Chapter 277 The Devil's Home
"Ronaldinho controls the ball, Panasinacos's players did not come up to defend him. He can control the ball calmly and turn around, then look up and observe...he passes the ball!"
The football was passed by Ronaldinho to his midfielder Keane. The Irish dribbled the ball forward, but soon encountered Panathinaikos' defense. Facing the opponent's defense, Keane did not stick the ball, giving the opponent a chance to get involved, but passed the football directly with one kick.
This time his pass target is Ronaldo.
After Ronaldo received the ball on the wing, he used his dribbling skills and advanced quickly along the wing.
In the last league game against Charlton, he started and played for 90 minutes for the first time, which played the most important role in his recovery.
He is now full of confidence, dares to raid the ball, and is not afraid to have physical contact or confront defensive players.
Panasinaikos' midfielder Alyosha Asanovic came up to defend, but as an offensive player, his defense was just a show of his own, or it would be a foul.
Ronaldo cleverly pushed away the football, and at the same time his body twisted and avoided Asanovic's body rushing up, breaking through Asanovic's defense very beautifully!
The cheers of Manchester United fans rang in the stands for a while.
One of the ways home court advantages is that when your team has players perform well, you must give your applause and cheer without hesitation. While encouraging your players, you can also create psychological pressure on the opponent's players.
Of course, not all home team players can get their unreserved support...
After Ronaldo shook away Alyosha Asanovic, he did not continue to sprint because not far ahead, he was the left of Panasinaikos. Henriksen, who stuck his position. Ronaldo would probably have a dead end to force a breakthrough.
So he just dodged Asanovic's defense and passed the ball to Vanny who came up to pick him up.
Van Nie was passing the ball to Drogba in the diagonal front.
Drogba received the ball with his back to the attack. Instead of turning around, he directly sent the ball to the right. With a diagonal pass, the ball flew to the empty space behind Panasinaikos's defense line.
At the same time, Ronaldo rushed over Henriksen!
"He got the ball!"
Just as Drogba passed the ball, Van Persie had already rushed into the penalty area. He penetrated the diagonally and did not stop in front of the goal, but rushed directly to the front point.
And what about Drogba? After passing the ball, he turned around and ran into the penalty area. He also ran a diagonal line, but he ran to the back point, which happened to cross with Van Persie's running position.
The two people's running position was practiced repeatedly during training, so they did not hesitate. Their goal was to pull away the Panasinaikos defender in the middle of the penalty area and pull it away so as to create opportunities for their teammates...
Who are you creating opportunities for?
After passing the football to Drogba, Van Nie moved to the middle, but he did not go in immediately, but paused outside the penalty area to avoid becoming the most eye-catching target. After both Van Persie and Drogba rushed into the penalty area, a huge hole was pulled out of the defense in front of him.
At the same time, Ronaldo, who received the pass from Drogba, also successfully broke through. He looked up and then made a cross when Henriksen returned to intercept him!
The football was neither to Van Persie at the front point nor to Drogba who was waiting to encircle at the back point. Instead, it drew an arc and fell to the middle of the goal!
Fanny started and rushed in the moment Ronaldo passed the ball. He rushed to the scheduled location with the football, and then without hesitation, he directly raised his foot and shot!
"Rud——"
Fanny's toe poked the football, and the football changed its line and shot towards the goal!
Because the distance was too close and Fanny's shot was very sudden, even though Panasinaikos' goalkeeper responded, he was still half a beat late!
"—Rudel!!!Rudel!!! Manchester United took the lead in the twelve minutes of the game! They had a wonderful start!"
All Manchester United fans stood up from their seats, raised their arms high, and for a moment, the entire stadium had nothing but red. They shouted: "Manchester United!!!"
Cheers are coming to the sky!
Ferguson, off the court, raised his arms and waved hard. He was not only happy that the team was leading, but also happy that his tactical strategy was effective.
This goal is the result of him letting all three strikers into the penalty area. If it was still like before, there was only one Drogba in the penalty area, and Van Nicht and Van Persie were more active on the wing, then there would be no such goal anyway. Because Drogba had to fight with the opponent's central defender in front of the goal. Although Drogba was not afraid of such a hand-to-hand combat, there was a better way to score. Who would choose such a stupid way to attack?
