Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 277 The boy who walked out of the Carrington training base performed a beautiful comeback at Old Tradford!

"At least we equalized the score in the first half." Chu Feng's chest heaved violently, breathing heavily.

Because of Manchester United's three-back midfielder system, the number of offensive players is limited, and personal strength must be used to make up for it.

It's okay against weak teams on weekdays, as I can force my way through.

But Van Dijk, Matip and Fabinho, everyone's defensive level is very high.

Therefore, the opportunities he created during the first half were really limited, and he was able to seize very few.

That's why I'm so tired.

And Van Dijk and others are not much better. Klopp gave many instructions before the game. As long as Chu Feng is restrained, Manchester United will not be able to make waves.

In fact, they did that too, but they just didn't do it.

"What I hate the most is forwards who are physically strong, have good skills, and have brains!"

Matip complained helplessly.

If Manchester United hadn't seized on the weakness of the single defensive midfielder, their defensive strength would not have been divided, and it would not have been possible for Chu Feng to score a long shot.

Van Dyke nodded in approval.

He is also Chu Feng's old rival, and has witnessed Chu Feng's growth with his own eyes. His original playing style was still a little immature, and he was always used to forcing breakthroughs with his strength.

It would be easier to deal with him if he kept doing this, but the bad thing is that Chu Feng uses his brain to play football.

Van Dyke looked at Chu Feng's back in front of him, and an idea came to him inexplicably.

That is, if he wants to compete for the Golden Globe Award as a central defender, Chu Feng is the biggest obstacle in front of him!

"I will guard him personally in the second half!" Van Dyke was not frustrated or disappointed, but his fighting spirit became stronger.

As the saying goes, a good opponent can stimulate your sense of competition and aggressiveness, prompting you to continuously strive to improve your abilities and performance.

That's what Van Dyke was thinking at this time.

Firmino next to him was a little envious. The outside world said that he was an "alternative center forward" and created a new way of playing for centers.

In the 2016-17 season, he averaged 1.74 steals per game and won the title of "Shield Forward".

In the 2017-18 season, he delivered the most threatening balls in the team and earned the title of "Lubricant".

But doesn’t he want to pass three people in a row and pass the goalkeeper?
It can't be.
Every center in football has the same dream, which is to keep sending the football into the goal.

"Special positioning, special playing style, but in the end I couldn't even make it to the national team."

Firmino sighed inwardly.

Chu Feng didn't know that his opponent had so much inner drama. He walked to the side of the court, hugged and high-fived Mourinho, and asked with a smile on his face: "Boss, how was my long shot just now? Did it scare you?" ?”

Looking at the dirt on Chu Feng's body and the grass clippings in his hair, Mourinho couldn't help but sigh.

What a player, what head coach wouldn't like.

He couldn't help but think of watching Ronaldo play with Guardiola when he was an interpreter at Barcelona.
Chu Feng seemed to give him a stronger feeling, but there might be subjective factors involved.

"Actually, I thought of it a long time ago, but it's still perfect!" Mourinho patted him on the shoulder. "Of course, Marcus' pass is also very beautiful."

Rashford touched his head and laughed twice.

He has an obvious feeling recently that his strength is improving very quickly.

As for the reason?
It must be that the competition within the team was fierce, which made him work harder involuntarily. Lingard asked him to play several times, but he finally refused decisively.

After all, with a peer who is incredibly good, any player with a little bit of gumption will work harder.

Maguire, who was next to him, also followed suit, and then he heard Mourinho say: "Harry, how many times have I told you, your kicking speed is too slow, so you just use your body to get stuck! How can you still beat Sara?" Let He go?"

Suddenly, Maguire put on a show of changing his face. He lowered his head angrily and admitted his mistake: "Boss, it's my problem. It won't happen next time."

This is his summary of tips for dealing with Mourinho.

It doesn't matter whether you are at fault or not, just admit it first and that's it. As long as you are sincere in admitting your mistake, the boss will usually not pursue it.

as predicted.

"Go back to the locker room and rest first, Riyad, come with us."

Mourinho waved his hand helplessly.

The staff had already prepared supplies. Chu Feng casually broke off two bananas, peeled them and ate them slowly.

I didn’t say much about tactical adjustments.

