Chapter 49 The Showdown of Master Tacticians

When Lu Feng frequently used cheats, Manchester City's lineup really couldn't stop him.

他在出场的60分钟时间里打进3球，送进1次助攻，却也只能帮助利物浦以6-4取得一场小胜。

The two forwards of Dzeko and Jovetic scored twice respectively, bombing Lovren and Coates, who were partnering with central defenders for the first time, to doubt their lives. A game that should have been turbulent has become extremely thrilling...

In the third round of the group stage, Inter Milan defeated Roma 2-0. The newly transferred Nemanja Vidic and the field captain Tomosuke all made contributions.

Vidic's old club Manchester United relied on Ashley Young's brace and "Little Pea" Hernandez's substitute contribution to beat Real Madrid 3-1, and advanced to the final as No.1 in Group A-then Hernandez announced his move to Real Madrid on loan.

The game attracted 109318 spectators, breaking the record for the number of American football spectators in one fell swoop, and fully demonstrated the worldwide appeal of Manchester United and Real Madrid.

In Group B, the severely injured Manchester City shook hands with Olympiacos 2-2, while Liverpool and AC Milan, the old enemies, met on a narrow road.

Probably just bought Balotelli from Milan, former Liverpool golden boy Torres has been loaned to Milan from Chelsea, Liverpool did not send the strongest lineup, Joe Allen, Lambert, Ibe, Robinson, Toure and other old The weak, sick and disabled all appeared on the starting list, and even Coates, who was full of flaws in the last game, continued to play, which gave Milan a lot of face.

But with such a set of substitute lineup, they beat Milan 2-0 easily and happily!

Lu Feng couldn't help sighing as he looked at Torres, Niang, Shalawi, Essien, Muntari, Abate, De Sciglio, and Abbiati in a state of distress.

These players are not unknown people, at least to a certain extent, they overwhelmed Joe Allen, Coates, and Lambert, right?
Why did you play like this?
-
AC Milan's problem is not just about players, coaches or tactics. It involves the long-term accumulated ills of the entire management team, and there is definitely no way to solve it in the short term.

As a Liverpool fan for 15 years, Lu Feng actually likes AC Milan, his old rival, but he can only express regret for Milan's current predicament.

美国时间8月4日晚8点，中国时间8月5日早8点，这一届国际冠军杯终于迎来了尾声。

Manchester United, top of Group A, will face Liverpool, top of Group B.

As the two most prestigious and honored teams in England, Manchester United and Liverpool also have unparalleled influence in the United States, not to mention that the owners of the two clubs are American businessmen.

But what is puzzling is that for some unknown reason, the venue for the finals was actually arranged in Sun Life Stadium in Miami, which can only accommodate 68000 spectators.

With the mist all over the sky, players from both sides played one after another.

Since it is a duel between Liverpool and Manchester United, even if it is a commercial match, the coaches and players of both sides will never relax, not to mention that one side is the famous Dutch coach Van Gaal who has just taken office and is in urgent need of standing up, and the other side is the best coach who is proud of himself. League champions, no one will back down easily.

Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Defenders: Johnson, Sacco, Skrtel, Robinson.

Midfield: Gerrard, Henderson, Joe Allen.

Forwards: Sterling, Lambert, Coutinho.

Compared with Rogers at 433, Van Gaal's shot is surprising. He directly abandoned the four-back style of play and put on a very aggressive 343!

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Phil Jones, Evans, Smalling.

Midfielders: Mata, Herrera, Fletcher, Valencia.

Forwards: Rooney, Falcao, Di Maria.

On the bench of Manchester United, there are still strong players such as Hernandez, Shinji Kagawa, Lingard, Nani, Cleverly, Zaha, etc. Compared with Liverpool, their lineup is actually more powerful. depth.

For such a top-level strong dialogue, the 18-year-old Lu Feng was excluded from the starting lineup without any surprise. Aid Emre Can and others cheered for the starting teammates.

England's Double Reds are never dull, even in friendlies.

The game would have been more favorable for Liverpool:

Except for Lambert, the other ten players were the main players who won the league championship last season. The tacit understanding between each other has reached its peak, and the overall morale of the team has also completely exploded for Manchester United.

As if even God favored Rodgers' team, the game only played for 8 minutes, and Manchester United's right-wing winger Valencia went off due to injury. He was replaced by a new aid, Luke Shaw.

Just 3 minutes later, Manchester United's defense was hit again. Sterling broke into the penalty area along the left. Phil Jones, nicknamed "The Parachutist", shoveled out the baseline with a fierce flying kick. The referee immediately made a decision. Yellow card + penalty penalty.

Captain Gerrard stood in front of 12 yards and blasted away the goal guarded by De Gea with a powerful volley, 1-0!

Liverpool originally wanted to take advantage of the victory, but without Suarez, they couldn't seem to find a shot. Among the three defenders.

During the intermission, Van Gaal directly replaced two players. Hernandez and Cleverley replaced Falcao and Fletcher at the same time.

His substitutions worked wonders immediately.

Only 10 minutes into the second half, Hernandez assisted Rooney to equalize the score!

Only 90 seconds later, before Liverpool had time to make adjustments, Mata used an unsolvable world wave to overtake the score!

Rogers couldn't sit still immediately, he replaced Joe Allen, Lambert, and Gerrard in one go, the first two are understandable, but replacing the captain and spiritual leader of the team is really unpredictable through.

Gerrard didn't expect that he would be replaced at all. He even kicked a bottle of mineral water on the sidelines in protest to express his unwillingness, but other than that, he still finished with the coach. The ceremony of shaking hands did not continue to vent their emotions.

What is even more puzzling is that the three substitutes are Lucas, Can, and Iby, two defensive midfielders, and a winger.

After another 10 minutes, Rogers, who was still unable to equalize the score, made another substitution adjustment (the number of substitutions was not limited in the warm-up match), and he replaced Sacco with central defender Kolo Touré.

Even the CCTV commentator Shao Shengyi, who was thousands of miles away, was a little confused:

"What Liverpool need now is to strengthen the offense, but why is Rodgers still thinking about the defense in the backcourt?"

Lu Feng could only shake his head. How could ordinary people guess Luo Tiancai's thoughts?
Just as he shook his head halfway, he was slapped on the shoulder by assistant coach Davis:
"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and warm up!"
