Soccer Super Marksman

Although Manchester United achieved an overwhelming victory against Middlesbrough last season, it does not mean that Manchester United can easily win every time they face Middlesbrough.

Manchester United won the Premier League last season and has become the target of public criticism in England. All teams are studying and targeting Manchester United. Whether it is defeating or drawing Manchester United, it can bring huge attention to the team and stimulate the fan market and Team morale, which makes Manchester United a thorn in the opponent's side, doing everything possible to contain Manchester United's offense.

Cui Zhen takes every match seriously, regardless of the strength of the opponent, this is not only a manifestation of professionalism, but also one of the reasons why he has become stronger.

The reason is simple, these seemingly ordinary opponents are an important training stage for him to consolidate and hone his skills and improve himself.

It is impossible for a player to start from League Two, beat the strongest team in League Two today, and expect to beat the League One team tomorrow, and then challenge the Championship team the day after tomorrow.

Strong-strong dialogue is a hurdle, but it does not mean that beating a strong team once can become a team or player of the same level as a strong team. Before facing the next challenge from a stronger opponent, the accumulated new experience must be turned into strength. Constantly consolidate, hone, and sublimate.

Therefore, Cui Zhen takes every game very seriously, no matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, a strong team is a challenge, and a weak team is a necessary process to maintain the state and integrate and strengthen what you have learned.

In this match against Middlesbrough, Cui Zhen encountered some difficulties due to the opponent's targeted deployment, but it was these difficulties that made Cui Zhen even more excited.

In the 29th minute of the game, Fellaini successfully broke through Christie from the right and made a pass from the bottom. The football was cleared by defender Ayala with a header.

The heroic Tang Ning dribbled forward along the sidewalk with a strong impact.

There is a hot flame burning in his heart, which symbolizes his fighting spirit. Maybe one game will not change anything, and will not make the outside world look at him with admiration, but he is stubborn to prove that he is no worse than the geniuses of Manchester United!
Tang Ning did not attack Smalling's defense, but directly kicked the ball at 45 degrees from the side to look for striker Bamford in the back of the penalty area.

Tangning passed the ball quickly and quickly.It's a pity that striker Bamford ran too far, and Damian calmly cleared the header.

However, the football that Damian cleared out landed on the right side outside the penalty area, and Leadbeater stopped the ball steadily on the right side in front of the penalty area.

He just did what a full-back should do: cross!

The superb footwork is still there, and the keen insight into the overall situation will not disappear out of thin air.Leadbeater sent an excellent cross!
The football landed in the area between Damian and Bailly.Forward Assomba Longa shot diagonally from Bailly, and before the football fell to the ground, he swept the ball towards the goal with the top of his feet!
The distance from the goal was no more than 12 yards. At such a close distance, De Gea did not move in advance, and when he saw the football flying to the lower right corner of the goal, he was powerless to save it again!

After striker Assumbalonga scored, he rushed to the sidelines excitedly to receive the cheers from the Middlesbrough fans at the Riverside Stadium!
Every Middlesbrough player, whether attacking or defending, celebrates passionately at this moment!
What they broke was the defending champion Manchester United's goal!
"Assombalonga scored! An assist from Leadbeet! It was a fantastic goal and rewarded for Middlesbrough's steadfast execution. Their high-altitude bombing was extremely effective. With Manchester United's defensive system, Downing's cross might not be that threatening, but it caused confusion in Manchester United's defense in a short period of time. Before they could adjust in time, Leadbitt launched a second attack from the outside. Delsburg is done!"

The Manchester United players saw the extraordinary passion of the Middlesbrough generals celebrating, and they could understand how special it was to be treated as a strong player after being scored.

Cui Zhen walked back halfway and came to Lingard's side.

Lingard is a very stable player so far in this game. His pass success rate, according to Cui Zhen's visual inspection, should be 100%, and he has not made a pass error. Cui Zhen's pass success rate should be less than 70%. Because none of his threatening ball delivery was scored.

Cui Zhen said to Lingard: "Brother, attack up, there is no point in staying behind."

If you were playing against most other teams, maybe Lingard would have a defensive effect in the back midfielder, but in today's game, it is obvious that Middlesbrough is playing a cross from the wing and does not penetrate into the defensive area of ​​​​the midfielder at all. , Lingard can't be said to be useless in defense, but his defense zone has not suffered any impact. Even if he returns to the penalty area, his height and high-altitude ball defense ability are almost of no obvious help to the defense.

