Football King Bale
Chapter 595: Transformation
From 1:0 to 1:2, in just six minutes, Manchester United seemed to fall from heaven to hell. This made the Manchester United players confused in the last few minutes of the first half, not knowing what happened.
And the home team is morale bursting, launched a tide-like attack towards Manchester United's goal, they really want to score another goal in the first half, completely defeat Manchester United. However, Manchester United's luck is good, AC Milan's two threatening shots, in the end did not form a break.
Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score on the court remained at 2:1, with the home team AC Milan ahead.
After returning to the locker room, the Manchester United players all looked downturned and lack of energy.
This is not surprising. In such a short period of time, from leading a goal to lagging behind, no one will find it a taste to change.
The same is true for Bell. This was the most difficult moment in the more than two years after he moved to Manchester United.
Although he was recuperated for more than a week because of his previous "injury", his physical condition was very good, but his teammates who played continuously showed fatigue from the outside to the inside.
For the past two seasons, Manchester United's performance has been unsatisfactory in the back line. The performance of this game has been particularly bad. Especially in the position of the central defender, Ferdinand has really been beaten.
Evans is still relatively young, plus he has no advantage in defending against high balls, and he did not play well in this game.
In the last season and before this season, Manchester United has been relying on a strong midfield attack to suppress opponents, thus covering up the poor performance of the back line. But in this game, the powerful Manchester United offensive end also did not give too good performance. Welbeck on the right still lacks sharp points. If the right side can create more pressure for AC Milan, then Bell will be a lot easier on the left side. But now the right side is a bit weak. AC Milan started to strengthen the defense on Manchester United's left side after conceding the goal, which made Bell a lot of pressure.
Sometimes, football matches are like this. Bell can't use this to blame his teammates, after all, they are either in an unsatisfactory state, or they have tried their best.
The impact of Van Persie's injury on Manchester United is too obvious. If General Fan is here, the front line composed of him, Rooney and Bell is really strong.
Welbeck's ability, even its potential, is still a bit mean for Manchester United.
………………
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Ferguson took the lead in substitutions and replaced Carrick with Kanter. Manchester United adopted a more firm contraction defense strategy.
Today, Kanter is not the first midfielder with a good offensive and defensive future, but judging from the games played this season, his defensive ability is already better than that of Carrick.
Originally, Ferguson eliminated Carrick and Modric, both midfielders who had good offensive organization ability, hoping to achieve good results on the road. For this reason, he even let Bell defraud AC Milan.
This tactic was indeed a success. Bell’s sudden start at San Siro Stadium disrupted AC Milan’s rhythm, but Van Persie’s injury, coupled with the fierce battle with Everton on the weekend, had a great impact on Manchester United. The effect of Lord's strategy is greatly reduced.
Ferguson clearly saw the fatigue of Manchester United players, so he made a staff adjustment in the midfield, and the tactics also changed.
AC Milan is naturally happy to continue to take the initiative to attack, they very much hope that they can get a sufficient advantage at home, it is best to be able to end the two rounds of the Champions League knockout in a game like Arsenal last season.
AC Milan created an opportunity in the first four minutes. Still, a pass from the side, Boateng headered the goal, but missed the far post.
The former Tottenham teammate of Bell has already got a lot of headers in this game. If he has a better ability to grasp the header, Manchester United has already been beaten.
………………
Subsequently, AC Milan continued to control the situation on the court, frequently creating opportunities. However, due to Manchester United's contraction of defense, it is difficult for AC Milan to easily pass the ball into the penalty area at the front of the penalty area, and there is no absolute chance to break the goal.
For AC Milan, the best opportunity occurred in the 57th minute.
Prior to this, Modric was awarded a yellow card against AC Milan striker Pazzini in the front of the penalty area, and AC Milan received a free kick about 30 meters from the goal.
Montolivo received a free kick and crossed his right foot to vigorously attack the ball. The ball hit the wall and bounced. The left foot of Boateng's big penalty area line turned to shoot and the ball entered the bottom right corner of the goal!
Just when AC Milan players rushed to the side of the court to prepare to celebrate the third goal of the match, referee Thomson blew the goal. He believes that before Milan Boateng scored, AC Milan player Passata handball foul first.
This penalty made the AC Milan players very dissatisfied. The stands at San Siro stadium were booing, but Thomson insisted that his penalty was correct.
In the process, Boateng received a yellow card because of his excessive words.
And then the slow motion on the big screen at San Siro Stadium showed that AC Milan players did handball first.
