football redemption

Chapter 155

The drizzling rain more or less affected the players' vision, and no one could see what happened, and then the football flew out.

Instead of flying towards the goal, it flew out of the penalty area.It seems that Manchester United's clearance was successful.But the attack is not over yet!
Xia Qi has never rushed in. Tonight, he has positioned himself as a B2B midfielder. It is not that he cannot go inside the restricted area, but outside the restricted area is his position.

However, things in the world are like this, and instead of fighting or grabbing, he waited outside for a chance to shoot.

When the football flew outside the penalty area, he rushed up to meet the football, and then swung his right foot.

"Boom!"

The instep of the right foot slammed under the football, causing a splash.

At that moment, the football frantically threw water drops, spinning rapidly towards the goal.

The rain curtain covered Batistuta's eyes. He felt good about himself. He saved the galaxy. Who could defuse Batistuta's violent shot like him?

This is equivalent to saving Messi and Ronaldo's shots ten years later!

Just now, it was ashamed that it was not given the Golden Glove Award for its performance like a rabbit.

He was stunned, but before the heat in his heart dissipated, he saw a white football appearing in his field of vision from small to large.

Lying grass! (Fack!)
This white football is like rain from the sky, extinguishing the fire in his heart, he reflexively made a save, but it was too late!
The soccer ball passed over his head with a whoosh, and he raised his hands, not as if he was trying to save, but more like surrendering!

The ball is in!
Barthez's mood went from the equator to the North Pole, and it was difficult to control such a big gap. He shouted at his teammates angrily: "Rush to clear!"

As a goalkeeper, he saves the first point of the football, and the second point is of course the defender and the midfielder.

But this ball was directly assisted by you for Xia Qi, we are also very helpless!

Stam opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words.

Ferguson's expression on the sidelines remained unchanged, and he continued to chew gum. The ball was Florence's dribble, and Haiba Tezi gave the racket to Shaki. The goddess of luck also depends on her appearance.

Ferguson is not in a hurry, luck can't go far on the football field, and he has confidence in his players.

Italian commentator Justin shouted excitedly: "Fiorentina took the lead in the first 9 and [-] minutes, and the goal was Xia... Xia... Xia Qi Gaoli!"

"This is the first time he participated in the Champions League knockout game and scored a goal. How much does the goddess of luck favor him?"

Old Gaoli, who was watching the live broadcast in Florence, was not happy: "You don't know how much hard work my eldest grandson has put in for this. His kick just now was not fooled..."

After the goal, Shaqi was very excited. He rushed to the stands where the fans of the away team gathered, and slapped the team emblem on his chest hard.

The Fiorentina fans in the stands responded to him with a uniform shout: "Milan, Milan, Milan!"

Don't get me wrong, the fans are not cheering for AC Milan but the 2000-2001 UEFA Champions League final is Milan's San Siro Stadium.

What they shouted was Batistuta's promise to the fans in the last game that the team will start double-headed and advance to the championship this season.

"It was only 9, [-] minutes into the game and Manchester United were one goal behind, which is not a good sign for them.

Past records show that Fiorentina is very good at playing the ball after taking the lead. Their technical and tactical characteristics determine that once they are in the lead and the opponent presses up heavily to counterattack, they can easily tear apart the opponent's defense with a quick attack. "

The England commentator began to worry about the fate of Manchester United.

But his concerns were lambasted by many United fans: "Shet and shit."

No one would think that the defending champion Manchester United will lose this game. They think that Tiger just took a nap, don't make a fuss, and the situation will soon return to normal.

Ferguson and Manchester United players have the same thoughts as most fans. In their hearts, the Italian team can really play AC Milan. The others are petty thieves. Juventus will be a little bit more advanced and a small boss, and Fiorentina is just a minion in their hearts, and it will not cause harm to Manchester United at all.

"Beep!"

After the game continued, Shaqi received a more severe defense. In addition to these normal defenses, there were many small moves.

Sometimes Xia Qi would be slapped on the back of the head by the opponent while running, sometimes he would break forward and get pushed on his buttocks, sometimes...