The main reason is that Chu Feng made good adjustments on the field. Mourinho couldn't find too many problems, so he could only make a pot of chicken soup for everyone first.

"Now, Manchester City should be watching this game from top to bottom. They definitely hope that we can draw and then they will become the final winner."

"But the more the enemy thinks this way, the less likely they will be able to get what they want!"

"I don't know if you have ever experienced being behind in points and watching TV eagerly, expecting your opponent to lose a crucial game."

Mourinho unbuttoned his suit and sat down on the table.

Then, as if he was reminiscing about the past, he suddenly smiled and continued: "Anyway, I have experienced many, many times, the feeling of being in control of your own destiny. It's like drowning when you can't swim, and you can only hope that others will come. save you."

"I said so many words, I just want to tell you, don't wait until you regret it later."

"In the second half of the game, let me see your determination and desire for honor!"

"."

Chu Feng leaned against the locker in the locker room, his emotions aroused.

Lao Mu doesn't talk about anything else, but the chicken blood is indeed very powerful.

Especially after improvements, he will no longer use a preaching tone, but will put himself and the players on the same footing.

Chu Feng silently kept the details in mind, maybe he would have the opportunity to use them in the future.

The other players were also teased and howled, their eyes seemed to be glowing red.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The two sides returned to the green field and started the second half of the game at the referee's whistle.

"Both teams have not made any substitution adjustments. It looks like they are going to hold back a lot!"

"Liverpool's attack after kick-off was very sharp. They reduced the midfield transition and used the speed of the wings to directly hit the space behind Manchester United's defense!"

"Manchester United also responded well, with the overall formation compressing backwards."

The fast-paced transition between offense and defense allowed the players from both teams to quickly get into shape.

The 51th minute of the game.

Fabinho dribbled the ball forward quickly, but Pogba stretched his long legs and didn't touch him. He got over and pushed directly from behind.

There is no doubt that it is a yellow card action!

The referee fulfilled his promise and made stricter penalties than in the first half, even though he faced boos from the sky.

"In fact, he can't control the game like this, but it will make the intensity more and more intense."

"Because it is impossible for players from both teams to admit defeat, their movements are destined to be greater. Even if a red card occurs, it is very normal."

After all, Neville has played in so many double-red games, and he understands the mood of the players standing on the court very well.

Carragher also nodded.

After he scored two own goals, he became Liverpool's sinner and felt that his life was dark.

If Gerrard hadn't helped out later, his career might even have ended.

This is the influence of the Double Red Club!

As if to verify Neville's words, Herrera was tackled by Wijnaldum, and his ankle immediately swelled into a big bag.

After examination by the team doctor, although the problem was not serious, he could not continue playing.

The conflict between the two teams inevitably broke out again, with pushing and insulting.
Substitute players, coaching staff, and team doctors were all involved.

Some Manchester United fans even climbed over the fence and ran into the stadium to punch Wijnaldum, but were stopped halfway by security guards with quick eyes and quick hands.

Mourinho and Klopp also had bad tempers, pointing their index fingers at each other and questioning each other crazily.

After the intervention of riot police and staff, play was finally resumed after seven minutes.

Mourinho was forced to replace Herrera, and before McTominay came on, he said this to him: "You are not the best player in the world and you cannot be the leader of Manchester United, but -"

"But I have always believed that your desire to win is no less than Chu's, to prove to the world that you are also the pride of Old Trafford!"

McTominay took a deep breath and glanced at Chu who was standing at the front.

His once close partner grew rapidly and gradually distanced himself from him, but he was not humiliated or jealous.

On the contrary, he has always used Chu Feng as an example to inspire himself to keep working hard.

"Boss, don't worry!"

McTominay patted his chest and stepped onto this sacred turf for him.

After the game restarted, the atmosphere was already tense.

"A foul of this level is not a red card. I seriously doubt the referee's ability to enforce the law!"

“Has he ever received formal training!!!”

Neville slapped the table and roared.

"First of all, Wijnaldum didn't show his spikes, and he also had the action of closing his feet!"

"Secondly, if a foul of this level requires a red card, then I think Paul (Scholes) will get at least three red cards in every game!!"

Carragher stepped on the bench to retort.

The two continued to debate in the commentary box, and the situation on the court was also changing. 65th minute of the second half.

Salah beat Ashley Young and sent a cross from behind.

