Chapter 845 Don't Worry (Two in One)
April 3, Old Trafford.
Fei Sun and Christine sat in the family-only stand in the southwest corner of the stadium, surrounded by bright red, but it was not Manchester United red, but Chinese red. These were Chinese fans who came from afar.
As early as the end of last year, Chinese fans contacted Sun Fei through overseas fans and applied for a seat at Manchester United. The family stand not only provides seats for the family members of the players, but also provides relevant sightseeing groups.
Li Hao and Xu Banmeng, who organized foreign student fans in Germany to go to the Veltins Arena to cheer for Sun Wu, also came. They got married at the end of last year and came to Old Trafford on their wedding leave.
In the Sina live broadcast room, Zhan Jun also found this group of Chinese fans.
"There are a lot of things to watch today." Zhan Jun was in high spirits, "Not only did Ronaldo return to Old Trafford for the first time in six years, but also Pogba, who was kicked out by Sun Wu according to the British media, tried to take revenge. , and we saw... the five-star red flag flying in the stands."
"Best Is Best!" Zhang Lu said with a smile: "I am familiar with this slogan...it appeared in the Ruhr Derby back then."
"Is it the season when Schalke won the 04 league and the Champions League double?"
"Yes, yes, Sun Wu made two shots and one pass. At the last moment, he killed the Hornets. Dortmund was sent off five people including Klopp. Schalke 04 was also sent off two people. That game is called history. The most classic Ruhr derby... Of course, this is the result of the Schalke 04 fans' selection."
Zhang Lu chuckled a few times, "After the Ruhr Derby, Dortmund, who occupied the top spot, lost consecutive games, while Schalke 04 reached the top in one fell swoop."
"Then let's see if this slogan can make Sun Wu perform better today... Players from both sides have already entered the field."
"Cristiano won the applause of the fans... haha, Pogba got boos."
At the moment, Pogba is on fire. A month ago, Sun Wu’s message on his Twitter became a hot topic on the Internet. Yesterday, Sun Wu ignored him. Just now, in the player tunnel, Sun Wu still didn’t see him. look like...
Uh, in fact, Sun Wu really didn't ignore him on purpose just now, just now Sun Wu was observing Zidane!
Zidane already sensed that something was wrong. The wide-eyed and best midfielder of the previous century looked at Sun Wu suspiciously. Doesn’t this guy have a girlfriend?
Uh, Sun Wu is looking at Zidane's pants...
This guy's pants can be called together with Love's booger and Wenger's zipper.
I don't know if I can see the color of Qi Zu's underwear today...
"A classic matchup with a lot to watch." Mortensen coughed twice and put on a serious expression in the commentary booth, "Steve, I hope you will explain with a fair attitude today."
"Hahahaha..." McMulahman laughed hard.
Steve McMulraman, former England international, is one of England's most successful stars abroad.
He made his debut in Liverpool and entered the Premier League's best team for four consecutive years. After that, he went to the Bernabéu Stadium. In the 2000 Champions League final, McMaraman's double-kick volley was impressive. Before Zidane came, he was always a member of Real Madrid. The most important player in the frontcourt to organize the attack.
After that, McMulahman returned to the Premier League to join Manchester City, and retired after two seasons.
In other words, the team that McMaraman played for... Manchester City and Manchester United are rivals in the same city, Liverpool and Manchester United are old enemies, Real Madrid and Manchester United are enemies today.
Today Sky Sports is not very friendly to Manchester United.
"Real Madrid started today without any surprises, goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defense Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, midfielders Casemiro, Modric and Borg Ba, in front are the trident Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema...Steve, what do you think of Zidane's starting line-up?"
"It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but it's really hard to say whether Casemiro can contain Best." McMulman commented: "Of course, Real Madrid is playing away and Zidane wants to score away goals. "
"Manchester United's defense is really not particularly good, and it is not difficult for Real Madrid to score away goals." Mortenson said with a smile: "The key is how many goals Manchester United can score and how many goals they can score. yes……"
"Best!" McMulahman laughed and nodded again and again, "At Liverpool, I had Redknapp by my side. Although he retired early due to injuries, his talent is amazing. There's Figo, Zidane, Redondo, but Best is as good as them...even compared to Zidane."
"Let's look at Manchester United's starting lineup, goalkeeper De Gea, defense Coleman, Rojo, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, midfielder Schneiderlin, Best, Fletcher, striker is Griezmann, Thomas Müller and Klose... it was a surprise."
"It's really surprising that Pochettino chose Klose instead of Lukaku, and Fletcher hasn't played much this season." McMaraman said with a frown: "It's hard to see what Pochettino wants to do." , Fletcher may be to strengthen the defense, but Klose..."
