Chapter 314 You Can Prepare for the Awards Ceremony in Advance 【Subscribe! 】

Ferguson, who was expected by countless Red Devils fans, was in a bad mood at the moment.

He actually thought that Speed ​​would choose the safest style of play, but he thought the worst outcome would be Sheffield United putting on their enviable three midfielders.

But Ferguson didn't guess Drinkwater's substitute, let alone Sheffield United directly put up five backs while playing the three midfielders!
To be honest, Speed's courage is already a bit astonishing. In this kind of matchup, if you dare to let your own midfielder substitute first, if there is an accident, you will be ridiculed and blamed by countless fans.

Speed ​​definitely knew the risks of starting this way, but he did it anyway.

The only thing that can be explained is that he is very confident in this formation and style of play, and the entire Sheffield United team has practiced many times.

According to Sheffield United's past tactical discipline, the players on the field will only implement Speed's tactics to the end.

In other words, the vast area of ​​Sheffield United's backcourt today may become a huge meat grinder battlefield due to sufficient manpower!
The key is that because Sheffield United has Li Mo and Bell present at the same time, Ferguson really dare not mobilize too many backcourt personnel to press forward and support.

Once the two of them are allowed to charge up, it will be a huge trouble to penetrate a defensive area by personal ability.

After thinking about it, Ferguson felt that it is better not to move lightly now, and to see the development of the situation on the court. Sheffield United is good at playing the back, and he will also play a back adjustment today!
Just today, Sheffield United's frontcourt's offensive strength has been greatly reduced. As long as Li Mo does not get too many pass support to break the balance of the field, Ferguson feels that his tactical arrangement may not be able to use Sheffield United's defense.

Thinking of this, Ferguson also pinched his palm, feeling more confident in his heart.

After players from both sides lined up to complete the pre-match ceremony, the time slowly moved to 17:30 in the afternoon.

In the tense atmosphere at Old Trafford, the referee on duty blew the whistle to start the game.

For a moment, the Manchester United fans in Old Trafford seemed to be trying their best to shout their support for the team!
In the hustle and bustle, the players of Sheffield United quickly spread out the formation, Bell on the left side of the midfield was slightly forward, and Matic moved closer to him, always ready to help defend.

Li Mo didn't sit directly in the center, but slightly to the right, leaving the entire left half of the offensive space for Bell.

Today Speed ​​did not send Joaquin and De Bruyne, so Li Mo will naturally shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting and attacking on the right.

However, compared to Bell, his space and position are indeed broader and more flexible.

From the center to the right, as long as there is a loophole in Manchester United's defense, he can choose the direction of attack by himself.

And he doesn't have to worry about no one in the middle when attacking on the right. Dembele's starting is to make up for this offensive defect.

The Belgian midfielder's ability to push in and hold the ball is top-notch in football. It may not be possible for him to be the end point in the middle, but it is no problem to hold the ball to create a second attack for Bell and Li Mo on the wings.

After all, physical fitness and skills are there, and it can also help Li Mo share a part of the fulcrum role, allowing him to advance, attack, retreat, and defend. This is the position Speed ​​has found for Dembele.

This is also Speed's greatest confidence in daring to use Drinkwater as a backhand in this game!
But the current Manchester United players obviously haven't thought of this level. They are worrying about how to quickly pass through Sheffield United's midfield.

A hard charge is definitely not enough, let alone whether the charge can pass the steel defense line arranged by the Sheffield United midfielder, it is just a fluke.

When the two wings are marked one-on-one and there are three central defenders in front of them, the ball holder will eventually have no choice but to control the ball and pull the ball to the side or simply pass back because he cannot find a point of contact.

This kind of attack seems to be time-consuming and not very profitable. We still have to think about ways to quickly pass Sheffield United's midfield.

Fortunately, Ferguson's formation today gave Manchester United's midfielder a true core and the ability to hold the ball stably.

