Chapter 31 Offside
The two wings fly together, this tactic can be said to be one of the most common tactics in football tactics.
In modern football, two wings fly together do not necessarily require two wingers or two wingers, or two fullbacks. The characteristic of this tactic is that two wingers need to be opened at the same time to have more opportunities to score. Only attack one way, the opponent's defense will be easy, and there will naturally be fewer opportunities. Moreover, the two wingers now pay attention to cross-switching positions, the purpose is to increase the opponent's defensive pressure and increase the success rate of attack. When an opportunity appears on one side, the center and the other side's players have to cross in front of the goal, and then the other winger plays the role of a forward.
It sounds good and wonderful, but in fact, not many people can truly fly together.
In the Premier League, a more famous example is that Manchester United, which had Beckham and Giggs back then, was one of them. Now Manchester United's wings have grown older, and Ronaldo has gone away from Real Madrid, which is no longer as gorgeous as before. But in fact, Manchester United's tradition has never changed. Although the era of relying on "one move" to "eat all over the world", especially for giant teams, the changing game conditions and the competition of strong enemies have forced them to approach the legendary "three-dimensional attack".
Manchester City is the same. Flying the two wings together is not Manchester City's only tactic, but it is the most important tactic.
In the first half, Manchester City's main offensives were on the left, although this does not mean that Manchester City was walking on the right. In fact, without the restraint of the right, Di Maria would not have been able to be on his side in the first half. However, after all, the offensive was not on the right, so it is certain that the physical energy consumption was less than the left. Of course, this is also related to the object Bale faced.
Di Maria's main opponent is Raphael, while Bale's main opponent is the twenty-nine-year-old Evra.
From left back to left forward and to a more pure winger, if these changes can be considered on Bale's own "territory", then the right side is an absolute challenge.
Therefore, the differences between the opponents and their adaptation to the new position make Bale's silence in the first half not difficult to understand.
However, Linson asked Bale to go to the right not to give Bale a good excuse when she performed poorly, and Bale also knew this very well. It is said that the ideas between geniuses are interoperable. At the beginning of this season, Martin Taylor commented on the lineup of each team in the football program footballfirst he hosted. For Manchester City's left, the keywords given by Martin Taylor is not luxury, but luxury.
Yes, it's just a luxury. Bale at the 30 million level, Di Maria at the 20 million level, and Reus at the 10 million level, is just the price when these people bought it. Seeing such a list, it's not difficult to understand why Petrov still had to leave the team when he was willing to substitute and performed poorly.
"Luxury" in the same position can be called a happy trouble for the head coach. But for the players, it means cruel competition. If Bale can still live in "peaceful" with the opponent at the end of last season, then the arrival of Di Maria in the new season will be a direct impact.
Because Di Maria performed well, so good that if Linson chose the latter between him and Di Maria, Bell had nothing to say.
At this time, moving the position to the right may cause evasion, but it may not be an attempt, because if Bale can also give a good performance on the right, it will undoubtedly allow him to add a sufficient amount of chip to the head coach's position. You should know that the left and right boundary of the role of winger has become increasingly blurred, and the tactical transfer requirements force the role of winger to no longer hold on to one side like before.
Bale's attempt in the first half was not a failure. At least, although he failed to create any good offensive opportunities on this side, the opponent's Nani was not able to stand much cheaper from his side.
In the second half, Bale, who noticed that the opponent's Evra's physical strength began to decline, began to gradually exert his strength.
Manchester United's left side is different from the right side. In the first half, Manchester United was Park Ji-sung Garafael on the right side. In defense, the former was "making up for" the latter, while Naniga Evra on the left was the latter, because everyone knows Nani's playing characteristics.
The game changed again in the 64th minute.
"Yaya Toure intercepted in the midfield, he passed the ball to Bale on the right, and Evra defended Bale..."
In an ordinary football match of ninety minutes, no commentator can yell for ninety minutes, so generally only at some specific times will the commentator show his "passion". For example, when a goal is possible, the commentator's tone will be raised in advance and his speaking speed will suddenly increase. This time, Martin Taylor's commentator's speed is still slow, which means that he does not think that this steal from Manchester City will pose too much threat, or that is not special compared to before.
Not just him, but all the fans who are watching this game will think so.
