The Strongest Demon Front

Almost every technical player will encounter the same doubts when joining the Premier League.

In the high-intensity confrontation of the Premier League, can they still do it?

Premier League defenders are tall and big, they like physical confrontation, and they like to bully players who are not particularly good in physical fitness.

In addition, the scale of the Premier League is relatively loose, and referees have a relatively high tolerance for physical confrontation.

Especially some teams in the Premier League, such as Tottenham Hotspur, such as Stoke City, which Manchester United is about to face, are teams that like to use relatively large fouls when defending.

Many fans even joked that these teams played not the ball, but the players on the opposite side.

Therefore, in such a high-intensity physical confrontation, it is doubtful whether those players with good skills can still exert their technical advantages.

As strong as Messi, many people question it.

If Messi goes to the Premier League team, can he still perform so well, and will he be taught to be a man by the Premier League defenders?

There are indeed some technical players who lost themselves in the Premier League environment.

but.

With more and more skilled players and excellent coaches in the Premier League in recent years, the style of the league is also changing.

The "roughness" ridiculed by fans has become more and more delicate now.

Players with excellent foot skills like David Silva, Ozil, Coutinho, De Bruyne, and Hazard have not only gained a firm foothold in the Premier League, but also become players in the top teams in the Premier League. core force.

The topic of whether technical players can gain a foothold in the Premier League has gradually faded.

However, compared with other leagues, the power and intensity of the Premier League are still their characteristics, and there are still more confrontational actions on the court.

In comparison, it is indeed more difficult for players with weaker bodies to gain a foothold in the Premier League.

Chu Ge is actually not thin.

However, limited by age and technical characteristics, it is impossible for him to train himself into a muscular man.

If you gain muscle like Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic,

It will lose the flexibility and speed of the body.

Ronaldo's body is more inclined to play as a center forward or a pseudo-center forward. This is his choice after transformation.

Chu Ge is different from him.

Chu Ge is good at speed, dribbling and personal breakthrough.

Although he often cuts into the penalty area to shoot, in essence, Chu Ge is an assaulter, not a pure shooter.

This determines that he will not pursue the ultimate pursuit of low body fat and weight gain like Ronaldo, but pursues the most efficient physical fitness, increasing the confrontation ability as much as possible without affecting speed and flexibility.

Therefore, when encountering a strong opponent, Chu Ge will indeed suffer some losses.

This is also one of the reasons why his performance in the China national team is not as good as that of the club.

In the national team, he not only participated in more organizational work, but also often entered the penalty area to act as a center forward. Such a tactical design inevitably made Chu Ge more involved in hand-to-hand combat with the opposing defender.

In comparison, when I was in the club, there were orthodox centers.

Chu Ge can move more flexibly, use his teammates to restrain the defender, and avoid frequent confrontation with the opponent's defender. This is also the strategy he often adopted in previous games.

So far, so good.

However, for Chu Ge, Stoke City is indeed a big test.

Compared with Stoke City, Manchester United's previous opponents are relatively polite.

Stoke City was different.

They are "awe-inspiring".

Potter's most typical foul was in a game in 2010, Shawcross shoveled fiercely against Arsenal hopeful Ramsey, which directly caused Ramsey to break his leg and almost ended his career.

When Ramsey suffered a broken leg, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger even turned around, not daring to look at the tragedy.

It was a complete tragedy.

Fortunately, Ramsey's mental quality is excellent, and he gradually recovered from that injury bit by bit, and he did not completely slump.

However, that injury also caused the once talented boy to set back his career by at least five or six years.

The example of Ramsey has sounded a wake-up call for all the teams that played against Stoke City.

For potters, try to protect yourself as much as possible.

Before the game against Stoke City, Ferguson also told Chu Ge to pay attention.

It is the first time for Chu Ge to come to England and he doesn't know much about Stoke City.

But Ferguson is different.

He has played against Stoke numerous times.

He is well aware of Stoke City's style and how to deal with such an opponent.

In the targeted training, Ferguson even allowed the defenders to foul Chu Ge and other frontcourt players, so that the forwards could adapt to the style of play similar to Stoke City in advance.

October 2.

The day after National Day.

Manchester United ushered in Stoke City.

The match was scheduled for twelve noon local time in Manchester.

