Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 292: Richarlison's provocation, Xiaochu's strong response ( words to make up for the day before yesterday)

"Here are the starting lineups for both teams."

"Everton lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Karl-Heinz Röhn as the lone striker."

"Attacking midfielders Richarlison, Sigurdsson and Bernard."

"Schneiderlin and Idrissa are in the back, while Coleman, Michael, Zouma and Digne are lined up in the back line."

"Everton's wing strength has been unprecedentedly improved after the introduction of Brazilian player Richarlison."

"Manchester United played in a 4-3-1-2 formation, with Pogba, Mahrez and others starting."

"This lineup has deliberately strengthened the wing defense, which must be Mourinho's response."

Goodison Park.

Amid the loud cheers of Everton fans, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Beep! ! !
Everton took the lead in kicking off and launched an attack in the frontcourt.

After two seasons of running-in, they gradually stabilized their top ten performance in the league.

Of course there is a more interesting explanation.

Rooney scored a goal in his first Premier League match after returning to Everton. I thought he was still strong, but what happened?
After the Christmas schedule ended, the league had no results in fifteen rounds.

The most embarrassing thing is that in the next season when Rooney went to the MLS, Everton's performance began to steadily improve.

He is now in the commentary booth, chatting with Neville.

"Look at Manchester United's solid defense at the back. It's completely different from before I left!"

Rooney's tone was a little sour.

He felt that if he had not left so early, he might have been able to win two championships.

"Please come on, your salary is so high, how can the team afford it?"

Neville responded bluntly: "The club has been good enough to you."

Back then, Rooney had one year left on his contract with Manchester United.

Not only did Manchester United allow him to join Everton for free, they also covered part of his salary and bonuses, totaling up to 1500 million pounds.

Of course, Lukaku's transfer was given the green light.

"Alas, if Chu had joined the first team half a year earlier, I would never have left."

Rooney sighed, turned around and boasted: "Maybe you can see the Red Devils twin stars reappear on the green field!"

Neville looked at him with disdain.

There is a very true saying - time is a butcher's knife.

Rooney's figure now can only be described as bloated.

Neville doubted he could sprint.

In fact, Rooney is not that old. Like Ronaldo and Professor Yang, he was born in 1985.

Why can he play as a starter in the top league and team?
"I know you are recalling the glory of the past to cover up your current panic, but——"

"Come and see Everton's attack!"

Neville's voice suddenly rose by a third.

Everton used the grenade tactic, throwing the sideline ball directly into the penalty area, and Maguire's header did not exert full power.

The ball fell right towards Richarlison.

The Brazilian boy tilted his body slightly to the side, and then fell backwards resolutely!

Sideways overhead hook!

De Gea didn't even have time to react before the ball went into the goal.

1:0! ! !

The entire stadium was instantly filled with cheers, and Everton fans waved their arms wildly to celebrate.

Although Everton is Manchester United's loyal brother, it does not mean that Everton does not want to win.

They urgently need a place in the European competition to make up for the financial losses and the support of fans.

After scoring the goal, Richarlison was very arrogant. He ran dozens of meters, jumped up, punched, and punched in the air!
"Arrogant! Too arrogant!"

"Who in Europe, or even the world, doesn't know who created this celebration?"

"It's not that this celebration is Chu Feng's patent and other players are not allowed to use it, but the key is to see the occasion!"

"And Richarlison's behavior is equivalent to slapping you in the face. Some things are not suitable to be said in public."

Neville almost burst into curse.

After taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, he continued: "But I want to tell him that it is a good thing for young players to have high spirits, but it also depends on whether they have the strength to match it!"

Rooney listened nearby and nodded secretly.

He thinks Richarlison is very similar to Ronaldo, but there is a huge difference in their abilities.

Chu Feng stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

Richarlison passed by him with a provocative look on his face and in his eyes.

Just as Neville said.

The Brazilian boy is very proud and thinks he is a big star and is not inferior to anyone in terms of ability.

Although there are no outstanding results now, it is all because of my teammates.

