Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 458 Another magic weapon
The decisive key substitution!A substitution that changes the overall situation of the game!
Villarreal head coach Manuel Pellegrini's decision to make a substitution was straightforward and never sloppy, which showed the Chilean's strong self-confidence and decisive style. If his goal is achieved, with With this substitution, he may become famous in European football, and if Villarreal really reaches the knockout stage, Manuel Pellegrini will immediately have the label of "famous coach" .

Whether it is a player or a coach, the reasons for becoming famous are very similar. First, there must be achievements, and second, there must be an opportunity worthy of publicity.

For example, Ronando, he debuted for one year, won the European Triple Crown, became an important member of the Red Devils Manchester United, and scored countless goals on the court, but if fans who are not familiar with him, just from the media , I got to know him on TV, and what impressed me most about him may be just a certain classic moment, such as the moment when he scored the "club's 1000th Premier League goal" for Manchester United.

In other words, what makes a star famous is often an unconventional moment worthy of hype.

However, not all characters are so lucky. Some players or coaches will be ashamed because of a certain moment. People call that moment: failure!
Manuel Pellegrini's substitution in the 13th minute of the UEFA Champions League group stage, is it a classic moment to achieve a famous coach, or is it a failure?Unfortunately, he is not the protagonist. He failed to think clearly about his own team and some characteristics of the Manchester United team at that hasty moment, which caused him to make an unforgivable mistake. Therefore, substitutions became his profession. A major failure in his career, this unconventional substitution also made the future Manuel Pellegrini regret it.

"Number 24 Darren Fletcher! A beautiful tackle! ... Manchester United's half-court defense has been strengthened after the back line moved forward. 21-year-old Darren Fletcher became the defensive player. The core player in the middle, his wide range of running has caused a lot of trouble for Villarreal's midfield penetration. The steal just now reminds us of No. 16 Roy Keane! The great captain of the Red Devils figure!"

"Darren Fletcher scored the ball and the ball went to Paul Scholes' feet! A sudden direct pass!"

"Paul Scholes' long pass on the 18th is an important magic weapon for Manchester United to defeat the enemy. After David Beckham left Manchester United, Paul Scholes provoked the heavy responsibility. We saw the veteran's long pass The ball was so precise! It went straight to the feet of Rooney in the frontcourt!"

"It's so beautiful! After Villarreal replaced a defensive midfielder, Manchester United's offensive has become smoother! They have the advantage!..."

Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini has grown dumbfounded.

When he replaced the offensive midfielder No. 22 Hector Fonte Romero with the defensive midfielder No. 14 Juan Pena, although the team's left side became more stable, the Italian midfielder Juan Pena Pena's defensive ability is much stronger than that of Romero, who is short in stature, which reduces Ronaldo's success rate of receiving the ball. However, corresponding to this effect, Villarreal's midfield penetration tactics It's a big discount!

Is the role of a chess piece so important on the court?Facts have proved that sometimes a seemingly ordinary chess piece is the key to breaking the balance.

Among Villarreal's five midfielders, No. 18 Alessio Tacchinardi, who serves as the right midfielder, is originally a defensive midfielder. This Juventus loan player is best at The position is the midfielder, because he is tall and can play the role of a midfield turret in the offense, but such a big man with a height of 187cm has poor flexibility under his feet and cannot integrate well Villarreal's midfield system.

The reason why manager Manuel Pellegrini brought in Italian midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi was to contain Ryan Giggs, United's winger on the left.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, the other four Villarreal midfielders formed a combination of quick passing and receiving. Their quick running and passing made several Manchester United players very uncomfortable. , Can only passively follow the run, the result is that Villarreal's midfielder No. 10 Roger? Garcia made the first shot of the game.

If the game develops according to the situation of those 10 minutes, the odds of winning and losing for both sides are almost [-]-[-]. Villarreal will not suffer at least in the number of shots, and whether they can score depends on luck.

However, the substitution in the 13th minute changed everything!
No. 22 Juan Pena has a strong defensive ability, but he has a problem with No. 18 Alessio Tacchinardi on the other side. It is difficult for him to integrate into the passing system of several other midfielders , His running position is always a little awkward, either fast or slow, in short, he can't make himself a member of this passing and receiving system!
Here comes the problem!The short pass cooperation of the four midfielders can penetrate Manchester United's defense, but what about the cooperation between the three players?

The answer is no!Or very reluctantly!The reduction of contact points has made it countless times more difficult for Villarreal's dribbling players to pass the ball. Correspondingly, the success rate of Manchester United's interception has greatly increased!Under one positive and one negative, Villarreal's midfield advantage disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Villarreal, who does not have the advantage of midfield possession, can compete with the fierce Manchester United?
Paul Scholes' passing, Ryan Giggs' wing charge, Rooney's mad rush in the middle, these are the foundations on which Manchester United has become a Premier League team, plus Ruud van Nistelrooy's sharp shot in the penalty area , These characteristics are the four magic weapons of Manchester United in the Premier League. Countless experience shows that when a team cannot effectively restrict these four magic weapons of Manchester United, what they face is failure.

