Chapter 413 Paris' Counterattack

"Pretty!"

"The goal went in!"

"Chu Feng! He danced in front of the penalty area, easily got rid of two defenders, and sent the ball into Paris Saint-Germain's goal again!"

“Amazing show!”

"Before the first half was over, he had already scored twice, demonstrating with his absolute strength what an unparalleled era is!"

"Manchester United is one step closer to achieving a triple crown!"

At the Stadium of Light, the deafening cheers of the Red Devils echoed in every corner of the stadium, hitting the green field like a wave.

At the intersection of everyone's eyes, Chu Feng was punching the air to celebrate the goal.

Compared to the feeling two years ago, he felt much more relaxed today and even enjoyed the game.

The reason is that the defense is not strong enough. Ordinary fans can't even call out the names of several players in Paris Saint-Germain's defense.

Then why was Paris Saint-Germain able to beat Bayern and advance to the final?

Of course it was the excellent performance of the front trident.

But when facing Manchester United's three defensive midfielders, the energy they could display suddenly became much smaller.

While Manchester United strengthens its defense, it does not have to worry about a decrease in offensive intensity.

After all, they have the strongest center in the world.

"Good job!"

"Champions League three consecutive games, here we come!"

The Manchester United players shouted excitedly.

Although playing for Manchester United, the fans' attention is on Chu Feng, causing their brilliance to be overshadowed.

But they don't have to think too much, just do what they should do.

Someone will lead them in the right direction.

Not far away, Mbappe couldn't help but look up at the sky, thinking that Manchester United was stronger than he imagined.

The gap between himself and Chu Feng is even greater than he imagined.

"What should I do?"

Mbappe asked in his heart.

No one could give him an answer, so he could only clap his hands and signal his teammates to cheer up.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in complaining and regretting.

It’s better to fight for a future.

"Steady the defense first and wait for the halftime break!"

Di Maria is still very stable.

Courtside.

"The typical low-profile counterattack tactic is really effective when facing strong teams."

"But Tuchel's execution was not resolute enough, and the front players did not retreat deep enough, which resulted in the dispersion of the backcourt defensive resources and gave Chu Feng a better environment to handle the ball."

Mourinho crossed his legs and looked at the field with a relaxed expression.

The team was two goals ahead of the opponent in the first half and he was very satisfied with the result.

As long as Manchester United plays steadily and steadily, they will most likely win and achieve the feat of winning three consecutive championships.

"Boss, why don't we learn from Bayern to press in the front court?"

Faria asked doubtfully.

"The reason is simple. By pressing high up the pitch at all costs, Bayern wants to get more ball possession and offensive opportunities, and to make up for the shortcomings of individual players by piling up offensive times."

"This is important for a team that lacks an absolute explosive point, but the problem is that we don't lack an absolute explosive point."

Mourinho shrugged.

In fact, it’s not that Manchester United can’t press, but that would expose more gaps. With the ability of Paris’ trident, they will most likely be able to seize the opportunity and turn it into a goal.

Therefore, he chose to be safe and not take too much risk.

The other side.

"We didn't take advantage of the speed of our players in the frontcourt during the counterattack. Too much conduction would only slow down the pace of advancing from the back to the front."

Tuchel stared at the Paris players and muttered to himself.

How to adjust?

Very simple.

"Using the individual abilities of the midfielders to make frequent positional adjustments can not only effectively coordinate Manchester United's midfield and backfield defense system, but also consume the physical energy of the opposing defensive players."

Tuchel quickly came up with the answer.

The camera returned to the court, and the two teams seemed to have a tacit understanding and no longer launched fierce attacks.

Beep!

The referee also blew the whistle to end the first half.

"The first half of the game is over. Thanks to Chu Feng's two goals, Manchester United is 2-0 Paris and is temporarily leading!"

"Let's take a look at the data of both sides!"

"Manchester United had a 53% to 47% ball possession advantage, and a pass success rate of 80.8%, reducing Paris' pass success rate to 73.2%."

"Not only that, in terms of the player's breakthrough success rate, Chu Feng succeeded in all four attempts, far ahead of Neymar and others."

"Even without looking at the statistics, Paris' passing was messy in the first half, and it was difficult to advance on the ground. They were forced to play long passes early on. Although they created some threats when attacking Manchester United's two wingers."

