Chapter 388: Jiang is old

After the game started, Manchester United, who was at home, began to launch a tide of attacks. Leiden Oriental players, who have played against Manchester United for several games in recent seasons, are extremely familiar with their opponents and their offensive style. In recent seasons, Manchester United's personnel composition has been quite stable, and there will be no significant changes in style according to reason.

But ten minutes after the game, the players of Leiden Oriental felt awkward, because it was obvious that Manchester United's offensive rhythm seemed to have become much slower, which made Leiden Oriental players who were already used to fighting back and forth with the opponent in the midfield felt very uncomfortable.

The main reason for this situation is that the midfielder's dragging forward has changed from Keane to Bellon.

During this period, Peron is naturally one of the top midfielders in the world. In the Argentine national team and Lazio, his performance is not even inferior to Zidane who has lived a bit sluggish in Juventus in the past two seasons. If this were not the case, Manchester United would not have spent nearly half of the transfer budget to buy him. He has excellent skills, strong scheduling ability, and excellent long-range shooting and set-piece ability. At the same time, his strong physical fitness is not bad at defense, but his playing rhythm is relatively slow. After getting the ball, he habitually controls the midfield in a midfield. After a ball, then pass the ball out - Manchester United's drag-back midfield position occupies a very important part of their tactical system. Although Keane did not have any gorgeous skills before, his timely pass and accurate insertion were a very threatening part of Manchester United's offensive link. In the first few games, Ferguson often arranged five people in the midfield, so there was not much display of Perron's slow rhythm. Today, Keane was not here and Perron started to organize more offenses, Manchester United's offensive rhythm suddenly slowed down.

This is obviously a bit unfavorable for Manchester United. Keane's organization, Giggs' breakthrough, Beckham's cross, Scholes' insertion, the midfield cooperation of these four people has been working for many years, and their familiarity has reached a perfect level. Now there is an incompatible Peron in the middle, and Manchester United's midfield's offensive and defensive transformation has been greatly affected invisibly.

The introduction of Manchester United is also a rare failure to buy players at high prices. Perhaps because of the lack of good performance in the league and the Champions League last season, Ferguson is somewhat eager to improve the team's strength, but in this game, Manchester United's changes have made Leiden Oriental a little uncomfortable. Therefore, after the game began, Leiden Oriental made more mistakes in the frontcourt offense, and Manchester United had a considerable advantage.

Although Perron is a bit out of place with Manchester United's style, his ability is unquestionable. Gerrard is at a disadvantage in the face of his head. Perron's personal skills make it difficult for him to cut the ball from the opponent's feet. If he uses his physical confrontation, Perron is not very afraid of physical confrontation.

However, Bellon's passing and scheduling ability constantly gave Manchester United's golden wings a chance. Giggs and Daniel were fighting according to the old rules, and Beckham seemed to be in very good condition in this game. Although Ashley Cole was pestering the opponent with speed, he was often used to run away by Beckham, and then used his cross to create a huge threat to Leiden East's penalty area.

In the 18th minute, after receiving the ball, Beckham unexpectedly chose to make a breakthrough by dribbling the ball. After shaking away Ashley Cole, he advanced along the side. In desperation, Ashley Cole chose to foul. Beckham's free kick bypassed the defenders in the penalty area. Giggs, who was inserted at the back point, directly pushed the ball into the dead corner of the goal.

The result of a goal lead made the fans of Old Trafford Stadium excited. Manchester United fans firmly believed that they were the only ones who could stop Leiden East from unbeaten. Now, their team has indeed led Leiden East at home, which makes their spirits even more excited.

Seeing his team falling behind, Xiao Ming sat down instead. Although Leiden East was passive during this period, Xiao Ming could see that it was entirely because Leiden East players made continuous mistakes when a familiar opponent suddenly changed. After the discomfort after the opening, Leiden East players actually began to gradually adapt to the opponent's playing style, and began to feel that the difficulty was much less than before. The concealment of the ball was just an accident. If you continue to play like this, Leiden East will definitely have a chance.

Manchester United's back midfielder changed from Keane to Perron. In fact, the biggest impact was not their offense, but their defense. Perron used to play as the front midfielder. Although his defensive ability was pretty good, he would never have the momentum and toughness of Keane when defending. A good back midfielder can provide good protection against the front of the penalty area, and Perron now absolutely cannot do this.

After the game re-started, Leiden East launched a fierce attack, and they seemed very dissatisfied with the disadvantage just now. After all, Leiden East now has the ability to defeat the opponent no matter what strong team it encounters. This concealment not only did not hit their morale, but instead made their offensive desire even higher.

