739 Ferguson's Ultimate Move
739 Ferguson's killing move
Although the whole process is very complicated, from Macon to David Silva to Kaka to Macon, the whole process seems to be very tedious. If Villa and Ronaldo's off-ball runs support and attract defensive attention, it will make countless people feel a headache. The latest chapter of the Church
But in fact, all this happened in an instant. After Real Madrid suddenly accelerated from Maicon, the overall rhythm of the team and the players' individual balls also increased. Everyone almost relied on their first reaction to cooperate without any hesitation, so they cooperated quickly and felt a little dazzled.
But everyone could see clearly Maikon's sudden shot at the front of the penalty area.
This shot was very powerful, with a straight angle and a straight route, without any ingenuity, because Maicon chose the most secure and confident way to kick, which also means that the Brazilian full-back is actually a little nervous, after all, the opportunity is too good.
No one defended or stopped the ball, and the ball went from behind Ferdinand into the lower left corner of Manchester United's goal. Although Van der Sar realized that he wanted to save, his body was not as good as a young man after all. His brain reacted, but his body still needed some response time. When he could save, the ball had already entered.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"
"In the 21st minute, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking Manchester United's goal in the 21st minute!"
"Douglas Macon, right-back from Brazil, scored the first goal for Real Madrid!!"
Amid the shouts of the commentator on the scene, Maikon rushed to the corner flagpole excitedly, and under the stands of Real Madrid fans, clenched his fists and roared excitedly, venting his excitement. Behind him, Real Madrid players chased after him desperately and hugged him tightly.
"Real Madrid's cooperation is so beautiful, dazzling and dazzling. It has both exquisite personal skills and tacit team cooperation. The overall speed is very fast, which makes Manchester United come in as soon as they reacted!"
Ferguson didn't look too big. He was still sitting on the home team's coach's seat chewing gum, but after scoring the goal, he poked his head out and subconsciously glanced at the visiting team's coach's seat. Yang Cheng just clenched his fists to celebrate, and just turned his head to look at Ferguson, showing an abominable smile.
"Damn it!" Ferguson cursed angrily, and even felt that the chewing gum in his mouth was simply tasteless and boring, so he spit out in one sip.
His idea is right, but the problem is that his players are quite different from Real Madrid overall, especially in the midfield. In such a game where real swords and guns are used, Manchester United's midfield will make them suffer a lot.
But after thinking about it carefully, Ferguson also felt that he was responsible.
According to his thoughts before the game, he still had to fight back in this game, attack after the game, and strive to suppress Real Madrid, at least not let them control the game as they wished. Bayern Munich's biggest mistake was that he gave Real Madrid too much freedom and allowed them to control the game, so he lost a crushing defeat.
But it is obvious that Ferguson is not sensitive enough to adjust Yang Cheng. Although he realized Ronaldo's threat on the left, he did not give David Silva enough to move closer to the middle on the right. Unfortunately, he scored a goal after the first time he hit Evra.
This is how football matches are. Every goal is full of accidents, but there is also necessity!
There is another very important reason. In fact, many people don’t pay attention to it, that is, players’ adaptation to the league. (《》)
La Liga is the most popular league with the most fast-acting style of playing. Even if it is defense, it is the kind of small fast-acting style of playing. It is difficult for rough players to gain a foothold in La Liga, but the Premier League is the extensive style of playing that generally emphasizes high confrontation and fast-paced. It does not mean that the Premier League does not pay attention to technology, but is relatively extensive compared to La Liga.
La Liga players who have adapted to the small and quick-acting style of playing often have to pull out a lot of movement frequency when facing more extensive Premier League players, especially tall and strong defenders.
In other words, defensive players cannot keep up with the pace and rhythm of the attacker!
Although Evra was able to defend David Silva one-on-one, Brown and Ferdinand were obviously slower in the pace when facing David Silva and Kaka.
If you use your naked eyes, it may be difficult to see where the slowness is, but it is just a feeling. He is a little slower, maybe only half a beat or even one tenth of the beat, but it is slower and passive.
So many people say that Yang Cheng is the king of the cup because he is very smart and good at controlling the situation and rhythm of the game. When playing in La Liga in the Premier League, he will drag the rhythm into the extensive and fast-paced offense and defense of the Premier League as much as possible. No matter how good your La Liga team is, once you always play in a fast-paced transition, you are not as good as the Premier League!
But now, when he uses La Liga to play the Premier League, he is slow at the beginning, stabilized first, and then slowly dragged the rhythm into the small and fast-spirited style of local confrontation that La Liga is good at, because La Liga has advantages in this regard.
Under Real Madrid's tactical style, Ferdinand, Brown, O'Shea, Fletcher and others all seem so bulky and slow, but players like Evra, who have a small and quick-spirited style of play, adapt better.
Another way to deal with Real Madrid's tactical style is to learn from Mourinho.
After Chelsea eliminated Real Madrid last year, Yang Cheng once made fun of Mourinho's tactics as shameless, because he simply shrank 32 meters directly. I don't want anything. I just need to stand the formation well, everyone concentrates and devotes himself to defense, I defend and don't want anything else!
