Chapter 160 The opening situation

The reporters in the media table, as well as various commentators, football commentators, and senior fans also watched the game seriously. They also didn't understand the situation on the field. It was obvious that the Derby team on the field was completely different from what they remembered.

In their impression, Derby County is a team that is good at attacking.

Their offense is beautiful, the formation is very clear, and the defense is also carried out by pressing the whole game. Even if the ball is changed, their formation will still be very forward. If the opponent is not used to pressing and then quickly conceals the ball, the offensive threat of Derby County will greatly increase. This is also a way for Derby County to suppress the opponent and they can often win with big scores this season.

But until the beginning of this game, Derby County's performance is incomprehensible. Needless to mention the offense, they have not had a threatening offense yet, and the defense is also surprising. Their formation has become 541, but if you don't look carefully, you can't see the formation at all. Their position is very chaotic.

Could it be that Derby County players have not adapted to the game and are not performing well in the near future? But why can't they perform so poorly that they can't stand...

Many people are confused.

But even if it was not good to perform, Manchester United didn't seem to have any advantage. Manchester United's continuous attacks did not achieve any effect. Just like this time, C-Ronaldo made a one-on-one shot from the wing and drove the ball to rush.

Many Manchester United fans cheered in the stands!

c-Ronaldo has conquered many Manchester United fans with his superb skills that attract attention. He is now Manchester United's new idol. This time, C-Ronaldo performed very well. He directly passed the young player Leto Ziegler who started the game. The latter was chasing desperately, but C-Ronaldo's speed was very fast. Leto Ziegler's five-ball run was difficult to keep up with C-Ronaldo.

But it doesn't matter.

Soon c-Ronaldo dribbled the ball and reached the bottom line. At this time, he looked up again and wanted to stop the ball and complete the cross, but suddenly found that he had to face the defense of three people... Looking at the figures of the three defensive players in front of him, c-Ronaldo was a little confused for a moment. At the corner flagpole, facing the defense of three people, even if he is the world's first dribbler master, he probably won't be able to continue dribbling. If he can kick the ball on the opponent's player, he will bounce out of the bottom line. Fighting for a corner kick opportunity is the best result, otherwise he will definitely be intercepted directly.

c-Ronaldo obviously lacks experience. He failed to make a judgment immediately, and then Reto Ziegler behind him hooked the ball away.

"C-Ro's ball was cut off!" The commentator on the scene shouted regretfully.

Although he has no tendency to play and will not favor Manchester United, C-Ronaldo's dribbling is still very beautiful, but he was still intercepted, which is somewhat regrettable.

Derby County got the ball and launched an attack, but after passing the ball on the side of the midfield, the ball was cut off by Manchester United captain Roy Keane, and soon another wave of attack from Manchester United came.

This time it was Scholes.

As Manchester United's 92 Golden Generation, Scholes is not outstanding compared to stars such as Giggs and Beckham. But his skills are very comprehensive, and everything is good, and the same goes for dribbling. This time, Scholes just crossed the center line. Seeing that there was only one defensive player in front of him, he decisively chose to break through.

Leon Ottoman in front of him.

Ottoman came over to press, and he stared at Scholes cautiously. But this time Scholes deceived him with a fake move, but when he reacted, his movements could no longer keep up.

But that's OK!

When Scholes broke through Ottoman and went to chase the ball, he found that there was another player in front of him - Baker Alfred. The Derby County young player centre-back left the penalty area and rushed towards him. Scholes reacted and quickly ran a step, but the football was still driven out by Alfred.

"The ball was cleared by young player Alfred!" said the live commentator.

This is not the first time he said something similar. Ten minutes before the game, Manchester United kept attacking, but football rarely hits the Derby County penalty area. For various reasons, football will be cut off, and then the ball rights will be changed. It is Derby County's turn to attack.

However, Derby County's offense was not smooth, and their overall progress was not too high. As a result, there was no other performance except for a long shot outside the penalty area in the seventh minute.

This kind of game looks like the offense and defensive drills between Manchester United and Derby County. Manchester United has been attacking. Derby County has been defending most of the time and does not attack at all.

"Does Derby County plan to hold on for 90 minutes?" some media speculated.

This conclusion is not surprising. In the face of a team like Manchester United, it is normal to have the opportunity to focus on defense. Playing defensive counterattacks against strong teams can lead to hope of victory. However, it is still surprising that Derby County chooses to defend. After all, Derby County has been engaged in offensive football all season, and it directly changes its tactics as soon as it reaches the FA Cup final... Can they play well?

But the facts are right in front of you.