If it were someone else, he would have covered his head or feet, fell to the ground and turned over and over in pain. If the referee didn't stop the game, or the opponent didn't kick the football out of the sideline, he wouldn't get up.

Of course, if the possession of the ball falls to their own team, then the audience will be lucky enough to see the injured player who was lying on the ground, writhing in pain or dying just now, jump up from the ground and run forward with his hands up.

But Xia Qi is not a graduate of La Masia Film and Television Academy.

As long as your foul can't knock Xia Qi to the ground, then Sha Qi will run forward even if he staggers.

Xia Qi didn't care about the opponent's small moves at all, he cherished every minute and every second of hard work.

There is no good way to defend Xia Qi, Sha Qi has no obvious shortcomings in technology and body,

Keane and Shaggy faced each other, they had physical advantages but not as good as Shaggy in technique, Beckham and Scholes had skills but not as strong as Shaggy in body, in short, Manchester United's midfielder could not defend against Shaggy alone.

In fact, Manchester United's midfielders were not good at defending during this period. Like Fiorentina, they were both good at attacking teams.

Giggs' wing breakthrough, Beckham's full moon scimitar, and the black wind and double evil that frightened the defender. Manchester United in this period never worried about scoring goals.

Without Ferguson yelling, Manchester United naturally strengthened their offense.

Beckham and Giggs are the two wings of Manchester United's frontcourt. Both of them can pass and shoot, but it is not them who are in charge of controlling the rhythm, but the famous ginger head Paul Scholes
The Gingerhead is an underrated midfield metronome.

No. In the 205th minute, he sent the football to Giggs with a precise long pass. After receiving the ball, the Welsh star adjusted and got a chance to shoot.

Fortunately, Toldo concentrated and hugged the shot firmly.

Although there was no goal, Scholes' wonderful performance still won the cheers of the England commentator.

"Paul is definitely an underrated midfielder. His organization and combing allowed Manchester United to start to take advantage of the field."

Scholes himself was also very satisfied with the pass, which filled him with confidence.

But he didn't have time to be happy for long, and the England commentator soon changed to praise Shaggy.Because Shaggy also showed his ability to pass the long ball once.

Unlike Scholes who passed the ball unmarked, Shaqi was also interfered by Keane's close-up before passing the ball. He passed the football long when he couldn't maintain his body balance.

Moreover, unlike Scholes, when Scholes passed, Giggs ran forward in a straight line.

Although Scholes stood still after passing the ball, looking very chic, while Shakey sat down on the lawn after passing the ball, very embarrassed, but the effects of the two are completely different.

Scholes' long pass just allowed Giggs to catch the ball. Shaggy's long pass not only allowed Baggio to catch the ball, but was also very comfortable.

The two stand tall!

Shaqi against the Scholes army!
Incomparable to Zidane and Deco, is it not as good as a rich second generation?

Scholes secretly held his breath!

"Roberto! Roberto broke through, oops! Roberto fell down, what a pity."

"Is it Roberto's injured leg? The rain is indeed too unkind to him."

Facing the big gift from Shaqi, Baggio didn't catch it because the field was too slippery. He originally wanted to dribble the ball past the goalkeeper Bathezi, but his injured leg couldn't catch the grass, so he slipped and fell directly to the ground. The football also let the attacking Bathezi easily get it.

Baggio, who was sitting on the ground, patted his injured leg uncomfortably: "Old man, don't lose the chain! After playing the European Cup and the World Cup, we will retire together, just two years, help me, old man, let's work hard together, okay?"

He had a chance to extend the lead to 2:0. If that was the case, the game would lose its suspense.

Baggio got up from the ground in frustration, surrounded by his teammates: "Do you need a team doctor?"

"No, no, no!" Baggio looked at the visiting team's bench and the bench, where a group of people stretched their necks and wanted to run into the field.

With a warm heart, Baggio first made a gesture to Ranieri that I am fine, please rest assured, then turned his head and gave a thumbs up to thank Shaqi for his long pass.

Patting Xia Qi on the back: "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, let Manchester United live a little longer."

