I am the king of football

Chapter 265: Change of General
The birth of the first goal also meant the break of the game situation, and the morale of both sides began to become unbalanced.

Braga players, who thought that Manchester United was indeed so strong, became increasingly nervous in the face of the Red Devils, who were so powerful. Even though the opponent had fielded half of their main lineup, the Portuguese Super League team still desperately found it difficult to threaten their opponent.

They saw hope in the last match, but that was because Manchester United had problems. Now it seems that this team is in its hottest form. If the opponent does not give them any chances, how should they respond?

"Shrink the formation and stabilize the situation first."

At this time, the Braga coach on the sidelines made decisive adjustments. It was not difficult for Braga, who had deployed a heavy force in the midfield in this game, to make such adjustments. Soon the home team quickly retreated after the kick-off.

"After conceding a goal, they didn't try to equalize quickly but instead retreated. Braga was really afraid that Manchester United would take advantage of their victory and kill the game directly."

Zhan Jun was also stunned. Without Qin Hu's appearance in this match, everyone was expecting a resounding victory. Now it seems that the match will become a fight between a big bus and a broken bus.

In the following period of the first half, the Red Devils still maintained a very high desire to attack, and all the players pressed forward. Rooney, as the team's most forward star, frequently appeared in the camera.

However, because Braga's recovery was thorough enough, they were able to hold on to the situation during this period.

Regardless of whether Manchester United took off from the wing to cross the ball or tried to penetrate the middle, facing the opponent's large number of players and densely positioned positions, Rooney, who is not good at breaking through, can only rely on his body to try to open a path.

When the half-time whistle sounded, the score of 1-0 also announced the failure of all Rooney's attempts, and he failed to help the team expand the advantage again.

However, a one-goal lead and the opponent's complete retreat and surrender were still good results. Ferguson did not blame his players too much during the half-time break.

There was no player capable of a one-on-one breakthrough or top-notch long-range shooting skills in the starting lineup he arranged this time. Rooney was mostly used as a traditional English center forward.

As for Little Pea, he is more dependent on the passes from his teammates behind him. Although he has a good running style, he can't do much when the opponent is surrounded by dense crowds of people.

In this case, it seems that someone needs to be replaced.

"In the second half, keep trying to break through their defense. At the same time, you must do a good job of defense and don't let the opponent seize the opportunity to counterattack. If that happens, I will be very angry!"

With a wave of his hand, Ferguson's meaning was very clear. Even if there were no goals in the second half, there must not be any goals conceded. The team must at least maintain a 1-0 lead.

"understand!"

Just like that, Manchester United's halftime arrangements were all completed. After waiting for a while, the starting players strode out of the player tunnel after the staff knocked on the locker room door.

The boos continued, but it did not affect the mood of the Red Devils players. All the substitutes who finally waited for their chance to start in the Champions League were still eager to make a move.

"Okay, the game has started again! Let's wait and see what adjustments the home team Braga will make in the second half."

Zhan Jun's voice sounded again, and the two teams on the field fought again. Although they didn't want to admit it, the fact was that Manchester United did draw a good lot, but at the same time it also meant that the games in his group would be much less exciting than other groups.

If it weren't for Qin Hu, CCTV would never broadcast this match. CCTV's on-site cameramen also understood this. They kept turning the camera to Ferguson in the coaching area and Qin Hu, who was as steady as a rock on the bench. Everyone was wondering whether Qin Hu would be able to play in this match, and whether they could continue to see Qin Hu's record of scoring in every Champions League game.

On the field, time passed quickly. As the game gradually unfolded, Manchester United put more and more pressure on Braga. In the process, they actually gave the opponent several opportunities to counterattack.

The most thrilling one came in the 60th minute of the game. After the entire frontcourt had passed half the court, the Braga goalkeeper hugged Rooney's shot and kicked the ball directly through the midfield for a counterattack.

At that time, two Braga attacking players rushed forward, and after a player passed the ball forward, the team's leader Ede took the ball and went through the gap in the middle of Manchester United's defense line.

Unfortunately, Ferguson only had a trick up his sleeve in front of his own goal in this game. The Red Devils' goalkeeper De Gea made a quick attack and just when Ed had just broken through the defense line and stepped into the penalty area with a sigh of relief, he made a flying save and confiscated the ball.

"De Gea! Fortunately it was De Gea! Manchester United almost capsized in the ditch. Their defense was a little slack after the team pressed the opponent for 60 minutes~"

The frontcourt is picturesque, and the backcourt is De Gea. According to some fans' jokes, Manchester United's defense has to hit De Gea at the end of every game. This joke is not made up casually.

"Manchester United must expand the score as soon as possible. The combination of Rooney and Klopp can create too few opportunities when facing dense defense."

"Qin, get ready to go on stage."

After seeing this thrilling scene, Ferguson's expression finally changed. He was not going to wait any longer. If he didn't break through the opponent's goal, the team on the field might really get out of control. By then, there would be more and more loopholes in the defense and it would be useless.

"Okay, BOSS!"

Qin Hu, who was sitting there with his butt numb, responded loudly to his coach and quickly ran to warm up.

Five minutes later, when CCTV's broadcast camera once again turned to Ferguson, Qin Hu, wearing the No. 19 jersey, appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow~"

In a corner of the Braga Municipal Stadium, Manchester United's travelling fans instantly cheered. The fans who had been waiting in front of the TV for a long time also celebrated and quickly woke up some friends who had fallen asleep.

"Substitution! In the 66th minute of the game, Manchester United made the first substitution. Qin Hu came on as a substitute for Hernandez. This was an adjustment on the front line, obviously to better break the bus."

Whether it's a powerful shot or a header, Qin Hu has reached the level of a superstar. These two skills are also the most useful when breaking the bus. Now it depends on his performance.

After quickly high-fiving Little Pea who was running off the field, Qin Hu excitedly rushed to his corresponding position and the game continued.