Under this shameless tactic, Mourinho won and Yang Cheng lost!
Ferguson himself knew very well that Mourinho's tactics were still effective for Real Madrid, but he was unwilling to do so. He hoped to kill Real Madrid through tactics.
But now it seems that his start is in place, but Yang Cheng has too many back-ups, so he can't stand it.
However, although Real Madrid took one goal to lead, Yang Cheng was not greedy for merit and made a rash move. He still controlled the team steadily, signaling to take it slowly, first control the initiative and rhythm of the game in his own hands, and then slowly press on.
Although Ferguson was extremely unhappy, he still had to face the reality that Manchester United's position was indeed retreating step by step. If he did not retreat, Bayern Munich's tragedy would happen to him, which was unacceptable.
Once it shrinks, Real Madrid's initiative advantage is even more obvious.
However, Manchester United's overall strength is a fraction higher than Bayern. Real Madrid can't deal with Manchester United as easily as Bayern Munich, especially if they have to defend against Ferguson, so although Real Madrid has controlled its advantages, they don't create many threats.
The most threatening thing is that from the 38th minute, Real Madrid once again scored a defensive loophole in Manchester United. Ronaldo forced his way through Osheim on the left and cut inside, passing the ball to the middle, Villa inserted a close-range shot, but Van der Sar saved the ball steadily.
After the Dutch goalkeeper got up from the ground, he was very dissatisfied with the team's defense. He believed that whether it was Ferdinand or Brown, he should watch Villa and Kaka as soon as possible, but the central defenders gave Real Madrid forwards too many opportunities.
But the central defender also has difficulties because Real Madrid's offense is too erratic.
Villa is not a regular center. He often pulls out of the penalty area to retrace the ball, and often pulls to the side to get the ball for breakthroughs. He also occasionally runs out of the room to create opportunities for his teammates to get it in. So sometimes you can't figure out what he is going to do. Moreover, he is fast and flexible, and there is no problem running around, but Ferdinand and Brown are tall and strong. Once you run more, your physical energy will be consumed and you can't keep up.
The same is true for Kaka’s problem!
This is Ferguson's difficulty. He adapted to the Premier League atmosphere of strong confrontation and hard bridges. When encountering Real Madrid with this delicate style of playing, Manchester United's defensive players suffered a lot, especially when the rhythm was controlled by Real Madrid.
But although Real Madrid had a round of offensive frenzy before the end of the first half, they failed to break through Manchester United's goal again and ended up having to enter the midfield with a score of 0:1.
…………
…………
"You guys did a great job in the first half, guys!"
As soon as he entered the locker room, Yang Cheng directly praised the players' performance. Although he only took the lead 0:1 in the first half, Real Madrid's overall performance was excellent and his ability to control the entire game was very good. Although Manchester United tried hard to resist, they could never find a way.
In football matches, the scores can never completely reflect the advantages of the scene. Sometimes you lead by big scores, but the process may be very dangerous. Sometimes you are obviously leading by 1 point, but you give people the feeling that you have the advantage.
In the whole first half, except for Tevez's shot at the beginning that Casillas was off and Rooney's supplementary shot was stabbed by Thiago Silva, there was no threat at all. On the contrary, Real Madrid dismantled Manchester United's moves time and time again, and the advantage was very obvious.
"Tiago, how do you feel?" Yang Cheng was more concerned about Thiago Silva's injury.
Chris told him that the injury seemed to be fine, but he was hit hard, and it was certain that he was injured, especially whether the muscles in the calf would be damaged. This requires a test, but Thiago Silva felt that it was okay and could continue the game, so Yang Cheng continued to let him play.
"It feels good, boss!" Thiago Silva performed well and was in a good mood, and nodded with a smile.
"That's good!" Yang Cheng was relieved, but after he went back, he would definitely ask Chris to conduct a comprehensive inspection of Thiago Silva. After all, many players were injured in the game, but they didn't feel it, so they would wait until they suddenly came out in the future and cause irreparable losses.
Yang Cheng is always very careful in this regard, because he knows that injuries are the enemy of any team.
"Our tactics in the first half were very effective. We played very well on both sides of Manchester United, but this was far from enough. Manchester United will definitely make adjustments during the break. We will not give us that much freedom in the second half, and we will also make adjustments."
Speaking of this, Yang Cheng looked at Kaka, "Ricardo, in the second half, you will be on the right side, cut from the rib to the right, and hit behind Evra!"
Kaka nodded. His advantage over David Silva is speed and breakthrough ability. David Silva looks more like an organizer and passer, but Kaka's breakthrough ability, especially speed, will be more threatening than Espanyol.
"David!" Yang Cheng pointed at David Silva, "Retreat a little, lean on the middle, support more, understand what I mean?"
David Silva nodded. He knew what Yang Cheng meant was that he was responsible for connecting the two midfielders and the frontcourt offensive players behind him, so that Kaka and Ronaldo could form breakthroughs and threats on both sides and beat Manchester United's two sides.
"Villa!" Yang Cheng looked at David Villa, "You retreat more in the second half, avoid two wings, pull out of the penalty area, keep a certain distance from Kaka and Silva, avoid the real and do not be more desperate with them!"
