Chapter 871: Ferguson's Intentions

In the first 10 minutes of the game, it was not Manchester United who played at home, but Manchester City.

Although United had the right to kick off, they didn't use the kick-off to create any chances, and they usually ended the attack.

However, Manchester City's attack is more dangerous than Manchester United's.

Or rather, it is the glorious appearance that makes Manchester City's attack more dangerous than Manchester United's.

From the very beginning of this game, the table of glory was very positive and conspicuous.

He runs tirelessly and has a very wide range of movement, which is why Manchester City can always pass the football to the feet of glory when attacking. So that the glory can create a threat.

"It's really the first Manchester derby that I played in, and he was very excited, as if he wanted to make up ......for the regret of not being there," He Ping said.

Naturally, CCTV will broadcast this game live. The FA Cup was not qualified to be broadcast live, so he missed an opportunity to witness that great goal in the studio.

Ferguson thought that Cristiano Ronaldo had been in very good form recently, and his mood relaxed a lot.

But soon he was back to chewing gum desperately, and even faster.

Because Glory had a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, if it hadn't been for goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar reaching out at the most crucial moment, the goal might have gone in......

Ferguson's nervousness regained as he quickly chewed his gum again.

Ten minutes of play was enough for him to draw a conclusion that the glory was in good shape and had a lot of fighting spirit.

Such glory is dangerous......

He must be contained.

How to curb it?

Ferguson stood up from the dugout and then descended the steps to the sidelines, where he gestured to the players.

Soon his latest instructions reached the pitch.

Ferguson's strategy is nothing mysterious and novel, which is to push Glory to the side and not let him move in the middle.

Although Glory is also a threat on the wings, it is not always as threatening as in the middle.

Ferguson is well aware that he can't afford to leave Glory without a threat, and no manager in the world has ever dared to say he can do it.

A good coach can do a good job as long as he can make the threat of glory a little lower.

It is impossible to completely eliminate the threat of glory.

For example, it is impossible to completely eliminate the error, and the error can only be narrowed to a controllable range.

Glory is certainly capable of threatening United's goal on the wings, but that threat is much lower than he is in the middle and in the box.

As long as you don't let the glory be right in front of the goal, whether it's in the box or outside the box.

Just look at the shot just now, it was the threat caused by Glory's direct long-range shot in the middle.

When the game resumed, Glory quickly sensed a shift in United's defensive strategy.

They weren't as strict about their side of the ball as other teams, who hated having to let themselves get the ball anywhere on the pitch.

But that's not the case at Manchester United, when you show up on the wing, you're only with one person.

But once you want to go to the middle, you will immediately fall into the siege of Manchester United.

Cheng Dù, who paid attention to his defense, immediately rose more than a notch.

If he's in the middle, let alone shooting, it's hard to even control the ball well.

Sometimes he had to do everything he could to keep the ball from breaking, but he lost the best chance to attack, he couldn't shoot, and it was hard to pass the ball too well.

In short, United's defensive strategy in the middle is to try not to let Glory pose a threat here, even if he has to shoot at the end, he has to interfere with him, make him miss shots, and if he wants to pass the ball, then force him not to pass the ball that threatens.

The shape of the football game is changing at any time, as long as they can delay the glory for one more second in the middle of the penalty area, maybe the object of his pass is offside.

The effect of this is still quite obvious, and it will soon be difficult for Glory to get any more good opportunities in the central area.

City's attacking threat has also dropped.

The frequency of Ferguson's mouth squirming slowed down.

Now let's take a look at Cristiano Ronaldo's watch......

He set his sights on the Portuguese, his beloved will.

Although this love general is becoming more and more ambitious, it is becoming more and more difficult to manage. But Ferguson has his own plans, and he wants to use the title to keep Cristiano Ronaldo, so that he knows that what he gets at Real Madrid can be obtained at Manchester United.

In terms of influence and popularity in the world, Manchester United is no worse than Real Madrid, and even higher than Real Madrid.

In terms of titles, Real Madrid has completely suppressed Barcelona in the league, while Manchester United is currently ranked first in the Premier League, as long as they can beat Manchester City, they have a good chance of winning the title early. In the Champions League, Real Madrid were eliminated at the end of the eight-sixties, while Manchester United made it all the way to the final, and if they can beat Barcelona, they will become the first team to successfully defend the title after the Champions League restructuring.

In the FA Cup, Manchester United also reached the final against local rivals Manchester City. In other words, Manchester United are now hoping to win the treble again since 1999.

Ferguson was holding back his strength to do so.

He believes a treble win will be enough to keep Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.

What's good about going to Real Madrid?

Manchester United is your boy's home!

