154 Oncoming Tsunami

Old Trafford, Dream Theater.

Red Devils fans appreciate the team they support as usual as they always attack the visitors!

This fast-paced impact is the essence of British football. As for the style of long-passing and rushing, it is already the past of the old calendar.

The Braga defense line is in turmoil, Manchester United's stronger confrontational impact, the pressing of an inch of land and the simple and fast transmission and cutting coordination, the triangle transmission seems to be able to break the Braga defense line in minutes.

Braga, who had no choice but to retreat, could no longer see any signs of threatening offensive.

Yartim was already nervous on the sidelines and his spine was cold, and his mentality was inevitably trembling, because he could concede the ball anytime and anywhere.

Manchester United, which lacks midfield organizers, connects and creates threats at the cost of Rooney's pullback.

The strength of the wing attack was mainly due to Ashley Young and Giggs crossing in turn. The Iron Man Park Ji-sung, who could not run, would always catch Braga's defense off guard from time to time.

Little Pea Hernandez grabbed the ball in front of the goal and happened to be blocked by Quim with his calf to make all Braga frightened.

Rooney slipped past the long shot outside the penalty area, and the back midfielder Custodio and Amorin seemed to have no choice but to do anything to him.

As for personal confrontation, except for Braga's defender, no player in the midfield is Rooney's opponent. Lu Xiaopang, who is from boxing, is not as playful as Tang Hong. Indeed, physical confrontation cannot be underestimated among the forwards.

Lima's several responses were squeezed out by Phil Jones, and even touching the ball seemed to have become a luxury.

Since Viana faced Evra in the offense, it was difficult for him to get rid of the breakthrough, so he could only settle for the second best and cooperate with his teammates as much as possible.

In the 21st minute of the game, Tang Hong, who had already retreated and participated in the defense, took the ball and saw Park Ji-sung who was retreating. He decisively shifted the ball and accelerated forcibly. Although he succeeded this time, Rooney, who was retreating in the middle, knocked him to the ground from behind!

After the collision, Rooney, who was in possession of the ball, was quite dissatisfied when he heard the referee's whistle.

Tang Hong stood up and ran forward without even thinking, hoping that the team could play a fast attack.

Barbosa hangs the ball directly into the frontcourt in the backcourt.

Even though Tang Hong is fast, if this ball does not have the advantage of starting, it would be almost whimsical to shorten the distance with his opponent by at least 5 meters.

Raphael passed the ball back to goalkeeper De Gea, and Tang Hong, who rushed to the frontcourt, could only turn around and retreat.

Manchester United's rapid impact continued, Ferguson was still chewing gum, but his face was already a little gloomy. Raising his wrist to look at the watch shows that he was dissatisfied with the team's delay in scoring.

He won Braga at home and could play lightly when he went away.

Although the Europa League is not a big meal in the eyes of the Red Devils, it is not a tasteless junk.

The focus is on the league, and the UEFA Cup is based on its capabilities.

In the 29th minute of the game, when Giggs made a precise cross on the wing 45 degrees, the football that was hanging into the penalty area was headed by Hernandez and headed towards the upper right corner of Braga's goal!

The old goalkeeper Quim was extremely brave and flew to save the ball with one palm to block the ball out of the baseline.

Manchester United immediately took a tactical corner kick, and after Rafael and Ashley Young crossed the side, they cut into the bottom line of Braga's penalty area. Then Rafael's inverted triangle pass found Park Ji-sung on the penalty area line from the dense cracks, who pushed the ball to the lower left corner of the goal!

Quim saved decisively, but as soon as his feet left the ground, he was shocked to see the football hitting Custodio's leg refracting and changing direction to the lower right corner of the goal!

Quim was stunned and could only watch the football roll into Braga's goal!

As the number one player in Asia who scored in three World Cups, South Korean king Park Ji-sung's goal in the Premier League is no longer new. Even if he is not the main player at Manchester United for a long time, he has always been a favorite player of Ferguson. Today, he once again ran and unexpected goals on the court without hesitation to cause spectacular waves on Old Trafford!

"Park Ji-sung shot! The ball has changed direction! The ball has entered! Manchester United scored first at Old Trafford!

Under the continuous impact, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock on the court. Surprisingly, the goal scorer was South Korean star Park Ji-sung. We thought that the first to score the goal would be another Asian player, but Manchester United still showed the temperament of a powerful man, and was ravaging Braga when they appeared!

Manchester United 1:0 Braga!”

After playing 1/3 of the game, Braga seems to have not yet gained a foothold in Old Trafford. Although this goal will not be considered as an own goal by Custodio, he can't refuse to blame the loss of the ball, and he looks ashamed and doesn't know how to face his teammates.

Tang Hong came to the central circle to prepare for the kickoff. He was not considered to be taken seriously by Manchester United today. Manchester United's defense actually originated from their overall suppression of Braga in the offensive, plus their overall habit of fast-paced offense and defense.

And this is definitely not the strongest Manchester United.

