spn Since receiving the guidance from Ferguson, Li Yu has maintained the habit of communicating with his teammates before getting the ball in the team. Others in the Manchester United team have gradually become accustomed to Li Yu's unique way of asking for the ball. They found that,
When passing the ball to Li Yu, you don't have to worry about passing it too big. On the contrary, you can't pass the ball too slowly. Li Yu's speed is too fast. If the ball is passed too big, he can still catch up. If the ball is passed slowly, he will be offside!
In the second round of the league a week later, Ferguson sent out a striker team of Li Yu and Tevez, while Rooney and Ronaldo continued to be injured.
The opponent of the game was Portsmouth. Manchester United played away from home. The two teams had played a Charity Shield cup match before. As soon as the game started, the two teams had no intention of testing their opponents and directly started to attack. Portsmouth
Today's tactic is to score a point from the start and let Manchester United take the main attack, and Manchester United also wants to play the game in its own way.
Both teams wanted to establish an advantage from the start. They started a fierce battle in the midfield, especially Li Yu. The media were saying that he was not suitable for Manchester United's tactics.
If the media comes to interview Portsmouth head coach Redknapp, the old man will probably open the book directly, "tm, idiot, what can one game say!" [
In the Charity Shield match, Redknapp had experienced Li Yu's prowess. The first step was to strengthen the midfield fight in order to cut off the Manchester United midfielder's support for the forwards. This was not enough. Li Yu could break through on his own, then
Send another defensive midfielder to take care of him in the midfield.
Everything Portsmouth can think of and do has been used in the game. After Manchester United got Li Yu, it made people feel that they were paying attention to one thing and neglected the other. There was no telling when Li Yu would suddenly break out and perform a personal show.
We have to defend, and we have to defend Manchester United as a whole. Tevez is not a vegetarian. In fact, on the field, Portsmouth is completely fighting, and the fighting is very strenuous. As long as they can get the lead, all this can be done.
It's worth it.
But the game was not going as Portsmouth imagined. After Li Yu retreated, he acted like a defensive player in the midfield. The midfielder who was taken away by Li Yu had nothing to do.
With Jade on defense, Manchester United's midfield advantage will be even greater!
Less than 10 minutes into the game, Portsmouth gradually lost control of the midfield, and the game returned to a state more familiar to Manchester United, breaking through the opponent's dense defense.
Redknapp was very smart and found that his change of tactics was not effective. He immediately waved his hand and switched to the old method of dealing with Manchester United, intensive defense.
You attack and I counterattack. Almost all Premier League teams will use this trick to deal with Manchester United. Only a few powerful players dare to attack Manchester United.
Li Yu followed the changes on the field and began to press forward continuously. He got in front of Tevez, and the two of them were in the middle, one behind the other, leaving the two teams with Manchester United's two talented wingers, Nani and
Giggs and Scholes were combing back and forth in the middle, not in a hurry to attack.
The old style, just like in previous Manchester United games, now it is Manchester United's turn to pry open the opponent's gate and bring the game into its own rhythm.
The scene was a bit dull, but this is when the true strength of a team is revealed. Manchester United's offense was methodical, with extensive mobilization of the two wings, while Li Yu stayed in the center, occasionally playing ball for his teammates, and the rest
Sometimes he is preparing to grab points, but Tevez occasionally takes the ball to cause trouble in the middle and shoots one or two long shots.
In fact, Tevez's job is the most suitable for Li Yu, but Ferguson just asked Li Yu to stay at the front to train Li Yu's comprehensive abilities for the future. Only Ferguson dared to make such an arrangement in the game. In actual combat
Training Li Yu's abilities is not something that ordinary coaches would dare to do, not to mention that this is still among the giants of the Premier League.
Believing in young people and using young people instead has always been a major characteristic of Ferguson. Li Yu is also strictly following the head coach's pre-match arrangements.
He finally got a chance to head the ball in the middle of the penalty area. Nani broke through from the wing and suddenly kicked the ball. It seemed to be passed and she was shot, and the ball was very fast.
In the crowd in the penalty area, Li Yu flew towards the top, but unfortunately the football hit the arms of Portsmouth goalkeeper James. James, who was still looking shocked just now, hugged the ball and stood up immediately, waving one arm to let his teammates attack quickly, and then put the ball into the arms of Portsmouth goalkeeper James.
The ball was thrown to midfielder Sean Davis for the latter to launch a quick attack.
Danger, while Li Yu was still holding his head in frustration, Portsmouth's offense had already passed their own half. Seeing that the situation on the field was threatening Manchester United, Li Yu quickly chased back.
This is the case in football matches. Excellent attacks often fail to result in goals, and the opponent's quick counterattack is the most threatening attack.
Portsmouth's attack speed picked up, but when the ball reached the feet of the team's forward, it slowed down and had to slow down. It was Crouch who took the ball.
The tall Crouch always likes to take a few steps after receiving the ball, showing off his outstanding footwork among tall players.
"Hurry up and pass the ball, fk!" Portsmouth head coach Harry Redknapp watched anxiously from the sidelines and could only curse.
