Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 350 Harland's Inner Demon
After entering early October, the Premier League ended and the Champions League followed.

Manchester United will travel to Salzburg, Austria to challenge Salzburg Red Bull away.

As a team under the Austrian Red Bull, they have obtained a lot of resources and have become another black shop in Europe.

Their football director is Rangnick, who is known as the godfather of football.

Compared with his tactical ability in coaching a team, he has a better eye for young players.

For example, Mane once played for Red Bull Salzburg.

Now players in the team such as Hwang Hee-chan, Haaland, Minamino Takumi, and Soboslai are gradually showing their potential.

It is said that Haaland has been spotted by Dortmund and will be traded during the winter transfer window.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Press hard!"

Head coach Mashi urged.

He once coached the New York Red Bulls in the United States, winning awards and achieving many outstanding results for the team.

But the intensity of the MLS is well known.

So it is also a new challenge at Red Bull Salzburg, and we must perform well against Manchester United.

After all, the pressure from Manchester United is too great.

"Do you think we can win?"

Minamino Takumi asked.

"There is definitely a chance. Manchester United is strong, but they are not invincible."

Huang Xican suddenly remembered the previous Asian Top 12 Tournament.

He maliciously kicked a Chinese player, leading to a violent conflict between the two sides.

From then on, the impression was left that Chinese players were very soft.

"It's a pity that we were not grouped with China in the top 40, otherwise we could have found a chance to teach Chu a lesson."

Minamino Takumi said sinisterly.

He is a typical smiling tiger, if you don't know it.

I thought he went to La Masia Film and Television Base for further studies.

"It's okay, it's the same when we wait for the top 12, but it's a deal!"

Huang Xican also showed a sinister smile: "When the time comes, no matter who meets him, they will humiliate him after winning the game. Who made him so arrogant in the Premier League that he even dared to look down on Heung Min?"

"Row!"

Minamino Takumi nodded.

He felt that with the strength of the Chinese team, at best they were third-rate in Asia, how could they compare with Japan and South Korea?
Even if Chu Feng, who is at the Golden Ball level, is added, it won’t work.

"Come and train."

Harland said with a frown.

Ever since he came to Red Bull Salzburg, he felt that these two people were not good people.

Always like to discuss others behind their backs.

But he was about to leave and was too lazy to care about such things.

The Champions League match day soon arrived.

Thirty thousand fans came to the Red Bull Stadium to cheer for Salzburg Red Bull.

Chu Feng pointed at Huang Xican and Minamino Takumi on the opposite side and said, "Remember this guy, and beat him hard later!"

"Chu, do you have a grudge?"

Wan Bissaka was completely confused.

"That grudge is huge!"

Chu Feng nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm in great shape today and will help you tackle him a few more times!"

Wan-Bissaka rolled up his sleeves.

Since the boss said he wanted to do it, then he would just do it.

Anyway, I have never suffered any loss by following Chu.

"I'm coming too!"

B Fee volunteered.

If he wants to gain a foothold in Manchester United, he must get Chu Feng's approval.

no way.

This is the team tyrant.

Not far away, Hwang Hee-chan and Minamino Takumi saw the malicious looks of the Manchester United players.

I couldn't help but shudder.

After returning to the locker room, Mourinho coughed twice and said: "Don't think Salzburg Red Bull is weak. In fact, if they are placed in the Premier League, they should be ranked in the middle and lower reaches."

"And their high-pressure system is similar to Liverpool's, using the excellent mobility of young players to press and then get the ball to the front line in the shortest time possible."

"So today we don't stay in the midfield for too long, and we also need to make quick transfers to avoid being intercepted by the opponent and counterattacked."

Mourinho takes every game seriously.

This is his inherent character and has nothing to do with age or experience.

"Salzburg Red Bull's left side defense is relatively weak, so I can try a long pass over the top if I have the chance. I don't feel too much pressure to compete with them in speed."

Chu Feng added.

"Okay, let's win as many games as possible in the Champions League group stage. We need to secure our qualification spot in advance and prepare for the tight Christmas schedule."

Mourinho nodded.

"come on!!!--"

After everyone roared in cheers, they walked out of the locker room.

Red Bull Salzburg vs Manchester United at home.

Red Bull head coach Masch is not a conservative. On the contrary, his tactical ideas are very novel.

A 4-2-2-2 formation was deployed.

Haaland and Hwang Hee-chan form the double striker relationship in the frontcourt.

Takumi Minamino, Soboslai, Benede and Junuzovic form a diamond midfield.

Rasmus, Ramalho, Wöber and Ulmer lined up on the back line.

This is equivalent to concentrating resources in the middle, with both wings relying entirely on the full-backs to defend.

This has to do with the characteristics of the players of Salzburg Red Bull.

