591 Blitzkrieg
readx;
When Kaka scored again for the Red Rebels in the 41st minute, the suspense of the first half was lost, and Ferguson did not choose to adjust at this time, and the remaining minutes turned into cutscenes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Webber blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the players from both sides walked off the pitch one after another, but the mood looked very different, with every Red Rebels player looking elated as if they had already decided the victory in advance, while the United players looked depressed.
But when Ferguson walked into the players' tunnel, he saw Mourinho proudly hugging the players one by one, and a sneer flashed in his mind, and then walked in, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Throughout the first half, the performance of the Red Rebels was almost impeccable, although the possession was not as good as Manchester United, but whether it was in the pass success rate or the number of shots on goal, the Red Rebels overtook Manchester United with an absolute advantage, although the Red Devils had five shots on goal in the first half, but none of them could threaten the Red Rebels' goal, which is indeed a very bad statistic."
"On the other hand, the Red Rebels have 8 shots on goal, 5 shots on target, and 2 goals have been scored, the efficiency of the Red Rebels can be seen, and I believe that if it weren't for Van der Sar's excellent performance, I am afraid Manchester United would have conceded more goals."
"It should be said that Manchester United's performance can not be described as hard, but the Red Rebels have suppressed Manchester United by virtue of the right time and place, so that Manchester United can not play their own rhythm, can only be pulled by the Red Rebels, although they control the ball, but can not convert the possession rate into a threat, at this time, the possession rate for Manchester United, is equivalent to a hot potato, you can't lose it."
'Now for Alex Ferguson, all it takes at half-time is to try to get the rhythm back of Manchester United, or how to convert possession into goals.
Hear Andy? Gray said this, Martin? Samuel burst out laughing.
"Andy, have you noticed that today's wet and slippery weather with heavy rain has caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United, especially the second goal, Brown actually slipped and fell, not only him, but also Ferdinand, Senna and others have slipped and fallen a few times, obviously they are not used to this kind of slippery field."
"On the other hand, if you look at the Red Rebels, they seem to be more comfortable with this field than Manchester United, and it stands to reason that their style should be more limited by the slippery field, but why are they doing better?"
Andy? Gray was taken by Martin? Samuel reminded him of this, and realized that this was really the case.
Could it be ...... "Andy?" Gray wasn't stupid and immediately guessed a little.
'Yes, I can guarantee that Mourinho must have trained for a long time on the same or close pitch, so that the Red Rebels players will be more comfortable on this pitch than the Manchester United players.
Andy? Gray suddenly realized, and at the same time had to admire Mourinho's attention to this kind of detail, "It must have been this week, the Red Rebels have been training in a closed way, they must have been doing this kind of simulation training at the Newton Heath training base, I heard that the field and drainage system there are built in strict accordance with the standards of the Red Rebels stadium." ”
"It should be true, Mourinho must have read the weather forecast and knew that it would rain, so he made this decision to completely transform the factors that were not good for him into factors that were beneficial to him." Martin? Samuel also smiled convincingly.
"But what if it doesn't rain?" Andy? Gray asked rhetorically, if it didn't rain, wouldn't everything be wasted?
Martin? Samuel laughed, "It shouldn't be difficult for the Red Rebels, who have the advantage of being on their home turf, to create a water war, right?" ”
Andy? Gray thought about it, right, follow Martin? Samuel laughed, but in his heart he was angry and funny about Mourinho's tricks, and at the same time he admired them, and I believe that Ferguson is the same at this moment.
…………………… What Ferguson was thinking in his heart, few people could guess, not even Queiroz, but Mourinho's joy at this moment was written on his face.
The madman in the dressing room doesn't like to hide his emotions, he likes to be straightforward, laugh when he's happy, scold when he's unhappy, this is his style, and the players are used to this style of madmen, and they also figured out Mourinho's spleen.
"Guys, all I can say is that I can't be critical of your performance in the first half!" Mourinho's hearty laughter shows the joy in his heart at the moment.