Mane jumped up as hard as he could, but failed to grab a bit, and was cleared by David Luiz's header.

How sharp is Manchester United's counterattack?
In just the blink of an eye, Liverpool fans noticed that the ball went from McTominay to Pogba near the center circle.

All are done with one kick, without any delay!
"Follow No. 7! Follow No. 7!"

Alisson was so anxious in the backcourt that his voice was almost hoarse.

Chu Feng made a gesture to Pogba, turned around and rushed towards the Liverpool half. He also controlled the forward speed and maintained a position parallel to Van Dijk.

Even if you want to cause offside, you can't.
Van Dyke had no choice but to retreat, but compared with before, the difference was that he was being coerced.

This passive feeling made him very angry, and he wanted to give Chu Feng a hard shovel.

But he didn't dare to have a yellow card on him. Chu Feng was eager to be fouled by him and drive away Liverpool's defense.

Van Dyke suffered a loss last time and was determined not to do it again.

Chu Feng's involvement opened up the space on the right side, which is Fabinho's left rear.

"Here we go, Manchester United's cross-positioning in the frontcourt was stuck at the moment when Liverpool changed formation!"

"Rashford ran into the gap, Pogba's pass was accurate and beautiful, and he had a chance to get a solo shot!"

Matip was too bulky due to the limitation of his body. He looked at Rashford who was about to pass by him, gritted his teeth, and pulled him directly!

Beep! ! !
Before a conflict broke out between the players of the two teams, the referee directly took out the red card!

Damn it, I didn’t cherish the opportunity I gave you before, but now he’s going to scare the monkeys!
The referee was also very angry.

And judging from Matip's behavior alone, a red card is definitely not an exaggeration if it destroys the opponent's obvious scoring opportunity!
"Go all back!"

Chu Feng looked at Pogba who wanted to stir up trouble. They were obviously benefiting now, but if he got another yellow card, it would be Liverpool's way.

Next they will play 11 men with 10 men.

Moreover, Liverpool still lacks central defenders, and Klopp must remove the strikers to fill the vacancies in the defense.

By then, Manchester United will not be under much defensive pressure, and they will definitely win if they play steadily and steadily!

So calmness is the most important thing now.

The Liverpool players over there were still begging for mercy, but the referee had already made up his mind and there was absolutely no possibility of changing the decision.

Klopp looked at the people on the bench, his face turning darker than a black pot.

Two forwards, two midfielders, a goalkeeper, and a defender.
The only defender is still full-back-Arnold.

How to change this?
"Klopp replaced Trent Alexander-Arnold and put Milner at centre-back. He was really pushed into a corner."

Neville snickered under his breath.

You must know that Milner is only 175cm tall, and his air defense ability is almost negligible.

The pressure on Van Dijk will be very heavy next.

"Manchester United also made substitution adjustments. Luke Shaw replaced Ashley Young. It was obvious that he wanted to catch Arnold!"

"I even saw the goal coming!"

Neville was still chattering, but Carragher retorted unhappily: "You can wait until Manchester United scores a goal before you talk about it. The audience will be annoyed by the constant blaring of little speakers!"

From a set kick 26 meters away from the goal, you can directly try to shoot.

But Chu Feng found Pogba, covered his mouth and whispered: "I will go there later."

After speaking, he looked at Maguire again.

"I know!"

Maguire patted his head hard, his eyes filled with confidence.

He believes that in the Manchester United team, if Chu Feng ranks first in headers, then he is second.

Chu Feng ignored this live treasure and warned his teammates again before running towards the Liverpool penalty area.

In the Liverpool penalty area at this time, Chu Feng, McTominay, Matic, and Maguire are all strong men over 180cm.

It perfectly explains what Manchester Air Wing is.

Beep! ! !
The next moment the referee's whistle sounded, Pogba sent the ball to the Liverpool penalty area.

"Look at No. 7!"

Before Alisson finished speaking, Van Dijk stuck to Chu Feng, not giving him any room to jump!
But then.

Liverpool players discovered that Chu Feng was running to the right, but the football was flying to the left.

Under the nervous eyes of the entire audience.

Maguire was like a tank, running over Milner.

After all, the weight difference between the two is a full 30 kilograms!

However, Maguire quickly discovered that the football was slightly higher and his jump was not high enough. The football brushed against his scalp.