Villa nodded in agreement.
"Villa can participate more in the midfield outside the penalty area, and even retreat a little deeper. If the opponent's two central defenders follow, Cristiano and Kaka will hit them behind them, and Villa also waits for an opportunity to run forward and then return to the penalty area!"
These three players have extremely fast speed advantages and strong personal abilities. With the strength of the three of them, once they rush in, the threat is really extraordinary. It is difficult for Manchester United to stop it, especially outside the penalty area, there is also David Silva who is good at passing and penetrating the ball.
Almost all Premier League defenders have one characteristic: strong frontal defense ability, tall figure, and obvious defense advantage. Therefore, Real Madrid cannot play this tactic with Manchester United, avoid their defensive strengths, run back and infiltrate on the ground, and fight against their slow turn and lack of flexibility.
"If no one follows Manchester United's double central defender, it doesn't matter, we're here..." Yang Cheng drew Manchester United's 433 tactics, and then drew a horizontal line between the defense line and the midfield, "...strang them to death!"
It may be difficult to understand. To put it simply, the number of players in the midfield was similar, one to one, which is considered a equilibrium state. But if Villa retreats out of the penalty area and participates in the midfield activities, it will break the equilibrium of numbers and Real Madrid will have an advantage. In this case, Manchester United will be very passive in both offense and defense.
Just imagine, once Ferdinand gets the ball, he dare not press too much, which leads to a little further distance between him and the midfielder, and there is a Real Madrid player blocking him. In this case, where will he pass?
There is no doubt that in an instant, the first reaction was what English players were best at, long passes and rushes!
The result of choking the connection between the defense line and the midfield is Manchester United's disconnection between the middle and rear.
The current situation is beneficial to Real Madrid, because Real Madrid has steadily suppressed Manchester United, so what Yang Cheng has to consider now is not to give Manchester United a chance to breathe, so that he cannot play his own characteristics and advantages. In turn, he can play his own characteristics and advantages so that he can win this game!
To be honest, the Premier League is now strong, and there is nothing to say, but after all, the Premier League cannot be compared with La Liga, whether in terms of the overall technical and tactical details of the team or the players' personal technical skills, and in many cases, even Serie A is not even comparable.
The image point is that the gap between the technical foundations of the Premier League and Serie A and La Liga is a bit like Gerald and Kaka, Ronaldinho, Carrick and Pirlo, and Xavi. Such a gap does not seem obvious in many cases, but in fact, it really exists.
Of course, Arsenal is an alternative and does not count.
However, the Premier League is indeed changing in this direction now, but it still takes a long time to make up for it.
But Yang Cheng can also understand that each league has its own characteristics. The Premier League pursues technical details, but it must be based on his own environment. No matter how it changes, it cannot be the same as Serie A and La Liga. This is their unique characteristic style.
So after all, the battle for the Champions League is who can better play their own style and suppress the opponent's style.
It's like Real Madrid suppressing Manchester United in this game. If they can't suppress it, they will let Manchester United play crazy, their speed will increase and become a Premier League style, and then Real Madrid will lose the game very much.
That's why home court advantage is so important!
…………

Back to the game venue, Ferguson surprisingly did not make substitution adjustments.
Yang Cheng has all the advantages, and it is not surprising that he does not adjust, but Ferguson does not adjust either. It is obvious that he plans to stabilize the current situation first and then slowly find opportunities to counterattack.
In this case, he either doesn’t replace people, but he will be deadly if he replaces people!
Yang Cheng couldn't guess what Ferguson was thinking and how to adjust, but he knew that he had to continue to maintain his tactics and style of play in the first half and continue to suppress Manchester United.
Ferguson must have made adjustments, and Manchester United's three lines began to consciously retract, especially in the garrison of the two sides. Tevez and Park Ji-sung were more active in the defense of the wing, and even dared to retreat to the defense line to be a full-back, which was very determined.
Although there was no performance in the first half, Ferguson still left Scholes and Anderson in the midfield. No one knew what plan was to play. All Yang Cheng could do was to play his own tactics as well as possible and strive to win another goal.
Taking advantage of the kick-off, Real Madrid quickly followed the situation at the end of the first half, continued to maintain pressure on Manchester United's defense line, and also actively explored the front lines of the two sides. Kaka and Ronaldo created many opportunities on both sides, and Villa frequently pulled out of the penalty area, causing great trouble to Manchester United's defense.
As Yang Cheng said, Ferdinand and Brown were not the solution to Villa's retreat, and it was not a solution to follow. If they didn't follow, they were depressed. No matter how they did, they wouldn't have a good result, and they were very troublesome.
However, Manchester United put into defense in three lines, which was much more stable than in the first half. Real Madrid maintained offensive pressure after the opening and created several dangerous situations, but still failed to score.
However, judging from the situation, Real Madrid has obvious advantages. If it continues, it is very likely to score another goal. It is just a matter of time. Ferguson is obviously ready.
"Berbatov and Ashley Young are warming up, and it's time to change people!" Benitez reminded.
Yang Cheng also noticed that Ferguson's killer move was coming!
