Chapter 136: First Touch! (Fifth Update)

"You know, Mourinho has already abandoned 4-3-3 because it is too demanding on the players, especially the midfielders. They need to be comprehensive in attack and defense."

"For example, Makelele, Lampard and Essien."

"But he picked it up today. Maybe there is a special arrangement."

"Okay, let's turn our attention to the green field."

Beep! The referee blew the whistle.

The game officially began! The Pizjuan Stadium instantly erupted in thunderous cheers.

Sevilla did not rush forward after kicking off, but instead launched quick passes in the midfield and continued to launch tentative attacks.

Due to the mirror formation, Manchester United adopted a man-marking defensive strategy in the midfield.

And this is exactly what Montella wants.

8th minute of the game.

Sarabia retreated from the wing to the midfield, but Ashley Young did not follow up on defense, resulting in Sevilla having a numerical advantage in the midfield and opening up space for attack.

N'Zonzi decisively transferred the ball to the left.

Sarabia and Banega passed the ball and cut past McTominay who was alone, and Sarabia continued to dribble the ball towards the front of the penalty area.

"Straight right-foot shot!"

"Wow, the football was slightly higher than the crossbar, Sevilla almost broke Manchester United's goal!"

"Knock the mountain to scare the tiger!"

Zhan Jun didn't expect that it was Sevilla who took the initiative to attack, and his tone was full of surprise.

The fans in the live broadcast room also started to discuss it enthusiastically. - [Will they not capsize in the gutter? ] - [Passive defense will definitely lead to a loss. We must attack to suppress the opponent and reduce the pressure on our backcourt. ] - [Besides, the skills are not good enough to play against the Spanish team. It is best to advance through the sidelines and launch high-altitude bombing. Manchester United's "giant formation" is still quite fierce. ] - [It's not easy. Sevilla's defense line has a high rate of being in place when they are physically fit. ] - [Keep watching! ] - [.]

The game starts again.

Manchester United gradually adapted to the new formation.

Matic was the only defensive midfielder to focus on defense, McTominay and Pogba moved to the middle, and Chu Feng and Mata retreated quickly.

Sevilla reacted quickly and the defensive players quickly pushed out to defend.

With the constant switching between offense and defense, time was passing quickly and the game was dragged into a positional battle.

21st minute of the game.

Pogba dribbled forward and was instantly approached by Vazquez.

The two were entangled for a few seconds, and finally Pogba passed the ball back to the backcourt before N'Zonzi came to assist.

"Nemanya, I'm here!"

Chu Feng quickly moved to Banega's blind spot, raised his hand and demanded loudly.

Bang! Upon hearing this, Matic decisively passed the ball diagonally to the left front.

Chu Feng glanced at Navas behind him and felt helpless.

This person is like taffy. No matter whether he retreats or advances, he will follow him closely without even considering the integrity of the formation.

So how do I get past him? Chu Feng copied the situation nearby into his mind. Time seemed to slow down, and the football and the players formed a more complex geometry.

This is the perfect application of Bergkamp's "First Touch" module.

As the distance between the two people gets closer.

Chu Feng suddenly made a move, stretched out his left foot and pushed the football to the side.

Snap! With a crisp sound, the football passed by Navas like an elf.

Because of Chu Feng's body blocking the way, Navas didn't even see the football.

At this moment he was standing there blankly.

The moment Chu Feng touched the ball, he used his waist and abdomen to twist his body.

The graceful movements seem to be dancing.

Navas woke up as if from a dream and prepared to turn around and follow.

But Chu Feng immediately completed his explosive acceleration, and the whole person shot out like an arrow, leaving Navas with an unreachable back.

"Asshole! I've said before that when defending Manchester United's No. 7, you can't get too close, you have to keep a certain distance."

"Look, such a reckless move directly caused the left side defense to collapse!"

Sevilla coach Montella said angrily in the coaching booth.

He himself is an excellent offensive player. He scored four goals in the Rome derby in the 2001-02 season, and the player he beat was named Nesta.

So when he saw Chu Feng's actions, he immediately understood Chu Feng's intention.

Now Montella can only pin his hopes on the remaining players in the defense.

In his field of vision.

Chu Feng had already rushed into the 30-meter area with the ball, and his running route was very sophisticated. He cut diagonally toward the top of the penalty area, trapping Enzongqi who was returning to defense behind him.

Is it a foul?

A foul in the final third or from behind will undoubtedly result in a red card.

In the match against Barcelona a few days ago, N'Zonzi received a yellow card because of Busquets' outstanding performance.

So he didn't even dare to stretch out his hand, for fear that Chu Feng would fall.

There was a panic in front of Sevilla's penalty area.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lukaku moves forward and attracts Lenglet's attention.

Another central defender, Mercado, stepped out decisively to defend.

Mata's positioning was very clever. He was on the left side of Escudero and was able to receive the ball without interference.

So Chu Feng passed the ball without any hesitation.

At the same time, move in the opposite direction.

Although Manchester United did not have many players involved in the attack in the frontcourt, the players were able to run out of passing routes by moving.

This is the embodiment of basketball IQ!

Mercado was in a back-to-back position at this time and was completely unable to keep up with Chu Feng who was already speeding up. He could only helplessly watch him speeding away from him.

Mata passed the ball directly to the middle without stopping.

"Give and you will get it!!!"

Lukaku listened to the familiar voice and selflessly let the ball pass through his crotch.

The next second! Chu Feng appeared at the end of the football's trajectory.

Gently push on the arch of your foot.

Bang! Followed by a barely perceptible muffled sound.

The football rolled towards the empty goal.

At this time, Sevilla goalkeeper Rico was still on the right side of the goal, and no matter how powerful the opponent was, he could not reach the ball.

0-1!!!

The noise inside the Pizjuan Stadium was much quieter.

From the graceful turn of Manchester United's No. 7 just now, to the calm pass at the front of the penalty area, and then to the reverse run and shot into the empty goal.

This series of actions took only a dozen seconds.

Before Sevilla fans could even react, the football was already lying quietly in the goal.

After scoring the goal, Chu Feng ran wildly excitedly, then jumped high and punched the air hard.

"Hi!!!"

The Manchester United fans in the away stands stood up in unison and cheered deafeningly as Chu Feng swung his fist.

"pretty!"

“The ball goes in!”

"Xiao Chu led this wonderful attack and played a key role in the advancement."

"The most important thing is that he also guides his teammates to pass the ball in a small area, which is not what a hot winger does."

"I understand. Mourinho has gradually begun to give Chu Feng some organizational work, making his attack on the wing more diverse."
