I am the king of football

Chapter 289: The First Move Has No Fear

2-1, although Manchester United actually took a considerable initiative in the past period of time, but due to the end of the first half, they had to temporarily accept this result.

Following their respective coaches, the two teams disappeared into the player tunnel one after another.

For a moment, Phil Jones, who gave the penalty kick in the Red Devils, lowered his head and dared not speak. Looking at the serious back of Ferguson walking in front of the team, the defender who had just tasted the taste of starting felt that he would be away from the main lineup again.

“Boss, I…”

As everyone entered the locker room, Phil Jones decided to take the initiative to stand up and admit his mistake. Instead of being directly scolded by Ferguson, it would be better to sincerely admit his mistake in order to seek leniency. This was the idea of ​​the young defender.

"Ah."

As soon as Phil Jones opened his mouth, Ferguson waved his hand to signal him not to continue.

"You did a great job. Defense should be like this, regardless of the consequences. Otherwise, what's the point of having a defender?"

Ferguson's words directly affirmed the defender's actions, leaving Phil Jones stunned. He felt like he was about to fall into endless darkness, but now he saw the light.

"But you've already received a yellow card. Be careful with your actions in the second half and don't get sent off."

"Okay, BOSS!"

Ferguson waved his hand to signal Phil Jones that he could sit down. Everyone in the locker room was obviously stunned by Ferguson's handling of the situation. Their own coach did not turn on the hair dryer and even praised Phil Jones when the team was trailing at halftime. This made everyone feel relieved.

"What? You thought I would scold you severely?"

Ferguson also realized that the atmosphere in the locker room was not right, but he rarely smiled and clapped his hands.

"You guys played well after the first goal. The second time we lost the ball we were unlucky. Rafael didn't slip on purpose, and Jones's block was also fine. Before that we were dominating the opponent."

Pulling the tactical board over, Ferguson drew three circles on Qin Hu, Rooney and Shinji Kagawa.

"As long as we seize the opportunities in the second half, we don't have to be afraid of our opponents, even if we are behind!"

After finishing his speech to motivate the players, Ferguson turned his attention to the three people in the circle.

"In the second half of the game, Duoduo tried to break through from the left. From my observation, I found that the opponent's defenders in this direction had a big problem..."

The problem Ferguson discovered was very simple, that is, both Mana and Anita were very weak in their ability to defend the ball behind them. Their speed was not fast enough, and they could only stand still and defend most of the time.

"Pass the ball more often behind the defense, Shinji Kagawa should try to pull the wing forward more often, and then Qin can take the initiative to move over here."

Ferguson focused his main energy on the team's offense and was very dedicated after choosing the route.

"Use speed and quick passing and cutting to break through the opponent's defense, then create space to shoot and seize fleeting opportunities. I think there should be no problem in completing these operations, right?"

"No BOSS!"

"Very good, I look forward to your performance in the second half."

After making sure that Qin Hu and the other two understood his arrangement, Ferguson put away his pen and looked at his teammates.

"I still say that this game is a match that we must win no matter what. I hope we can win in the last match of the first half of the season." "We will never let you down!!!"

When the door of the locker room was knocked again, all the players of Manchester United rushed out aggressively. Compared with the smiling Newcastle United players, they were more murderous.

"Okay, the second half has begun. Newcastle United took the lead. Their midfielder Cisse controlled the ball and crossed the half court. The Magpies still adopted the tactic of attacking forward."

Faced with such pressure from the opponent, the players in the midfield and frontcourt of Manchester United also rushed forward at the first time. They adopted the same tactics and ideas as their opponents, which means that there can only be one winner in the end. Now what the Red Devils have to do is to quickly equalize the score.

"Except for Scholes, who was in the defensive midfield, the players in other positions all started to press frantically, which directly put pressure on the Magpies. The ball was intercepted! It was really fast. This was the credit of Giggs and Rooney's combined pressure~"

Four minutes into the game, the ball changed hands again. Although Newcastle United counterattacked immediately, the ball was quickly delivered to Scholes' feet. Demba Ba's fierce pressure did not work even though Scholes was prepared.

"Manchester United started to control the ball and the ball was passed to Shinji Kagawa~"

From the first attack, the players began to follow Ferguson's arrangements. Shinji Kagawa received the ball on the left and moved forward at the fastest speed, which forced Mana to follow quickly.

"Two wingers come to the wing to pull, how will Shinji Kagawa deal with it~, deep-fried meatball pass! Haha, it goes through the crotch! The ball goes through Mana's crotch."

Such a crotch pass was undoubtedly difficult for the defensive players to predict. As a result, Anita, who had been defending Qin Hu all the way, was one step slower than Qin Hu in reaching the passed ball.

"Qin Hu got the ball. He still has enough time to adjust and choose the next step."

For top players, handling the ball is sometimes really simple. With a body distance and a small swing, the ball can be delivered in an unexpected way.

"Shu~"

“Without too much adjustment, Qin Hu directly chose to poke the ball out, and rolled towards the Newcastle United penalty area close to Anita who was rushing over!”

"Oh!"

Also without giving the opponent's defensive players more chances to react, Rooney suddenly appeared and hit the ball in the most violent way. His shooting angle was still not that tricky, but the huge force and suddenness of the shot made it difficult for Krul to resist.

"It's in! The ball flew into the goal from the right side, and Rooney scored with a long shot!"

A successful attempt from behind, the distance between Anita and his own defense line directly became Manchester United's scoring area.

"Nice!"

Ferguson on the sidelines waved his fist excitedly after seeing this scene. The entire Old Trafford stadium was boiling again after Rooney scored a goal and rushed towards Qin Hu to hug him.

"Ohhhh~ Manchester United! Manchester United! We are the indomitable devils!"

There were cheers everywhere and the score was tied again. It was the 52nd minute of the game, only seven minutes before the start of the second half, and Manchester United seized the opponent's weak spot and scored a goal.

So what if the latecomer arrives first?

The fact that the starters were fearless and dared to take the initiative to launch this offensive war proved that Manchester United had strong confidence in offense. Now it seems that this confidence was not groundless.