Before he could feel annoyed and regretful, another red figure rushed out!
McTominay came up with a headbutt!
boom!
The football hit the left side of the goal!

At this moment, Liverpool fans couldn't help but cover their faces because they knew there was little hope.

The Manchester United fans cheered wildly, setting off a sea of ​​red in the stands.

McTominay even knelt down passionately to celebrate.

He realized his dream at the Dream Theater, which was to score the goal of his archenemy on behalf of the Red Devils!

Moreover, he also proved one thing, that is, it doesn't matter if you don't have talent, what matters is persistence and hard work.

Even if you can't become someone like Chu, you can definitely become the pride of Manchester United!
"Scott, don't you feel good! Remember this feeling, and you can keep walking when you feel tired in the future!"

Chu Feng shouted into McTominay's ear.

"Ok!"

McTominay nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with bright light.

Similar to the passion on the pitch, some people in the commentary box also went crazy. Neville's face turned red and he roared.

"The young man who came out of the Carrington training base performed a beautiful comeback at Old Tradford!"

"This is why the Red Devils are always strong!"

"Looking at Chu and Scott, I remembered the Class 92 team. We were like that at that time, walking forward side by side!"

“Until you reach the top of Europe!”

"Boys from Manchester United, I hope you can once again create an era unique to the Red Devils and Manchester United!"

In the center of the Ferguson Stand, Sir Alex Ferguson, Beckham, Scholes and others were sitting there, seeming to recall the past.

Beckham smiled and said: "If our forward was Chu at that time, could we have won a few more championships?"

"Maybe."

Ferguson adjusted his glasses, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

At that time, he left the red empire he had created and watched Manchester United gradually deteriorate under the hands of several head coaches.

To be honest, he was heartbroken.

But fortunately, things turned around, Manchester United did not continue to sink, and the bad atmosphere was forcefully eliminated.

According to Manchester United's profit-seeking management, such a thing should not have happened.

However, Chu Feng has become a key figure in balancing the several parties. He is from the Manchester United youth training camp, has a good relationship with the players, and is a disciple of Mourinho.
It really couldn't be done by another person.

"Keep watching the game, the outcome is not determined yet."

Ferguson crossed his legs, and the thermos cup in his hand was steady without any trembling.

Liverpool, who had been reversed, wanted to counterattack, but with one less player to fight, they could not organize their frontcourt pressure and made frequent mistakes in defense in the backcourt.
The more fatal problem is that the players' physical fitness has seriously declined.

At this moment, Salah is akimbo, taking advantage of the dead ball time to rest. He feels as if his body has been filled with lead. People with lactic acid accumulation will feel uncomfortable when they move.

It was so exciting to press high in the first 70 minutes, but now it's so embarrassing to deal with it.

Klopp could only make substitutions, replacing Firmino with Sturridge and Shaqiri replacing Henderson.

As for Salah, he can only hold on.

This directly led to the collapse of Liverpool's right wing. Alexander-Arnold, who had just come on, was blasted back and forth by Rashford and Luke Shaw in turns!
After all, his defensive level is not very good to begin with.

In the 83rd minute of the game, there was still a collision with the wall on the left wing. Luke Shaw advanced along the sideline at high speed, stopped suddenly, shook Arnold away, and then made a cross.

The football drew a 45-degree arc and came to the front point.

This time in the contest with Van Dijk, Chu Feng gained an absolute advantage and overpowered the Dutchman to complete the header.

Liverpool's goal was broken again!
This goal wiped out all hope left for Liverpool. Even Van Dijk, who was the most motivated, lost his sight. It was not because Chu Feng had dampened his confidence. It was just because he was tired.

This Milner is okay as a full-back, but the center back is simply useless.

Van Dyke was back and forth to cover up the defense and almost broke his leg. How could he still have the strength to deal with Chu Feng?
The next game passed quickly and without any disturbance, amid the cheers of Manchester United fans.

Because Manchester United no longer played the same old game of relying on defense and waiting for opportunities to counterattack, but instead continued to launch attacks from the left.

Arnold was almost mentally disturbed.

Liverpool focused all their energy on defense and barely managed to avoid being rewritten by Manchester United.

Beep-beep-beep!
Finally, the whistle sounded and the game was over!