Portsmouth's other forward is not a speed type, but a point-grabbing type Defoe. He has high shooting accuracy and is good at grabbing points. Lao Lei's idea is to quickly pass through the midfield, and Crouch uses his height.
Grab the first point and let Defoe take care of it.[
Now the attack stops when it reaches Crouch. Vidic is standing there watching, don't you like to show off? You show off slowly, and when the Manchester United teammates are back in place, it's too late to attack again.
Crouch finally realized his mistake and was about to make a beautiful pass. He thought very well and looked at Vidic without looking at the ball or the person. He just shot the ball directly from his feet, a bit like in basketball.
A common action of looking at one side but passing the ball to the other side.
The idea was good. After he raised his thigh, he didn't kick the ball. Only then did Crouch look at his feet. Where was the ball?
The ball had already been scooped away by Scholes who was returning to defense!
Manchester United instantly switched from defense to offense. Li Yu was still on the way to chase, but he immediately turned around and raised his hand to signal Scholes to pass the ball to him.
Ginger Head immediately throws the ball. As for the strength under his feet, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little stronger. Anyway, that kid can catch up!
In the blink of an eye, the figure of Manchester United's No. 9 seemed to be like a red lightning, passing through Portsmouth's defensive teammates. They were still looking at the red back, and then they realized, "Hurry up and chase!"
It was already too late to speak. Portsmouth goalkeeper James had already abandoned the goal and attacked, trying to stop Manchester United's attack.
Li Yu raised his head and glanced at the ball in the air. He realized that this time James' attack should be a 50-50 chance against him. Anyone could get the ball. Fortunately, the landing point was outside the penalty area and the goalkeeper could not touch the ball with his hands.
, you can only use your head, then your chances of getting the ball will be greater.
Both of them rushed forward to grab the landing point. James did not expect that Li Yu would be so fast. He made a mistake. James, who was a little unconfident, naturally raised his knee when he got up.
No one could touch the ball. Li Yu was hit directly in the waist by James' iron knee and fell out of the air.
"Fk! Red card!" Ferguson was sitting calmly on the coaching bench chewing gum. When he saw Li Yu being knocked down in the air, he immediately rushed to the sidelines and cursed loudly. He almost swallowed the gum in his mouth.
, otherwise I would have to add a few sentences below.
When the referee arrived at the scene of the incident, he first asked about Li Yu's injury, signaled the Manchester United team doctor to come in, and then took out a yellow card and directly reported James.
"Damn it, you're blind!"
Ferguson was so angry that he never failed to score goals. If Li Yu was injured again, Manchester United would really have no striker. It would be a joke for an Argentinian to face multiple fronts.
Of course, a yellow card can't calm the old Sir Alex's anger. Try another person. It's strange that the referee doesn't ask him to leave the field.
That is to say, the old Sir Alex was standing on the sidelines still talking to the fourth official who arrived. What could the fourth official say? He could only nod his head and say nothing to calm down the old man's anger first.
The team doctor wanted Li Yu to go off-field for examination, but he kept thinking about taking the free kick and did not agree. "Spray some painkiller quickly, there is no need for a stretcher!"
The team doctor lifted up Li Yu's jersey, shook the bottle, and immediately started spraying.
After cooling, a large purple dot immediately appeared where it was hit.
It was a heavy hit.
Li Yu stood up and moved her waist, signaling to the team doctor that they could leave.[
However, the Portsmouth fans at the scene burst into loud boos. They all thought that Li Yuzhen was pretending to cheat for a free kick, and how could he get up so quickly after being injured.
Giggs was already standing in front of the ball and Carrick was discussing how to take the penalty, "Can I try it?"
As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was Li Yu. This kid has good feet. He is the first free kicker when Ronaldo is not around. It is his ball. If he hadn't been injured, Giggs wouldn't be standing here. "Originally, he was the first free kicker."
It’s yours, of course there’s no problem!”
"No, no! The ball is scored, I'll buy you a drink!"
The referee blew his whistle and urged Li Yu to take the penalty quickly. He still took the penalty in the same way as when he competed with the Portuguese. He stood on top of the players and suddenly started to kick and twitch.
"Boom!" The sound of touching the ball was clearer than the whistle just now, and of course it was also powerful.
James only felt a gust of wind blowing by his ears, and the ball had already entered the net behind him.
The entire audience was stunned by this goal. Is this the reincarnation of Hercules?
It's so powerful. It's all about power and speed. It doesn't make any sense. You just can't react.
The camera completely recorded the entire process. There was no run-up, just twitching on the spot, and with a loud bang, the ball was scored!
"Well done!" Ferguson shouted and waved his arms, and the Manchester United bench burst into applause.
1:0, Manchester United took the lead away from home. Li Yu's free kick opened the door to Manchester United's first league victory.
Next, Portsmouth will return to the dilemma of the Charity Shield Cup. Manchester United, the leader, has already bared its fangs and is just waiting for its opponent to come to its lips.