"Manchester United has taken a goal lead! They have taken a solid step towards the European game at their home court!"
"Beautiful! Beautiful offensive cooperation! Starting from Ronaldinho's pass, Keane, Ronaldo, Van Nie and Drogba have all received the ball. Although Van Persie did not catch the ball, his diagonal running was crucial! He attracted the attention of Panathinaikos defenders... and Drogba's diagonal running in reverse, Panathinaikos' goal was instantly empty! What a wonderful team to cooperate with the goal!"
This is indeed a wonderful team to score a goal, and every Manchester United player involved in the offense flocked to one place and hugged each other.
First, Drogba intercepted Vanny who wanted to go to the corner flag to celebrate the goal and hugged him in the waist. Then Van Persie rushed up and hugged them both, then like a magnet, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Giggs, Ferdinand... These people rushed up and surrounded them layer by layer.
They celebrated their best near Panathinaikos' penalty area, and the frustrated Panathinaikos players became their best background.
"Manchester United is full of momentum in its home court-"
The commentator is right. No matter what opponent Manchester United encounters at home, they always have a fearless aura. Because they know that the fans of this stadium will support them at all costs and cause trouble for their opponents, which will bring them endless confidence.
Such a terrifying home atmosphere has caused trouble for many away teams. This is the first time Panathinaikos has been to Old Trafford Stadium. Before coming, although they knew that Old Trafford Stadium was known as the devil's home court, they did not know what Old Trafford Stadium looked like. They might feel that it was no different from other away games.
No matter how terrifying this place is, can it be famous for the Camp Nou Stadium and the Bernabeu Stadium?
Now they know how outrageous they were wrong before!
It's much more terrifying than Camp Nou and Bernabeu!
Every fan wearing a red Manchester United jersey seems to never know how tired they are. Their voices do not need to rest. They can always stimulate the nerves of Panasinaikos players in different ways. It would be fine if Panasinaikos players perform poorly. As long as there are players who perform well, they will inevitably be ruthless and harsh booing, covering the sky and making people feel "under the enemy from all sides and ambushing the whole world".
Fighting in such an environment really makes them very uncomfortable with the players of Panasinaikos.
Many people are simply unable to perform at their normal level.
Before Van Nie scored, although Panasinaikos was a little slow to warm up, their head coach still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. He felt that this was normal. His team was not the kind of team that could get into the state at will. What's more... this was the away game, as long as you don't lose the ball. Then slowly find the state, and wait until you get into the state, and then strive for the goal.
The task he gave to the team was to defend first.
As long as you don’t lose the ball, everything will be there!
So when Fanny scored, he jumped out of his seat in shock, which was a normal performance...
He wanted to scold his mother, but he didn't know who to scold.
Manchester United's offense is indeed very exciting. Perhaps ordinary fans can't see anything for a while, but he is very clear. This goal has been repeatedly trained... Every pass and run by each player is very particular, designed, and it is definitely not a flash of inspiration from several superstars. In Real Madrid, known as the Galaxy Battleship, it may be able to play that kind of casual cooperation, but now this Manchester United, which has added more than a dozen newcomers, is impossible! Even though they were the Premier League champions last season and the super giants who have won the triple crown, because there are too many newcomers.
So there must be only one result, that is, Manchester United made precise deployments for Panasinaikos!
He clenched his fists!
In the past, Manchester United basically used the two forward tactics to fight fast offense and defense with two wings flying together.
Unexpectedly, Manchester United did not do this in this game, but came with three forwards. The most important thing is that each of these three forwards scored and scored, and one person had the ability to disrupt the entire defense line.
Therefore, it is unlikely to focus on defending a certain person. But if everyone deals with it, the strength on their own defense is obviously not enough.
He has a headache...
He has learned the tactical cultivation of Ferguson, an old coach who has been in the giant Manchester United for 17 years.
Just such a simple adjustment actually caused the attack to have a fatal chemical reaction, which made him feel off guard...
In his annoyance, he turned his head to look at the coaching seat on Manchester United, and Ferguson was hugging and celebrating with his assistants.
Chapter completed!
