Starting from Manchester United, starting with Maguire

Chapter 20

In the second round knockout match between the Champions League and Atletico Madrid, Manchester United still played 4-2-3-1, but the position of the defensive midfielder in charge of midfield defense was changed from Gao Changfeng to the fine-footed Brazilian teenager Fred. The poor right midfielder Rashford was also replaced by the teenager Elanga.

On the other hand, at Atletico Madrid, Simeone deserves to be called a "bandit handsome". After confirming that the enemy's "midfield interceptor" Gao Changfeng was not there, he decisively gave up the "defensive counterattack" that Atletico Madrid has always followed. -3-1-4 offensive strong defensive weak formation is quite ready to stir up the situation in the enemy's home court.

Felix and Griezmann partnered with two strikers; Koke and DePaul double central midfielders; Renan Lodi and Marcos Llorente left and right midfielders; Hector Herrera single midfielder; Reni The three central defenders of Erdo, Jimenez and Savage; the goalkeeper is still captain Jan Oblak.

It seems that Simeone is going to use "high position oppression" to defeat "high position oppression" this time, and completely kill Manchester United, which is now in desperate need of success, in the monstrous theater of dreams.

Before the start of the game, the camera showed Gao Changfeng sitting on the bench with a look of despair on his face. Football commentator Zhan Jun felt sorry for him: "Oh, it seems that Gao Changfeng, the future of our national football team, still failed to get a starting seat, but he It is still our pride, and we hope he can come off the bench. Come on, Gao Changfeng!"

After the game started, the two teams started a fierce confrontation.

Cristiano Ronaldo still enjoys the "VIP treatment" of Atletico Madrid. As long as he holds the ball, a central defender and two midfielders from the enemy will come forward to double-team him. Difficult to pass or cross.

But how can Ronaldo be afraid of difficulties?After completing a hat-trick in the game against Tottenham, he did not give in even in the face of a three-sided attack. He deftly bounced the ball on his legs and moved forward, trying to find opportunities to send high-altitude long passes for wide players.

In the first 5 minutes of the match, the two sides won and lost each other. In the absence of a defensive midfielder, Manchester United's back line was shocked, and Atletico Madrid was almost penetrated in the multiple connections between Ronaldo and Elanga. line of defense.

After 5 minutes of testing each other, Simeone has already figured out the way of Manchester United: without Gao Changfeng to build a midfield barrier, their defense is simply vulnerable, and the offensive end also relies too much on Ronaldo. As long as it prevents Manchester United from dying There won't be many chances to score.

"Come on, press me up, let me go!" After seeing Manchester United's weakness, Simeone decisively gave orders, allowing the Atletico Madrid players to attack boldly.

As for the legendary "Godfather of Modern Football" Rangnick, he still frowned and carefully observed the game situation, adhering to the concept of "responsive to all changes with the same" and did not make any tactical adjustments.

Seeing that Manchester United is gradually falling into a disadvantage, Gao Changfeng's face is ashamed, and his first goal after traveling to this football world will end in failure due to the hateful "locker room conflict". How can he, who has always refused to admit defeat, accept this ending?

Seeing that Maguire was dazzled by Felix, who is delicate in footwork, the commentator Zhan Jun said anxiously: "Oh, without Gao Changfeng, Manchester United's defense is about to be overwhelmed. Rangnick is against Gao Changfeng." Do you have any opinions? Why can't you kill him?"

The camera showed Gao Changfeng's pale face, and Zhan Jun continued: "Oh, Gao Changfeng was in a hurry. Obviously he realized that the balance of victory was gradually leaning towards Atletico Madrid. It's a pity that killing the thief with the intention of killing the thief will not bring it back. Rangnick doesn't need him!"

"You don't seem to be in a good mood?"

Gao Changfeng's cell phone rang suddenly, it was a WeChat message from Ye Xiaowei.

"Well, it's nothing, I just had some conflicts with my teammates and couldn't play."

Gao Changfeng didn't know why, but he told Ye Xiaowei the contradictions in the Manchester United dressing room that he usually didn't dare to mention, as if the two were friends who talked about everything.

If the contradictions in Manchester United's dressing room are confirmed by other teams, they will face a more brutal situation with their poor record.

"Is there really no chance to play?"

Gao Changfeng couldn't answer this question, so he simply changed the subject: "Is there really no chance to invite you to dinner?"

"See if you can make it to the World Cup! Maybe I'll agree if I feel better."

Gao Changfeng's earthy face finally broke into a smile. Life is unsatisfactory in all likelihood, so why bother to worry about things?

Even if it can help Manchester United pass Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, what next?
Real Madrid, Manchester City, Villarreal, Bayern, Benfica, Liverpool, Chelsea, I am afraid that only Benfica and Villarreal Manchester United can win the top 8 draw. What are the chances of going further?

