Chapter 111 Are you the "New Maldini"? (4)
But is there any danger in passing the ball from the midfield or backfield?
If the ball is intercepted by Manchester United's frontcourt players, a multi-player counterattack can be formed instantly, and Manchester City's defensive players will not have time to return to their positions.
According to the current situation, whoever reveals a flaw first will die first.
24th minute of the game.
Fernandinho received a pass from his teammate near the center circle.
Lingard rushed over immediately. As a troublemaker in the frontcourt, his role was to block Manchester City's advancement in the middle while waiting for an opportunity to attack forward.
Seeing this, Fernandinho quickly moved the ball to the wing.
Upon seeing this, Chu Feng moved closer and blocked David Silva's turning space, but he still underestimated this "space magician".
David Silva's ability to dribble past opponents in small areas is comparable to Messi.
Although he is a little thin, he has strong physical confrontation ability. This is the biggest difference between him and his Spanish fellow countryman Mata.
David Silva touched the ball lightly with the instep, followed by a smooth turn.
He suddenly felt a force coming from behind him, and then fell to the ground uncontrollably. Turning back, he saw Chu Feng pulling at his jersey and giving him a kind smile.
Beep! The referee Oliver whistled a defensive foul, "Sir, watch your movements. If it happens again, you may get a yellow card."
Chu Feng nodded and didn't care too much.
The tactics formulated by Mourinho before the game emphasized the protection of the flanks and the center, and David Silva and De Bruyne must not be allowed to organize comfortably at any cost.
This can also be considered a kind of exchange.
Moreover, by changing his position to the right side, he also wanted to avoid Kyle Walker and achieve a single-point explosion.
As for Rashford, he was completely used as a defensive player, but he did not feel aggrieved. After all, it was much better than sitting on the bench.
37th minute of the game.
Manchester City began to avoid the two wings and formed an advancing group in the middle.
When other players were under tight defense, Fernandinho came in from the back and became the only variable.
"broken!"
"Smalling's advance was too big, and the space behind him was left open!"
Zhan Jun clearly observed the changes in the formations of both sides from a God's perspective.
The words haven't finished yet.
Fernandinho kicked the ball into the empty space.
Sterling struck a classic pose and ran like a dinosaur, which looked weird but was incredibly fast.
Because of the Jamaican blood running through his body! Lift your legs!
He's going to volley.
Seeing this, Rojo didn't hesitate at all. He pushed the grass with his feet and rushed backwards.
He just goes ahead!
Bang! The football flew out of the bottom line.
Sterling covered his head in annoyance. This Manchester United No. 5 looked like he was ready to die.
"Well done, Marcos!"
“Be careful!”
The Manchester United players gathered around.
Perhaps due to the surge of adrenaline, Rojo did not notice a wound on his cheek, which was probably scratched by Sterling's shoes, and was bleeding continuously.
The referee signaled the player to leave the field.
The game starts again.
Manchester City's corner kick was cleared by Smalling with a header.
Pogba held David Silva with his back to control the ball, then made a clever turn to get rid of him and passed the ball to the right.
He is the guarantee for Manchester United's midfield and backcourt passes.
Chu Feng dribbled the ball forward and accelerated instantly.
Out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Rojo who was being bandaged. The Argentine defender looked extremely anxious, as if he was worried that Manchester United would be at a disadvantage with one less player, and he couldn't wait to get on the field and continue fighting alongside his teammates.
Chu Feng's mood became extremely excited.
My teammates have already fought so hard, and I absolutely cannot hold them back.
He feels like he's in top form.
Delph did not retreat but advanced.
Under Guardiola's long-term hypnosis, he has come to think of himself as the "new Maldini" and the left side is his corridor.
And this confidence really helped him a lot.
But in terms of offense, his long shots from outside the penalty area were always accurate.
When Chu Feng was injured, he carefully studied this "new Maldini" and watched all 14 of his games throughout the season.
The final conclusion is that Delph is not only clumsy in turning, but also slow in chasing back, but he is very good at making judgments in advance and making interceptions.
As the distance between the two people continued to narrow.
Everyone in the stadium subconsciously held their breath and focused their eyes on Manchester United's No. 7.
As countless snowflakes fell.
Chu Feng moved.
Internal dial!
Outward buckle!
Take a step forward!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Dial again!
He completed four touches of the ball in the blink of an eye, and coupled with the rapidly changing center of gravity, gave people a feeling of being unstoppable.
Delph's predictive ability, which he was proud of, disappeared.
Can't see through.
He felt that as long as he stretched his legs he would be dribbled past, so he could only keep retreating, giving up space in exchange for time, waiting for his teammates to come and help.
It’s this moment!
Chu Feng suddenly changed direction!
The speed of going backwards is never as fast as that of going forwards.
Delph subconsciously turned around and followed, but he could no longer control his center of gravity. His body staggered uncontrollably and he almost fell to the ground.
A surging red torrent appeared on the green field.
"pretty!"
"It may seem like a simple and rough breakthrough method, but it actually requires extremely strong human-ball coordination skills!"
"I see unparalleled self-confidence in Chu Feng!"
"The Blue Moon Legion's defenses collapsed!"
The Manchester United fans at Old Trafford stood up in unison, staring at the running boy, feeling as if a huge rock was thrown into their hearts.
The Manchester City fans in the away stands were dumbfounded. They could not accept that their own "Maldini" was broken through so easily.
Thirty-meter area.
Kompany signaled Otamendi to keep a close eye on Lukaku, and then he decisively headed out.
Even if the threat cannot be eliminated outside the penalty area, it is necessary to slow down Chu Feng's advancement and create time for his teammates to return to defense.
Manchester City’s old captain is trustworthy!
With his precise positioning and quick steals, he has blocked countless talented players.
And Kompany is very smart.
He knew that Chu Feng's dominant foot was his right foot, so he focused on defending Chu Feng's cross from the bottom.
Chu Feng slowed down slightly and glanced to the side.
Then he burst through without any fake moves! As he gets older, Kompany's "glass body" is fully revealed.
In recent seasons, he has been plagued by injuries and his physical function has seriously declined.
He watched Chu Feng pass by him, and he was not able to do anything, so in the blink of an eye he fell half a body length behind.
Maybe I should retire Chu Feng's mind flashed with the positioning diagram of Manchester City and Manchester United players that he had just memorized.
Otamendi marked Lukaku, Kyle Walker marked Rashford, and Lingard came in from the back.
His ankles swung violently.
With a crisp sound, the football rolled quickly along the grass and came to the front of the penalty area.
Under the watchful eyes of the public.
Lingard threw his body away.
Shovel shot!
It was too late for Fernandinho to stop it.
Bang! The football flew into the goal, stirring up waves of white spray.
1-0!!!