Now the team needs an unexpected offensive point to break Middlesbrough's planned defense. Looking at Manchester United's offensive and defensive lineup, this point must be Lingard. step forward.

Lingard originally felt very good, and his performance was extremely stable.

But Cui Zhen's words awakened the dreamer, and he thought about it carefully: the two midfielders in Middlesbrough's midfielder did not step forward to participate in the attack at all. The threat of Tang Ning cutting in the middle is relatively small, and if Leadbeater cuts in , will encounter Pogba, so most of them play crosses, and crosses test the defender's air defense ability. The midfielder has no time to retreat into the penalty area and form a defense against high-altitude balls.

Lingard nodded to Cui Zhen and said, "I understand, I will take the initiative to step forward and participate in the attack depending on the situation."

Cui Zhen patted him on the shoulder, turned around and faced Middlesbrough's half. During the most difficult lineup period, at least the mentality of the strong, they still cannot be shaken.

The atmosphere in the stands of the Riverside Stadium is in a state of joy.

Middlesbrough fans couldn't see how sharp Manchester United's offense was today. They took it for granted that Manchester United had the FIFA virus.

But in fact, it was only because of various factors that Manchester United lost the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles last season.

The away game tends to be conservative, the four-man team in the attack group, Matic and Fellaini are not Herrera and Mata, and the team chemistry is naturally not as efficient as before.

When the first half came to the 37th minute, Lingard instigated a forward offensive.

He dribbled forward all the way in the middle, Howson and Clayton had been vigilant for Lingard to pass the ball to Cui Zhen, while Cui Zhen slowly pulled to the left to create space for Lingard to move forward.

Howson and Clayton looked dignified. Seeing Lingard dribbled closer and closer, and there was no sign of passing the ball, they felt that something was wrong!

They paid too much attention to staring at Cui Zhen. If Lingard didn't pass the ball to Cui Zhen, they were a little unexpected.

When Lingard dribbled to the front of the penalty area, Clayton had to run to press down. As soon as he moved, Cui Zhen also accelerated from the left to the center. At this time, Lingard made a sudden pass, and Cui Zhen was in the middle The moment he got the ball in the middle, he inserted diagonally into the middle. After a successful response, he waded through Howson's defense line and faced the back line of the penalty area!
Clayton immediately shrunk the penalty area, defender Ayala stepped forward to intercept Cui Zhen, Clayton and Gibson focused on blocking Lukaku's running position to respond, and Christie prevented Fellaini from cutting inside.Fabio is staring at Matic, who is looking for an open space on the outside and preparing to cut inside.

Middlesbrough's defense is calm and organized. This kind of defense seemed to be seamless before.

At best, it was giving Cui Zhen a not-so-good long-range shot.

But this time.They took all the defensive measures, but ignored one point!

Lingard!
Cui Zhen lightly crossed the ball to the right when defender Ayala stepped forward to press.Lingard slammed the ball directly into the penalty area. Seeing that the situation was not good, Clayton had to move to press Lingard, but when he moved, the blockade formed between him and Gibson suddenly collapsed!
Lukaku, liberated!
Lingard calmly crossed the direction behind Clayton's movement, and Lukaku crossed there obliquely to meet the ball and easily pushed the bottom left corner of the goal to succeed!
Lukaku pointed to Lingard after scoring a goal, and then called other teammates to celebrate the goal. They gathered together next to the goal, showing the unity of Manchester United in difficult times!

"Manchester United equalized the score! Wonderful attacking cooperation. Classic demonstration of ground passing and cutting, Middlesbrough's defense made a major mistake! How can Lukaku play in the penalty area? When Lukaku has space to run He is unstoppable when he goes diagonally, no one can stop Lukaku!"

Middlesbrough seemed a little dazed after conceding the ball, feeling that the defense was suddenly messed up, and Manchester United became different from before!
In fact, it is a very simple attack and defense change.

曼联从4人VS6人的进攻和6人VS4人的防守变成了5人进攻，5人防守。

Although it was only the offensive and defensive changes of adding one more person and weakening one person, the changes derived on the football field were more abundant, and the effect of affecting the whole body had a major impact on the situation!

Cui Zhen and Lingard gave a high five after the celebration. The two looked at each other and smiled, and ran to the backcourt together.

Although Manchester United is in a difficult period that is worse, it does not mean that even Middlesbrough can play wild in front of them!
