Chapter 441 Teammates miss the ball, is it a system game?!
"Goal!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Smart movement! World-class shot!"

"This 18-year-old genius scored his first Champions League goal in his Champions League debut!"

"You know, this is the knockout round of the Champions League! The opponent we face is the Premier League giants Manchester United!"

The stands where the visiting team's fans were located had already turned into a white ocean of joy.

Yalding on the sidelines also celebrated by pumping his fist, turned around, and hugged the assistant coach, muttering:

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"This game is destined to be Killian's moment!"

Just five minutes after Ling Feng scored his first Champions League knockout goal, Mbappe also scored his first Champions League goal!

This goal not only tied the score, but also shattered countless doubts and confusions about the 18-year-old player before the game.

Why did Jardim choose the little-known Mbappe to start in the Champions League knockout match?
Here's why!
Even Mourinho on the sidelines was amazed by Mbappe's performance.

Smart movement, mature ball handling, calm finishing in front of the goal
In the first thirty minutes of the game, the performance of this 18-year-old French genius boy was like a veteran who had played a hundred Champions League games!

At the same time, Mourinho was also dissatisfied with the team's defense being torn apart so easily.

Then, he immediately waved to call the nearby right back Valencia to his side, and then
"Tell Phil (Jones) to stick close to this guy."

"Also, he is very fast, and his defense is mainly to intercept the ball behind him."

At this moment, countless Manchester United fans who witnessed Mbappe's goal took out their mobile phones and began to enter the name or surname of "Kylian Mbappe" into major search engines, trying to find relevant news and information about this 18-year-old French prodigy.

All of a sudden, "Mbappe" directly rushed into the top ten hot searches in the UK!

It was not until this time that they learned from various sports news and online messages that this kid who didn't even have a real-life profile picture in the German transfer market actually had such a background:

Mbappe, known as the "Bondi King", is an outstanding graduate of Clairefontaine, the French Devil's Youth Training Base.
He made his Ligue 16 debut at the age of 17, and won the European Under- Championship and the Silver Boot at the age of .
Before the match against Manchester United, he had already scored a hat trick in Ligue 1
This is absolutely super genius!
It is no exaggeration to say that on such a big stage as the Champions League knockout stage, facing Manchester United, which has been on a roll in the Premier League this season, he scored his first Champions League goal in this way.

This young boy with forehead wrinkles when he smiled made his name known to the European football world:
Kylian Mbappe!

Mbappe's goal did not surprise Ling Feng at all.

At this time, perhaps only Ling Feng knows how high this 18-year-old French prodigy will grow in the future.

Even though he is just a young boy who has just debuted, he should not be underestimated.

Of course, for Ling Feng, the young Mu may be very outstanding among the young players.

However, it still doesn't look good enough in front of me.

Moreover, Mbappe is not the most threatening player in Monaco.

Looking at Falcao who was touching Mbappe's head, Ling Feng's eyes showed a bit more consideration.

Because the "tiger" has not yet shown its power.
Two goals were scored within less than twenty minutes of the start of the game.

Many people have a hunch that this will definitely be a goal-scoring battle.

And the direction of the game did not disappoint them!
After equalizing the score, Monaco players were in high spirits and began to press high.

Whether it was Falcao and Mbappe, or the wingers Lemar and B Silva on both sides, they were very active in pressing the Manchester United defenders.

However, how could the Red Devils Manchester United, at home, let them take the ball so easily?

Although Manchester United's passing and control is not as sophisticated as Manchester City's.

However, this does not mean that their control
After Mourinho took over, he did not immediately change the team's tactical system. Instead, he emphasized the aggressiveness of the attack based on Van Gaal's passing and controlling tactics.

After more than half a season of transformation, the team has gradually become balanced on both offense and defense.

Of course, this is also thanks to the joining of the Foxes midfield duo Ling Feng and Kante.

The defensive midfielder combination of Herrera and Kante can control the ball and run as needed.

The two worked together to protect the back line while also allowing the front players to attack forward with more confidence.

In addition, Ling Feng's occasional retreat allowed Manchester United to always keep the ball under control.

Monaco's pressing looked very lively, as if they were about to snatch the ball.