In just five minutes, Leiden East had two shots. Fanny's goal in the penalty area and Gerrard's long shot made Batterz in a hurry. Ronaldo's breakthrough at the front of the penalty area also allowed the opponent's Sylvester to use a foul to complete the defense. Figo's free kick hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before Leiden East scores a goal, but after Leiden East failed to attack, Xiao Ming saw Ferguson stand up from the coach's seat and then make a gesture to the court.

In the following game, Manchester United unexpectedly launched an iron barrel defense at home. Beckham also returned to the midfielder and helped Peron defend the front of the penalty area through his run. Solskjaer retreated to the right forward position, leaving only Beatty in front.

This change caught Xiao Ming off guard. After all, Manchester United had never acted like a dead-defense at his home court before. It seems that Ferguson was also helpless this time. Keane was not there, and the defense at the front of the penalty area could only increase his manpower. Although Beckham is one of the best right forwards in the world, his running ability and defensive ability are not bad at all. In addition, Perron's defensive ability is also good. When the two of them are together, Manchester United's defense at the front of the penalty area is not airtight, at least he can't score in casually.

"Ging is still so hot." The commentator of CCTV who broadcast the game sighed: "While the staff at hand are a little tight, he fully utilized his advantages and left Leiden East helpless. Compared with an old world like Ferguson, although Xiao Ming has created so many miracles before, he is still not as good as an old world in some aspects. We have discussed this issue in our program before. Although Xiao Ming is just a head coach who has become a monk halfway, compared with other head coaches, he has one of the biggest advantages, that is, as the chairman and coach, he has absolute authority and a certain position in the locker room without any constraints. This advantage cannot be

Underestimate whether players will do their wholeheartedly according to your arrangements often determine how good the team's performance can be... And he is a person who can listen to others' opinions and make his own judgments. Rather than saying that his previous results were the result of Xiao Ming's magical command, it is better to say that in the past few seasons, Leiden East has always been the most united team on the European continent, and there will never be any negative news. However, in this face-to-face contest, when the opponent's experienced head coach carefully sets a game for him, he may not be able to crack it. After all, compared with those orthodox head coaches, his experience in on-the-spot command is still relatively different."

This commentator is right. With Leiden Oriental personnel, especially since last season, there will be no controversy about being the strongest team in Europe. After all, almost all players in each position are world-class stars, but some people have not yet reached their peak. However, the process of winning the double championship last season was not easy. In this season, with a stronger personnel configuration, Leiden Oriental began to become a little difficult after the initial victory, because Xiao Ming's tactics have been familiar with almost everyone.

The experienced Ferguson targeted this point and gave Xiao Ming and his Leiden East a condom.

Judging from the performance and personnel composition of last season, Leiden East has almost no weaknesses. The players in various positions have excellent personal abilities and their cooperation is also extremely tacit. The team's age structure is reasonable, there are young players with motivation and vitality, and there are veterans who are experienced and able to control the rhythm... However, strength on paper does not mean strength in reality.

For this game, Ferguson had been preparing for a long time. He realized a characteristic of Leiden East. Although this characteristic is not a disadvantage, it is a point that can be used in the eyes of a dedicated person like Ferguson.

This characteristic is slow heating.

Leiden East rarely uses a fierce attack to tear the opponent's defense at the beginning of the game, and locks in the victory early. Sometimes they can do this when they are against weak teams. However, when facing teams with stronger strength, they always start to gain a foothold in the midfield, slowly build an advantage, and then gradually expand their advantages to finally form a winning momentum. This is something Xiao Ming has always been deliberately pursuing. Perhaps because of his younger age, he always makes his team more mature and patient. This is not a bad thing. In fact, this is what many wealthy families pursue.

However, Ferguson took advantage of this. Overly mature teams often lacked in response, which is absolutely true. After all, it is difficult to "respond to changes in the same way" on the football field. Targeted tactics are the key to a team's victory. After taking the lead through changes in the team's rhythm and the offense after the opening, when Leiden Oriental's midfielder's advantage was slowly exerted, Ferguson decisively allowed the team to defend all members, to wipe out Leiden Oriental's fighting spirit and patience, and to form an impatient mood.

Leiden Oriental is not as impatient as the top and bottom, but it doesn't seem to have any tricks to defend against Manchester United. Once a strong team of Manchester United starts defending with all members, it will be difficult to break through their defense. Just like in the past two seasons, if Leiden Oriental has launched a full member defense in the Champions League and the league, even teams of Real Madrid and Barcelona will have no temper. Now they know the depression feeling of those opponents at that time.

