Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

It is not a coincidence that Li Ang pulled Modric to quickly penetrate Manchester United's midfield defense.

Mourinho could tell at a glance that Li Ang was using the midline assault tactics deployed by the coaching staff when they played against Arsenal in the last round.

And the effect looks almost the same as when Real Madrid played Arsenal before!

Mourinho didn't know whether this situation was beyond Ferguson's expectations, but he was indeed surprised.

Because in his opinion, Carrick's ability as a defensive midfielder is quite good.

Don't look at the fact that fans always judge Carrick to be soft, mediocre and unlikeable.

But in fact, this is a defensive midfielder with a relatively balanced offense and defense and first-class organizational ability.

Carrick's defense did have quite a few problems in his early years, but he was not originally an engineering midfielder who specialized in defense.

As his age has increased in the past two years, Carrick has reached his peak level at Manchester United, and his defensive level has also improved with his experience.

Admittedly, Carrick's speed remains the biggest flaw in his defensive ability.

His speed will become a vulnerability in Manchester United's midfield when encountering opponents with strong mobility and impact.

But the Anderson and Cleverley placed beside him by Ferguson made up for Carrick's lack of lateral movement speed.

Compared with Arsenal, Manchester United's midfield combination looks more balanced on paper in terms of offense and defense.

Nani and Ashley Young, including Valencia, can also move in more timely to assist Carrick in defense.

Therefore, Mourinho's tactical choice at the opening was relatively safe.

Maybe it's really out of respect for the name "Ferguson".

Mourinho subconsciously underestimated Manchester United's hard power by half.

And Li Ang is now using a strong force to clear his head coach's mind.

It's not that Carrick is bad, but the two midfielders who partnered with him today were even more defensive and couldn't protect him at all!

So after some urgent tactical fine-tuning, Real Madrid changed its previous posture of sticking to the wings and making up for the defense in the midfield, and directly switched from defense to offense!

If your opponent's tactics and player strength have shortcomings, then you must take advantage of them!

Mourinho never misses an opportunity to exploit such flaws.

Can Li Ang and Modric complete the new offensive tactics?

"For a team like this that can't protect its core, we have to attack their midfield so hard that they have to realize the importance of midfield defense."

After Li Ang received Mourinho's tactical adjustment instructions, he rubbed his hands and cheered Modric excitedly.

Modric felt somewhat unsure, mainly because he had lost too many times against Manchester United in the Premier League.

But Li Ang is so confident now, and the head coach has made a decision. Modric is heartbroken and just rush!

"After I broke up Manchester United's midfield defense formation, you try to find a way to find opportunities in the rib areas on both sides to advance forward. After receiving the ball, you look for Karim to cooperate in front of the penalty area."

After defending another wing attack from Manchester United, Li Ang took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to make the final communication with Modric.

Seeing Modric nod to indicate that he understood, Li Ang devoted himself to the battle for the ball in the midfield and wing.

Rooney's starting position today is still the midfielder, with Anderson moving on his left side.

When defending, Anderson will return to the center, and Rooney will pull to the side to help Evra withstand Di Maria's counterattack.

In terms of confrontation, Rooney has a much better advantage than Anderson. Di Maria made several breakthrough attempts at the beginning but was forced back by Lu Xiaopang's body.

But at this moment, when Li Ang also responded with tough confrontation, Rooney's advancement with the ball on the offensive end became quite uncomfortable.

In terms of pure confrontation ability, Li Ang is actually not Rooney's opponent now, but he is physically better and more difficult to deal with!

This is the same as when Li Ang pestered Messi before.

With his explosive speed, Li Ang is definitely no match for Messi, but his excellent position selection and candy-like defensive tenacity can make Messi feel uncomfortable no matter how he plays.

Rooney can burst into a fierce rush and force Li Ang to retreat, but this embarrassment is not a problem at all for Li Ang.

Just push it open and put it back on again!

He just wants to pester Rooney. If he can't fight with explosive power, then he should try to exert continuous force!

After doing this several times, Rooney felt depressed.

He's a bit hard to describe in terms of durability, and the probability of losing the ball after exhaustion will inevitably increase.

Li Ang's shots were fast and hard. After stealing the ball from Rooney for the second time in the first half, Li Ang did not choose to pass the ball back immediately.

He chose to lead the ball and move forward quickly!

From his own defensive third zone to the midline, Li Ang burst forward and almost withstood Anderson's immediate defensive interference and rushed into the Manchester United half!

At the moment when he was pulled away, Li Ang's questioning look of "Can you do it?" made Anderson furious.

But now he can only be incompetent and furious.

He couldn't withstand the confrontation and couldn't keep up with the speed. This time he and Cleverley made the same mistake, failing to commit a tactical foul in time.

So Li Ang alone stirred up almost the entire defense deployment of Manchester United!

