Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

In the end, there was no new change in the first half. Clattenburg blew a whistle and the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 1:1.

Back to the locker room.

Li Shiguang immediately began to make adjustments to the shortcomings of the first half.

The first thing to move is Leeds United's right side.

Almost all of Manchester United's threatening attacks in the first half were launched from this side, including Rooney's goal. The initiators of this attack were Ronaldo and Evra who were active on this side.

To be honest.

From the beginning of the game, Ronaldo's pressure was really a bit too much.

At the beginning, Li Shiguang wanted to use Alves' speed to fight Ronaldo. Even if he couldn't steal the ball from Ronaldo's feet, he could prevent the Portuguese from cutting in and squeeze him out, which was also a success.

Li Shiguang also specifically explained Alves before the game.

But Alves' desire to attack was beyond Li Shiguang's expectations.

Ronaldo seized the opportunity of Alves' assists to the front court several times, threatening Leeds United's goal.

Of course, Li Shiguang did not think Alves was bad. A strong desire to attack was not a bad thing. It was just that in such an important game today, Leeds United's defense line needed stability more!

Looking at Alves sitting in the corner, Li Shiguang said calmly: "Dani, you take a rest in the second half."

You know your own situation.

Alves didn't need to think too much to know why Li Shiguang replaced him.

So he looked a little flustered and stood up to explain: "Boss, I just..."

"It's okay!" Li Shiguang stretched out his hand to interrupt Alves, "Don't worry, replacing you has nothing to do with your performance on the court, it's just my tactical need."

"Ah?" Alves, who didn't explain, looked a little confused. He thought Li Shiguang replaced him because of his poor performance.

"Oh shit." Li Shiguang smiled gently, "Don't worry, your bonus won't be reduced."

A harmless joke made everyone in the locker room laugh, easing the atmosphere and letting Alves put down his worries.

Then.

Li Shiguang turned to look at Sun Jihai, who was sandwiched between Hummels and Reus, and said directly in English: "Jihai, will you play in the second half?"

Sun Jihai was a little surprised and pointed at himself: "Boss, I will play?"

"Yeah..." Li Shiguang nodded, "If I remember correctly, you successfully defended Cristiano alone when you were in Manchester City, right?"

Sun Jihai scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "That's the case, but he had just landed in the Premier League not long ago, and I was lucky..."

"Don't underestimate yourself." When saying this idiom, Li Shiguang switched to Chinese, and then switched to English, "Defending is defending, it has nothing to do with luck! Although he is much stronger than he was then , but I believe that you have not been standing still in the past two years at Leeds United, right? "

"Okay, Ji Hai, you have only one task, to tie Cristiano down after you come on the court! The scenes of cutting in and shooting or easily passing the ball in the first half are not allowed to appear again!"

"Okay! Make sure to complete the task!" Sun Ji Hai stood up from his seat and patted his chest hard....

"OK..." Li Shiguang looked around and made a summary, "I have already explained more to you. Remember what I emphasized. We must focus on Luca and James and try to get the ball to Didico's feet. Only in this way can we achieve the final victory!"

····

Coincidentally.

When Li Shiguang was arranging how to defend Ronaldo in the locker room.

On the other side, Ferguson was also arranging tasks around Ronaldo.

"Come over, just like Patrice did in the first half." Pointing at Evra, Ferguson said to the other Manchester United players, especially the three midfielders, "We can definitely win by attacking around Cristiano!"

After saying this, Ferguson turned his attention to Ronaldo: "Cristiano, you don't have to force it if you are not completely sure. Look further, cooperate with others, or pass the ball to Wayne on the other side!"

"Okay, sir." Ronaldo nodded, but still added, "The full-back on the opposite side prefers to press forward, I am sure to deal with him."

Recalling Alves' performance in the first half.

Ferguson felt that Ronaldo was not wrong, so he nodded and did not continue to dwell on this issue.

The old Sir Alex meticulously arranged all the tasks point by point, walked to the middle of the locker room and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Kids, you performed very well in the first half, I am verySatisfied! Just like I said, in the second half, stabilize the defense, keep an eye on the attackers of Leeds United, and then look for opportunities on the wing. Believe me, as long as we do these two things, we will definitely bring the Premier League championship trophy back to Old Trafford today! "

After the first half of the test and observation.

In the fifteen minutes of the midfield.

Both coaches have determined their own winning hand.

Li Shiguang pays more attention to the middle.

And Ferguson, on the other hand, puts his bets on the two sides....

····

Fifteen minutes passed in a flash.

After the rest, the players of both sides returned to the court.

Ferguson immediately found that Sun Jihai was replaced by Li Shiguang.

Ferguson has an impression of this compatriot of Li Shiguang.

After all, Sun Jihai is still When he played for Manchester City, his arch-rival, he had successfully defended his beloved disciple, Cristiano Ronaldo, on his own. He even played a one-on-four show.

Although Sun Jihai is not a top full-back in the Premier League.

But Ferguson knows it very well.

This Chinese defender may be slightly lacking in offense, but he is likely to contribute more on the defensive end than Alves in the first half.

At least he will not run forward whenever he has time, but stay in the backcourt honestly.

"Damn it! You always react so quickly!"

He couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Ferguson rolled his eyes at Li Shiguang, who was standing on the sidelines discussing something with Rivaldo, and suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart.

In the studio of Sky Sports.

Jon and Lineker were also discussing Li Shiguang's substitution.

"Jon, why did Li replace Alves with Sun? "Lineker was a little puzzled, "In this way, Leeds United only has one substitution quota left. There are still 45 minutes left in the game. Wouldn't it be too hasty to use this quota so early?"

"Why don't you go up and teach Leeds United how to play? Speaking of which, you are still a fan of Li. I didn't expect you to doubt your idol?" Jon was a little speechless, "This is obvious! Look at the technical statistics in the first half. 80% of Manchester United's attacks were launched from the left side. So why did Li use this substitution quota? Do I need to explain it?"

During the halftime break, Lineker was busy chatting and really forgot to look at the technical statistics.

At this time, with Jon's reminder, he suddenly realized.

"Ah? Really?"

"Nonsense! Yes!" Jon rolled his eyes and almost rolled to the sky, "It is obvious that Li is now trying to stabilize the defense to the greatest extent, especially the side where Cristiano is active... Only in this way can we win this Premier League championship trophy without any mistakes!"