Cristiano Ronaldo's cousin is indeed active and positive, and he seems to have received the stimulus of glory.

Ten minutes into the game, it turned out to be Manchester City, who was fighting away, and Manchester United was in danger in front of the goal.

And in Manchester City's attack, Glory is the most active one.

This made Cristiano Ronaldo very unhappy.

In his heart, this game is actually a heads-up between him and Rongguang.

Not only does he have to beat Manchester City, but he also has to completely overwhelm the glory on his personal record!

With that in mind, Cristiano Ronaldo fired a long-range shot that forced Joe Hart to make a brilliant save!

"Ronaldo!! Nice shot! It seems that Cristiano Ronaldo is really on a good date today! Whatever watch Rong comes out, he will also take out what watch xiàn! Blessed are the viewers who are watching this game! John Mortensen said excitedly.

Everyone wants to see a good matchup, not just for the team, but also for the stars.

Football always carries some personal heroic romanticism, and the duel of the star's personal opinion is also a major element that attracts everyone's attention.

In the Middle Ages, knights dueling each other were portrayed as very romantic by writers.

This kind of heads-up on the football field is also very similar to the knight duel in the knight novel.

A direct conversation between two of the best players in the world, who is better?

Is it the former World Footballer of the Year Glory or the current World Footballer of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo?

Although the glory was stifled by Manchester United's defence, Cristiano Ronaldo's cousin became more and more active.

In the 21st minute, he almost broke the door with another header in the box, if it hadn't been for the help of City's goalpost......

There was a loud sigh at Old Trafford, lamenting that Cristiano Ronaldo's goal had not been reached.

Cristiano Ronaldo himself also held his head in his hands, looking very annoyed.

"Ronaldo is out of luck! The ball hit the post! But if this trend continues, he will definitely score sooner or later! ”

The fans in the stands also chanted Cristiano Ronaldo's name again after lamenting him, cheering him on and encouraging him.

There are also fans holding signs with the slogan "There is only one Ronaldo in the world" to express their support for Cristiano Ronaldo.

After the original Ronaldo has completely faded out of the mainstream vision, the most famous "Ronaldo" in today's football is indeed the Portuguese in front of him.

Manchester United deserves to be the team that can be ranked first in the league.

Their ability to take their chances was strong, and defensively they kept the glory at bay in the middle and put City's side in a stalemate.

If it were any other team, even if they managed to keep City's attack in a brief stalemate, they would have almost exhausted their strength, so it was just a matter of keeping their goal from conceding. But in the face of City's powerful attack, how could they not concede a goal throughout the game?

In the end, they will still be breached by Manchester City, and the previous defense must be meaningless.

What sets United apart is that they are able to slow down City's attack for a while, while they can also threaten City's goal.

What is the purpose of defense? In a lot of cases, it doesn't mean that you have to keep the whole game without conceding a goal, that's ideal. Defending is more often used to be able to withstand the opponent's attack in the game, and then ...... Provide opportunities and possibilities for your own attack. Once you can score, you can break the deadlock on the pitch and tip the balance of victory in your favor.

The reason why Manchester United can be the team that is at the top of the league is because they have the ability.

Even against Manchester City.

After City's attack stalled, United's attack was playing well and getting closer to scoring.

In the 25th minute, United launched their attack after once again fending off a Manchester City attack.

In this game, because of the activity of Cristiano Ronaldo, he entered the penalty area many times and appeared in front of the goal, so Klose and other positive Indian center forwards had to be squeezed to the side by Cristiano Ronaldo.

But fortunately, he used to play on the wing when he was in Kaiserslautern and Werder Bremen, so he didn't get to the wing and get to nothing.

And Klose is the kind of person who is very low-key and humble, he can make green leaves for glory when he was at Werder Bremen, so when he needs to make some sacrifices for Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester City, there is nothing wrong with it.

Klose, who was pulled to the side, made a feint to pass the football to Rafael who was inserted from behind him, and the deceived Manchester City's left-back Sun Hai focused on Rafael's body, but Klose suddenly crossed directly!

No one expected that the centre-forward, who had scored thirteen goals in the league, would suddenly cross it.

Manchester City, for their part, did not know enough about Klose, only that he played as a central striker, but did not know that he had also played as a wing-back before......

Klose's cross was of such high quality that the ball arced through the air and flew near the penalty spot.

There, Cristiano Ronaldo has jumped high! Then shake your head at the football and hit the goal!

The ball flew straight to the back of the net, and goalkeeper Joe Hart struggled to make a save, but he couldn't get enough to watch the ball fly into his own goal......

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo! He took the lead for Manchester United! ”
