171 Fight only for the championship

"Deisler takes the ball on the right flank, gets rid of it with a nice turn, accelerates, crosses directly!"

Stam reacted quickly and cleared the ball in time, but Ballack stopped the ball steadily, but couldn't find another chance, knocking it back to Veron, who was behind him, and Kaiserslautern regrouped the attack.

With the shouts of the on-site commentators, the Kaiserslautern fans at the Camp Nou also launched a wave of victories, especially when Kaiserslautern organized an attack, the fans shouted hoarsely one by one.

Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines and watched silently, and beside him, Paul, Bayer, Tim Hank, Bremer and others were also staring at the game intently.

From the opening kick-off, the game was at a fever pitch with no buffer in between, and from the first minute there was an exhilarating and intense confrontation, with Kaiserslautern still in control, after all, the ball was sent from the feet of Kaiserslautern and Manchester United were holding on steadily.

"Wow." With Collina's whistle, the game was interrupted.

"It was Roy, a foul on Keane, Veron was tackled to the ground by him, it looked like he shouldn't be injured, but this area is remote, Kaiserslautern can only send a quick free kick to play a counter-attack, but Manchester United's defense is already in order to wait for them."

"Roy Keane's position is higher up than usual!" Paul, Byer nodded incessantly.

He hadn't noticed it before, but Yang Cheng asked him to pay attention, and this time he found out that Keane's position was moved to a position close to the front midfield, and it seemed that he was coming for Veron, while Scholes took on the responsibility of organizing in the back, and was also responsible for certain defensive tasks.

David Beckham barely stepped forward in this game, helping Scholes to sort out the midfield and actively participate in the defense.

When dealing with Kaiserslautern's midfield, Ferguson took a very ruthless countermeasure, that is, if he can prevent it, he will defend, and if he can't prevent it, he will foul, after all, he must give full play to Keane's role if he moves his position forward.

"It's not the way to go on like this!" Paul, Byer shook his head.

Keane's position moved forward, and Kaiserslautern's hinterland was suddenly buried with such a mine, which could explode at any time, after all, once Keane's position formed a broken ball, it was directly a counterattack.

Although Kaiserslautern's back three are equipped to deal with Manchester United's double striker, they have a considerable advantage in numbers, but once they are counter-attacked in key positions, it is a direct slash.

As he was talking, Veron was about to plan an attack after winning the ball once, but Keane stepped forward to interfere, Veron's pass was slightly off, and Scholes immediately handed it to the left after the early break was successful, and gave it to Giggs.

Gattuso got on the band, but Giggs dribbled close to the left and cut in quickly to form a sharp counter-attack.

"Giggs dribbled quickly down the left and was ready to play in, when suddenly there was a stop, Gattuso was shaken off, Giggs crossed, Dwight York took the position, but Lucio suddenly cut in from behind, jumped high and headed the ball out of the box."

"The two teams went back and forth in the first half, Kaiserslautern seemed to take the initiative, but they were never able to break down United's defence, and United's counter-attack never found the crosshairs!"

Both sides have restrained and targeted each other's tactics, so the game looks like a stalemate.

Yang Cheng also felt that he couldn't continue like this, so he came to the sidelines, waved his hand at Ballack on the field, and asked him to retreat a little, so that the entire midfield was in a position to meet each other, and strengthen the connection between Veron, Nedved and Ballack.

And Gattuso's responsibility is still to look after Ryan Giggs on the left.

If Beckham's long pass in the backfield, Yang Cheng is not so worried, then Giggs's breakthrough is enough to make people deadly, so Yang Cheng specially arranged Gattuso to be stationed on the right side in this game to limit the left side of Manchester United.

Ballack's position retreat, and the midfield iron triangle of Nedved and Veron have been re-formed, and the tacit understanding between them for many years has made Kaiserslautern's midfield operation smoother, especially in the face of Keane, Beckham and Scholes's pressing, a little more calm. ,

According to Yang Cheng's strategy before the game, Kaiserslautern in this game still attacked Manchester United's two wings, so Deisler and Denilson attacked Westbron and Gary respectively, and Neville's station.

Once the midfield is moving, there are more one-on-one opportunities for players on the wings.

Denilson's ability to win the ball on the left flank has made almost every defender in Europe fearful, especially with his almost magical footwork and incredible passing skills, which are enough to make anyone who marks him feel intimidating and unguardable.

It is precisely because of this that as soon as Denelson got the ball, Gary and Neville immediately leaned in as if they were facing a big enemy.

Calmly kicking the ball lightly, looking at Gary, Neville, and Denilson, who didn't dare to get too close, looked very patient on the left side, and seemed to be waiting for a deliberate slowdown, but in fact, his eyes were looking around for opportunities.

