Football: The strongest center in history

Manchester United should indeed be disappointed.

Because they haven’t been suppressed so hard by a team for a long time.

Atletico Madrid are in complete control of the situation, their constant passing and tearing at the Manchester United defense, and the Manchester United players, who are mainly defending, can only follow the football and constantly move their own defense.

Tired!

This is the collective feeling of Manchester United’s players.

Although it was only forty-five minutes of play, Atletico Madrid’s almost suffocating pressing almost kept Manchester United’s players in high-intensity confrontation for almost the entire game!!

This time, Simeone let go of Ronaldo and focused on the rest of the Manchester United players!

And this trick proved to be very effective.

Without Ronaldo, Manchester United’s squad after Ferguson’s retirement would not have been able to sustain the Red Devils’ name.

The roster is old, there are too many role players, and there are too few stars.

It can be said that Manchester United’s current results are achieved by Ronaldo with the team.

………

“Now we’re two goals behind.”

In the dressing room, after all the players were seated, Moyes said calmly.

He did not get angry, but continued in a very calm tone.

“But that’s not a reason for us to give up. It’s just two goals, we have forty-five minutes left, that’s enough for us to score goals, and with our attacking strength, it’s not too difficult to score one or two. Also, we need away goals!! We beat them at home and as long as we have goals away we still have a chance. ”

Manchester United were overwhelmed by Atletico Madrid in the first half and now the team needs confidence, not criticism.

“We had too few offensive chances in the first half! It’s a difficult away game, but we have a way to deal with it. In the second half we played a little simpler, trying to create as many set-pieces as possible, and in the first half we had almost no corners! This is so undeserved! ”

“We’re going to kick our football out! Let them taste our football! ”

In the end, Moyes finally raised his tone and renewed the morale of the team!

Ronaldo stood up, and generally by this time, after the head coach had finished speaking, it was time for the captain of the team to play. However, Ronaldo stood up at this moment, and the players were not surprised, and sometimes the morale-boosting work was occasionally taken up by the team’s core players.

“Brothers! I didn’t give up on this game! Does anyone think the same way as me! ”

“Neither do I!”

Raphael abruptly stood up from his seat and said with his head held high.

“The taste of the Champions League winner, just tasting it once is not enough!”

“I didn’t give up on the game either

“Fight with them!”

Soon, all the Manchester United players stood up.

That’s when captain Rio Ferdinand was working, looking around and then raising his fist: “We are Manchester United!” Brothers, —————— now”

“Let them taste it!”

The players roared en masse!

………

Atletico Madrid’s pre-match work was meticulous and Simeone did a lot of work against United’s dangerous pair.

The smooth going of the game did surprise them a little.

No one could have predicted that they would score in less than three minutes into the game, and Atletico Madrid played very comfortably in the first forty-five minutes of the first half.

After half-time, the players began to return to the pitch one after another.

Atletico Madrid fans are still singing loudly, while Manchester United fans are a little silent, worried about what will happen to the team away from home.

Judging from the first half of the game, Manchester United’s state in this game does not look good, which makes the fans a little incomprehensible, such a passive situation, these Manchester United die-hard fans are rarely seen in this Manchester United.

Even the Manchester United flag was hung down in disappointment, not waved by the fans, and they huddled together and exchanged ears, worrying about the prospect of the team’s Champions League.

Under the light of the Calderón stadium, the second half of the game began.

In the first half, Atletico Madrid’s two midfielders, Raul Garcia and Cork, performed very well, and Atletico Madrid’s two goals were also related to the activity of these two players on the wing.

Atletico Madrid will of course continue to fuss on the flanks in the second half.

But it soon became clear to Atletico Madrid that they were not so smooth on the wing.

It’s not that Manchester United have specifically strengthened their defence on the wing, but now United’s attack is starting to come alive.

Ronaldo’s range of motion has increased, and he is no longer confined to the middle, but often swims to two sides to catch the ball.

Against a physically strong Ronaldo, even Atletico Madrid’s two centre-backs will struggle to take advantage of the confrontation, let alone their full-backs.

In this case, both Cork and Raul Garcia need to come back to assist in defense, and they also have to take on more defensive tasks.

Other Manchester United players were also more positive, and after adjusting at halftime, United finally emerged from the slump of the first half and began to be active in attack.

In the 50th minute, after an unsuccessful attack by Atletico Madrid, De Gea drove a big ball straight into front, Ronaldo stopped the ball on the wing, and then leaned on Juan Forlan, waiting for the overall pressure of his teammates.

The role of being the fulcrum of the center is very evident in this moment.

Juan Mata ran out of the gap and Ronaldo passed the ball to the feet of the incoming Mata and cut in the middle.

Mata also tried to cut inside to develop into the middle after taking the ball, but with interceptions by Thiago and F. Gabi, he dropped this plan.

So he made an oblique pass of the ball to the ribs and handed it to Ronaldo’s feet.

Ronaldo turned with his back to the ball, and despite the small angle, he tried to shoot the goal.

The football was blocked by Courtois and lifted the line. _
