Chapter 180: The heaven-defying hook!
Beep! The referee blew the whistle.
The game officially started! Mourinho guessed wrong again. Bayern did not rush to grab the opening, but passed the ball steadily in the backcourt.
The meaning is obvious, we have to play defensive counterattack.
Bayern's 4-3-3 formation today actually revealed Heynckes's ideas a long time ago. After all, this formation is centered on wingers and emphasizes counterattacks after defense.
Moreover, due to the compression of the three lines of defense, the defense density can be greatly improved.
6th minute of the game.
After a series of transfers, the football came to Chu Feng's feet.
Vidal did not pounce like he did in the past. Even though he was confident in his tackling skills, Heynckes asked the defensive players to play it safe before the game.
But Chu Feng did not retreat but advanced, taking the initiative to rush forward with the ball.
Bayern's defensive formation is currently very solid, and it is difficult to create gaps through passing.
So he has to stand up.
Use a point to break the surface.
Use personal abilities to create time and space differences, making the opponent's defensive system incomplete, thereby creating opportunities for your own side in the offensive round.
"You defend the outside, and I'll defend the inside."
Vidal's eye twitched suddenly and he called Kimmich to come over to assist in defense.
No fussy fake moves.
Chu Feng simply made a pass and a dribble, pretending to break through Kimmich from the outside, and at the moment Vidal moved, he swept the ball to the middle.
Don't waste the ball easily, every attack must be effective.
Chu Feng knew how difficult it was to attack two world-class players head-on.
"A very clear offensive idea!"
"Lingard moves sideways to receive the ball and passes it directly to Ibrahimovic in front!"
Ibrahimovic controlled the ball with his back to Hummels and glanced at the surrounding situation.
Because of his rich game experience and delicate footwork, his fulcrum role is much stronger than Lukaku, and he can also complete a more tacit connection with his teammates.
Chu Feng did not stop after passing the ball, but went straight to the baseline.
Kimmich and Vidal didn't dare to let Chu Feng move freely, so they could only speed up and catch up.
Bayern's left flank suddenly became empty.
Lingard wandered here at some point, and after attracting the attention of two defensive players, Ibrahimovic decisively chose to pass the ball back.
"Wow, what a brilliant tactical design!"
"Through simple passes and runs on the left, he created a good environment for his teammates!"
"Lingard passes the ball again!"
"It turns out that the real killer is Chu Feng!"
The football rolled quickly along the grass and headed straight for the area on the left side of the small penalty area, like a sharp scalpel.
Chu Feng glanced at the two people beside him.
Kimmich has short legs and Vidal is old.
So he flashed and accelerated directly, bursting out at a terrifying speed, and ran towards the end of the football's trajectory.
It was too late for Ulreich to command Hummels to assist in defense, so he could only block the near post with his body to prevent Chu Feng from having a chance to shoot directly.
The angle is too small Chu Feng gave up the idea of a blind kick and kicked up hard with a flick of his ankle.
The ball passed lightly over Ulreich.
Slowly fell to the right side of the goal.
"Beautiful! A fantastic lob shot!"
"Boateng!"
"Move to the back post in advance and clear the ball with a hook!"
“A clearance that’s no less than a goal!”
There were constant cries of regret at Old Trafford, with Manchester United fans covering their heads in frustration.
This won’t even go in!
We finally created opportunities using carefully designed tactics, but failed to achieve the desired results.
Bayern fans breathed a sigh of relief.
"The danger is not over yet, let's see the second point! Lingard volleys sideways!"
"Will it be a flying fairy from the sky?"
"Forehead"
Zhan Jun watched the football fly directly into the stands and was choked with speech.
Zhang Lu took over the conversation, "It's a good attempt. It's not that easy to score a world-class goal."
On the green field.
"Nice pass, Jessie!"
Chu Feng didn't care too much and instead gave a thumbs up.
If you feel sorry for yourself because you missed a chance, how can you play the rest of the game? "When I attack later, I will retreat to the front of the penalty area. If there is a chance, I will pass the ball behind the defender. You can get into position in advance, but be careful not to be offside."
