ball at foot

"Sir, should we make some adjustments..."

"What's the matter, are you so anxious?"

As the whistle blew for the second half, Ferguson was also talking to assistant coach Queiroz on the sidelines.However, the demeanor of the two people looks completely different.Queiroz's forehead was constantly sweating, obviously extremely nervous, but Ferguson had no such problem at all.He chewed gum leisurely and watched the game as if he was not in a hurry.

This made Queiroz very puzzled. Where did the Ferguson who yelled loudly in the locker room just now?How on earth did he manage to be so calm in front of people and leave all his impatience behind?

"The situation of the game is very unfavorable. Zhao Yaning's performance is a bit unexpected." Queiroz said his opinion, "We should make some adjustments to ensure that we will not be completely crushed by Zhao Yaning who played well."

"Then, tell me, how do you plan to strengthen the defense, so as to ensure that he is completely watched to death and let him do what he does."

This remark made Queiroz right. He knew that it was impossible for him to come up with a way to completely incapacitate Zhao Yaning.

"It's impossible for us to completely defend a star player to death - in football, the offense is always stained. At their level, at any time a thought flashes in our mind, it is enough for us to come up with a lot of solutions. There is a way, and when it reaches the world-class level, it can't be stopped." Ferguson shook his head, "Let him go crazy, personal madness is the overall situation. Moreover, although he played well, the development of things , Isn’t it unexpected yet? Since the matter is still under our control, then, what are you in a hurry for?”

Queiroz said nothing more.Although he knew and understood many of Ferguson's thoughts, but as Ferguson said, things were not unexpected, but it was still difficult for him to be as calm and unconcerned as Ferguson was.

The media has been saying that he will be the successor of the Manchester United coach.And he is indeed doing a lot of work that a head coach should do: as people say, a large part of Manchester United's tactics are designed by him. After all, Ferguson is old, 67 years old. Maybe they are all delirious. Although the old man is in good health, his energy can't keep up, and his thinking sometimes seems outdated. Although he has the will to improve, he has no ability to improve. He can think of the team's progress. However, in terms of tactical details, he is not as energetic as the young man, and he can study day and night.He has to hand over many things to Queiroz.When it comes to a deep understanding of Manchester United, maybe he is even higher than Ferguson.

However, sometimes Queiroz felt that it was difficult for him to succeed Ferguson.But he doesn't have the vigor of Ferguson.He knew that according to Ferguson's calculations, the current situation was not beyond expectations.The opponent scored two goals in the first half. Although it was the same as Manchester United's worst scenario, it did not exceed the limit of Manchester United's patience.At times like this, you shouldn't be in a hurry.However, he couldn't convince himself to calm down: Zhao Yaning knew that the bigger the scene, the more abnormal he would be. Seeing that Zhao Yaning was about to break Manchester United's plan, Ferguson was still so calm, which made him feel unimaginable.

My own character is not as good as an old man.

After all, I am just a coach, and the person in front of me is the coordinator of Manchester United's overall development.

Queiroz remembered Ferguson's arrangement: From the beginning of the match against Real Madrid, Ferguson knew one thing very well: the biggest uncertainty in the match against Real Madrid is Zhao Yaning.When Zhao Yaning was on the court, it was difficult for him to be contained. His overly strong personal ability was the biggest uncertainty in the game.However, what football coaches do is to stifle uncertain factors to the greatest extent.Zhao Yaning is capable, so Ferguson must come up with a way to deal with him.

"Rely on tactics to make his performance effective, and outside of tactics, rely on other measures to completely defeat them." Ferguson also quickly came to a conclusion after considering this.

"In terms of players, we are not as good as them. A Zhao Yaning is enough to give them a headache. But in terms of tactics, we can make up for the shortcomings. Your ability is better than the Germans. And when it comes to the game at the coaching level-then , I can completely beat them." When Ferguson was talking to Queiroz at the time, he didn't feel arrogant at all, "Since I beat him, then I will let him know that the top coach, What should I do when I encounter this kind of game. The so-called player wins, and at the level of the coach, I just don’t lose.”

After that, Ferguson made arrangements: I am afraid that the opponent has not seen through his comprehensive arrangement yet.His strategic arrangement can be said to be the core idea of ​​defeating Real Madrid, whether it will work or not is still unknown.

"In terms of tactics, you don't need to think about too many things. Just find a way and let us control the rhythm." Regarding tactics, Ferguson also put forward his own requirements, "Two rounds, the first round is not ours The point, however, is to score goals as much as possible. At the beginning of the game, give me a wave of attack. Then, after the attack is over, slow down and let the opponent attack. Then, at the beginning of the second half, launch a wave of attack. Then, continue to slow down and let the opponent attack. Save all your physical strength until the end, and attack me at the last time of the game."

After thinking about Ferguson's arrangements, Queiroz understood his thoughts: Because of Ferguson's pre-match speech, at the beginning of the game, the opponents would definitely think that Manchester United was going to defend, so they would press out. Attacking at this time is to attack the enemy Unprepared, it can work.

