After Ashley Young accidentally scored an own goal.
Almost everyone has such a sentence in their minds: Wasting an opportunity is indeed retribution!
United had the advantage in the first half.
Instead of extending the scoreline, they were equalized by Atletico Madrid! As soon as they came back in the second half, United fell behind.
He Ping didn’t know what to say in the commentary seat. The cheers of Atletico Madrid’s fans resounded throughout the audience.
The television broadcast began to replay Ashley Young’s own ball just now. See how this ball is produced.
Tao Wei couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “If this is not an oolong goal, you can choose the best header goal in this Europa League last time…”
He Ping also smiled bitterly when he heard this.
“Own-goal, Manchester United are behind because of an own goal, now it is trouble, giving Atletico Madrid the lead is not a good thing for Manchester United”
Li Ao’s words made several veterans of Manchester United on the field also react.
They quickly encouraged each other.
Alex Ferguson was also on the sidelines, pointing at his temples to keep the players calm.
Don’t panic about losing the ball. It’s just a goal lost. It’s not the end of the world.
What’s more, Manchester United’s game scene is still at an advantage, not at all to the point of exhaustion.
If at this time the mentality collapses.
That’s basically giving up the victory.
After the celebration of the players of Atletico Madrid. Manchester United’s players have been waiting for kick-off.
The camera lens gave Ashley Young a close-up.
Ashley Young, who had just scored an own goal, looked a little ugly. But not too frustrated.
They all know it.
Just one goal behind.
Manchester United have not been far behind this season.
In the end, they also completed the reversal in most of the games. It’s not scary to be behind.
After the game restarts. United are in no hurry to attack.
Li Ao passed the ball back, then pressed down with both hands, signaling his teammates to slow down the tempo before talking.
Now Atletico Madrid has just scored and morale is high.
Manchester United need to avoid flaws in the back line being exploited by Atletico Madrid.
Manchester United’s players look calm.
But the heart was definitely affected by this conceded goal.
At that time, any mistake may be caught by the opponent. From the game to the present.
The biggest image that Atletico Madrid gives Manchester United players is their ability to seize chances!
They don’t have many chances in total, but now it’s them who are ahead.
Now one goal down and there is still a long game to go, what United need is to defend well.
After draining the momentum that had taken Atletico Madrid’s lead, then seek to attack.
Ferguson did not give a similar directive.
This is a decision made by Li Ao according to the form on the field, his own judgment.
Coaches are not players after all.
Their influence is more reflected in their usual training. When it comes to the real game.
It must be the players who have more influence on the game!
As the commander of the team, you can’t just wait for instructions from the sidelines at this time.
He has to have a clear idea at all times, and pass that thought on to his teammates, to bring the heart of the whole team together and twist it into a strand.
In this team. Li Ao is the brain. He is responsible for thinking. Output instructions.
The other players need to follow his instructions. Soon.
Manchester United’s players passed the ball in the centre-back. The pace of the game slows down.
Li Ao kept running, receiving the ball, passing the ball.
There was no rush to pass the ball forward, which made Atletico Madrid, who were eager to play Manchester United’s counter-attack, save.
Sidelines.
Simeone’s gaze never left Li Ao.
“His control of the rhythm is a master…”
Simeone said suddenly.
The assistant next to him knew who Simeone was talking about.
“Yes, it’s really hard to imagine that he is so young.”
“What are we going to do now?”
Simeone smiled slightly: “I think this little guy must be expecting my team to press up!” But I’m not as good as he wants! ”
Then. Simeone came to the sidelines.
Use gestures to clearly tell the players of Atletico Madrid on the pitch: hold on to the half, don’t take the plunge!
Ferguson and his assistant Mike Phelan also saw Simeone’s move.
“They weren’t fooled…”
McPhalan was rather sorry.
“Now do we need to press up and attack?”
He asked.
Li Ao’s calculations are also clear.
It’s about luring the snakes out of the hole, taking advantage of the excitement of Atletico Madrid’s freshly scored goal, and letting them press hard and hit them behind them.
As a result, people are not coming up at all now. The calculation to lure the snake out of the hole failed.
Manchester United now need to consider taking the initiative to attack the bucket of Atletico Madrid.
But when to start the offensive. Timing matters.
As before.
Ferguson will definitely stand on the sidelines and watch, wait for the moment, and then wave his hand to make his team press hard!
But now. He didn’t.
