Although the whole process is complicated, from McCone to David? Silva to Kaka to McConn, the whole process seems to be very cumbersome, and if you add Villa and Ronaldo's off-ball running and attracting defensive attention, it will be a headache for countless people.

But in fact, all this happened in an instant, because after Real Madrid suddenly accelerated from McConn, the overall rhythm of the team, as well as the individual players with the ball, the rhythm also increased, and everyone almost relied on the first reaction to cooperate, without the slightest hesitation, so the cooperation was very fast, a little dazzling.

But McConn's sudden shot from the edge of the box was clearly visible to all.

The shot was powerful, the angle was right, the route was straight, and there was no subtlety in it, because McCone chose the safest and most sure way to get his feet, which also means that the Brazilian full-back was actually a little nervous, after all, the chances were too good.

No one defended, no one stopped, the ball went from behind Ferdinand, into the bottom left corner of Manchester United's goal, although Van der Sar realized it and wanted to save, but his body was not as good as a young man after all, his brain reacted, but his body still needed some reaction time, and by the time he could save, the ball had already been scored.

“goalllllllllllllllllll！！！！！”

"In the 21st minute, Real Madrid took the lead in the 21st minute to break through Manchester United's goal!"

"Douglas? McConn, a right-back from Brazil, scored the opener for Real Madrid!! ”

In the shouts of the on-site commentators, McCone excitedly rushed to the corner flagpole, under the stands of Real Madrid fans, excitedly clenched his fists and roared, venting his excitement, and behind him, Real Madrid players were desperately catching up and hugging him tightly.

"Real Madrid's coordination is so beautiful, dazzling, dizzying, not only exquisite individual skills, but also tacit team cooperation, and the overall speed is very fast, so that Manchester United just reacted, the goal was scored!"

Ferguson didn't look like much expression, he was still sitting in the home team's dugout chewing gum, but after scoring a goal, he poked his head out and subconsciously glanced at the away team's coach's box, Yang Cheng just shook his fist in celebration, and just turned his head to look at Ferguson, showing an abominable smile.

"!" Ferguson scolded indignantly, and even felt that the chewing gum in his mouth was simply light and tasteless, and he took a bite and sucked it out.

He's right, but the problem is that his players have a big gap with Real Madrid as a whole, especially in the midfield, and in this kind of real game, Manchester United's midfield will make them suffer.

But when you think about it, Ferguson also feels that he has a responsibility.

According to his own thoughts before the game, this game still has to play a defensive counterattack, attack after the opening, and strive to suppress Real Madrid, at least not let them control the game as they wish, Bayern Munich's biggest mistake is to give Real Madrid too much freedom, let them control the game, so it will be a miserable defeat.

But it is clear that Ferguson is not sensitive enough to Yang Cheng's adjustment, although he is aware of the threat of Xiao Xiaoluo on the left, but not on the right? Silva's move towards the middle gave plenty of sensitivity and, unfortunately, he scored after his first play against Patrice Evra.

Football is like that, every goal is full of chance, but there is also necessity!

There is another very important reason, which many people actually do not pay attention to, and that is the adaptation of the players to the league.

La Liga is the most popular league for the kind of small and fast play, even if it is defense, it is the kind of small and fast play, and it is difficult for rough players to gain a foothold in La Liga, but the Premier League is the kind of general emphasis on high confrontation and fast-paced extensive play, not that the Premier League does not pay attention to technology, but is relatively rough compared to La Liga. ..., La Liga players who have adapted to the small and fast style of play, when facing more extensive Premier League players, especially tall and strong defenders, often have to pull a big cut from the frequency of action.

It is also called that the defenders cannot keep up with the pace and rhythm of the attackers!

Although Patrice Evra was able to hold David in one-on-one? Silva, but next to Brown and Rio Ferdinand, facing David? Silva and Kaka were clearly a little slower in terms of tempo.

If you use the naked eye, I'm afraid it's hard to see where the slowness is, but it's just a feeling, he is a little slower, maybe only half a beat or even a tenth of a beat, but it's slow, it's passive.

So many people say that Yang Cheng is the king of the cup, because he is very smart, very good at controlling the situation and rhythm of the game, the Premier League plays La Liga, he will try his best to drag the rhythm into the Premier League's extensive fast-paced attack and defense, your La Liga team is bullish, once you always play in the fast-paced transition, you are not as good as the Premier League!

But now, he is playing the Premier League in La Liga, he is slow at the beginning, first stabilizes, and then slowly drags the rhythm into the small and fast style of play that La Liga is good at, because La Liga has an advantage in this aspect.

Under Real Madrid's tactical play, Ferdinand, Brown, O'Shea, Fletcher and others look so bulky and slow, but players like Evra who play with a small and fast style of play adapt better.

Another way to deal with Real Madrid's tactical play is to learn from Mourinho.

After Chelsea eliminated Real Madrid last year, Yang Cheng once made fun of Mourinho's tactics in private, because he simply shrunk 32 meters directly, I don't want anything, I just need to stand in formation, everyone concentrates and puts into defense, I defend to the death, and I don't want anything else!