Because despite being stolen, Manchester United's formation was maintained very well and did not give the opponent any chance to fight back quickly.
But, everything has exceptions.
For example, Bell's speed is an exception.
Bale, who seemed to have not gained much advantage in Evra, suddenly chose a simple and violent way to break through: the man-goal scored.
Then.
Like a rocket, it ignites and takes off.
Evra caught off guard and wasted a turn around time. He was already pulled away by Bale. Then, when he also started to catch up, the Bale Rocket had already entered the first cosmic speed...
"...neck..." Perhaps because of age, Martin Taylor rarely uses onomatopoeia to express his amazement, but now, he can't help but take a breath. Even through the screen, he can still feel Bell's speed, because Evra, who is not slow, is gradually moving away from Bell.
"Garreth Bale! Breakthrough! Vidic made up, Carrick is retreating, I hope they can have time..."
But, it's too late!
Bale's speed was not only faster than Evra, but also faster than Carrick's retreat, and he didn't want to give Vidic a one-on-one chance to get back on defense. He just looked up at the penalty area, then kicked and passed the ball.
A fast and fast low ball.
Ferdinand, who was alone in the penalty area, was a little confused because in front of him, Falcao, who had scored a goal before, and behind him, Di Maria was inserting at high speed.
Van der Sar demonstrated his decisiveness at this time. He threw the goal straight out, and then hit the ball with one punch before Falcao shot.
But the crisis was not resolved. The ball hit by Van der Sar flew to the feet of Yaya Toure who was in front.
Everyone in the world knows that Yaya Toure has a beautiful long shot.
Van der Sar wanted to put a spring on himself. When he got up, Yaya Toure had already shot. At this time, Manchester United's Carrick was barely in place. He stretched out his feet and was ready to "foot forward" with the opponent in the danger of injury.
only……
"Beautiful! Yaya Toure did not shoot. He deceived Carrick and sent the ball to Di Maria on the left. Di Maria made a curved ball, and Van der Sar could not do anything..." When he saw Yaya Toure's fake shot and real pass, Martin Taylor couldn't help but exclaim, but at this time, he saw someone in the distance holding up the flag high.
"Uh...offside?...yes! The lineman raised his head to signal Di Maria to offside, and the goal did not count. This is a dramatic change..."
Offside?
Di Maria, who had already turned around to celebrate, soon noticed that the situation was wrong at the scene. He stopped strangely, then looked back at the referee. The referee Weber's hand did not point to the center circle. Then he saw the lineman's flag raised high. Di Maria, who had always appeared in public with a gentle expression, suddenly became a little ferocious. He rushed towards the lineman.
However, Lin Sen, who has never concealed his emotions at all, was extremely calm this time. Standing in front of the coach's seat, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the fourth official at the first time, quickly took the initiative to run towards the linebacker, signaling Di Maria, who was arguing with him, not to bother.
Of course, this is not Lin Sen's sudden change in character, or he also thinks that the ball is really offside.
Before this, Lin Sen still believed in his players, not to mention that he could see the mood changes of the person involved Di Maria after knowing that the goal was judged to be offside. At least, Di Maria must be very sure that the ball is not offside. Of course, he also has reasons for dissatisfaction, but he had to temporarily suppress this dissatisfaction first.
If the score is a draw at this time, Lin Sen doesn't mind putting pressure on the referee with his anger, but now, Manchester City is still ahead. If Manchester City affects the mentality of the game because of this ball at this time, that is the worst thing.
The stands at the city court seemed to have been on a roller coaster again. When Di Maria scored the ball, they raised their arms and shouted. However, when Webber signaled that the goal was invalid, they fell into a moment of silence, followed by a harsh boo.
Looking at the Manchester City players who were still entangled with the referee, Ferguson, who was standing on the other side, knew that it was not an appropriate choice to smile at this time, because after all, Manchester United is still behind, but it is undeniable that the penalty just now really helped Manchester United. Ferguson did not go to the big screen because whether it was offside or not, it was not important to him now.
Ferguson turned his gaze to Lin Sen again, and sighed in an inappropriate way: This is not a young head coach...
Ferguson thought for a moment and suddenly decided to add a fire.
He stood up from the coach's seat, walked to the sidelines, then raised his hand and applauded. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