Because he wants to give the ‘front-line commanders’ full autonomy.
“Let him decide!”
Ferguson said.
He’s a manager, not a player.
In fact, how far the situation of the game has progressed, the players on the field are the first parties, the opponent’s pressing strength, running enthusiasm, players can feel faster than the coach on the sidelines.
Just before that.
United lack a true all-around commander in midfield. That’s why Ferguson had to remind from the sidelines.
And now.
Ferguson believes that Li Ao can do these jobs well. This is the real Togu!
As long as Li Ao is still on the court.
It can be guaranteed that no matter who the manager is on the sidelines.
Li Ao can rely on his influence on the court to prevent the team from collapsing.
He is a guarantee of the team’s lower limit.
Ferguson is clear. There is a good chance that United will have some turmoil after his departure.
The guarantee that Manchester United can remain at the forefront of the Premier League during this turbulent period is guaranteed.
In Ferguson’s eyes. It’s Li Ao!
So he will not interfere with Li Ao’s impact on the court.
Li Ao takes over the rhythm of the team and directs the team’s offense. These are all things Ferguson is happy to see.
The more Li Ao influenced the team. After he left the team.
The less impact it will have on Manchester United.
Li Ao pressed the rhythm in the backcourt. At the same time, it is also watching the opponent.
Slowing down is just a strategy to avoid the other side’s momentum.
But to equalize. Or rely on offense.
So.
How do you get to get a goal from Atletico Madrid? Tactically.
In fact, there are many chances for Manchester United in this game.
Atletico Madrid’s defence was not impenetrable, and United created a lot of chances.
But in the end.
All were dissolved by Courtois, who was in excellent condition. The goalkeeper is up, and it is really a headache. Since the teammates can’t take the chance.
And what about coming by yourself?
In fact, when it comes to shooting, Li Ao is not the best at Manchester United. He didn’t play much as a striker.
Teenage years even pure defensive midfielder.
His shooting skills, compared to Rooney, compared to strikers such as Little Pea. It’s not very impressive.
So.
You want to break the opponent’s goal.
Then there has to be some unexpected moves. For example, my own goal in the first half.
Hanging while Courtois lost his position.
No one expected to shoot from this position, so Courtois, who was in good form in this game, could not stop it.
If only there was a similar opportunity…
The pace of the next game seemed slow.
Because Atletico Madrid shrank back after taking the lead.
They even gave up their expertise in frontcourt pressing, which previously made Atletico Madrid’s players feel uneasy when United hit them back-to-back.
Both sides spent seven or eight minutes in such a slow-paced game. The score has not changed in any way.
The sixtieth minute after the game. The pace still seems slow. But no one found out.
Manchester United, who had been falling at the back, gradually extended the scope of possession to midfield and near the center circle.
Li Ao suddenly sent a straight kick. In the box, Rooney stopped the ball.
But at the same time he was also labeled by Miranda. It is almost impossible to force a turn in the penalty area.
Atletico Madrid has a large number of defenders in the box. Right at this time.
Li Ao also quickly stepped forward after completing the pass. Outside the line of the Great Restricted Zone.
So Rooney quickly passed the ball back. Li Ao is receiving the ball at the same time.
Mario Suarez pounced. Face the opposing defense.
Li Ao did not rush to pass the ball, but made a fake move, making a gesture to bring the ball to the left, and when Mario Suarez shifted his center of gravity to that side, Li Ao flicked the ball to the center.
A rhythmic change.
Let Li Ao find two lines that can pass the ball.
The first is Rooney, who moves sideways in the box.
The second is to insert Scholes into the box from the back row to participate in the attack. So to speak.
Li Ao either shoved the ball straight to Rooney. Or to Scholes by the way.
He’s done a very good offensive set-up, and whatever happens next.
Rooney and Scholes can do a delicate handling in the box. It has nothing to do with Li Ao.
Li Ao turned his head to look at Rooney.
His move attracted the attention of almost all Atletico Madrid defenders.
They followed and looked over.
Sure enough, I saw Rooney pull out a gap!!
The first to pounce was Miranda, who quickly approached Rooney to compress the gap.
Meanwhile.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois also quickly moved his position, stuck to the front point, and blocked Rooney’s possible shooting angle!!
The reaction of Atletico Madrid’s players was in Li Ao’s prediction. Even the reaction of goalkeeper Courtois.
Almost everyone saw such a picture.
