Chapter 51 Frontcourt Rotation, Chu Feng in the 9th Position
The CSKA Arena is as quiet as a library.
Those shirtless fans silently took out their clothes and put them on.
After all, they were able to persist in the low temperature before thanks to the passion in their chests, but now they only feel the howling north wind.
Seeing that Manchester United had a three-goal lead, Mourinho decisively asked the players to slow down the pace on the field.
It's just a Champions League group match, there's no need to cause any tragedy.
If injuries or conflicts occur as a result, it will be unacceptable for Manchester United, which is already full of injured players.
But the situation on the field was not as peaceful as he expected. Instead, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
42nd minute of the game.
Matic stole the ball from Golovin in the backcourt and was about to pass the ball to his teammate in front of him, but the latter directly grabbed it.
Both of them fell to the ground.
Beep! The referee of this game, Eriksson, blew the whistle decisively and showed a yellow card.
With his timely intervention, the two teams dispersed quietly and the conflict was not escalated.
As the ball passed, time continued to pass.
Soon, the first half of the game came to an end.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of CSKA Moscow players, the Manchester United players quickly returned to the locker room.
Although the weather in Moscow in September is not too cold, it is still a bit uncomfortable for them, otherwise they would not wear long-sleeved jerseys.
Mourinho gave a brief compliment, then warned the players not to underestimate the resilience of their opponents, as reversals on the football field are not uncommon.
As he spoke, he gave a few more examples, such as the Miracle of Riazor, the Miracle of Istanbul, etc.
And Manchester United itself has a bloody lesson.
In the 2009-10 Champions League match against Bayern, Manchester United also scored three goals in the first half, but were then eliminated in a reversal.
After the second half of the game started.
CSKA Moscow decisively abandoned the midfield area and built a dense defense line thirty meters behind.
Manchester United's problem of lacking Pogba was exposed again. Their control in the midfield and frontcourt was seriously reduced, and they were unable to suppress the opponent's backcourt.
Mkhitaryan, who was in charge of the organization of the game, handled the football a little poorly due to constant interference from the opponent.
This is actually the reason why he can't become a top player.
So he could only keep retreating to find a more comfortable environment with the ball.
57th minute of the game.
Mkhitaryan had just received the pass from his teammate when he was confronted by nearby Zagoev.
He made a mistake in his panic and passed the ball to the opposing player.
Venblum seized the opportunity and made a long pass.
As Manchester United's midfield coverage is insufficient, it is easy for others to penetrate their defense.
Vitinho followed up with the ball, using his nimble body to shake off Matic and Herrera.
Bailly, the central defender that Manchester United spent 38 million to buy in the Champions League last season, rushed out decisively.
The two men tangled for several seconds, and finally Vitinho barely made space to shoot, but the ball flew directly out of the goal frame.
De Gea wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done!"
He was really scared just now.
Because Bailly is a typical player who is great in one game, terrible in three games, and injured in ten games.
Mourinho on the sidelines frowned when he saw this, he also noticed the fatigue in Manchester United's attack in the midfield and frontcourt.
The main reason is that Mkhitaryan's confrontation ability is too poor, so he cannot make continuous breakthroughs and deliver key passes, making it difficult to break through dense defenses.
This problem must be solved.
Because both the league and the Champions League have just begun, there will definitely be players who will make targeted arrangements based on this weakness in the future.
Mourinho does not have a procrastination problem and he is used to preparing in advance.
So he took advantage of the dead ball period to call Chu Feng to the sidelines, handed him a note, and gave him some instructions.
Chu Feng took a quick glance and told his teammates.
When the game restarts.
Manchester United's attacking pattern changed, with Lukaku retreating deeper and using his back-to-the-basket ability to assist in the advance.
Mkhitaryan in front only acted as a tool to transfer the ball and did not hold the ball for too long.
Chu Feng instead moved to the center position, using his ball protection and dribbling abilities to act as a fulcrum in a small area.
And with his physical fitness that has improved rapidly through recent training, he is more than enough to withstand the pressure from CSKA Moscow's aging defensive players.
63rd minute of the game.
Manchester United followed this offensive mode and advanced to the 30-meter area.
Chu Feng received the pass from Mkhitaryan, lowered his shoulders and changed direction greatly, making room to pass the ball directly to the right.
at the same time.
Lukaku quickly moved forward and ran with the ball.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In fact, he started out as a winger and has a certain speed and complete technical moves.
In the tactics of two forwards supporting and covering each other that Manchester United just used, his characteristics were once again released.
Ignashevich approached and raised his hand to block him without leaving a trace.
Facing an opponent with insufficient explosive power, Lukaku decisively sped up, rushed forward, and then waited for the right moment to pass the ball across the middle.
At this time, Chu Feng ran forward quickly.
Berezutsky on his left side kept confronting him, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear that his opponent would fall and cheat.
Chu Feng's mind was working rapidly.
A conventional shot would definitely not be in time, so a risky move had to be made.
Shooting on the ground!
He also used Berezutsky's strength to make himself slide faster on the grass.
Bang! A dull sound rang out.
Chu Feng touched the football before Akinfeev and sent it into the opponent's goal.
Wow!!! Manchester United fans could no longer hold back their emotions and stood up excitedly, waving their arms and cheering.
Just get beaten up if you want to.
On the other hand, the faces of CSKA fans were filled with helplessness. If there was still a chance to equalize with three goals, then there was basically no possibility with four goals.
On the green field.
Chu Feng was overwhelmed by the joy of scoring again. After running for more than ten meters, he jumped high and punched the air.
"Game-killing goal!"
"Chu Feng scored twice!"
Zhan Jun only felt the blood flowing faster throughout his body, and an indescribable excitement surged into his heart, making his voice even hoarser.
Zhang Lu next to him gave the warmest applause.
He is 66 years old this year. Looking back on his life experiences, he has basically spent three quarters of his time dealing with football.
Now seeing Chu Feng’s performance in the Champions League, I am also very moved.
The number of people online at the same time in LeTV Sports' live broadcast room has exceeded three million, which shows that China has no shortage of football soil and fans who love football. - [Awesome!] - [So cool, two goals and one assist in a single game!] - [Xiao Chu played a very important role in this attack, passing the ball outside the penalty area and shovel shots inside the penalty area.] - [What are the statistics of Son Heung-min's Champions League debut?] - [Zero!] - [It must be said that Mourinho's on-the-spot adjustments are too strong, and he maximized the characteristics and tactics of the players.]
While the fans were discussing enthusiastically, the game had already resumed.
Manchester United had an absolute advantage.
So Mourinho replaced Chu Feng and Mkhitaryan in the 70th minute, replaced them with substitute players for training, and began to strengthen the defense.
CSKA Moscow had lost all its momentum and its attack became increasingly weak.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score remained unchanged.
Manchester United achieved a resounding victory.
