538 miscalculations

(Please watch the movie network start!) 🔥 Ad-free HD playback! Please tell each other! Once, while chatting, Yang Cheng asked Ferguson why he was able to train the crazy Red Devils in the late 90s. Especially that set of golden midfielders that can even be said to be theoretically perfect?

Ferguson's answer to this was, shrugging his shoulders and pouting, "God knows! ”

There is no doubt that Ferguson has always lived in the shadow of the Manchester United team in '99, whether in this or previous life.

At that time, Ryan Giggs had an outstanding ability to advance with the ball, and his breakthrough on the left side was extremely sharp; Beckham has the ability to move the ball from almost any distance and his ball intelligence is actually very high, and according to Ferguson, his abandonment of dribbling and pace on his debut is a consideration that he has embedded in the team's overall strategy.

Keane has excellent area coverage protection, good scheduling, playmaking and passing skills, and his plug-in offense is also a threat; Scholes was lacking in the final pass, but his awareness was superb, and his long-range shooting ability was intimidating.

These four players have worked together for many years, have a tacit understanding, have excellent one-touch ability, and they are very versatile in their counter-running and advancing routines, fast and very clever in their running strategies, whether it is technique, awareness or confrontation intensity, they are enough to kill an opponent.

To some extent, the Cosmos team Barcelona also emphasizes touching the ball and running without the ball, but from the perspective of midfield staffing, Barcelona at its peak is not as good as this Manchester United in 99.

Such a staffing needs to find the right players, it takes plenty of time to carve, put it now, it is undoubtedly difficult, in Ferguson's words, today's big coaches can barely accept a year without a title, two years without a title, even Ferguson, known as the godfather of Manchester United, is facing a crisis of resignation.

In such an impatient environment. Who can have the leisure to slowly carve a group of players?

Yang Cheng can be said to have personally experienced the peak of Manchester United, he has seen the power of the golden midfield, and he has personally cracked it, so he knows better than anyone that these four people are indispensable.

As early as after Beckham left, Yang Cheng said several times that Manchester United's midfield has lost one of the most important means of propulsion, and now even Keane is gone, and Manchester United's midfield is in just two years. From the top of Europe to the current crippled squad.

Alan? Can Smith and Park Ji-sung be compared to Keane and Beckham?

According to Yang Cheng's analysis of Manchester United's tactics, losing Beckham, Manchester United's biggest problem is attacking; But without Keane, United's problems shifted to defence.

The difference between Keane and Keane is that when Keane is there, his strong area coverage can ensure that Manchester United's back line dares to push forward even when defending, ensuring the pressure of the midfield, but without Keane, Manchester United cannot even show such courage in attack.

Another point is battery life. Keane is responsible for scheduling, organising and grooming the midfield, and with him in charge, United's midfield can function more effectively and be more durable, without Keane, United are a bit like the Liverpool team without Carrick two years ago. Or even worse, why?

Manchester United plays 442, the most important thing in the parallel midfield is the two players in the middle, away Keane, Scholes alone can hardly support the backbone of the whole Manchester United, which is why so many people feel that Manchester United should bring in a Keane-style midfielder.

And after losing Keane, he couldn't find a suitable successor temporarily, Alain? With both Smith and Park Ji-sung struggling to take on the role, Ferguson has only one way. That is to take the path of the striker to retreat to the midfield.

As a result, both Rooney and Forlan had to take on the task of dropping back to get the ball, and the Uruguayan striker complained about this, because his goal tally was much lower than before, and he could even be sold outright by Ferguson.

Yang Cheng's tactical system was deeply influenced by Manchester United. Especially the Manchester United team in '99, so of course he knows very well how to restrain the current Manchester United.

Liverpool's squad hasn't changed much. The goalkeeper is Reina, who has returned from injury, and the backline is Riser, Nemanja Vidic, Carragher and Glenn? Johnson; The midfield trio is Essien, Carrick and Steven Gerrard. However, there is a difference in the fact that the midfield is pressed very high; The tridents are Ronaldo, Drogba and Robben. …,

Yang Cheng had already started to save his strength for this game when he played against Werder Bremen. This is also the reason why Liverpool lost 2-3 away to Werder Bremen, but the current media does not pay attention to this, as long as they see which team loses, they are directly afraid of the exaggerated report that the world is not chaotic.

Manchester United is still 442, goalkeeper Van der Sar, and the backline is Silvestre, Brown, Ferdinand and Gary? Neville, midfielders are Ryan Giggs, O'Shea, Allan? Smith and Park Ji-sung, the two forwards were Forlan and Rooney, and Scholes was unable to play due to an eye problem.

In the lineup, there is no surprise on both sides, but Liverpool's midfield arrangement is slightly different from the past, for example, Yang Cheng asked Essien and Gerrard to cut Manchester United's midfield more, especially the suppression of the middle, while Liverpool's right Robben wants to suppress Manchester United's left side Silvestre, forcing Giggs to come back to help defend.

Despite Yang Cheng's careful preparation before the game, it was still a complete sloppy, and Manchester United launched a round of onslaught after the opening kick-off, and it quickly paid off.