Scholes helped Li Ao pull away from the defense, and Li Ao plugged the ball straight to Rooney, allowing the center to complete a small-angle shot…
This is the most likely offensive routine. Atletico Madrid
The players were quickly fully prepared for such an attack.
The goal of Godin and Miranda is not to break the ball, but to continue to compress Rooney’s space, allowing him to shoot at smaller angles.
The smaller the angle.
The more Thibaut Courtois was able to save the ball.
Courtois’s good performance wasn’t just his ability to save. Pairing with two centre-backs is also particularly important.
Some shooting lines are deliberately flowed out, grabbing the big and letting go of the small, so that the opponent’s shot is in a situation that can be predicted at any time.
In this way, the goalkeeper’s save success rate is of course high. Otherwise.
Courtois is no better. Nor is it a god.
All saves were not made by chance.
The defense of the back line is a whole system. It requires tacit cooperation between players.
Football. It’s a team sport.
It’s not just on the offensive end, it’s also on the defensive end!
When everyone’s movements were almost the same as Li Ao’s prediction in his heart, Li Ao suddenly had an idea.
Between electric flints.
He raised his right foot.
His raised right foot suddenly straightened and came with a curved shot! That’s right.
It’s shooting. Not a pass. However. At the time of his shooting.
He kept turning his head to look at Rooney’s movements. That’s the action.
Fooled everyone.
It’s not just Atletico Madrid’s defenders.
Even Rooney thinks Li Ao is going to pass the ball to himself.
He stretched out his arms, tried to open up space, and was ready to turn around and shoot when he received the ball.
And his reaction deepened the judgment of Atletico Madrid’s players and their firm opinion.
Li Ao.
It’s about passing the ball to Rooney! So.
No one expected it.
Li Ao, who looked at Rooney. What was done was a shot!
He looked to the left, but the direction of the shot was the right! The sound belongs to yes.
Courtois was in front of the left at this time, when he saw that Li Ao was not passing, but shooting.
Between haste.
His reaction was very fast. Move sideways immediately.
But no matter how much he stretched his body. He also failed to touch football.
Because Li Ao’s angle of this ball is very tricky. Completely eaten is the position of the dead corner on the right!!
“Li Ao… Shot?! ”
The commentators were also deceived.
When he saw the football shot by Li Ao heading towards the right post of the goal.
There was a bit of uncertainty in their tone. Because they can’t judge.
Li Ao passed the ball, or was it really a shot.
His upper body is completely turned to Rooney’s side, and it does look like he is going to pass Rooney.
As a result, the ball was kicked out and went to the right, with a frightening arc.
Is this a shot?
“It’s a shot on goal!!!!”
He Ping is chanting!! With his voice.
The ball bypassed Courtois, who was swooping sideways. It hit the inside of the right door post, and then l…
Bounce into the net!!!!
A blow broke through the iron wall of young goalkeeper Courtois, who was almost in full form in this game!!
Manchester United. Two to two!
Equalized!
“Li Ao! Li Ao! Li Ao!!!!!! ”
In the commentary seat.
Andy Gray jumped up and shouted!! In England.
Many people say that Andy Gray is now too biased towards Li Ao. The commentary is not neutral at all!
So Andy Gray is still a little restrained when explaining the Premier League. Sky Sports is not Manchester United after all.
They still have to take into account the implications. Even if Andy Gray likes Li Ao again.
He also tries to put himself in an objective and neutral position when commenting on the Premier League.
But now he doesn’t need to do that in this game. As a receiver in England.
He can support Manchester United with impunity and support Li Ao.
“Two to two! Two to two! Manchester United equalised!!! ”
“This ball is so beautiful!!!”
He Ping was also shouting, “Scored twice!!” Brace!! Now Li Ao can be regarded as Mr. Merry! He has surprised two goals in these last few games, these key games! ”
“Do you dare to imagine that this is a midfielder’s goal stats?”
“It’s amazing!!!”
The entire Bucharest National Stadium became the domain of Manchester United fans. They chanted to their heart’s content!!
Li Ao was also quite excited.
He rushed directly to the corner flag area and knelt down!
It is not common for such unrestrained celebratory actions to appear on Li Ao’s body. But it can also be seen from this.
How excited he is now!! Ferguson was also excited.
He was supposed to be in the dugout.
After Li Ao sent the ball into the opponent’s goal. It was as if he had a spring installed on his butt. Bounced quickly.
Rushed to the sidelines!!