Looking at the little fat man who frequently ran and caught the ball in the midfield to escape the interception of Sheffield United defenders, many Manchester United fans instantly forgot about the salary increase he caused at the beginning of the season.

"Rooney, Rooney, Manchester United still let Rooney take on the important task of leading the midfield against Sheffield United in perhaps the most important league game of the season! Among all the midfielders of Manchester United, there is only one Rooney Don't be afraid of Sheffield United's oppressive press, Manchester United invested a lot in the midfield today, it depends on whether they can help Van Persie in the frontcourt find the defensive loopholes of Sheffield United!"

Although Zhan Jun is a Liverpool fan, he has always admired Wayne Rooney, a core player of Manchester United.

As a superstar, he is always willing to make sacrifices for the team. The key is to be able to bear the pressure. The striker and midfielder are shoulder-to-shoulder, and there is no difficulty in adapting.

Ferguson's arrangement today can be regarded as barely solving the problem of Manchester United's lack of midfield control and ability to break the press.

But still the same sentence, you Rooney retreated, and then only Van Persie was the most threatening point in front of him. Letting Van Persie attack Sheffield United's defense line of three central defenders alone is a bit unreliable.

And today Manchester United's offensive players on both wings are Ryan Giggs and Welbeck.

After Raphael was injured, in order to limit Bale's performance, Ferguson could only arrange Ashley Young to the right back position. This made Manchester United's two-wing starting arrangement have to make huge adjustments. The offensive threat is much smaller than before. too much.

Today, Sheffield United raised the premise of defenders on both sides. After this increase and decrease, Manchester United's advancement became more difficult, while the defensive task of Sheffield United's two wing backs was a little easier.

At least after the start of the game, Manchester United's several attempts to advance from the side were forced back by Sheffield United. Welbeck was even more forceful and almost turned into a quick counterattack after Matt Ridge intercepted the ball, attracting Cary. Ke kept signaling Welbeck not to go up.

Heibei's momentum is there, and he is active both offensively and defensively, but sometimes he seems a bit single-minded. Carrick has to always pay attention to his offensive and defensive choices and remind him not to make mistakes.

Fletcher's frequent injuries left Carrick without his best midfield partner in recent years for the rest of the season.

Anderson, who is no longer aura, can only say that there is not much problem with his performance, but Carrick does not expect him to help him share too much defensive and organizational pressure.

Like Rooney, Carrick, who has a heavy responsibility, is very eager to have a trustworthy companion by his side at this time.

Originally, the Japanese midfielder could become the core figure of Manchester United's new generation of midfielders, and Carrick is more convinced of the opponent's skills, but his physical fitness is really unable to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

Ferguson also gave Shinji Kagawa a lot of opportunities in the previous few league games, allowing him to find out more, but he did not dare to send Shinji Kagawa to start this game.

The fear is that under the strong impact of Sheffield United, the Japanese midfielder will not be able to withstand the pressure and become a breakthrough.

After adapting to this way for a season, Carrick's sense of expectation for Shinji Kagawa has almost worn away.

In the end, Manchester United's midfield has to rely on him, the "noodle midfielder" who was called a softie by fans a few years ago.

Carrick smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued to direct his teammates around him with a trace of helplessness.

For Sheffield United, Carrick didn't dare to relax even a bit. Regardless of the fact that Manchester United is still in the rhythm of attack, Sheffield United may launch a fatal counterattack after stealing the ball at any time.

So Anderson and Welbeck can think less and follow the instructions to play the game step by step, but he has to think more.

In the 13th minute of the first half, at the moment when Li Mo was cruising from the right to the center, Medel, who had just completed stealing the ball, directly sent a long pass over the top. At the critical moment, it happened that Carrick boldly went forward to pass the ball. Remember the pass to the top of the sideline.

Sufficient caution and vigilance allowed Carrick to help Manchester United resolve a defensive crisis, but after completing this interception, Carrick was even more worried.

Because he was the only one who read Sheffield United's counterattack intention for the first time just now, and Anderson basically didn't respond when he was beside him.

