knife guard

Chapter 626
Manchester United's players are seasoned veterans. Even youngsters like Anderson and Asian players like Park Ji-sung have experienced the honing of last year's Champions League knockout round. After a short period of shock, frustration and anger, they quickly accepted that they were behind The situation stabilized and launched a fierce counterattack.

Fortunately for Ferguson and Manchester United, they did not plan to defend to the death in this game. Although the personnel arrangement was more defensive, they still took offense into account, so that they would not be forced to make substitutions and strengthen the offensive because they fell behind. Of course, it was because they did not Choosing to stick to it, revealed some flaws in defense, and was scored by Li Huan with a long shot from 50 meters away.

The Hoffenheim players also understand that a one-goal lead is by no means safe. As long as Manchester United scores another goal, a draw will send them home to watch TV. Intercept Manchester United's offense in the midfield to reduce the pressure on the defense.

The Red Devils fans in the stands also returned to normal. Under the leadership of the fans in the South Stand, they continued to cheer for Manchester United players with applause and shouts.Encouraged by Li Huan's goal, the fans of Hoffenheim were excited and shouted in unison. Compared with the more than 7 Red Devils fans, they were not inferior in momentum.

After a burst of passionate shouting, Sina commentator Huang Jianxiang said convincingly: "Li Huan's performance can only be described with three 'no's', unquestionable, indisputable, and indescribable. He touched the ball with both feet. In 57 seconds, Manchester United was completely passive. This long-range shot was thrilling, ten meters farther than Ronaldo's last long-range shot. This was Li Huan's 15th Champions League goal, breaking the 47 As a defender, Li Huan's football talent is really outstanding, and his performance makes us wonder where the limit of human sports is."

Ferguson no longer has the mind to sit on the coach's bench. He constantly directs the players' offense and defense and running positions on the sidelines. He would not do these things normally, because everything has been arranged before the game. The execution of the Manchester United players Ability also completely reassures him, but now, Ferguson feels that the situation seems to be a bit out of his control.

In addition to being uneasy, Ferguson was also very curious about Li Huan's performance in this position that he had never played before.In order to cover up the eyes and ears of reporters and Manchester United scouts, Hoffenheim did not have much time for Li Huan to adapt to this position. Even if Li Huan's talent in the guard position is good, it may be difficult to play well as a midfielder, right?thought Ferguson.

In fact, not only Ferguson, but Hoffenheim fans also really want to see Li Huan's performance in the midfielder position. After all, the responsibilities and requirements of the midfielder and the defender are different. If the central defender is not inferior to the midfielder The relationship between the full-back and the defensive midfielder is simply irrelevant except for the requirement to be able to run.

However, Li Huan's performance in the midfielder position surprised everyone. As a member of the double midfielder, Li Huan is actually selling dog meat with a sheep's head. He is not fixed at the midfielder position at all. , Li Huan covered the entire front half of the penalty area with his superhuman speed of less than ten seconds per [-] meters. Whether it was the left or the right, whenever there was a loophole in the defense, Li Huan would always be there.When attacking, Li Huan not only used long passes to launch a counterattack, but also often dribbled the ball straight into Manchester United's half. Since Li Huan scored with a ground-breaking long shot just at the beginning of the game, Manchester United's defense in the center was under a lot of pressure. , Don't dare to defend the sideways easily.

Seeing Li Huan at the front of Hoffenheim's penalty area like a firefighter everywhere on the left, center and right, without any regard for his physical strength, Ferguson sneered and shouted to the Manchester United players: "Long pass transfer! Speed ​​up the pass." speed!"

Ferguson's move is very vicious. He wants to use a large amount of ball transfer to consume Li Huan's physical energy. In such a tense and intense game, running like Li Huan will guarantee that he will lose his energy after halftime.

Manchester United players are very capable of long passes. They constantly shift the ball to the left and right, attacking Hoffenheim's weak defense and consuming the physical strength of Li Huan and Hoffenheim players.

But Li Huan is not an idiot either. He ran without hesitation after scoring the goal just to withstand Manchester United's crazy counterattack and stabilize the leading situation. After 10 minutes, Arshavin and Saryhovic retreated step by step to Hoffenheim. In the halftime, a strong support was formed for the two wingers.Li Huan also began to gradually change from defense to offense with the ball.

The game lasted about 10 minutes. Manchester United's counterattack did not result in a goal, not even a threatening shot. Hoffenheim's defense was very effective and targeted.Baker shined brilliantly on the right, but Evra and Park Ji-sung were unable to take advantage of this young man. Even Baker's occasional loopholes were quickly made up by Li Huan.With the help of Salihovic and Li Huan, Ibetsberg on the left also blocked Rooney's attack.In the middle, Ronaldo was haunted by Timoshchuk, and Li Huan appeared at his side at any time to defend. Ronaldo played harder than Rooney and Park Ji-sung.

