Midfielder
Chapter 148
Lin Yi said he wanted to counterattack, and that was definitely not just talk. This kid would try his best to do what he said, and he would be very fierce.
Mourinho's roar on the sidelines and Lin Yi's crazy insertion after the restart rekindled Porto's suppressed offensive firepower.
Especially Lin Yi's first dribbling breakthrough after the game restarted, which made those crazy fans of Manchester United feel a little scared.
Lin Yi faced Bart and Fletcher's two defenses, but he forced a breakthrough in the middle, and this kid did it.
It was just a simple bicycle kick, but the football seemed to have life under Lin Yi's feet. The continuous bicycle kicks completely blinded Bart's eyes, and even Fletcher was fooled by Lin Yi's frequent bicycle kicks, until he was shaken and lost his defensive focus.
The big screen at Old Trafford was frozen at this moment. If someone counted, they would find that the boy actually did six consecutive bicycle kicks, and every time he swayed, his body center of gravity would swing with his body, and it was impossible to figure out which side he was going to pass.
Even if Bart was an experienced defensive midfielder, he couldn't stand such a fancy toss, especially because the boy's movement speed was too fast.
In a straight line distance of less than five meters, Lin Yi used six consecutive bicycle kicks to completely stun Manchester United's two defensive blockades.
In a seemingly reckless breakthrough in the middle, Lin Yi's dribbling made a big gap in the thickest position of Manchester United's defense.
After shaking off Bart and Fletcher, Lin Yi didn't stop at all, stepped on the top of the penalty area, and shot with all his strength.
If Brown hadn't realized the danger in advance, perhaps Lin Yi's shot at the edge of the penalty area would have opened Manchester United's goal.
This was all thanks to Brown's timely foot contact with the football, otherwise who knows if this kid's shot would really pass through Howard's fingers.
Even so, Lin Yi's sudden shot also made Howard sweat. Fortunately, the shot brushed the goal post and flew out of the bottom line, but the black-haired little guy still made Old Trafford exclaim for his fierce counterattack.
"Maybe we should remember this name. Maybe in a few months, he will appear in the Premier League, but I don't know if he will become a member of our Manchester United team or a prey of a team in London. Pray that this little guy can come to Old Trafford to play."
Although this was just a casual commentary on the scene, many Manchester United fans may also hope that this prayer can really come true.
After seeing the madness shown by this kid, those hardcore fans of Manchester United may hope that the team can get Lin Yi.
After losing Beckham, Manchester United has never been so eager to have another player who can make them shout. Maybe that kid can.
But it's better not to let him stand in front of Manchester United's goal and shout this night. The only thing Manchester United can count on this season is the Champions League.
No one wants to rub salt into Manchester United's wounds during such a low period, but the black-haired kid seems to want to do so.
The subsequent corner kick also proved how amazing the kid's talent is. He received Deco's tactical corner kick and shook continuously at the bottom line.
The unlucky ones this time were Djemba and Phil Neville. The two of them tried to block Lin Yi directly at the bottom line, but the kid didn't give them this opportunity. He started at high speed twice near the bottom line. Lin Yi's flexible foot pulled the ball past him and let him find space to pass the ball.
He found a gap in the crowd to pass the ball to the center of the penalty area, and made a low pass to McCarthy, creating a chance for a poke shot.
The speed of this pass was too fast, and no one knew how the kid found this passing route from so many feet.
Anyway, at least five or six people were fooled by the pass. They didn't even have the chance to intercept it. The ball just passed through.
Although the South African's shot had passed Howard's fingertips, Gary Neville, who was defending at the back post, directly kicked it away.
After McCarthy's shot was blocked, he punched the grass hard with his fist. Everyone could hear that the South African was cursing in a low voice.
However, this was the best offensive opportunity McCarthy got in the first half. No wonder this guy was so annoyed, but Lin Yi waved his hand at the South African man, indicating that it was nothing, "Come on, I don't believe they can keep this good luck. Sooner or later we will score!"
When Lin Yi said this, there was no hesitation. This was not only what he said to McCarthy, but also to himself. He would definitely knock open the opponent's defense. Even if you can hold it now, sorry, there are still more than 50 minutes in the game. He didn't believe that God could stop his feet.
Even if the old man really blessed Manchester United on this night, Lin Yi also guaranteed that he would wreak havoc on the stadium like Satan.
Give up? Sorry, Lin Yi himself has never considered this question. From the moment he stepped onto the football field, he only wanted to win the game.
He doesn't care whose home court this is. What's wrong with Old Trafford? After playing at the Bernabeu, this is the second place to play.
However, such a wave of continuous attacks did make Ferguson sit on the sidelines uneasy. The old man even shouted and gave orders for the first time.