The combination of Haaland and Hwang Hee-chan, one tall and one strong, has enough impact.

But his heading ability is a bit poor.

So it’s better not to go to the sides, but to create vertical space by penetrating through the middle.

Anyway, this lineup will work in the Austrian Super League no matter how you play.

As for Manchester United, they lined up in a classic 4-3-1-2 formation, which did not change much from the previous game.

Only Havertz on the central axis was replaced by Big B.

Almost as Mourinho predicted, Salzburg Red Bull started the game with high pressure and showed an attitude of occupying the central space at all costs.

it is good.

Manchester United did not compete with them, but instead expanded from both wings.

As for Chu Feng, he kept moving around Grealish.

His purpose is simple.

Constantly breaking through Salzburg Red Bull's flanks forced them to divert their defensive resources.

This way there will be space in the middle.

When tactics and practice are perfectly combined, results are quickly achieved.

"Chu retreats to the left to receive the ball!"

"The Salzburg Red Bulls were fighting fiercely, and three people surrounded them in an instant!"

"Want to do it yourself?"

No.

Isn’t it more fun to fight in a group than to fight alone?
Chu Feng found a gap in the encirclement of three people and passed the ball back to Matic.

The latter passed the ball along the sideline to Sandro.

The Brazilian winger quickly shook off Rasmus and passed the ball to the far end near the baseline!
Grealish!

Shaker made a forward run at the best moment and threw himself out for a sliding shot!
"Wow, he rolled out, brushing against the doorpost!"

"Manchester United had a chance early in the game but unfortunately they were unable to convert it into a shot."

"But you can see that Manchester United is very relaxed."

The Salzburg Red Bull players breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? Mr. Golden Globe, you don't dare to pass me?"

Minamino Takumi approached Chu Feng and said something sarcastic.

"Stupid."

Chu Feng turned around without looking back and returned to his seat.

There will be a time for you.

Minamino Takumi's face turned pale. He still wanted to provoke Chu Feng and use the same trick he used on Materazzi.

But who knew that they wouldn't answer at all.

As time went by, Ma Xi's brows became more and more furrowed.

It was difficult for the team to steal the ball in dangerous areas, and penetration through the middle was largely ineffective.

Who made the defensive combination of Herrera, Kante and Matic full of strength?

Haaland hadn't touched the football for a long time, and the occasional time he received it was blocked by the clumsy-looking central defender.

He can't take advantage of his physical strength at all.

Manchester United's form really got better and better as the game went on, and they gradually took control of the tempo of the game.

"Wan-Bissaka!"

"This tackle directly knocked over Huang Xican. The referee signaled that the game should continue!"

"Break in from the wing, eh, and just kick the ball long?"

Chu Feng looked back and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The footwork is too rough.

If Scholes had passed the ball, I think I would have had a one-on-one opportunity.

When he has the ball under control.

Salzburg Red Bull had completed their defense and built a tight defense line in the penalty area. Huang Xican even ran back from the front court.

Facing the assisting defense of Huang Xican and Ulmer, Chu Feng stepped on the ball on the spot and tried it out.

Do not move.

Maybe it was because there were two people defending.

Salzburg Red Bull relaxed its control over the penalty area, which is the area in front of Chu Feng.

As long as you can get through, there is a chance.

He suddenly stepped over the ball with his right foot, as if to break through from the outside.

Ulmer followed up subconsciously.

But the next moment.

He found that Chu Feng stepped on his right foot again and got rid of him elegantly.

He can only place his hopes on his teammates.

Huang Xican put down the tackle without saying a word.

Because he thought the distance was close enough and within the gap between Chu Feng and the ball.

It's impossible not to shovel it.

"Xiba!"

Huang Xican threw his body out, but found that Chu Feng was doing it at a faster frequency.

Tip the ball!

A narrow shooting space was created.

"Stab and shoot!"

"We got the ball!"

Huang Xican watched the football go into the net with his own eyes, and he punched the grass in anger and shame.

How could the ball not be tackled?

He couldn't figure it out!
Chu Feng ignored Huang Xican, but showed a sarcastic expression when passing by Minamino Takuji.

It's just a loss of face to argue with this guy.

"Chu is still strong!"

Haaland couldn't help but sigh and felt a little lost.

He originally thought that the gap between the two could be narrowed.

But those two precise ball-touching moves just now might be something he wouldn't be able to do even if he practiced for a few more years.

"It's okay, we are still young."

Soboslai comforted.

"But Chu isn't old, he's only 21, two years older than us!"

Haaland feels the future is bleak.

Anyone who plays football has the same dream, which is to win the Ballon d'Or.

And the Golden Globe Award may be monopolized in the future.

"Just because he's strong, should we not work hard?"

