Countless Manchester United fans flocked to the Theater of Dreams in their minds before the game started. Manchester United's performance at the start of the season was not bad. They are now ranked second in the league, second only to their old rival Arsenal, and they have won the first three rounds of the championship.
Two games, they have strong confidence in this game, because they believe that Atletico Madrid only relied on luck to win against Manchester United at home, and now at Manchester United's home court, they will definitely be beaten to pieces by Manchester United!
After the expansion, Old Trafford can now accommodate 68,000 fans, which also allows Manchester United to always surpass Arsenal in terms of financial resources - you must know that Arsenal has 20,000 fewer fans per game than Manchester United.
With so many people, the cumulative number is a staggering one, which is why Arsenal is trying every possible means to build a new stadium.
The splendid Old Trafford Stadium is full of incomparable magnificence, but for Dick, he can still complain about this great stadium very well.
After walking into the visiting team's locker room at Old Trafford with the players, Dick whistled frivolously: "Is this the locker room of a five-star stadium? The standard is too poor... No wonder they say
As good as the home dressing rooms of English clubs are in good repair, the away team's dressing rooms are in poor repair..."
In fact, as a Manchester United club that often plays European competitions, their visiting team's locker room is not as exaggerated as the legend says. Of course, it is not much better. It can only be regarded as an ordinary locker room.
"Okay, let's go out and warm up. The dressing room at Old Trafford is not very good, but the standard of the lawn is still very high. Let's warm up well, get familiar with the venue, and then use our characteristics on such a good lawn.
Let Manchester United know what a controlling midfielder is, and let them know what price they need to pay to acquire such a midfielder!"
The players of Atletico Madrid responded in unison, and then walked out of the locker room under the leadership of Molina to conduct warm-up activities. After Dick was the only one left in the locker room, Dick began to fight in the locker room.
Something has changed - he is also very curious about the Old Trafford dressing room. After all, before his rebirth, he was just an ordinary ball player.
A fan, he is naturally interested in this kind of locker room, which is considered a secret in the professional football circle. However, there is really no information on this aspect. The only locker room of a top professional team that he has seen on film and television is Newcastle.
United's dressing room - it was thanks to the first part of the movie "One Goal to Fame".
After walking around in the locker room, Dick curled his lips. It seemed that if he wanted to know what the Manchester United home dressing room was like, he would have to have the opportunity to coach Manchester United - but it is estimated that there will be no chance in ten years.
With Ferguson around, all potential successors to Manchester United's head coach can only wait. Ferguson is exhausted.
How many so-called successors to Ferguson have died, Steve Bruce, Kidd, McLaren, Queiroz... This energetic old man had news of retiring after a year or two, but in ten years
After that, he still stayed as the head coach of Manchester United and showed no signs of retiring.
After stopping, Dick carefully thought about the next tactics and felt that there was no problem. Manchester United's starting lineup has been determined, and there is no change from the starting lineup he got before. Compared with the control of the midfield,
Dick really doesn't think his team can't suppress Manchester United!
Cut out Manchester United's midfield in the midfield, leaving Veron unable to organize, making the four major midfielders a mess, and then seizing the weaknesses in Manchester United's defense to attack - it is difficult for Manchester United not to lose. In recent years, some giants have
There was a problem with the central defender position. Dick used various means to form Thuramgastam's central defender combination. This combination allowed him to be in a leading position to a certain extent when fighting against other giants.
!
When Ferguson saw Dick coming out of the tunnel, he nodded slightly to Dick and then returned to his position. Dick nodded to Ferguson in the same way and said nothing.
, and then returned to the visiting team’s coaching bench despite the boos from the sky.
Because of the vague attack on Dick by the English media, Manchester United fans did not have a good impression of Dick. When they saw Dick, they collectively booed. England fans have a characteristic, that is, they have great lung capacity and are uniform at the same time.
, when more than 60,000 people in the audience all booed in unison, the person who was booed seemed to be under a lot of pressure...
Dick was not moved at all. He was used to this kind of scene. You must know that when he went to the Bernabeu or Camp Nou as a guest, the fans there would almost madly curse Dick. Dick was not moved at all. The lung capacity of Manchester United fans was too high.
Yes, they actually have no grudge against Dick, so the boos are just boos.
"The players from both sides came out... Just like the first round, Atletico Madrid sent out their usual 4-5-1 lineup, and Ferguson also started Veron. The lineups of both sides were 4-5-1, but Atletico Madrid was in the 4-5-1 lineup.
It changed back and forth between May 1st and 433, while Manchester United changed back and forth between 451 and 442. In the first round, Atletico Madrid once had the advantage on the scene, but when Veron started to play
At that time, Manchester United began to take advantage in the midfield... The Argentinian has been in good form recently, assisting three times and scoring a goal in four league rounds. This kind of performance is what he deserves. Facing Atletico Madrid in this game
, let us wait and see what kind of performance Veron will have!"