The Manchester United players on the court didn't think so much. They only felt one thing-the Derby County players' counter-defense speed was too fast. For example, C-Ronaldo was double-teamed, and Scholes was intercepted just now, all of which were related to the Derby County's counter-defense speed. They were negligent, and the Derby County players had already come.

In the coach's seat, Manchester United coach Ferguson kept staring at the game.

Five minutes into the game, he felt very strange because the defensive formation of Derby County was in a mess, and there seemed to be no formation at all. His position seemed very chaotic and the players' running seemed very chaotic, but over time he still discovered the rules.

Even if it is confusing, there will definitely be some rules.

Among the five defenders in Derby County, most of them are in front of the penalty area, which means that they have three central defenders and the other two defenders are full-backs. The midfield still feels a little confused. They seem to have no forwards, so they are directly five midfielders. Five midfielders can add to the defense, which is also an important reason why Manchester United will be surrounded by the ball when they hit the penalty area.

Derby County seems to be focusing all its energy on defense.

And they are not in a mess in formation. They must have used a new defensive tactic, otherwise Manchester United would not have found a good opportunity for so long.

Faced with this new defensive tactic, Ferguson couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while, because so far, he hadn't seen such a day's tactic, which was definitely the latest. Ferguson didn't know how to deal with it for a while, because he had not fully understood Derby County's defensive tactics. It seemed very chaotic, but the position and running rules were certain, and the running speeds of each player were also very chaotic, which led to a mess in their half-court defense. But the team couldn't find any opportunity.

This is really surprising.

Confusion gradually came to my mind. Ferguson glanced at the coaching seat of Derby County on the other side. Now he had to admit that he had underestimated this young Chinese before. Just look at the opponent's tactics now, and he must have put in some effort. Moreover, this kind of defense is not a copy of tactics to defend, but a new defensive tactic, which must have been thought out by the opponent.

Come up with a new tactic. Let the team train and then use it directly in the FA Cup final. Not to mention the tactics, this kind of confidence and courage alone is not something that ordinary coaches can do.

The key is... this defensive tactic seems to be surprisingly good. At least Manchester United has not found any good opportunities so far, and has not even had a threatening shot.

Fortunately, Derby seems to be focusing on defense and has no performance on offense.

This also made Ferguson breathe a long sigh.

Even if the team has not found a good solution at the moment, the opponent's offense cannot do it. The team will naturally not be under any pressure. He can analyze the opponent's tactics peacefully and make some adjustments at the halftime break. He doesn't believe in 90 minutes, plus 30 minutes of extra time, a total of 120 minutes, and the team cannot break through the opponent's goal.

The opponent's energy is all about defense, so as long as Manchester United scores a goal, it is equivalent to seizing the victory.

Ferguson felt at ease and he watched the game patiently.

......

On the other side of the Derby County coaching seat, Wan Sheng sat there and watched the game seriously.

His idea was completely different from Ferguson.

Most of the team's energy is on defense? He admits this, but it is not certain to say that the team's offense is not threatening.

Defensiveness is fundamental in football games, but offense is also necessary, otherwise you can't win. Wan Sheng has always believed in this, otherwise he wouldn't let the team perform any "offensive football". Now it seems that the team is defending most of the time, but there are still occasional shots.

In the eyes of others, it was just a helpless long shot in front of the penalty area, but it was Derby County's goal strategy.

That's right, it's a goal strategy.

In this game, many of the players who were set to start the game in Wan Sheng prefer to have the ability to shoot a long shot. Ribery, Morris, and Cahill won't say much. Ottoman can also shoot outside the penalty area. The forward on the right side is Ivan Crue. His long shot ability is very average, but his set-piece ability is outstanding. In addition, the full-back young player Leto Ziegler, and the team's most outstanding long shot Leiden Bynes, and even central defender Marcus. In short, every point of the team is a player with shooting ability.

Their long-range shooting skills may be different from those world superstars, but the bonus of the two coaches' skills, "shooting technique" can increase the shooting ability evaluation by 5 points, "far-range shooting power increase" can increase strength by 20%, accurately correct 3 degrees, plus the bonus of attributes such as the player union skills, honor skills, "League Champion Halo", etc. In short, the players at each point in Derby County now have more than 80 long-range shooting ability, and there are high players, such as Leiden Bynes, who can even get close to 90 points.

Considering the chance of scoring a long shot, this doesn't seem to be a big deal, but with more long shots, the chances will increase a lot. In addition, Ivan Kreu's set-piece skills... In the 90-minute game, Wan Sheng believes that the team's chances of scoring are still very high.