Braga's performance after conceding the ball did not improve, which was caused by the complete cut and disruption of the midfield by the opponent. The teammates were still in a sense of passing the ball. Even though the pass was still accurate, because Manchester United stepped forward and pressed too quickly, and the fierce anti-counterattacks, Barbosa was the player with the most falls, both Park Ji-sung and Phil Jones had an advantage in confrontation against him.

Tang Hong retreated more and participated in the defense to put pressure on Ashley Yang on the wing. Even if he had the opportunity to counterattack, he had too far back because the starting position was too far back. If he did not have the cooperation of quickly shooting the ball in the middle during the forward attack, he would never be able to make a single player from the backcourt to attack Huanglong.

When they came to Manchester United's territory, the Red Devils were entertaining Braga in a British style. The referee's standards were significantly relaxed, which was considered to be a home whistle, but they would not really turn the Europa League into the Premier League.

In the 38th minute of the game, Tang Hong gave Lima a straight pass over the top in the backcourt, which was the best opportunity since Braga started!

After Lima successfully counterattacked Smalling and Evans, they were out of reach for the dust.

But the key ball was going out of the penalty area!

Spain's new generation of star goalkeepers abandoned the goal and expanded their defense range.

When Lima met De Gea, he had only one choice to shoot, almost shot in De Gea's arms. The football was blocked by De Gea as expected. Evans, who was chasing back, claimed the alarm was lifted after possessing the ball.

Lima could only look back at Tang Hong and gave him a thumbs up, but he looked a little disappointed.

It is not said that this goal was not scored, but it definitely did not perform beyond expectations.

Under the urgency of pressure, players' performance will either improve or become worse, which determines whether players can cope with the test of big scenes!

Manchester United began to actively control the rhythm with 5 minutes left in the first half.

Giggs retreated to the sidelines of the midfield and actively responded to the pass of his teammates, and then sent the ball to safety. Manchester United seemed to be about to end the first half smoothly, but immediately launched another surprise attack when Braga's formation was pressing in front of the counter-attack!

Hernandez received a pass from Rooney and pulled the ball in front of the penalty area line and then spiked the ball over Coelho. Then he pushed the ball to the far corner before Eveton came to block it!

Seeing that goalkeeper Quim was already desperate, he saw the football rubbing the outside of the left post and rolling out of the baseline, as if he was in a desperate situation!

"Hernandez almost won another goal for Manchester United. This goal angle is tricky enough. If you can get a little closer to the goal, even if you have 20 cm, you may have this goal!

Manchester United suppressed Braga throughout the first half. Now it is very difficult for Braga to perform a miracle at Manchester United!

They cannot withstand the strong impact of Manchester United. The most important thing is that it is difficult to create continuous counterattack opportunities. If you cannot make positive adjustments during the halftime break, then Braga can only pray to return to home court and perform a miracle again!”

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half and Manchester United players walked towards the player's passage in the corner of the court with a relaxed expression.

This is also the unique feature of the Old Trafford Stadium design. Ferguson walked along the sidelines toward the player passage with a smile, and waved to the fans who cheered him from time to time. Yartim was like a frightened child, with a tight look on his face clearly pretending to be calm.

Tang Hong left the court with a lot of worries. Barbosa's hairstyle was completely messy like a fried chicken. He trotted to Tang Hong and whispered: "If you press forward in the second half, how about we play a long pass?"

Tang Hong came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, saying: "Manchester United is a Premier League team. They are very experienced in dealing with long passes. It is unrealistic to try to solve the battle with one long pass."

Barbossassoso had to nod his head powerlessly after a moment, and he asked in frustration: "What should I do?"

Tang Hong said casually: "Go back to the locker room first and listen to how the coach arranges it."

Walking into the player channel, Tang Hong was thinking about his own thoughts again.

It's not about being absent, but it's really related to the game.

His success rate of repeated breakthroughs in the first half was lower than that in Portugal's timeout, but it was not a cliff-like decline.

The technical advantage will not disappear out of thin air. Even if the confrontation and rhythm are not as good as Manchester United, it does not mean that Braga's players, including Tang Hong, cannot even control the ball.

However, after his successful breakthrough, the efficiency of continuing the offensive was not high, because his breakthrough route was not only too obvious, but even if the opponent was broken, he still had a chance to remedy it with fouls in the fast-paced state.

What Tang Hong thought about was how to improve the offensive efficiency after the breakthrough, and it was best to be able to completely get rid of it at one time without giving the opponent a chance to foul!

After returning to the locker room, Yartim really came up with a set of adjustment plans.

Give up the middle lane and only play on the side lane!

The midfield retreat compresses the space in front of the penalty area. When the offense and defense are converted, they mainly make progress on the wing. At the same time, Viana retreats and strengthens the defense on the wing. Tang Hong and Lima play freely in the midfield and frontcourt!

433 hit 442. I won’t say whether the specific adjustment is effective, but this situation is completely afraid of Manchester United’s expansion of the results!
Chapter completed!