Chu Feng didn't even bother to pay any attention. Whether it was the Premier League or the Champions League, there were too many people who wanted to step on him to become famous.

no way.

Who makes me the most famous player of the younger generation?

Richarlison couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He still wanted to have a conflict with Chu Feng and take this opportunity to stir up some popularity.

But he didn't expect Chu Feng not to accept the challenge.

"Don't be affected by this goal. On paper, we are stronger. We will definitely equalize if we play slowly."

Chu Feng reminded his teammates.

"Don't worry, we're only one goal behind, it's not a big deal."

Pogba grinned.

"When will Everton be able to get on top of us?"

Political Commissar E also encouraged his teammates, shouting angrily: "Come on! We must beat them today!"

The game resumed and Chu Feng passed the ball back.

Manchester United played calmly and steadily, constantly testing their opponents in the midfield.

Everton's response was simple - that was a high-position foul tactic to prevent Manchester United from advancing as much as possible.

No matter how strong you, Chu Feng, are, what’s the use if you can’t catch the ball?

"Attack to the side!"

Chu Feng commanded the formation to shift and put the focus on the right wing.

After receiving the ball, the Egyptian political commissar moved forward, was fouled by Richarlison, and the free kick was quickly sent to Pogba.

Pogba didn't stick to the ball for too long and kicked it to the right.

The football drew a series of zigzags on the green field, cleverly avoiding Everton's key defensive area, and finally landed at Mahrez's feet.

"Manchester United adjusted its attack direction in time and was not affected by Everton!"

"Pretty!"

“This is playing football with your brain!”

Neville clenched his fists in excitement.

People always say that Manchester United is brave but not wise, and that their playing style relies entirely on individual strength, but in fact Manchester United has rich tactical reserves.

Mourinho doesn't just play defensive counterattacks.

The Portuguese player stood on the sidelines with his arms folded across his chest, staring intently at the green field.

The purpose of launching an attack on the wing is not to create a threatening goal, but to tear apart Everton's defense.

"Pass the ball to the back!" Chu Feng shouted while running.

Zuma's nerves tensed up instantly, and he followed Chu Feng closely, not daring to let Chu Feng out of his sight.

There was even Digne next to him to assist in defense.

High-position foul tactics + close and tight defense in the backcourt, this is Everton's targeted tactics!
But as Chu Feng moved to the left, a gap appeared in front of the penalty area.

After Mahrez passed Coleman, he cut inside and passed the ball to Pogba, who followed up with a powerful shot!
Unfortunately, the football hit the crossbar and flew out.

"It's okay, keep going!"

Chu Feng consoled him and went to Ashley Young again: "We'll attack on the left wing later when you advance. I'll contain the Everton full-back and create as much space as possible for you."

"No problem, my feet are hot, I'll shoot if I get a chance."

Ashley Young touched his bald head.

He used to make forward runs less frequently, not because he didn't know how to do it, but because of tactical and physical requirements.

After all, before he was Professor Yang, he had another nickname: Yang Zuo Shi!
You can feel its value without any explanation.

When it was Everton's turn to attack, Manchester United also adopted high-pressure pressing to prevent Everton from crossing the line.

The midfield seemed to have become a meat grinder, with the ball changing hands at an extremely high frequency.

But the coaches on both sides saw the clues.

Manchester United always kept their formation stable, but Everton became a little chaotic, which reflects the level of tactics and players.

The 24th minute of the game.

Richarlison is worthy of being a Brazilian guy. He tried to pass Herrera with a rainbow on the wing.

Can Political Commissar Egypt tolerate this?

I'm not Kante, with a net height of 181cm. If I get dribbled past by Rainbow, I might as well just retire!

"Get out of my way!" Herrera muttered.

The experienced one turns around and gets into position regardless of the ball.

Richarlison wanted to counter-attack on the spot, but the political commissar had already passed the ball.

"Move! Move!"

Matic makes a quick run.