Some media said that this is because the National Day is on the other side of the ocean. In order to attract people, the FA deliberately arranged Chu Ge's game to score at noon, so that it would be more convenient for Asian audiences to watch.

Whether it is true or not is not very clear.

However, the FA may indeed make such an arrangement for market considerations.

A game at noon still attracted 76,000 fans to watch the game.

Old Trafford is overwhelmed again.

This season, Old Trafford's attendance rate is super high, far better than Van Gaal's last season.

For this reason, San Dezi is smiling every day.

Especially when he saw Chu Ge.

His flickering eyes seemed to be seeing a golden mountain of gold and silver.

In this game, Ferguson continued the lineup of the previous league game.

Martial and Rooney are still on the bench, while Rashford and Mata are on the stage.

Chu Ge still appeared on the right side he was used to.

Opposing him was Stoke City's left-back Peters and their left-winger Arnautovic.

At the beginning of the game, Stoke City launched a fierce defense, frequently using their bodies to attack Manchester United's players.

The first to bear the brunt are naturally some technical players such as Chu Ge, Mata, and Rashford.

They want to rush Ibrahimovic.

It turned out that the Swedish big man couldn't be moved.

That's embarrassing.

Don't look at Ibrahimovic is still thirty-five broken, he is still strong, with a weight of nearly two hundred catties and a height of 190 centimeters, so that he will not suffer in direct dialogue with any defender.

According to Ferguson's instructions, Chu Ge was basically cruising on the sidewalk.

Do not directly tangle with opposing defenders.

The technical movements are basically the most concise passing and passing.

Only when Ibra is holding back the defender's hatred, or the opponent's defender's defense is relatively weak, Chu Ge will suddenly attack, dribble the ball and try to threaten the opponent's goal.

Relying on this style of play, Chu Ge still poses a big threat to Stoke City's goal.

but.

In today's game, Stoke City's goalkeeper Grant seemed to be on the hook.

In just 20 minutes of the game, the goalkeeper blocked the threatening shots of many Manchester United players.

"Ibrahimovic! Ibrahimovic received a pass from Chu Ge, and forcibly turned around and hit the goal in the penalty area!"

"pretty!"

"Grant flew sideways and saved the Swede's shot!"

"He made a world-class save!"

"Manchester United's offensive came again. Chu Ge, Chu Ge kicked the ball, and the football reached Mata's feet."

"Strike! Mata made a fake shot and passed the ball suddenly."

"Rashford! Rashford goes into the box."

"Shoot!"

"The football was blocked by Grant again! Grant is amazing! It was a shot only about ten meters away from the goal. The ball was very fast and the quality of Rashford's shot was very high. However, it didn't bother Stoke City. The goalkeeper Grant. Just as the football was about to cross the line, Grant suddenly appeared and he blocked Rashford's inevitable goal with his hand! Another world-class save!"

"Chu Ge! Chu Ge dribbled the ball along the right side. He passed a person."

"Shawcross charged. He shoveled!"

"Chu Ge jumped lightly and avoided Shawcross' flying shovel. However, the football was also kicked out by Shawcross."

"Shawcross seemed a bit big on the tackle."

"Today Chu Ge is very restricted in holding the ball. Every time he takes the ball, Stoke City players will rush over immediately and use relatively large defensive moves to interfere with Chu Ge. In such a fierce defense Under the pressure, Chu Ge's game state today is a bit average. He hasn't even hit the goal yet."

Compared with other Manchester United players, Zhan Jun is obviously more concerned about Chu Ge.

When explaining Chu Ge, he will analyze a few more sentences.

And at this time.

Witnessing Shawcross's flying shovel this time, Chu Ge fans who watched the game complained a little.

"It's Shawcross again (beep). Every time I see him defending Chu Ge, my heart trembles."

"Where is he making a tackle? He is clearly running towards people. This is not calling a foul. Is the referee blind?"

"Although I got the ball, I still have to say that Stoke City is really dirty!"

"As an Arsenal fan, I must say, gtnnd's Shawcross!"

Just when Manchester United failed to attack many times in the frontcourt, an unexpected situation occurred.

Towards the end of the first half, Stoke used a ferocious press to knock down Rashford in a one-half confrontation and snatch the football.

They took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.

Glenn Johnson advanced at high speed down their right.

At this time, Blind's assist did not come in time, and Manchester United's defense on the left was empty.

