Chapter 1006

Throughout the first half, the Manchester United players played a bit depressed, and stepped into the green field with high spirits, but the opponent insisted on using "bus tactics" to block the 30-meter area of ​​​​the penalty area airtight. There is not much threat to the goal, and there is a bit of depression.

To the surprise of the players, in the locker room at halftime, Ferguson was not dissatisfied with the team's ineffective performance in the first half, and he didn't even criticize everyone's "inaction", which is different from what the old man used to do. styles are quite different.

In fact, Ferguson saw the situation in the first half very clearly. The reason why the scene was deadlocked had nothing to do with his team's performance. It can only be said that the opponent's defensive tactics were too thorough. To give them a chance to pose a threat, the entire penalty area is full of defensive players, which can be called a city wall. In such a situation, it is indeed very difficult to score goals.

After a few words of encouragement to his disciples, Ferguson made some adjustments to the team's lineup. Of course, it was about offensive adjustments. The best way to break the dense defensive tactics is naturally free kicks and long-range shots. However, Newcastle pays attention to the underfoot Move, don't foul easily, even if you can't avoid it, you will pay attention to the place of the foul, so Manchester United didn't get many chances to set the ball in the first half.

Another effective way is to break through, to break through the surface, tear the defense line with a sharp breakthrough, and even cause chaos in the opponent's defense line. In this way, there will be a chance to win in the chaos.Ferguson is not worried about this point. Both Fan Bizhuang and Kaka are players with strong breakthrough and individual combat capabilities. As long as this point is strengthened in the second half, they can also cause trouble for the opponent.

The old man replaced Rooney with Berbatov. The latter's specialty lies in its full impact, but its breakthrough skills in a small area are inevitably rough. Zhuang, Owen and others are far behind.

However, it is enough to have Fan Bizhuang and Kaka on the field. It is obviously impossible to send Owen to stir up trouble in the opponent's penalty area. What Manchester United needs is a tough standing center who can play for teammates , So Ferguson immediately replaced Berbatov, who has an outstanding ability to grab points.

That's not all, Ferguson also replaced Nani with O'Shea, and replaced a full-back with a defender. This is a signal to strengthen the defense, but it is not the case. O'Shea will replace Ferdinand after playing. The team's central defender, while Ferdinand was pushed up the striker.

Using a defender to play a striker seems a bit ingenious, even weird, but in fact, in today's football, this kind of "alternative" use of players is endless, such as Arsenal's captain Verma Lun, who is known as a "guard with a knife" because he is very good at scoring headers, sometimes when the situation is unfavorable, Wenger will push him to the front line and let him compete for the top.

Another example is the central defender Pique of Barcelona. The tall Pique is a good player in the defense line, but occasionally he will play as a midfielder or center forward. The effect is not bad. Make the ball and finish the shot by yourself.

Ferguson was also "inspired" by these examples, and he simply pushed Ferdinand, who is good at fighting for the top, to the front line. The only pure center forward in the Manchester United team is Berbatov, and Ferguson believes that only the Bulgarian is one. People, it is easy to be overwhelmed by Newcastle's iron barrel formation, so Ferdinand is also brought up to share the pressure and hope that the opponent can create opportunities for teammates.

But in this way, Fan Bizhuang's position will be retreated, but it doesn't matter. Fan Bizhuang was born as a full-back. He can play in almost multiple positions in the frontcourt, and even retreating can get more balls. Opportunities, and Fan Bizhuang, who rushed with the ball, was obviously more aggressive.

"In the second half, we mainly played on the two sides. When we got the ball, we passed it into the penalty area. Dimita and Leo were responsible for grabbing points. Your task is to grab the point and then make the ball for the teammate who runs in. Of course, there are Chances are you can also choose to shoot yourself. Understand?"

Ferguson issued the combat order for the second half.

It was very simple and straightforward, and the players all nodded in understanding.

……

After 15 minutes, the two teams returned to the game field.

Compared with Manchester United's adjustment of personnel and lineup, Newcastle's side did not change at all. In the first half, they used crowd tactics to suppress Manchester United. Facts have proved that this is indeed a very successful strategy. Since it is successful, So naturally there is no need to change.

But soon, Newcastle felt the pressure from the opponent.

Manchester United is still the main attacking side, and the difference from the first half is that Manchester United reduced the number of ground passes and cooperation, and more of them transferred the ball to the two sides, and then passed directly into the penalty area.

This is a very "brainless" crossing tactic, which is quite retro. After all, English football has always been a long pass in history, with a fast pace and rough technique. With the development of modern football, the Premier League has gradually Also keeping up with the trend, the players' small skills and passing ability have been enhanced a lot. After all, the football is always flying around in the air. Although it is direct and fast-paced, it lacks a sense of beauty.

