348 Can't Sit Still

The whistle sounded, and the football was transferred backward from Rooney's feet to Scholes in the midfield. From this moment on, the Champions League final officially began.

From the moment the game started, the lineups of both sides suddenly merged into everything. Parma's players gathered towards the midfield, and at the midfield line, a siege and oppression trend immediately formed. Manchester United's players also suddenly began to intersperse the frontcourt in an instant. Scholes's ball was directly passed to the frontcourt. Rooney received the ball and sent it to the right. They seemed to have no time to prepare at all and were about to start attacking.

"Manchester United started a fierce attack from the beginning of the game! It's surprising that Manchester United plays football very fiercely. Do they want to completely gain the upper hand from the beginning?"

No wonder Leinkele exclaimed that Manchester United played quite strangely.

Manchester United's strength is generally recognized as strong, but they rarely have such a strong moment to beat him. Most of the time, they rely on full recovery and the quick counterattack of three-headed monsters from frontcourt players. Ronaldo's extreme sharpening, Rooney's frequent pulling and Tevez's sacrifice have made Manchester United's tactics very powerful. However, no matter how strong they are, their playing style is still a defensive counterattack-based approach, which is still very different from the current momentum of storm that has been burning in the boats from the beginning.

However, they did not hesitate in this game. At the beginning of the game, the three-headed monsters in their frontcourt immediately pressed up. With a Hargreaves, they directly resisted Parma's defense line and completely did not give Parma any chance to pass the ball back and slightly control the situation. They had to completely suppress Parma's backcourt as soon as they came up, trying to score a goal from the beginning.

This situation is strange, but unexpectedly useful. Although Parma's team is very strong, they still have less experience. In such a big scene, they were all a little excited. Manchester United immediately put pressure from the beginning of the game, which made Parma seem to be a little off guard. The team also pulled backwards, and Cavani's position was immediately pulled into the midfield position. Manchester United players immediately overwhelmed the center line, trying to suppress Parma across the line and scored the goal as soon as possible.

Ferguson saw it very clearly: Since you don’t know how you play, then let you follow me to play. If you suppress your defense, you will be disconnected when you want to oppress. If you want to control the ball, you will have no way to pass it back. From the beginning, he will make Parma lose his autonomy!

C Luo held the ball under his feet, but he didn't speed up. He first made a small bicycle cycling move, and then started a breakthrough on the wing. Obviously, playing in the Champions League final is also something worthy of excitement for him, and his emotions are also a little excited.

He immediately started a breakthrough. He took a step forward towards the middle. Grosso did not follow him closely, but pressed him to make a parallel move towards the middle, blocking his direction very seriously. In front of Ronaldo, Cannavaro immediately shoveled over, but Ronaldo pushed the ball to the right, avoiding his tackle, and he took a step to the left, and a man passed the ball and threw him away. Then facing De Jong, he stepped on the ball with one foot, and a rotational movement similar to Marseille circling, dodged De Jong and killed in front of the penalty area.

“Excellent breakthrough!”

Ronaldo's breakthrough was quite exciting. At the beginning of the Champions League, there was a rapid raid between two people, which made Manchester United fans all call. On the court, Ag had moved towards his forward route, but Ronaldo did not choose to continue making breakthroughs. At about three meters away from the penalty area, he suddenly raised his foot and shot a long shot!

The football rolled out of the court against the post, and the shot was tilted, but it still made the whole Manchester United team excited all of a sudden.

"What a pity, Manchester United failed to score in the first minute." Although Leinkele said it was a pity, his tone was very happy. It seemed that Manchester United's star was in great shape!

However, both sides seemed to be a little too excited. Cannavaro's tackle just now was obviously a bit rash. If he hadn't met Ronaldo, he had a rash long shot, it would be hard to say.

Fortunately, Manchester United is the one who has the upper hand.

"We can see that Manchester United has gained the upper hand from the beginning. They have already gained a big advantage from the beginning. Parma was suppressed by them to the backcourt, but they did not seem to give up the idea of ​​counterattacking completely. Now their frontcourt is running very chaotic. Cavani retreats too well, and Yaya Toure and Mota do not retreat enough, and they even want to intervene and score again for the team. Their current midfield is crowded in a group, wanting to counterattack, but they are afraid of losing the ball. It seems that now, they don't know what to do... "

Leinkel also expressed his opinion as he watched the game. Parma seemed to be pressed by Manchester United at high pressure as soon as he came up. The method of cutting off the connection between the midfield and the defenders was not suitable. In their frontcourt, except for Milito, who was also standing on the forward line, the other players were very deeply involved. In the midfield, Yaya Toure and Mota seemed to want to admit defeat. Both of them were in front of him. Parma's 4312 formation seemed to be squeezed into a 4141 formation.

This is really a strange formation. Are they so rude to fight?