But in fact, Manchester United kept adjusting the entire formation.

Not only that, as the overall formation pressed forward, the space exposed behind Monaco became more and more obvious.

When the game reached the 37th minute, Ling Feng dribbled the ball horizontally in the middle and suddenly raised a finger with his left hand.

Under Ling Feng's guidance, Rashford on the left understood what he meant and immediately accelerated forward!
The next second, Ling Feng swung his left foot and sent a well-timed long pass behind Monaco's defense!

"Transmit in seconds!"

Accompanied by the exclamations of the home team fans, Rashford used his speed to overtake Monaco's right-back Sidibe on the outside, and caught up with the ball that just bounced back to the ground. Then, he took advantage of the situation and rushed towards Monaco's penalty area like an indomitable red knight!

At this moment, the only thing standing between him and the goal was Monaco goalkeeper and Croatian goalkeeper Subasic!

"Rashford!"

"Single sword!"

Faced with such a great one-on-one opportunity, Rashford, who is as young as Mbappe, was a little nervous.

He did not choose to shoot at the first moment, but chose to take one more step.

It was this step that gave Subasic time to attack and also blocked his shooting angle!
Finally, seeing Subasic opening his arms like an eagle catching a chick, Rashford was a little hesitant for a moment.

Coupled with the pressure from Sidibe behind him, he had no choice but to take a lob shot in a hurry.

However, the power of the lob was too weak and was directly slapped away by Subasic!

Immediately afterwards, the defender kicked the ball away in the first place, defusing this extremely threatening attack.

Rashford, who missed a good chance to score, just held his head in his hands in frustration.

Although he was helpless in dealing with Rashford's one-on-one situation.

However, Ling Feng still gave him the first thumbs up of the game:

"Marcus! It's okay!"

Mourinho on the sidelines also applauded this wave of exquisite passing and running:

"Ling! Marcus! Great job!"

What young players need is encouragement, not criticism.

In the past, he would have been furious at players for wasting one-on-one opportunities.

However, since taking over the Red Devils, especially since coaching Ling Feng, Mourinho has become less angry. Not only because the team is invincible and singing all the way.

It’s also because Ling Feng made his coaching easier!
Missed the chance? No problem!

Because Mourinho knew very well that even if his teammates wasted this one-on-one opportunity, Ling Feng would continue to create more excellent opportunities!

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback!
Ling Feng switched to the right and, like Beckham, sent out a 45-degree diagonal pass!

The ball drew a perfect arc over Old Trafford and accurately found Ibrahimovic who was already in position in the penalty area.

The latter overpowered Polish international Glik, jumped up and headed the ball!
Just when everyone thought the ball was going to go in, it hit the goal post and flew out of the bottom line.

The next second, a sigh of regret was heard from the stands.

Ibrahimovic himself was also very annoyed and simply lowered his head and cursed in the Swedish national language.

This game is very important to him.

As he gets older, his opportunities to play in the Champions League become fewer and fewer.

He is getting further and further away from the Champions League title he has always dreamed of.

After joining Manchester United this year, he truly felt that this team has great potential and can make an impact on the big ears.

Especially Ling Feng's explosive performance made him firmly believe this.

Although I never said this in public.

However, in Ibrahimovic's heart, Ling Feng is the best passer among all his teammates he has worked with in his career.

none of them!

Therefore, in Ibrahimovic's view, as long as Ling Feng cooperates closely with him, let alone reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, even winning the Champions League is not a dream!
Of course, he didn't want to be the one being carried away.

He hopes that he can be the leader of Manchester United and lead the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League or even the final to compete for the Big Ear Cup!
Only in this way can he give a big slap to those who doubt him as a "coward in the Champions League"!

As this season's first Champions League knockout match, he certainly hopes to respond to those doubters with a goal.

However, the more you want to score a goal, the more anxious you become, and the harder it is to score.

After Rashford and Ibrahimovic missed the ball in succession, Mourinho, who was sitting in the coaching seat, frowned and suddenly had a bad premonition.

You know, wasting opportunities will be punished.
Just as he suddenly stood up and was about to go to the sidelines to give a reminder, the situation on the field suddenly changed!
Rooney, who switched to the middle, was a little slow in getting the ball and was pressed by Monaco's double defensive midfielders Fabinho and Bakayoko.

