Chapter 193
"Huh... There are several Manchester United players warming up on the sidelines!"
When Huang Jianxiang saw Manchester United's players in Milan celebrating wildly on the field, he finally made personnel adjustments. He sighed helplessly and smiled awkwardly:
"Oh, coach Ferguson is finally willing to make a substitution!"
"I believe that many fans in front of the TV must be confused like me at this moment..."
"Since Manchester United did not give up the game in advance, Ferguson can come up with new tactics, what did he do earlier?"
"Why do you have to wait until the opponent is almost forced into a desperate situation before you are willing to use substitutions and adjust the tactics to deal with it?"
After speaking, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality a little, and continued to introduce: "Okay, let's see Look at this substitution by Manchester United. "
"Replacing the mediocre central defender Evans with midfielder Carrick should be to strengthen the control of the midfield, so as to prevent and cut off the close connection between the opponent's midfield and frontcourt."
"Veteran Scholes also came on the field at this time and made a substitution with Nani who was exhausted."
"At the same time, the coach should want to use Scholes' excellent long pass and long-range shooting ability to increase the team's attack frequency and quality."
"After all, Manchester United should work hard to get a goal back in the away game! ! "
Before he finished speaking, coach Ferguson on the sidelines used the last substitution quota and made adjustments to the formation, which immediately surprised everyone in the studio.
"Manchester United actually replaced defender O'Shea with center forward Owen!"
Beckham saw this and his face was full of disbelief:
"In this way, Manchester United's defense line only has three people..."
"Victor and Evra are the central defenders, and Carrick is moved to the sideback, probably to defend the counterattack."
"Su Fan retreated to the most familiar front midfielder position, allowing Owen to go to the front to grab points or involve the opponent's defense line."
Speaking of this, his eyes immediately shifted to his old teammates:
"In addition, Carrick came to the position of the back midfielder, providing a barrier for the team's defense, while using his excellent passing and control ability to quickly adjust the rhythm of the game."
"In this way, Park Ji-sung's running and containment ability on the wing are liberated, and the team's progress The attacking end was greatly strengthened. "
"It seems that Manchester United is going to give it a try now!"
After listening, Van Basten shook his head and sneered: "In my opinion, Manchester United now wants to break the jar and gamble a bigger one."
"Either score a goal and let the team retain the hope of advancing to the next round of knockouts, or lose more ugly and become the team's shame in the history of the Champions League!"
"You know, they have not been able to come up with a way to limit the offense of Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho, and they can't steal the ball from Pirlo's feet."
"At this time, if you don't defend well, and then pick up leaks at the right time, and focus on doing a good job of defensive counterattack, it will be tantamount to "suicide" to blindly enhance offensive firepower!"
As soon as these words came out, the studio fell into silence.
Beckham and Cafu smiled and said nothing, which was considered to be tacitly agreeing with Van Basten's opinion.
Huang Jianxiang wanted to speak up, but he had to admit that although the other party's words were not pleasant, his views were well-founded. He couldn't find a breakthrough, so he had to sigh with his head down in the end.
Only Shevchenko was still curiously watching the game, and seemed to be looking forward to Su Fan and his team's next performance.
"Beep..."
The referee thought that the light rain would not affect the normal progress of the game, so he blew the whistle to resume the game.
Soon after Manchester United sent the ball out, they immediately stepped up their attack.
The substitutes seemed to have practiced countless times and quickly entered the rhythm of the game, and the ball possession rate in the midfield and frontcourt was significantly enhanced.
"Oh, they were anxious when they were 3 goals behind, and panicked when there were only 20 minutes left. What was Sir Ferguson doing earlier?"
Huang Jianxiang saw the Manchester United players on the field regaining their vitality, smiled bitterly and shook his head, with a tone of regret:
"It was raining heavily at the scene at this time. Of course, it was no big deal for Milan, who was leading by 3 goals. In fact, the bigger the rain, the more powerful it was for them."
"It was convenient for them to enjoy the game in the rain."
"But for Manchester United, who was eager to make a comeback, it was undoubtedly adding insult to injury!"
"You know, players have to run at high speed in the rain and avoid falling on the slippery grass. Not only do they need to consume more physical energy and attention, but they also have to bear the pressure brought by the score behind!"
"Besides, their offensive vision will be more or less blocked. It can be said that... Su Fan and his team's counterattack will inevitably be more difficult!!"
At this moment!
Manchester United's attack has achieved certain results.
Owen, who just came on the court, relied on his fullWith sufficient physical strength and flexible running, he successfully received Su Fan's through ball in the opponent's penalty area.
Then, he held his breath, used his strong muscle strength to withstand the constant pressure from Antonini from the side, strode forward, ran to the small penalty area, and kicked the ball! !
"Bang!"
At this moment, thousands of away fans sitting in the stands saw the ball kicked by Owen, which was like a white lightning, blasting towards the goal, and their dim eyes immediately lit up!
"Is it going to score?"
They were extremely excited:
"Is Owen going to be the savior of Manchester United in this game today?"
In the blink of an eye!
"Bang..."
Milan goalkeeper Abbiati just bent his knees and raised his hands to protect his chest, and the ball hit his gloves directly!
Then, the football refracted and bounced to the right side of the penalty area, and was caught by right back Zambrotta, who kicked it to the safe area of the court.
"OH... No!"
Seeing this, the Red Devils fans immediately put their hands on their heads with a look of regret, then shook their heads and sighed.
However, when they saw the team they supported finally started to attack and formed a threatening shot, hope was rekindled in their hearts.
There is still plenty of time!
