The 125th team core

The Reds have been slow to open things up, and their back-to-back games have left fans and media alike in the slate.

Especially in the midfield confrontation, Manchester United's midfielders are under the pressure of Chelsea, and it is impossible for football to run quickly and effectively, let alone a threatening attack, a seemingly intense but lacking attacking element makes neutral fans very bored to watch.

Van der Sar had just shot away a long-range shot from Makelele, Rio Ferdinand pushed the ball out of the box, Patrice Evra had just chested the ball, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Malouda coming up and rushing, and he quickly kicked the ball forward with a long ball.

"Long pass! This is very much in line with the style of Manchester United's quick counter-attacks in the past! The narrator teased. Manchester United's current table makes them shake their heads, in the face of Chelsea's conservative tactics, this 'Red Devils trident' has little chance, and it can even be said that some can't find anyone and disappear from the game completely.

When the ball arrives in the front court, Jonker stops the ball on his chest, and he uses his technique to control the ball a little.

Manchester United were blocked by Chelsea in midfield from the start, and the game was played under the minds of the Chelsea people.

At this time, Manchester United must hold on and slowly find an opportunity to break the deadlock.

Mikel came up to grab the ball.

Jonker shielded the ball, leaving Mikel powerless. Just as he was about to foul, Jonker passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who came up to pick it up.

When the team's offensive transmission is limited, Manchester United can only rely on the individual ability of the stars, as well as the cooperation and support between several stars.

Between Jonk and Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs. If you count the warm-up games, we have played six or seven games, and we have a preliminary tacit understanding with each other. And the strength of these people is not bad, in such a limited situation, several of them are also deliberately looking for cooperation, looking for a way to solve the current passive situation.

After Ronaldo received the ball, he took the opportunity to go forward and began to dribble the ball along the side, and Ronaldo's speed was quite fast. Chelsea's defensive player on this side is Ashley. Cole, also a fast player.

Cristiano Ronaldo saw that Jonker had penetrated into the front court, and he was about to pass the ball. At this time, Ashley. Kerr had already put the ball in place, made a tackle, and shoveled the ball off the touchline.

A counter-attack from Manchester United. And so it ended.

Afran Grant on the sidelines after seeing the scene off the field. A smile appeared on his face. Although Manchester United have won all of their recent games, Grant does not think that Manchester United's attack is very good, and in his opinion, it will not be difficult for Chelsea to win a point away from home, and of course Grant has not thought so much about winning three points against Manchester United at the Old Trafford Theatre of Dreams.

Grant followed Mourinho's usual tactics to push Chelsea's bus into midfield. In the midfield, it curbs Manchester United's transmission and possession, and completely blocks Manchester United's attack at the back. It would be even more wonderful if the attacking end of the front court could score one more!

However, Grant did not find that after adapting to the high-intensity scrambling in the midfield, Manchester United is also gradually increasing the output of the attacking end, and blindly defending at Old Trafford is actually not a good solution.

In any case, the defence will always be passive, and in terms of physical exertion alone, Chelsea players are far more likely to play than Manchester United, and if there is a lack of fitness, it is likely to collapse.

Moreover, now, Manchester United still has superstars such as Jonker, Ronaldo, and Rooney in attack, and the sudden outburst of individuals is even more unpredictable, and the role of stars can often be reflected in such games.

Break the deadlock and finish off your opponents!

Ferguson's strategy is also crucial, everything is in the hands of Manchester United, just see when the time comes!

He asked Chelsea to put pressure on United from the start, in order to create a sense of passivity and pressure on Manchester United, and then the team would panic, and now it seems that it is.

Makelele's table in this game, is so far, the only one that makes Grant a little unhappy, to say that in defense, or Makelele is the most reassuring, but today's configuration of the three backs, some limit the range of movement of the back, Chelsea has rarely used three backs in the game before, and in the running coordination between each other, Makelele seems to be a little unable to find a position.

It's a bit ridiculous that the most relied on midfielder can't find his place, but that's the case, and Manchester United is now aiming at this and constantly impacting.

In the face of Manchester United's onslaught, the most normal of the Chelsea defenders should have been Claude Makelle, but he has always overlapped with other midfield movements.

The ideal three backs finally appeared a weak link, which made Grant very anxious, but he also understood that it was useless to be anxious, the player on the field, as a coach, the role of the coach has been minimal, unless Makelele is replaced, or the player himself has to adapt and adjust!

