Chapter 181 Cruyff turns around
Chapter 181 Cruyff Turns
Tiger is grateful that the head coach he met was not Mancini, but Ferguson.
In this case, Ferguson first reached out and pulled McLaren down, then turned around and said to Tiger in a low voice: "Teger, go warm up and prepare to play."
Then everyone on the bench saw Tiger nodding silently, then took off his coat he was wearing outside, and walked out of the bench. In the process, he didn't even look at McLaren.
McLaren glanced at Ferguson in annoyedly, meaning: sir, look at this kid, he doesn't respect me at all!
Ferguson patted his back, sootheed him, and asked softly: "I asked you to tell Tiger that he was the substitute because of tactical needs. What did you say?"
McLaren was stunned for a moment: "I just told him that he would serve as a substitute in the next game..."
As soon as he said this, Ferguson sighed silently. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No wonder he had such a reaction... Steven, as a coach, it is not necessary to keep a mystery in front of the players, so he has to understand why he was arranged like this... No wonder he was so angry. You and I are both players. If you scored seven goals in seven games but were placed on the bench for no reason, what would you think?"
McLaren was stunned.
"Of course, his approach is very disrespectful... I will impose internal punishment on him next, but this matter... should not be expanded." Ferguson said at last.
McLaren could only nod, and he also realized his mistake. Although he was still unhappy with Tiger's attitude towards him, McLaren knew that he was a newcomer after all...
Tiger was doing a warm-up seriously, and his actions just now became very popular. Fortunately, Ferguson gave him a step back, otherwise he really didn't know what to do - in many ways, Tiger was also an honest child, although he has become more and more perverted in the past year.
When he was off the court just now, he felt a little angry, but the habit of observing his opponents off the court has almost become his instinct - Arsenal's defense is very stable. After Wenger took office, Arsenal's offense began to become more and more smooth and gorgeous, completely different from Arsenal in the Graham era. However, in terms of defense, they still maintained the stability and toughness of the Graham era. The defense line composed of Dixon, Winterburn, Keeon, Adams and Heeman has reached an extremely high level in experience and coordination. Being able to remain in a mess under Manchester United's fierce attack proves their defensive strength.
Of course, before this defense line, the barrier formed by two top midfielders is enough to make all offensive combinations desperate. In the penalty area, the front of the penalty area, and the sides of the penalty area, they are defended like iron barrels, and Manchester United's three-dimensional offense cannot shake Arsenal's defense line at all.
Breakthrough, only by using breakthroughs to disrupt Arsenal's defense can we create opportunities.
Tiger is not afraid of Arsenal's central defender. Although Adams has returned to his peak after quitting drinking, Tiger has never been very afraid of his central defender. There will always be a way to change his flexibility and rhythm. However, if he wants to break through, he has to get the ball outside the penalty area and the ball outside the penalty area. It is inevitable that he will face Vieira and Petit, the top midfielder.
This is almost a replica of the French midfielder combination of the 1998 World Cup.
The last failure is still vivid in my mind. Although the injury was accidental, it was true that Tiger could hardly create a threatening attack before that. After that, Tiger trained in the main god space for a long time to face the breakthrough of Vieira and Petit. Now it is time to come in handy.
I want to get rid of these two top midfielders by relying on my personal ability, but Tiger has already figured out how to deal with them.
To put it bluntly, it's just a combination of passes and breaks - in the middle lane, Tiger wouldn't fight alone. He believed in Scholes and Keane's ability to attack. With the help of these two teammates with the same top abilities, Tiger was fully confident in dealing with these two top midfielders, allowing them to reveal their flaws in the back and forth!
"Substitution, No. 14 Tiger comes on the field and replace No. 19 York."
Ferguson replaced a forward with Tiger, but it was not Cole who had been playing as a substitute before, but York, who ranked first in the scorer list. In this game, York seemed to be in average, and he did not create any chance after shooting that penalty kick. Instead, Cole seemed to be in much better shape.
After hugging York for a while, Tiger ran on the field, leaving him with half an hour.
"Emanuel, I'll go deal with that little guy."
Seeing Tiger running on the field, Vieira said to her midfielder.
Petty nodded and smiled - he was certainly the best target when he was to keep a guard against Tiger, but Vieira said this reason - the last time Tiger was injured by Vieira, and this time Vieira went to keep a guard against him. Whether Tiger had a shadow in his heart or was persistent in wanting revenge, it would be a good ending for Arsenal.
On the football field, it is not only about ability, but also about psychological factors, which is a place to compete.
