Chapter 130
In the expectation of everyone.
The fifteen-minute halftime passed in a flash.
Before Su Fan and his team walked out of the player tunnel, they heard the powerful shouts from the stadium:
"Madrid! Must win!"
"Madrid! Must win!"
And soon, Falcao, Aguero, Simao and other main players of the team filed out of the tunnel one by one.
The cheers and shouts of the home fans reached a climax:
"Falcao!"
"Tiger! Tiger!"
"Defeat Su Fan! Smash Manchester United!"
At this moment, Su Fan walked out of the player tunnel with his teammates, facing the boos and curses of the home fans, with a faint smile on his face.
To receive such a passionate welcome from the home fans is also a side recognition of the strength of an away player...
Even superstars like C Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo and Beckham are not "immune" when they go to the stadiums of other leagues.
"After the two teams returned to the field, Manchester United also made personnel adjustments."
Based on the information provided by the game site, Zhan Jun explained to the audience:
"Head coach Ferguson replaced Owen, Nani and Hernandez at the same time, set up a 433 offensive formation, and strengthened the defense line at the same time."
"Obviously, Manchester United wanted to fight with Atletico Madrid in the 45 minutes of the second half and was unwilling to accept an away defeat."
"Bringing huge pressure back to Old Trafford to solve it is not Ferguson's coaching style, nor is it Su Shen's playing style."
"The Red Devils in the minds of the fans are also 'fast and slow' on the field. "The existence of a chic ranger who can cut the Gordian knot."
After saying that, he also expressed his concerns:
"However, Ferguson's substitution this time did not solve the major hidden dangers of the back line.
"It is more like replacing Nani and Hernandez, two offensive midfielders, to 'sweep' as much as possible on the defensive end to make up for the shortcomings of the defenders.
"But in fact, there are countless examples in the past that prove that such a method is only a temporary solution.
Then, he further explained the opponent's forward combination, but there are Aguero and Falcao, who are fast, smart, strong, and have strong header ability.
Therefore, Manchester United's substitution this time seems too risky.
But there is no way. Sir Alex Ferguson wants to keep Sufan with a top salary during this summer's transfer period, and on the other hand, he has to appease Rooney, Owen, Giggs and other main players.
I can't afford more money to compete with the "ghosts and monsters" outside for stars.
As for the defenders trained in the youth training camp...
They don't have enough game experience and are unable to take on the task for a while.
Directly putting them in such an important game as the Champions League is tantamount to "suicide"!
And the defenders in the team's second-line lineup...
They are more than enough to deal with the middle and lower teams in the league.
But when they meet the middle and upper teams like Tottenham and Everton...
It's a heart-pounding game.
Today's Atletico Madrid has the top striker in Europe, plus the team's tactics are appropriate, and they are at least in the top three in the Premier League.
Of course, it will be very difficult to play against them.
"Oh! Another corner kick opportunity!"
Zhan Jun couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the game situation:
"The goal scored by Falcao in the first half stoppage time was like a shot of adrenaline for the home team."
"In the fifteen minutes of the second half, they have been pressing Manchester United in the half court, with free kicks and continuous attacks from corner kicks."
"According to the official data comparison on the scene, including this time, Atletico Madrid has already taken twelve corner kicks and five set-piece opportunities."
"On the other hand, Manchester United only had two pitiful corner kicks and no set-pieces. With the score still one goal behind, this situation is quite bad..."
Speaking of this.
After hearing the referee's whistle, Simao quickly found the position of Falcao and Aguero in the crowd.
Then, he decisively attacked, kicked the ball in the direction of the goal, and kicked a textbook-like high cross!
"Let's see who can get the front point..."
The commentator stared at the changes on the field with wide eyes:
"Can Atletico Madrid seize this corner kick opportunity and score another goal?"
He hadn't finished speaking yet.
In Manchester United's small penalty area, both teams had players jumping up to meet the ball's landing point...
At this time, Ferguson on the sidelines quickly found Su Fan's figure in the crowd, but found...