Kante made a low pass at the fastest speed, passing between Sigurdsson and Bernard.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! This pass is so beautiful!"

"Hey, Idrissa got into position ahead of time and blocked Matic's path. This player has good awareness!"

"wrong!"

Matic didn't even touch the ball, and let it slip behind him.

Ashley Young's forward runs were fast, fierce and accurate, running wildly against the moist summer breeze, as if he had returned to the time when he played as a winger!
But always feel like something is missing in your mouth?

Professor Yang did not think about the past and dribbled the ball towards Everton's penalty area.

"Give me!"

Chu Feng pulled himself out of the penalty area and came to the left rib to support.

Zuma naturally followed suit quickly.

Everton's right-back Digne is in a dilemma at the moment: should he defend Ashley Young or help Zouma in defense?
"Sure enough, they only know how to pass the ball to Manchester United's No. 7!"

Digne didn't even make a decision before he saw Ashley Young pass the ball.

He quickly took a half step to the side to prepare for assisting defense.

"Don't let him turn around, and don't get too close!"

As Mourinho's favorite disciple, Zouma's defensive level is naturally unquestionable.

The control of distance is very precise.

Chu Feng looked back, then stepped forward decisively to pass the ball, trying to create some space.

It was this simple action that made Zuma decisively choose to approach with all his strength.

He wants to steal the ball between Chu Feng's touches!
Mourinho once told him: "When any player handles the ball, there will be gaps between his movements, even if he is Maradona, and the job of the defensive player is to seize the gaps to complete the destruction!"

Of course Chu Feng had also heard this, so he would not give Zuma a chance.

He lightly rubbed the football with the instep of his right foot.

Snapped! ! !
Under Zuma's astonished gaze, the football quietly slipped out from under his crotch and rolled to the left along the grass!

And also avoided Digne.

"An unconventional pass broke through the Everton defense and landed at Ashley Young's feet!"

"A great one-on-one opportunity!" Because Digne was too close to the middle and no one could come to defend him, Ashley Young was not in a hurry when handling the ball.

He slowed down slightly and when the ball rolled in front of him, the Everton goalkeeper had already left the goal.

Without any feints, he shot directly into the far post.

next second.

Ashley Young also punched the air, which caused crazy ridicule from Manchester United fans at the scene.

"Look at that Brazilian kid, he still wants to compare himself with Chu?"

"Don't lose heart, Brazilian boy! Even though you are five months older than Chu, you still have more championships than him!"

"You've scored three times as many goals in a single season as you have in your career. Are you qualified to provoke Chu?!"

"."

As we all know, in the five major leagues, Manchester United fans rank among the top in terms of combat effectiveness, and their mouths are enough to make people angry to death.

Even Mourinho was almost broken by the scolding.

As Richarlison listened to the taunts, the anger in his heart was like a volcano, surging and about to erupt.

"Give me the ball when you have a chance!"

The Brazilian boy said through gritted teeth.

He wants to turn his anger into strength, use goals to slap Manchester United fans in the face, and use goals to destroy Manchester United's championship dream!
"Chu used a very clever diagonal pass to penetrate Everton's wing!"

"Ashley Young did not waste the opportunity and steadily sent the ball into the Everton goal. The connection between the old and the new is beautiful!"

"Chu was closely marked in this game, but if he becomes a dud because of this, he doesn't deserve to wear the captain's armband!"

"It turns out he's qualified!"

After analyzing, Neville exclaimed: "Looking back at Manchester United's attack, from Herrera's steal to Ashley Young's goal, there were no mistakes in every link. This is what deserves the most praise!"

Rooney next to him was full of envy. He wished Chu Feng could be born a few years earlier so that he could catch up with his peak period.

How strong will Manchester United be then?
"He is very similar to me when I was young. His movements are full of spirituality and impact."

Rooney sighed deeply.

"Like? Zuko doesn't like Lao A-"

Neville complained subconsciously and quickly swallowed his words.

If this was said live.
Very serious consequences.

"How do you know my location?!"

