Super Marshal
Chapter 803: War of attrition
For this brand new Wembley Stadium, Ferguson has always had a good impression.
Here last season, his team defeated Tottenham Hotspur and won the League Cup.
And this afternoon, his team will usher in a defending battle.
This time the opponent is no longer Tottenham Hotspur, but Manchester City coached by Alpine.
"Our opponents in this game are different from all previous opponents. They are more terrifying and more difficult. We must be fully psychologically prepared. This will be the most difficult game of the season."
"If we want to win, we have to work harder than usual."
In a conference room of the hotel where Manchester United stayed, Ferguson and Manchester United were having a morning tactical preparation meeting. Assistant coach Mike Perrin just explained to all the players the game strategy against Manchester City in detail, and Ferguson is following the usual practice. Carrying out the final summary before the game, unifying the team's thinking.
This is very important for Manchester United.
Only by unifying their thinking, can they clearly know what they should do when they get on the court.
"I believe I don't need to say more about the strength of Manchester City. Everyone knows that there will be no surprises in this game. I can guarantee that Alpine will still adopt the game he respects and is his best method. That is Possession and offense."
Manchester City this season is like a majestic mountain in front of all the Premier League teams, which is impressive.
Twenty consecutive victories not only continued the legendary history of Alpine, but also made Blue Moon a nightmare for all Premier League teams. You know, this team only got tenth in the league last season.
Looking around the world, besides the high cold, who else has this ability to turn decay into magic?
As for Manchester City’s investment of more than 400 million euros, it did play a role, but if there is no high cold, let alone their performance as well as they are now, I am afraid that it is hard to say whether the more than 400 million euros can be spent.
Since Gao Han has faced any team this season, no matter how his team rotates and adjusts, he has only one style of play, and that is pass control.
So far this season, Manchester City's data is quite amazing, averaging close to 70% of the pass control, which is simply an incredible stat, but even more frightening is that Manchester City played an amazing attack. And scoring ability.
According to the current efficiency, by the end of the season, there is no suspense that Manchester City has scored more than 100 goals this season, and may even exceed 110 goals, which will create a new record for the number of goals scored in a single season in the Premier League.
In addition to the team as a whole, Cristiano Ronaldo’s scoring efficiency is also quite amazing. It’s not an exaggeration to describe it as violent. Coupled with the help of Benzema, Sanchez and Kaka, Manchester City’s entire frontcourt. The offensive lineup is enough to be frightening.
In this game, Manchester City has no injuries and no illnesses. It is estimated that they will do their best to play the main team.
"Trust me, playing Manchester City, you absolutely can't retreat. If you retreat, you will only die faster and worse." Ferguson shouted in a very firm tone. "We must defend the midfield and follow them anyway. Fight, fight with them, you can't let them control the ball as they like."
"I don't care what method you use, as long as you don't get the card easily, as long as you don't get a red card, you can do everything you can to prevent them from possession of the ball."
What Ferguson's remarks meant, everyone in the room knew what it meant.
"Man City's possession of the ball is very oppressive, and their offense is also quite threatening. Many teams will inevitably have a retreat and safer mentality when facing their play style, but what I want to tell you is , Playing Manchester City, retreating will only make us die faster and worse."
"So, in this game, our midfielder, our frontcourt, we must be mentally prepared. No matter when or what the situation is, we must hold on to Manchester City and never take a step back."
Ferguson became more energetic as he spoke, and he became more powerful as he spoke.
Manchester United this season is really embarrassing, it can be said that it completely violated the strategy formulated by Ferguson before the season.
Ferguson said at the beginning of the season that Manchester United should strengthen the efficiency of scoring points in the strong dialogue, but as a result, in addition to Arsenal, Manchester United faced Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea. All the games were defeated, and there was no tie.
so much so that many fans have teased, Ferguson's Manchester United can only bully the little wife of Arsenal.
Ferguson is also very knowledgeable about the situation of his team, and he also knows where the problem lies.
Therefore, facing Manchester City in this game, he was also mentally prepared and arranged a four-three-two-one Christmas tree formation. The purpose was very clear. He was going to die with Gao Han.
…………
…………
At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, Wembley Stadium, the League Cup finals kicked off on time.
Ferguson had a four-three-two-one formation. The goalkeeper was Van der Sar, the defenders were Leighton Bynes, Pepe, Ferdinand and Gary Neville, and the three delayed midfielders were Matic and Card. Rick and Fletcher, the two frontcourt players are Tevez and Park Ji-sung, and the single forward is Rooney.
Giggs and Scholes, two of the most creative and offensive threats in the team, were both left on the bench by Ferguson, which also shed light on the attitude from the beginning.
The bayonet sees blood, slams dead!
Manchester City’s starting lineup is not surprising at all. In the absence of injuries and illnesses, Alpine is also the main force.
