Head

Chapter 182
Mike was injured, and Ferguson suddenly found that he had no one to rest assured in the midfielder position.Selling Fletcher at the beginning seems to be the biggest shortcoming at this time. Gibson is indeed older than Mike, but in terms of football experience, it is obviously not as good as Mike who participated in the World Cup. Of course, you have to admit that Gibson is in football. In terms of talent, he is worse than Mike, although he is also a genius. (It's a pity that Mike is the first supporting role)

Manchester United has a lot of defensive players, but it is still relatively difficult for a player to play a full-time midfielder.

Fortunately, there is Carrick, although his defense is worse, but in this case, Ferguson can match him.

Although Park Ji-sung started close to the right, but more role is to assist the defense, Gary Neville also started again.

In order to mitigate the impact of Carrick's retracement, Giggs started behind Rooney like a shadow striker, while Silva supported from the wing, while Valencia became a complete winger.

Similar to the 4231 position, but this is different from most 4231 styles of play. Ferguson actually gave up the transition in the midfield. If Carrick and Giggs cannot connect, then Manchester United will basically be in two.

For Rome, Totti, who has basically not played in the Champions League this season, actually started. In front of him is the partner of Toni and Vucinic. It can be seen that Ranieri wants to attack Manchester United.

There is no way, the big score is behind Roma, not Manchester United. Although Roma has an away goal, if they can't win, any result will be illusory, so their primary goal is to score.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, when the Manchester United players were still adapting to the sudden rainy weather in Italy, Roma had already completed the first wave of offense.

De Rossi stole the ball and gave it to Mene, who quickly attacked on the right. Mene chose to go straight to Vucinic before Carrick went to the defense.

Vucinic, who staggered Evra, made an emergency stop on the right side of the penalty area to let Evra who was chasing back again, then crossed the middle, and Totti, who followed, shot before Vidic tackled.

Niu Shisan's position was favorable, he held the football firmly in his arms, and only he knew the burning pain of the football rubbing against his chest.

However, Niu Shisan's subsequent kick-off seemed a bit blind. He was obviously not used to the situation where there was no one to respond near the center line.

Burdisso, who was on the top, stopped the ball and chose to go down the sidewalk.

However, his cross from the front of the penalty area was pushed out by Ferdinand, and De Rossi's long-range shot went straight into the stands, seemingly in response to the shouts of the fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

However, Manchester United did not get the opportunity to take the initiative, and several offenses made mistakes due to some habitual problems.

In contrast, Roma, despite the same adjustments, it is obvious that Mene and Totti get along well with each other. Cooperating with the front strikers, it looks like two pairs of interrelated strikers. Time to become the executor of the final blow.

"Pass the ball, bastard, move faster..." I can't remember the last time Ferguson shouted urgently on the sidelines. He used to be great at giving instructions to one or two people, but judging from his appearance today, It seems that the next moment is going to rush to the court.

In fact, anyone who plays football should understand that when Manchester United gives up the midfield connection, the pass must be fast, so as to take advantage of the number of people in the frontcourt, but it is obvious that Manchester United can not only attack quickly, but also be able to pass the ball. The chances of getting it right are few and far between.

"Ryan, go back a little..."

"Pu, shovel him, be tough..."

The latter sentence obviously angered the Roma fans, and a bunch of messy things came straight over.

"Manchester United is in a mess today! Ferguson is already in a hurry. This is not good news. You must know that defending the Champions League is already very difficult. Now if something happens to Ferguson, Manchester United's game will be difficult!"

"Yeah, Rome seems to be called a wolf's den, and Manchester United seems to have entered a wolf's den today. In such a situation, even the tigers can't bear it!"

"Wolf Den, yes, isn't Lazio called Blue Eagle! The two teams of Roma are really natural enemies!"

"..."

The fourth official came over and asked Ferguson to sit on the coaching bench. The "shovel him" just now clearly made the fourth official dissatisfied. If he was not Ferguson, the fourth official might have to ask the referee to give him a warning.

