Chapter 288 Get familiar with Sheffield United's dominant style from today(3/4)
With several Matic interceptions, Sheffield United also launched a threatening counterattack. Not only did Li Mo get a chance to shoot a long shot from outside the penalty area, but Bell also let Carrick, who was late in defense,
Got a yellow card!
This made Manchester United's already barely supportive backcourt defense even worse.
Sheffield United may only need to play another threatening attack without Bell's sudden attack. Even if Li Mo and Joaquin break through from the center, Carrick will not dare to make any big defensive moves.
If he is sent off, then Manchester United can basically surrender.
However, Ferguson was still sitting on the coaching bench very calmly at this moment, with no intention of making any adjustments. Li Mo had to admire this calmness.
If it were another coach, he might have to let the midfielder on the bench warm up at this time, but Ferguson just dared to bet!
His calmness also gave great confidence to the Manchester United players on the field.
Fletcher even took the initiative to switch positions with Carrick. He went to play deep defense, allowing Carrick to move forward to help Rooney organize and dispatch.
Needless to say, as soon as they changed positions, Manchester United's biggest defensive threat in the backcourt disappeared instantly.
Although it only disappears temporarily, after all, if Fletcher gets a yellow card later, he and Carrick will both be in an embarrassing defensive problem.
But now Manchester United doesn't care about that much. Instead of thinking about defensive issues, it's better to think about how to score a goal first.
If you can't score two goals, you lose. Now Manchester United has no retreat and can only move forward at all costs.
This was a huge gamble between Ferguson and Manchester United. Before Sheffield United scored the third goal, they still had a chance of a comeback. For this possibility, Ferguson continued to maintain the three-forward offensive formation and replaced
And oily Giggs.
No one knows what Giggs can bring to the current Manchester United, not even Ferguson himself.
He can only trust his beloved disciple, like all the backward moments in the past.
Under the pressure of being beaten by Sheffield United at any time, Rooney finally took the ball and found an opportunity in Sheffield United's half.
After passing by Van Persie, Rooney held the ball and faced the defense of Dembele who was retreating. Evra came in at high speed from the left. Rooney did not pass the ball. Evra had no choice but to come back and so did Trippier.
Slowly walked out next to Evra.
Rooney handed the ball to Carrick who stepped forward to meet him. Evra suddenly turned around and once again penetrated Sheffield United's penalty area from the ribs!
Trippier returned to defense immediately, but Carrick did not pass the ball forward, but split the ball again!
Giggs, who was leisurely waiting on the side just now, is the player who really wants to go forward!
Dembele quickly pulled over to intercept, but after Giggs stopped the ball, he decisively chose to cross!
The target is not Evra and Rooney who have already inserted into the penalty area, nor is it Ashley Young who is preparing to outflank the Sheffield United penalty area.
But it was Van Persie who had been hovering on the edge of the Sheffield United penalty area after covering Rooney before!
This is Manchester United's best chance since the start of the second half.
Maguire and Vertonghen were positioned in the penalty area to guard against other Manchester United offensive players. Matic, who was closest to Van Persie, had to run two or three meters to get close to him.
If Van Persie stopped the ball and then considered the next offensive move, Matic would have had enough time to drive him out of Sheffield United's defensive third zone, but Van Persie chose the most unlikely offensive method!
Giggs' cross ball had a strong spinning trajectory. To be honest, the fort was not well built this time, not even a cannon stand.
But Van Persie has this ability in the past two years!
On the edge of Sheffield United's penalty area, Van Persie chose to volley directly without stopping the ball!
Draw your bow, nock an arrow, and shoot!
Van Persie completed this series of actions in one go.
The football he kicked also drew a strange arc in the air.
Sommer clearly saw that the ball was about to go over the crossbar of the goal, but at the last moment, the football fell strangely and rapidly, and finally hit the inside of the junction between the crossbar and the goal post, and fell into the Sheffield United goal.
!
Sommer was dumbfounded.
This ball was simply not within the goalkeeper's common sense. From such a close distance, Van Persie volleyed the elevator ball!
He also happened to hit the absolute blind spot of the goal!
If it misses a little, the ball will bounce back. If you ask Van Persie to kick it again, even if there is no goalkeeper to defend him, he may not be able to replicate this goal again if he kicks it a thousand or ten thousand times!
However, under such great pressure, Van Persie kicked out. Sommer was helpless. Speed on the sidelines also waved his hands and said bluntly, "What a hell!".
All the frustration in Van Persie's heart finally had an outlet. He frantically skated and knelt near the Sheffield United corner flag to celebrate!
All the Manchester United players ran over like crazy and pushed him down on the turf!
Thousands of Manchester United fans at the scene burst into crazy cheers. Rooney's ferocious roaring face was completely captured by the live broadcast camera. This scene made countless Manchester United fans in front of the TV excited and shed tears!
They are not dead yet! They are still alive! They still have a chance to beat Sheffield United!
Ferguson closed his eyes, finally took out his pockets with trembling hands, and with difficulty asked the assistant coach to arrange for the players to warm up.