Although Leiden East does not lack the tactics of breaking the iron barrel formation, it depends on what kind of opponent you face. Stam is so prestigious in the penalty area, and it is difficult for Fanny's running and impact to dodge his defense. Although Leiden East's Jinklaze, Ronaldo and Figo continue to use their personal ability to break through to create opportunities, there is no good opportunity to face Manchester United's overall defense.

In this way, the first half game ended. During the halftime break, Xiao Ming adjusted his tactics in time and began to increase the number of assists from the two full-backs, as well as let Gerald join more of the offense and increase the number and power of long shots. These are all necessary adjustments to break the intensive defense.

But Xiao Ming ignored one thing. Manchester United's two midfielders are those who are extremely evil in the long passes. Needless to say, Beckham, in terms of mastering and accuracy of long pass timing, there are probably few active players who can compare with him. Perron is also a master of rhythm control and long passes to instigate attacks. If Leiden East's offense is stopped by the opponent at the front of the penalty area, the opponent's next long pass counterattack will be very threatened.

In the first half, Manchester United rarely created opportunities through such counterattacks, but this was Ferguson's intention to remind him, because both full-backs of Leiden East had a fast return to defense. However, after Leiden East increased the number of assists from full-backs in the second half, Manchester United's counterattack gave Leiden East a fatal blow.

After Bellon intercepted the ball, he handed it to Beckham. Beckham made a timely long pass and found Betty in the frontcourt. The young England center grabbed Deselli's head, who was slow in the pace, and the ball fell to Giggs' feet. The Welsh winger quickly broke forward and suddenly passed the ball to the right side without attracting enough defensive attention. Solskjaer, who had been overlooked by Leiden Oriental players, inserted it from the right and received Giggs' pass, and then calmly pushed the ball against Yasquelenen, who was attacking without defense. The ball flew into Leiden Oriental's goal for the second time.

One step further and one step further, this feeling made Xiao Ming a little powerless. Every change of his step fell into Ferguson's calculations. Although the news that Ferguson was about to retire for a year or two had been spreading, the old Scottish man was really not old yet, and his calculations and regulation were still so so precise and targeted.

Xiao Ming didn't want to admit his failure. He replaced Ronaldo with Klose, then replaced Deselli with Pirlo and began to attack his opponent. Klose can increase the impact in the penalty area, while Pirlo can sit in the backcourt and use his broad vision to find Manchester United's flaws. No matter how dense the defense is, there will always be a defensive center of gravity. When the defensive center of gravity is constantly shifted, there will definitely be some gaps, and these gaps are opportunities that Leiden Oriental can take advantage of.

Leiden Oriental is indeed very slow in style, but Xiao Ming's reaction in the game is definitely not slow. In fact, if Ferguson had not calculated the next few steps and Xiao Ming's next reaction, there would have been no situation in the previous game where every step was suppressed by Ferguson.

After these two young players came on the court, Leiden East did make a big difference. Klose's impact in the penalty area was quite outstanding. When Stam was specifically dealing with Fanny, Sylvester could not stop Klose's impact in the penalty area at all, and Leiden East's crosses from both wings also had more goals and choices. After Pirlo came on the court, his timely transfer and dispatch also allowed Manchester United's defense line to move back and forth to deal with Leiden East's attack. During the transfer process, Manchester United's defense line no longer seemed so strong, without any flaws.

Xiao Ming's two substitutions are very targeted. Unfortunately, Manchester United's tenacity and Ferguson's response are still so outstanding. Ferguson replaced the goal-winning hero Solskjaer with defensive midfielder Bart, strengthening the defense at the front of the penalty area and close pressing against Pirlo, reducing his goal accuracy, and there is not much time left in the game.

In the 73rd minute, Leiden East's offense finally achieved results. Pirlo's transfer ball fell accurately to Figo. A beautiful cross from Figo created an opportunity for Klose in the penalty area. The German was not greedy for me, but headed the ball to the better position of Fanny. Fanny's quick shot and scored a point, which made Stam not have time to defend.

But in the remaining time, Ferguson made the defense to the extreme. The young high central defender Brown came on the field to replace Giggs, and Keane Jr. replaced Beatty to increase the speed of counterattack. After a long battle, Leiden East had to accept the bitter fruit of failure and lost to Manchester United one-two away, with the unbeaten record frozen in Game 51.

Xiao Ming was still a little convinced about this result. Indeed, Jiang is so hot. Ferguson's targeted arrangement in this game is a model. He defeated the previously arrogant Leiden East in Keane's absence. In Xiao Ming's view, the end of the unbeaten record seems to be a good thing. At least in the first few rounds of the league, it is much better than losing key games in the last few rounds of the league.