Score a goal...
As long as they get one goal back, at least there is still a glimmer of hope for promotion! !
However, Owen's shot immediately alerted the entire Milan defense line.
Except for the central defender Thiago Silva, who is a Brazilian international, the other three of these four people play for the Italian national team, and naturally have extremely rich defensive experience and skills.
Moreover, Pirlo, Seedorf and other midfielders also felt that the opponent had a certain threat on the offensive end.
Therefore, they no longer pressed forward at will, retreated to the half court, and strengthened their own passing and interception in the midfield and backcourt.
In the next ten minutes.
Owen, Rooney and Park Ji-sung's "trident" can seize opportunities and make several threatening shots after receiving Sofan's pass.
But they are always a little unlucky. The ball either hits the post and goes slightly out, or is passed to the front of the goal but kicked out of the sideline by the defender or confiscated by the goalkeeper.
When the second half of the game reached the 76th minute.
The score is still "3-0".
Seeing this, the Manchester United fans in the stands can't help but become more solemn.
Even some beautiful female fans pout and have red eyes. It is obvious that it is difficult to accept the score and situation on the field at this time.
At this time, Ferguson, the head coach, remained calm on the sidelines, staring at Su Fan on the field with a firm look, as if waiting for something...
"There is not much time left for Manchester United to score a goal!"
After observing the situation on the field, Huang Jianxiang sighed: "If Manchester United's strikers can't score a goal before 80 minutes..."
"They will most likely not be able to score again in this game!"
"After all, we fans and spectators certainly hope that the players we support can run energetically on the field like Su Fan and Park Ji-sung."
After speaking, he paused, and then made his own objective analysis in a serious voice:
"But the actual situation is that the physical fitness of each player will be quite different."
" It is impossible for everyone to rush up at all times or make timely responses. "
"What's more, Manchester United is now facing AC Milan's "iron" defense line built with the Italian national team as the base. The difficulty of attack can be imagined! ! "
"Finally, it must be mentioned that Su Fan and his team are fighting back in the harsh environment of rainy days, under the pressure of exhaustion. Physical fitness and mentality will be the biggest stumbling blocks. "
"So, if the two sides fight until the 80th minute, the score on the field still has no change..."
"Manchester United's players will have to slow down the pace of attack because of their physical fitness, and at the same time beware of Milan's defensive counterattack style that they are very good at!"
Hearing this, countless Red Devils fans immediately felt half cold.
It is not difficult for everyone to see that after ten minutes of "strong attack", Manchester United did not score a goal and obviously reduced its control over the frontcourt.
Threatening passes or shots are also rapidly decreasing with the passage of time!
If Manchester United still cannot score before the 80th minute, there will be no chance of reaching the Champions League semi-finals. This has become a consensus among almost everyone at this moment! !
77th minute...
78th minute...
79th minute! !
Although the ball is still at Manchester United's feet, it has been unable to pass to AC Milan's penalty area. It seems that it can only circulate between the midfield and backfield! ! !
When the game time comes to the 80th minute, the ball will be passed to the AC Milan penalty area.80 minutes, with more than ten seconds left.
Manchester United's midfielders may feel that their physical fitness is not good, but because the team has no substitutions, they can only pass the ball back and forward while looking for Sufan.
"Bang..."
When the game entered the 80th minute, Sufan finally used the instep of his right foot near the top of the arc in the center circle to steadily receive the ball from Park Ji-sung on the wing.
"Follow Nani to run to the right position!!"
Huang Jianxiang saw the situation on the field at this time, and immediately "grinned" and frowned:
"Sufan must be anxious, otherwise how could he make such a low-level mistake..."
"The position where he retreated to get the ball was only two meters away from Nani on the left!"
"As a result, the two defenders of Milan only need to block Sufan's running and passing routes to stop the ball..."
Just saying!
Boateng, who was responsible for marking Nani, really went around in the first place, trying to block Sufan's running or through ball route in time.
At the same time, Seedorf, who came to assist in defense, immediately made a shovel shot from Sufan's side towards the rolling point of the ball!
Just when everyone thought...
If Sufan did not choose to pass the ball back to Victor who was responding behind him, he would most likely risk being intercepted by the opponent and pass the ball to Nani's feet, and then make a two-on-one wall cooperation.
The next moment!
The decision made by Sufan stunned countless fans and spectators inside and outside the stadium!
"Bang..."
When Sufan touched the ball again, it was unexpectedly passed to his teammate Nani's heel! !
Seeing this scene, Boateng and Seedorf were shocked and reacted immediately, twisting their bodies desperately, trying to block all routes before Sufan touched the ball again!
"Bang!"
And soon, Nani seemed to have practiced it countless times before the game, and he knocked the ball back slowly, and then sent the ball to the feet of Su Fan who was rushing up.
"Wow! It turns out that you can pass the ball this way!"
Huang Jianxiang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "All the playing styles and tactics of football are indeed the same in essence!"
"Su Fan and Nani really understand the 'wall match'!!"
"After passing two people at once, Su Fan quickly rushed through the opponent's half with the ball and was about to run to the penalty area, causing Milan's defense to become very passive and could only retreat continuously..."
"Su Fan almost ran out of the penalty area by himself..."
"Wait... He raised his foot!!"
"Is he trying to take a long shot nearly 30 meters away from the goal?"
"This is too risky!"
Speaking of this, he thought crazily in his heart:
"But time is really running out!!"
"Can he succeed?"
Just at this moment!
Su Fan on the field faced Thiago Silva who came to assist in defense, put down his raised foot... and made his own choice! ! !