…………

…………

Giggs pulled up the middle, played with the retreating Wayne Rooney, got past Essien, beautiful, Giggs took the ball, picked up the edge of the box, Forlan cut in from behind...... The ball went in!!! ”

"A very nice long-range shot from outside the box!" The on-site narrator exclaimed loudly.

"Diego from Manchester United? Forlan was so beautiful that just 11 minutes later, United were the first to break the deadlock on the pitch, which would undoubtedly put United in a good position in the game. ”

Then, when the TV screen saw Rooney and Ryan Giggs and others excitedly cheering to celebrate the goal, the on-site commentator analyzed the reason for the goal, that is, at the critical moment, neither Gerrard nor Carrick returned to the front of the penalty area in time to protect it.

'They were a little too far up and too far away from their team-mates behind them, after being passed by Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney. Directly hit a large gap, and finally faced Forlan's long-range shot, even Vidic could not do anything. ”

After seeing Manchester United score first, the Manchester United fans in the stands cheered with excitement, this group of fans who followed the team to Cardiff just wanted to see Manchester United lift the trophy and beat Liverpool to win the cup, is there anything more cool than this?

Liverpool fans were a little disappointed, but after seeing Manchester United's fans boiling, they were not to be outdone. Fighting with the Reds, ruining their celebrations and cheers, and the pitch was in chaos.

"Take your time, don't rush, guys!" Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and waved at the players.

The big screen of the stadium was also aimed at Yang Cheng, giving him a big close-up, but from the faces of the Chinese, they could not see any anxiety and impatience, on the contrary. What they see is calmness.

"Perhaps, Yang Cheng's previous remarks about the uselessness of the South Locker Room Spell against him are likely to be invalidated in this game!" The on-site commentator said with a smile.

But the Chinese ignored these and walked back to their coach's seat, still watching the game with the old god.

The opening was attacked by Manchester United, coupled with the midfielder having to readjust to his position, and Manchester United seized the opportunity to score a goal. Liverpool didn't let this mess up, and after the restart, they saw Liverpool attacking Manchester United in an orderly manner.

Unlike Manchester United's fast-paced attack, Liverpool plays more calmly and controllably, while Manchester United is more aggressive, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to take the lead and crush Liverpool in one fell swoop. Smith and other giants are constantly chasing Liverpool's possession, while the Reds are more compact in three lines. Use the pass to make the move.

"Press forward a little!" Yang Cheng towards Paul? Bayer said.

Benitez on the side also nodded, "Avoid Manchester United's edge, first grind off their sharpness, and consume their physical energy!" ”

"Don't fight them too much for the ball and pay attention to the control of Rooney after he drops back. Robben stepped forward a little bit, suppressed the left side of Manchester United, and didn't let Ryan Giggs play too actively! ”

Paul? Bayer is like Yang Cheng's mouthpiece. One by one, Yang Cheng's instructions were transferred to the court.

After almost three years, the Liverpool players have developed a habit. It's about following the manager's orders. …,

This is also the least skill that a coach must have, if the players don't listen to you. No matter how strong the technique and tactics are, it is useless.

With Yang Cheng's series of adjustments after conceding the goal, after 10 minutes of chaos, Liverpool stabilized the situation and began to have a few decent counterattacks, all of which were playing Robben's right side, and Sylvester had some difficulty dealing with Robben alone, if you add a Glenn? Johnson, that can't be helped, but Alain? Smith and O'Shea were all over the pitch and often lost their positions, and Ferguson had to pull Giggs to the left to help Silvestre.

On the whole, Liverpool does not pursue too much possession, but more uses passing to dispatch, and Manchester United is pressing in the midfield, especially Alain? Smith, after Keane's departure, he became the waist of Manchester United, he does not have Keane's ability, but he must take on Keane's responsibility, the only thing he can do is diligence and hard work.

But the problem is that sometimes, this diligence and effort can become a weapon for the enemy to use.

In the front row of the stands where Liverpool fans are located, there is a patch of red with two dots of black dotted with red.

Natalie and Avril are both dressed in black and sit in a group of red jerseys, among which Natalie is the most plainly dressed, a black tweed coat, a tweed hat on her head, and a black scarf around her neck.

Avril is much more playful, a black sports sweatshirt, a white camisole low-cut vest inside, and a pair of black sweatpants on the lower body, looking youthful, but the blonde hair in the hat has a few crimson hair, and the big sunglasses, which are too flamboyant.

"Uncle won't be able to do it tonight!" Avril shook her head.

In her eyes, what she saw was that Manchester United had more time to get the ball than Liverpool, Manchester United scored, but Liverpool seemed to be unable to counterattack, and the scene was a little stalemate, and it looked a little chaotic.

However, if this is heard, it is estimated that there will be ambiguity.

"Looks like it was done on purpose!" Natalie keeps an eye on the game. "You see, although Manchester United has a lot of time to get the ball, it is easy to lose it, especially the pass forward, except for that one goal, it is not a threat, it is difficult to get into the heart of Liverpool."