Suddenly an accelerated action, Denilson made a gesture to cross, Gary, Neville immediately pressed up, but Denilson suddenly used his left foot to kick the ball back, directly dunked the forward, the center of gravity has moved to the bottom line Gary, Neville, the whole person pulled back, took a step back, touched with his right foot, the ball and the person cut to the middle.

That's it, Gary, Neville was passed directly!

Denilson met Ronnie Johansen on the edge of the box, he made a gesture to the baseline, but the ball was passed to the left side of the edge of the box, and Nedved cut in the back row to meet the ball with a **.

Schmeichel reacted quickly, had solid fundamentals and was focused, and saved Nedved's long-range shot to pull it off the crossbar and into a Kaiserslautern corner.

"In the 24th minute, Kaiserslautern got a corner!"

Corner kicks, this is another big weapon for Kaiserslautern to break the opponent's goal, so even Ferguson is like a big enemy.

Lucio had a gloomy face, looking at him, Andy, Cole was still swinging around, obviously waiting for a counterattack after the corner, should he step forward at this time?

Looking at the head coach on the sidelines, Yang Cheng nodded at him, raised his fingers, and made a forward point movement, which was the area where Lucio's header was most sure of scoring, and it was also the area where he scored the highest goal and a half in a corner.

Ferguson, who was in the distance, frowned as soon as he saw Lucio come forward, and drank a few words to the players on the field, obviously to remind the players to strengthen the defense against Lucio.

"The boss said the last point!" Lucio whispered as he passed by Barak.

Barak nodded, and then explained the words to Vanney, who immediately knew how to cooperate with Lucio.

Veron stood at the penalty spot for a corner kick, and he had already received a hint from Yang Cheng.

Kaiserslautern fans in the stands cheered as the team took the initiative and were given another corner that could have struck the back of the net.

I saw Veron put the ball in the corner kick area, and then slowly retreated, and when the team was ready, he immediately rushed forward, picked it up directly, and sent the ball out.

The ball streaked through the air and no one knew where it would land except for a few Kaiserslautern players, but United had a dedicated guard at the front, middle and back points.

Lucio habitually retreated, and when the ball was released, Ballack, Ruud van Nistelrooy and others pressed forward together, attracting Manchester United's defensive attention to follow, and then Lucio suddenly rushed up from behind.

Wittbrown was in charge of defending the back post, and when he saw Lucio pressing up, he immediately stuck his position, but what he didn't expect was that Lucio jumped directly high.

The ball landed in front of him accurately, and after Lucio jumped, Weitbrown felt the overwhelming force of Tarzan, and he could only instinctively jump up and interfere, even closing his eyes, let alone watching the ball.

But Lucio's eyes widened, and the ball was like a lion shaking its head.

In the group stage, Lucio had two very good corner kick scoring opportunities in the game at Old Trafford, but unfortunately, he did not take advantage of them, which directly led to the defeat of the team. ,

This incident has always been an indelible shadow in Lucio's heart, so he has worked harder since then and continued to improve his strength.

Now, I finally met Manchester United again, finally got a corner again, and finally had a chance to get revenge!

He really didn't want to let go!

The ball touched Lucio's head, turned in a direction and went straight into the goal.

Schmeichel made a save, but it was too late, and everyone could only watch as Lucio, the dryland lion shook his head and scored with a header!

“G。 aLuuLLLuuL! ”

"In the 25th minute, Kaiserslautern broke the deadlock with a half-light from a corner-assisted header, Lucio beat Witerbrown and nodded the ball back!"

After Lucio landed on the ground, he clenched his fists directly and yelled, indescribably fierce!

Kaiserslautern's players stepped forward to celebrate, Lucio's corner kick scoring has always been a great weapon for Kaiserslautern, especially as he has improved in the second half of the season, and he has used corner kicks to break the deadlock for Kaiserslautern many times in key moments.

Yang Cheng waved his fists excitedly, and the Kaiserslautern fans in the stands behind him shouted with joy.

The drums of Ranivichno are full of rhythm and rhythm, which invigorates the hearts of every Kaiserslautern

"It's so surprising that Manchester United's goal came suddenly, but it's not surprising, Kaiserslautern has a lot of attacking methods, whether it's positional battles or set-piece tactics, it's very threatening!"

"Weltbrown looked annoyed, he didn't jump in time and was directly overwhelmed by Lucio, the young rookie has to bear some responsibility for this goal, but his performance outside of the corner is quite decent!"

Yang Cheng saw Ferguson roaring at the players on the field angrily, and he knew that Manchester United would definitely have a period of counterattack after conceding the goal, so he immediately called Ballack.

"The defence kept tight, firmly controlled the game and completely suppressed Manchester United's attack!"

Ballack nodded incessantly and walked back to the pitch, constantly revealing the manager's thoughts to the players.

The game resumes with Manchester United kicking off.