Soboslai said seriously: "It is precisely because he is a mountain that we have to try our best to climb over it!"

Haaland regained his composure after hearing this.

He decided.

He doesn't want to be Chu's teammate, he wants to be Chu's opponent!
Being on the same team will always be suppressed.

It’s better to come out and find your own opportunity.

Maybe there will be a chance to overcome the mountain in the future.

Chu Feng had no idea that he had become a mountain in the hearts of the young players. He was celebrating the goal with the Manchester United fans who had come from afar.

"Boss, Salzburg Red Bull has several good young players. I think we can focus on them."

Faria could not help but pick up the hoe.

"Don't always focus on other people's young players. I think this tactic is worth learning from because our forward line is stronger than theirs."

Mourinho rubbed his chin.

He has been feeling powerless recently, perhaps because his tactics have been studied thoroughly.

Just like Conte's original three central defenders.

Manchester United's three defensive midfielders were indeed at their best, but this also led to a lack of ability to advance.

It doesn't matter if it's a world-class attacking midfielder.

But Manchester United didn't.

“Convert the numerical advantage into a spatial advantage and force the midfield and frontcourt to establish a connection.”

Mourinho thinks this idea is feasible.

So he carefully observed Salzburg Red Bull's tactics in the next game.

The camera returns to the green field.

When Chu Feng received the ball on the wing again, Salzburg Red Bull couldn't hold on.

The defensive line must be shifted.

Otherwise it will be exploded directly.

The next second, Chu Feng immediately moved and sent a half-high pass.

I’m looking for Big Brother B!
Recently, B Fei's habit of spreading his hands and sighing has been completely cured by Chu Feng.

Although he explained that this was a way of giving orders to his teammates.

But Chu Feng's answer was very simple.

You don't need to give orders.

It takes 23 days to develop a good habit. Brother B not only stopped shirking his hands, but also learned to encourage.

"nice shot!"

B Fei praised loudly, afraid that Chu Feng couldn't hear him.

After catching the ball, he faced a relatively open area.

He cooperated with the Egyptian political commissar who was running forward by playing against the wall, and then sprinted forward to receive the ball.

Salzburg Red Bull's defense was torn back and forth.

Just like a sapling in a storm, it is not far from being blown down.

"Pass the ball!"

Chu Feng seized the opportunity and ran diagonally into the penalty area, creating an excellent gap.

Big Brother B doesn’t want to spread it.

But he dared not not spread it.

no way.

Chu Feng has the highest tactical position in Manchester United, and everyone has to give in to him.

Thoughts dissipated in an instant.

Snapped! ! !
The football rolled towards that area.

Chu Feng suddenly stopped the dunk and shook off the defensive player who was chasing him.

Followed by.

Qikan predicted that Chu Feng was going to shoot into the far corner, so he moved to the left in advance.

But his response was to aim far and shoot close!

"Very beautiful!"

"The classic shot is aimed at the far corner and hits the near corner. This is the ability of a top center forward."

Wow! ! !
The Manchester United fans who travelled with the team on the journey also cheered loudly.

He scored twice before the end of the first half.

Is there a chance for consecutive hat tricks?

Not only the fans thought so, Chu Feng also developed a desire.

As the saying goes: A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a striker who doesn't want to score goals is not a good striker.

His desire for goals is the same as Mourinho's desire for victory.

not far away

Haaland sighed again.

If the previous goal was a reflection of personal ability.

So this time it is a reflection of basketball IQ.

Stretch the defence by moving wide and then running into the space created.

The final shot was also extremely calm.

Haaland felt as if he had a demon in his heart, and his good friend Soboslai quickly said: "If you can reach his level, you will win the Ballon d'Or."

Haaland thought so.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United was two goals ahead and started to play steadily.

Manchester United's pace slowed down.

Salzburg Red Bull took advantage of the situation and attacked, showing the style of a dark horse.

"This kid is incredibly strong. I think he's as strong as Chu You!"

Maguire said, rubbing his shoulders.

From his experience during this period, although Haaland is ugly, he is really not weak.

Otherwise, he would not have been noticed by Dortmund.

Ma Datou felt tremendous pressure.

If Thiago hadn't assisted in the timely defense, the opponent would probably have scored a goal.

Salzburg Red Bull's rise directly led to a decrease in Manchester United's offensive intensity.

Considering the league and World Cup qualifiers in a few days, Mourinho chose a more conservative tactic to win the game.

Salzburg Red Bull wants to try to push forward with all their strength.

But Chu Feng in the backcourt was like a nail, standing in the place where they were most difficult to guard against.

There must be enough defensive players to mark each time.

When the 90-minute game ended, no goals were scored in injury time.

"Congratulations to Manchester United for winning the Champions League group stage, and congratulations to Chu for scoring two goals!"