"But this is not the way Paris is used to playing."

"So they have to make adjustments to regain hope of a comeback."

“And with the level of Tuchel and Mourinho, I think the game will become more exciting after the halftime adjustment!”

"Whether Manchester United will win three consecutive championships or Paris will make a comeback, let's wait and see!"

At the Guangming Stadium, Chu Feng waved to the fans and slowly walked back with his teammates.

Maguire was very excited. He looked back at the championship trophy from time to time.

He even wanted to touch it.

But considering the spell, he didn't dare touch it at all.

Monaco player Giuly in 2004, Milan player Gattuso in 2006, Bayern player Tymoshchuk in 2012, and so on.

Although this kind of thing is not credible, many players who have touched the trophy eventually won the championship.

But it is better to believe it than not, so Maguire still holds this cautious attitude.

"Harry, don't make any mistakes in the second half, or David will scold you."

Chu Feng made a joke.

Of course, it also serves as a reminder.

As we all know, a player's concentration will decrease as the game progresses, which is an inevitable problem after fatigue.

However, if such a low-level mistake is made, it will probably leave a lifelong shadow.

"Don't worry, I will always remind myself." Maguire said, patting his chest.

Mourinho only started to review the game after everyone returned to the locker room.

"There were still some details that were not in place in the first half, but it is impossible to play a perfect game. We just need to do our best."

"I'm mainly talking about the defensive end. For example, in the 33rd minute of the game, Neymar's obvious position adjustment attracted most of your attention, and you ignored Mbappe who was wandering to the back post at the far end."

"If Thiago hadn't blocked it in time, the ball would have probably been scored, so don't limit your focus and pay attention to all their frontcourt players."

"David, don't forget to communicate more and remind them where to stand."

Mourinho said, leaning against the table.

After several seasons of training, Manchester United players have become one of the best teams in the world.

So he doesn't need to talk too much, the players will adjust themselves and adapt to the rhythm of the game.

Paris Saint-Germain dressing room.

"Being two goals behind doesn't mean anything. The game is far from over and we still have a chance."

"We can't do it on our own in the frontcourt anymore, we have to seek cooperation."

"You all know the reason. When the score is behind, the team needs to switch from the 7+3 mode to a more controlled and impactful offensive mode."

"In the first half, our attacking style was mostly three players running forward at high speed and long passes from midfield. This attacking style would be very threatening if it could penetrate Manchester United's two-line defense, but in terms of actual results, the success rate was too low."

"So, Verratti! You have to control the ball more in the midfield, help your teammates to sort out the situation, regain control of the midfield, and strengthen the connection with the frontcourt!"

Tuchel's tactical ability is needless to say.

After listening to Commander Tu's well-reasoned explanation, Mbappe and others regained their confidence and began to discuss how to attack.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly.

The Stadium of Light became noisy again.

"Neither team made any substitutions and continued to use their previous lineups!"

"But the tactical play will definitely change. Let's see how Paris will organize the attack. Will it continue to let the strikers play freely?"

After continuous transfers, the football came to Di Maria's feet.

Argentina's permanent vice-captain pretended to break through, but actually stopped and dunked to get rid of Matic, and passed the ball to Neymar before Kante came to assist.

The Brazilian dancer stopped dancing because he was stuck in the wheat.

Although Neymar is not physically strong, his ability to fight is quite good. At least he can hold off the defense and complete a nimble turn.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the Paris fans to exclaim, Thiago suddenly rushed out and completed a key steal.

"Beautiful! As the former captain of Paris Saint-Germain, he should know the characteristics of his teammates very well!"

"So the time he chose to steal the ball was right between Neymar's touches, which was perfect!"

"Will Manchester United take advantage of the situation and launch a counterattack?"

"Don't play, just keep the tempo steady and focus on passing and controlling the ball."

"Manchester United wants to delay time or force Paris Saint-Germain, waiting for them to rush forward and expose the gaps behind them, and then use a quick counterattack to threaten the opponent's goal."

"Mourinho is still too old. As the first head coach in history to lead his team into the Champions League final five times and maintain a 5% winning rate, he has experience in how to win that others don't have."

“For example, the current rhythm adjustment seems simple enough, but how to delay it and what method to use require careful consideration.”