'Liverpool's attack on the right was a big threat to Manchester United, and Didier Drogba alone drew the attention of two centre-backs in the middle, making Ryan Giggs have to return to the left to defence. So United's entire attack was pinched. ”

"Then why haven't you killed your opponent yet?" Avril took it for granted, since they all limited the opponent's attack, shouldn't they fight back as soon as possible?

"It's not that simple, I should still be waiting!" Natalie guessed.

If her words were heard by Yang Cheng, she would definitely complain, people with high IQ are different, especially this kind of high-IQ psychological expert, guessing the psychology of others is really a guess.

"What are you waiting for?" Avril pouted.

"Did you notice, the number 14 and the number eight at Manchester United were running very fiercely, going back and forth. Run non-stop, as soon as Liverpool get the ball, they run, especially that number 14, from left to right, front to back. He wants to cover almost the entire midfield, and his fitness is definitely not enough. ”

Avril looked at Natalie and was speechless to this good sister, "You just tell me to be patient, as for beating around the bush like this?" ”

Natalie looked at the girl, smiled and shook her head, she was a girl who couldn't be idle.

"You should go to the NBA!" Natalie suggests.

Avril nodded, she does like to watch the NBA, but I don't know why, she seems to like watching football games lately. But she doesn't watch the games of other teams very much, just look at Liverpool.

Unlike others watching football games, she is watching people.

She went to see the annoying uncle standing in front of the coach's seat with a mischievous mentality, wanting to see him lose so that she could take the opportunity to hit him. But I don't want him to lose, a very contradictory mentality.

Compared to Natalie, Avril's football knowledge is indeed very lacking. At least they are high-achieving students at Harvard University and high-IQ molecules. He learns everything very quickly, and is good at analyzing and researching. At least she can't nibble like Natalie with a frighteningly thick soccer theory book in order to get to know more people. …,

If it was so hard to love someone, she would reconsider.

Of course, she would take another approach that was more in line with her character.

For example, as if it were now.

"Uncle, you're too inferior, do you want to lose to that dead old ghost?" She stood up and shouted at the front of the coach's box.

Although there was a lot of noise, Yang Cheng still heard her shouting, looked over, and saw a girl wearing big sunglasses standing up, grabbing the fence and shouting at herself, and sitting next to her was Natalie with a waterfall sweat.

The tickets for the two were given by Yang Cheng, of course he knew who it was.

"Even other little girls think you're too inferior, uncle, you should reflect on yourself!" Paul? Bayer teased with a laugh.

Yang Cheng glanced at Avril, shook his head and turned around, continuing to look at the football game.

It's not time yet!

…………

…………

As Manchester United gradually increased their time on the ball, but compared to their time on the ball, United have seen a decline in effective attack, most notably with more long-range shots, often in the heart of Liverpool's heart is a rush to shoot from distance.

After Reina was opened by Forlan with a long-range shot, the rest of the performance was very calm, especially in the face of a long-range shot from Giggs, he flew directly to save the ball, kicked it out with a big foot, and played a counter-attack.

Although the game was deadlocked, Liverpool still passed and received the ball in an orderly manner, and Manchester United was relatively impatient. Neville and Ryan Giggs both made frequent appeals to their team-mates to remain calm and patient, but the players inevitably became impatient due to the stalemate.

In fact, this is also a problem that accumulates after the tactical freeze.

When you do everything possible to send the ball to the opponent's hinterland, as soon as you take the ball, you find that there is no contact point around, and you are completely isolated, either broken, or in a hurry, this kind of depression can be imagined.

In the past, Manchester United's midfield was able to form an effective overall running system, the back line pressed forward, and the midfield also moved forward, so that the midfielders could be more involved in the attack of the front, making the contact between the forward line and the midfield very frequent.

But without Keane, Manchester United lacked a solid midfield to cover the sweepers, the defense did not dare to move forward, and the midfielder also shrank back, plus Ryan Giggs, Gary? Neville and the others are older, Gary? Neville can now go back or not, and all the series of factors have come together to become the biggest problem for Manchester United right now.

That's the ability to create goalscoring opportunities has decreased!

No matter what, Manchester United is still the strong Manchester United, the strength of the players is not bad, if you play hard, Liverpool may not be able to get benefits, so Yang Cheng did not play a strong attack with Manchester United at the beginning, but stabilized first, I know that you can't attack, I'll let you attack first, and when you're tired of attacking, it's my turn!

The only miscalculation was Fran's goal, which Yang Cheng should have unexpected, but he didn't care about it.

At the end of the day, he is confident in his team's attacking prowess, strictly speaking, their ability to create goalscoring opportunities, whether it's a long pass from midfield or a break from both flanks and a dribble inside, Liverpool can do quite well.

Just one chance away!

Alan? Smith is not an iron man, nor is he a robot, and he has played so many games in a row that even the most physical players are unbearable, Alain? Smith is no exception.

In the 32nd minute, Alain? When Smith couldn't keep up with Gerrard during a chase and had to take a foul to bring the Liverpool captain down, Yang Cheng and Benitez looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Almost!