When the players from both sides shook hands, Atletico Madrid players all had serious expressions. They were holding back their energy and wanted to prove their excellence in midfield control in the next game, no matter what they faced.
Against such an opponent, they all have to prove that they can be proud of controlling the midfield!
Manchester United's players are also full of confidence. They are not afraid of any player at Old Trafford.
From the beginning of the game, the two sides started a fierce battle in the midfield. After the accumulation of previous games, Manchester United's players were basically used to Veron controlling the rhythm, which started their battle for the midfield.
Take it seriously - the consequence of this is that both sides want to seize the opportunity to hit each other in the back...
After receiving Veron's pass, Beckham passed the ball directly behind Atletico Madrid's defense. Ruud van Nistelrooy got the ball behind Thuram. Just as he was about to dribble the ball forward, the linesman raised the flag for offside.
Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack. After receiving the ball, Belleron turned around and passed back. Baraja made a long pass to the left. The moment he passed the ball, Manchester United's defense moved forward. Vicente moved forward and was just about to catch up.
The referee's whistle also sounded for the ball, and he was also offside.
"Offside again! Both sides seemed to be playing very fast at the beginning, constantly looking for opportunities through long passes. Only two minutes into the game, both sides were offside twice. Such a fast-paced attack did not seem to be good for Atletico Madrid.
It's very advantageous because Manchester United are used to this fast-paced style of play..."
After another offside, Dick stood up and made a downward gesture towards the field. This is normal. This kind of play is not very beneficial to Atletico Madrid. However, it is a bit strange that when Dick behaves like this
While doing this, Ferguson also made a gesture to the court to slow down the attack...
"Strange, why did Ferguson slow down the pace? Manchester United seems to prefer to control the pace during this period. Whether such a change is good or not, it will take time to prove..."
In the comments of the commentators, the two sides continued to fight in the midfield, but they did not give up the long pass. After all, when the midfielders of both sides were strangled together, they directly found the weakest point in the opponent's defense.
is a good choice.
Under the opponent's crazy pressing, Atletico Madrid still struggled to pass the ball back and forth in the midfield. Belleron took the initiative to retreat, and then received the pass from Baraja. Then he looked up and saw Jardel talking with Johansson.
Fighting for position, he did not hesitate anymore, but directly passed the ball in the midfield. The pass passed sharply across the midfield, and then fell directly within 30 meters of Manchester United!
Jader and Johansen rushed towards the ball's landing point at the same time. During the sprint, the two were still fighting with their bodies. Under Jadel's collision, Johansen seemed to be unable to hold on. He was hit.
He lost his center of gravity, but his interference also effectively affected Jardel's forward momentum. When Jardel lifted his foot to remove the ball, Blanco had already returned to defense. Under Blanco's interference,
Jardel's shot failed to hit the target, and Barthez easily confiscated the ball.
However, Barthez did not launch an attack with a long pass, but threw the ball far away from the sideline. The referee stopped the game because Johnson, who had just collided with Jardel, fell to the ground with a painful expression on his face.
…
Jardel spread his hands in surprise. He didn't make any extra moves just now, he just kept colliding with the opponent. The Manchester United players also saw this clearly. Every time Johnson hit the ground, it seemed
A little heavier than usual, and after last season's overhaul, Johansen's body has been very fragile, with constant minor injuries...
Jardel walked over and politely comforted Johnson. Soon, Manchester United's team doctor came on the field with a stretcher. After a preliminary examination, he asked others with a serious expression to help carry Johnson onto the stretcher.
, he trotted off the field and said a few words to Ferguson.
Ferguson shook his head helplessly. The team doctor's words were simple, but they made him very helpless - Johnson's knee that had been operated on before was injured again. He didn't know how long he would have to rest, but at least he would not be able to play in this game.
That's it...
Dick laughed when he saw Brown warming up off the court - Brown, a defender, has been favored by many football celebrities since his debut, thinking that he can become the next Stam-like central defender, but he has never been able to
Being able to play well is a bit like Bayern's forward Ziegler. When he debuted, I thought his characteristics were very similar to Bayern's and Germany's legendary striker Gerd Muller. However, after playing many times, he was just a mediocre forward.
…
There are actually many such players. They have good talents and are favored by others, but they have never even had a glorious period. This is not as good as Dortmund's "forever genius boy" Ricken, who at least had a great success in the 1996-97 season.
There was such a highlight moment in the Champions League final.
"God is still helping me. If Brown comes on the field, it will be easier to score goals." Dick thought proudly in his heart.
