Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 862 Iron Bucket Formation

On May 5nd, at 2:45 pm local time in the UK, two hours and [-] minutes before the start of the match, Manchester City was already deserted. There were huge posters of superstars such as Rooney and Murphy everywhere on both sides of the street. Railway stations, subway stations, The airport... was full of fans on the way to Old Trafford.

The confrontation between the two top giants in today's football is related to the final qualification of the UEFA Champions League. This strong dialogue naturally attracted countless fans to come to the pilgrimage.

With more than an hour before the start of the game, the Old Trafford Stadium, which can accommodate more than 6000 people, is already full of fans. The entire stadium is red and blue (the Manchester United home jersey is red, the away jersey is blue, It seems that there is also black, but it seems that it is not used now), the white of Real Madrid fans is like the occasional small waves in the sea, almost negligible.

"Glory to Manchester United

Glory to Manchester United
The Red Army marches forward
Just like the old "Busby kids' kids"

I'm gonna let the Red Devils flag fly high
you'll see it everywhere
You'll hear people singing proudly:
Manchester United!Manchester United!
We are the boys in red, we are on our way to Wembley!

Wembley!Wembley!
We are great Manchester United and we are on our way to Wembley!

Docherty, 77, said this
When Atkinson was 83, he also believed
all human beings know who we are
All will sing a song "Queen's Blood"

Manchester United!Manchester United! "

The majestic singing of nearly [-] Manchester United fans was full of momentum in the majestic Old Trafford Stadium, as if thousands of troops were roaring and galloping.

Such a majestic scene will create the most favorable home atmosphere for the Red Devils Manchester United. In many cases, the home fans are the team's 12th man on the pitch, and the momentum created by the Manchester United fans fully demonstrates this.Real Madrid not only have to accept the strong challenge of the Premier League hegemony on the court, but also endure the "pressure" brought to them by this stadium at any time.

Three and ten minutes before the game, the Real Madrid players came out to warm up. They thought they had adapted to the grand atmosphere of Old Trafford, but when nearly 10 fans roared in unison, everyone was still a little dazed. Young players like Shaheen and Canales even have weak legs.

However, after 10 minutes, the Real Madrid players got used to the atmosphere on the scene. After all, Real Madrid is also a century-old giant. The mentality of the players became calmer, and the actions they made were much more relaxed.

The Real Madrid fans who bought the live tickets desperately wanted to give some support to their players amid the boos of the Manchester United fans, but in the wave of Manchester United fans, the voices of nearly [-] Real Madrid fans seemed so insignificant, as small as Their voices could not be heard at all, and their movements looked like they were performing a ridiculous pantomime.

Manchester United's home commentator Sweet Gordon and British BBC television guest commentator John Mortensen are introducing the starting lineups of both sides of the game to fans all over the world.

"Compared with the first round in this game, Manchester United's lineup has strengthened a lot. Rooney and Ferdinand have both returned from injury, which greatly strengthened the home team's offensive and defensive capabilities, and the return of Japanese core Shinji Kagawa also allowed Manchester United to Have the capital to compete with Real Madrid.

弗格森爵士在这场比赛中排出的是442阵型，守门员是1——赫德亚；四个后卫是21——拉斐尔、5——费迪南德、15——维迪奇、3——埃弗拉；四个中场分别是卡里克、17——纳尼、18、阿什利.扬、26——香川真司；两名前锋分别是10——鲁尼以及20——范佩西。”

Gordon continued to comment on the home team's starting lineup: "This is the strongest lineup that Sir Alex Ferguson can come up with. Generally speaking, this is a very aggressive lineup. The attacking group in the frontcourt must be able to play here. In the game, they caused huge troubles for the away team Real Madrid. In the first round, Manchester United lost by one goal. In this game, Manchester United must attack. As long as they can break the opponent's goal, then Manchester United's road to promotion will be smoother!"

However, his partner, the special guest of the game, Mortensen of BBC TV, has a different opinion: "Real Madrid's starting lineup is also extremely strong, with superstars in the team, and Kaka's timely comeback also increased their interest in this game. Confidence in winning the game. To be honest, although I am British, I have to admit that this Real Madrid team is indeed extremely strong. More importantly, they have a talented star like Mo in their lineup. I think his No one in the UK would know how amazing it is. If Manchester United wants to win the game and qualify, they must first defeat Mo. But this is very difficult. Everyone knows that Mo's fighting spirit is even more commendable besides his excellent football skills. This is a player whose nerves are as tough as steel. No matter what difficulties he faces, he will try his best to fight until the last moment..."

