222 Survival in the Cracks

"Rooney headed the ball! Manchester United won another goal! Monaco was a little beaten so hard that he couldn't find the North!

Both Manchester United's goals came from opportunities for continuous attacks. Although Monaco was passive, he was able to deal with the first wave of attacks head-on defense. However, whenever they resolved a wave of danger, Manchester United's offensive would immediately come to the city. Monaco, whose slow adjustment pace was finally difficult to resist the Red Devils' continuous offensive!

The score became 2:0, and the situation was extremely beneficial to Manchester United!”

Ferguson stood up and clapped and smiled calmly, as if everything was under control.

At this point, Monaco has not really brought them a terrifying threat to the Red Devils.

Relying on top defense and good rhythm impact, Red Devils and Manchester United have no reason to be afraid of Monaco.

The focus of the scene seemed to have become Situ Yunbing. The Red Devils fans wanted to see how the young coach would react under such a disadvantage, while the Monaco fans hoped that Situ Yunbing could turn the situation around through on-the-spot dispatch.

Situ Yunbing had a young and stubborn look, and he was unwilling to give in and was unwilling to bow his head, but he still chose to show the team the whole army retreating.

After losing two goals, Monaco was basically out of the way in the first half!

The team itself has not yet established a foothold in the game, and it is difficult for the rest of the first half to support the team's tactical changes in phases. Moreover, this is at Old Trafford. If this is not adjusted, what else can Monaco do?

Are you planning to start a sudden attack?

Why?

If you can't even do a good job in offense and defense conversion, how can you threaten your opponent?

Once the offense is strengthened, the risk of losing the ball will inevitably increase. Once the opponent scores another goal in the first half, Monaco will collapse!

The collapse without any suspense, no one dares to guarantee that he can turn the tide under such circumstances!

Let's talk about the first half first.

Monaco's absolute trust in Situ Yunbing made them firmly implement Situ Yunbing's tactical adjustments without any concern at this moment.

After shrinking the defense line, Monaco's formation became 451. This was a process of training and competitions before today, and they had been running in many times during training and competitions, so the adjustments did not lead to an out-of-synchronization.

Manchester United's two-goal lead is still attacking, but Monaco further compressed the defense line, which first of all, greatly reduced their right-hand offensive threat. Gary Neville's own offensive ability is also extremely limited. If it weren't for the traditional style of play of the Red Devils, and Neville is an old Red Devil who has been under Ferguson for more than ten years, his high understanding of tactics and rich game experience has made him always able to appear in the right area at the right time.

If Manchester United only plays on the left and middle lanes, the offensive threat will be weakened to a certain extent.

But although Monaco has improved its defense and improved its offensive and defensive conversion, because the offense and starting position are too low, Manchester United's defense has enough time to adjust. Monaco's sporadic counterattacks either have a little bit of last chance or die halfway.

Manchester United fans are not overjoyed. In their opinion, they are happy to win a big gift package.

As for Monaco's elimination of Real Madrid, it is even more worth mentioning in their eyes.

What role has Real Madrid played in the European territory in the past few years?

An insignificant role.

However, Manchester United is the Champions League semi-finals in three consecutive years, one of which is the semi-finals, one champion and one runner-up.

Since Real Madrid took Beckham away, Manchester United fans have not had much favorable feelings for Real Madrid. This has been a resentment between Ronaldo and Real Madrid until it became a reality last summer, which made this feeling of disgust reach its peak.

So they selectively ignored Monaco's objective strength to eliminate Real Madrid.

It is just to treat Monaco as a strong Ligue 1 team. As for the status of the strong Ligue 1 team in the Champions League, it is nothing more than to accompany the prince to study.

To be fair, Monaco's performance in the first half was not a disaster, but it reflected the gap with the Red Devils.

When the Red Devils began to strengthen their defense at the end of the first half, Monaco did not make a big move. It was not wise to do this at this time, especially in terms of counterattack speed, the Red Devils were not slow.

Their midfielder's offense and defense conversion efficiency is much higher than that of Monaco, and Scholes and Carrick are the guarantee.

The whistle at the end of the first half finally rang, and even Monaco players might feel that the first half was a torment.

Situ Yunbing walked from the sidelines to the player passage in the corner of the court with a calm expression. The Red Devils fans in nearby stands harassed him in various ways. Some cheered, some sarcasticized him with applause, and some even made crying moves...

Situ Yunbing suddenly felt that the road was a bit long, and in addition to admiring Ferguson's move to change the stadium design, he also felt a little annoying.

However, this "long" road gave him more time to think.

In terms of technical performance, Monaco's performance did not make any mistakes, but it was not particularly good, but it only reached the passing level.

This is already very good. I was not scared by the Red Devils, but the discomfort brought by the high-intensity rhythm shock reduced the performance of the technical performance.

