Chapter 272: Was he dancing in the penalty area during the second leg against Atletico Madrid?

Although Manchester United won in the end, the atmosphere in the team was not very cheerful, but rather felt like a storm was about to come.

After the game, Mourinho held a meeting with everyone and criticized Lingard and Pogba by name.

There was no mercy shown to the other party.

Because, throughout his coaching career, he has never compromised with the players, no matter how famous the other party is.

Chu Feng originally thought that things would just pass like this, but then Mourinho directly announced that Lingard would be demoted and asked him to stay in the youth team for half a month to calm down.

After hearing this, Lingard felt terrible.

No matter how you look at it, he is a contributor to the team. He helped Manchester United win the double last season. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard.

He couldn't accept such punishment.

"Boss, if that's the case, then I might turn——"

Before Lingard could finish his words, Chu Feng interrupted him harshly: "Jesse! There are some things you can say, and some things you can't say. Think it over before you speak!"

Both of them have gone from the youth team to the first team. Recently, Lingard's family has had problems again, so a stable job is very important.

However, once some words are spoken, there is no room for further discussion.

Chu Feng knew Mourinho's character. Lingard felt as if cold water had been poured over his head when he heard this. His anger instantly calmed him down. He said in a slightly decadent manner, "Boss, I accept the penalty."

In fact, his condition has declined significantly recently.

You have to know that he is not a player known for his talent. The biggest factors that have enabled him to get to where he is today are his diligence and concentration.

But now he can no longer focus on football.

As for the reason? The personal social platform has brought in a huge amount of traffic benefits!

For example, he recently launched his own personal brand "JLingz" and made some hype speeches on public platforms. To put it simply, he wants to transform from a professional player to an internet celebrity.

Mourinho glanced at Chu Feng and sighed helplessly.

He knew that his disciple was sentimental, otherwise he would not stand up at this time.

After all, everyone knows that it will displease the head coach. Didn’t you see that Rashford, Pogba and others wanted to stay away?

If it was him five years ago, Lingard would not be able to play again this season. Mourinho finally waved his hand: "Today's meeting ends here!"

The Manchester United players all slipped away very quickly. Lingard wanted to find Chu Feng to thank him, but Chu Feng ignored him.

Do you really think you have no temper?

If it weren't for the fact that they had been classmates for several years, he would never have asked this question today.

After driving back to his apartment in the city, Chu Feng was not bothered by this. He turned on the TV as usual and watched a video of Atletico Madrid's game.

Although he tends to get carried away when playing football, he will try his best to avoid external interference.

This is the most basic professional quality.

Starting from today, the Manchester United locker room has become much quieter, and everyone is training hard, fearing that they will follow in Lingard's footsteps.

But the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Fortunately, veterans such as Valencia and Ashley Young helped to relieve the pressure, and most of the players were reasonable people, so the harmonious atmosphere soon returned to the past. ——Time passed quickly and it was March 7th.

Atletico Madrid players arrived at Old Trafford early to warm up. After Chu Feng came out of the player tunnel, he took a look and found that many familiar faces were missing.

Oh, it turns out he was banned.

Morata, who was not far away, looked at Chu Feng with envy in his eyes. To be honest, he regretted not choosing to join Manchester United after leaving Real Madrid.

In fact, Manchester United did extend an olive branch to him in the summer window of 2017. After all, Ibrahimovic was seriously injured at that time and Manchester United urgently needed an excellent striker.

It’s just that the negotiations between Real Madrid and Manchester United broke down a bit.

But later Morata also expressed his willingness to go to Manchester United. After all, you know, his dream since he was a child was to play for the Red Devils . Unfortunately, Manchester United's work efficiency was too low, and Chelsea finally intercepted him halfway.

"Otherwise I can get a few championships. It must be nice to be a partner with Chu."

Morata glanced at Griezmann and said secretly in his heart.

It’s a pity that I don’t know if I will have another chance in this life.

Soon, Old Trafford became lively, the stands were filled with bright red and giant Tifos were set up.

Chu Feng waved to the fans, which immediately drew warm cheers.

While the players of both teams were warming up, the pre-match press conference was taking place, and Mourinho and Simeone were bound to have a tit-for-tat exchange.

There's nothing new about it though.

Simeone said Mourinho's tactics were old-fashioned, Mourinho said Simeone played dirty, and then they all agreed that their team could win.

As for who is more confident?

Of course it's Mourinho!

With a complete lineup and playing at home, and three of the opponent's main players suspended, Manchester United should be able to beat Atletico Madrid even if Chu Feng is in charge, right?

Of course, the above statement is a bit exaggerated.

But Mourinho has already developed targeted tactics, and he is definitely not in the mood for a draw today.

attack!

Because a lot of bad things have happened to Manchester United recently, such as being scored first by two relegation teams, and some minor problems that have just emerged within the team, morale will inevitably decline.