Obviously, Makelle is not such a talented player, he may be his strong point in defense, his sense of position and defensive prediction are very strong, where there is danger, the first to arrive will always be the French back, but now it has become a big loophole, losing his original defensive area, no way, the three backs can only stipulate their own defensive areas, high-intensity defense covers a large area, Chelsea can completely curb Manchester United's attack, and now it seems that the imaginary effect is still a certain gap with reality!

But just when Grant was in a hurry, Chelsea found an excellent outlet for him.

Chelsea's first attack, Joe. Cole finally got rid of Scholes's defense, but he didn't even dare to take a single step, Scholes's defensive experience is very sophisticated, although he is older and his physical condition has declined, but he is very experienced. And the two used to be teammates in the national team, Scholes is very clear about Joe Cole's technical characteristics, Joe Cole knows, as long as he is half a beat slower. could be re-entangled by Scholes.

After getting rid of Scholes, Joe Cole looked ahead. Send out a through ball.

Malouda received the ball and did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the ball horizontally.

Shepchenko catches the ball.

Pull the ball. Turning around and leaning on Ferdinand, who came up to defend him, Shepchenko knew that Ferdinand was marking Malouda just now, and now Ferdinand has come to defend himself, which means ...... Malouda there, empty!

Shepchenko has been subject to various doubts since his move to the Premier League. However, he is a quality striker and has been in good form lately.

Without the slightest hesitation. Shepchenko immediately passed the ball out.

"Malouda! He has no one to defend! Lineker jumped!

Malouda was already bent his bow there, and he faced the rolling soccer ball and volleyed directly!

It was a shot with a lot of power and speed. Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar fell to the ground to save the ball. Still not able to touch the football, which had already swept past the net behind him before he had completely fallen to the ground.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAL!”

"Malouda! He scored! Who would have thought that the Frenchman, who was not very good at archery, would be able to make such a beautiful shot and the ball went in! ”

"A beautiful kick of the world wave!"

'Chelsea finally broke the deadlock! 1 to 0! They are ahead of Manchester United away! ”

The Old Trafford Stadium, which had been noisy just a moment ago, fell silent at this moment, followed by a loud boo.

Amid the boos, Malouda yelled in celebration of the goal. His passion celebrates. It also ignited the enthusiasm of the Chelsea fans, who chanted Malouda's name. Shout out for their goalscorers, and it's no wonder Chelsea fans are so excited about the golden goal at a crucial time.

As a giant who relies on money to pile up, Chelsea has always been unhappy with traditional giants like Manchester United, and wants to adjust their status as a giant, but also to prove that they are not a nouveau riche team, they are also giants, they are the Blues Chelsea.

It is only one win at a time to prove it, especially against the traditional giants!

The camera was very interesting, and immediately gave Jonker a close-up, and as a former Chelsea player, the language of the camera was very interesting.

Jonk silently watched this qiē, without any special body movements, watching his former teammates celebrate at the home of the new club, it is still necessary to maintain a neutral attitude, but this does not mean that he will accept such a backward situation, he took the initiative to Ronaldo!

Ronaldo also took the initiative to run over, there is still a tacit understanding between the two, Ronaldo understands Jonker's intentions, and also beckons Rooney and Giggs to come over.

"Jonker, call Ginger Boss with you." Cristiano Ronaldo said.

Jonker listened and nodded, due to Ginger's low-key personality that does not like to communicate, he and Scholes are not familiar with each other, and there is no tacit understanding between the two, which is also one of the reasons why Manchester United have no chance in attack today.

"Ginger Boss." Jonk shouted at Scholes.

Scholes saw that Jonker had called all the offensive players in the front court, but he didn't call him, and he himself was hesitating whether to go over.

Hearing Jonk call his name, Scholes didn't have any doubts at all, and immediately ran over.

"It's not going to work, we have to do something." Jonk said.

"Say it, we'll listen to you." Cristiano Ronaldo is a hard stick for Jonker.

'Chelsea defended very well and now they've scored a goal and the morale is definitely higher.' "So, it's going to be more difficult for us to attack in a while, which requires us to be more efficient when we have an opportunity to attack." Jonk said.

"We all know that, but it's difficult right now." Cristiano Ronaldo said.

