Football King Bale

Faizulin said with some doubt: "But can we hold on until the end of the first half like this? Every time they shoot, I think they will lose the ball..."

"Have we not conceded a goal yet? They only scored one goal, which shows that our defense is successful!" Alves said with full confidence.

…

Zevnov was a little impatient when he saw everyone taking advantage of this opportunity to argue. It was not the time to talk about offense or defense, because Manchester United's corner kick was about to be taken. So he pushed Faizulin in front of him and said: "People who are staring at them, what are you doing!"

Every corner kick from Manchester United tests the psychological quality of Zenit's defensive players, because they have no idea what Manchester United's tactics are for this corner kick. They seem to have prepared dozens of different set-piece tactics to deal with them. Points, midpoints and back points are all ordinary things. The changes inside and outside the penalty area are not surprising. Manchester United's corner kick tactics seem to be the same, but they all have completely different details. The changes made Zenit's players hard to guard against.

Remember Manchester United’s corner kick at the beginning of the game? Everyone thought they were going to take a tactical kick, but it turned out to be sent directly to the goal, almost allowing Smalling to score.

This time Bell is standing next to the football again, so is this a tactical kick or a direct corner kick?

Nani quickly revealed the answer. He kicked the football to Bale next to him.

"Create offside!" Alves shouted, raising his hands and rushing forward, signaling the defense to press forward with him.

Bell did not pass the ball directly into the penalty area. He passed the football to the other end of the court with his big feet. Valencia stepped in from behind and received the ball. It was not offside!

After Valencia received the ball, he took the ball to the baseline before the defensive player came forward. He did not pass the ball directly because he was worried about Zenit's offside tactics.

The coaching staff mentioned this to them during training. If this kind of tactical corner kick is taken, be extra careful about Zenit's offside. So after receiving the ball, you don't pass the ball directly, even if there is someone else in front of the goal, because you will be offside when passing the ball. After receiving the ball, you should go down to the bottom line, let yourself approach the baseline and then pass the ball. In this way, even if a teammate is behind the opponent's entire defense line, as long as you are closer to the baseline than him, then the offense is not offside.

This time Valencia broke through and then passed in. Rooney and Berbatov formed a double ghost attack in front of the goal. It's a pity that Zevnov was highly concentrated and struck first, beating Rooney before him and hitting the football with both fists!

"Oh! What a pity,

Manchester United's attack is very threatening! Liu Jianhong said loudly with some regret.

………………

Time always flies by in this high-tempo game. When everyone thinks of looking at the time, there are only six or seven minutes left before the end of the first half.

The score is still 1:0, and Manchester United, playing away from home, is temporarily in the lead. But this is not what Bell wants. What he wants is more goals and a bigger lead.

Some people say that 1:0 is the most dangerous score, and some people say that 2:0 is the most dangerous score. But for Bell, before the game is settled, no score is safe, and he can never lose his confidence in the goal. The desire to pursue, if you can get one more, you can never get one less.

But as the end of the first half approaches, the differences within Zenit seem to be disappearing rapidly - since the first half is over in six or seven minutes, why don't we hold on? We have been on guard for nearly forty minutes, is there still six or seven minutes missing?

The gaps and loopholes in Zenit's defense are closing and disappearing. How can we achieve another breakthrough?

Bell decided to make another adjustment that his opponents never thought of.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, he gestured to his teammates and gave a signal - formation change!

Generally speaking, decisions about formation changes are made by the head coach on the sidelines, but now Ferguson has given Bell the greatest freedom. As a player, he has the right to change the formation and style of play based on the situation on the court. Ferguson's role is to watch him from the sidelines and observe whether his adjustment is effective. If it is not effective, he must change it back in time to avoid being taken advantage of by the opponent.

Bell's change of formation is to put himself on the front line, turning Manchester United's current 442 into 433. They also play 433 and are more aggressive.

This season, in addition to playing the traditional 442 formation, Manchester United has also used the 433 formation many times, and even played 4231. They have practiced these formations.

Manchester United quickly completed the change. When Zenit found out, Bell had already completed a header challenge in the penalty area.

Manchester United's current 433 formation is somewhat different from the previous 433 formation. In the past, when changing from other formations to 433, Bale or Nani, or even both of them, were put up front at the same time to complete the change. After completing the formation change in this way, Bell will play the role of winger.