Kanter defended the past.

Glen Johnson used a one-two approach to get rid of Kanter, broke into the penalty area, and kicked the football towards the Manchester United goal with a strong shot.

De Gea makes a save.

Joe Allen followed up with a supplementary shot and kicked the football into the empty goal.

0:1.

Manchester United are one goal behind.

pitch side.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes raised his arms, very excited.

On the pitch, Stoke City players rushed to halftime, celebrating wildly.

"Manchester United were punished for squandering chances."

In the Sky Sports studio, Carragher said with a smile when he saw Stoke City scoring the first goal.

As a commentator, Carragher is undoubtedly neutral.

But he is Liverpool after all.

Seeing Manchester United being scored, Carragher's heart is dark, just like all Liverpool fans.

Gary Neville, who was sitting next to him, had a dignified expression.

"Manchester United had five wins and one loss in the first six games this season. The results are very good. However, if they lose to Stoke City, they will suffer their second loss of the season." Neville's words were a bit bitter.

"To be precise, it was the third loss. In the Europa League, they also lost to Feyenoord." Carragher added skillfully.

Neville:

"Of course, Manchester United still has the opportunity and time to tie the score and even overtake the game after only one goal behind. Now it depends on whether they can correctly deal with Stoke City's fierce pressing, and the forwards still need to work harder. Take advantage of the opportunity to attack."

Neville is trying to find a way for Manchester United.

Carragher reminded again: "However, according to the statistics of this season, Manchester United lost all the games where they conceded the goal first."

Neville:

"Moreover, Stoke City goalkeeper Grant's performance today is too good. He is simply the invincible patron saint in front of Stoke City's goal. With such a goalkeeper in excellent condition, Stoke City has a lot to play in this game. hope."

Neville:

"Let me just say, when this group of young people from Manchester United meet Stoke City, they will definitely be in trouble."

In the newsroom of the Liverpool Sound News, senior editor Bobby Smith laughed.

He pointed at the TV screen, turned around, and said to his colleagues: "Look at that No. 7, who was hit by Shawcross and flew out. Idiot! Coward! Football is purely a man's game, man? Get it Is it? That means confrontation, that is, face-to-face, with real knives and guns! What's the use of being good-looking if you can't bump into others?!"

"I've said it a long time ago, in the Premier League, that kid can't do it!"

Just as the editor was complacently and frothingly delivering his high-spirited speeches, a small editor beside him tugged on his sleeve and reminded him.

"Bobby Manchester United's No. 7 doesn't seem to be knocked into the air. He rushed out of the wing, bypassed the defense, and scored a goal. Just like Bell did in the Spanish national derby. If you don't believe me, look at the screen, he It's past Shawcross."

The editor pointed at the TV screen and said.

"What?"

Bobby Smith quickly turned around and looked at the screen.

His face suddenly changed.

"Look, No. 7 has run so far, and Shawcross is still chasing after him. The more they chase, the farther they are, and Shawcross's speed is obviously not fast enough! That No. 7 is too strong! I think At first glance, I thought it was Bell!"

During the conversation.

Chu Ge had already penetrated into the restricted area from the side.

"Chu! Chu! Chu!"

Gary Neville's urgent voice was heard on the TV.

"Shoot!"

Swish!

A white light shines from Chu Ge's feet.

Football is like thunder.

Blast at Old Trafford.

Grant, who played extremely well in this game, flew sideways for the first time, but he didn't stop the flash of white light.

call!

The football roared, crossed the goal line and hit the far side netting.

The ball went in!

"The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball is in!"

In the studio, Neville shouted excitedly at Carragher.

Carragher wiped the drool off his face.

What else can I say?

Just keep smiling at this time.

boom!

Old Trafford was buzzing.

"Chu! Chu goal!"

The fans shouted Chu Ge's name in unison.

Rumbling applause exploded over the stadium like thunder.

"At the end of the first half, it was Chu Ge, and it was Chu Ge! He went to the meeting alone, he rode through the barrier alone, he ran thousands of miles, and he scored the equalizer goal for Manchester United!"

"This is an unparalleled personal raid!"

"Break past Shawcross, go straight to Huanglong, with a precise and powerful push, Chu Ge rescued Manchester United from the plight of falling behind."

"This is Chu Ge!"

Zhan Jun raised his arms and cheered.
