LRAB Chapter 605
Chapter 605
"Glory glory ManUnited~"
"Glory glory ManUnited~"
"Glory glory ManUnited~"
The 15-minute halftime break passed in a flash, and the players of both sides followed the head coach back to the stadium with serious expressions.
On the south stand, the Red Devils fans sang "Glory to Manchester United" again, cheering for the home team.
Of course, the Blue Moon fans on the north stand were not to be outdone. Without anyone taking the lead, tens of thousands of people spontaneously joined the chorus of "Blue Moon".
"Blue Moon~"
"You know just what I was there for~"
"You heard me saying a prayer for~"
The melodious singing of both sides did not ease the tense atmosphere on the court, but made the gunpowder smell even stronger.
"Ahem."
The two commentators in the ESPN live broadcast room returned to the screen after the advertisement and made a simple summary of the first half.
"The second half of the game is about to begin."
"In terms of personnel adjustments..."
"Both coaches have maintained the original starting lineups of the first half."
"It seems that both Ferguson and Guardiola."
"They are quite satisfied with the team's performance in the first half and are unwilling to make substitutions easily to destroy the existing chemical reaction."
"Beep!"
"The referee blew the whistle."
"The second half officially begins, Manchester City has the ball."
The moment Su Fei kicked the ball to Cassano who came to his side, all the midfielders and frontcourt players of Manchester City suddenly accelerated and started to move forward.
Originally, they wanted to implement high-position pressure.
Rooney, who put pressure on Su Fei, had his pupils shrink, and immediately gave up marking Su Fei and turned back to defend.
Not just Rooney.
The rest of the Manchester United players also realized the crisis, turned around and stepped forward to participate in the team's defense this time.
"Blitzkrieg!"
"Here it comes!"
"Manchester City kicked off with a multiplayer blitzkrieg like the one against Watford!"
"In the blink of an eye!"
"Several Manchester City players have already rushed to the front court and approached the attacking third zone!"
"But Manchester United's reaction was also very fast!"
"Obviously!"
"They have studied Manchester City's blitzkrieg kick-off!"
On the court, Cassano took two steps with the ball, crossed the center line, and then made a high pass.
The position across the center circle in the middle.
Su Fei, who was running forward, raised his head and quickly glanced at the flying football, and instantly determined the landing point in his mind.
Then.
After approaching Manchester United's midfielder Carrick, he stopped, turned around, used his body to block, and leaned against Carrick.
Su Fei jumped up.
He did not choose to unload the ball himself, but headed the ball to Modric who was inserted in the right rib area.
Modric raised his left foot and unloaded the ball.
Quickly observing Manchester United's backcourt position, he found that Manchester United players had completed one-on-one defense in the backcourt.
First time.
There was no contact point at the front point.
Facing Ronaldo's attack, he carefully chose to pass the ball back to Sun Jihai who was on the right.
Manchester City's lightning-fast opening rhythm.
Suddenly pulled the plug.
Forced to slow down, from mobile warfare to positional warfare.
"Manchester City wanted to launch a blitzkrieg at the start."
"But it didn't work."
"Manchester United players reacted too quickly."
"After the referee blew the whistle and saw the opponent's players advance, they immediately gave up the high pressure and returned to defense, not giving any chances."
"Two teams."
"The first tactical confrontation after the start of the second half."
"Handshake and make peace."
"No one got the upper hand."
...............................................................
On the side of the court, Guardiola was dragging his left elbow with his right hand and grabbing his chin with his left hand.
He frowned imperceptibly.
I couldn't help but glance at Ferguson, who was still expressionless and chewing gum not far away.
I had a sense of crisis that my thoughts seemed to be predicted by Ferguson in advance.
Originally, I thought.
Arranging a blitzkrieg kick-off at the start of the second half may not result in a goal, but at least it will give the team a chance to threaten a goal.
Unexpectedly.
Manchester United reacted so quickly.
Don't threatenShoot.
Unexpectedly, they failed to successfully send the ball into the attacking third zone quickly....
On the other side.
Ferguson seemed to have no expression, but in fact, the frequency of his chewing gum had unconsciously become faster and faster.
In the heart of the red-nosed old man.
There was no pride in guessing the opponent's tactics, only lingering fear.
Just now.
When Cassano sent that high pass to Su Fei.
Ferguson was really scared.
Su Fei made a violent turn, passed Carrick, and then performed a Marseille turn, a pendulum pass... or sent a fatal through ball to his teammates.
Although he didn't get Su Fei.
But after two seasons, Ferguson must be one of the few people in the world who is most familiar with Su Fei's current ability.
Because Su Fei has been in every game.
He has been paying attention.
The two head coaches have their own thoughts and pressures. The second half of this final battle of the Champions League is destined to be not peaceful.
Both teams will try their best to blast the opponent's goal in the next half.
No one.
Want to drag this game into overtime.
Or.
A more brutal penalty shootout.
.............................................................
51st minute of the game.
Manchester United attacked in a big way, and all Manchester City players returned to defense.
In the front court.
Manchester United players lined up in a line, passing the ball continuously, from Evra to Rooney to Saha, and finally to Ronaldo's feet on the right.
Ronaldo stopped the ball at his feet.
Modric cooperated with Sun Jihai to harass.
Double attack.
Ronaldo stretched out his elbow and hit Modric's chest, creating a little space for himself.
Then.
Suddenly, the ball rolled past Sun Jihai's feet.
Sun Jihai's reaction was fast enough, turning around quickly and moving his body at the same time, trying to block Ronaldo's position.
But.
In front of Ronaldo, it was not fast enough.
Ronaldo exploded instantly, not only did not let Sun Jihai block him, but also successfully got the ball, another trip.
He opened a distance of one body length from Sun Jihai.
"C Ronaldo!!"
"Break out of the double-team of Jihai and Modric!!"
"C Ronaldo!!"
"Drop the ball to the bottom!!"
"C Ronaldo has a chance to pass the ball to assist in this ball, Rooney, Saha, and Giggs' coordinated forward penetration is very fast!!"
"C Ronaldo!!"
"Sweep the penalty area and pass it!!"
In the Athens Olympic Sports Center, all the fans in the stands, more than 60,000 pairs of eyes, stared at Ronaldo's ground-rolling pass from the right side of the penalty area in front of the goal.
Danger! !
Manchester City fans smelled the smell of danger, and many Red Devils fans stood up, raised their arms high, ready to cheer.
Dunn fell to the ground and tackled.
But he could only watch the ball roll past his toes in despair.
Zambrotta leaned forward and kicked.
But he couldn't touch the ball.
The ball passed through Manchester City's penalty area and came all the way to the left.
"Bang!"
Giggs volleyed the ball.
The ball ricocheted and flew straight to Manchester City's goal.