Under this shameless tactic, Mourinho won, Yang Cheng lost!

Ferguson himself knows very well that Mourinho's tactics are still effective against Real Madrid, but he is reluctant to do so, and he prefers to be able to kill Real Madrid through tactics.

But now it seems that his start is in place, but Yang Cheng has too many backhands, and he can't parry.

However, although Real Madrid took a 1-goal lead, Yang Cheng was not greedy for success, he still controlled the team steadily, signaling to take his time, first control the initiative and rhythm of the game in his own hands, and then slowly press up.

Despite Ferguson's extreme displeasure, he still has to face the reality that Manchester United's position is indeed losing ground, and if he does not retreat, the tragedy of Bayern Munich will happen to him, which he cannot accept.

And as soon as it is retracted, Real Madrid's initiative advantage is even more obvious.

However, Manchester United's overall strength is a cut above Bayern, and Real Madrid's handling of Manchester United cannot be as easy as dealing with Bayern Munich, especially with Ferguson, so although Real Madrid controls the advantage, it does not create much threat.

The most threatening thing was that from the 38th minute, Real Madrid once again played a hole in Manchester United's defence, Ronaldo forced a break down the left and cut inside to pass the ball to the middle, Villa cut in from close range, but Van der Sar saved the ball steadily.

After the Dutch goalkeeper got up from the ground, he was very dissatisfied with the team's defense, and he believed that both Ferdinand and Brown should be the first to watch Villa and Kaka, but the central defenders gave the Real Madrid striker too many opportunities.

But the central defenders also had difficulties, because Real Madrid's attack was too erratic.

Villa is not a regular center forward, he often pulls out of the box to retreat to receive the ball, often pulls to the side to get the ball to break through, and occasionally has to run empty to create opportunities for teammates to plug in, so sometimes you can't figure out what he's trying to do, and he's fast, flexible, and has no problem running around, but Ferdinand and Brown are tall and strong, and when they run a lot, they consume a lot of energy and can't keep up. …,

The same goes for the problem with Kaka!

This is the difficulty of Ferguson, who has adapted to the atmosphere of the Premier League with strong confrontation and hard bridges, and when encountering Real Madrid with this delicate style of play, Manchester United's defensive players suffer a lot, especially when the rhythm is controlled by Real Madrid.

However, although Real Madrid played a round of attacking frenzy before the end of the first half, they failed to break through Manchester United's goal again, and finally could only enter the break with a score of 0:1.

…………

…………

"You guys did a great job in the first half, guys!"

As soon as he walked into the dressing room, Yang Cheng directly praised the player's performance, although the first half was only 0:1 to take the lead, but Real Madrid's overall performance was very good, and the control of the whole game was very good.

In a football game, the score can never completely reflect the advantage on the field, sometimes you are ahead by a large score, but the process can be very dangerous, but sometimes you are clearly 1 point ahead, but it gives people the feeling that they have taken the advantage.

United throughout the first half, except for Carlos Tevez's shot at the beginning that led to Casillas' escape, and Wayne Rooney's follow-up shot was blocked by Thiago? Except for Silva's stabbing, there is no threat at all, on the other hand, Real Madrid has dismantled Manchester United's tricks again and again, and the advantage is very obvious.

"Thiago, how do you feel?" Yang Cheng cares more about Thiago? Silva's injury.

Chris told him that the injury doesn't look like a big deal, but after a hard kick, the injury is certain, especially if the calf muscles will be damaged, which needs to be tested, but Thiago? Silva felt that it was okay and could continue to play, so Yang Cheng continued to let him play.

"It feels good, chief!" Thiago? Silva did well and was in a good mood, smiling and nodding.

"That's good!" Yang Cheng was also relieved, but after he went back, he must let Chris give Thiago? Silva had a full check-up, after all, there are many players who have been injured in the game, but they don't feel it, so that they wait until the future to suddenly come out and cause irreparable damage.

Yang Cheng has always been very careful in this regard, because he knows that injuries are the enemy of any team.

'Our tactics in the first half worked very well and we played well on both wings but it wasn't enough, we will definitely adjust at half-time and we will not give us as much freedom in the second half, we have to adjust as well.

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng looked at Kaka, "Ricardo, in the second half, your position is a little more right, cut from the ribs to the right, and hit Evra's back!" ”

Kaka nodded, he was better than David? Silva's strengths are speed and break-through ability, David? Silva looks more of a playmaker and passer, but Kaka's ability to break through, especially his pace, will be more dangerous than the Spaniard.

"David!" Yang Cheng pointed to David? Silva, "Drop back, stay in the middle, be more responsive, see what I mean?" ”

David? Silva nodded, he knew what Yang Cheng meant, that is, he was responsible for linking the double back and attacking players in the front court behind him, so that Kaka and Xiao Xiaoluo could form a breakthrough and threat on the two wings, and burst the two wings of Manchester United.

"Villa!" Yang Cheng looked at David? Villa, "You retreat more in the second half, walk less on the wings, pull out of the penalty area, keep a certain distance from Kaka and Silva, avoid the real and the false, don't fight with them!" ”

Villa nodded in agreement.