At this time, Su Fan was being tied up by several defenders.
He didn't even have a chance to jump!
Seeing this, Sir Alex Ferguson felt his heart sink, and his face was full of uneasiness and anxiety.
At this time.
Falcao used explosive power toand his body muscle strength, forcibly knocking away the double-teaming of two substitute defenders of Manchester United.
Then, relying on his excellent air-staying ability, he finally squeezed out all the defensive players and got to the front point! !
"Bang..."
Just when Falcao's forehead touched the ball.
Several Manchester United defenders immediately jumped in front of the goal, trying to use their bodies to block the path of the football hitting the net!
The next moment!
Macheda, who jumped up, realized that Falcao's header was about to hit the upper right corner of the goal.
If he didn't stop it, with goalkeeper Van der Sar's vision blocked, the football would probably pass through his side and go directly into the net!
Thinking of this, he almost subconsciously raised his arm to block the trajectory of the football...
"Bang!"
In full view of the public, Macheda used his wrist to block Falcao's header, which was bound to win, out of the door.
At this moment, before the Manchester United fans had time to catch their breath, the referee blew a whistle to stop the game and quickly made a penalty.
"Red card plus penalty! The referee's decision was very decisive and there was no objection!"
The commentator laughed: "This is an obvious handball action!!"
"Although Macheda was eager to save the team at that time, he used a foul to prevent Falcao from scoring directly with a header."
"But this is at most a 'suspended death sentence' for Manchester United."
"With one less player and no substitutions, if Manchester United loses a goal in the away game, they will have to face the iron-blooded defense of the home team with a two-goal deficit."
"The final result will hardly be unexpected. They will leave the Metropolitan Stadium with a loss of more than two goals!!"
At this time, the Manchester United players on the field and the head coach Ferguson showed helplessness and frustration on their faces, while Su Fan looked indifferent.
"The header is of good quality, and the header to the lower right corner of the goal is also tricky enough."
He walked to Falcao who was standing at the penalty spot, stroking his right arm:
"After all, your dominant foot is your right foot, so subconsciously heading to the lower right corner of the goal is indeed more certain."
Falcao glared at Su Fan when he heard this.
He was about to counterattack, but he saw that Su Fan had turned right at this time, walked in front of Van der Sar, and whispered something, without any intention of communicating with him.
Then, Falcao subconsciously recalled Su Fan's words in his mind:
"My right foot is my dominant foot, so heading to the lower right corner will be more certain..."
He shook his head quickly, intending to calm down and think about how to take this penalty kick.
However, he couldn't help but glance at Sufan, and then he saw that the latter was still retreating to the right while chatting and laughing with Van der Sar...
"Hey, cheer up."
Just then, Falcao noticed Sufan on the right side of the goal, Waving to Manchester United teammates:
"There is still plenty of time, we will focus on the opponent's right side next!"
Falcao smiled coldly: "No matter how hard you try, you can't take victory away from the Metropolitan Stadium today."
After speaking, he clenched his fists, and then stared at the goal in front of him with full concentration. He couldn't help but glance at the lower right side of the goal with the corner of his eyes...
"The referee's whistle is about to sound, and Falcao can still stand calmly on the penalty spot. It seems that he has made sufficient preparations."
At this time, Zhan Jun felt helpless: "Perhaps, head coach Ferguson should now consider adjusting the formation to '441' to strengthen the team's defense."
"In the next game time, Manchester United actually needs to do most is not to lose the ball again!"
"If the formation focuses on offense when the defense is already weak, the score difference may be further widened."
"So, even though Ferguson doesn't want to, Suarez doesn't like it either."
"But for Manchester United, losing one goal, or two goals or more away from home, is the key to whether they can advance to the next round of the Champions League knockout stage."
"To be honest... if Falcao successfully scores this penalty, Manchester United's current situation, whether it wants to overtake or draw, will be very difficult!"