We must take this opportunity to give the fallen dog a beating and cheer up both the players and the fans.

Half an hour later.

Players from both teams appeared on both sides of the player tunnel, and the camera gave a close-up of everyone.

Emilia, who was held by Chu Feng, asked crisply: "Chu, I recently watched a cartoon called "Pyjama Heroes", and the villain in it is very similar to Atletico."

As she spoke, the little girl started to act out, putting her hands on her hips and looking at the Atletico players!

"When night falls on the city, a team of heroes stands ready to fight crime fearlessly!"

When the Atletico Madrid players heard this, their faces turned pale instantly and their eyes widened, trying to scare Emilia.

"Don't take what children say seriously."

Chu Feng pulled Emilia behind him in advance and met the angry eyes of Atletico Madrid players.

Without waiting for a response, he turned around and winked at the little girl, causing Emilia to cover her mouth and laugh.

"Okay, last time someone used cheap tactics to get me three yellow cards, how long have you forgotten about it?"

Godin scolded in a low voice.

Chu Feng understood but didn't care. What did it mean to use despicable means?

Only Atletico Madrid is allowed to commit malicious fouls and deliberate provocations, while others are considered immoral. Isn't that too overbearing?

"Remember the arrangements before the game and just follow the plan." Chu Feng reminded his teammates.

Soon, the exciting UEFA Champions League theme song rang out, and the players of both teams followed the referee out slowly.

Old Trafford instantly turned into a sea of ​​red.

"Good evening, audience friends!"

"Now we are broadcasting the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the 2018-19 season!"

"Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid at home!"

"In the first round, the two teams tied 1:1 and neither team gained an advantage."

"The result of today's match will determine who will advance!"

"The starting lineups of both teams have been put on the screen. Mourinho has arranged a 4-2-3-1 formation today. The goalkeeper is:."

"We all know that Manchester United's recent record is not good, and there was also the explosive news that Lingard was demoted, so they urgently need a tough victory."

"Although Kante cannot play for Manchester United, Matic and Herrera have returned from injury. Their combination has also been tested in several big games. I think Manchester United should have no problem on the defensive end."

"Let's take a look at Atletico's starting lineup. They are wearing blue away jerseys today and still have the classic 4-4-2 formation."

"Simony had great difficulty in arranging his team because Saul, Felipe and Diego Costa were suspended for accumulated yellow cards."

"Lemar replaced the right midfielder, Lucas was the starting left back, and Morata was the striker."

"To be honest, this lineup will have a significant decline in the intensity of high-pressure defense."

Zhan Jun briefly introduced the basic information.

"Coach Zhang, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"Of course it's Manchester United. Atletico Madrid lacks oppression, just like a fish without water." Zhang Lu said with a grin.

In the lens.

Chu Feng, wearing the Manchester United captain's armband, exchanged flags with Atletico Madrid captain Godin, and then there was no other communication.

According to Chu Feng's original habit, he would always exchange a few words with the other party.

But it's not necessary for Atletico.

After choosing his side, Chu Feng raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, come on!"

“Come on!!!” Manchester United players clenched their fists.

In the diehard stands, Manchester United fans also stood up suddenly and raised their right arms like Chu Feng.

"Manchester United, go ahead!"

"Manchester United must win!"

The bright red jerseys reflected by the lights make Old Trafford even more magnificent at night, like a beautiful dream factory!

Beep!!!! After the referee's whistle sounded, Chu Feng kicked the ball back to Pogba, then turned around and got into Atletico's defense, aiming at Jimenez.

His task today was simple, to suppress Atletico's right center back.

Because Lemar's defensive ability is not good, otherwise he would not have been abandoned by Simeone, but who made Saul suspended?

The French teenager is Manchester United's main attacking point.

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

Using a point to lead the whole, forming a same-side pressure, and finally radiating the advantage to create opportunities for attacking the third zone! Manchester United prepared for this for many days, and there is no reason why it cannot be executed in place.

The ball was quickly transferred to Rashford's feet.

"Marcus!"

Chu Feng kept swaying in front of Jimenez, like a moving bait.

It not only adds pressure on Atletico's back line, but also strengthens the support in the flanks, taking the route of a versatile center forward.

As expected.

Jimenez could only move forward to defend closely, and also called on Rodri to come for help.

Now everyone in Europe knows that as long as Chu Feng is given a certain amount of space, he will rush forward with such ferocity that no one can stop him even with hands and feet!

Who would have thought that Chu Feng didn't catch the ball at all, but just passed it behind him.

"Look at this routine, it's so insidious!"

"Pogba moves again!"

Mahrez gently flicked the ball with his left foot, avoiding Godin's interception, and then shot directly!

The football drew a huge arc and headed straight for the upper right corner.

