Football: Refuse To Give Red Envelopes, And Reward Full-Level Predictions!

Chapter Thirty-Three, The Brain of the Team

"Guys, I'm afraid we need to step up our offense in the second half"

No one reacted when Ferguson said this.

Although Manchester United led 1-0, the total score of the two rounds was 2-2.

Ajax have two away goals, while United now have one.

Therefore, if Manchester United wants to eliminate Ajax and enter the Europa League round of 16, they must score at least one goal.

It is not surprising that the offense strengthened in the second half of the game.

What stunned the Manchester United players was Ferguson's next sentence.

"Lee, the second half of the game...you don't need to be fixed in the defensive position anymore. You can move as you want."

Ferguson's voice fell.

The Manchester United players in the dressing room stared and opened their mouths in disbelief, like statues.

They looked at Ferguson, then at Li Ao.

Sir Laikes Ferguson.

Did he say that sentence just now?

To know.

What Ferguson emphasized most was tactical discipline.

Back then, when Beckham and others were a little slack, they were directly served by the hair dryer.

Li Ao was taken aback.

Ferguson stared at him and continued: "I only have one request. On the basis of maintaining the defensive contribution in the first half, I want to see your contribution to the offense!"

Ferguson is betting.

Bet on the outcome of a Europa League.

Just a Europa League match.

He can afford it.

What Ferguson wanted to see.

It is Li Ao's true strength! !

And the way to stimulate Li Ao's strength.

It is to increase the responsibilities on the field for him!

As it is now.

"You can move and pass the ball the way you want on the pitch."

then.

He turned to look at the other players.

"In the second half of the game... you run with him as the core! When he beckons for the ball... boldly pass it to him!"

Ferguson's words made the players present look at each other in blank dismay.

Core treatment.

At the age of seventeen, he made his debut for the first time, and he was directly given the core treatment.

This is too exaggerated, right?

But Ferguson has always been one-sided in the Manchester United dressing room.

Not to mention the current group of Manchester United players who are usually substitutes.

Even big players like Scholes and Giggs.

I dare not question Ferguson's decision.

Since Ferguson wants them to play like this.

Then they can only play like this.

Although everyone was muttering in their hearts.

He also looked at Li Ao with some doubts.

this kid.

Where did he get the favor of the head coach?

 …

Fifteen minutes of intermission passed quickly.

Li Ao returned to the field with his teammates.

The Cruyff Stadium is still full of people.

Cheers, boos.

All kinds of voices are intertwined.

Arranged into the most passionate symphony.

Li Ao was excited.

he knows.

Ferguson must have seen something.

He deserves to be the top coach who has trained two generations of Red Devils.

He saw that he was comfortable on defense, and he also saw his potential on the offensive end.

This is for Li Ao.

But it is an absolute good opportunity.

He wants to use the performance of this game to completely conquer Ferguson.

tell him.

He definitely has the strength to play the main force in the first team! !

beat Ajax.

As the core of the midfielder, he led Manchester United to the last sixteen of the Europa League.

It is Li Ao's stepping stone! !

 …

Second half of the game.

Ajax continued their total football tactics.

A tight distance is maintained between their three lines.

Press the Manchester United players with a team press.

This collective oppression is getting older and more recognized by coaches, and many teams are starting to move in this direction.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United also began to attack more.

In the process.

Li Ao's role has changed.

He is constantly running in the midfield.

catch the ball.

pass the ball.

Facing Ajax's collective pressing.

Li Ao is like a dog trying to solve a cow, always finding an open spot to catch the ball.

Martin Jol stood on the sidelines, frowning.

A few minutes later, he suddenly turned his head and said to the assistant next to him.

"Did you see it?"

"what?"

The assistant frowned slightly.

"Their No. 39, that lad named Li Ao, he had a lot of touches in the second half.....and he almost never lost the ball!"

"This shows what?"

"This shows... this kid is not only good on the defensive end!"

Martin Jol frowned.

In the second half, Manchester United's possession rate came up all of a sudden.

And that's the key.

It's the little guy named Li Ao!

.....

Ferguson was pleased with Li Ao's minutes.

He can find gaps, pick ups, pass the ball.

Although Li Ao's handling is very unpretentious.

He basically can't carry the ball by himself, and he won't let the football stay under his feet.

Every time the ball is passed very quickly.

However.

Such a quick shot looks simple, but it is actually prone to mistakes.

But Li Ao hasn't made any mistakes until now in the second half of the game.

What does this mean?

This shows that he is fully prepared before every move, catch, and pass.

Before he catches the ball, he has already thought about how he will catch the ball and in which direction to pass the ball.

After a few minutes of familiarization.

Li Ao's pass even started to guide his own teammate's movement.

He sometimes gives some lead to let his teammates run up.

And he will not stop in place after passing the ball, but run to the next gap.

This makes it difficult for Ajax players to defend him.

Ten minutes into the second half.

After Ajax's frontcourt pressing failed for a while.

They simply backed off.

Build up the defense in your own half.

Don't you pass the ball steadily?

pass it on

Passed to the end of time.

If you don't attack, you will still be eliminated! !

Ferguson stood on the sidelines and never took his eyes off Li Ao.

He has no instructions.

He just wanted to see it.

Facing the current situation.

Li Ao.

What choice will he make?

"Need a replacement?"

McPhelan asked.

The team needs to score goals.

Need to attack.

Ferguson shook his head, and then said: "I want to see how much this brain on the court can do!!"

The Brain of the Stadium...

McPhelan looks at Li Ao, who is wearing the No. 39 jersey.

His face also became serious.

To say that the last time Ferguson had such patience and attention to a player.

That was seven or eight years ago...

The boy who was brought to England from Portugal.

Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ferguson seemed to know what McFerlane was thinking.

"This is a test for him. If he can complete this test paper perfectly, he will be the next player at the level of Chris."

Ferguson said.

"Even he can become a more important player than Cristiano Ronaldo."

"If Chris is the hard fist of the team. Then... Li Ao, has the potential to be the brain of a team!"

fist.

It's not as important as the brain anyway.
