Chapter 083: Domineering Header! (2nd Update, Urgent Request for Commuter Pass)
The camera first showed Jiang Chenxi who finished the goal celebration, and then to David Moyes in the Manchester United coach's box.
This lens language is very profound.
"Jiang gave Manchester United a slap in the face with a goal." Lineker said, "This is the Jiang that Moyes can't look down on, but it is likely to become the last weight that crushes Moyes!" ”
Moyes stood on the sidelines, his hands on his chest, his face blank, his grey eyes looking at the pitch, no one knowing what he was thinking.
In this game, Manchester United must not be able to lose, and the result of the defeat is completely conceivable.
In addition, for Moyes personally, anyone on Dortmund's side can score, but Jiang Chenxi can't be allowed to score, and the better Jiang Chenxi performs, the more evidence will be used to criticize him after the game.
Afraid of something, Jiang Chenxi scored early, and Dortmund also took the lead.
Now, what to do?
Moyes's brain was racing.
He had to save himself.
……
When the game resumed, David Moyes made changes to his squad.
His tweaks were: Fellaini's position, which appeared in the centre-forward position, with Wayne Rooney and Welbeck feeding him shells behind him.
Valencia, on the other hand, retreated and appeared in midfield.
The change came as a surprise to the reporters in the media gallery: Marouane Fellaini appeared in the centre-forward position, taking advantage of the Belgian's header to get involved in the attack, which had happened before, but it was mostly a desperate tactic when the score was behind and time was running out.
But now that the game has only been going on for more than 20 minutes, Moyes has made such a tactical adjustment?
This is tantamount to completely overturning his own starting tactics.
"Moyes is still very aggressive." Some reporters were appreciative of this.
However, many more are shaking their heads.
"This tactical adjustment is tantamount to Moyes's self-denial of his starting tactics." Lineker said that in fact, United had played well before conceding the goal and he could not understand David Moyes' eagerness to deny his decision to start.
"This adjustment will either bring about a turnaround or a big failure." "Moyes is fighting for his life and he clearly knows what his fate will be if he loses. ”
……
Seeing Moyes' adjustment, Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp fell into deep thought.
Very quickly, Klopp made adjustments, a deepening of his previous tactics, to be exact.
Further pressing.
This time, though, it's a double press.
A key pressing target is Michael Carrick, who is the pivot of Manchester United's transition between attack and defence.
Another object of pressing is Rooney, Fellaini went to the front line, whoever will pass the ball to Fellaini must be Rooney!
Cutting off the line of contact between Rooney and Fellaini, Moyes's tactical adjustment has lost its effect, not only that, Manchester United's midfield three has now become a double back, less Fellaini, although Valencia has also retreated, however, Valencia is more inclined to move on the wing, Manchester United in the middle of the midfield defensive intensity is not as strong as before, this is also Dortmund's opportunity.
Jurgen Klopp's tactical instructions were quickly conveyed and the players made timely adjustments according to the coach's arrangement.
That's the discipline of this team.
This team, which has been coached by Klopp Tiao for many years, has a deep imprint on him, is very familiar and adaptable to his tactics, and is extremely obedient.
……
Valencia picked up the ball in midfield and he took two steps forward before passing it back to Ryan Giggs.
The Welsh veteran knocked the ball to Carrick and ran forward himself, intending to do a wall-banging combination.
Kyle immediately pressed up.
Carrick had intended to play a long ball directly to Fellaini and let the Belgian act as a bridgehead to play for Rooney and Welbeck, but when he was pressed, he had to settle for the second best thing and pass the ball to the wing.
Wayne Rooney rushes up to catch the football.
As soon as he stopped the ball, he was caught in the middle of the siege.
Durm and the retreating Shaheen caught him.
……
Wayne Rooney held Durm on his shoulders and controlled the ball at his feet, looking for space to get the ball out.
"Hey, here!" Welbeck's voice came.
Rooney lifted his toes and sent the ball towards the source of the sound.
He then continued to run down the flanks himself, waiting for Welbeck's pass to make the transition.
However, Rooney did not wait for football.
When he passed the ball, Shaheen stretched out his foot to block, touched, after the football flew up, the route changed, Welbeck was just about to come to pick up, he was hit from behind, when he stumbled, the man behind him came up, grabbed in front of him, and pushed the football out!
Hummels!
He gave up defending against Fellaini in the middle of the box and suddenly cut in to complete the tackle!
……
"Pretty up-and-coming!" Eric. Lange shouted, admiring that Dortmund had been very bold in defending, leaving Papastathopoulos alone in the box to defend Fellaini, and Hummels decisively stepped up to make the interception.
After the ball was pushed out, Kyle pulled back to pick it up, he chested the ball, and then passed the ball straight away.
Move the ball diagonally over a wide area.
Mkhitaryan cut in at high speed, stopped the ball on the run, then took two steps forward before suddenly pushing sideways into the middle.
Giggs come up and intercept!
Mkhitaryan changed his speed in dribbling, dodged the gap, and passed directly diagonally!
The ball went around behind Ryan Giggs on the turf and made an arc.
"Mkhitaryan pass – nice through pass!"
The football bypassed Ryan Giggs and reached behind the entire Manchester United backline.
The pass is made to the top of the arc of the penalty area.
……
Phil Jones, who was returning to the defense, panicked and fell to the ground and slid a tackle, hoping to block the football.
The ball skimmed past his sliding feet, Reus cut in at high speed, got the ball, he didn't pause, he went straight into the penalty area!
"Jones let go! He's hollowed out! Royce! Pass! ”
Dortmund's counter-attack was so sharp that everyone held their breath and stared at the United penalty area.
The ball arcs and flies into the Dortmund penalty area!
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang jumps up at the front post.
Vidic jumped with him.
Neither of them could reach the ball, which continued to fly to the back post.
……
Then, everyone saw Jiang Chenxi appear at the back point, he had already jumped, high in the air, as if he had known that the football would fly over the front point to the back point, he was ready to head the goal.
What about Ferdinand?
He's already jumping!
Who can top football?
The answer was soon revealed.
Ferdinand jumped even higher.
However, Jiang Chenxi, who judged the landing point of the football more accurately, stuck his position in advance, and he was a little further forward, closer to the football in the air.
……
Header Bombing!
was hit by Jiang Chenxi's football and slammed into the goal.
Then Jiang Chenxi felt a numbness and pain in his scalp, which was the header of Ferdinand on his side.
Jiang Chenxi let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground.
De Gea soared into the air and pounced on the ball in the air, however, his expression suddenly tensed, and he found himself unable to save the ball:
The ball grazed over his left hand, smashed onto the underside of the crossbar and then fell into the net behind De Gea.
The ball is in!
Two to zero!
……
Rio Ferdinand also landed at this point, staring at the football in the net in a daze.
Jiang Chenxi was pressed under him and struggled desperately.
Ferdinand hurriedly got up, and subconsciously wanted to say sorry to Jiang Chenxi, he pushed very hard from behind just now, which was likely to cause injury to the opponent, and he didn't care so much when defending just now, he didn't mean to hurt people.
Then, he saw Jiang Chenxi get up, touch the back of his head, and then run away happily like a rabbit......
