Chapter 470 Limited Support

Chapter 50 limited support

Pellegrini had a smile on his face, and his celebration was much more restrained than the assistants on the coach's bench who celebrated wildly behind him-he just stuck his right hand out of his pocket and clenched his fist.

His hard work these days has not been in vain, he has almost thoroughly studied the Manchester United team in front of him.

Manchester United's staffing in the first nine league games has rarely changed, unless there are injuries.With enough research models, Manchester United's tactics are actually in front of everyone.

There are so many coaches in the football world, there is always someone who can find some way to deal with Manchester United.

In terms of tactics, Pellegrini did not consider Manchester United's offensive capabilities at all. He was more based on the lineup that Manchester City itself has.

Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, plus Aguero in the frontcourt.Such a set of attack combinations is undoubtedly very distinctive-they are quite flexible!
Manchester United conceded so few goals in the first nine rounds, which has a lot to do with Manchester United's three midfielders.But there was also a game that Manchester United almost lost-that was the game where Arsenal [-]-[-] Manchester United.

That game inspired Pellegrini.Sanchez, Ozil, Walcott, Sanchez's dribbling breakthrough ability, Ozil's ghostly and flexible passing, and Walcott's speed gave Arsenal an early two-goal lead.

Compared with the other four major leagues, the pace of the Premier League game is much more intense in terms of physical confrontation, and the pace of the game is also much faster.

In the Premier League, Stoke City used to be known as the "City of the Sky", but in recent years, Stoke City's height has dropped a lot, but Manchester United is now more and more like a "Sky United".

From central defenders Hummels and Rojo, defensive midfielders Fellaini and Kramer, forward Li Qingshan, and goalkeeper De Gea, all of them are above 190 centimeters in height.

If you add Smalling, Jones, Fusumensa, Rashford and others on the bench, Manchester United can even send out a starting lineup with all 1.9 meters or more.

He is tall and strong. In terms of physical confrontation, Manchester United naturally has a lot of advantages, so Manchester United's defense is very tough. It is difficult for ordinary Premier League teams to penetrate Fellaini and Kramer. With the same defensive midfielder lineup, paired with Herrera, who was born in the Basque Country and is full of bulldog spirit, Manchester United can often take advantage of the confrontation.

But there are also disadvantages of being tall, that is, relatively speaking, the agility and frequency of feet of tall players are not so fast.Especially in defense, using a small and flexible forward to play against the opponent's tall central defender's defense line can often occupy the word "fast"!

And Pellegrini's confidence comes from his offensive players, whether it is Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne, or even Sterling, they are flexible in the frontcourt and pass the ball quickly , can definitely bring more pressure to Manchester United's defense than Arsenal.

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Pellegrini decided to let go of playing offensive football at Old Trafford, actively attacking and actively oppressing.

Defense is impossible, especially when Li Qingshan is in such good condition.But offensively, Manchester City has a good chance.

Although it is a bit risky to attack in the away game, Manchester United's offensive strength is also very strong, but Pellegrini can no longer care so much.What he hopes most now is that the team can continue to score a goal before Manchester United can react!
..........
Mata was still receiving treatment on the field, and Manchester United players gathered around to care about Mata's situation.

The team doctor has a stern expression. He still doesn't know the specific injury of Mata. I hope there will be no serious problems.

Field captain Valencia is arguing with referee Clattenburg.It is not yet known whether Fernandinho shoveled the ball or shoveled someone, but it is not too much to call a foul for such a big move by the opponent.Just look at Mata's injuries.

Rooney is already warming up. In such a critical game, Ancelotti decided to trust Manchester United captain Rooney.

"Rooney is warming up!"

Andy Gray raised his voice and said.

Speaking of which, Rooney can be regarded as the current number one star in England and the captain of the England team.

The captain of the England team was unable to play at Manchester United, and this matter also made the English a little upset.It's just that Ancelotti's nine-game winning streak has blocked the media's mouths.