"Keep an eye on him! Keep an eye on him! Don't let me see that bastard in the danger zone again!" Ferguson didn't care about his manners now.
The Scottish old man shouted at Butt and Fletcher with anger on his face. He didn't want to see such a scene that made his heart beat wildly again!
They are Manchester United! They are the kings of the Premier League! Ferguson didn't want to be so embarrassed in his home court. He wanted to make the team fierce!
But what can Fletcher and Butt do? Just kick the kid's legs directly? The problem is that they can only count if they can kick him. Lin Yi is like a loach in the frontcourt. He can't catch him at all. If any midfielder chooses to follow him, he will definitely be exhausted to death by this kid.
Mourinho told Lin Yi on the sidelines that he could run freely on the field. As long as he thought he could pry open the position of Manchester United's defense, Lin Yi could move freely. What he wanted was the result, not the process. As for how Lin Yi did it, he would never interfere.
With Mourinho's words, Lin Yi was completely free to run. Porto's forward pressure gave him more opportunities to run.
Lin Yi is not the initiator of the attack now, but Deco, who is responsible for controlling the rhythm, often finds Lin Yi in the weakest position of Manchester United.
That kid is like a thin knife, always wandering between the gaps in the defense. His random bumps and touches may create murderous intent.
Passing and passing are his weapons to pierce Manchester United's defense. He will make the defender at a loss and make the opponent terrified.
This requires the defensive players in charge of Manchester United to cheer up, otherwise, they will be easily broken up by this kid.
From the time Manchester United scored a goal in the 32nd minute to take the lead, to the end of the first half, both teams were attacking desperately.
Porto launched a strong counterattack led by Deco and Lin Yi. They needed to try to equalize the score in the shortest time.
Lin Yi was like a crazy assassin. He began to swing the sharp blade in his hand wantonly, ravaging the area defended by Bart again and again.
Not only passing the ball, this little guy actually shot three times in a row in these ten minutes. Although he didn't score, he made Howard embarrassed.
One time, Lin Yi made an arc with his right foot. If Howard's fingertips hadn't touched the edge, he might have scored directly.
"It took less than four months to hone the accuracy of his shooting. This kid is just like a madman." Brito muttered to himself on the sidelines.
Mourinho heard this, but didn't say anything, because his mind was full of the scene of the kid training hard in front of the goal every afternoon.
God has endowed that little guy with extraordinary talent, and that kid is also polishing himself with superhuman endurance. This may be the reward of hard work.
When you have a genius like Maradona, plus Beckenbauer's madness, then you will be one step closer to success.
When Bart dealt with Lin Yi, he really had no way. He even changed his usual steady character and began to use fouls to curb Lin Yi.
However, he was really not as good as Keane in terms of fouling. Although his foot was also fierce, he just couldn't step on the point. Sometimes he was even used by Lin Yi because of his excessive movements and was easily thrown away. What's worse, this guy received a yellow card for a tackle.
It was originally a good breakthrough opportunity, but Lin Yi was one step faster than Bart, which made Bart only use a shovel to stop his breakthrough.
This made Ferguson loudly express his dissatisfaction to the referee on the sidelines. In the eyes of the old man, this was just a normal defense.
But the referee was not blind. He saw very clearly that Butt's foot hooked Lin Yi's calf. This kind of foul could be immediately punished with a card.
But the heated confrontation on the field made the referee dare not be careless. Even if Ferguson yelled at him on the sidelines, he did not show mercy.
And the referee also warned Ferguson that if the old man spoke rudely again, the referee promised to give him the next red card directly.
Although there was a huge booing at the referee in the Old Trafford stadium, Ferguson could only shut up temporarily. He didn't want to be sent off.
If he was not on the sidelines, it is estimated that no one in the Manchester United coaching bench could calm the situation, especially against Mourinho.
Ferguson thought that his change of formation would catch Mourinho off guard, but after Manchester United scored a goal, the guy found a way instead.
In particular, he made Porto's frontcourt press forward, and Maniche returned to the wing from the defensive midfielder position. The most important thing was that Lin Yi was freed by him and became a pure free man in the frontcourt. This important adjustment instantly pushed Manchester United's midfield back.
Fletcher and Djemba began to support Scholes less and less, and the ginger head's space to get the ball became much smaller than in the opening stage.
Manchester United, who had once occupied the midfield control in the first 30 minutes, was taken back by the opponent this time.
Ferguson had to be wary of the Portuguese's tactical adjustment ability, which was not only sharp, but also had a wolf-like sense of smell.
That guy always finds the most suitable position to bite, and he can control his sharpest teeth to aim at that fatal position.