However, Ferguson turned his head and complained, "Look, their fans, I will file a complaint with UEFA in this situation. Such a stadium is too disappointing. This is the capital of Italy!"

The Manchester United players on the field seemed to feel Ferguson's anger, and their obvious movements became bigger. As an old injury, Totti obviously deliberately avoided when receiving the ball. There is no need to fight Manchester United at this time.

Manchester United finally ushered in an offensive opportunity. Niu Shisan made a seemingly blind attack and took the ball off Tony's head.

After taking two steps, he threw the ball to Carrick. As a central midfielder who tends to attack, Carrick's offensive awareness is still quite in place. After receiving the ball, he made a decisive long pass to the right.

Valencia's speed was reflected at this time, and his fast pursuit directly overtook Riise, making one have to wonder if Riise was old.

After taking the ball down, Valencia took advantage of the opportunity to dunk, out of the way of Riise's tackle, and then made a rare cross with his left foot.

In the middle, Rooney quickly dodged Mex, took a step forward, jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal, the movement was quite in place, but unfortunately he seemed to forget that the football is gliding towards the bottom line, and the ball was a bit flawed. The football went straight to the post and flew out of the baseline, and Sergio didn't make any saves at all.

Rooney turned around and walked back in frustration, but soon he got another chance. Sergio's goal kick was grabbed by Carrick, who went straight to Giggs, but Giggs made a gesture to catch the ball But suddenly gave way, the football bounced on the ground and flew directly in front of Juan.

This action is really deceiving, Rooney did not expect the football that suddenly appeared in front of him, but he did not rush to stop the ball, but chose to turn around quickly, the football slowly fell from his side, and waited until Rooney completely turned around Finally, the football has been rolling on the ground honestly.

The speed of the ball is not fast, which is too difficult for Sergio. Maybe Rooney's ball handling is really bad today. Facing Sergio single-handedly, the latter is still hesitating whether to attack or not.

In this case, Rooney thought that he could shoot unexpectedly, so he did so, but how could he have a chance to shoot before, and he hit the post strangely at this time.

Rooney dared to say that he never thought about pursuing angles, it was completely a mentality of kicking a penalty kick, and it was a penalty kick in the situation where the goalkeeper was shaken.

There is no medicine for regret in football. Rooney's choice was correct. Sergio was indeed unable to make a save at that time, but luck is gone.

This time, Mex unloaded the ball from the chest and made a barb clearance without turning around.

Roma attack.

Both sides had no achievements in the first half. Although the Roma team had an offensive advantage, Niu Shisan was not a vegetarian.

After the start of the second half, the Roma team continued to strengthen their offense. Pizarro and De Rossi also frequently participated in the offense. Carrick and Park Ji-sung seemed quite embarrassed. After a short time, the two were completely reduced to defensive players. Ferguson thought Carrick's attack has become a bubble at this time, so that Giggs is about to become a defensive midfielder.

Manchester United's 4231 showed signs of turning to 703 in the second half.

In fact, Roma's offense is not fierce, but Manchester United's players feel that every time may be fatal, and they dare not relax at all.

Under such circumstances, Ferguson had no choice. Giggs must not focus on the backcourt. After a quarter of an hour in the second half, Manchester United took the lead in making adjustments. Silva was replaced by Gibson to free Carrick.

This is a very risky choice. It is too dangerous for Gibson to face the back and forth attacks of Totti and De Rossi, but Manchester United cannot but attack. It is like a vegetable waiting to die, without autonomy.

Although Carrick moved forward, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ferguson just wanted to move the defensive pressure forward.And under such circumstances, who can guarantee that Manchester United will not steal a hand.