If you want to improve Monaco's performance in Old Trafford, there are only three factors: your technical performance exceeds your opponent, control the rhythm of the game, and unexpectedly perform your tactical cooperation!

In fact, Situ Yunbing's plan before the game today is to defend and counterattack first. As long as Monaco gains a foothold, it will intermittently bring the Red Devils the impact of counterattack and oppression as if they were fighting against Real Madrid!

But in the context of Monaco's rhythm being completely out of control, this tactical plan can be thrown into the trash can.

Moreover, the obvious disadvantage made Situ Yunbing stretched his adjustments.

It is impossible to reverse the opponent in the technical link, and it is also a luxury to dominate the rhythm of the game.

Only the tactical cooperation level can be thought of.

He also made a mistake today, that is, his prediction of the rhythm of the game was wrong.

If he could have expected the Red Devils' offensive impact to be so fierce, then he would definitely let Monaco start defending from the first minute of the game to play extreme defense!

If the offensive and defensive investment is reflected in a quantitative way, the comprehensive full score is 10, then the defensive investment of playing extreme defense is 9, the offensive is 1, and the general defensive counterattack is almost 7 and 3. Monaco opened the game today at 7 and 3. After conceding one goal, it became 8 and 2. If you concede the second goal, it is 9 and 1. But the situation is completely different.

The effect of playing extreme defense against the game and falling behind the game will inevitably be different. The situation and the team's psychology will be too big.

After returning to the locker room, Situ Yunbing made adjustments in a hurry. Before that, he first boosted the team's morale and avoided making the players overly pessimistic!

The two teams changed sides and fought again in the second half.

Ferguson was still sitting in the coach's seat and did not come to the sidelines. Situ Yunbing stood alone in the visiting coach's command area to supervise the battle.

Even though the situation was not good, Situ Yunbing did not show any sadness. He knew that his expression would affect the team and he would not bring negative psychological pressure to the players.

Monaco still played defensive counterattack in the second half, but it was slightly more offensive inclination than the end of the first half, which was to rise from 9 and 1 to 8 and 2.

Unlike the first half, Monaco's adjustment in the second half clearly appeared on the front line.

Gareth Bale is on the left and Suarez is on the right. Both forwards are pulling the side, and there is no one in the center!

In this way, Monaco is forcing Manchester United to attack frequently from the middle, but at the same time, Monaco shows obvious signs of tightening in the middle.

Manchester United may have led two goals in the second half, so their crazy momentum has declined, but they pay more attention to the control of the ball.

In the 51st minute of the game, when Evra assisted from the left to cooperate with Nani, she made a cross from the bottom, and the football flew to the front of the goal and was cleared by Benatia.

Perez controlled the ball in the right side of the backcourt and quickly knocked the ball back without waiting for Scholes to press. Monaco reduced his tendency to attack from the midfield, but passed the ball back to the back line as soon as possible and launched the attack from the back line!

Because if the midfielder is not clear about the situation behind him, the longer the ball is, the more likely it is to lose the ball. Monaco lost the first goal in the first half, and learned a lesson.

Modesto took the lead two steps and directly sent out a long diagonal pass.

The football rolled quickly to the right side of the road that had just passed the midfield.

Suarez stopped the ball here and turned around and quickly launched a fast attack.

At this time, we can see signs of Manchester United's defense line not daring to leave the middle lane easily. Situ Yunbing's adjustment is to suppress Manchester United's wing attack first.

Although Fletcher's offensive strength was greatly weakened in the second half, he did not dare to quickly assist the sideline from the middle, because once he left, Gareth Bale could quickly cut in and kill to the middle.

The same is true for the defender. Whether it is Vidic or Ferdinand, they may be caught by the opponent in the middle after leaving the middle.

In this case, they can only actively retreat to ensure the safety of the area in front of the door.

Suarez dribbled unimpededly and came to the side outside the penalty area. After he made signs of incisiveness, Fletcher came to intercept him. At this time, he was able to form a joint defense with Vidic, so he let go of his worries.

Before entering the penalty area, Suarez knocked the ball diagonally back to the right in front of the penalty area, and quickly cut inside after getting the ball.

Witsel followed up and came up to meet the ball and gave a pass!

This ball was not for Suarez, but for Gareth Bale!

Gareth Bale cut from the left and broke into the left hinterland of the penalty area. When Witsel's pick teleport came, he jumped and headed to attack. Ferdinand returned to defense and blocked it one step slower, or he didn't expect Gareth Bale to be so fast!

Van der Sar blocked the near corner of the goal steadily. When Gareth Bale's header flew towards the upper left corner of the goal, Van der Sar took off and easily took the ball out of the air.

There is no danger!

Situ Yunbing didn't care about the result, nodding on the sidelines while applauding the team. This is a positive phenomenon. Monaco can at least form a goal in Manchester United's penalty area!

This means that his adjustment is still very effective!
Chapter completed!
