Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 231 Exquisite violent breakthrough!
Aguero waved towards the stands to signal the fans to make their voices louder, and the rest of the Manchester City players rushed over to enjoy the pleasure of taking the lead.

A goal scored less than ten minutes into the game lifted the spirits of Manchester City fans.

As long as Manchester City can win against Manchester United today, it can widen the point difference to 6 points, which is equivalent to two more games of fault tolerance. Manchester United may not be able to recover even if they want to.

After all, Manchester City won 19 consecutive games last season, and this season the overall strength is stronger and may be able to set a new record.

Let Manchester United also experience the feeling of being suppressed.

Chu Feng frowned and looked at the opposite half, recalling the defensive positions of the Manchester City players, and suddenly remembered the conversation with Guardiola.

"Manchester City's offense is not three-dimensional enough."

He found that Manchester City seemed to have the same problem as Juventus, but the problem was not with the central defender, but with left back Mendy.

Even though Mendy has a strong body and excellent offensive ability.

The offensive ability here is not just like passing or dribbling, but a comprehensive and stable ability to get through the team's outside.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle and the game restarted.

After listening to Chu Feng’s thoughts, Mahrez held out his thumbs in amazement: “Chu, your tactical idea is very good, but it’s best to let Pogba push Herrera forward to prevent Fernandinho from returning. Remove interference.”

Coupled with Fernandinho's aging problem, he is often broken through one-two.

The Manchester United players raised their hands and shouted loudly: "Come on!!!"

Chu Feng is no longer limited to the center, but has moved a lot to the left, forming an inverted triangle position with Rashford and Pogba.

"Riyad." Chu Feng called Mahrez to his side, "When you get the ball later, you can try to use your skills to break through and let Laporte fill in for Mendy as much as possible. This will Sometimes I would slant behind Laporte to create a one-on-one situation with Stones."

Moreover, Manchester United has just been scored by Manchester City, and the players have not yet entered the state, and they need to touch the ball more to regain their feeling.

Couldn't Chu Feng be able to withstand the pressure?

Chu Feng quickly looked back before catching the ball and found that Stones and Fernandinho were coming from the corners, and Kyle Walker was also staring at Rashford.

Although the celebration of the Manchester City players came to an end, the cheers at the Etihad Stadium were still loud. David Silva waved: "Don't forget how we lost the game last season? Leading by one goal is not safe, remember Keep an eye on Manchester United’s No. 7 and don’t give him a chance to receive the ball.”

The purpose is to involve the movement of Manchester City's formation and create space for Mahrez on the right.

There are no breakaways and passing lanes.

Mendy's awareness of assisting defense is also very limited. In the transition stage from offense to defense, Manchester City's wing-center joint will be very weak.

The common problems of modern full-backs are also Mendy's problems. Insufficient rib protection and insufficient regional defense capabilities.

First of all, Mendy's defense relies too much on his physical fitness. If he encounters a winger with better athletic ability than him, he will have difficulty guarding against him.

Chu Feng summoned the Manchester United players: "When defending, pay attention to the situation around you and exchange more information on the field with your teammates. It is not a bad thing to score early, but the premise is that we cannot make the same mistakes."

It requires players to have a variety of technical abilities.

Pogba didn't hesitate and stuffed the ball directly.

Of course, if the left side can penetrate Manchester City's defense, it can launch an offensive towards the Manchester City goal.

Mourinho raised his eyebrows slightly. In fact, he learned from Guardiola and built a big core system.

In fact, Mourinho said a similar routine before the game, but the players need to change according to the situation. In the past, the person with the most tactical thinking in the team was Pogba.

pop, pop, pop
Time flies by with the constant crisp sound of the ball being touched.

Guardiola couldn't help but look next door, and met Mourinho's gaze.

On the offensive end, he has the insight to find every opportunity, the organizational ability to dominate and cooperate in local areas, and the ability to control the ball and escape when many people are chasing and intercepting him.
Although Chu Feng has not yet demonstrated absolute control, his overall technical style has already taken shape.

"Good, good, but it's a pity that he is not one of our players." Guardiola rubbed his brows, "And you ignored the most important point. He is actually trying to control the rhythm of the game."

But defense is his biggest flaw.

In competitive sports, it is very common to fall behind. Can you maintain a good mentality, patiently look for opportunities to equalize, and divide the team into ordinary and top teams.

Fernandinho added: "As long as you are not in the penalty area, you will foul when you should. Don't hesitate!"

This is no longer a center, but more like a No. 9 and a half, or an offensive free man.

In the Premier League, teams average 410.4 passes per game, but only a few dozen passes are truly threatening, so it is only normal to patiently pass the ball down and look for opportunities.

Arteta on the sidelines said with emotion: "Boss, Chu's passing and running are simple and beautiful. How can you tell that he is a 19-year-old player? I would say that without more than ten years of training, I would not be able to develop such a thinking. "

The Manchester City players nodded vigorously.

Chu Feng did not risk passing the threatening ball, but responded safely to the ball.