If the fight continues like this, he can stop it once or twice, but after Sheffield United tries more, he is not on the counterattack route of the opponent, so who will destroy the interception?
Rooney's ability to retreat to the midfield to organize and advance with the ball has already sacrificed a lot. If Rooney helps defend, the little fat man will have to be exhausted.

After hesitating for a moment, Carrick could only choose to slow down.

At least now Manchester United needs to devote more energy to the offensive end, and he has to bear this defensive pressure if he can't bear it!

After the disastrous defeat to Sheffield United in the previous few games, the Manchester United midfielders headed by him have been sprayed to pieces by fans from all walks of life, so it doesn't matter if this game is sprayed again, as long as they can win, Carrick I feel that no amount of scolding will do.

With the expectations of teammates and countless fans, Manchester United's offensive players in the frontcourt tried their best to try to disintegrate Sheffield United's midfield defense.

Driven by Wayne Rooney and restrained by going forward, Giggs' side and Van Persie, who often withdraws from the penalty area, actually got a lot of opportunities to get the ball.

But they are still too far away from Sheffield United's restricted area.

Van Persie basically can't get the ball without withdrawing from the penalty area. This is an unsolvable problem.

Just like Rooney helped Van Persie contain the defensive force in the frontcourt, Manchester United's midfield was out of control, Rooney retreated to stabilize the midfield, and Van Persie was alone and helpless. You choose one side and ignore the other. You always have to make a choice .

The confidence in Ferguson's heart is slowly dissipating with the passage of time on the court.

After all, he overestimated the ability of Manchester United's offensive system to break through dense defenses.

In the past few years, the lineup disadvantages suppressed by Manchester United's two league championships have been stitched together, and it has completely exploded this year.

When you meet other Premier League opponents who are in decline, these problems are not fatal. After all, if you have a weird midfielder and a backcourt, and your offensive firepower is fierce enough, other worse teams will naturally help cover up the problems.

But last year, a Manchester City, this year, a Sheffield United, so that the flaws in Manchester United's lineup were thoroughly displayed in front of fans all over the world.

Not long ago, Real Madrid's home comeback at Manchester United also relied on a targeted attack on Manchester United's midfield.

Under Sheffield United's super targeting, Manchester United can't press the wings and the center. No matter how strong Rooney's personal ability is, he will not be able to drive Manchester United's midfield back to the appearance of the 07-08 season.

Ferguson really felt regret. He has no regrets. He has won two league titles with this Manchester United team. He has nothing to regret.

It's just a pity that after winning the championship last year, they didn't directly spend money to start a big change in the midfield and backcourt.

His habitual betting on offensive stars made Manchester United lose the possibility of competing with Sheffield United for at least three seasons in the future.

What is even more regrettable is that he is no longer at the helm of the Red Devils' rebuilding work. What kind of change this great team will take in the future depends on what kind of transformation ideas his successor has.

And Ferguson, who has limited energy, can't manage so much anymore. This is his last coaching season. He has obtained everything, and he doesn't have enough time to get rid of another "new madman".

"If you can bid farewell to Old Trafford with a championship trophy, it would be a fantastic thing, it's a pity"

After sorting out the existing problems of the team, Ferguson felt relieved.

Even if he is three years younger, he is confident that he will spend another two seasons rebuilding, and then have the final battle with Speed's Sheffield United.

But now, it's time to let go.

The ending of last season was satisfactory enough, and the coaching this season was an unplanned surprise. Before returning to family life peacefully, it was time for him to enjoy football.

"Manchester United, which has been unable to attack for a long time, has encountered the most threatening counterattack since the start of the game! The two wing backs of Sheffield United are resolutely plugging in! Bell is even moving closer to the center. At this moment, Sheffield United is not Only two superstars were running, and as many as six Sheffield United players instantly suppressed Manchester United's defense!"

