Chapter 472 The X that you put on yourself, you have to finish putting it on the street!(1/2)
Manchester United coaching seat.
Head coach Ferguson's face no longer relaxed, and his brows were already tightly frowning.
Looking at the cheering Millwall player on the court, looking at the disappointed Manchester United player, and then noticed the depressed C-Ronaldo, and finally realized the problem.
c-Ronaldo is restricted by the opponent!
It is not surprising that the opponent will focus on limiting C-Ronaldo, but this is definitely the first time this season when Mirwall attaches so much importance to it.
Zambrota follows closely, and is definitely a superstar treatment!
Ferguson didn't know whether he should be happy that C-Ronaldo was given attention to his opponent, or whether he was depressed because C-Ronaldo was stared at, but no matter what, it was difficult for C-Ronaldo to perform.
Manchester United is setting up a 433 formation, and C-Ronaldo can be said to be the right forward.
It is really unimaginable that the opponent is willing to pay the price to defend a right forward and even loosen the defense on the left and middle lanes. From an overall tactical perspective, c-Ronaldo has already achieved the goal of playing and made enough contributions.
But Rooney Alan Smith?
Can they do it?
Ferguson was a little uncertain, but he believed that Manchester United had no disadvantages, because C-Ronaldo attracted enough defense, and players from other roads would have more opportunities. As for C-Ronaldo's failure to perform, there was no good idea. At least in the first half, he was powerless to change.
Ferguson only hopes other players can perform well.
After the game started again, Millwall and Manchester United continued to have fierce battles.
Millwall has a chance.
Manchester United have a chance, too.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the pace was very fast. The audience and the fans in front of the TV were enjoyable. The TV commentator's words were full of ****, but what Millwall could accept was that Manchester United couldn't accept that no more goal appeared until the end of the first half.
The first half ended 1-0.
Ferguson had a calm face and returned to the locker room first.
He thought about what to do.
Millwall's style of play is very targeted, defending C-Ronaldo's point, and the defense in other positions is relatively loose; on the offensive, they rely on Braniff's performance in the middle to lead the entire offensive. The left, right and middle performances are good, but there is only one core, that is Braniff.
Braniff performed very well, and Millwall's overall offensive naturally played very well.
So Manchester United needs to adjust to these two points.
The first is to help C-Ronaldo pull the defensive attention, try to let go of C-Ronaldo's position, and give him enough room to play.
This is also a helpless choice.
In the 45 minutes of the first half, Ferguson had already figured it out that C-Ronaldo was the most important and it was difficult for other players to count on.
Rooney and Alan Smith are not facing tight defenses, but they waste their chances continuously. Even if they get the ball in a good position, they can at most threaten the opponent's goal. If they want to score, they have to rely on luck.
The performance of these two people was disappointing.
Not to mention the midfield, facing Millwall's offense, it is a problem for the midfield to defend well. Fletcher and Carrick almost never participate in the offense. It is hard to imagine how much help can be achieved by relying on a veteran Giggs.
Giggs, old!
It’s not like a few years ago that Giggs was able to really rush on the left side. He was able to use his experience to cooperate with his opponents and provide frontcourt support. It was already amazing.
Second, naturally, you must stick to the middle road.
Millwall's offense is much less threatening, especially when he is near the penalty area, the offense always returns to the middle. The two forwards Darren Bent and Valdy will cooperate with the middle and rarely cooperate with the wing teammates.
Laying a tight defense at the front of the penalty area is the best way to deal with Millwall.
After all the players returned to the locker room, Ferguson lost his usual "roar" expression of dissatisfaction with the game. He seized the time and talked about his playing style in the second half.
Manchester United players all breathed a sigh of relief.
When Ferguson was angry, it was still terrible. If he could face it less, he would face it less. They all felt that they were not good in the first half and felt that they had no face to face the head coach.
In fact, Ferguson is a reasonable person.
Manchester United's overall performance in the first half cannot be said to be too bad, of course it is not very good, but the biggest reason is the coaching staff's preparation mistakes. They only prepare for Millwall's "dual core" style of play. Considering that 442 is just a defensive counterattack, I didn't expect Millwall to suddenly change the team and can still play so well.
Of course.
Manchester United lagged behind the score and did not use the daily "roar" to vent, but talked about the second half style with the players. It was definitely not because it became 'reasonable', but because there was not much time and the change adjustments were made, which was a bit insufficient for more than ten minutes.
Ahem...
The stubborn, old-fashioned, irritable Mr. Jazz would never admit this.
On the other hand, Zhang Yang is demanding to strengthen his defense.
Millwall's targeted play only applies to the first half. Manchester United will definitely make adjustments in the second half. It is also necessary to strengthen defense. Zhang Yang particularly pointed out that when the team is suppressed, Braniff and Valdy must retreat to participate in the defense.
The 442 formation has two forwards and one of the central forwards. It would be a waste to stay in front.
It is still necessary for Vardy and Blaniff to retreat to defend. Darren Bent stood in front and had enough deterrence.