Nanine recovered and pursued, and Cleverley was taken away by Di Maria's wide movement.

Li Ang looked at Carrick who was helplessly pressing out and approaching him, grinned, and quickly distributed the ball to Modric, who was already in the rib area on the left side of the Manchester United half!

Magic Flute, who was overjoyed, still remembered Li Ang's explanation before.

Cooperating with Benzema can change Ferdinand's defensive position.

As long as Ferdinand is attracted by Benzema's defensive attention, neither Rafael nor Evans, who is filling in, will be an opponent of Ronaldo who is running diagonally.

Even though he has only played with Ronaldo for more than half a year, Modric already fully trusts Ronaldo's ability to seize opportunities in the penalty area.

After passing the ball to Benzema who retreated to the line of the penalty area, Modric moved laterally in the opposite direction, quickly running from the rib area on the left side of the penalty area to the right.

Benzema took the ball with his back, Ferdinand stepped forward to intercept, but Benzema protected the ball and then passed the ball back.

Not for Modric who is running, but for Li Ang who is using the magic flute to cover and move forward!

This series of forward passes in the penalty area cooperated with Real Madrid's smooth play, and Li Ang also received the ball without stopping and continued to advance!

Ferdinand pressed out, Ronaldo took the opportunity to raise his hand and run diagonally. Evans and Rafael immediately double-teamed.

Li Ang, who originally thought of sending a through ball, quickly changed his mind when he saw this scene.

Ferguson knew Ronaldo well.

Judging from this defensive arrangement alone, even after Ronaldo left Manchester United, Ferguson has been paying attention to Ronaldo's growth and performance.

He is well aware of Ronaldo's current habit of moving before shooting from the wing into the penalty area.

Manchester United's defense also took good care of Ronaldo.

But they still made a big mistake.

They let Li Ang hold the ball and enter their shooting range, and there are no defender restrictions!

Manchester United dared to shoot, and Li Ang naturally had no psychological burden to dare to try.

The proficient use of his left foot is not a problem for Li Ang. After all, he has been intentionally training his left foot ability since the beginning of his professional youth training.

He's not good at fine shooting yet, and he doesn't have the ability with both feet yet.

But he has the confidence to shoot uninterrupted from a distance of less than 20 meters from the goal!

The adjustment and force preparation were completed almost instantly, and Li Ang's left calf quickly moved forward after a small swing!

There are no kicking flaws and no weak legs.

A powerful and heavy kick from outside the penalty area and a volley from the far corner!

Li Ang almost completed this shot at the risk of having a high probability of missing the football.

He had to do the same.

Because it is De Gea who is standing in front of Manchester United's gate at this moment.

A young, talented and confident De Gea!

This handsome Spanish guy, who is fully qualified to compete for the first team in the world at some point in the future, has very good goal-line skills.

Therefore, Li Ang chose not to leave any room for error for himself, and at the same time, he also did not leave any room for De Gea!

At this time, De Gea's confidence, standing in front of Manchester United's gate, also declined rapidly with the violence of football.

He pounced on the far corner of the goal without any hesitation.

But the ball is still too fast!

De Gea's heart trembled. At this moment, he only felt Li Ang's determination!

"This is a ruthless person who doesn't care that he might be embarrassed."

After such a thought flashed through his mind, De Gea felt the strong wind brought by the football passing by his fingertips that were still wearing gloves.

After all, the speed at which he turned his head could not keep up with the speed at which the football penetrated into the net above the goal!

The ball was so fast that after scoring, Li Ang started roaring and running along the sideline. Many commentators were stunned for a second!

Zhan Jun is no exception, but his passion after being stunned is also extremely strong!

"Oh my God! There was thunder on the ground——!!! The ball was scored! Li Ang——!!! He used the most unusual way to his usual style to score the most exciting goal so far in this round of the Champions League!!!

De Gea's reaction was already very fast, but it was too late! This is a super shot that leaves absolutely no escape route for yourself and absolutely no chance for your opponent!

A complete world wave! ! ! Real Madrid takes a 1-0 lead at Old Trafford! Only twelve minutes into the game, Li Ang! Opening the scoring for Real Madrid! ! ! "

The Manchester United fans at Old Trafford seemed to have their vocal cords strangled at this moment, and their singing and cheering suddenly stopped.

But the 10,000-year-old Real Madrid expedition fans jumped wildly and cheered in the stands!

Underneath this white wave, Li Ang ran wildly for nearly thirty meters before kneeling down with passion and opening his arms at the same time!

Mourinho watched Li Ang's goal. First he covered his head in disbelief and surprise, and then he did the same celebration as Li Ang.

Yes, after many years, Mourinho's figure is once again running passionately on the sidelines of Old Trafford!

As soon as the Manchester United fans who had recovered from their nerves saw Mourinho's unrestrained celebration, their brains quickly regained consciousness.

