Chapter Seventy-One: The Worst Start
Leak!
Now Ryan Giggs is the biggest hole in Degan's eyes, and it is undeniable that the Welsh veteran was once the most famous wide player in world football, but that was once, for now, he is old, old enough to be bullied at will.
Before the game, Deegan and Prandelli's plan was to focus on the area of Giggs's defense, and by breaking down a little, the entire United defence was thrown into disarray.
"Luca! Later, as long as you get the ball, you will rush towards the area where Giggs defends, whether you succeed or fail, you just have to keep rushing, let that old guy, himself mess up first! ”
Modric also glanced at Giggs, his expression was very relaxed, and it was clear that this task was not difficult for him: "Don't worry! Captain! I know what to do! ”
Digan then said to Montolivo: "Ricardo! It's the same thing for you, to assist Luca and to attack Ryan Giggs, and if we have to bring him down in the first half, then the rest of the game will be much easier! ”
Fiorentina sent the ball to the touchline, and after a few passes, Modric was already in position at the feet of Fellaini, and Digan saw this and began to cut forward.
After 10 minutes of being beaten by United's three-board axe, it was time for Fiorentina to counter-attack.
Offensive!
Digan waved to his teammates behind him, and the signal had been sent out, and it was time for Fiorentina to perform!
Manchester United! Are you ready?
Fellaini sent the ball out, after Modric got the ball, he broke through with the ball directly along the middle, and the direction of the attack was the area guarded by Giggs, Giggs who defended him couldn't keep up with the speed of the Croatian genius at all, and was left far behind, so that Manchester United's central defense became a vacuum in an instant, Modric observed the running position of his teammates, and before Anderson came up to make up for the defense, he kicked the ball and stuffed it directly to the right side of the penalty area. Immediately grabbed in front of Carrick's defense, 7 meters in front of the goal, stabbed with his right foot, although Van der Sar's reaction was very fast, a one-handed pounce, and his fingertips rubbed the football, but the football still rolled into the near corner, 1:0.
After the goal, Digan shouted and roared and rushed out, and the ecstatic Fiorentina players stepped forward to stop him, but no one could catch up with him.
The Stadio Olimpico in Rome also completely exploded at this moment, and the Florentina fans cheered and shouted wildly, and everyone who knew and didn't know each other hugged each other.
Manchester United fans looked incredulous, just now their team was still attacking around Fiorentina's penalty area, and even suppressed Fiorentina in the half of the pitch and couldn't move, why did they concede a goal in the blink of an eye?
Ferguson angrily kicked a water bottle next to him after Degan's goal, and before the game, he thought of everything, but he just didn't expect Fiorentina to score so early.
Fiorentina tore through his carefully arranged defence with just a few very jealous passes, and it looked like the best defensive team in Europe this season was almost like a piece of paper, and Fiorentina only needed a light stab to completely break it.
This goal made Ferguson's pre-game plan completely bankrupt, Ferguson's original plan was to launch a wave of onslaught after the start of the game, and strive to score goals, if there is no way to score, the next game, adhere to the tactics of steady and steady, after all, Florence's attacking strength, the whole of Europe is obvious to all, and Fiorentina to attack, it is obviously very unwise, but now Ferguson's plan is obviously unable to continue.
If you want to win this game, the only way for Ferguson is to attack, attack, attack again!
Try to equalize before the end of the first half!
But is it possible?
Ferguson's loophole in the lineup has been seized by Fiorentina, unless Ferguson makes adjustments now, otherwise, this loophole will only be amplified as the game progresses, and it will continue to be seized and exploited by Fiorentina.
"Probably no one expected that Fiorentina scored in the first attack in the real sense, just now Giggs made a mistake in the defense, completely lost his position, and failed to keep up with Modric, but he can't put all the blame on Giggs, after all, his current age, let him mark the young Modric, it's still too reluctant! I think Sir Alex Ferguson should make an immediate adjustment, otherwise Ryan Giggs alone would have killed Manchester United! ”
The commentator's words, of course Ferguson will not hear, at the moment he is standing on the sidelines with a frown, his heart is also hesitating, just now Giggs leaked people, he didn't see it, but this old Scottish man still stubbornly believes that leaving Giggs on the field is more useful, so if you really want to adjust, which position should be moved?
After Digan scored, Prandelli turned and went back to the dugout, high-fived Antonelli, and took the lead in just ten minutes, and the next thing to worry about is Manchester United, as long as Manchester United becomes impatient, then the next time, but Fiorentina will be in control.
"Old fellow! Get ready to celebrate! Prandley said with a relaxed face.
Antonelli was stunned, he had never seen Prandelli so confident, Prandelli's personality has always been to plan everything for the worst, but this time, only ten minutes into the game, Prandelli had already put the burden off his shoulders and was ready to wait for the arrival of the championship celebration.
"You mean, we're going to win, right? But now the race has just begun! ”
Prandelli smiled: "If Ferguson makes a change in time, there will be changes in this game, but the stubborn lord will never admit that he made a mistake, even if he finds out himself, in order to save face, he will not be the first to make adjustments, this is the flaw of his character, it just so happens that this shortcoming is used by us, as long as we can maintain the lead until the end of the half, then we will win!" ”
Prandley looked at the field, the players were still celebrating, and turned his head to look at Ferguson again, the old man's face looked a little gloomy and scary.
Prandley smiled and said secretly in his heart: Is face more important than the champion? If that's the case, I'll laugh at this championship!
