Golden Greenery

Text Chapter 457: The Twin Towers of the Red Devils Show Off Their Power

The night has deepened in the Philip II Arena, and the humid air condenses over the stadium. Manchester City fans are still singing, and Manchester United fans are not praying. The substitute was practicing, and several caddies were carrying drinks. The 30C temperature at night seemed even more unbearable than the scorching heat during the day.

Fans who go to watch the game are roughly divided into two categories, one is very determined and the other is very hesitant.

Determined people can be subdivided into two types. One type decisively rushes to the bathroom when the half-time whistle blows. If there is water, use it. If there is no water, you have to squeeze a little less. The other is very determined not to join in the fun, even if his bladder is filled with urine in the second half, he will not hesitate to die for the home team.

People who hesitate are very confused. At first, they will believe that the urge to urinate is not strong, and feel that there is no problem in holding it in until the end. However, as people around them continue to rush to the toilet, they have doubts about their own opinions, and their confidence in holding it in is shaken.

Halfway through the intermission, the hesitant people completely overturned themselves. In a hurry, they formed a counter-movement with the first wave of people who finished urinating. They hurried to the toilet, listening to the goings on in the field, and waiting in a long queue anxiously. tail.

The stadium toilets are always overcrowded during halftime, and even the cleanest pools will be filled with urine. Until long after the buzzer started in the second half, people continued to rush into the stands waving their hands.

Peeing in the stadium is very much like life.

The toilet in the players' locker room will not be crowded, and it exudes the fragrance of orchid. The intoxicating aftertaste cannot be compared with a few cheap mothballs.

Feiniao came out of the toilet, wiped his hands on the hem of his jersey, and asked: "Old Zhuo, you can see clearly in the stands, was my ball offside?"

Before Zhuoyang had time to answer, or to dislike his lack of attention to detail, the locker room was silenced by Guardiola's slap in the face.

"We played well in the first half, and if we continue in the second half, I guess if we score one more goal, the victory will be determined. But..." Guardiola changed the subject: "According to my careful analysis, Manchester United will definitely change in the second half. Now everyone Listen to me and tell you the specific precautions.”

Zhuo Yang told Lao Gua his guess about Mourinho's emotional clues, and then the two analyzed Mourinho's possible back-up moves.

It didn't take much effort, because they all knew Mu Niao very well, so they quickly had the answer.

——Punch!

Simple and crude, this is precisely Manchester City's relative weakness, and it is also what Manchester United is relatively good at. Mourinho relied on this to eliminate Manchester City in the League Cup last season. At that time, they only had Ibrahimovic who didn't like to catch high balls, but now they have Lukaku.

It seems that Mourinho's plan is to fight a war of attrition in the first half. One goal behind is within his acceptable range. In the second half, he will definitely make good use of the dark and hard high point of the little monster Lukaku to bomb Manchester City from the air.

Sure enough, Guardiola and Zhuo Yang expected it. As soon as the second half started, Mourinho replaced Lingard with Rashford. The formation was still the same, but Lukaku was more prominent. Both Mkhitaryan and Herrera hid, and together with Pogba and Master La, they kept hitting Lukaku's head with various crosses.

That's it?

Although Manchester City's midfield lacks big men who can make steel, they are all technical nerds who are obsessed with using softness to overcome strength. They can only rely on Kompany and Stones on the defense to fight against Lukaku.

Stones is close. He has agility and height, but he is not tough enough. Lukaku will get more and more excited when he bumps into him. However, since he was mentally prepared, Guardiola did not panic. He used French center back Eliaquim Mangala according to his response plan.

Although Mangala is disliked by Guardiola and has a lot of problems. He turns slowly and cannot move his feet, but he is black and hard, and he is using his talents to collide with Lukaku's beast.

Kompany and Mangala, plus Otamendi wandering to the second position, Lukaku's rampage and excitement have nothing to do with the rest of Manchester United.

That's it? Mourinho is a donkey in Guizhou?

No! Guardiola and Zhuo Yang still underestimated Mourinho.

In the 55th minute, when the battle was at its hottest and most anxious, he unleashed his real killer move.

Not Ibrahimovic. I said before that the Swedish God re-signed Manchester United, and that was because he was mentioned in passing. According to the development of the timeline, at this time Ibrahimovic was still drawing his sword and looking around at a loss, his eyes were turning a thousand times, and he had not yet signed with Manchester United.

Plan B is 30-year-old Marouane Fellaini.

Fellaini is a man who can play the entire central axis, from the deep-lying free central defender to the forward. The core of Van Gaal's "big circle tactics" back then, he was the most domineering man in football.

As long as Fellaini is still there, let alone Kompany, Courtois Hazard, or De Bruyne Lukaku in the Belgian national team, he will definitely be the boss. Even if he is not the captain, Fellaini is still the boss.

Whether in the Belgian national team, or in every team from Standard Liege to Everton to Manchester United, Fellaini, who is equally good at his feet, is the most powerful person in heading the ball. The kitchen above the hall is bright when given a ray of sunshine.

Manchester United bought Matic at a high price with the important purpose of liberating Pogba, but the person who was really liberated was Fellaini.

Mourinho gave Fellaini a center position today, and Manchester United adopted a twin-tower strategy.

One force can bring down ten. From the moment Fellaini came on the scene, he and Lukaku have won almost all the top battles in the frontcourt. In this way, Manchester City is really at a disadvantage.

It's not that Manchester United just passed the ball for Fellaini and Lukaku to header, nor is it simple and crude. The two of them will form the offensive fulcrum + end point, making Manchester United's attack rich and layered.

The scenery on the sidelines changed. The white-haired Mourinho is a confident and suave coach, while Guardiola is like a bald donkey jumping up and down in a hurry.

After Manchester City persisted for twenty minutes, it broke.

In the 72nd minute, Mkhitaryan made a 45° cross. Kompany couldn't beat Fellaini, and his header flew into the arc of the penalty area. Matic volleyed in the air.

The quality of the shot was very high, but Ederson also made a phenomenal save. But Mangala's slow turn once again became a trap. When Lukaku made a supplementary shot, he could only be a spectator.

1:1, the two sides were tied, with twenty minutes left in the game.

Zhuo Yang was scratching his head in the stands. Thinking from Guardiola's perspective, he seemed to have no good way to deal with it. Lao Gua is good at making simple tactics so detailed that they can be elaborate, while Mu Niao can make complex tactics as simple as possible.

And it can also be seen from the adjustment in the second half that Lao Gua is not as flexible as Mourinho. Guardiola is always accustomed to me as the main player and insists on his own pass control + high position. Mourinho has obviously become much more slick in recent years, tactically The core of regional restrictions remains unchanged, but in terms of specific performance, you can talk to people and talk to ghosts.

Although Manchester City is strong, it may not be possible without Zhuoyang in the finals of important battles.