In Zhan Jun's excited commentary, Sheffield United seized the opportunity of Manchester United's offensive error in the No. 207 minute of the first half and launched a quick counterattack.

The ball was pushed quickly from Sheffield United's backcourt into United's hinterland, and Dembele slid the ball down United's right before Carrick tried to foul.

Ashley Young was still returning to defense, Ferdinand stared at Bale not giving up his defense zone and easily pulled to the side. Matt Ridge, who got the ball, went down and swept the ball directly into Manchester United's penalty area!

Bell's running position at the front point forced Ferdinand to stick close to it, but Bell missed the point spiritually. While taking away Ferdinand, he also gave the ball to Li Mo, who raised his hand at the back point.

Vidic was tightly entangled with Li Mo, making up his mind that he would never give Li Mo an easy chance.

But Li Mo took the initiative to run two steps towards the incoming ball, leaning against Vidic with his back while leading the ball to the left side of his body with his left foot.

Then, with his back to the goal, Li Mo quickly dribbled the ball with his right foot to complete a substantial turn!

This forcible turn to catch the ball was done in one go. Vidic tried his best to squeeze Li Mo to the edge of the penalty area, but Li Mo didn't care, all he wanted was to complete the turn smoothly!
After gaining a narrow footing space, Li Mo took the initiative to cling to Vidic and completed the movement of swinging his legs vigorously!
Vidic is considered clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness. The close position of him and Li Mo made it difficult for him to make the movement of going down to the ground to intercept.

So under the background of De Gea's expletive and hasty save, Li Mo's explosive shot went straight to the far corner of Manchester United's goal!

Captured by the live camera, the football almost became an afterimage, violently and savagely piercing through De Gea's ten fingers, and finally jacking up the net fiercely, which vented the terrifying momentum , and finally landed obediently on the turf inside the goal!

All of a sudden, the fans of the home team in Old Trafford were completely silent, only the crazy cheers from the fans area of ​​Sheffield United's visiting team went straight into the sky, which was so piercing in the ears of Manchester United fans!
Li Mo once again stood on the bottom line and raised his three fingers high, with a smile on his lips. He didn't say anything, but he believed that Manchester United fans knew everything.

Sure enough, the Manchester United fans who saw Li Mo's celebration, whether they were the Manchester United fans at the scene at the moment or the Manchester United fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, all woke up!
A wave of the most primitive anger and impulse rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Boo!The boos that overshadowed the cheers of the Sheffield United fans suddenly filled the entire Old Trafford stadium!
Li Mo's three fingers seem to be like three loud slaps on the face of every Manchester United fan!

The last time was because Sheffield United killed Manchester United three times across the season. This time, Sheffield United is about to kill Manchester United for the third time this season!
Rooney lost his mind. He held back the previous few times. After all, his skills are inferior to others. He can afford to lose. He just wants to return to Sheffield United and Li Mo on the court.

But this time he really couldn't take it anymore, and immediately rushed towards Li Mo to ask for an explanation.

Although he was quickly stopped by his teammates on the way, Li Mo quickly looked over the chaos caused.

"You lose."

Facing Rooney's angry gaze, Li Mo just grinned and uttered two simple words.

Sheffield United won with dignity, and Manchester United had almost no power to fight back. If you beat you three times, it would be four times. What else do you have to be angry about?
It's time to wake up, let go of your unnecessary dignity, and start over from scratch!

Chelsea's reconstruction work is almost halfway through, and Manchester City is also contacting more famous football coaches. Even Liverpool has recently begun to catch up. Manchester United, it's time to wake up!

One last glance at the stunned Rooney, Li Mo ignored the reactions of the Manchester United players, turned around and celebrated the goal with his teammates.

After Speed ​​threw his fists passionately on the sidelines to celebrate, he quickly pulled the assistant coach to discuss further tactics against Manchester United.

They want to completely suppress Manchester United, so that Manchester United cannot turn around. They want to use this victory to declare one thing generously:
The FA can prepare the league championship award ceremony for Sheffield United in advance!