"It seems that Mata's injury is not optimistic. Manchester United just conceded a goal, and now they are forced to use up a substitution in advance. This game is really unlucky for Ancelotti."

Eventually a stretcher came in, but Mata refused to go on the stretcher. He felt that his injury was not that serious, and he wanted to take a few steps to feel it.

But regardless of whether the injury is mild or severe, Mata will not be able to play this game.

He stepped off the other sideline and limped to the locker room with the help of the team doctor.

The fans at Old Trafford applauded Mata, and the applause was also given to Rooney who was about to replace him.

After Rooney saw Mata coming off the other side, he couldn't wait to rush into the field.

For Rooney, it is impossible not to be aggrieved this season. Anyone who loses the main position will feel aggrieved, let alone Rooney.

However, after all, Rooney did not use his influence in Manchester United to force Ancelotti into the palace. Both the senior management of Manchester United and the fans are very satisfied with Rooney.He did it very professionally.

In order to regain the main position, Rooney has had a hard time these days. He has reduced the frequency of his drinking, and he basically doesn't appear in nightclubs with his pig and dog friends. Even the World Boxing Championship held in Manchester For the first time in the boxing match of the Challenger League, Rooney did not go to watch it.

These days, the training ground is where Rooney spends the most time.

As a top player, Rooney also has his own self-esteem.He wants to use his own strength to regain his main position.

Rooney, who became famous at a young age, is only 30 years old now. Under modern medical conditions and a scientific training system, a 30-year-old player is still at his peak.As long as Rooney can be more self-disciplined and take good care of his body, he still has a few years to play good football.

Rooney naturally came up with Ancelotti's instructions.Wayne Rooney, speaking with a thick Liverpool accent, conveyed Ancelotti's latest adjustments.

"Slow down the offensive rhythm and stabilize the defense?!"

Li Qingshan was a little puzzled. As a center forward, he certainly wouldn't like to hear "we need to defend first".

But for Ancelotti, the first thing he has to consider is the trend of the whole game.Now Manchester City has taken the lead, and what is different from other teams is that Manchester City's frontcourt attackers, whether in terms of personal ability or mutual understanding, are actually against Manchester United's tall central defenders and midfielders to a certain extent. The defensive system formed restraint.He must first consider the matter of offense when he is on a solid defense. After all, the game time has just passed a few minutes. If he does not care about it and attacks, if he is beaten again by Manchester City, he wants to win this game. But it is difficult - after all, the difficulty of two-goal reversal is too great, not every team is Arsenal, and not every game, Li Qingshan can break out a hat-trick.

If Li Qingshan came to things like hat-tricks whenever he wanted, then he would not be a human being, but a god......
After Rooney communicated the head coach's adjustments to his teammates, he saw that Li Qingshan was still a little puzzled, so he came up and explained to him.

Rooney's Liverpool accent made it difficult for Li Qingshan to listen, but anyway, Li Qingshan could barely understand it.

Li Qingshan felt that now that the team is behind, shouldn't they take the initiative to attack and bring the score back, so that the pressure on the team will be reduced.

Rooney smiled and said, "Li, you know that for a shooter, the chance to score a goal doesn't just fall from the sky, but find it yourself!"

"We have to recover. If Manchester City continues to attack, they will not be able to maintain so many people in the backcourt. So, in fact, for you, the chances may not be reduced."

Rooney awakened Li Qingshan with one word.

This may be the experience of the game. Rooney has become famous in the Premier League since he was a child. He has more than ten years of experience in competitions. Compared with himself, these veterans still have a lot to learn.

"Thank you, Wayne." Li Qingshan sincerely thanked the captain of Manchester United for his advice.

Rooney held out his arm and Valencia came over to help him put the captain's armband on.

Although he lost his main position this season, as long as he plays, he is the undisputed captain of Manchester United.

