Chapter 276 When a defender does not play defense... (39100)
Seeing what Duncan meant, Otamendi was very happy. With the experience of "carrying a knife" in the last match against Liverpool, Otamendi suddenly became interested in the role of "carrying a knife guard".
Always pestering Thiago Silva, let him teach some dribbling skills.
In normal times, he always studies the skills of defenders participating in offense, so he has some experience.
When defenders don't play defense, someone is always going to get hurt.
Either the other party or yourself.
But Duncan kept pressing him and kept him from participating in the offense.
Until now.
Although Duncan made a deployment, Otamendi knew that his duty was mainly to defend, so he did not advance immediately, but patiently looked for opportunities.
In the 72nd minute, the two sides fell into a stalemate in the frontcourt. Anderson took the ball and gave the ball to Gibson when he saw that there was no chance to pass the ball.
Gibson had a shot from long range, but City defended him tightly and prevented him from getting close to the penalty area.
Gibson took the ball a few steps horizontally, and Ireland defending him was very patient, but did not go up to grab it, and did not give Gibson a chance to pass himself.
Gibson thought for a while, and passed the ball back to Scholes, who was not far behind. Scholes had Aguero beside him, and quickly returned the ball.
The ball is a bit slow.
Before Gibson got the ball, Otamendi ran over like the wind and got stuck in front of Gibson.
Gibson was caught off guard. Ireland had never had such an uphill grab before.
The ball is lost.
"Wow, the Manchester City midfielder successfully steals the ball, Otamendi!" Andy Cole clamored.
As a central defender, when the opponent kicks, you rush to the center line to grab the ball, which is considered bold.
Otamendi did not hesitate at all. As soon as he got the ball, he took the ball and ran to the left. Petrov on the left ran to the center at the same time, and made a cross exchange with Otamendi, which attracted Manchester United. The two defensive players Scholes and Gibson.
Petrov used his excellent speed in the first half to overwhelm Manchester United's defense.
So as soon as he reached the middle, Manchester United quickly put all their heavy troops here.
But Otamendi didn't pass the ball, he kept dribbling the ball on the left, and after a one-two with Ashley Young who was plugging in, he broke through to the left side of Manchester United's penalty area, near the baseline. .
Then Otamendi glanced into the penalty area.
Is this guy going to shoot or pass?
What are shooting habits?
Do you prefer to pass the ball high or low?Far or straight?
Manchester United players look at me, I look at you, they all look confused.
This Nima is a central defender!
Manchester United right back O'Shea looked nervously at Otamendi.
Otamendi flicked his right foot forward, looked into the penalty area, and then curled a kick. O'Shea stretched out his foot to block it, but it didn't block it.
The football flew up, passed over the head of Evans who was chasing back, and fell straight to the back.
Is there anyone later?
Ljungberg is here!
Foster is a young player with inexperience. He was a little uncertain whether he would get the ball if he hit it by himself, so he simply kept the goal, lowered his center of gravity, and waited for Ljungberg to make a move.
A veteran always likes to watch.
When Ljungberg advanced, he was already optimistic about the team's position.
And Foster's keeping out of the goal also gave him a chance to deal with it calmly.
The calmness of the veteran was reflected at this time.
Ljungberg stopped the ball, then glanced at the goal, and suddenly passed an inverted triangle.
Diego Milito appeared in this position.
The Manchester United players were all stunned and surprised.
When did this guy appear here?Who marks him?where was he just now
In every Manchester United player's heart, there are such three questions.
Nobody knows.
Even in the whole game, Diego Milito is like an invisible man compared to Aguero's drop-back response and his contribution to the team's first goal.
On the surface, Milito seems to have no talent, average dribbling, average speed, average technique, and even shooting skills seem to be average.
As for the features...
It seems to be able to run?
But who in the Manchester City team can't run?Except for the central defender and the goalkeeper, who else is running up and down the field?Compared with them, Milito's "ability to run" seems to have become mediocre.
The audience is invisible, and he hardly appears in the camera many times.
In the first hour of this game, Milito's presence was meager.
Even the Manchester United players ignored Diego Milito.
But Duncan kept him on the court and didn't replace him.
Suddenly, perhaps apart from the opening kick-off, Milito appeared in the camera for the second time.
Unmarked, Milito dunked with his right foot, avoided Ferdinand's flying shovel, then swung his left calf and strafed.
There is no fancy dribbling, only calm stopping and solid shooting skills.
The football wasn't fast, but it rolled into the goal at the far end.
2: 1!
Go-ahead!
Diego Milito checked the football, then suddenly pulled the hem of his jersey and ran wildly.
Behind him, all the Manchester City players rushed over, celebrating excitedly, in a state of madness.
"Manchester City overtook! The sudden advance from defender Otamendi with a knife, just like Liverpool's game, his forward advance caught Manchester United off guard."
"It's not just Otamendi who caught Manchester United off guard, but also Milito, haha. If it wasn't for this shot, I wouldn't have known there was a striker in Manchester City. Where was he just now? What is he? When did you run to this position?"
Ferguson looked at the running Milito with cloudy eyes.
I was mistaken. This Milito usually performs mediocre, but at the moment of shooting, his mind is clear and his technique is reasonable.His movements are very simple, but there are no redundant movements. Every touch is very appropriate and reasonable, showing the nature of a top killer.
I didn't notice that there is such a big dragon hidden in the Manchester City team?
Ferguson glanced at Duncan again. Duncan was applauding for Milito's wonderful performance. When he noticed Ferguson's eyes, he responded with a smile.
At the peak of Milito, it is still controversial whether he was a top striker, but when he faced the goal, his sudden explosion was decided to be top!
Moreover, Milito has the halo of "goal in the final"!
There was no way out, Ferguson replaced Evans, replaced Giggs, pushed Wang Laoji up the front line, and made the last fight!
Duncan also made adjustments.
He quickly replaced Petrov, who had performed well in the game but was physically exhausted, with Heinze. Ashley Young went up to play left midfielder, and Heinze played left back. The purpose was to strengthen the defense. .
At the same time, Aguero was replaced, Mido was replaced, and the midfield defense was strengthened.
As soon as Giggs came up, he immediately began to sort out Manchester United's frontcourt attack. The old-fashioned combination of him and Scholes is a great deal for Manchester United.
But Duncan directly released the eight-door golden lock formation, protecting the entire midfield and backcourt into an iron curtain.
Manchester United does not have nuclear weapons. Ronaldo's personal breakthroughs always hit the wall.
However, the pressure of others was thunderous and rainy, and it gave Ashley Young and Ljungberg a chance to fight back.
It made their defensive players a little bit wary.