They began to give warm greetings and strong boos to Mourinho and Li Ang!

Cristiano Ronaldo reacted after trotting with the same excitement for a while. He suppressed the passion in his chest and watched his teammates swarm up first and drown Li Ang.

After everyone had celebrated passionately, Ronaldo smiled and gave Li Ang a big hug.

"Chris, just laugh if you want to, don't hold yourself back."

Seeing Ronaldo restraining his emotions, Li Ang couldn't help but make a joke.

Ronaldo didn't say anything after hearing this, and silently slapped Li Ang's back harder with his hand.

He was already feeling uncomfortable holding it back at this moment, and Li Ang was teasing him, but he was just watching the excitement and it was not too big a deal.

Real Madrid was in a state of jubilation. They took the lead very early, and they were too dominant at the tactical level later on.

The players on Manchester United's field and their coaching bench were agitated.

Ferguson obviously did not expect this situation to occur.

For Benzema and Ronaldo, Manchester United's defense gave full "care" today, but who would have thought that Li Ang would suddenly stand up and score a goal?

At first, Ferguson tried to calm down and think calmly about the next tactical adjustment.

But after he figured out Real Madrid's offensive launch mode, he felt that his mood became even worse.

Goals are the final result.

But what caused the flaw in Manchester United's defense and allowed Li Ang to take off easily was the breakdown of the midfield defense in front of Carrick!

If Ferguson remembers correctly, before this goal occurred.

In just twelve minutes, Real Madrid completely penetrated Manchester United's central defense twice.

Another time, Modric's counterattack attempt was destroyed by Rooney who retreated.

When Rooney was unable to retreat immediately, Cleverley and Anderson both made big defensive mistakes when facing Leon.

This is definitely not a coincidence. Ferguson has a strong feeling in his heart that this is definitely a targeted tactical advancement by Real Madrid.

After the game restarted, Real Madrid's choice to speed up further confirmed Ferguson's conjecture.

Cleverley was okay after he retreated and settled into position. The key was Anderson. This kid didn't know what was wrong with him today, and he directly clashed with Li Ang.

Cleverley and Carrick stick to the center line, but Anderson wants to take the initiative to confront Li Ang on both ends of the offense and defense.

It's really hard to go up and down.

At this time, Anderson is no longer the high-spirited Brazilian golden boy he was a few years ago. His skills have barely grown, and his physical fitness has declined seriously.

Ronaldo felt very sorry for the fall of one of his friends.

But after receiving Li Ang's pass from Anderson in the first half, he didn't hesitate at all to take action.

A long-range shot from the left edge of the penalty area was equally powerful and heavy, testing De Gea's saving skills.

Although Real Madrid missed the goal, Sir Alex Ferguson, who had given Anderson enough opportunities, had already made up his mind.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Ferguson replaced Anderson with Jones who had finished warming up, and changed the starting formation from 4,33 to 4,231.

Carrick and Jones partnered as a double midfielder, Rooney remained in the center, and Cleverley moved to the left side of the midfield.

After this change, Manchester United's central defense is finally stable.

After spending a pretty good debut season at Manchester United last season, Jones' defensive talent and strong physical fitness have made him a future defensive pillar in the eyes of Manchester United fans.

In addition to being injured too frequently, the 21-year-old Jones is the kind of defensive genius that almost all wealthy teams like.

Mainly playing as a central defender, he can also perform very well defensively at right back and midfielder positions.

Excellent in confrontation, fast, and with a desperate temperament, his presence always inspires his teammates to invest more passion on the defensive end.

Carrick can finally organize and sort out the offense in the backcourt with peace of mind.

But Real Madrid will not take the initiative to attack now.

After gaining a one-goal advantage, Mourinho was watching Ferguson's tactical adjustments.

After Ferguson chose to replace Anderson with a defensive player, Mourinho made a prompt decision.

Chosen a contraction formation!

Ferguson was so old that he was almost forced out by Mourinho's tricks.

Li Ang was also unkind and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth with Mourinho.

Sir Alex most likely thought that Real Madrid would continue to take the initiative to attack, so he replaced Jones to prepare for a counterattack.

What's the result? Hehe, you didn't expect that Real Madrid would also fight Manchester United's counterattack!

When Anderson was on the court before, although the defense was indeed useless, he was able to participate in the offense with the overall forward pressure of the formation.

But now that Jones is on the field, Manchester United's midfielder is destined to lack the strength to press the organization.

Both he and Carrick are more comfortable playing in their own half.

Of course Carrick can press forward, but his speed is destined to make it difficult for him to return to defend in place.

So after Mourinho chose to shrink his formation to defend against counterattacks, Ferguson felt that he had been tricked.

Manchester United takes the initiative?

Carrick's forward pressure and speed disadvantage will still be used by Real Madrid to counterattack.