While all the Manchester United supporters were cheering, Li Mo jogged back from Manchester United's half, and his actions attracted the attention of countless people.
"Hey! Don't forget our goal! The second half of the game has just begun, and I am full of energy now. Come on, come here! We still have to fight! We can still score! Believe me, believe my brothers, Harry,
Tell Sommer he did a great job and that ball was just an accident! Damn the ball! That's not his responsibility! We need to be a little more aggressive."
In his passionate speech, Li Mo extended his hand to all the teammates he met along the way.
He knew that in the noisy environment, it was actually difficult for his teammates to hear what he said, but he didn't care. Under the current situation, the Sheffield United players only needed to know that their captain was still maintaining a high spirits.
fighting spirit, this is enough!
After high-fiving each other, Li Mo applauded vigorously to give his teammates confidence.
This is not a show. At this time, someone needs to stand up and encourage the whole team. Li Mo's performance is worthy of the captain's armband on his arm, and countless commentators are moved by his behavior.
"No matter what time, Li Mo will be the most solid backing for other Sheffield United players! At this time, Sheffield United also needs him to step up and show leadership. Li Mo told his teammates with practical actions not to panic, they are still in control
Taking the initiative on the field and continuing the previous rhythm of the game, Sheffield United still has a high possibility of winning a big victory. At this time, they must be stable. If they are stable, Manchester United will start to worry."
While Zhang Lu praised Li Mo's performance, he continued to stick to his point of view.
Manchester United cannot support this kind of game rhythm for a whole game. Even if Sheffield United only maintains a high-intensity fight, Manchester United will lose its ability to control the game in the last twenty minutes of the game. By then Sheffield United can
Another fatal blow.
In other words, if Manchester United is dragged behind them, Manchester United itself will collapse because its physical strength cannot sustain it. This is the safest way.
But inspired by Li Mo, the Sheffield United players did not want to drag out the game any longer. After the restart, they launched a fierce attack against the red-eyed Manchester United!
Speed was also aggressive and asked Vardy and De Bruyne to start warming up together!
If Manchester United can make a comeback with a two-goal lead, then he will apologize to the media after the game!
Now he just wants to completely crush Manchester United. If one offensive player is not enough, he will use two offensive players!
Ferguson dared to bet, and Speed also dared to bet that today he would either beat Manchester United to death or be beaten to death by Manchester United. Speed would rather lose than let Manchester United equalize the score when he was two goals ahead. Sheffield United could not afford to lose.
This person!
Players on both sides almost showed their 100% passion and ability. Manchester United went crazy when they saw the hope of equalizing, but Sheffield United refused to give in at all and began to press forward as a whole!
When the foreign commentator saw this scene, he bluntly said that the coaches and players on both sides had given everything they had and completely lost their minds!
The fans were thoroughly entertained!
The game between Bayern and Dortmund has not broken yet, but Sheffield United and Manchester United have already gone crazy. Although there were not many goals, they were all exciting and the game was exciting. I did not watch this game today.
The fans are really at a huge loss.
Li Mo still remained partially conscious amidst the overwhelming passion.
Now Sheffield United is pressing hard, and Manchester United can't beat it. Therefore, Sheffield United has enough offensive forces in Manchester United's half, and the two wings are also deployed smoothly.
He no longer needs to step out of the penalty area to help pass the ball and distribute the ball. Finding ways to better obtain kicking opportunities is what he should do most now.
In the Manchester United penalty area, most of the defenders focused on him. It was difficult to score goals using conventional methods of grabbing points, so he had to change his tactics.
He hasn't figured out how to change it yet, but he has to be mentally prepared at all times. His technical and physical advantages are enough to support him in making many shocking shots that can only be seen in highlights in the past. So at this time, timing and imagination are the most important.
Yes, he must seize the best opportunity.
In the 72nd minute of the second half, after several attacks from the left and right wings were unsuccessful, Dembele, who was in possession of the ball, began to signal Bell to cut inside.
Even if the effect of the inward cut is not good, it can at least create a gap in Manchester United's defense, and then there will be more opportunities for splitting or returning the ball.
Joaquin also frequently changes positions with Dembele, trying to find a channel to pass the ball into the Manchester United penalty area. Li Mo is just short of a good pass now. As long as he can pass the ball, Li Mo can always think of it.
A way to create opportunities to score goals.
In the 74th minute of the second half, Bell failed to cut inside and passed the ball back to Joaquin, who was responding, and then pulled away to continue asking for the ball.
His small skills are not very good, so his performance in a narrow space is very limited, and he must find ways to establish more frequent connections with other teammates.
Li Mo suddenly moved closer to him at this time. There were many defenders in Manchester United's penalty area, but the opportunity was rare. Bell could only pass the ball over first, and then directly went down, hoping to have a collision with Li Mo.
But this time Li Mo turned sideways towards the Manchester United goal, and then used the arch of his left foot to knock upward the football passed by Bell in mid-air!
The football bounced high and then began to fall from the air, but almost everyone didn't know what Li Mo's intention was.
Only the other Sheffield United players and Speed had their eyes widened!