******************************************************
Tiger quickly received the ball after he came on the court. All Manchester United players knew that when Tiger was sent to the court, he was allowed to break through. Even Arsenal players knew this. Before Tiger became the main player of Manchester United, Ferguson always sent Tiger to the court in a stalemate, using his breakthrough and skills to open the situation. So when Tiger received Keane's pass, Vieira quickly came forward.
A cowardly player will have a shadow when he sees his opponent who has hurt himself, and will be afraid to approach him. A brave player will be even more angry when he sees his opponent who has hurt himself, and will be even more angry when he will hit the opponent's defense line. Both of these situations are what Keane hopes to see.
But Tiger chose the third situation.
After approaching Vieira, Tiger controlled the ball very steadily. After seeing that most of the opponent's attention was focused on him, Tiger first pretended to break forward. Vieira took a step back very steadily, and he was waiting for Tiger to bump into him.
But Tiger suddenly turned around and then raised his foot and passed the ball back!
The ball fell to Keane's feet, and Keane immediately raised his foot and passed the ball to Beckham on the right!
Because of Tiger's breakthrough and Scholes's insertion, Arsenal's defense began to focus on the middle, but at this time, Beckham received the ball from a relatively weak spot!
Arsenal's average defense average age is the best in the Premier League, which has brought them rich experience and also made their reactions fall a beat!
After Beckham received the ball, he immediately made a cross. The ball flew directly to the place that was level with the small penalty area. Cole slipped in front and got rid of Adams' defense, and then headed the ball a little before Shiman attacked - the ball entered the net!
After pursuing a goal of 60 minutes, it was so simple!
Ferguson slapped off the court - this is Tiger's value. His breakthrough can attract the opponent's defensive attention to the center, so that there is enough space on the wing. As long as Tiger can pass back in time, Scholes or Keane have extremely strong pass-through ability and timely transfer the ball to the wing. Whether it is Giggs' breakthrough or Beckham's cross, it can achieve the best effect.
Rhythm, this is the rhythm. When a team is extremely powerful in both the middle and the wing offense, they can lead the opponent's nose in the rhythm. This is how the goal just now is, from the middle to the wing and then to the middle, even if it is a solid defense line like Arsenal, there are times when there is a flaw!
Of course, Tiger brought a goal as soon as he came on the court, which also has the element of luck - but which player should not rely on some luck to score? If his luck is extremely bad, he may not be able to score in the face of such a large empty goal...
Cole celebrated with Beckham, who assisted him, a key goal in this focus battle is quite important to him who has always been a substitute recently, while Tiger waved his fists and knew that he would take the initiative in the next game.
Although Vieira has excellent defensive skills, this goal will also make him face the threat of Tiger's pass. When he is distracted by Tiger's possible pass, Tiger's breakthrough will have more opportunities and flaws to be used.
Defense is passive. Defence is always at a disadvantage in the competition between the world's top defensive players and the top offensive players - just like in the 1966 World Cup final, Beckenbauer's defense against Bobby Charlton has reached its peak, and a media commentary after the game can explain this point very well - "When Charlton raises his foot to make a fake move, Beckenbauer will also raise his foot to make a fake move!" However, under this extreme defense, England was still the one who won the final victory. Charlton did not score. However, the German team, which focused on guarding Charlton, showed flaws in the defense of others. Hurst scored a hat trick, Teres scored a goal that overtook within 90 minutes, and England won the World Cup championship four-two.
Mr. Patrick Vieira, next, you are going to have some trouble...
************************************************************
Countless grass clippings and soil splashed on the lawn, and a pair of feet shoveled with dazzling shoe studs with a huge sound of wind. Tiger picked the ball into the air, dodged Vieira's fierce tackle without any delay, and then passed the ball out in the air!
Giggs, who was in the penalty area, shot directly before Keon formed a defense. Shiman made a wonderful save and blocked the ball from the bottom line from the side.
After landing, Tiger staggered, and then he shook his head slightly - Vieira's tackle was quite timely just now, forcing him to dodge, otherwise he would be able to dribble directly...
However, such actions are also very dangerous. If you are shoveled, you may be injured again, and Vieira may get a red card.
However, after seeing Vieira's expression, Tiger knew that this guy would never mind hurting himself at the cost of getting a red card. Vieira was originally one of the red card kings in the Premier League...
Now, another red card king came up to stand up for Tiger.
"Hey, Frenchman, pay attention to your movements!" Keane rushed up with a quick step, pointed at Vieira's nose and shouted.
Vieira is still a little scared of Keen. Although he is taller than Keen, his viciousness is only on the court, while Keen's viciousness includes off the court. This guy is from boxing. In Chinese terms, he is a trainer. No matter how strong Vieira is, he is just an ordinary athlete.