In a fierce physical confrontation, Bakayoko pushed Rooney aside and successfully intercepted the ball.

Fabinho took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack!

After dribbling the ball for several meters, the future Liverpool midfield metronome passed the ball to the left in time before Kante came up to steal the ball.

Lemar dribbled the ball along the wing, and the accelerated changes in rhythm made Valencia a little overwhelmed.

However, the experienced "Wa Bushe" still stood his ground and did not kick easily.

Seeing that he couldn't get past Valencia, Lemar didn't hesitate. He kicked the ball with the outside of his right foot and sent a 45-degree arc cross into the penalty area!
The pass just went over the head of Manchester United center back Bailly and flew into the area between the defender and the goalkeeper.

At the same time, Falcao in the penalty area performed a world-class run!
He made a diagonal run, got behind Bailey, and then gave him a tiger head shake!

With a "bang", the ball hit the grass heavily, bounced up, and flew into the far corner of the goal from De Gea's hand!
In an instant, the entire Old Trafford stadium fell silent!

All there was was the cheers and excitement of the visiting team's fans celebrating wildly!
"Perfect header!"

"Falcao! This super striker who once competed with Messi and Ronaldo for the Golden Boot in La Liga finally enjoyed a second spring in Ligue 1 after several years!"

"Monaco took the lead at the Theatre of Dreams!"

“What a great first half!”

Unexpectedly, Manchester United, who had the advantage of home court and the upper hand, was overtaken by Monaco before the end of the first half!
You know, in the first half, Manchester United had an absolute advantage in ball possession and number of shots.

The ratio of excellent chances in front of the goal was seven to three, which is twice as much as Monaco!
However, the score on the field was one to two!

With Falcao's go-ahead goal, Monaco launched another wave of attack before the end of the first half.

As the saying goes, when you are ill, you will die!

For a moment, Manchester United players were somewhat intimidated by their opponents' momentum and began to make some mistakes.

In the stoppage time, Luke Shaw's back pass was a little light and Mbappe seized the opportunity. He accelerated and pushed the ball forward before Jones could get the ball.

Then before the ball was about to go out of the baseline, he completed a horizontal pass!
Falcao arrived like a ghost and completed the encirclement!

The shot was so close, but De Gea used both hands to push the ball over the crossbar!

If it weren't for De Gea's heroic performance and the fact that the shot was at a very straight angle, the score on the field might have been rewritten.

De Gea, who made the amazing save, did not loudly blame his teammates. He just high-fived his defensive teammates and shouted loudly:
"Watch him!"

"Be careful of this wave!"

In the end, with Bailly clearing the corner kick with a header, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The score of one to two is definitely a mixture of joy and sorrow for both sides.

The good news is that Monaco scored two away goals; the sad news is that Manchester United had the advantage in the first half but still fell behind!
The team was clearly in the upper hand, but was unable to score.

The teammates' condition was confusing. Sometimes they missed the ball, and sometimes they almost made an own goal.

The opponents clearly had few chances, but they were like people with steroids, firmly grasping the only two chances they had.

This situation made Ling Feng think of the "system bureau" in football games.

When playing the FIFA football game, just as the team you control is singing all the way and killing all the enemies, the game system will recognize that you have touched the balance mechanism of the game.

Then, in order to mess with your mentality, the game will deliberately show various BUG-like disgusting operations in a certain game:

For example, the opponent's players' overall rating and attributes are not high, but they can play Barcelona-like passing and control, and pass the ball into your goal;
For example, no matter how hard you shoot, you can't shoot into the opponent's goal, but the opponent can shoot casually and it will be a world-class goal that is difficult to save!

This kind of game where you will lose no matter how hard you try is called a system game!

Ling Feng has encountered this more than once while playing football games.

In general, Ling Feng would choose a very satisfying way to deal with the "system situation" of the game.

That is to just unplug the plug and restart the game!

Of course, this is reality, not a game.

He couldn't just restart the game like in a game.

However, reality also has advantages that games can never achieve.

That is, the player himself, Ling Feng, can go on the court personally and rewrite the process and outcome of the game!