At this moment, not only Zhan Wei, but also the fans of China felt desperate:
"A tiger in a flat land is bullied by a dog! Manchester United's main lineup this year is very likely to compete for the Champions League title! If it weren't for injuries and rest, Atletico Madrid would not be so arrogant!"
"Oh... it seems that Manchester United's main defenders are sitting on the bench collectively, and even a draw today has become a luxury. I just hope Suarez can score a goal to make the point difference smaller."
"I have to admit that Atletico Madrid's pre-match preparations were very thorough, whether in tactics or playing style, as well as double-team formations.The configuration of arrows almost made Manchester United breathless. "
"Alas... When Suarez scored twice, I thought Manchester United could hold on, but who would have thought that their defense line would collapse and the result of the game was no longer suspenseful."
When Manchester United fans all over the world were "wailing all over the place" on the Internet.
At the Metropolitan Stadium.
The referee "beeped" and signaled Colombian striker Falcao that he could touch the ball!
At the same time!
Falcao stared at the goal with burning eyes, exhaled foul air, and seemed to have made a difficult decision.
Then, he took a few small steps on the spot, ran up, and hit the ball!
"Bang! "
Just when everyone thought that Falcao, nicknamed the Tiger, was going to hit the ball into the net with thunderous force...
The ball was rolling rapidly on the grass.
If it were any other time, or any other goalkeeper, there would be a certain probability that he would jump in the wrong direction, and then helplessly watch the ball roll into the goal line.
But Van der Sar is not so naive.
When he noticed that Falcao's body had a brief stiffening change before hitting the ball, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, secretly sighing at the captain Su Fan's intelligence, and made a judgment...
"Bang..."
The next second, the ball rolled to about one meter in front of the goal line, and goalkeeper Van der Sar's body had blocked it, and then easily wrapped the ball into his gloves.
"The goalkeeper has done a great job!"
Seeing this, Zhan Jun's voice was full of disbelief:
"Van der Sar confiscated Falcao's penalty! "
"I can't believe that at the critical moment of the team, it was the goalkeeper who stood up and saved Manchester United with such a heroic performance and saved the game!"
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something in his mind, and then exclaimed:
"I know!"
"Falcao's lack of strength in this penalty kick and the goalkeeper's ability to accurately predict the direction were not just luck, but..."
"Su Shen's psychological suggestion! "
Then, he quickly described how Sufan's words and actions in front of Falcao before he took the penalty kick were actually influencing his thinking direction.
This is like a magic trick of "guessing people's minds". The performer will first use a series of words and actions to subconsciously guide the audience.
After attracting the other party's attention, in the "revealing stage", let the audience subconsciously say the answer after being guided!
Of course, there is a huge premise for the guidance of psychological suggestion, that is, the performer must have enough influence on others.
For example, a well-dressed magician standing under the spotlight is naturally more attractive than the audience in the dark.
As for Sufan, he became famous in European football half a year ago.
Now he is the most popular player in the Premier League. The hot top center forward.
Compared with Sufan's salary and influence, Falcao is indeed far behind.
Therefore, he kicked this "weak" penalty kick after being disturbed by Sufan in the contact of more than ten seconds.
At this moment!
Falcao and others had no time to regret. Van der Sar quickly observed the running positions of his teammates, and then ignored the risk of being intercepted, executed Sufan's technique, and kicked directly! !
"Bang..."
Before Aguero and others rushed over to block, Van der Sar's pass was high and far, and soon fell near the center circle.
Until then, all the spectators inside and outside the stadium followed the transfer of the camera screen and noticed the main striker of Manchester United who had been ambushing on the wing...
Michael James Owen! !
"Bang! "
With no one guarding him, Owen easily stopped the ball before it rolled out of the sideline, then swung his arms, stepped forward with his legs, and quickly moved forward.
Sprint!
Sprint!
Sprint again!
Just three seconds later, Owen brought the ball to the opponent's penalty area!
"Bang..."
When Owen saw a defensive player of the opponent about to catch up with him, he made a decisive move and kicked the ball forward to the middle...