He adjusted his armbands for the last time, and then patted Li Qingshan on the shoulder: "I really like you, Li. Your talent is better than me and Ronaldo. It won't be long before you will be the top player in the entire European team." shooter."

The Ronaldo in Rooney's mouth is naturally Cristiano Ronaldo who is currently playing for Real Madrid, and when this Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United, he also had a nickname called Ronaldinho, not Ronaldo today.

The twin stars composed of Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo, under the leadership of Ferguson, opened another history of the Red Devils dominating the Premier League. At the same time, Manchester United is still scoring goals. In the 2007-2008 season, Manchester United defeated Chelsea, once again reached the top of Europe.

The subsequent story is familiar to everyone. Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or and came to the Bernabeu shortly thereafter, while Rooney chose to stay at Manchester United until now.

Although Rooney has now begun to decline, he is destined to write a stroke in Manchester United's history.

The current Rooney is the second scorer in Manchester United history, and he is 249 goals away from Sir Bobby Charlton's first scorer in team history who scored 19 goals!
In fact, according to the number of Rooney's goals in each season in the past, nineteen goals can be completed in one season. Even Rooney, who is now on the decline, in his next career, as long as he stays at Manchester United, he can surpass Bobby. It is only a matter of time before Sir Charlton becomes the top scorer in Manchester United history.

For Captain Rooney, who is likely to break the record of more than 40 years and become the No.1 scorer in team history, Li Qingshan still maintains his respect.And hearing Rooney relying on him so highly, Li Qingshan felt a little proud.

"Go, Lee! Go look for a chance to score. If you need it, I will help you." After speaking, Rooney turned and ran away.

Li Qingshan glanced at the back of Red Devil Ten, and ran to his place.

Ancelotti placed Rooney in place to replace Mata, so Manchester United's formation has not changed.

Manchester City took the lead at home, although it made the Manchester United players a little depressed.But the self-confidence brought about by continuous victories has convinced Manchester United's players that they will come back sooner or later.

Ancelotti asked the team to shrink the defense first and not give too much space to Manchester City's frontcourt attackers. In this way, Li Qingshan received less support.

Finding chances to score goals without support is quite difficult, which not only tests the player's almost, but also tests a shooter's inspiration in the nick of time.

When you have a lot of support, you have a lot of opportunities to test...or waste.Moreover, the forwards have many opportunities, which means that the team's offensive is very fierce. Under continuous pressure, the opponent's defense will inevitably lose sight of one thing and lose another. In this way, loopholes will easily appear.

...........
After the goal, Manchester City did not shrink their defense.

In this game, Pellegrini was determined to play offense...at least in the first half.

Since the start was so smooth, why not follow the law and try to score more goals.

The morale of the leading Manchester City players is high, and their cooperation in the frontcourt is also very flexible. They are constantly passing the ball back and forth to move the direction of Manchester United.
The fans in the stands at Old Trafford were worried. This season, at Manchester United's home court, it is rare to see Manchester United being so passive.

The score has not yet been equalized, and the fans are very worried that Manchester United will allow Manchester City to score another goal.

Fortunately, with Manchester United shrinking its defense, Manchester City actually does not have much room to attack.

Although Manchester City can pass smoothly on the wing and outside the penalty area, it is not easy for Manchester City to take a long shot when there are many people in the penalty area.And Manchester City will not have a good chance to pass the ball to face Manchester United's tall players.

"Manchester United didn't start well, but Ancelotti made some adjustments while taking advantage of the substitutions. Obviously, Ancelotti wanted to slow down the pace on the field first. Sandro and Valencia didn't give too many assists going forward either."

In fact, when Manchester United lost the ball, the very important reason was that the full-backs pressed too high, allowing Manchester City to gain free movement space in the ribs of the penalty area, and then lost the ball because of this.

Now that the two full-backs are back, Manchester City will naturally have a lot less space.

But in this way, the support Li Qingshan received in the frontcourt was very limited.