In today's change of formation, Bell is not taking up the position of winger, but taking up the position of center. Carrick singled out the defensive midfielder, Sneijder and Nani leaned towards the center, forming an isosceles inverted triangle with Carrick in the ribs, leaving the wings to Evra and Valencia, while Rooney and Berbato Husband went to the wing, and Bell directly inserted into the middle.

In the process of switching from defense to offense, Bell retreated to respond. The formation looked like a long diamond midfielder 442, with Bell as the attacking midfielder. Once it hits the opponent's thirty-meter area, it becomes 433.

This formation was actually used by Manchester United at the beginning of the season. At that time, Sneijder had not yet transferred to Manchester United, and Bell was a guest midfielder in those games. However, after Sneijder came to Manchester United, Bell rarely played this position and spent most of his time on the left, where he is best.

The reason why Bell made such a change of formation was because he was sure that Zenit would defend desperately in these few minutes and would be unable to counterattack and pose no threat to Manchester United's goal, so Carrick could handle it alone. .

………………

Spalletti was the first to notice the new situation on the sidelines. During this period, Manchester United was pressing Zenit to attack, and Spalletti was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. But he found that Bell didn't go back most of the time, just in the penalty area. This was not in line with his previous performance... What is this?

He watched for a while and found that Manchester United had changed their formation, 433!

Zenit's defense is not used to the extra striker Bale. Originally, Alves was responsible for Berbatov and Lombart was responsible for Rooney. Now suddenly there is an extra one, and it happens to be stuck in Alves. The relationship between him and Longbart made the two of them very uncomfortable.

Not defensive, right? Absolutely not. There is no one on this planet who is so big-hearted as to leave Bale, the number one player in football, alone. That is really the old man eating arsenic and getting tired of living.

Defensive right? Who will defend? If Alves goes, who will keep an eye on Berbatov? If Longbart goes, who will defend Rooney? If the full backs are deployed to cover the defense, what should we do on the wings? Manchester United's wing attack is quite sharp.

It would be nice to bring back the midfielders, but are Nani and Sneijder, the two attacking midfielders in Manchester United's team, vegetarians?

You must know that Manchester United in today's game is very unexpected, give them a "surprise", who knows who will pass the fatal ball to whom at what time and in a low-key manner.

In this formation, Zenit was in a dilemma. Bell was like driving a nail into Zenit's heart, making the opponent extremely uncomfortable.

When the Zenit players were hesitant, Manchester United launched an offensive. Bell took a step back, turned his back to the direction of the attack, and asked Sneijder for the ball.

As a center, one of the most important skills is the ability to hold the ball behind the back. There are many forwards, but not many can be centers, because not everyone has the ability to hold the ball behind the back. Thanks to the almighty ball saint system, Bell also used the experience cards of top centers such as Ronaldo in the past two years, and he still mastered some skills of holding the ball behind his back.

At this moment, he caught the ball from Sneijder and did not turn around in a hurry. Instead, he leaned on the defensive player. The person who came to defend him this time was Lombart, while Rooney handed it to the full-back Hu Bosang. The person who replaced Hu Bosang was Faizulin.

The surrounding Zenit players were already rushing toward him, and Lombart was still trying to steal the ball behind him. Bell shook his ankle and quickly passed the football back, but he did not give it to Sneijder, but to another player. Nani on one side.

Nani quickly distributed the ball and gave the ball to Valencia on the wing. After receiving the ball, Valencia made a cross. The football hit Chirianov's legs. There was a small line change. Berbatov, who followed up in the middle, did not hit the ball. Of course, Zevno The husband did not save the ball, and the football flew out of the goal, causing a burst of exclamations from the stands.

………………

"This can't go on like this..." Spalletti frowned and shook his head.

Since being drawn against Manchester United, Spalletti knew that the team's promotion prospects were worrying. Although Zenit defeated Manchester United in the European Super Cup three years ago, three years is really a long distance in football, and both teams are no longer the same teams. , many of Zenit's main players moved to Europe, and their strength was much weaker; while Manchester United received a lot of reinforcements, replacing Barcelona and becoming the new Cosmos team in many people's minds.

Of course, Spalletti is unlikely to surrender. He still has some expectations for the team to advance to the quarterfinals.

Originally, Spalletti wanted to take advantage of the fact that Manchester United came from the "warm" England to the freezing Russia. They were not adaptable to the environment and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, so that they could compete with Manchester United at home.

If he can take advantage of the extremely cold weather in Russia and defeat the powerful Manchester United in an upset, his team will have a chance at Old Trafford in that round.