Ashley Young asked suspiciously.

"Oh, wasn't I a winger originally? I often watched your videos to learn from you."

Chu Feng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ashley Young's mouth was harder to suppress than an AK47. He cleared his throat and waved his hand modestly: "Why haven't I heard you say this before? But you did find the right person. I play like a typical winger, but I have a few shortcomings."

Chu Feng just smiled and said nothing.

Yes, there are indeed a few shortcomings, such as the cross is like a volley, the dribble is purely routine, and occasionally eats bird shit
When Chu Feng was practicing long passes, why did he choose Carrick instead of Professor Yang?

Because he was afraid that he would also develop the ability to make long passes with volleys.

After the reversal, Manchester United retreated, built a dense defense line in the midfield, and defended calmly.

Anyway, they shouldn't be the ones who are anxious.

43nd minute of the second half.

Sigurdsson received the pass from his teammate and was immediately confronted by Matic.

Iceland's sniper is famous, so naturally we can't let him shoot, and close interference is the best option.

"Give me!"

Hearing Richarlison's shout, Sigurdsson passed the ball without hesitation.

Richarlison didn't do anything fancy this time.

He took the ball and rushed towards Herrera. The moment Political Commissar Herrera stretched out his foot, the rhythm suddenly changed and he completed the breakthrough!
Just as he was about to continue passing the opponent, a figure rushed out from the side.

Kanter!

The Earth is covered by 71% water, and the rest is covered by Canter!
Before Richarlison broke through, he quietly moved sideways several meters and easily took the ball back.

A pass back to David Luiz.

The Brazilians' footwork seems to be pretty good. Facing the crazy Richarlison, David Luiz kicked directly!
The football flew up and fell down spinning.

The focus of the trajectory is obviously the right road.

"A medium-to-short-distance long pass accurately found Mahrez!"

"Just push the ball to the middle!"

"POGBA!!!"

As Neville gave an excited commentary, Pogba moved sideways to control the ball and dribbled past Schneiderlin.

Then came an unremarkable diagonal pass.

Zouma learned from his failure and did not move closer to steal the ball, but kept his distance.

But he didn't look for Chu Feng, Chu Feng looked for him instead!
As the distance between the two men grew closer, Zuma felt as if a stone was hanging in his heart, and the oppressive feeling even made it difficult for him to breathe.

Can't just wait passively!
Otherwise, once Chu Feng fully accelerated, he would be overtaken by a change of direction.

The moment he pressed forward, Chu Feng swung his right foot violently!

The football drew an arc like a cow's tail and just passed by Zuma's outstretched foot!

Immediately, Chu Feng tightened his core and burst out with strength once again.

His powerful explosive power allowed him to pass Zouma in one step, catch up with the football in two steps, and complete the breakthrough.

"Wow! Look at this unreasonable dribble that directly destroyed Everton's defense!"

"Now there is only one goalkeeper between Chu and the goal!"

Pickford was highly focused, always paying attention to Chu Feng's movements, as long as he dared to reveal the slightest flaw
I am confident that I can catch the ball!
But then his pupils suddenly contracted and he strongly suppressed the urge to fall to the ground.

Chu Feng was not far in front of him.

Step forward with your left foot and shift your center of gravity slightly to the left.

Step your right foot forward to the left, shifting your center of gravity slightly to the right.

It's like a pendulum that never stops!

Moreover, all the movements were completed at high speed, and Pickford seemed to be able to hear the wailing of his knees.

What is the real intention?
Pickford couldn't judge, he felt that Chu Feng could change direction at any time.

He was dizzy from the shaking.

Chu Feng no longer hesitated upon seeing this. He increased the amplitude of his center of gravity and prepared to break through from the left side.

Pickford is worthy of being the goalkeeper of the British Empire.

Even when you are about to lose your balance, you can still make accurate judgments.

But Chu Feng didn't touch the ball.

As Pickford fell to the ground helplessly, Chu Feng took the ball away from the right, leaving him with an unreachable back.

then.