Now the middle road guarded by Bart and Fletcher has become the most dangerous section, and the original three-back formation is now a bit torn apart.
Deco just dragged Djemba to move with him, while Bart and Fletcher were completely led by Lin Yi to stroll around.
Don't follow? Bart wanted not to follow Lin Yi, but he didn't dare to. He was so slippery even if he followed that kid. If he didn't follow, who knows what would happen.
But a kind person like Bart, the consequence of chasing Lin Yi is that he will be fooled by that loach-like kid and be in danger of being sent off at any time.
Just like the foul just now, you can't say that the referee's punishment is too severe. For such a life-and-death game, he dare not be careless.
This kind of preventive penalty finally made the players on the field calmer, but Bart's yellow card still worried Ferguson.
He didn't want to repeat the scene of Fortune being sent off in the last game. It was because of that guy's dismissal that the balance of the game was tilted.
Moreover, his team now only has such a main defensive midfielder. If he is sent off, Fletcher and Djemba alone can't defend.
It was already difficult for Butt to deal with Lin Yi alone. If he gets another yellow card, maybe Manchester United will face collapse again.
But now Ferguson can't think of any good way. In the last game, Butt was tortured by Lin Yi, and this game is still the same.
But Ferguson can only let this kind and honest man stick to the defensive midfielder position. The old man can only pray that the referee will show mercy.
Now Ferguson is a little resentful of Keane's red card. If this guy can be on the court, he won't have such worries.
After all, facing the fierce offensive of Porto, the two newcomers Fletcher and Djemba still seem a little flustered when dealing with it.
Especially now that Deco and Lin Yi have started to cooperate again, the two guys' position-changing attacks caught Fletcher and his team off guard.
These young people are indeed much more diligent than veterans in running, but their experience has also become a problem, especially in defense.
Fletcher and Djemba are very fierce, but there are also many defensive loopholes behind this fierceness, especially when they rush out to intercept the ball, there is always a worrying hidden danger. When the offensive wave of the Porto team is set off, there is always a danger of collapse.
At this time, Ferguson missed the tough play of the Irishman the most. If that guy was on the field, the three midfielders would definitely be able to completely strangle the double front midfielders of Lin Yi and Deco. Even if they couldn't get them all, he could guarantee that at least one person would be completely ineffective.
But now Ferguson can only think about it. The tough guy is now sitting in the stands. I don't know if he regrets it now.
Watching Bart being repeatedly fooled by Lin Yi, Keane could only clench his fists, but he couldn't help at all, a kind of helpless depression.
Lin Yi's fierce counterattack made Manchester United fans feel frightened, and even the commentator on the scene didn't have the heart to tease the opponent.
The commentator on the scene bet that "if this little guy comes to Manchester United in the summer, he will definitely be beaten up by Butt, Fletcher and others when he enters the team. It's not for anything else, just because they are almost crazy because of Lin Yi on this night."
How to keep a close eye on that kid, this question has been turning around in Ferguson's mind for a long time, and he probably hasn't come up with any good ideas now.
The only thing Ferguson can do now is to try to let the team attack as much as possible, and don't guard in front of his own goal, which will make him completely passive.
Although Lin Yi and Deco are always threatening Howard's goal, Ferguson knows that if he doesn't press forward, he is waiting to die.
He hasn't forgotten the lesson at the Dragon Stadium. If he retreats after taking the lead, then what awaits Manchester United may be another reversal.
Last time, Manchester United retreated after taking the lead, and then they were beaten up by the Portuguese lunatics in the half.
Now Ferguson doesn't want to repeat that bad scene. Don't forget, this is at Old Trafford, and the old Sir Alex can't afford to lose face.
The old Sir Alex doesn't want to enjoy being booed by 80,000 fans. Even if he retreats to defend, it will cause dissatisfaction among the home fans.
At this time, he must attack, even if there are various hidden dangers in his back line, but he can't think about so many things at this moment.
Only by burning the war to the vicinity of the midfield can the safety of the goal be guaranteed, so even if Manchester United is leading, their attack continues.
Now Ferguson doesn't want to play a victory chase. He must ensure that the opponent is dragged in the midfield instead of letting those guys press over.
This stubborn old man dare not try the defensive counterattack again. He has seen the offensive frenzy of that kid and Porto.
And Porto's attack is still continuing, and the rampage of that black-haired kid is still continuing.
I don’t know whether the glory of Old Trafford can be maintained. The old Sir Alex Ferguson, who is in a precarious situation, can only watch silently.
(Wang Zhizhi, thank you... it was those idiots in the Basketball Association who slowed you down. I am speechless for your lost youth. I wish you good luck!)