The stalemate was broken in the No.70 minute. Gibson obviously lacked confidence and his movements were a little stiff after he came on the field. This may be a kind of thinking error of Ferguson. If Gibson was deployed at the beginning of the game, he would be most nervous at that time and would never appear. The situation of not being confident, but now, taking orders in danger seems to be more important, but Gibson is not only nervous, but also more fearful, an unexplainable fear, worrying that his mistakes will become a fatal threat, so His moves are big, and almost every time he can be called a foul.

A free kick five meters in front of the penalty area, De Rossi and Pizarro stood in front of the ball.

"Go a little to the left, in the same position, OK." Niu Shisan lined up in the crowd nervously. In fact, he didn't need to be so nervous, but his physical exertion was a bit heavy today. Out of a responsible attitude, he I think it should be more secure.

however……

"Wow..."

De Rossi actually shot, Niu Shisan was stunned for a moment, and then flew straight out.

The goalkeeper's height and long arms are really an advantage. It seems that this kind of sneak attack is rarely saved by the goalkeeper. Although it is not a dead angle and the speed is not fast, the time difference is a big problem. It is impossible for people to fly Go football!

Niu Shisan proved that this kind of ball can be saved, but all he can do is save the football.

The Manchester United players didn't care too much about Niu Shisan's save. They had already rushed to the referee, obviously wanting to ask for an explanation, but the Roma players didn't care about it. They had been paying attention to the football trend. After the ball was saved, Totti rushed towards the ball, and when Ferdinand realized something was wrong, it was too late to chase it back.

Totti did not choose to shoot, but picked the ball, and the football went directly to the back point.

Even though Niu Shisan stood up and jumped up, he finally felt what it means to be powerless.

The Olympic Center in Rome erupted like a tsunami. If the game ends at this time, Rome will be eligible for promotion.

Ferguson was not happy anymore, and rushed directly past the fourth official into the field. I don't know when he rushed into the field last time, but it was obvious that the old man's temper had come up, and today's passion seemed to have returned to a few years ago.

Needless to say, the goal was valid, and Sir Alex was expelled to the stands.

Without Ferguson, Manchester United was out of control in the wolf den. Giggs retreated to the midfield and was still alone. Rooney had no chance to attack in the frontcourt.

At this time, the white away jerseys on the Manchester United players looked very pale, which made people suspect that they were mourning clothes.

Champions League defending is like a joke, three of last year's four champions have come to naught.

How long can the rest of the league last?

Perhaps Ferguson regretted not spending the money in his hands at this time. At that time, he should have desperately bought a group of players and piled them on the bench...

Chelsea's successful experience may be considered...

Of course, these are things that Ferguson should consider. I don’t know if it’s ironic that the players managed to keep the ball in the midst of the blind and helpless transition of offense and defense...

Controversy?No, Manchester United used this method to take advantage of others before, but now it is just following a very quack saying-sooner or later they will have to pay back when they come out to mess around!

Who is to blame?No one is to blame, it's just that I'm too greedy!Manchester United is actually pretty good. There is no absolute win or loss on the football field. The loss of a key game does not mean that they are not good enough, but they want the result but ignore the process!
The way to go depends on your own feet, not just your own head!
If you can think about anything, then the world doesn't have to turn around...

Is Ferguson getting old?Maybe, but he's not too old for a coaching position, and he can run games.

Did he take it for granted?No, he thought well, it's just that Manchester United's players are not used to this method. In the final analysis, they were not prepared before.

"I watched the game. The players performed very well. Don't worry too much about the outcome. Just enjoy the game. Just like this game, do you think the fans think we can't do it? No, maybe tomorrow. There are a lot of media criticizing the team's shortcomings here and there, but I think this is enough. Although the European championship is very dazzling, it is not everything. You must know that we still have the league and the FA Cup! Don't worry about this past The game took too much experience!"

This was the only thing Ferguson heard from the boss on the phone that night, no greetings, no goodbyes!That's it.

I don't blame you for failing, but I don't want to end up with nothing, so take your chances!Neither the league nor the FA Cup can be lost!