Kaiserslautern's defence stood up as soon as the ball was out and did not retreat, with Ruud van Nieten harassing the two centre-backs, Denilson and Deisler on the flanks for the task of disrupting and intercepting respectively, and Ballack, Nedved, Gattuso and Veron firmly established themselves in midfield.

One of United's most important features of football is premeditated movement, and with David Beckham, one of the best central and long-distance ballisters of our time, and Ryan Giggs' attacker, all United have to do is find as many holes as possible for Kaiserslautern.

Therefore, the three players have to keep running back and forth, because as long as they find the hole, they can pass the ball regardless of the distance to rely on Beckham, and if they can't pass the ball, they rely on Giggs's dribbling to break through, and the individual ability of these two players solves the problem of Manchester United's midfield moving forward.

Yang Cheng's defense was laid out against these two players.

Nedved limited Beckham on the right, Gattuso took care of Giggs on the left, Ballack and Veron covered the central area, and there was a flexible Kyle behind him, so Kaiserslautern's defense was also laid out in this way.

This kind of defensive style has high requirements for players to echo each other and assist in defense, and the team's ability to cooperate must be in place to be able to be limited, Kaiserslautern's set of midfield combinations, almost since Yang Cheng took charge of the team, we have been working together for 3 years, and the tacit understanding is not excellent, and teamwork is not bad.

In this case, Manchester United's attack was taken out again and again, although the momentum was not small, but it never found the opportunity to directly face the Kaiserslautern goal, but in the mistakes again and again, Kaiserslautern seized a lot of opportunities, directly into a counterattack, although failed to score, but still scared Manchester United sweat.

The minutes passed, and the score never changed again. ,

Yang Cheng raised his head and looked at the time, the first half was almost over, and he suddenly whistled at the corner.

"Our targeted tactical setup really worked!"

Bremer nodded approvingly.

Those who pay attention to the game can see that there is a clear change in Kaiserslautern in this game, the formation is no longer pressed forward.

Many people think that the current Premier League is very rough, but in fact it is not, Manchester United's set of mouths is most amazing in addition to their tacit running and adaptation ability, and another point is their ability to pass and receive the ball carved out of almost a chess piece.

As long as you watch more Manchester United games, you can see that "Manchester United's players are very good at touching the ball, not just one person, but the entire oral class, whether it is Beckham, Giggs, Scholes or Gary, Neville and others, the worst midfield pass is Keane, but his ability to read the game, protect the ball and dispatch are very good."

Keane is the kind of guy who seems to be reckless, but he is actually very smart about kicking, but many people are deceived by his reckless appearance.

Of course, his Shan is really big, so sometimes, he will also get angry directly.

"Slow down, as long as we slow down the pace, Manchester United will not withdraw, and if the time drags on for a long time, they will be in a hurry!" Yang Cheng smiled confidently.

That's his strategy for this game!

If it weren't for Lucio's goal, maybe he would still be directing the attack, but with a goal and Manchester United on the back attack, he should have played more patiently and safely.

If the remaining Manchester United is a wild horse, then Yang Cheng is a tamer, he can't compete with this horse when it is the strongest and the strength is still full, he should slowly boil until this horse is tired, and then slowly clean it up.

This is the importance of controlling the rhythm on the football field, and the flag controls the speed of the rhythm, and whoever can guide the other party.

Manchester United are lacking in this area, which is why after the treble, Ferguson will want to bring in Veron, he wants to strengthen the control of the midfield, can better control the tempo of the game, rather than the current more rigid and less soft.

Manchester United are better at that and if they were to be other pods, they would be even more uncontrollable than they are.

It was in this slow-paced stalemate that Collina finally blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Players from both sides walked into the tunnel amid cheers and insults from tens of thousands of fans throughout Camp Nou.

"How does it feel?" As soon as Yang Cheng walked into the locker room, he immediately asked with a smile.

The players were panting and looking very tired, and it was still very difficult to deal with a team of Manchester United's level, even if they were tactically right, because they had a lot of movement, so they had to stay focused and watch the movements of their team-mates around them at all times.

"Good roots, boss!" Lucio shouted almost at the end of Yang Cheng's words.

Everyone immediately looked at Lucio, and the Brazilian was a little embarrassed to find that he was the only one who spoke back to Finland.

A burst of laughter immediately erupted in the room, which greatly diluted the tense atmosphere before.

"I believe that at this time, everyone will not ask me to say anything more, and I believe that all of you know what we should do and how we should do it at this moment!"

Yang Cheng slowly walked to the middle of the players, looking at each player sitting on the soft chair and looking up at his own player.

'The other day, when we lost at Old Trafford, I told myself and told you that we have a big one and we have to pay it back, and I want to beat Manchester United and make that unbeatable Red Devils tremble, scared, terrified under our feet!"

"So, for today's game, I have only one goal, the championship!" Yang Cheng's eyes revealed unswervingness, and he stretched out his index finger forcefully, showing his determination.

He only fights for the championship!