In fact, the lack of threat of Manchester United's offense is also related to Hoffenheim's changes. Ferguson's pre-match design focused on defense on the right side, and the offense was mainly on the center and left, so Park Ji-sung was played and Ronaldo played. Center forward, but Li Huan turned into a defensive midfielder, completely suppressing the offense of Ronaldo, Carrick, and Fletcher. At least half of the offense was abolished. It will not be easy for Lenovo to reverse the decline in one fell swoop.

In addition, there is another point that gave Ferguson a headache, that is, Hoffenheim put up a strange formation today. In the 442 formation, the two forwards Sarihovic and Arshavin each occupy one side, leaving the entire center to Li Huan and the two Forwards, this kind of formation is rare, but because of the reduced number of players in the middle, Li Huan can fully utilize Li Huan's speed advantage, allowing Li Huan to reach Manchester United's frontcourt as quickly as possible after receiving the ball.Li Huan's long-range shot is so powerful, how could Carrick and Fletcher dare to assist forward so easily.

After Hoffenheim stabilized their position, they began to launch a fierce counterattack from the middle. Li Huan had the opportunity to get the ball from the front, back, left, and right sides of the midfielder. It became very difficult for Manchester United to control Li Huan to get the ball unless Ronaldo kept a close eye on Li Huan. , but at this time Ronaldo has put all his thoughts on the goal. Li Huan's kick deeply stimulated him. He is a selfish ghost. How could he sacrifice himself to defend Li Huan? For Ronaldo, scoring more goals than Li Huan and beating Hoffenheim is the most important thing.

In the 12th minute of the game, Carrick made a long pass from the backcourt. Ronaldo failed to get the ball in the double-team of Li Huan and Tymoshchuk. Li Huan pushed the ball in front of Arshavin on the wing. Arshavin immediately Then he passed the ball to Li Huan in the middle. Li Huan stopped the ball and pulled it back, and then turned around. Ronaldo, who was chasing after him, was thrown to the side in embarrassment.

Li Huan turned around and dribbled the ball again, C Ronaldo chased him again, but Li Huan continuously dribbled the ball to an emergency stop, and then dribbled the ball after an emergency stop, C Ronaldo is not a full-time defensive player like Li Huan, so he was dizzy and kicked in anger Down Li Huan, was awarded a free kick.

Liu Yang in the stands looked at the one to relieve his anger, slapped his hands vigorously, and said: "Brother Huan is great at handling the ball. He played Ronaldo like a monkey. I saw Harvey's shadow. After the first fight Such a beautiful waist, what a genius."

Fatty Uncle Wang agreed: "I remember that three years ago, Huanzi was not quite used to being in the middle lane, but now he has made great progress compared to before, and can completely take care of the whole situation. Don't think he didn't look back, in fact, he has already I saw Ronaldo chasing after him."

The distance of this free kick is relatively far, about 40 meters away. Although Li Huan just scored a goal with a long shot from 50 meters away, it was because Van der Sar was in the front position and had no preparations. Now he wants to score directly. When he was very young, Li Huan cooperated with Arshavin and launched an attack from his familiar right.

Baker, who is the right back in this game, is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and he also boldly assisted from the wing, and together with Li Huan and Arshavin, he attacked Evra and Park Ji-sung.

Seeing that the right side was tight, Fletcher in the middle didn't dare to neglect, and quickly came to defend from the middle.

Li Huan moved forward with the ball, Baker and Arshavin responded back and forth, and quickly advanced to the bottom line. Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saviola in the middle also quickly outflanked and responded to the penalty area.

Park Ji-sung was originally a pawn that Sir Alex used to deal with Li Huan, but because Li Huan went to the middle, it didn't work. This time, the two finally had a chance to fight.

Park Ji-sung was very brave, he wanted to step forward to entangle Li Huan, or use a foul to bring Li Huan down and send a free kick.But he immediately found that his wishful thinking was wrong. Facing a player like Li Huan, even if he wanted to foul, he needed a chance. Park Ji-sung was not within two meters of Li Huan, and Li Huan accurately judged his step. Rushing over from the side of the supporting foot where he landed first, Park Ji-sung tried to stretch out his hand to pull Li Huan, but after Li Huan rushed up like a light truck, Park Ji-sung's single-handed pull did not affect Li Huan at all. Instead, he leaned over and fell to the ground.

Li Huan passed Park Ji-sung and continued to rush forward. Fletcher's style of play was very tough. He directly made a sliding tackle, trying to shovel Li Huan with the ball, but Li Huan's kick was one step faster. Passed the ball to Baker before.

Li Huan, Fletcher, and Park Ji-sung all fell to the ground. Baker and Arshavin hit Evra one by one.

Central defender Ferdinand was pulled out, Vidic caught Ruud van Nistelrooy, Carrick caught up with Saviola, none of the four touched the ball, but Sarihovic circled to O'Shea from the back point forward.Aiming at the lower right corner of the goal, Van der Sar was helpless, and the Manchester United fans almost didn't dare to watch the goal. The Hoffenheim fans stood up and were ready to applaud.

But the ball hit the right post and was ejected!