In the first half, the reason not to really confront the opponent was to prevent the situation from losing control.Although the attack is nominal, but the rhythm is properly controlled, the energy is conserved, and the opponent is exhausted.

At the beginning of the second half, it happened to be the time when the opponent was most relaxed.After the weak attack in the last three to 10 minutes of the first half, the opponent must have thought that Manchester United was attacking hard and would further strengthen the offensive. At this time, it was time for Manchester United to regain face.

The second half was also for the purpose of conserving physical strength. At the last moment of the game, Manchester United's physical strength will definitely be better than that of the opponent. Attacking at this time will have the best effect.

In a two-round match, the first game is not the deciding factor.In this game, what Ferguson has to do is to keep the game from exceeding expectations too much.His arrangements are very detailed, and also with an extremely cunning way of thinking, it is not a tactical game, but more like an estimate of the opponent's mentality, and an arrangement made.

"Relying on the change of attack rhythm, we can control the trend of the whole game under our own control. As long as the game is not beyond our control, Zhao Yaning will play well. I am sure that he is just a stepping stone for us." [

Such confidence made Queiroz sigh.He once believed that Ferguson's tactical ability is not very strong, and he is not the best coach. Such a person can stand at the pinnacle of the club, which has a lot of luck.But now it seems... Xiongxiong has a way of being a Xiongxiong, he can ignore the best players in the world, this pride, he has to be convinced.

It's the same now, if Ferguson is not nervous, he will definitely not believe it.However, no matter how nervous he was, Ferguson could take it easy, and he had to admire this ability.

At this time, Manchester United is attacking.After the start of the second half, their sudden speed-up attack really caught Real Madrid by surprise.It's just a pity that Ronaldinho's shot did not break the opponent's player.Pepe blocks the shot and deflects the ball over the baseline, resulting in a corner.

This made Queiroz immediately nervous: a set-piece attack, but Manchester United is ahead of Real Madrid.After all, Manchester United is a Premier League team. The physical resistance and height of the players are compared to Real Madrid in La Liga. The opportunity of set-pieces is something that Manchester United must grasp.

Giggs' corner kick came out, and Real Madrid's penalty area was also in chaos.Manchester United has too many high points. This kind of header attack is simply to force the goal without giving any chance. Although Casillas has excellent ability, it is still difficult for Real Madrid to defend the ball.

Ramos and Pepe blocked the two strong points of Lucio and Ferdinand one after the other. However, as soon as Giggs' corner kick was taken, Roma also charged towards the penalty area. Real Madrid was in chaos for a while. Although Cannavaro was responsible for watching someone rush in suddenly, when the two jumped up at the same time, Ronaldinho was a full head taller than Cannavaro.

After all, Cannavaro is old, and it is not something he can do to compete with young people.The ball flew over, and Ronaldinho was in mid-air, not afraid of confronting Cannavaro, and completed a twisting and shaking of his head. This favorable shake of his head sent the ball directly towards the Real Madrid gate!

Casillas didn't let him succeed this time, he saw the ball flying over and immediately flew out.When the football flew over, Cassie also stretched out his hand and slapped the ball out of the goal!

"Casillas!"

Seeing Casillas' save, the audience cheered, but before the commentator's cheers were over, Ferdinand kicked the ball into the goal with a close shot!

"Ferdinand!!!!"

The extremely timely follow-up shot from this kick instantly made the Manchester United fans in the stadium cheer. 2-2 draw, the score was evened at the beginning of the second half. In this game, Manchester United is not hopeless.

In contrast, the faces of Real Madrid fans are ugly: the 2-2 result means that in the overall situation, Real Madrid has lost.The home court has been scored twice in a row. This kind of game is a big problem.

Cannavaro lowered his head: It is really unforgivable to be hit with a hammer on his head.

Really old.

"Okay, it's just a goal." Seeing Cassie, who was a little depressed, Zhao Yaning knew that it was impossible to expect him to motivate everyone now, and the two guys, Ramos and Guti, let them stand up, It's about to be changed to the Colosseum, "Don't worry, the victory will still be ours. If they enter one, we will enter two more!"

"That's right, what are you afraid of? You haven't lost the game yet. What does that look look like? Isn't this the Bernabéu? Are you still a Real Madrid player? A Real Madrid player, but you didn't look downcast and dare not say anything after being scored. Yes. They can score, but we can't? Let them know that it was a mistake to play against us!"

Seeing Zhao Yaning's opening, Guti remembered his identity as the captain: Raul is not on the field, he is the captain, but he always can't do his best for this identity.After all, he got used to being the second child's shelter from wind and rain, and sometimes he didn't do very well in his duties as the vice captain.

However, everyone knew his temper, and he really encouraged everyone by saying this.The game is not over yet, why are you so unhappy?

"Sure enough, it's as we expected." Queiroz laughed on the sidelines. "It doesn't look that difficult."

"That's the way it is. Let them be happy. No matter how happy they are, it won't change the fact that the final victory must be ours."