Park Ji-sung, who followed closely, immediately caught the pass steadily!
At this time, Atletico's defense line was basically in place.
When the fans and spectators in the stadium were shocked again by the well-trained play and efficient execution of Atletico players...
A black figure that looked very unsociable suddenly ran into their penalty area.
"Quick! "
Su Fan used his body to fight with the two tall and strong central defenders of the opponent, competing for position in the small penalty area, while his eyes widened and shouted:
"Cross! !"
He didn't finish his words.
Park Ji-sung gritted his teeth and hit the ball with the inside of his foot with great force, making the football draw a beautiful arc in the air and quickly fall towards the small penalty area...
"Bang!"
At this moment, Su Fan used his muscles and explosive power to overpower the two central defenders, and with nearly 0.888 seconds of air time, his forehead hit the football first...
De Gea, who was standing in front of the goal line, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Su Fan grab the header, but he quickly calmed down and rushed to the predicted position...
All the fans and spectators saw this, and their hearts immediately lifted, and the same question popped up in their minds:
"This ball..."
"Can it go in?"
The next second...
"Bang!"
De Gea's fingers vaguely touched the football!
Just when the home fans widened their eyes and prepared to cheer...
Another "bang" sounded!
This time...
It was indeed the sound of the football hitting the goal post that they expected to see, but it hit the upper right corner inside the goal post and completely crossed the goal line!
"Yeah!!"
Seeing this, more than 10,000 away fans in the stands immediately jumped up from their seats, waving their team logos and slogans, and cheering loudly:
"Su Shen!"
"Su Shen!"
"Su Shen is awesome!!!"
Zhan Jun was also in disbelief at this time: "Oh my God!"
"The tactical cooperation between Su Shen and his teammates..."
"It can't be said to be perfect, it's completely... too crazy!!"
"Van der Sar's bravery and agility, Owen's speed and explosiveness, Park Ji-sung's fighting and awareness, and Su Shen's fatal blow in the small penalty area..."
"They not only helped Manchester United escape, but also used this seemingly reckless but bold and careful style of play to help the team... survive from the brink of death!!"
Finally, when he made the final summary, his voice suddenly rose:
"At this moment, Manchester United led by Su Shen is obviously playing more iron-blooded and more fiercely than Atletico Madrid at home!!!"
On the court
After Su Fan completed a "hat trick" and helped the team equalize the score, he waved his hand to express his gratitude to the fans in the stands, and did not make any more celebrations.
"Captain... we are one man short now, do we still have to implement the predetermined offensive tactics?"
At this time, Nani ran over excitedly, smiling: "Your three goals must have kicked the Atletico guys out of their psychological shadows."
"If we insist on defense in the next game, it will be difficult for them to play threatening offenses again."
"So, if we strengthen our defense, we will have enough confidence to bring the game back to the Theatre of Dreams to solve it!"
Su Fan smiled and shook his head: "There is no need for that."
As he said, he pointed at Falcao, with a slight smile on his face:
"Did you see the Atletico players looking at us with a covetous look at this time?"
"I don't care if Falcao and others can pose a threat to our goal again."
"It's just that if we, Manchester United, have to use defensive tactics even against a 'pseudo-giant' like Atletico Madrid, we will be defeated." In order to draw the game, instead of getting angry, they put their teeth! "" What kind of morale do we have, challenging the "Cosmic Team" formed by the top players such as Ronaldo, Benzema, Ramos, and Ramos? " More and more perseverance: "How can there be an excuse to stay at home?" "How can there be a victory, the water is made?" "On the green field, there are only competitions on the narrow road, and some are just daring to light up the sword fighting spirit!" "We must continue to attack!" "Atletico Madrid is fierce than them!" "It is more active!" With Su Fan's remarks. The teammates suddenly swept away their fatigue and felt fighting. The loser needed to make excuses and reasons. And champions never need any excuses or reasons!
Win is win, lose is lose!
No one will accept a draw at the Metropolitan Arena today! !