Chu Feng ran behind seat B and immediately shouted for the ball.

"come on!!!"

But this guy is completely unable to shoulder the responsibilities of a leader.

The Manchester United players believed that they were no less inferior. They put aside their frustration and regained their fighting spirit for the game.

There are absolutely no replicable tactics and extremely high requirements for core players.

Liverpool can equalize even if they are three goals behind.

Attacking the opponent's core defense and grasping the overall rhythm of the game, the two most important elements in a football match, are placed on Chu Feng's shoulders by Mourinho.

In addition, Mendy also has the problem of being easily out of position, which often appears after frequent attacks, and the phenomenon of being unable to come back is obvious.

This is also one of the changes Mourinho has made. He no longer uses players as tools, but allows players to have their own ideas.

Unknowingly, the game came to 31 minutes.

Chu Feng took advantage of the time when the ball was dead to gasp for air. This kind of kicking not only consumes physical strength, but also requires processing a lot of information.

It can be said that it consumes both physical and mental energy.

"Xiao Chu takes on more organizational work in the frontcourt. He can only rely on his own organization, scheduling and other abilities, combined with his superb foot skills, to avoid the ball being counter-stealed by Manchester City."

"Manchester United also gradually stabilized the situation on the field and planned several waves of pretty good attacks."

"But it never threatened Manchester City's goal."

Zhan Jun briefly analyzed the game to the fans.

Zhang Lu praised: "I have to mention Stones here. He has improved a lot compared to last season. Under his command, Manchester City's defense has maintained a high degree of stability without any low-level mistakes."

"In the World Cup in Russia, the partnership of Stones and Maguire was rated as the top five central defenders in the world."

"It's a pity that they became opponents today."

"Hey, let's take a look at Manchester City's quick counterattack and simple and neat passes. Guardiola's Manchester City is no longer limited to ineffective passes!"

"Tactical changes that follow the development of the times!"

The camera shifts to Manchester City's No. 20. The characteristics of seat B are similar to those of David Silva. They are both good at controlling the ball under high-intensity confrontation.

Facing Pogba, who was much stronger than him, Seat B stumbled but did not fall to the ground, and even knocked the ball to the right front first.

Kyle Walker dribbled the ball forward.

Luke Shaw quickly approached and tried to force the opponent to slow down, but Kyle Walker started to explode without saying a word.

The two started a chase on the wing!

Three years have passed since Luke Shaw suffered a broken leg. He lost not only that promising season, but possibly his entire star-studded career.

His speed is no longer astonishing, his movements are timid, and he is even a little fatter.

But in the final stage of last season, he staged Luke Shaw's redemption.

The talented wing-propelling machine has become the Red Devils' stable left gate, gradually taking over Ashley Young's position. Without his lightning speed, he has to learn improved defensive positioning.

Reaching out to slow down Kyle Walker, when Kyle Walker suddenly stopped and cut inside, Matic on the side helped to defend and steal!

Manchester City's quick counterattack was blocked, and the offensive and defensive roles were reversed!
Matic's clean diagonal pass found the running Herrera.

David Silva, who was closest, came close to interfere, delaying time for Manchester City to reorganize their defence.

Chu Feng waved while running towards the left rib, pulling Stones and Fernandinho out, and at the same time glanced back at Mahrez.

Herrera instantly understood what Chu Feng meant and rushed towards the empty space in the hinterland with the ball.

Laporte quickly stepped forward.

Manchester City's defensive replacement is very complete, but there is still a slight deviation, and that is Mendy on the left.

as predicted.

Herrera secretly kicked off and passed the ground ball, and Mahrez quickly moved forward simultaneously, leaving behind Mendy who was in a poor defensive position.

Laporte had no choice but to retreat to cover the left wing.

Every step of Manchester City was in Chu Feng's expectation. He suddenly changed the direction of movement and thrust into the right side of the penalty area like a sharp knife.

Both Stones and Fernandinho have good defensive awareness, but they are no match for Chu Feng in terms of confrontation and speed!

The former is 1 meters tall and weighs 88kg. He is quite a thin dog!
The latter's weight and height are quite balanced, but at the age of 33, his physical fitness is not as good as it was back then.

Both of them accurately judged Chu Feng's purpose, but whether they could follow him was a question.

How terrifying is the burst speed as high as 95?
Like an arrow from a string, Chu Feng flew past the two of them, creating ample time and space differences!

Manchester City simply had no time to organize a complete defensive system.

Mahrez did not struggle with Laporte. He clearly saw Chu Feng's position, so he kicked the ball across.

"Mahrez's passing speed is a bit slow!"

"Laporte can turn around and chase after him now, and Stones is also rushing into the penalty area!"

Mahrez immediately noticed something was wrong when he passed the ball. The quality of the pass with his right foot was really poor, and he was filled with annoyance and frustration.

Now I can only place my last hope on Chu Feng.

Chu Feng immediately changed his route, but the double-team between the two had taken shape, and the space for holding the ball was shrinking.

