Chapter 364 Same situation, different ending(1/3)
At the beginning of the second half, the atmosphere at Old Trafford became even more strange.
Because Manchester United's absolute main player Stieler actually sat on the bench.
Substitution in the midfield!
Why?
Manchester United fans can't understand.
Even if he had a conflict with his teammates, Stile's performance on the court in the first half was fine. Without his involvement, Aveiro might not be able to be strong on the wing.
Should I change, shouldn't Mike Lorraine be replaced?
The Lord sat in his seat.
This is the high-level thinking.
Previously, Styler was given the opportunity, but on the one hand, Real Madrid had a tradition of weak air defense.
On the other hand, I hope that Styler can perform better and sell more money when he takes action.
But now that the news that Stile is leaving has been exposed and has seriously affected the team's harmony, Stile is no longer able to sell for the price.
There is no need to work hard for his data.
On the contrary, although McLorraine seems to have a greater emotional problem, in the Sir Alex plan, McLorraine is an indispensable thigh in the early stages of the new Manchester United.
It's the old horse who leads the team.
So it is important to appease McLorraine's emotions.
This is the world of adults.
Sometimes losing is a win, and winning is a loss.
The situation is changing all the time.
In the 67th minute, Qi Zuo dribbled the ball and easily passed Manchester United's midfield.
Although the Premier League is in great intensity, for players like Qi Zuo, he is more at ease with this rough defense.
In addition, Qi Zuo's ability to confrontation is actually very good, far from being as weak as everyone's stereotype of midfield masters.
Lu Yang stepped forward and asked for the ball at the same time, ready to shoot.
Alfa also pulled to the right, leaving room for Qi Zuo to shoot directly.
Qi Zuo broke into the penalty area, but passed it back and kicked the ball to Youyeo at the foot of Junior on the left side of the penalty area.
Junior fired with his left foot!
Missiles are coming!
Areola struggled to save.
But Junior's shot was a volley from the outside instep, and the football drew a curve and bypassed Areola's ten fingers.
Three to zero!
Real Madrid secured the victory!
This situation is already difficult for Manchester United to recover.
"Real Madrid's midfield is too strong!"
"Think about it, what is the level of a midfielder with Lu Yang and Qi Zuo! Not to mention that there are master players like ACTO and Colet to help them!"
"Real Madrid's midfield is really too luxurious! Most teams should be the core of the midfield when Ector and Coleter go to, but they can only be a small worker in Real Madrid."
"In contrast, Manchester United's midfield cannot impose any restrictions on Real Madrid, which is also the reason why Real Madrid is getting more and more active today!"
Perhaps many people don’t understand the saying that football is actually a game of midfield competition.
Not even recognized at all.
But in reality, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals two days ago was actually very telling.
Manchester City took the initiative throughout the game, and the advantage ran from beginning to end.
However, Real Madrid did not collapse and finally got a three-to-four score, which should not be underestimated.
The root cause is that even in a disadvantaged situation or a passive situation, Real Madrid has not given up on the competition for the midfield.
The most typical example is when Manchester City controls the ball and suppresses Real Madrid's halftime, players who take the lead in defense will take the initiative to seek steals.
This is completely opposite to when Manchester United faced Manchester City this season.
Manchester United also took the position to defend, retracting back to the front of the penalty area at halftime or even at the front of the penalty area.
But when Manchester United landed, they were really waiting for Manchester City to attack, without the sudden jump and pressure in defense like Real Madrid.
This is the important reason why Manchester United collapsed and Real Madrid are indomitable.
When a player is not under pressure, he can perform at 200%.
Passing, straight pass, over-top long pass, pick-through, out-of-pole, fancy dribbling... you can play your best.
However, when the players are under pressure, it is difficult to do the above-mentioned moves when the opponent rushes to grab and exert pressure.
At least it is difficult for ordinary players to make it.
This is also why Manchester United players look so clumsy, because they cannot solve the snatch and pressure from Manchester City.
On the contrary, this is also the reason why Manchester City players feel so good.
Because you play football at Manchester City, your opponents dare not or give up pressing you most of the time, and you will have room to make full use of your own.
Back to the game.
The Manchester United midfielder opposite Lu Yang also has no habit of suddenly robbing in the place defense or tactical arrangement.
The robbery requires tactical arrangements. If a person robbery comes, there will only be one situation, that is, the scene where Barcelona fans are talking about Ronaldo.
Of course, this scene later became the best interpretation of Cristiano Ronaldo's fighting spirit.
Some teams' forward line can always make all kinds of goalkeepers' own goals, which is not only the credit of a certain player, but has a lot to do with the overall pressing of the forward line.
Lu Yang's previous steal of Areola's ball was reflected in his personal ability and wisdom, but also the cooperation of Alpha and ACTO.
In the 70th minute, Enriques replaced Alpha.
Manchester United also replaced two midfielders except Barella, trying to allow the physically fit midfielders to launch new presses and rewrite the score.
But this approach is futile.
As mentioned above, pressing is not just a matter of one or two people, nor is it just a matter of physical strength.
The effect of rough pressing without planning and planned pressing is very different.
In the 73rd minute, Enriquez took a direct pass from Colet to attack Manchester United's defense.
Manchester United centre-back Turan knocked down Enriques and received a yellow card.
Then Cizzo's free kick off the attack was taken off by Areola.
In the 77th minute, Ravelan knocked down Aveiro who was attacking the wing and received a yellow card.
Cheroti then replaced Ravelan with Tavarez and emphasized to Tavarez several times. As long as he stopped Avero, he could do anything, even if he was a card!
Tavarez did not give Aveiro a good fruit, so he joined forces with Sanchis, and Rubio's replacement, successfully freezing Aveiro.
However, Michael Lorraine, who became center, was suffering from his teammates' ability to pass high-altitude balls and was unable to compete with Rondene.
During this period, Rondene competed for the top of the high-altitude ball six times.
All succeeded!
As far as high altitude ball is concerned, Mike Lorraine's threat is far less than Styler.
The eighty-fifth minute.
Junior advanced on the side road and then crossed Qi Zuo.
Qi Zuo turned around and shot quickly without looking at the person.
Areola knew something was wrong at the first time.
This is Moric's best pass method.
It is also Lu Yang’s favorite way of passing the ball!
After seeing again, Lu Yang had already entered the penalty area and there were no defenders around him.
Everyone was half a beat slower than Lu Yang.
Areola attacked decisively and tried to destroy the ball in advance.
But Lu Yang, as if he knew Areora would definitely attack, he actually jumped early.
Bang!
The football was pushed by Lu Yang.
Because Lu Yang's jumping position was too forward and the football flew very high, he just barely pushed up, but he couldn't exert force.
The football bounced slightly, crossed Areola, and slowly fell into the goal.
Heading the ball and shooting!
Areola closed her eyes in despair.
Being guessed.
All his habits were guessed by Lu Yang.
Although he also guessed Lu Yang's habits, the difference is that in recent years... Lu Yang's changes have been too big.
The speed is faster, the jump is higher, and the header is more accurate.
And what about Areola?
Although there have been progress, compared with Lu Yang, it is like standing still.
To be continued...