"Villa pulls out of the penalty area, can be more involved in the operation of the midfield, and can even drop back a little deeper, if the opponent's two central defenders follow, Cristiano and Kaka will play behind them, and Villa will also wait for the opportunity to run forward and return to the penalty area!" ..., these three players have a very fast speed advantage and strong individual ability, with the strength of the three of them, once they rush in, the threat is really not ordinary, Manchester United wants to stop it, especially outside the penalty area There is also a David who is good at passing the ball? Silva.

Almost all Premier League defenders have a characteristic, strong frontal defensive ability, tall stature, and obvious advantages in defending high balls, so Real Madrid cannot play this tactic with Manchester United, avoiding their defensive strengths, walking on the ground and running to penetrate, and playing against their slow turning and inflexible physical characteristics.

"If United's two centre-backs don't come out, it's okay, we'll ......be here," Yang Cheng drew Manchester United's 433 tactics, and then drew a horizontal line between the back line and the midfield, "...... Strangle them! ”

It may be difficult to understand this, but to put it simply, the original number of midfielders is about the same, one to one, which is considered an equilibrium state, but if Villa retreats out of the penalty area and participates in the activities of the midfield, it will break the balance in numbers, and Real Madrid will have an advantage, in this case, Manchester United will be very passive in both attack and defense.

Just imagine, once Ferdinand gets the ball, he doesn't dare to press too much, resulting in a slight distance between him and the midfielder, and there are Real Madrid players in the middle, in this case, where does he pass?

There is no doubt that in an instant, the first reaction is what England players do best, long passes!

The result of strangling the link between the back line and the midfield is that Manchester United's central and defensive links are disjointed.

The current situation is favorable to Real Madrid, because Real Madrid has steadily suppressed Manchester United, so what Yang Cheng has to consider now is not to let Manchester United have a chance to breathe, so that he can't play his own characteristics and advantages, and in turn, give full play to his own characteristics and advantages, so as to be able to win this game!

To be honest, the Premier League is strong now, there is nothing to say, but in the end, whether it is in the overall technical and tactical details of the team, or in the individual technical skills of the players, the Premier League is not comparable to La Liga, and even in many cases, even Serie A is not comparable.

The image point is that the gap between the Premier League and Serie A and La Liga in terms of technical skills is a bit like Gerrard and Kaka, Ronaldinho, Carrick and Pirlo, Xavi, such a gap does not seem obvious in many cases, but in fact, it really exists.

Of course, Arsenal is an alternative and doesn't count.

However, the Premier League does have a tendency to shift in this direction, but it will take a long time to make up for it.

But Yang Cheng can also understand that each league has the characteristics of each league, and the Premier League pursues technical details, but it must also be based on his own environment to pursue, no matter how it changes, it cannot be the same as Serie A and La Liga, which is their unique characteristic style.

So in the final analysis, the battle for the Champions League is about who can play their own style better and suppress the opponent's style.

It's like Real Madrid suppressing Manchester United in this game, if you can't suppress it, let Manchester United go crazy, the speed will rise, and it will become a Premier League-style play, then Real Madrid is very likely to lose the game.

That's why home advantage is so important!

…………

…………

Back on the playing field, Ferguson surprisingly did not make any substitutions.

Yang Cheng has the advantage, it is not surprising that he does not adjust, but Ferguson does not adjust either, so it is obvious that he intends to stabilize the current situation first, and then slowly find an opportunity to counterattack.

In this case, he will either not be replaced, or he will die if he is replaced!

Yang Cheng couldn't guess what Ferguson was thinking and how he would make adjustments, but he knew that he had to continue to maintain the tactics and style of play in the first half and continue to press Manchester United. ..., Ferguson must have adjusted, Manchester United's three lines began to consciously retract, especially in the two wings, Tevez and Park Ji-sung are more actively involved in the defense of the wings, and even dare to retreat to the back line as full-backs, which can be described as very resolute.

Although there was no performance in the first half, Ferguson still left Scholes and Anderson in the midfield, no one knows what calculations they are playing, what Yang Cheng can do is to play his own tactics as well as possible and strive for the next city.

Taking advantage of the kick-off, Real Madrid quickly picked up the situation at the end of the first half, continued to maintain pressure on the Manchester United defence, and also actively opened up the two wings, Kaka and Ronaldo created a lot of chances on the two wings, and Villa also frequently pulled out of the penalty area, causing a lot of trouble for Manchester United's defense.

As Yang Cheng said, Ferdinand and Brown are not able to follow Villa's retreat, and they are also very depressed if they don't follow, and they will not have good results in what they do, and they have a headache.

However, the Reds were much more solid than in the first half on three fronts, and Real Madrid kept the pressure on the attack after the opening period, creating a few dangerous situations, but still failed to score.

However, from the perspective of the situation, Real Madrid has a clear advantage, and if it continues, it is very likely that it will score again, it is only a matter of time, and Ferguson's side is obviously prepared.

"Dimitov and Ashley? Jan is warming up and is about to be replaced! Benitez reminded.

Yang Cheng also noticed that Ferguson's killing move was coming!
