Football: The strongest center in history

“It’s really an atypical Ronaldo goal. There are no domineering headers, nor domineering use of strong bodies to force defenders to turn and volley. He used a feint and immediately connected a left-footed shot, and although the force of the shot was not as great as his right-footed shot, the arc of the left-footed shot was just enough to bypass Howard’s palm. Lightkinson sighed in the commentary table.

“Then again, Ronaldo’s goal distribution is getting more and more even, just two years ago, more than 90% of his goals were headers, but this season, although he has not scored many goals, at the same time, he has scored with his feet significantly.

“His growth rate is indeed quite fast!” Gary Neville also sighed.

At this time, the televised footage locked on Lukaku on the field.

In the confrontation between the two nines, the media will always be keen to hype this kind of thing.

In fact, many media outlets called this match a showdown between two “Warcraft”.

Lukaku, nicknamed “Little Monster”, was considered the successor of Demon Drogba when he joined Chelsea.

And Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho once said in an interview: “Among the young players now, the closest player to Drogba is Ronaldo. As soon as this remark came out, it seemed that an officially designated “Warcraft successor” appeared

However, Ronado himself firmly rejected the nickname in an interview, he is Ronaldo, he will never be anyone’s successor, and… He felt that he was much stronger than Drogba! Isn’t it humiliating to give a center forward who is inferior to himself to take over?

But there are still many people who see him as a second Drogba, the same physical qualities and excellence, the same strong center.

The media always likes to force connections between things to attract readers.

Therefore, the showdown between Ronaldo and Lukaku has also become the focus of the media.

Now that Ronaldo has scored a goal ahead, the attention of the media immediately focuses on Lukaku, and the TV broadcaster is also the media, and naturally knows the psychology of the media.

But the picture of the confrontation between the two No. 9 peaks did not appear, which disappointed many media.

Because after United’s goal, Everton never found the form they were when they started.

They have no way to threaten United’s penalty area, leaving Romelu Lukaku in the centre with little possession.

In fact, Lukaku didn’t even touch the ball many times.

In the twentieth minute of the game, Manchester United’s possession was 58 per cent and Everton’s possession was 42 per cent.

Although Manchester United is dominant in possession, the advantage in data does not seem to be too big, Everton is not as strong as Manchester United, and it is understandable that Manchester United has more possession.

But if you are watching the match, you will know that the data is far from showing the real situation of the game.

Everton’s possession is mostly in the 30-metre area of the team, with mutual passes between goalkeepers and defenders. Manchester United’s possession is the active possession of the attacking three zones up front.

One side is the possession rate obtained by the negative backward foot in the back, and the other is the possession obtained by the active attack in the front court.

Judging from the scene, Manchester United are undoubtedly in complete control of the situation.

Everton are not passive in trying to stall for time and fall back at the back, they are now the one behind and they desperately need to attack.

But what makes Everton’s players uncomfortable is that they can’t find a way to pass the ball forward.

Manchester United’s front-line pressure is very positive and clearly organised. Starting with Ronaldo, to Juan Mata, Ashley Young, and Carrick, Fellaini and Clavelli behind them, plus two Evra and Rafael who pressed down on both wings of the midfield, these eight players organized into a net that locked all of Everton’s forward passing lines in the midfield, leaving Everton a little breathless.

Moyes was a little proud.

If it was a change of team, he really did not dare to press so boldly.

But he’s been in charge at Everton for many years and he knows this team all too well!

Everton’s two backs are veterans Barry and James McCarthy. James is a pure defensive player when he is put in the back position by Martinez.

And the veteran Barry is actually a defensive player, just because he has a lot of experience in the game, and in terms of awareness and rhythm control, the veteran can also do it.

But to expect him to take the ball, protect the ball, control the ball, and then move forward from the defensive pressure, this is a bit difficult for the thirty-four-year-old player.

And the three forwards in the front court, Naismith, Barkley and Lennon, can not be counted on.

At this time, another shortcoming of Lukaku was exposed.

That’s because his technique with the ball on his back is still crude, and he can’t go back to midfield to provide much help at such a time.

If it’s Ronaldo, he can go back to midfield and keep the ball at his feet.

But Romelu Lukaku couldn’t, and in fact he tried to do so, but when the ball reached his feet, Lukaku quickly lost the ball again – even exposing his weakness in his poor stopping technique.

If you want to attack and can’t get out, then it is not surprising to lose the ball here.

In the 38th minute, Juan Mata passed the ball to the feet of Rafael, who stepped in to assist, and Rafael took the ball forward, used his speed to pass Everton’s left-back Galloway, and then picked the ball into the box as the ball was about to go off the line.

The pass is a bit big, even Ronaldo, can only watch the football fly over his head, helpless.

Rafael’s pass went to the other side and was taken down by Evra.

Manchester United’s two full-backs came together once in a two-on-ten combination……._