Unknowingly, 15 minutes had passed and the game was in the 60th minute.

During this period, Paris did press forward, but Chu Feng put too much pressure on them, which led to the overall formation being out of sync for several consecutive times.

As a result, Paris kept pressing forward and retreating, wasting a lot of precious time.

Courtside.

Tuchel wanted to stand up to motivate the players, but he couldn't stand up because of the plaster on his foot, so he could only sit in the coaching seat and worry.

The situation now is simple: Paris is like a frog being boiled in warm water, and it will surely die if it continues.

So changes must be made.

He gritted his teeth and picked up his crutches, signaling the Paris players to press forward and ignore Chu Feng.

Losing by two goals is still a loss, losing by three goals is still a loss.

If you don’t try hard, who knows if you will have a chance?

The Paris players had strong execution and quickly regained the ball.

When Verratti received the pass from his teammate.

He no longer made straight or long passes to find the striker in a simple way. Instead, he cooperated with Marquinhos to carry out a separate encirclement and suppression of B Fee.

Manchester United's three defensive midfielders are very strong, but the single attacking midfielder also has problems.

They can fully utilize their numerical advantage to complete the advancement from back to front.

If Manchester United intensifies their pressing, then move to the wing and use the empty spaces to advance.

"Paredes dribbles the ball quickly!"

"As Argentina's left defender, he has good physical fitness and strong interception ability. His average number of interceptions per game is no less than Busquets!"

"Instead of carrying the ball forward himself, he passed the ball along the sideline to find Mbappe in front!"

“The sudden change of rhythm finally got rid of Wan-Bissaka and picked up speed!”

As Mbappe ran at full speed, Paris fans were on edge.

Thiago quickly made up for the deficit.

Facing his former teammate, he did not hesitate at all and pounced on him decisively and ferociously.

But Mbappe was in high spirits today.

Instead of slowing down, he continued to accelerate and rushed towards Thiago with the ball.

But when the two got closer, they suddenly slowed down.

Followed by.

At the moment Thiago stretched his legs to steal the ball, he tapped the ball with the inside of his foot and broke free.

Thiago gritted his teeth and turned around, but he was no longer young, and facing such a strong outburst, it was difficult for him to keep up.

"Mbappe didn't pass the ball to Neymar! He shot directly in the penalty area!"

"Looks like a far corner?"

"No! He aimed far and shot close, De Gea was deceived and saved the ball a beat too late!"

"Beautiful! The goal was scored!"

“Moving forward in the face of adversity – Paris has the best chance to top Europe!”

"For Paris, this championship is too important because it will directly determine whether Paris can keep Mbappe and Neymar."

"The summer transfer farce has already shown that the two want to leave. If Paris can't make a breakthrough in time, it is only a matter of time before they leave the team."

"And once Paris wins the Champions League, Mbappe's chances of staying will greatly increase!"

"So whether from an internal or external perspective, this season is Paris' best chance to challenge the European throne. They urgently need this championship to prove the value of the past years and fulfill the promises they once made!"

French commentator Riggsl said.

At the Stadium of Light, Paris Saint-Germain fans rubbed their eyes and stared at the goal in disbelief, where the football was lying quietly.

Did they pull one back?

The next second, they cheered wildly, looking forward to more goals.

Mbappe fished the ball out of the goal and waved to his teammates to grab it back.

"The game isn't over yet! If we can score one goal, we can score the second goal!"

The Ninja Turtles shouted with great leadership qualities.

In front of the goal, De Gea got up, patted his gloves and said helplessly: "There is no way, his movements are too realistic, and he is waiting for my center of gravity to move first, so it is too late for the second reaction."

"It doesn't matter, it's just one goal. Paris is indeed very strong, especially in the forward line, but we are not weak either."

Chu Feng showed a reassuring expression.

Even the strongest team in the world cannot avoid conceding goals.

What's more, Paris' forward line is worth as much as 4 million, which is several times that of Manchester United's defense.

Not to mention that the defense is already at a disadvantage.

"Don't be affected by this goal, and don't think about keeping the score and winning the championship. Now treat it as the beginning of the game. We must use offense to contain offense."

"This way we won't fall into Paris' rhythm and let them launch waves of attacks."

Chu Feng gave a few more instructions, then turned and walked towards the center circle.