"Look at what Manchester United are trying to do... the whistle blew and Real Madrid kicked off first."
Zidane went to observe Sun Wu's position for the first time. He did not advance to shorten the distance with Griezmann, but he did not retreat either. The standard central midfielder position.
After the kick-off, Modric, who was in control of the ball, did not try his luck with a long pass, but passed the ball back to Varane.
After passing the ball, Modric looked back and was a little surprised that Manchester United did not push forward, let alone Griezmann and Thomas Muller, even Klose stood far away.
After a few passes from the backcourt, Marcelo took the ball forward on the left, and Thomas Muller immediately pushed forward.
"Marcelo... Pogba... beautiful heels!"
Facing Marcelo's through ball, Pogba didn't look at the ball and directly knocked his heel to Ronaldo behind him, Schneiderlin made an empty shot.
But Fletcher immediately made up for it, first hit his shoulder, then squeezed Ronaldo to the side with his hands and feet, and Coleman took the opportunity to poke the ball away.
Manchester United placed a heavy force in the midfield... Zidane immediately saw the key point. The three forwards recovered relatively deep, and Coleman was also decisive in breaking the ball forward. Most importantly, the poked ball fell to the ground. At the feet of Rojo, the Argentine defender immediately sent the ball to the feet of Griezmann on the other side.
"Rojo...Griezmann...beautiful heels, are you talking about Pogba?" Zhan Jun couldn't help laughing, "Sun Wu took the ball... oh, pass... Klose!"
"Simple and clear pass-run coordination!" Zhang Lu couldn't help but praised: "It's very tacit!"
Griezmann hit Sun Wu with his heel, and the latter gave it to Klose without waiting for Casemiro to stick it up.
Although the German center is old, he has not lost his footwork at all. After making a fake turn and flicking lightly, Sun Wu, who bypassed Casemiro, inserted the ball at high speed, and Casemiro happened to It was blocked by Klose.
Long-term extra training allowed Sun Wu to control the ball very strongly in high-speed dribbling. Varane couldn't find a chance to stretch his foot to steal the ball. He also knew that the guy in front of him was a movie star...but Sun Wu found the opportunity to send a diagonal shot. Blocking the ball, Griezmann, who threw off Carvajal, suddenly appeared behind Ramos.
"It's a chance!" Mortensen exclaimed. "Manchester United are moving very fast...Griezmann!"
Possibly one of the best centre-backs available today, Jonathan Griezmann locks in to prevent Griezmann from cutting inside, then speeds up to hold the inside and let the French striker lose angle.
Griezmann felt a little regretful. He knew that he would cut the ball in the first step... He gritted his teeth, braked suddenly, accelerated again, and sent a pass close to the ground while Ramos accelerated to catch up.
"Griezmann... out of angle... the cross... oops, empty back!"
"Klose... didn't even enter!"
"That's San Igor Casillas!" McMulraman exclaimed. "Look at that quick move just to confiscate the ball!"
Klose smacked his lips. He didn't have any Real Madrid defenders around him, but this time the push shot actually missed... Casillas moved too fast and confiscated the ball with a side throw.
"Klose's push was too steady." Zhan Jun commented: "The half-empty goal was pushed in the middle, which happened to be caught by Casillas."
"However, Manchester United played really well in this wave of offense. Most of them played the ball with one kick, with concise and clear passes, and the advancement speed was very fast."
"Pochettino used Klose instead of Lukaku, and used Griezmann and Thomas Muller instead of the lightning-fast Mane. This factor should be taken into account."
"This set of tactics requires a high degree of tacit understanding."
Zidane on the sidelines was scratching his head. He saw the crux of the problem. Just now, Sun Wu's pass from the outside of his foot and the oblique ball facing Varane were the key to Manchester United's attack.
It's very simple to solve this problem. Casemiro can't contain Sun Wu's performance, so Modric can retreat a little bit to help, but in this way, the offense in the frontcourt will be greatly affected.
In the 9th minute, Manchester United came again, this time Schneiderlin intercepted the ball from the retreating Benzema, Fletcher sent a direct pass, and Sun Wu chose to leak the ball this time.
Casemiro, who found out that he was cheated, did not let Sun Wu go around this time. He secretly grabbed Sun Wu's jersey, and then quickly pasted it.
But this time Klose's horizontal knock found Griezmann. The French did not try to break through Carvajal, but sent a diagonal pass.
"Griezmann... crossed?"
"Ooooh, Thomas Muller!"
"Header... the crossbar! The crossbar saved Real Madrid!"