Today, Villarreal played against Manchester United, although they lost Ruud van Nistelrooy's restriction in the penalty area, but the other three magic weapons are all showing their power!

In fact, it is more than just the three magic weapons?And the new magic weapon of Ronando on the right was not included in the calculation!

Ronando, who was defended by the Italian midfielder Juan Pena's personal nanny style, was not as dazzling as the magical performance after the start of the game, but he was not completely frozen. This is a very normal state, that is to say, sometimes Ronando can successfully receive the pass from his teammates, and sometimes he will fail.

However, the so-called "tie" is not calculated in this way. When Ronaldo failed to catch the ball, Manchester United just lost an offensive opportunity and turned from offense to defense. But when he successfully received the pass, the result was completely different. up!
Ronando's iconic wing hurricane is still effective!
The reason is very simple. With Ronando's physique, when he charged up, unless Juan Pena immediately used his hands and feet to turn Ronando over, otherwise, he would not be able to stop him, and he would not be able to keep up!
left middle right!Three ways go hand in hand!Manchester United played a three-dimensional offensive that has been rare in recent years. Under this offensive mode, let alone Villarreal with relatively mediocre players, even if it is replaced by the other three strong teams in the Premier League, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, so what?It is estimated that it will be difficult to stop!

"GOAL! GOAL! G————O—————A————L——————————L————————————————— ——L!!"

"No. 4 Gabriel Heinze! The Argentine defender opened the scoring for Manchester United!"

"Great goal! It's been a lucky year for Gabriel Heinze, who scored a goal away to Newcastle United in August and already has two goals for Manchester United this season Today's goal is especially important, if the score stays until the end, Manchester United will have a favorable position in Group D!"

The defender scores!But it doesn't matter who scores the goal, the goal is the key!
With Manchester United's three-way going hand in hand, Villarreal's defense began to become reckless and full of mistakes.

In the 24th minute of the first half, after Ryan Giggs rushed forward all the way, Rooney responded in the middle and shot a heavy shot after receiving the ball. Villarreal goalkeeper Sebastian Vieira made a critical move The ball was hit by the middle double fist, the defender Gonzalo Rodriguez made a mistake in making a clearance, and the ball hit his own player. At this time, the lucky Gabriel Heinze ran up and hit the ball with a long shot. goal.

"Gabri! Gabri! Lucky Gabri!"

The Manchester United players rushed towards Gabriel Heinze with loud shouts. Although it cannot be called the blossoming of the iron tree, this goal is Gabriel Heinze's third goal since joining Manchester United. It is worthy of congratulations.

In other words, Argentine defender Gabriel Heinze has been Manchester United's No.1 choice for left-back for two seasons. He has a tenacious fighting spirit and can attack and defend well. Ryan Giggs is the team's main attacker, and Gabriel Heinze's chances of rushing to the frontcourt to shoot are obviously not many.

The full-backs can rush to Villarreal's penalty area, which at least shows that the pressure on Manchester United's defensive players is not too great.

In fact, when Villarreal's midfield possession advantage was suppressed, Villarreal was finished!
The offense is not strong and the defense is full of loopholes. If there is hope for such a game, it is unreasonable. The reason why Villarreal conceded the first goal was completed by the opposing defender. It is because their players are defending the opponent. Several of the offensive players are gone!Luis Saha, Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Ronaldo, these people have made Villarreal have no time to take care of others.

"Victory! Victory! We will be the victorious party!"

Ferguson, who was on the Manchester United bench, had recovered his calm demeanor at this moment. With a smile all over his face, he raised his hands above his head and applauded gently. While applauding, he frequently raised his hand to the fans in the audience behind him. Let everyone applaud and celebrate with him, looking like a famous coach who is calm and breezy.

Oh!Shameless Sir Alex Ferguson!
If at this time, some blind fool showed him a photo of Ferguson shouting angrily on the sidelines of the court shortly after the start of the game, the old man would definitely blow his beard and stare...

The so-called draft does not forget the well-digger. Of course, a head coach of Ferguson's level knows why he is so relaxed now. It is because one of his players suddenly has the ability to penetrate the opponent's team. The ability of the wing made the opponent have no choice but to strengthen the defense and give up the attack. That player is No. 22 Ronando!