"That's right." Jonker nodded, "In this case, we are required to perform better as attacking players, so as to be worthy of such fans, who are not here to see Manchester United lose." ”

Everyone nodded.

Attacking is the best defence, and it's not for nothing that if Manchester United's attack improves, Chelsea's attack will be curbed accordingly.

'As soon as the game resumes, we have to run more and attack the Chelsea defence frequently and put pressure on them. Jonk said. Now the tacit understanding between everyone is not enough, in such a situation. He was able to make up for it by running more, trying to get out of the air and tear apart Chelsea's defence.

Jonk looked at Scholes. Meaning, do you have anything to say?

Scholes didn't expect Jonk to ask him for his opinion, he thought for a while, "You and Ronaldo have better skills, you can dribble the ball to attract their attention, and at this time, everyone has to find an opportunity to respond." I'm going to play the ball fast too, so you've got to find the space in time. ”

Jonk just meant to ask Scholes for his opinion. I didn't think he would say anything, but Jonker was still happy to hear Scholes's words.

"Ginger Boss is right." Jonk nodded. "Cristiano Ronaldo. Your sidelines are also very important, no matter how dense the defense is, as long as we are all running, they can't defend, and in doing so, we can also use more of their energy. ”

Seeing Ronaldo and Rooney nodding, Jonker looked at Giggs who did not speak, and the veteran smiled, "The attack is still mainly up to you, but you have to pay attention to my movement later." ”

OK!

Jonk looked at everyone. "I don't want to lose this game! I want to win! I'm sure you all think the same way! ”

"That's right!"

"I've been unhappy with Chelsea for a long time!" Cristiano Ronaldo said. This guy hasn't forgotten the years when he was trampled under Chelsea's feet.

"Then we need to work together!"

It was only after the Chelsea players celebrated their goal that it became apparent that United's midfielders were gathered around what appeared to be a small meeting.

This also caught the attention of the narrator.

"Gary, see no." Eddie. Gray said: "United's midfield stars are huddled around and they seem to be talking about something, and I'm sure that's not what Ferguson meant. 'Ferguson didn't convey any tactical intentions to the players just now. So, Eddie. Gray had that to say.

"This is a spontaneous meeting of the players?" Lineker asked suspiciously, "Who brought them together?" ”

Lineker is very interested in this, and he feels that this small detail may have a serious impact on the future of this team.

It's just a feeling, but Lineker trusts his instincts.

The change on the field originally made Ferguson very angry, Chelsea's first attack scored, he wanted to curse, a bunch of defenders are pig brains?

Four people to deal with three offensive players, and there is a leakage?

Thorough pig brains! But before he could scold the words, he saw a picture in the arena, the players on the offensive end were having a small meeting, and the convener was Jonker!

Interesting! The old man was eager to see what would happen next!

Jonk's integration also greatly surprised Ferguson's expectations!

At this point, inside the stadium, the game resumes.

The Chelsea people didn't realise that they had a little meeting just now, and if they did, they wouldn't have taken it to heart.

The current Chelsea, after Mourinho's tenure, the exuberant fighting spirit to defeat the traditional giants has been integrated into the bone marrow of every Chelsea player.

Manchester United? They want to win against this opponent at all times.

In a Chelsea attack, Malouda's shot was met by Van der Sar, who held on to the ball and held it firm.

Then, he threw the ball and handed the football to Vidic, who kicked the football to Evra on the side, Evra controlled the ball, looked ahead, and habitually handed it to Scholes, although Ronaldo began to play a more important role in the Manchester United team, but Scholes has been playing in the team for more than N seasons, and Evra is still used to handing over the ball to Scholes for the first time.

Seeing Scholes receiving the ball, Malouda immediately came over to press it, and he wanted to use the foul to bring down Scholes and block United's counterattack.

After scoring the goal, Grant is determined to expand the defensive area, let the strikers join in, and press all over the field, maybe even a great all-round victory at Old Trafford, and score another one!

Of course, one more is only the best possibility, he thinks that he still has to curb Manchester United's counteroffensive tide as soon as possible, not to attack, and to defend it, so that Manchester United's attack will be difficult at the beginning of the moment!

Scholes's foot skills are not too outstanding, but, after all, he has been a famous master for many years, and his foot skills cannot be bad, he saw Malouda pounce and slammed the football with his heel beautifully, and he quickly turned around. Avoiding Malouda, he continued with the ball.

