[0472 chapter] Fighting wits and courage
As the game whistle sounded, the long-awaited highlight of the game finally took place. The cheers of nearly 80,000 fans at the scene were transmitted to the world through satellite signals.
In the center of the pitch, when Gu Fei received Ibrahimovic's return pass, he found that Mascherano was immediately entangled with him, while Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek was already standing on the goal line.
It seems that Gu Fei's shocking lob against Newcastle United has made Premier League goalkeepers remember it.
This is also an important reason why many media are still unwilling to list Gu Fei as a superstar in international football. In the eyes of media reporters and professionals, the reason why Gu Fei was able to play well in the first two league games and kill so many people was
Quartet, because the Premier League teams still lack a basic understanding of Gu Fei.
Once the Premier League head coaches and players have an in-depth understanding of the players, these top players in the world will be able to find out Gu Fei's weaknesses and put restrictions on Gu Fei so that he will no longer be able to perform freely in the Premier League.
Seeing this, Luffy was not in a hurry to hit the goal, but passed the ball to Ronaldinho's feet and launched a patient attack.
At this time, Gu Fei discovered that even if he didn't have the ball at his feet, Liverpool's midfielder Mascherano was still following him closely, never leaving.
Benitez is indeed a master tactician. After just observing two games, he came up with a way to restrict Gu Fei.
In the original time and space, Mascheranos was loaned to West Ham United from Corinthians in Brazil this season and began to show his football talent to European giants.
But this season, Liverpool, which has deep pockets, bought out Mascherano from his agency by spending cash. The price of 25 million pounds is a sky-high price for a 22-year-old defensive player.
In this summer's transfer market, Abramovich's investment in Chelsea is still the highest in the Premier League, and the second-ranked team is Liverpool, which is trying to rise.
Introducing Atletico Madrid's standard-bearer Torres and Argentina's defensive genius Mascherano, Benitez has big plans.
This game is the perfect opportunity to test the effectiveness of all the work Liverpool and Benítez have done this summer.
Luffy saw that Mascherano had been following him, so he was not in a hurry. He stepped up his running and never sloppily received the ball, often passing it with one kick.
Today, Gu Fei is the soul of Manchester United. Every move he makes conveys different tactical ideas to his teammates.
Seeing Gu Fei being entangled by Mascherano, Ronaldinho and Giggs stepped up their attacks on the wing, trying to stretch Liverpool's defense as wide as possible.
Carrick, who was in the backcourt, also moved his position forward to help Gu Fei organize and move. Benitez's tactics were completely deciphered in a short time.
Benitez, who was off the court, saw this situation and immediately realized that Gu Fei was a difficult opponent.
In the past three years, Benitez has played against Ferguson many times in the Premier League. He knows very well that the Scottish old man is better at hard work of making bridges and horses, rather than this kind of carving out tactical details.
Less than 10 minutes after the game started, Gu Fei used his adaptability to solve his own problem and thought hard about tactics for a week. This shows that Gu Fei's tactical thinking is much higher than that of ordinary players.
Under Liverpool's banner, there is also a player with such a delicate tactical thinking. He is the Spanish international Xabi Alonso, who is affectionately called Long Ge by Chinese fans.
Benitez knew that he could not defend against Manchester United. He stood up and gestured to Xabi Alonso, asking him to lead his teammates to strengthen the midfield fight and patiently organize the attack.
20 minutes after the start of the game, although neither player had scored the other's goal, the fierce fighting in the midfield and the shooting opportunities created by various cooperation made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV watch with gusto.
You can't feel the passage of time at all!
"Judging from the first 20 minutes of the game, the head coaches of both sides are trying their best to compete in the midfield. After all, the most equal link between the two teams is the hardness and creativity of the midfield." Faced with the formation of the two tactician masters,
Teacher Zhang Lu was also itchy and rarely published a lengthy speech of her own.
"Now, it depends on which player on both sides can break free from the opponent's pressure and create a better chance to score!" As the number one commentator of Chinese football, Huang Taixian's understanding of tactics is no worse than that of ordinary professional coaches.
"Manchester United is still stronger than Liverpool. Although Gu Fei was restricted, he still created several opportunities with his super personal ability. It's a pity that the goal frame of Old Trafford is poisonous!" The rhythm of this game.
It goes on very quickly, with both sides switching offense and defense in an instant, and Gu Fei's super abilities are often fully demonstrated at this moment!
In less than 30 minutes, Mascherano, who was always known for his superior physical strength, was already out of breath as he was being walked by Gu Fei, and it seemed that he could no longer keep up.
After all, Gu Fei's already maxed-out physical strength and physique are not limited. He has already surpassed the limits of ordinary humans.
When Mascherano's physical fitness declined, Gu Fei keenly seized on this loophole, forced a break through Mascherano's defense in the midfield, and drove straight in with the ball.
Mascherano was a little slow when he made the tackle, and was thrown away by Gu Fei. He lay on the lawn and watched helplessly as Gu Fei penetrated into the heart of his own penalty area.
Luffy broke through Mascherano's defense in the middle zone, and Wang Laoji, Ronaldinho, Rooney and Ibrahimovic ran like arrows from a string.
Sky Sports' aerial photography airship captured the Manchester United team's counterattack. Luffy sprinted in the middle, and the other four Manchester United players cut through the waves like destroyers escorting an aircraft carrier.
At this time, the defensive system carefully built by Benitez collapsed. When Zhang Manlin and five superstars formed a 5-on-4 frontcourt, the outcome was already doomed.
Facing the Finnish guard Hyypia's attack, Luffy easily picked the ball, completed the pass, and faced Dudek directly.
At this time, the goalkeeper who performed the noodle dance in the penalty shootout of the Champions League final no longer had the calm expression she used to have. She was hysterical and rushed towards Gu Fei with a ferocious face.
However, Gu Fei was not greedy for credit. His light heels gave Ronaldinho, who was following up, the opportunity to face the empty goal, and he easily succeeded in one stroke.
When the ball sent white waves over the net, all the Manchester United fans who had been holding their breath stood up and cheered for this wonderful goal.
This is a goal that fully reflects Gu Fei's super personal strength. Although the scorer is Xiaolong, everyone knows that 90% of the credit for this goal must be attributed to Gu Fei.
It was precisely because of Gu Fei's continuous breakthroughs that a flaw appeared in Liverpool's complete defensive system. Finally, Ronaldinho scored his fifth league goal this season!
Benitez sat in his seat with a livid face and kept mumbling. He took out his tactical board and started writing and drawing on the paper.
Chapter completed!