Seeing that Baggio was fine, everyone in Florence smiled...

In the star-studded Manchester United, Scholes is often overlooked, and Shaqi, who came from the post-Ferguson era, certainly will not make this mistake.

He has been paying attention to Scholes, knowing that Scholes is Manchester United's long pass organizer, and many offenses must be carried forward by him.

But Scholes doesn't mean to just stay behind.In the past, he was just a ball handler and passer, but Ferguson asked for more in this game. He hoped that Scholes would press more forward and press the opponent tightly.

This is done because the closer he is to the penalty area, the more threatening he is as a playmaker.

At the same time, Shaqi's long pass also stimulated Scholes. Scholes, who didn't want to be compared with the rich second generation, began to press forward, which would make him hard to defend and have more possibilities.

But this is exactly what Xia Qi wants.If Scholes is just attacking with long balls from behind, he can't do much with Gingerhead.

But as long as he comes up, Xia Qi has many ways to deal with him.Although Shaqi needs to take Keane into account in defense, it is not difficult for Shaqi to take time to harass Scholes.

Scholes saw right away what Shaggy was capable of defensively.

When he got the ball, he hesitated for a while and didn't pass the ball right away. This hesitation made Xia Qi rush to him. He tried to pass the football again, but it was too late. In a hurry, the football passed directly to Xia Qi's feet.

Fiorentina, who had stolen the ball, launched a counterattack directly, and Manchester United hurriedly retreated.

Although the attack did not pose a threat in the end, from a defensive point of view, Shaqi's steal made Manchester United's attack fail. This was a successful defense.

Scholes was a little scared after being intercepted by Shaqi once, so he shrank back and didn't press forward again.

But in this case, he can only use long passes to organize the offense. The single method makes it easy for Florence to defend.

His character may be the reason why the media, fans and head coach think he is not as good as Harvey.

Thanks to Pirlo, Ronaldo Dinho and Shaqi's successful defense of Beckham, Scholes and Keane in the middle,
Manchester United shifted the focus of offense to the wing. Giggs and Cole are both players with superb speed and excellent dribbling. However, the weather is not beautiful today. On such a slippery field, even if they have excellent skills and speed, they can't show it.

On rainy days, the venue is slippery, and if you don’t pay attention, you will lose your center of gravity and fall to the ground, especially for speed players.

The center was restrained by Fiorentina, and the wing was unable to give full play due to the influence of the field. Manchester United's offense was in trouble for a while.They can't seem to find a better way to score goals.

Scholes' retreat seems to have stabilized the defense, but in fact it made the team's offense lack layers, and most of the time it was a "one-shot deal".

This kind of attack is okay, if it doesn't work, it will be pulled down.There will never be a second or third attack if one attack fails.

Of course, this crude offense couldn't break Fiorentina's goal.

Coach Ferguson certainly knew where the problem was, which is why he asked Scholes to press forward frequently.

Only in this way can Manchester United's offense have layers and threats.

Scholes' ability to read the game seems to be a little weaker. He didn't understand the difference between rainy days and normal times, and he didn't understand the intention of the head coach.

But Ferguson was so anxious that he stood on the sidelines and desperately called Scholes' name: "Paul! Paul!"

When Scholes looked at him, he waved his hand forward: "Press up! Press up! Press up when attacking!"
Scholes hesitated and did not execute it immediately.He made excuses for himself in his heart: I am here to better observe the opponent's movements, and I can't easily press down
And once I decide to push up, I have found their loopholes, and I must kill them with one blow!
Actually?
He did see the hole, but when he passed the ball long, the opponent saw through his intention and closed that hole.

Unless the long pass is a big loophole, the time for the football to fly is enough for the opponent to react, and the probability of a fatal blow is not high.

Of course, if you can see the unique loopholes like De Bruyne, it is always unexpected, which is a different matter.

But if Scholes doesn't come up, he can only rely on Giggs and Beckham.

Beckham is handsome, but he is not a vase, and his professionalism puts Brazilians and Real Madrid fans to shame.

When Manchester United fell into a trough, Bei Xiaoshuai stood up.