Yes, 2-0 at home, even against Manchester United, Mourinho does not feel that he has any reason not to win, because this is the territory of the Red Rebels, this is a fortress that has never been breached.
The players were also excited about Mourinho's words, especially Xiao Xiaoluo, who was able to score in the first half, which had a lot to do with Mourinho's pre-match arrangement and training, this goal came so easily, so that his feelings were vented, especially when he saw Rooney's helplessness and anger when he went off the field, he was happy.
'But it's not the time to be happy, we have to stay calm, guys, our opponent is Manchester United, it's Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, it's an unreasonable team, crazy people, red devils, they're going to give us a fatal blow when we don't expect it, it's scary!'
Although Mourinho is on the road to victory, he has not lost his mind at all, he is like this, even when the team has a big win, he will not lose his mind.
The players were reminded by Mourinho that they still had a second half to play.
"Don't be careless, don't despise the opponent, this is the biggest enemy of the leader, guys, the second half is the real decisive battle, Ferguson must not be willing to lose this game like this, Manchester United players are not reconciled, they will definitely try to do something in the second half."
"We can't let them get what they want, in the second half we continued to play the same tactics as in the first half, but we have to play more calmly, John, don't get too close to the defense, drop back a little bit." Jose Mourinho reminded Terry.
Terry nodded in agreement, he is the core of the Red Rebels' backline, although he doesn't look as good as Curtis, although he is not as active as the two fullbacks, but everyone knows that he is the most trustworthy person in the Red Rebels' backline, the commander of the Red Rebels' backline, and he controls the forward pressure and contraction of the Red Rebels' backline.
The defensive line has shrunk a little, which naturally means that the Red Rebels do not want to push Manchester United too hard, and the forwards and midfielders must also retract appropriately so that they can continue to keep the three lines compact.
Although Mourinho asked his players to be careful, after the 2-0 win, it was difficult for the players to be unhappy.
Just think about it, with this win, the Red Rebels will be crowned with a second title of the season, one step closer to Mourinho's goal of a quadruple, and with Manchester United and an early league title, the Red Rebels can devote all their energy to the FA Cup and Champions Cup.
Many people say that the reason why the Red Rebels are ahead of the rest of the Premier League is not because the Premier League competition is not fierce enough, on the contrary, the competition in the Premier League is the fiercest in the five major European leagues, and the Red Rebels can achieve their current results because this team is too strong to be unbelievably strong.
As for the players of the Red Rebels, they want to use the quadruple crown to confirm the evaluation of the team, and even hope to win all the championships this year and complete the unprecedented dynasty feat!
But no one expected that the dream of the Red Rebels players would be poured cold water on Manchester United in the first minute after the start of the second half.
…………………… When referee Webber blew the whistle for the start of the game, Rooney kicked the ball back and Carrick handed it to Diego.
Diego took the ball in the middle, quickly adjusted the angle, and divided it to the left side, Robinho made a quick breakthrough on the left side, forced past McConn, and also avoided Beckham, who retreated, and then crossed the penalty area low, Rooney rushed to the horse, grabbed in front of everyone, and stabbed the goal, 2:1!
The whole process was done in a flash of lightning, from kick-off to goal, and it took less than 50 seconds for United to pull back a point, much to everyone's surprise.
Mourinho was in the coach's box, and he didn't even sit down with his buttocks, so he jumped up, and then saw Rooney's celebration of the goal, this guy was simply taking revenge on Xiao Xiao Luo's celebration just now, especially when he ran to Xiao Xiao Luo's neighborhood to demonstrate.
"This old immortal actually started a blitzkrieg!" Mourinho gritted his teeth and scolded.
After conceding the goal, Manchester United appeared to be in high spirits and frequently launched attacks against the Red Rebels.
