Chapter 333
The two commentators were right.
After the second half began.
The two teams continued to attack.
They opened up and attacked with real swords and guns!
Neither Li nor Ferguson were coaches who started out playing defensive counterattacks.
They might adopt defensive counterattacks when the team was weak.
But as long as the opponent was about the same strength as themselves, or weaker than themselves, these two people were definitely the two most capable of showing off among all the coaches in the Premier League!
Especially for Ferguson.
He had played against Li Shiguang more than once or twice, and his view of the Leeds United under Li Shiguang had changed from a little disdainful in the initial contempt to the current great importance.
Since last season.
Every time Ferguson played against Li Shiguang, he would think about many tactical changes, and tried to defeat Li Shiguang in various ways.
But the facts told him that the results were minimal.
In that case, why think so much?
It is better to put aside all the fantasies and play against Leeds United directly. Anyway, in terms of player strength, Manchester United is not inferior to Leeds United.
And judging from the 45 minutes of the first half, the effect is not bad.
At least after returning to the locker room, the players are still discussing enthusiastically what aspects should be improved in order to knock on Leeds United's goal in the second half!
Just now in the locker room, Ferguson simply told the back line to pay more attention, and then he did not discuss the defense problem, but asked his disciples to continue to strengthen the offense in the second half! Especially for the three players on the front line, Ferguson kept instilling the belief of attack in them, making them believe that Manchester United's firepower is definitely stronger than Leeds United!
Ferguson's words greatly boosted Manchester United's morale.
Especially the young C Ronaldo and Rooney.
At the beginning of the second half, the two relied on active running and strong personal strength to help Manchester United gradually gain the upper hand.
In the 49th minute, Rooney's long shot from the outside helped Manchester United get a corner kick.
After Scholes sent a corner kick, Carrick jumped high in front of the goal. Just when everyone thought he was going to head the ball, he feinted after Kompany rushed over and gave the ball to his teammate at the back.
However, Berbatov behind him did not react at the first time, but subconsciously used his foot to cushion the ball towards the goal, which was confiscated by Neuer.
Three minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback.
It was originally an offensive opportunity for Leeds United, but unfortunately Kaka, who was dribbling the ball, was double-teamed by Carrick and Vidic in front of the Manchester United penalty area. In the end, Vidic poked the ball out from under Kaka's feet and it fell to Berbatov's feet who was returning to defense.
Manchester United launched a quick counterattack on the spot!
Since Leeds United switched from offense to defense, the defensive players did not arrive at the first time.
At the same time, the rapid forward movement of Ronaldo, Rooney and Scholes also made Cannavaro and Kompany on the defensive line dare not rush to grab the ball rashly. They could only follow Berbatov's continuous retreat and wait for their teammates to come back to fill the position.
Although Berbatov's style of play is elegant, Ferguson has also complained about his laziness.
But he is not a fool. It is impossible for him to keep dribbling the ball and wait for Leeds United players to return to defense.
So just after running through the center circle, Berbatov passed the ball to Ronaldo who was waiting for him on the wing.
As soon as Ronaldo got the ball, he immediately became the focus of Leeds United's defense.
During the halftime break, Li Shiguang emphasized the need to keep a close eye on Ronaldo, so Cannavaro did not hesitate at all and immediately rushed towards Ronaldo. At the same time, Alonso and Alves, who had retreated to their own half, also immediately chased Ronaldo.
Faced with this situation of wolves in front and tigers behind.
Ronaldo did not pass the ball out immediately, but took the ball to the bottom line. This action made several Leeds United players feel a little relieved.
Everyone was in tacit understanding.
Cannavaro blocked the front and Alonso blocked the inside. Neither of them rushed to steal the ball, but only prevented Ronaldo from easily passing or cutting inside.
The real steal was given to Alves who was chasing behind Ronaldo.
Just when Alves had not caught up with him.
Facing the defense of the two, Ronaldo first flicked the ball with his left foot and pretended to cut inside.
This action attracted Alonso and Cannavaro. The two kicked at the same time, wanting to close the door, either directly poke the ball out of the sideline, or directly foul, and pass the ball! Anyway, Alves has already caught up. In their opinion, it is impossible for three people to attack at the same time and still not be able to defend Ronaldo alone.
But Ronaldo is Ronaldo after all. He just turned 22, and his footwork is as good as any other player in the world!The face of time.
Ronaldo used his right foot to lightly touch the football that had just been pushed to the right front of his body, and then pushed the ball between Cannavaro and Alonso!
Then he shrank back, avoided Alonso who collided with him, and rushed out directly from behind Alonso.
On the Leeds United side.
Cannavaro, Alonso, and Alves who returned to defense at high speed, collided heavily with each other!
"Cristiano Ronaldo! He broke through the Leeds United defense with a juggling pass! This is a great opportunity!"
At this time.
All the Leeds United players on the field were looking at Ronaldo, completely ignoring the other offensive players of Manchester United!
Kompany immediately came to defend after Ronaldo completed the breakthrough. Based on his judgment of Ronaldo, the Portuguese player probably chose to shoot after bringing the ball into the penalty area.
But before Kompany arrived.
Ronaldo, who had just caught up with the ball, did not choose to dribble into the penalty area, but directly kicked the ball with his left foot to the back of the Leeds United penalty area.
Rooney, who was unguarded, was already in place!
Neuer had already abandoned the goal while the ball was still flying in the air. He knew that if Rooney adjusted his shooting posture after taking the ball, Leeds United would definitely be in danger.
But to the surprise of Neuer, who had already fallen to the ground to expand his defensive area, Rooney, who received the ball, did not shoot directly.
Instead, he pushed the ball forward with his right foot, and after completely avoiding Neuer's attack, he passed the ball again and passed it to the front of Leeds United's goal.
When Neuer on the ground turned his head to look.
Berbatov was already standing in front of the goal and made a shooting motion!
The next second.
The whole Old Trafford applauded, accompanied by thunderous applause and cheers.
The football slammed into the unguarded gate of Leeds United!
1:0!!
Leeds United wasted too many chances in the first half.
After the start of the second half, Manchester United scored the first goal!!