The erratic Thomas Muller unknowingly threw off Marcelo, rushed all the way into the penalty area, and jumped directly behind Varane to the top!
"boom!"
Casillas, who had already given up, hugged the ball that bounced off the crossbar tightly in his arms, and only roared at Marcelo a few minutes later.
"Director Zhang, did you find out, not to mention Klose and Thomas Muller, the other two Griezmann and Sun Wu did not choose to break through in these two attacks." Zhan Jun laughed: " Although Sun Wu is extraordinary..."
"No, no, Sun Wu's frontal breakthrough ability is indeed relatively weak, but it doesn't mean that he won't be able to pass others. In fact, his success rate of passing others is not low. This is very important for him to choose the timing of passing others." Zhang Lu commented Said: "These two times Griezmann and Sun Wu have not surpassed others, but quickly moved the ball, always pushing the ball forward, fast, and the success rate is quite high."
"This should be a very mature routine for Manchester United."
Sun Wu smacked his lips, frankly twice, Real Madrid is really lucky, so they won't get in!
However, Manchester United's tactics have also played an effect. Modric obviously retreated to help. This Croatian midfielder seems to be a small player, but he actually has a good defense. In a sense, Modric is better than Sun Wu More versatile.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Modric's running coverage ability and sense of position in front of the penalty area, Real Madrid's overall defensive ability will drop by half a grade.
Modric's scrambling ability is not very strong, mainly relying on his sense of position, timing of interception and anti-collision ability.
However, let Modric participate in the offense at a deep level, it is better to let him strengthen Real Madrid's defense.
Sun Wu was very afraid of Modric's screaming long-range shot from outside the penalty area. He only needed a lateral acceleration to shake a little angle, and his right foot could pull out a slightly arc-shaped long-range shot.
"Be careful of his long pass from the outside of the instep." Sun Wu pulled Fletcher and whispered.
Modric's outer instep can be called a unique stunt. Although Sun Wu can imitate it, the difference in effect is obviously a bit big. This is Modric's biggest offensive weapon when he retreats. However, in this game, Manchester United will be very cautious in pressing high. .
After Modric's position retreated, Sun Wu also retreated in the same position. The situation on the court gradually calmed down. Ronaldo's breakthroughs were frequently blocked, and both long-range shots from the outside missed the target. Bell was even worse. With relatively weak skills, he frequently lost the ball, and Manchester United did not give him any room to accelerate in the backcourt.
In this case, Pogba became the protagonist.
In the 30th minute, Pogba and the forward Marcelo played a horizontal two-for-one cooperation, then swayed Fletcher away, and shot a long-range shot 28 meters from the goal.
"Pogba shot from a long distance... De Gea is in a good position. This is Real Madrid's first shot on target today. It's not a big threat."
In the 36th minute, under the siege of Schneiderlin and Thomas Müller, Pogba made a fancy move. His feet stepped left and right like butterflies, and he broke out in the opposite direction. , Then hit the wall with the retreating Benzema, and made a strong low shot at the top of the arc.
Both Schneiderlin and Fletcher turned their heads to look at Sun Wu, and the latter shook his head slightly, although it was a bit dangerous, it was not yet time.
The ball barely touched the far post and rolled out of the bottom line. The shot was too fast, and De Gea didn't make a save.
Pogba, who was holding his head in regret, didn't see it. Gareth Bale, who ran out of space on the right, spread his hands and complained, while Ronaldo, who was already unguarded on the left, was jumping...
Then Schneiderlin stepped up his defense against Pogba. Although Pogba passed his national teammates several times, Fletcher and Sun Wu made up in time, and Pogba never got any good chances.
In stoppage time in the first half, it was Ronaldo who showed his unparalleled jumping ability. Modric took a corner kick and Ronaldo jumped high, so he jumped half a head higher than Rojo.
Although De Gea had given up, Ronaldo's header hit the crossbar as did Thomas Muller.
In the end, the first half ended in a 0-0 dull game.
The fans of both sides in the stands were a bit depressed, except for the head and the tail, they were basically dozing off in the middle...
"It's surprising. Both sides have world-class attackers, but they didn't show too many wonderful shots in the 45 minutes of the first half." Zhan Jun shook his head and said: "After the opening, Manchester United's tacit movement in the frontcourt was very difficult. There was a threat, but it was never seen again after Modric dropped back."
"Real Madrid's organization is a bit rigid. Although Pogba has two good shots, he has not revitalized the frontcourt. Without Modric, Real Madrid's organization has stagnated."
Sun Wu looked up, the fans in the stands were exhausted, and the flags were all hanging down.
Don't worry, the second half is the climax!