"Mahrez! Oops, Oblak hit it at the extreme distance, and the ball changed its course and hit the goal post!"

"Godin cleared the ball with a long kick, the battle for the second point was intense!"

Koke pushed hard on Matic's back even though he was clearly out of position, directly destroying his balance.

Beep! The referee blew the whistle and came up to give a direct verbal warning: "Sir, please watch your movements. I will pull out a card next time."

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try!"

Although UEFA does not recognize the home whistle, it does exist.

As for what is a home whistle? As the name suggests, when encountering some difficult-to-judge and 50-50 balls, the referee will give the home team an advantage appropriately based on the situation on the field.

Besides, Cork's behavior is not difficult to judge at all.

Simeone, who was on the sidelines, saw this and angrily approached the fourth official, "If this level of confrontation is a foul, why not put a net in the middle and let the two teams play like volleyball?"

Faria next door couldn't hold it in and sprayed out all the water in his mouth.

Simeone is also a talent. Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, ordinary people really can't think of this metaphor.

The fourth official glanced at Simeone and said: "If you harass me again without reason, I will report it to the referee team."

Simeone shook his hands in annoyance, walked back to the coaching area, and yelled at the green field.

Trying to boost the enthusiasm of Atletico players in this way.

Atletico's only chance of winning today is to explode to stabilize the defense first, and then find an opportunity to attack and steal a goal.

But he still underestimated Mourinho.

The targeted tactical deployment directly suppressed Atletico Madrid and left them no room to fight back.

If we continue like this, it's only a matter of time before we score a goal.

But Atletico's game rhythm is to test the referee's standards in the early stages of the game and then adjust the intensity of the fouls accordingly.

But today the referee came up with a warning, which made them a little hesitant.

The game soon came to 15 minutes.

During this period, Manchester United had two chances, both of which were breakthroughs from Lemar's side and then moving to the offensive third zone for a second attack.

It's just a little rough when it comes to shooting.

Just as Simeone thought, Manchester United's attack never stopped in the early stage, and it was obvious that they would not stop until the ball was scored.

“The opportunity has come again!”

Rashford started from the wing, shook off Lemar and attracted Rodri, then took the opportunity to pass the ball to Pogba in the middle.

Atletico's defense suddenly became chaotic.

"Paul, give it to me!"

Chu Feng stood at the front of the penalty area, and even though there was someone behind him, he boldly shouted for the ball.

He could clearly feel that he was in very good shape! Pogba hesitated for a moment and passed the ball, but this back and forth delayed the opportunity.

Moreover, there were some flaws in the pass. The semi-high ball is very difficult to handle.

Jimenez and Godin also took defensive positions.

Everyone thought that the attack would fail.

But Chu Feng has no time to complain.

If the balls in the game were easy to handle, every player could become a superstar.

What is the actual situation? Only when facing the top defense can we still play at our best level and make the most appropriate decision in the shortest time.

The one who perfectly combines anti-interference ability with top-level ball-handling skills is a superstar!

Chu Feng observed that no one was defending him closely, so he boldly passed the ball to his side, swung his left foot and prepared to volley!

Godin blocked it subconsciously, but he was also careful.

Seeing that Godin was not fooled, Chu Feng swung his center of gravity greatly and made a few fake moves.

Then, regardless of how Godin responded, he took a step forward with his powerful explosive power, made room, and kicked again.

Godin finally couldn't help but slide to block! Bang!!! He stepped on the ball lightly with his left foot and pushed Lucas away with his back!

“Hoo-hoo-hoo!”

At this moment, Chu Feng's heart was beating as wildly as a drum, as if electric current was running through his whole body.

Although there were defenders in front of him, he always had an inexplicable premonition that he could score this goal! Mourinho once told him: "In addition to talent and hard work, the most important thing for a player is self-confidence."

Seeing this scene, Manchester United fans held their breath and clenched their fists tightly.

There was even more chaos in the commentary booth.

"No! Fake shot, dial again!"

“Fuck!”

"Is he dancing in the restricted area?"

Neville stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief, and kept explaining: "It's still a fake move, hold Jimenez and shoot!"

Oblak blocked the near corner tightly, and he couldn't think of how Chu Feng could score the ball.

But he overlooked one point.

Following his downward gaze, the football brushed against Rodri's shoes and passed through his crotch at high speed! It crashed into Atletico's goal!!!

1-0!!!

Being able to make the most advantageous decision in the shortest time and maximize one's advantage is the strongest point of a superstar!

And their superstar is Manchester United's No. 7! Old Trafford was completely boiling, facing the raised right fists of Manchester United fans.

Chu Feng ran wildly, jumped up, punched, and hit the air! He single-handedly challenged Atletico's defense and scored a goal. His mood was like a volcanic eruption, and it instantly reached its peak!

This is the thrill of football!