Where is the opportunity?
Cruyff once said: "Of the 90 minutes in a football match, players spend more than 85 minutes running without the ball, while the total time spent handling the ball is less than 5 minutes."

The implication is that what reflects the difference in players' abilities is what they can show in less than 5 minutes of having the ball.

It is also the most intuitive criterion for distinguishing player levels!
For defensive players, the most threatening angles and dribbling routes are always the points, lines, and surfaces they prioritize to block.

For offensive players, lack of ability means they can only pass the ball safely or waste opportunities.

If every player is like this, the team can only be a stagnant pool of water.

Chu Feng believes that he is not a mediocre player.

He subconsciously decodes the opponent's defensive logic, and then uses his own personal abilities to create a more threatening route with the ball!
Laporta and Stones have already arrived, blocking all passing spaces and shooting routes. It can be said that the offensive players are in a desperate situation.

No one believed that Chu Feng could pick the ball out.

But they still stared intently at Manchester United's No. 7 because he was so good at creating miracles.

Time seems to have stood still.

There is no way to think in the blink of an eye, all reactions are derived from muscle memory developed through countless trainings!
Chu Feng used all his muscles to stop suddenly and half-twisted to block Laporte from the side!
When the historical man-ball combination ability is combined with explosive power, it will cause the opponent's entire defense to instantly collapse!
The Etihad spotlight shone down, illuminating the graceful dancers in the penalty area.

In the defensive double team of two people.

He had a firm grip on the football and found the slightest crack!
Turn around again towards the target direction, step on the ball with your dominant foot and gently pull it, and complete the escape, as natural as running water!
Marseille roundabout!

He handled the football in an unexpected and extreme way, and in the physical confrontation with the defensive players, he gained space by combining the power and skills of the ball!
Stones did not choose to stretch his legs to intercept because he knew there was a high probability that it would be useless!
When the two bodies collided violently, Stones stumbled backwards and fell. Confrontation has never been his strong point, because he is a 72kg thin dog.

If it were Maguire, Chu Feng would probably be the one who fell.

As for Chu Feng's focus, he quickly adjusted back.

The audience felt their eyes blurred as Chu Feng easily dribbled the ball away and reached the left front of the Manchester City goal.

After Chu Feng finished getting rid of him, he saw Ederson.

The main goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team was extremely nervous. He never thought that Chu Feng could break away from the two-man defense. His long-term training made him subconsciously pounce on the football!

Chu Feng swung his left foot faster.

He did not pass the goalkeeper as usual. After all, the space for holding the ball was too small and it was unsafe.

The football spun towards the far end of the goal.

A mediocre push, but Ederson could do nothing but watch the football cross the goal line.

next second.

Chu Feng ran wildly against the cheers and breeze, leaped high and punched the air!
"Hi, Hi, Hi!!!"

The roars of the Manchester United fans started. The beautiful and violent escape made everyone unable to help but feel excited.

Mahrez's eyes widened and he murmured to himself: "Damn, it's so cool to be teammates with Chu, isn't it?"

Herrera next to him also sighed: "Real top strikers are good at handling Daoshan balls. Can you think that Chu will get rid of them in this way?"

"I definitely can't do it." Mahrez shook his head, "My body is not as strong as Chu, but I have other options."

Then they went to celebrate with their teammates, leaving the Manchester City players standing in the penalty area.

Stones rubbed his sore chest, thinking that he would have to strengthen strength training in the future, otherwise he would suffer too much against others.

Laporte is not much better. He moved to Manchester City for 6500 million euros this season and took over Kompany's position.

I usually listen to the praise of Chu Feng from the outside world, and I have long wanted to fight against Chu Feng.

The first 30 minutes of the game were normal. He and Stones cooperated tacitly, restricting Chu Feng and unable to move.

Laporte was also a bit dismissive.

But who would have thought that Chu Feng would seize the opportunity that was not an opportunity and use a chic and elegant Marseille maneuver to make the two of them a tragic backdrop.

In the 34th minute of the game, Manchester United equalized the score.

Mourinho, like the Manchester United players on the pitch, waved their arms crazily to celebrate this key goal.

Next, the two teams returned to the same starting line. In the remaining time, Manchester United could be more calm and did not have to attack in a hurry.

Now it was possible to disrupt the situation 15 minutes into the second half as originally planned.

Guardiola next door touched his head again, "The main problem is still in the midfielder. Fernandinho's mobility is not as good as before, and his return efficiency after being pulled away is too low. If three people guard Chu, he will definitely There’s no way out.”

"Atletico Madrid's Rodri is more in line with our requirements." Arteta mentioned.

"It's a pity that Atletico Madrid didn't release anyone in the summer window. Let's try to make an offer in the winter window." Guardiola sighed helplessly.

Subsequently, under the command of Mourinho, Manchester United did not take advantage of the opportunity to pursue and entered a defensive counterattack state.

City didn't attack with demoralization either.

Both teams must save their physical strength for the second half to face extremely fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Soon the referee blew the whistle and the two sides returned to the halftime break with a score of 1-1.