Continue to fight a positional war with Real Madrid?

Mourinho is so happy.

He is now eager for Manchester United to play a positional battle with Real Madrid!

Can Manchester United, which invests a small amount of offensive force, beat Real Madrid's defense?

Today is Rooney's return to the peak of last year or 10 years, and he can't do anything about Real Madrid's current defensive system!

God is here today, and Mourinho dares to say that Rooney at his peak cannot get past the two lines of defense of Anga Alonso and Peppa Ramos!

Just so confident.

If they are not afraid of you attacking, they are afraid of not attacking. If you don’t attack, where will Real Madrid’s chance to counterattack come from~

Mourinho threw this tactical problem directly to Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson resisted his impulse today and allowed the Manchester United players on the field to stabilize the situation and drag the 0-1 score to the halftime break.

But, it was just like the Champions League final in the summer of 2011.

When facing an opponent who is clearly stronger than himself, Ferguson will not choose to avoid or retreat.

The delay of more than ten minutes was just for him to better adjust his offensive tactics.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United, who replaced Welbeck, took the initiative to launch a fierce offensive attack on Real Madrid!

Carrick pressed forward anyway.

He wants to share the pressure of Rooney's offensive organization, so that Rooney can focus more on attacking Real Madrid's defense.

Mourinho, who also made a substitution at halftime, stood on the sidelines.

Modric sat on the bench, watching Essien and Li Ang sweep wildly in their own half, without any dissatisfaction about being substituted in his head.

At this moment, Manchester United's offensive started very quickly and fiercely. If he was still on the court, Real Madrid's midfield defense would never be as stable as it is at this moment.

Li Ang once again became the most dazzling Real Madrid player on the field.

His excellent defensive positioning and wide range of running coverage forced back Manchester United's multiple offensive attacks.

Essien does not need to worry about physical issues when he only plays half the game.

Manchester United's offensive players who occasionally missed it were Alonso. The defensive upper and lower limits of this midfield combination were frighteningly high.

Manchester United spent the first fifteen minutes of the second half on the offensive without stopping, but they just couldn't penetrate Real Madrid's midfield defense.

Robin van Persie and Rooney shot from outside the penalty area and one of them took a kick, which was only a slight threat to Casillas.

There are quite a few Manchester United fans who would scold Real Madrid for not daring to press out and attack.

But the hustle and bustle of the scene did not affect Mourinho's tactical determination at all.

In the 70th minute of the second half, just when all the fans thought Real Madrid would defend to the end, Mourinho stood up.

And Li Ang, who grabbed the ball at Welbeck's feet, also knocked the ball horizontally, and Alonso's guided long pass reappeared!

The long pass that passed several Manchester United midfielders cut through Manchester United's defense like a sharp blade!

When the football was stopped by Di Maria and then kicked into the sky above Manchester United's penalty area.

Ferdinand, who had no time to defend, could only see his former younger brother and comrades defeat his partner Evans and complete the header!

De Gea still tried his best to save this time. He pounced on the ball and even almost blocked it out!

But Manchester United's own goal post finally did not refuse the football's rebound and crossed the line!

2-0!

Real Madrid killed Manchester United with a textbook defensive goal!

Ferguson sat on the coaching bench and watched his beloved disciple raise his hands high and purse his lips to show that he would not celebrate.

He turned his eyes again and looked at Li Ang next to Ronaldo, his eyes full of regret! ! !

"If I had known today, I should have just thrown 30 million to knock you down! Alas."

Countless fans were like Ferguson at this moment. After watching Ronaldo scoring the goal, they all looked at Li Ang!

This Champions League, no, the last three Champions League games.

Li Ang has completely demonstrated his worth!

He is already a star who can determine the trend of the game in the Champions League!

There is one more chapter.

In the past two days, I have been looking for connections to negotiate the price of the house. I negotiated for 40,000 yuan. I expected to negotiate for 50,000 yuan. Once the negotiation was completed, I paid the deposit and down payment.

Damn it, if my mother hadn't said that I could find a relationship with the boss and get tens of thousands less, the foodie would have just given the deposit directly under the persuasion of the salesperson.

There are still so many things to worry about when buying a house, and foodies once again feel that they are still a novice in society.

I was a little busy during the day, so I could only update later these days, but I still managed to update about 10,000 words.

After discussing this matter, Foodie will release an update at the end of the month.

Thanks again to all the big guys for their support.

Special thanks also go to "Iced Watermelon Juice" and "Sanmei" for their tips.

The foodie has already thanked the leader of the "suit or white shirt" boss before.

But in fact, foodies always feel in their hearts that verbal gratitude is very powerless.

So, let’s add more updates!

From the 1st to the 5th of next month, five more chapters will be added for the "Suit or White Shirt" boss, with a total of no less than 25,000 words!