Ibrahimovic rubbed Chu Feng's head.
"Don't worry, Zlatan, I won't be offside no matter who is offside."
Chu Feng laughed “hehe”.
Boateng, who was not far away, broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had been careful in advance, otherwise he would have conceded a goal at the beginning and they would have been in a passive position.
Thinking of this, he said to Kimmich and Vidal: "Keep an eye on Manchester United's No. 7, no matter where he goes!"
The two nodded vigorously. They were just a little careless just now, and they almost made a big mistake.
Soon the game continued.
The 433 formation that once destroyed Bayern has regained its magic in the hands of Heynckes.
The three-midfield configuration strengthened the protection of the back line. Vidal and Kimmich were fully focused and did not even hesitate to commit tactical fouls.
Chu Feng was inevitably locked up.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Soon he began to increase his running range, moving in and out of the blind spots of the two people's vision like a slippery loach.
He wanted to make the two defensive players lower their vigilance and create opportunities for himself.
Kimmich was miserable about this.
He even felt like he was defending Muller, not knowing when the other party would disappear and could only follow him passively.
13th minute of the game.
Manchester United's overall formation gradually shifted to the right. Because of Pogba's presence, the right side's advancing ability is even stronger than the left side.
Thiago also became the main attacking point.
This player from Brazil has good breakthrough ability, but his corresponding defensive level is not very high, and he has no upper hand against Pogba.
Pogba suddenly changed direction and made a long pass behind Bernat.
"Rashford!"
“Amazing speed!”
"Perhaps Manchester United's explosive point today is the right side!"
Rashford was like a black lightning, forcing an overtake from the outside.
He didn't pass the ball easily.
Because Bayern's air defense is very strong, even if Manchester United is a giant formation, it is difficult to grab any points, and Ibrahimovic is also a "center forward" who likes to use his feet.
However, Bayern's penalty area inevitably fell into chaos.
Boateng quickly assisted in defense and blocked most of the shots and crosses.
"Inverted triangle pass!"
"Ibrahimovic outside the penalty area has a chance to shoot directly from long range! Do you want to do it yourself?"
Won't.
Because Ibrahimovic discovered a familiar figure, who seemed to be hidden in the shadow in the penalty area, running silently towards Kimmich's blind spot.
Hummels rushed forward.
Who doesn't know that Ibrahimovic has a terrifying long-range shooting skill? Ibrahimovic's body has been stretched to the extreme, but when the instep touches the football, the power is much smaller.
Fake left, real right, attack left! Bang! The football flew off the ground, passed by Hummels, and flew over Kimmich's head.
A dazzling rainbow seemed to appear in Bayern's penalty area.
At the end of that beautiful arc, the back of Manchester United's No. 7 suddenly appeared.
Kimmich looked back subconsciously, and instantly felt hopeless! But soon he saw another person.
Vidal! He seemed like a mad beast, rushing towards Chu Feng viciously.
It’s too late to deal with it! Kimmich’s hope rose again.
Under the gaze of 70,000 fans at Old Trafford, time seemed to slow down.
Suddenly their eyes widened.
An incredible scene took place on the green field.
What would Vidal do? He would steal the ball the moment he handled it.
Chu Feng subconsciously cracked his opponent's defensive logic and came up with a fantastic solution to the problem.
The chest stops the ball in mid-air!
He turned 180 degrees and used his body to separate the ball from Vidal! With his back to the goal, he stepped hard on the grass and stretched his body! He was in mid-air, and at the moment the ball fell, he swung his right leg backwards!
Bang! The light in front of Vidal's eyes was blocked, leaving only the back of Manchester United's No. 7.
The same is true of Ulreich.
When they heard the dull sound, they saw the football spinning and falling in the air again.
Ulreich flew to save the ball with all his might.
But it was no use! The time left for him to react was too short, and even if Neuer stood in front of the goal, he could only watch the ball and sigh.
He could only watch in despair as the football flew into the goal.
1-0!