At that time, a free kick sent by Montolivo hit Manchester United's wall. To be precise, it was Welbeck's arm in the wall. During the rebound, it was blocked by AC Milan player Zapata. , Just in front of Boateng.
However, Welbeck's arm is clamped, while Zapata's hand is open.
………………
Although Manchester United escaped because of the opponent's own foul, the Manchester United players were still shocked by the cold sweat.
If you lose 1:3 on the road, it will be very difficult to return to the home court that round.
In this regard, Ferguson, who has been through the battlefield, is naturally clear, he immediately made adjustments to Manchester United's lineup, allowing Rooney to retreat behind Sneijder and form a three-back with Kanter and Modric. Bell also retreated and tied with Sneijder. And Welbeck became a single arrow, with a man in front, Manchester United changing the Christmas tree formation of 4321.
The fans of the home team in the stands of San Siro stadium looked at Manchester United's formation after the change and felt a bit strange. Because of this formation, it is famous for their team.
Ancelotti's love for Christmas trees is well known, but due to the Istanbul nightmare in the second half of the 2005 Champions League final, Berlusconi once ordered Anshua to use a double forward. Helpless in 2006, the nuclear warhead Shevchenko left the Premier League, Milan's strike line was stretched, Ancelotti had to reuse 4321 in the 2006-2007 season, which also achieved another glory for An Shuai.
The Christmas tree formation used by Ancelotti in the 2007 Champions League final is the most standard Christmas tree formation. Four defenders lined up in the backcourt. The two defenders must have a good assisting ability and also have important responsibilities in defense; three In the lower back, Pirlo is the brain center of the team and is responsible for the important task of organizing the offense. The protection of Gattuso and Ambrosini around him is also crucial in the game; both front waists are equal With great skills, not only can he deliver a sharp pass for the striker, Seedorf's long shot and Kaka's breakthrough are all weapons that the opponent taboos, and the forward Inzaghi will complete the final fatal blow in the penalty area.
It must be said that the lineup of Manchester United on the field today is quite in line with the requirements of the Christmas tree formation, except that the forward is slightly lacking in sharpness. If Welbeck was replaced by Van Persie, it would be perfect.
………………
With the change of Manchester United formation, Bell began to get more and greater degrees of freedom. He is no longer limited to the left, but cruising in any position in the frontcourt. Wherever there is a gap, he will go.
Welbeck filled the fulcrum of the field and was at the forefront. Although Heibei's ability is a bit poor, but the Negro gives him physical talent, the role of Fulcrum still plays well. The three backs composed of Kanter, Rooney and Modric are also obvious for the protection of the back line.
Manchester United gradually reversed the unfavorable situation on the court.
When the game reached the 73rd minute, Manchester United once again made a quick counterattack.
Valencia drove the ball along the right and drove into the 30-meter area of AC Milan. After seeing Bell pull to the right and opened the defensive position for him, he immediately chose to cut into the ribs~www.mtlnovel .com~ This is a tacit understanding between the two.
Ambrosini immediately stepped up and entangled Valencia, who immediately scored the ball to the right.
Bell stopped the ball in a hurry, and Constant did not dare to care about him, staring at him.
After Valencia passed the ball, he quickly ran over to meet the gap. Bell quickly passed the ball back to Valencia and suddenly accelerated himself.
At that moment, Constant was hesitant, thinking about whether to stare at Valencia or Bell.
This moment of hesitation prevented him from following Bell in time.
Valencia was so enlightened that when Ambrosini was in front of him, he scored to the bottom line. Bell and Constant are competing with each other for speed. Where the Guinean international is Bell's opponent, he is easily left behind.
After Bell caught up with the ball, a right-handed straight pass was passed. Welbeck blocked Pasata with his body at the front point and faced the ball with a head-shake.
Abbiati's reaction speed is not fast enough. He took the first step to determine the angle of Welbeck's attack, bent down, and even blocked the black header from close range.
But the ball didn't fly far, and Rooney, who was following him, grabbed directly before Montolivo and Montari. He shot directly and sent the ball into AC Milan with a strong long shot 'S goal, the game scored 22.
After Lu Xiaofan scored a goal, he was so excited that he looked up to the sky.
Manchester United players are rushing to celebrate Rooney. Bell also ran over and embraced the fat man enthusiastically, while also appeasing the Welbeck.
Heibei is really not an efficient scorer, otherwise, the ball like the one just shouldn't be saved by Abbiati.