The goalkeeper is Cech, the defenders are Kompany, Xavi Martinez and Mascherano, the midfielder is Xavi Alonso, and the front is David Silva and Modri. Odd, Kaka is the front midfielder and Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez are the front trident.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City took the lead in launching the offensive and got a free kick in the first minute. When Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball, he was tripped by Gary Neville when he was about to start. On the ground.
David Silva took a free kick and crossed to the penalty area, but failed to create a threat.
The game restarted and Manchester United continued to strengthen the midfielder's oppression of Manchester City.
Ferguson’s lineup in this game was obviously to restrain Manchester City’s possession of the ball. Both Park Ji-sung and Tevez were relatively behind and kept their distance from Matic, Carrick and Fletcher. A five-man midfielder oppressive team specifically suppresses Manchester City's midfield possession, and the battlefield is focused on the center line.
Rooney was cruising alone in the frontcourt, patiently waiting for the opportunity, and at the same time forcing Manchester City's defense line. Ferdinand's defense line was also very targeted. While keeping the midfield tight, he also restrained Manchester City's defense. Trident.
Running and teamwork have always been Manchester United's specialties, and they showed a very high standard in the start of this game. In particular, Manchester United players fouled decisively in the game and never procrastinated. Although Manchester City was in control. The ball has an advantage, but it is difficult to organize an effective offensive.
Even the first threatening shot of the game occurred in the twelfth minute. After receiving Modric's pass, Sanchez got rid of Leighton Bynes and broke through the right wing, but the ball was in the pass. Hit Pepe's feet and bounced out of the restricted area. Benzema followed up with a push shot, and finally wiped the post to get out of the bottom line.
But soon, Manchester United stabilized again.
…………
…………
Gao Han stood on the sidelines, his eyes staring at the situation on the field like electricity. He knew Ferguson's wishful thinking, but he knew better how Manchester City should win the game.
There are two ways to win on the football field, first serve or first serve.
The former is usually a strong team and can get the initiative in the game, while the latter is often more passive, first establish yourself undefeated, and then wait for the opponent to make mistakes.
Manchester City now undoubtedly belong to the former, so the angle of Alpine's consideration is how to better play to its own advantages, and then to break through the opponent's defense line and defeat the opponent.
Manchester United's targeted tactics in this game is to contain City's possession of the ball, make Manchester City anxious and chaotic, they then take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
So, Gao Han quickly walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly at the players on the court, signaling Harvey Alonso to stabilize the team.
"Don't worry, control the ball, control the rhythm, and be patient. The game has just begun and the situation is in our favor."
Gao Han shouted without any scruples, and it naturally reached Ferguson's ears on the other side of the coaching area.
In fact, Gao Han simply called it to him on purpose, and Ferguson knew it.
Teams that use pass-and-control play tend to have more advantages in terms of physical energy consumption, while a play like Manchester United may be able to hold it in the first half, but once physical energy is exhausted to a certain level, it simply cannot hold it. scene.
On the court, as the captain of Manchester City, Harvey Alonso also loudly conveyed the meaning of the coach to his teammates around him. He was very calm and knew the situation on the field well. He knew that he could not be too hasty now, so soon, David Silva, Modric and Kaka all started to cooperate with Harvey Alonso, trying to control the ball first.
But Manchester United is not a fuel-efficient light. The Red Devils players seem to be full of energy, chasing the ball, not allowing Manchester City to easily control the ball.
But the look on Ferguson's face on the sidelines did not relax at all, because he knew Gao Han's plan.
Fight the war of attrition.
This is also what Gao Han is best at. By passing the ball and using the pass to consume the opponent's physical energy ~ www.readwn.com ~ When the consumption reaches a certain level, it is when they start to exert their strength.
The game time passed quickly, the two sides competed fiercely, the ball changed hands back and forth, and the pace was fast.
Manchester City has the advantage in possession of the ball, but has never been able to organize an effective offensive. Often the ball advanced to Manchester United's half, and was soon forced to pass back to the team. Manchester United was in a worse situation and could only blindly pass the press. Repress to contain Manchester City's offensive and transmission control, or use foul tactics to stifle danger in the bud.
Fortunately, the referee of this game was soft on his whistle.
Ferguson said secretly in his heart.
If the referee were to hold the whistle harder, then Manchester United would have already won the card.
Of course, on the other hand, if the referee is **** the whistle, the Manchester United players will definitely be able to moderate their actions.
are all professional players. Everyone knows clearly how to control the action within the tolerance of the referee.
But with the passage of the game, in the fast-paced offensive and defensive battles, the consumption of Manchester United players is indeed not small, especially when Manchester City has torn the defensive loopholes through multiple passes, in order to ensure the solid midfielder. , Manchester United had to retreat again and again.
Ferguson watched anxiously from the sidelines and kept shouting at the players, indicating that they could not retreat, but it was still to no avail.