Chu Feng did not shoot into the empty goal, but instead managed a shot before falling to the ground.

To pass a person while the pendulum is moving at high speed requires not only extremely high physical fitness, but also delicate and skilled techniques.

He was about to lose his balance in the end.

Fortunately, his luck was pretty good and he didn't end up with a poor performance.

"Before the end of the first half, Manchester United scored another goal!"

"No reversal, no red devil!"

"If you turn on the TV and see Manchester United are trailing, don't worry about it because we can come back!"

Neville explained passionately.

Rooney listened quietly on the side, and after Neville calmed down, he said: "Let's review it from the players' perspective. Ashley Young made a forward run to contain Digne, creating a one-on-one opportunity for Chu."

"Then the most exciting part of this goal was Chu's two incredible dribbles!"

"The bull tail and pendulum pass in high-speed sports were difficult to do even at my peak. I can only say that I am strong!"

Neville was in a good mood and was too lazy to complain about Rooney anymore.

At Goodison Park, the applause was thunderous, and even Everton fans couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

This goal was so beautiful that it really increased the viewing experience.

Besides, Manchester United and Everton have a good relationship.

"Chu, does your knee hurt?"

Mahrez rubbed his knee and asked in an incredulous tone.

"The load is indeed a bit heavy, but I'm born an iron man, so I'm not afraid!"

Chu Feng chuckled twice.

Without the injury immunity module, he certainly wouldn't be so violent, unless he wanted his career to last only two years.

Mahrez sighed: "I'm so envious. If I had your iron knees, I could cut inside even faster."

When the two men passed by Richarlison, the Brazilian boy didn't dare to look directly at Chu Feng.

As a player who excels in dribbling, he is well aware of the difficulty of this set of moves and knows that he is far from being able to do it.

"Don't compare yourself with perverts, or you'll lose your balance."

Sigurdsson patted Richarlison on the shoulder and spoke softly with the tone of an experienced person.

Richarlison responded with silence.

It is difficult for people with high aspirations to recover after being hit.

Not everyone is Cristiano Ronaldo, who can win the Ballon d'Or again after Messi has won it four times.

Therefore, it is destined that Richarlison's ceiling will not be too high.

The game ended shortly after it resumed and entered halftime.

The players of both teams returned to the locker room with different feelings.

Silence is the theme at Everton.

No matter how they targeted Chu Feng, it was useless. That feeling of powerlessness filled everyone's heart.

"Zuma, that goal is not your responsibility, don't have too much psychological pressure."

The head coach thought for a long time before he uttered a word.

Zuma's mood improved a little, and he said tentatively: "Let Idrissa retreat a little, otherwise I really can't defend him."

The head coach will naturally agree.

If Zouma is attacked by Chu Feng a few more times, his mentality will probably explode. How can he play next?
the other side.

There was laughter in the visiting team's locker room. Mourinho said to Chu Feng: "In the second half, you will take advantage of Everton's defense and start from the offensive third zone."

At that time, all three defensive midfielders of Manchester United can press forward and directly form a numerical advantage in a small area.

"Ok."

Chu Feng nodded.

There weren’t many adjustments made afterwards, fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the two teams changed sides!

When Pogba scored a long shot for Manchester United in the 63rd minute of the game, the suspense of the game was completely killed.

Mourinho also started making substitutions.

Rashford replaces Chu Feng and McTominay replaces Pogba.

The tactical strategy is mainly defensive.

Kante became the brightest guy on the court. He could be seen everywhere and frequently made key interceptions.

Zouma's mentality did not collapse, but Richarlison did.

No goal was scored until the end of the game. Manchester United played extreme offense in the first half and iron defense in the second half.

"Congratulations to Manchester United for taking the three points from Goodison Park."

"But Manchester City beat Tottenham 1-0 in the league yesterday and still firmly occupies the top spot in the standings, with a two-point gap with Manchester United."

“As for who will win the Premier League title in the end?”

"Who will win between Manchester United and Manchester City will be decided in four days!"
