Chapter 116 1+1>2
The ball flew off the line.
Dong Fangzhuo's active running and grabbing points have been done to the extreme, but his teammates are so far from breaking the goal.
Luck doesn't seem to be on United's side and Wayne Rooney didn't seem to have shooting boots with him today.
Annoyed, Rooney shook his head vigorously, obviously very dissatisfied with his performance just now.
He scored a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in the first leg, but this time it felt like he was always one step away from scoring.
But Rooney still gave a thumbs up, because the cooperation between Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo just now was so beautiful, but he didn't catch up with the landing point of the ball in the end......
All Rooney lacked was a goal, a little bit of good luck.
Fenerbahce fans in the stands were clearly pleased with Rooney's performance and immediately booed him as soon as he reached the top.
As long as Rooney continues to perform like this, they don't mind continuing to send such boos.
Manchester United continued to keep the pressure on Fenerbahce up front. The two midfielders, Fletcher and Kleberson, were enough to ensure that United were not at a disadvantage in possession, but with the lack of Ryan Giggs on the left in attack, Paul Scholes had to rely on Paul Scholes to organise the ball.
Scholes actually feels a bit like a midfielder.
Alex Ferguson's Manchester United are actually not very comfortable with the style of play in midfield, as evidenced by the previous purchase of Veron from Lazio.
Veron never played at the same level as a world-class striker at Lazio before he gave up.
Ferguson himself admits that he doesn't use the midfielder well. Although Paul Scholes is like now, Cristiano Ronaldo on the right is more important.
It was because of the existence of Ronaldo that Ferguson decided to change the formation.
Now the results are not as good as they are in training, and more runs are needed.
Fenerbahce confined Rooney to death, and there were few opportunities, even if they were missed by Rooney.
It wasn't like the last game against Southampton, where several players were able to interact well with each other.
Especially between Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo, it is obviously a lot less than the last game.
After all, there is still a lack of sufficient tacit understanding in cooperation, and many times, the two people have different ideas and different positions, and they can't cooperate with each other.
Thanks to Dong Fangzhuo's cleverness, even on the other side of the pitch, he was able to connect with Ronaldo.
This shows that the cooperation between Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo is far better than that of Rooney and Ronaldo.
Ferguson is not unaware of this, and if he had switched Dong Fangzhuo and Wayne Rooney, perhaps the effect would have been better.
Why hasn't he changed now, in fact, the reason is very simple, he just prefers Rooney in the middle. Because he believes that the reason why Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo can play such a tacit cooperation is because these two people often train together, and the tacit understanding is naturally high.
Although Rooney and Ronaldo were not good enough in the early stage, with the accumulation of cooperation time, the degree of tacit understanding will definitely get higher and higher.
But now the situation can't be opened, and Ferguson can only start Plan B. He was stubborn but not stupid, and Rooney and Dong began to swap places frequently.
Ferguson naturally couldn't think of another point, that is, Dong Fangzhuo not only trains with Ronaldo often, Dong Fangzhuo also has more than ten years of experience with Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's passing habits, his running position, and even his shooting timing, Dong Fangzhuo is all clear.
So when Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney switched places, the scene changed again.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still the same Cristiano Ronaldo, and after two one-two combinations with Fletcher and Paul Scholes in midfield, he still came to Fenerbahce's big penalty area.
Dong Fangzhuo is still the same Dong Fangzhuo, but he came from the left to the middle and right.
But when these two people stand on the same side, the effect is different from just now.
When Ronaldo dribbles the ball to the front of the big penalty area, Dong Fangzhuo often appears by his side as soon as possible and appears in the most suitable position.
For example, when Rooney was there before, Ronaldo always had to look up and observe before passing, but now Ronaldo is just about to make a move and is ready to pass, Dong Fangzhuo has already run in place......
Every time Ronaldo was blocked in his breakthrough and had to pass the ball, Dong Fangzhuo was always the guy standing near him.
After Dong Fangzhuo ran to him, he had already got two chances to shoot in a row at the front of the big penalty area.
But two shots, one from a bad angle, was saved by the goalkeeper and the other was blocked by a defender.
alas
Dong Fangzhuo was also very annoyed.
If the ball can't go in, it means that his long-range shooting ability is not good enough, and his shooting power is not good.
Otherwise, like the real heavy gunners in the Premier League, such opportunities can also be sent into the goal.
He believes that if the angle and intensity he was pursuing just now were better, the chances of scoring would have been greater.
The job of long-range shooting, it doesn't mean that you can practice it if you want to, otherwise everyone in the world is a master of long-range shooting, and some people can't do it in their lifetime, such as letting Inzaghi go to long-range shooting?
It's not realistic.
But Dong Fangzhuo is different, he is not a striker of Inzaghi's type, or he doesn't just want to be his type.
The shooting power is there, the shooting accuracy is okay, and he is consciously improving his ability in this area.
The quality of these two shots was not bad, in fact, the Manchester United fans in front of the TV cameras were already screaming to the climax......
It's just not enough for Dong Fangzhuo.
Another point is that the goalkeeper is too good, as the so-called weak team goalkeeper, the more the goalkeeper of Fenerbahce shows the more heroic, the more it shows that the quality of Manchester United's shots is high.
Although there was still no goal, Ferguson felt a little relieved.
At least he came up with a new point of view - Roonega Ronaldo, maybe 1+1=2, this effect is actually very good.
But Dong Fang Zhuo plus Ronaldo, the effect is obviously 1+1>2.
This is the result, both on the training ground and in the game.
No matter how stubborn he is, he has to accept this fact.
Or wouldn't it be better to integrate these three people into a whole in the future to create a 1+1+1>3?
Just to transform Rooney into a winger? Fixed Dong Fangzhuo in the center position?
Oh, this is ridiculous, it's completely out of my mind......
When he shook his head in his heart, Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo once again completed their cooperation in front of the big penalty area, but this time it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn to knock the ball with his heel to Ronaldo to complete the shot.
Cristiano Ronaldo's shot still didn't hit Fenerbahce's goal, but it tickled Ferguson's heart again......
Damn it, would it have to be an explosives pack to blow up Fenerbahce's goal today?
Knock –
No
Maybe the cannon can also ......