Zhang Yang was not worried either.
Manchester United will make targeted adjustments, but so what? Millwall is not afraid of Manchester United in the frontcourt. Even Millwall's frontcourt ability has surpassed Manchester United, especially Manchester United's 433 in the midfield. It can be said that it can no longer catch up with Millwall.
In addition, Manchester United's defense is still weak.
Manchester United is not Chelsea, Carrick, and Fletcher are still a little immature, and the "double midfielder" has no actual power.
Manchester United's previous good results rely more on C-Ronaldo.
Ferguson's biggest failure against Millwall, using the 433 formation.
What else to be afraid of?
The second half will definitely be a difficult confrontation, but Zhang Yang always believes that the final victory will belong to Millwall.
Just like Zhang Yang's judgment, the two sides had a fierce confrontation at the beginning of the second half, and Manchester United relied on the explosion of the midfield to suppress Millwall.
Millwall's defense has gone through a tough test.
Although C-Ronaldo's performance has been limited a lot, Manchester United has Rooney, Giggs, and Alan Smith. They are not soft persimmons. They are definitely very good players who can enter Manchester United and play as the main players.
When Manchester United regained their form and was determined to tie the score, Millwall's defense was a bit dangerous.
At this time, a player's performance becomes very outstanding-
David Livermore!
Livermore is a player full of contradictions. Any club, any head coach or even any fan must admit that Livermore is a very outstanding player. His long-range shot can give the opponent enough shock and can also become a very excellent goal-scoring method.
In the Champions League game, Livermore has scored five goals, ranking third in the Champions League scorer list, and only AC Milan's Kaka and Darren Bente, Billyvermore has scored more goals.
It's a bit unimaginable that a midfielder can squeeze into the top three of the scorers in the Champions League.
This is Livermore.
Similarly, Livermore is easily restricted. His awareness, overall situation, cooperation and personal skills are all different from other players. He can score more and rely more on his teammates to attract defense, do balls and other support.
In the Premier League, Livermore played a lot but not scored many goals, so far only five, because when the opponent understands Livermore, he is easily restricted.
However, Livermore is still 'preferred', and everyone must admit that he deserves 'preferred', because Livermore has a very strong defensive ability and being a pure defensive midfielder is also extremely excellent.
In terms of defense, Livermore has three advantages: one is its abundant physical fitness.
He has sufficient physical fitness to support Livermore running continuously. He is Millwall's Gattuso. When he arrives on the field, he can become a soul figure who can't run in front of the penalty area.
Second, the body is extremely strong.
Few players have ever bumped into Livermore. When he comes to defend, it is very difficult to deceive him with skills. Most of them can only choose to pass the ball.
Strong body also supports the third advantage - strong defense ability on one-on-one.
Livermore, who has these three advantages, performed quite strongly in defense. He kept running, constantly participating in defense and direct confrontation, which made Manchester United's offense extremely troublesome. Often, when encountering Livermore, he had to choose to pass the ball, which also disrupted their offensive rhythm.
After seeing Livermore relying on his height advantage and push the ball out of the penalty area again, the commentator of "Sky Sports" couldn't help but sigh, "Livermore can do everything! Perhaps Millwall's defense is enough!"
Of course, Livermore's excellent performance cannot cover up the passiveness of Millwall's situation. On the other hand, it is Livermore's excellent that proves that Millwall is very passive.
Manchester United has been launching attacks.
Livermore cannot hold on every time. Every player of Millwall has to face a lot of pressure, especially goalkeeper Graham, who is nervous and ready to deal with possible shots at any time.
This situation is very unfavorable to Millwall.
In a gap, the camera pointed to the coach's seat on the sidelines, and Zhang Yang, who is head coach of Millwall, seemed to be not caring about the situation.
He looked calm and had a smile on his lips...
The commentator of "Sky Sports" couldn't help but wonder, "Milwall's defense is very dangerous, and Zhang Yang doesn't seem to care much. Is it like many 'Zhang fans' saying that the game is under the control of Zhang Yang?"
The latter sentence is a bit ironic.
There is a "Zhangyang fan group" behind Zhang Yang. The "Zhangyang fan group" is quite large, with more than 50,000 members, most of which are fans in London. The boss of the fan group is Millwall's notorious football hooligan Milwin.
Since recognizing Zhang Yang as the head coach, Malvin has "turned back to justice" and devoted himself to supporting Zhang Yang. He often organized some activities to make the fan club prosperous and has some small cooperative relationships with Millwall Club.
The "Zhangyang Fan Club" also set up a "headquarter" and is located at a fan bar on the corner of Cromere Street in north London. It seems that a regular fan club gives others a bad feeling, because the public's impression of the "Zhangyang Fan Club" is full of extremely fanatical, and even some brainless fans. They support Zhangyang crazy, which is much more enthusiastic than normal star-chasing people. They think Zhangyang is omnipotent.
When it comes to the game, Zhang Yang always performs calmly, and they think that everything is under Zhang Yang's control.
This is also the source of satirical commentator.