Vieira snorted, and then he retreated, Keen pulled Tiger up, patted Tiger on the back with encouragement, and then ran back.
Beckham took a corner kick, and Stam, who assisted forward, headed the ball to the front of Arsenal captain Adams, and the ball was slightly above the crossbar.
"Their offense is getting more and more fierce." Wenger thought to himself that the previous defense was just to wipe out Manchester United's offensive fighting spirit. Now that the score has been equalized by such an unexpected event, it is time to launch an attack!
Arsenal actually has four forwards on the court, Ovemas, Canu, Anelka and Borgkamp, all have excellent scoring abilities, and their defensive abilities are also average. Since they can't fight back, they can rely on offense to take the lead again.
Wenger stood up and made a gesture to the field. With the help of this goal, Arsenal began to attack!
Like Manchester United, Arsenal's offense is also a combination of side and middle, with Ovemas and Anelka's speed on the flank, and Borgkamp's skills and Canu's impact in the middle. Although their offensive methods are not as colorful as Manchester United, they are relatively more concise.
However, Manchester United's defense is also very strong. As Stam began to integrate into the team more and more, he began to show his strength. Seeing that he could not break through Manchester United's goal, Wenger made adjustments. Swedish young player Lyonberg replaced Canu, and Borgkamp returned to the front line.
This adjustment has increased the pressure on both sides of Manchester United at the same time. Although Anelka often returned to the midfield, he was better at playing in the middle. He only relied on Ovemas to sprint on the side. Now after Lungberg came on the court, Arsenal began to fly both wings together. In the first round of the game, Lungberg scored the third goal. It seems that Wenger cannot avoid superstition in this regard.
After the pressure on the two sides began to increase, Manchester United's wing offense began to recover a little, and the offense began to concentrate more on the middle.
Tiger received the ball and saw Vieira coming up to defend himself again. During this period, Vieira's defensive movements have been somewhat restrained. Although the collision and physical confrontation are still the same, such a big move tackle is rare. It seems that Keane's warning is effective. There is such a bad guy in the team, and his teammates will suffer less.
Seeing Vieira coming up to stare at him, Tiger knocked the ball back to Scholes with his heel, and then ran forward by himself. Scholes passed a overhead ball, and the ball fell to Tiger's feet. As soon as Tiger removed the ball, Vieira pushed up from behind.
Trying to withstand Vieira's impact, Tiger dribbled the ball forward with two steps without any confusion, and staggered to send the ball to Cole in front. Cole forced a breakthrough and was tackled by Adams, but the ball flew back to Tiger's feet. Tiger took a step forward and then swung his right foot.
At this time, Tiger was approaching the front of the penalty area, and Vieira rushed over from the back. Even if it was a foul, he would knock Tiger to the ground!
The collision was quite powerful, and Tiger was immediately hit by Vieira and rushed forward. However, he was still astonishingly unbalanced. He hooked the ball firmly under his feet, but with the help of Vieira's collision, he rushed into the penalty area directly!
Keon was rushing towards the defense. Seeing that Tiger was staggering and was about to lose his balance, he was about to tackle, but Tiger made an amazing move!
While staggering, Tiger swung his right foot and was about to shoot. Kieon subconsciously raised his foot to block it, but Tiger's foot flew over the ball, then quickly knocked back, and pushed the ball from behind his left foot, then quickly turned around! During the turn, Tiger pushed the ball to the side with his left foot, dodged away from Kieon's foot, and broke through Kieon!
Cruyff turned around!
Shiman, who was guarding in front of the goal, felt a flash in front of him, and Tiger had already broken through Keon's defense and faced him directly - the location was in the small penalty area!
After completing this pass, Tiger did not give Himan any time to react. With the help of the breakthrough momentum, he swung his right foot and drew the ball hard!
The ball flew into the goal with a roar! Two to one! Manchester United took the lead!
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh! What did we see! Tiger beautifully got rid of Keon's defense in the penalty area! No time to steal! This action... Cruyff turned around! Although the movement was not standard, using such a dexterous and fast turn to pass in the narrow penalty area is undoubtedly Cruyff's first turning action! Beautiful! Beautiful! So wonderful! This Tiger... How many more surprises can he bring to us!"
The commentator on the scene shouted incoherently, and the Manchester United fans in the stands had already raised their arms!
McLaren on the sidelines was also stunned. He glanced at the branch that was waving his arms, and then smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Ferguson, I know why you treated him with tolerance."
Ferguson put down his arm, turned around and said to him: "Such an outstanding young man with a weird temper sometimes needs to be arrogant." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations from ***(***.***) ***. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