"God bless Manchester United! If I can lead the Red Devils to the top again in the final stage of my 19-year coaching career, I... Alex Ferguson, I will die without regret!"

summit?What are you waiting for?Is it the Premier League champions, or the Champions League champions?
Regarding this issue, Ferguson may not have thought about it at the moment, because, judging from the current situation, even if Manchester United is catching up, no matter which championship it is, it will undoubtedly be very difficult. Chelsea in the league is extremely strong. Although a hard-won 1:0 victory was achieved, don't forget that it was at Manchester United's home court. Who is sure to beat Chelsea in an away game?
The Premier League title is difficult, the Champions League is even more difficult, it is obvious...

"Haha! The Chilean coach of the yellow submarine made a big mistake! He underestimated Manchester United's offensive power and overestimated the strength of the submarine!"

"What now? Should Romero be replaced again? Oh! If the referee Epson Benson allows..."

"Victory! There will be four Premier League teams in this year's Champions League round of 16!"

In the media area of ​​Old Trafford, a large number of English journalists were jubilant, and they happily high-fived each other.

Four places in the last 16 of the Champions League?This is an amazing event!
Everyone knows that there are four places for the first tier of the UEFA Champions League, that is, La Liga, Premier League, and Serie A. The champions and runners-up will directly advance to the group stage, and the third and fourth will participate in the third qualifying round. The 32 teams in the group stage are divided into 8 groups, and the top two teams in each group enter the knockout stage. Teams from the same country's league will not be divided into the same group.

Looking at such rules, one can see that even if all four teams in a certain league enter the group stage, it will be very difficult for them to achieve the top two results in the group.

In European football, for their own interests, the competition between the major leagues is in full swing. Anything that can distinguish the top and bottom of the major leagues is the content of competition. For example, the recognized World Footballer , Ballon d'Or, UEFA's best team of the year and other awards, and even the season's transfer bid king has to compete. Under this situation, the annual Champions League is the main competition for everyone. position.

At each stage of the UEFA Champions League, which league occupies the most seats means which league is the strongest. The national media of this league often calls itself the "first league", which is extraordinarily glorious.

This season's Premier League has taken advantage of it. As the last champion, Liverpool failed to get a ticket to the Champions League. They only got a qualifying spot after special approval from UEFA. In this way, the Premier League became the only one this season. It's just a pity that the team with five Champions League places, Everton, the fourth in the Premier League last season, was not strong enough and lost the group stage places in the qualifying round. Otherwise, five teams reached the top 16 at the same time. The real Champions League record, there has never been such a miracle in the Champions League in any year.

However, judging from the results of this year's group stage, the Premier League has already won the championship, and the other three teams have basically qualified. If Manchester United advances smoothly, it will occupy a quarter of the top 16, a proper "First League"!
"It's terrible! The old Manuel made a foolish move, and Villarreal's situation is not good!"

"The situation of Real Betis is not good either. Barcelona and Real Madrid will not be the only ones who can enter the round of 16 this year, right? Isn't that even worse than the Bundesliga?"

"Barcelona remains unbeaten in the group stage this year! The trident of Eto'o, Ronaldinho and Messi is invincible! Barcelona is enough!"

This is a group of Spanish reporters chatting together. This year's La Liga did not play well in the Champions League. Even Real Madrid suffered a shocking 0:3 defeat in the first round of the group stage. Under such circumstances However, the only thing that can make the Spaniards comfort themselves is Barcelona.

Barcelona's front three? The 18-year-old Argentine-Spanish dual-nationality superstar Leo Messi is already one of the Barcelona tridents who are popular all over the world. He is one step ahead of Ronaldo.

goal!Must score!Not to beat Messi in the Golden Boy Awards, but to stay at Manchester United!

At this time, Ronando didn't know that he was different in Ferguson's eyes. He just wanted to score at least one goal. Only then could his value to the team be put on the table. Anyone, Including Ferguson, if you want to clear him out of the team, you have to bear more doubts, and only by constantly scoring goals can Ronaldo be confident.

No. 22 Juan Pena?An ordinary Italian defensive midfielder, if he can't even fight against such an opponent, how can he talk about fighting against the coquettish contemporaries?

Play a role similar to Ryan Giggs?

No!That kind of requirement is too low. Ryan Giggs has played for Manchester United for 13 years, and he has made great contributions to Manchester United's first Premier League decade. The title of "Second Vice Captain" is still far from Ronando's ideal. He must surpass Ryan Giggs. The easiest way is to score goals and become the team's top scorer...

Just as Ronando was walking towards his own court with his head down, Villarreal's No. 22 Juan Pena walked up to him, lowered his voice and laughed: "Oh! No. 22... I think You are much worse than Barcelona's Messi! Apart from being strong...hehe, why do you compare yourself to Messi?"

Messi?Ronando heard the name suddenly, looked up and noticed Juan Pena.

Ronando laughed: "You mean Messi?...You still care about yourself, Juan Pena, you will soon know how I am better than that little flea!"