This time, Ferguson changed his tactics in the first half, not obsessed with possession, on the contrary, played an English-style long pass and rush, as soon as he got the ball, he directly found the Red Rebels behind the two wings, and then used Robinho and Quaresma's speed and personal ability to take out the Red Rebels' defenders one-on-one.
Such an attack is inefficient and makes a lot of mistakes, but United don't care, because in Ferguson's view, it is tantamount to removing the burden from Manchester United.
"It's on the left side again, after Robinho started the second half, he was very active on the left side, and in a possession, one-on-one against McConn, eh, foul, McCone wanted to cut off Robinho's ball, but he tripped the opponent, it can only be said that Robinho's action frequency is too fast!"
Diego's indirect free-kick failed to threaten and the Red Rebels were very careful in this regard, with Jose Mourinho training before the game not allowing players such as Rio Ferdinand to find the right chance.
In the 52nd minute, Quaresma won the ball on the left side of the Red Rebels, shook off Evra with a realistic feint, and crossed into the penalty area, where Rooney had already taken advantage of the position and decisively half-turned to hit the goal.
But Rooney's shot was blocked by Terry who blocked it in time with his body, but the ball didn't go too far, Robinho won the ball on the left side, and the outside instep passed the ball into the box again, this time Diego inserted in the back row, and under the close interference of Fabregas, he volleyed and missed!
Despite failing to score with two consecutive shots, the Reds were forced to retract their defence after the second half, creating chances from both flanks, and the tactics of restraining the Reds in the first half were completely ineffective.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines, watching the back and forth between the Red Rebels and Manchester United, which looked lively and exciting, but for a manager, such an offensive battle was full of danger and murderous motives lurking everywhere.
Of course Ferguson wants this situation, after all, Manchester United fell behind 2:0 in the first half, but now he has recovered a goal, the more complicated the situation on the field, the more beneficial it is for Manchester United, plus this majestic rain has not stopped at all, the chaos is even more chaotic!
"Would you like to make a slight adjustment?" Cassel came to Mourinho's side and asked with concern.
If the Red Rebels played calmly in the first half and reassured everyone, then the second half was a turning point, with both sides evenly matched, but there was no lack of heart-pounding scenes for each other.
Now the lead is still the Red Rebels, but Manchester United was full of morale in the second half, not to mention recovering a goal, but also reversed the situation, and now the Red Rebels do not make adjustments, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be tied by Manchester United, or even reversed.
Who knows, Mourinho still shook his head, "No, Jim, let the back line retreat a little, the three lines stand in position, don't mess with yourself, our back line is not paper, Manchester United can break through if they want to?" ”
Kassel was stunned and immediately conveyed Mourinho's meaning to the pitch.
The players received the manager's latest instructions and immediately retreated slowly, the three lines remained compact, and United's attack was contained, but in the midfield, the combination of Beckham and Cesc Fabregas was slightly weak, while United were on a rampage, even using fouls to disrupt the Red Rebels.
However, after Mourinho's adjustment, the Red Rebels gradually stabilized the situation, and the two sides returned to a stalemate again, and Manchester United's idea of playing two wings also lost its power with the support of Xiao Xiaoluo and Messi.
Mourinho was also secretly relieved to see that the scene had stabilized, and looked nearby, Ferguson, like him, was drenched in the heavy rain and had no intention of returning to the coach's box.
"This old immortal is really insidious!" Mourinho sneered.
But it doesn't matter, although a goal was recovered, but the Red Rebels are still 2-1 ahead, and for the Red Rebels, this game can only get 1 point, they can win the championship in advance, but Manchester United cannot, if they want to prevent the Red Rebels from winning the championship, they must win the Red Rebels.
This will undoubtedly be a big challenge for Manchester United, and it will depend on whether Ferguson wants to win.
Mourinho has the advantage in hand, naturally he doesn't want to rush to change, on the other hand, Ferguson, after observing for a period of time, found that there is no good change, and finally couldn't help it, and took the lead in making the first substitution adjustment of this game!