When Mortensen hadn't started to introduce Real Madrid's starting lineup, there was an earth-shattering booing at the scene, and it turned out that Real Madrid's players appeared.The huge noise made it impossible for the fans on the TV to hear who the commentator was reporting. Only from the subtitles, we can see who the starting 11 players of Real Madrid are.

“皇家马德里的首发门将是1——卡西利亚斯；四个后卫是4——拉莫斯、3——佩佩、18——阿尔比奥尔、17——阿贝罗阿；五个中场是6——赫迪拉、24——拉斯.迪亚拉、19——沙欣、8——卡卡、10——莫；单箭头是7——C.罗纳尔多。

As soon as Real Madrid's starting lineup came out, the boos and shouts at the scene more than doubled again.With this starting lineup, even a fool can understand that Mourinho is going to do his own business. Real Madrid is going to play a defensive counterattack in the away game. The total score was one goal behind and had to attack, while Real Madrid counterattacked comfortably. This feeling of being led by the nose by the opponent is not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

When exchanging the team flag and emblem and picking sides, Casillas braved the boos and curses, shook hands with Manchester United captain Evra in a generous manner and carried out a series of established procedures. There was no expression on his face. A little timid, it seems that the boos of nearly 8 people at Old Trafford did not affect him in the slightest.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Mourinho explained to all the players before the game that what they want is victory and tickets to the final, not to entangle and bite the opponent here. It is an idiot to have an advantage and not play a defensive counterattack talented things.Moreover, this is also treating others in their own way. Manchester United has carried forward the iron barrel tactics to the fullest at the Bernabeu. It has never heard of the truth that "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps".

Under the guidance of the head coach, the Real Madrid players also took it for granted to play defensive counterattacks. They have no psychological burden and can defeat a powerful enemy with minimal strength. Why should they refuse?They are not afraid of others talking behind their backs. Only the winners are qualified to speak. As long as they win, no one will say that their football is ugly. Others will only remember reaching the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League final It's Real Madrid, not losers Manchester United.

After the game started, Real Madrid proved their tactical tone in this game with practical actions. Except for a quick attack at the beginning, Real Madrid seemed to have no intention of attacking at all. Manchester United's counterattack.

Sir Ferguson kept chewing gum in his mouth, and there was no surprise on his ruddy face.He has confronted Mourinho for many years, and he knows better than anyone what kind of person the opponent is. Mourinho is a madman who can do anything to win.If he can win, he doesn't mind turning all 11 of the team into defenders, he doesn't care what others say about him behind his back.

In fact, before the game, Ferguson also thought that Real Madrid might adopt defensive and counterattack tactics, but Real Madrid has been playing beautiful offensive football in the past season, and Real Madrid's offensive desire is very strong in the first round at the Bernabéu Stadium. They all confuse the famous Scottish coach. He thinks that Mourinho's team will not be too conservative. After all, the outside world now regards this game as the pinnacle matchup in world football, and after the first round The team is facing tremendous pressure from the outside world. Even if Mourinho is conservative and has no new ideas, he will show some face and let Real Madrid pull out to fight Manchester United.Moreover, Real Madrid was aggressive before the game, and it looked like they were going to use offensive attacks to defeat Manchester United.

Both offense and defense are possible, but when the facts were in front of him, Sir Alex Ferguson was still very upset. Mourinho really went too far, putting up a 451 formation, with only one old Manchester United in front With Ronaldo, Kaka and Murphy shrinking back very much, this is a veritable iron barrel formation, which is simply showing their intention to play defensive counterattacks nakedly in front of Manchester United.

It's like a prostitution worker who strips his whole body naked and keeps scratching his head at you. When you take off your pants and want to rush up to have a hard time, you find that this "slut" is hiding in the prison. You I just want to go in, but I don't have a key.He could only stare helplessly.

"What a fucking bastard." Ferguson cursed secretly in his heart.

But for Manchester United, no matter what formation the opponent plays, whether they are willing or not, they can only attack, because they are one goal behind, and if they want to not be suffocated by the opponent in this way, then they have nothing to do. The only option is to attack.