Manchester United's attack was launched at this time. Carrick made a pass that was not difficult. He gave the ball to Scholes in front of him with one kick in the midfield. Scholes turned around halfway and kept sending the ball directly towards Ronaldo in front of him. Ronaldo turned his back to the goal. He did not turn around, but directly plucked the ball with one kick and pushed the ball behind him.

This was beyond everyone's expectations, and the football ran directly to the defense line. However, Rooney behind him did not expect such a pass. He was slower and Frey had already saved it and held the ball in his arms.

C Luo waved his fist hard, but said nothing.

"A pretty wonderful pass, Manchester United showed a very high level. Up to now, we can see that the players on both sides no longer had the youth of the first opening. They have begun to adapt to the game. Manchester United has already shown us the strength of a top team in the game. I just hope that Parma can also play some good levels and let us watch a wonderful game..."

As Reinkell spoke, Parma's counterattack had already been launched. When Mota brought the ball to the back of the center circle, he suddenly passed the ball straight, passed the ball through Manchester United's midfield defense, and sent it to Milito in front!

This is not a good opportunity. Milito collected a lot. Not to mention the defender, it was difficult for him to get rid of Hargreaves as soon as possible after he got the ball. However, after Milito got the ball, he did not think about inserting it himself. He kicked the ball behind him, stood on the sidelines, and then ran up quickly.

Sabaleta immediately passed the ball again and sent the ball towards the frontcourt.

Manchester United oppressed the four defenders of Parma, but they still failed to completely suppress Sabareta. Hargreaves had to take into account the middle defense, which gave him such an opportunity.

In the frontcourt, Milito received the ball at the front of the penalty area, but he was surrounded by Ferdinand and Vidic. Although Manchester United was very strong, they were not unprepared for Parma's counterattack. Their defense line was not slow at all. However, Milito did not stop the ball. He jumped up in the back run, turned around in the air, headed the ball, and gave the ball to Arshavin behind him. He landed himself, turned around again, and ran forward. This series of movements was simple and smooth. Although he did not throw away Ferdinand around him, it gave Ferdinand no chance to compete for the top.

This seemingly simple pass suddenly changed Ferguson's face on the sidelines.

"Arshaven got the ball, but no one around him looked at the defense! Vidic inserted it, the ball behind him, Milito!"

When Al Shawen got the ball, there was not a single person beside him. After he received the ball, Viddie rushed forward, but Al Shawen immediately punched the ball behind him, and the football immediately penetrated Milito's feet!

Ferdinand had already taken a step forward when he was stuffing the ball. When Milito got the ball, he immediately raised his hand and signaled that it was offside. However, the referee did not respond - after Milito headed the ball, he also took a step back. He ran forward only after passing the ball, but did not run offside. He did not run towards the small penalty area in the penalty area, but on the edge of the right side of the small penalty area, at a small angle, he pushed his right foot directly towards the far corner!

Van der Sar had already rushed out to intercept, but he never expected that Milito would not have rushed into the small penalty area, but instead played such a small-angle shot! He rushed out, but he knew that he could not reach it at all. He could not imagine that he was already a single shot and still playing like this. Is this a master of skills and courage, or is the ignorant fearless?

As it turns out, this is obviously the former. Milito's shot against the ground was quite fast, and the angle was very tricky. Milito did not play one-on-one with Van der Sar because he had full confidence in his shooting skills!

The football rolled directly into the left foot of the goal. Within ten minutes of the game, Manchester United's pressure failed to score, but his goal was broken by Parma!

"gooooal!!! Diego Milito!!!"

Milito turned his head, and unexpectedly he did not celebrate wildly, but smiled and picked up Arshavin who rushed over.

His performance seemed extremely calm, as if scoring the first-time goal in the Champions League final was a trivial matter.

"Parma scored a goal with a counterattack, which is really unacceptable. What happened to the defense just now? Why is there a vacuum in front of the penalty area? Why is there no one in Arshavin defending?" Leinkel had not understood it yet, but Ferguson had already stood up on the sidelines. Unlike Leinkel, he saw it very clearly.

Parma was not a midfielder being squeezed and deformed at all. They took the initiative to become 4141's play. Although they were a little confused because of the tension, this was originally a tactical arrangement. Manchester United's double center back arrangement is a parallel position that has not changed for many years. Therefore, Parma played a very outstanding tactic: they relied on a front press of Milito, causing both defenders to shrink, and Cavani, who retreated, attracted Hargreaves' attention. Yaya Toure and Mota's forward interlude entangled Scholes and Carrick. In this way, at the front of the penalty area, Manchester United formed a vacuum zone. Arshavin got the ball, and there was still five steps away from the back line. At this distance, no one was defending him!

The problem is big - Ferguson immediately realized it. This season, people have been praising his frontless formation and his outstanding arrangements for the center position, but now he has realized that in this game, he was counter-suppressed by the opponent with the center tactics. What made him most uneasy was that Manchester United's two-guards' parallel position has been a tactic for many years and cannot move easily. This is the most afraid of being targeted by the opponent!

This is not a loophole, it is a technical knockdown. It is precisely because of this that this is even more terrifying.
