Li Ang sat back on the coaching bench with a smile on his face.
The players have obviously received his 'signal' and are reflecting his demands on the field.
When the team speeds up and exerts force, Li Ang hopes that the team can mobilize the opponent's defense through quick passes.
Manchester United is a team with a relatively tight defense. Especially when Manchester United temporarily focuses on defense, it is difficult to form a more direct and effective offensive effect purely by relying on personal skills. However, it can be achieved through
The quick pass after speeding up seeks to open up gaps in Manchester United's defense.
Just like now!
Mata suddenly passed the ball from behind, and then people saw Evra suddenly press up!
This scene made the commentators from various countries in the broadcast booth excited. A full-back assist is a 'symbol' for a team to start an active attack. It is of great significance. For example, before, whether it was a full-back from Manchester United or an Inter Milan
The full-backs rarely press past the half-court, and even if they cross the central axis, they will quickly 'retract'. Never before has Evra pressed so deeply and so hard like this time.
Determined!
"Patrice Evra suddenly stepped forward and participated in the attack! Manchester United seems to be unprepared for this!"
Ferguson roared on the sidelines. The Manchester United team was caught off guard by Evra's sudden advance. Someone must make up for it immediately!
Ferguson couldn't help but worry. The full-back assists. This tactic can be said to be very old-fashioned, but it is also very effective!
Especially when the opponent is a team like Inter Milan, because Inter Milan has two great centers, Adriano and Diego Milito!
Although Manchester United's two central defenders Vidic and Ferdinand are very good, Ferguson does not want to see his penalty area being tested.
Because, for the attacker, if you try ten times, you only need to succeed once; on the contrary, for the defender, if you succeed a hundred times, if you fail once, you will have to pay a heavy price!
***********
Brown stepped forward to greet him.
The Manchester United right back, who is brave in style, directly tackles down. He wants to shovel the ball under Evra's feet out of the baseline.
However, unfortunately, Evra seemed to have already judged Brown's move. He directly knocked the football forward and jumped up to avoid Brown's flying tackle!
"Idiot! Idiot!" Ferguson was furious on the sidelines, "What is he doing!"
Brown's flying tackle was too reckless.
Such a flying shovel that throws the entire center of gravity is a one-shot deal. It either succeeds or fails. There are two possibilities for failure: shoveling the opponent, a foul, or the shovel is empty!
Brown failed this time!
The result of his failed tackle was disastrous!
Evra dodged the flying tackle and strode forward to catch up with the football.
"Danger! Evra breaks through!"
Now, Ferdinand is in a dilemma. Originally, if Brown could entangle Evra, even if he could not steal, he would be able to provide huge help to Manchester United's defense. Ferdinand had to guard Adriano, and
His center back partner Vidic has to keep an eye on Diego Milito!
Now it's bad.
Evra easily got rid of Brown. Now, the French left-back has multiple options. He can directly high ball into the penalty area, or he can cut inside into the penalty area, and then choose to pass or shoot!
Ferdinand hopes that Evra will choose the first option, which is the best defense for Manchester United.
Because neither Ferdinand nor Vidic is out of position at this time.
However, it is obvious that Evra has a very high football intelligence. He knows how to pose a threat to Manchester United's defense. He dunked the football and cut it in horizontally!
Ferdinand had only one choice, drop Adriano and pounce on Evra!
Although he knew that this meant that Adriano was unguarded, which was extremely dangerous, as a defender, he had no choice.
***********
However, when he rushed out, Ferdinand caught a glimpse of Scholes actively returning to defense, filling his position and moving closer to Adriano. This made Ferdinand breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Scholes is not a pure defensive player, it is better than leaving Adriano undefended!
Of course, these actually happen in the blink of an eye.
"Beautiful!" Ferguson clenched his fists on the sidelines. Scholes' active return to defense was crucial! These old disciples are still reliable!
There was also an imperceptible smile on the corner of Li Ang's mouth, and his eyes glanced towards the court, to be precise, Inter Milan's right wing and Manchester United's left wing!
On the field: Almost at the same time as Evra cut inside, Mata suddenly ran diagonally over.
Ferdinand was startled.
He has to guard against Evra sending a through ball to Mata!
Evra paused slightly and made a passing gesture.
This forced Ferdinand to forcefully twist his body and block the pass!
However, Ferdinand realized in the next second that he had been fooled, because Evra did not pass the ball, he once again moved the football and dribbled the ball horizontally along the penalty area line!
Ferdinand, who had changed his center of gravity, did not expect Evra to break through so resolutely. He watched helplessly as his opponent broke through from his side, with no way to do anything.
He dare not commit a foul!
And the most important thing is that while Mata is moving, Modric is also moving very covertly!
Then, what people saw was that Evra did not pass the ball to Mata, but dribbled the ball laterally and completed a beautiful cross with Modric who was running over: Evra missed the ball and left the football to Mo
Derich!
***********
After the game, people repeatedly observed and commented on Inter Milan's attack and Manchester United's defensive response. It was hailed as a great offensive and defensive confrontation!
Because, Manchester United showed their defensive energy!
Manchester United's defense is very resilient. Almost instantly, they responded to Inter Milan's beautiful cooperation. In a multi-corner substitution exchange, Vidic pounced on Modric. At the same time,
Left back O'Shea came up to defend Diego Milito.
However, Inter Milan performed even better!
Almost at the same time, Modric passed the ball decisively!
What he was waiting for was the moment when Manchester United changed positions to cover!
A ground ball and the football was passed to Diego Milito!
"This pass..." a commentator exclaimed. It was not a compliment, but a surprise.
Because Diego Milito had his back to the goal and O'Shea was marking him at the same time!
In this case, you can hardly expect Diego Milito to complete the turn and shoot. It is even difficult to stop the football and successfully control it.
***********
Of course Diego Milito knew this, and he immediately made a judgment. It was just difficult for him to complete the turn with the football. If he stopped the ball, he would probably be intercepted, which would also end the attack.
Li Ang stood up suddenly and stared at the field.
Li Ang has repeatedly praised Diego Milito as a big-game player and a player with a high football intelligence!
This time, the Argentine striker did not disappoint Li Ang: he did not stop the ball, nor did he try to turn around and shoot to gain luck, but immediately passed the football!
And it was passed to his left rear!
"Beautiful pass-and-cut coordination!" Ferrari shouted.
Then, everyone saw David Silva appear there, receiving a pass from Diego Milito.
Then, the Spanish international met the ball and fired a powerful volley!!!
"David Silva!!"
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar tried his best to pounce but could not reach the ball. David Silva chose a powerful shot that he was not good at. He had only one purpose - to shoot the ball fast!
Before the football touched Van der Sar, it passed over the inside of the post and suddenly penetrated into the snow-white net.
