I am the king of football

Chapter 436 Still Van Persie

"Manchester United controlled the ball and advanced after the kick-off. This time they maintained their formation very well. After Bayern's counterattack, Manchester United began to choose to pass the ball through the middle."

With Carrick as the core, Giggs and Fletcher assisted in their own half. After the restart, Manchester United used the best iron triangle to make it difficult for Bayern players to touch the ball for a while.

After controlling the ball for a few minutes, Carrick, who had been observing the movements of his teammates in the frontcourt, quickly found the opportunity. He passed the ball directly to Rooney on the left who was being guarded one-on-one by Lahm.

"Oh~ What a bold pass attempt. Rooney got the ball off before Lahm could steal it, but the opponent's strong defense still made it difficult for him to handle the ball properly. It was Qin Hu! Qin Hu came over to meet him, and he barely passed the ball to Qin Hu~"

Qin Hu's movement disrupted the opponent's defensive arrangements. After all, it was impossible for Boateng and Dante to be pulled out to follow Qin Hu, so the person who defended Qin Hu once again became Javi Martinez, who already had a yellow card.

"After receiving the ball and facing the defender, Qin Hu lowered his shoulders and tried to break through one-on-one!"

Qin Hu is very experienced in dealing with opponents who have cards. Possessing excellent breakthrough ability, he hopes that his opponent will kick out at an inopportune time while making his moves, so that they will have a good situation of having one more person fighting.

"Try to break through to the right, and shake the bull's tail! Beautiful~ Breaking through from the left side, Hama retracted his hand that wanted to pull Qin Hu. Haha, he also knew that he had a yellow card~"

In the one-on-one battle with Qin Hu, Martinez finally felt how terrifying this tall striker was. This striker had almost everything, both physical and technical. Moreover, his feet moved too fast. There was no better way to defend him except to predict the position in advance.

When Hama kicked Qin Hu down before, he kicked hastily because he did not have time to get into position in advance. Now he dare not pull the opponent again. If Qin Hu falls to the ground on the spot, it is hard to say whether the referee will give him a card.

"After the successful breakthrough, Qin Hu continued to move forward. His speed had already increased. He ran all the way forward from the left side of the penalty area. Lahm and Hama were desperately chasing him. Boateng also moved to the corresponding position to delay Qin Hu and wait for his opponent!"

Bayern's defensive arrangement was clearly visible. With just two simple sentences, Zhan Jun made everyone feel that an invisible net was covering Qin Hu. At this time, it was too difficult to rely on personal ability to break through the opponent's defense line.

Fortunately, at this moment Qin Hu had never thought about trying to break through again.

"We are about to reach the confrontation position. How will Qin Hu deal with it? Pass the ball, a reverse triangle pass, Carrick who has shaken off Kroos receives the ball, kicks it directly, and it is another lob pass!"

As Manchester United's forwards are all very strong in the air, their midfielders have all mastered superb lob passing techniques, and this time Carrick's pass was fantastic.

Just like a piece of music that suddenly adds a melodious tune after an impassioned collision, the camera followed the ball slowly into the Bayern penalty area.

"Van Persie! Still Van Persie!"

"Oh!"

The young Alaba still couldn't stop the experienced Dutch striker. When Van Persie jumped high with the speed of a continuous sprint to head the falling ball, even Neuer's top goalkeeper talent was of no use.

"A diving header!!! The ball hits the crossbar and goes in, the score is tied!!!"

It was still Van Persie. In this game, the player scored a goal after two header attempts, and he lived up to Ferguson's trust in him. 1-1, six minutes after the game restarted, Manchester United used their wonderful midfield and frontcourt passes to save the situation. When Van Persie and his teammates rushed to the die-hard fans' stand to celebrate, it was the turn of Bayern fans to be speechless.

“The start of this game was really exciting, and it was completely different from what we expected the two teams to do!”

Sitting in the commentary booth and feeling the atmosphere on the scene, Zhan Jun couldn't help but sigh. In a match like the Champions League, after the semi-finals, teams often use not conceding the ball as the basic starting point of their tactics. This directly leads to the fact that this kind of competition is not as exciting as the group stage and the previous knockout stage in the end.

But obviously, the game at this moment is different. From the moment Bayern broke the balance shortly after the start of the game, both sides were destined to not return to the state of testing each other and would rather not score than lose the ball.

"Don't just focus on the Chinese guy, the two flanks are equally important, Alaba, you have to follow Van Persie!"

While Manchester United players were celebrating passionately, Heynckes called all his disciples to his side. Before he had time to rejoice over the team's first goal, the score was equalized, which made the old coach very dissatisfied.

"Understood coach, that was my problem just now."

The young Alaba, who was nicknamed "Liu Xing of Football" by fans because he looked like Liu Xing in "Home with Kids", lowered his head and nodded in annoyance. It was indeed his defensive loss that led to Van Persie scoring the goal.

"Don't be too sad, just follow him closely and believe in yourself."

Patting Alaba on the shoulder, Heynckes was still very optimistic about the young man in front of him. With his good speed, physique and defensive awareness, he was capable of taking on the defensive responsibilities of the team's flanks.

After Manchester United's celebration ended, both sides stood in the kick-off position again. This time it was Bayern's turn to kick off. Mandzukic and Ribery stood in front of the ball again. There were no smiles on their faces, only respect for their opponents.

"Shh~!"

"Okay, the game has started again. The score has become 1-1. The two sides are temporarily tied. It seems that this game is indeed a evenly matched duel."

As the game started again, Bayern did not try to attack right after the kick-off. After the team scored a goal at the start, it went without saying that Manchester United would strengthen the defense in the midfield and backcourt, especially at the start of the game. Instead of blindly pressing forward and losing the ball, it would be better to control the ball and take it slowly.

So after more than ten minutes of fierce attack on the field, the situation temporarily calmed down. As Bayern's midfielder Muller and two midfielders Hammar and Kroos began to pass the ball, it was difficult for Manchester United's offensive players to force the ball away in a short time.

The fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief. Some drank water, some chatted, and waited for another climax to come on the court.

As a commentator, Zhan Jun analyzed the strength of both teams and the characteristics of the starting players for the fans in front of the TV as the ball kept rotating.