Anyway, they will be eliminated sooner or later. Why don't you think that you will help the national football team enter the World Cup again after 20 years.

During the conversation between Gao Changfeng and Ye Xiaowei, Felix pretended to dribble to the left, and then lightly kicked the ball to the right with his left foot. A strong shot against Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea was bravely resolved by the opponent.

Although this shot did not score a goal, it also shocked the Manchester United players into a cold sweat. It was just 12 minutes into the game!

Rangnick, who had been in the "hang up" state, called a timeout as if waking up from a dream. He was so flustered that he forgot to call Gao Changfeng to warm up and replaced McTominay, who was a bit lost in the game.

[Primary goal: win the game, talent points × 5; this victory Manchester United will advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, football skills × 1
Secondary goals: complete an assist, talent point x 2; complete ten passes, talent point x 1]

Gao Changfeng looked up at the timer. In the 12th minute, he clearly remembered that Atletico Madrid made a mistake in the backcourt and gave Erlanga a chance to score. Unfortunately, his shot hit Oblak's face.

Although I don't know if that will happen, Gao Changfeng has to take a gamble. Although he doesn't have a strong offensive ability, since he is on the stage, he must go all out to contribute value to the team.

Watching Gao Changfeng slowly walk onto the field, not only his fans are happy, but also the Manchester United players who have been exhausted in the hands of Atletico Madrid have once again seen hope.

Conflicts come from conflicts, and they can clearly distinguish the importance of the game. If the league loses a few points because of conflicts, they can comfort themselves to recover in the next game. If they lose the Champions League knockout due to internal conflicts, it is not worth it.

Facing the invading La Liga team, Manchester United's chaotic locker room once again united in unison. No matter how far they can go in the Champions League, they must fight hard, even if they can only smell the smell of the Big Ears Cup .

After successfully defending the corner kick, Gao Changfeng resolutely gave up his position and accelerated forward to the enemy's penalty area. After Sancho got the ball, he quickly moved forward with the ball along the left side.

Since Atletico Madrid players had carefully analyzed Manchester United's game video before the game, they decided that Gao Changfeng was not capable of threatening the goal guarded by Oblak, and focused all their attention on Sancho and Ronaldo, who was actively advancing forward. On the four of Elanga and B Fei.

Sancho took advantage of the two midfielders of the enemy to block him before using the left reverse foot to transfer the ball to the weak right side. However, his reverse foot ability was too poor and the ball passed was erratic, and B Fei himself had poor basic skills , and directly stopped the ball to Atletico Madrid's left midfielder Renan Lodi.

When everyone thought that this counterattack was ruined, Ronaldo, who was active in running, had already quietly approached and attacked Renan Lodi from behind and grabbed the ball again. It was too late to make too many adjustments. Resolutely move forward and push forward vigorously, betting that someone can catch up.

Elanga lived up to Ronaldo's great trust, successfully throwing off Atletico Madrid defender Savage who was defending him to catch up with the football, and brought the ball all the way to the left side of the enemy's goal. At this moment, only Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak was left in front of him.

The regrettable scene appeared again. Erlanga's shot hit Oblak's face and flew to the right side of Atletico Madrid's goal. It was too late for the players to notice the danger.

Easily lift his leg to score, Manchester United 1:0 Atletico Madrid, Gao Changfeng scored in less than 1 minute after playing!

The entire Dream Theater was boiling, and teacher Zhan Jun, who was far away in the east, also said excitedly to the screen: "Oh my god, he scored a goal in less than 1 minute on the field! Gao Changfeng, he is using actions to fight back against the coach's distrust of him. You You are our hero, you are the hope of the national football team!"

After Gao Changfeng scored the goal, he hugged his teammates to celebrate, then mustered up the courage to run to the camera and made a gesture of "heart-to-heart" with his thumb and index finger, and finally ended the celebration with a "blow kiss".

Football commentator Zhan Jun joked: "Haha, comparing hearts and blowing kisses, is this a confession to one of my sweethearts? It's really wind and dust, and love is entwined with the hero's body!"

That's right, Gao Changfeng was expressing his love to Ye Xiaowei, thanking her for comforting him in his most upset moment.

After watching Gao Changfeng's celebration, Ye Xiaowei blushed with shame, and felt endless joy in her heart. In the distant England game, sending love and blowing kisses thousands of miles away, maybe this is what belongs to football players Be romantic.

As the total score fell behind, Atletico Madrid pressed the offense more intensely, which also made their already understrength defense even more precarious. The connection between Ronaldo, Sancho, and Elanga became smoother and smoother.

For Gao Changfeng, all the plots he is familiar with from now on are over, and what awaits ahead is a hazy, confused but hopeful future.