But at this moment, Manchester United has completely become a "rough" team. After getting the ball, they just hit the wing and then make a pass from the bottom.

In fact, in the second half of the first half, Manchester United also tried more tactics from the side, but whether it is Rooney or Van Bizhuang, facing the home team full of tall defenders, their height does not account for much. Advantages, Rooney is full of impact, but the ability to grab points is average, Fan Bizhuang is outstanding in grabbing points and jumping ability, but the defenders of the home team who also know this point just pester Fan Bizhuang and don't give Fan Bizhuang too much jumping ability. top chance.

It can be said that Manchester United's cross tactics in the first half were not successful.

But after substitutions and adjustments, the same tactics achieved different results.

Berbatov and Ferdinand are like two nails, firmly nailed in the penalty area. With their strong bodies and heights, they constantly put pressure on the home team's defenders.Although not every time they can successfully fight for the first point, as long as they win once, they can cause a lot of chaos in the penalty area.

That's all, the most troublesome thing for the defenders of the home team is that Fan Bizhuang was hiding behind Berbatov and Ferdinand. With the cover of the two, Fan Bizhuang withdrew from the front line, but he was even more powerful , Swimming around like a fish, as long as his teammates grab the first point and point the ball down, Fan Bizhuang will always appear in the most suitable position by surprise, either hitting the goal or cutting inside, which makes Manchester United's offensive It is becoming more and more threatening. Although it has not scored a goal so far, Newcastle's goal has fallen into a precarious situation.

Coupled with Kaka's frequent advances and heavy bombardment, the home team's goal has been subjected to a more severe test. Harper has become the busiest person on the field.

Watching his own goal being attacked by Manchester United again and again, Magpies head coach Alan Pardew watched with eyebrows twitching from the sidelines. He didn't expect that Manchester United, who were "suffocated" in the first half, had nothing to do but passed With a small personnel adjustment, he has gained such a big advantage.

He sees it clearly that if the situation is allowed to continue to deteriorate, it will not be too far before his team is scored.

Pardew paced back and forth anxiously, but he couldn't think of a good solution for a while. The team's own strength is not as good as Manchester United. It is a risky move to give up the initiative on the field. If it goes well, the players will become more confident as they play. If it goes wrong, it will hurt morale.

Obviously, Newcastle did a good job defending in the first half, and the players of the home team didn't think there was anything wrong, but at this moment, the goal was frequently threatened, and naturally the more they played, the less morale they played.

But Pardew did not have the confidence or courage to let the team overturn the established strategy before the game and instead attack and compete with Manchester United.

He could only yell anxiously on the sidelines while making various gestures, either encouraging or instructing the team to grit their teeth and persevere, but the actual effect is very average.

"Ferguson's team seems to have found a good way to deal with the opponent's bus tactics! Manchester United's offensive is becoming more and more threatening!"

"Newcastle couldn't stand it anymore... Leo, Ferdinand! He took the first point again, swung his head and the ball just missed the post... the Manchester United defender was very impressive after being pushed up the line People are amazed, could it be that Ferdinand was born with the attributes of a center forward?"

"Berbatov! The Bulgarian headed the ball away... Fan followed up and shot! Oh, oh, wonderful save, Harper almost missed the ball!"

"Kaka rushed forward with the ball, and the Brazilian started to try more long-range shots...a long-range shot from 28 meters away from the goal...It's a pity, the football is slightly higher than the crossbar!"

In such a dense and powerful offensive frenzy, Newcastle's defense finally had problems, and the way of conceding the ball made all the home team fans hide their faces and be speechless.

No.701 minutes, the climax of Manchester United's continuous attack went through two shots. After being blocked twice, the football fell to the outside of the penalty area again. Fan Bizhuang rushed to the spot sharply, but he didn't choose to hit the goal , but without hesitation hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

Berbatov was entangled with the opponent's defender, while Ferdinand jumped high, facing the falling football and was about to shake his head and attack the goal.Argentine central defender Coloccini jumped up almost at the same time. Although he was five centimeters shorter than Ferdinand, in this confrontation, Coloccini was the first to hit the football.

But in the process of competing with Ferdinand for the top, Coloccini made a mistake. He originally wanted to push the ball, but there was some deviation from the prediction. The football hit his head and changed from top to top. It became a rub, and the football drew a strange arc under the rub of the back of his head, heading straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

No matter how fast Harper's reaction was, it didn't help. His teammate's "infernal affairs" caught him off guard. He turned around and wanted to wave, but finally gave up—the football bypassed him and hit the ground, bouncing slowly. Goal.

The hustle and bustle of St. James' Park stagnated. Immediately, the Manchester United players reacted first. Ferdinand glanced at the football in the goal, raised his hands, and ran to celebrate loudly.
