Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 66 The battle between two English top league teams that have won three consecutive championships

The next morning, under the sunshine, the air was exceptionally fresh.

Someone was kicking a ball against the wall on the green field, and there was a muffled "bang bang" sound, which woke up the sleeping sparrow.

Chu Feng deliberately woke up half an hour earlier than usual just to experience the "First touch" module.

After the simple basic training, he placed several sign boards according to rules and imagined them as defensive players. He thought about how to handle the ball when he was in different positions and what actions he should take next.

As time passes by boring training, Chu Feng's thinking about touching the ball is also constantly improving.

However, he also understands that the current intensity is completely insufficient, because for football, there are two completely different sports with or without interference.

So after completing this stage of training, Chu Feng found McTominay and asked him to fight against him.

Naturally, the result was not as close to a perfect touch as before.

But Chu Feng didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, this thing is a long-lasting thing and it can't be done in a day or two.

After training ends near noon.

McTominay rubbed his sore shoulders and asked doubtfully: "You do this every day, don't you get bored?"

"Okay."

Chu Feng didn't explain much. After all, he was reborn, and his mentality was naturally different from before.

At the end, he added: "Hurry up and leave, don't forget to treat me to dinner."

Then the two went to a restaurant near the Carrington training base.

"Hey, Chu Feng!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties had just hung the framed Manchester United No. 23 jersey on the wall. When he turned around and saw a familiar face, he couldn't help shouting in surprise.

Chu Feng heard the familiar Chinese language and subconsciously responded.

The two chatted for a while, and Chu Feng found out that the middle-aged man was called Zhang Zhongbing, and he was from China like him.

Because his son was successfully selected into Manchester City's youth training camp, he came to take care of him and opened a restaurant to support his family.

"Then you have chosen the wrong place. Manchester United is in the southwest and Manchester City is in the northeast."

Chu Feng was a little confused.

"Ahem, because my son originally wanted to join the Manchester United youth academy, but he was rejected."

Zhang Zhongbing's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly returned to normal.

Then he took off the jersey on the wall and said excitedly: "Can you sign it for me?"

Naturally, Chu Feng would not refuse, so he wrote down his name and left a group photo for the other party.

After a few minutes.

McTominay looked at the peeled duck legs and half a plate of green cabbage on the table, and the corners of his eyes couldn't stop twitching.

He came to enjoy Chinese delicacies, but why was the food he ate cleaner than in the canteen?

Chu Feng started to enjoy the food, because this was his special request.

Lunch ended soon. Before leaving, Chu Feng left his phone number and told the other party to contact him if he had any questions about football.

After all, I have personally experienced the hardships of a foreign country, and as a compatriot, I will help if I can.

10 month 28 day.

In north-central England, on the east side of the Pennine Mountains and on the west side of the Calder River tributary, there is a small town of 150,000 people. Its name is Huddersfield.

The club with the same name is called "Hard Town" by fans. Although it only entered the Premier League through the Championship promotion play-offs this season, it actually has a glorious history.

In 1926, Huddersfield became the first team in England to win three consecutive top-flight titles.

In history, only four teams have created such a great achievement, the other three are Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

As a resident of a small town, there are not many recreational activities on weekdays.

So every Premier League match day, they would put down what they were doing and go to the John Smith Stadium together to cheer for Huddersfield.

In their view, football is not only a sport, but also a culture. It has become a representative of the community, of which they are a part. Perhaps it is precisely because of this warm and lively atmosphere that England has more than 40,000 clubs.

two hours later.

The ninth round of the Premier League has begun.

Huddersfield's head coach Wagner has coached the Hoffenheim and Dortmund youth teams and is an old-school German coach.

The overall style tends to be conservative and is best suited to help the club avoid relegation.

He formed a 4-2-3-1 formation.

On the other side of Manchester United, Mourinho took into account the fatigue problems of some players and asked Lingard to start instead of Mkhitaryan. The other positions did not change much.

It's also a 4-2-3-1 formation.

After the game starts.

Huddersfield players quickly retreated and formed a dense position in their own half, making it clear that they were going to counterattack defensively.

When the Manchester United players saw this, they stepped out decisively. They had no intention of drawing a tie with the relegation team.

However, they underestimated their opponent's resolute defensive attitude and completely abandoned the midfield and huddled in the penalty area.

Moreover, the fighting action was very big and did not give Manchester United any chance.

Manchester United's original method of breaking the bus was to rely on Pogba's peripheral organization, slowly passing the ball backwards to tear apart the defense and seek vertical space.

Of course, there is another way, which is to launch high-altitude bombing without thinking.

However, both Pogba and Fellaini were absent due to injuries, resulting in the failure of both tactics to be implemented smoothly.

Therefore, although Manchester United had the advantage on the scene and laid siege for 25 minutes, they still failed to change the score.

The 28th minute of the game.

Instead, it was Huddersfield goalkeeper Russell's clearance that accidentally found his teammates in the frontcourt.

Perhaps because he traveled between Portugal and England in just two days and played the entire game, Smalling made a low-level mistake.

And De Poiret seized the opportunity to dribble the ball towards the penalty area. Facing De Gea who abandoned the goal, he shot into the far corner and scored.

1-0!

This lit up John Smith's Stadium, and the town residents immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers.

If we can get three points from Manchester United today, it will mean that the road to relegation will be smoother, and it will also knock Manchester United off the top of the standings.

For them, the latter is more exciting.

Because as the teams that have won three consecutive championships in England's top league, the other three have gradually grown into Premier League hegemons, while they have had ups and downs in the lower leagues.

The gap between them is so big that it makes people jealous.

On the other hand, the Manchester United fans who traveled with the team opened their mouths, obviously not expecting that the relegation team would score first.

It's a different scene on the sidelines too.

Wagner looked delighted, thinking that he had good luck today, and his only counterattack was successful.

Next, Manchester United can only continue to strengthen their offense, but they can shrink back and defend, using the space behind the opponent, and then try to create opportunities for counterattacks.

Mourinho on the other side frowned slightly, signaling the players on the court to slow down the pace and at least stabilize the current score.

Under such circumstances, the first half of the game came to an end quickly.

　Thanks to the book friend "A Liang You Meng" for the 100-point reward.

　　Thanks to book friends "hdww", "Orange-loving Mario" and "Hu Daxian'er" for their monthly votes.

　　Readers, you can keep it for a while and read it together after it is put on the shelves.

　　I've read everyone's comments recently. The protagonist does lack the kind of powerful breakthrough like Daluo. This is my problem, and I will make adjustments later.