At this time, Malouda did not dare to foul. If there is a foul in the back, although it is Manchester United's half, the referee will also give a yellow card nine times out of ten.

Paul Scholes took two steps and saw Chelsea midfielder Mikel come up to intercept and pass the ball.

The target of his pass is Jonker.

Seeing that Jonk got the ball, the commentator became excited first. "Jonker got the ball and he's ready to take it forward...... As we all know, the degree of Jonk is very amazing. Even comparable to Ronaldo at his peak, he is fast even with the ball. We look at Manchester United's counter-attack, it was a rare opportunity for them. ”

Jonk dribbles forward. Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and other Manchester United attacking players immediately started to run from different positions. This is the effect of unifying the mind just now. As long as there is a chance, kill it like a pack of wolves.

Giggs was close to Jonker and he ran as he reached for the ball. This immediately caught Makellele's attention.

Jonk didn't split the ball, he directly changed direction and accelerated, and got rid of Essien's interference.

He came up to intercept Ferreira, who was very experienced, and he didn't pounce directly on Jonker. Instead, he ran in the passing line between Jonker and Rooney in front of him, and Jonker wanted to pass the ball. It will definitely be intercepted by Ferreira.

And on Cristiano Ronaldo's side, Ashley. Cole was defending him. At this time, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated forward, and Jonker immediately passed the football out.

"Jonker's pass - Ronaldo, he dribbles the ball along the wing, is he going to cross into the box?" The narrator shouted.

Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball close to the embodiment, suddenly braked sharply, pulled the ball back, grabbed in front of Ben Haim and passed the ball.

What people didn't expect was that Ronaldo's pass landed not in the box, but flew outside the box, where Jonker ran over and stopped the ball on his chest.

Seeing Jonker stop the ball on his chest and hold the ball at his feet, at the same time pull the ball and turn around, facing the goal, Terry and Ferreira immediately rushed towards him together, and the two planned to close the door. At this time, Terry still has some regrets, he was not able to predict the successful Joonk's run in advance, otherwise, when Jonk stopped the ball and turned around just now, it was a good time for him to grab it, but it's a pity. It also made Terry more vigilant, he had fought Jonk twice, and every time he fought, he would feel Jonk's progress, and the kid was stronger.

Faced with Terry and Ferreira's defense, Jonker flicked the ball to the right with his right foot, as if to break through from the outside, and Terry immediately moved outside. Ferreira also shifted his center of gravity, ready to come up and help with the containment.

Jonk was waiting for this time, almost in the next second when he made a pluck to the right side to attract the opponent's attention, Jonk dialed the ball, pulled it back with the sole of his foot, and then picked it with his toes, the football passed between Terry and Ferreira very dexterously, and then Jonk himself accelerated between the two people like a leopard, and the two were shocked and wanted to close the door, it was too late!

"It's wonderful!" Eddie Gray exclaimed, he turned his head and asked Lineker, who used to play for Barcelona, "Gary, do you have anything in mind?!" ”

Lineker smiled, "That's right, when I was in Barcelona, Ronaldo had such a pass, but that time Ronaldo was a breakthrough in high-speed dribbling, and from the point of view of difficulty, Jonker started from a standstill and suddenly started, which was more difficult." ”

After Jonker broke through between John Terry and Ferreira, he caught up with the football, and at this time, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech had already attacked, although Jonk did not look at the goal, but he instinctively felt that the goalkeeper should attack, and after Jonk caught up with the ball, he surprisingly did not choose to shoot, but directly knocked the ball sideways.

It's a pass to Giggs! When the goalkeeper is attacking, the angle of the shot is much smaller, and the best way to do it is to shoot. Of course, if you pass the ball out and your teammates shoot at goal, it's easy to get your teammates in front of a huge empty goal!

Giggs was obviously a little overwhelmed by Jonck's pass to him for an empty goal, his position was slightly off, however, in the face of an empty goal, this was still a must-score opportunity, Giggs wanted to score too much, he adjusted a little, and volleyed directly, the ball swept quickly, but slid past the goal......

"WWOWOOOOWWWOOOW - Giggs! He missed a chance to score! ”

'He's too focused on angles, and actually, in the face of an empty goal, he just has to shoot into the far corner and the goal is there!'

In the commentary box, many commentators were holding their heads, and they were obviously surprised that Ryan Giggs actually missed the opportunity to score from an empty goal. (To be continued......)
