Chapter 346 Planning an offense without the ball

( ) In fact, in Madibao’s formation, Zhuoyang is not far from Hamsik behind him.

Behind Zhuo Yang, there is a shallow saucer-shaped four-man midfielder in Madibao. In order to counter the attacks of Manchester United's two wings Rooney and Ronaldinho, Zhirkov will naturally go to greet Lu Xiaopang. His comprehensive attributes are naturally nothing. So worrying. Khedira, who is one of the central defenders, obviously leaned to the left today. He has to assist Zepek in taking care of Ronaldinho, leaving the important responsibility of protecting the two central defenders to Preuss. In this way, Hamsik naturally moves closer to the center, behind Zhuoyang for easy access, and looks more like a midfielder.

Uncle Klopp's arrangement is very effective. Once Manchester United's two wings cannot fly, Ruud van Nistelrooy in front will not make any splash at all. As for Manchester United's three-man midfielder, Keane focuses all his energy on Zhuoyang, and the other two, Fletcher and Richardson, can't give much support to the front, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Now that Ferguson has asked Keane to defend Zhuoyang closely, Uncle Zha decided to let Zhuoyang and midfielder Hamsik swap positions back and forth. The advantage of this is that once Zhuoyang loses the ball under the pressure of the midfielder, other teammates in the midfield can quickly counterattack; secondly, Zhuoyang's retreat increases his passing target from Gomez to Gomez alone. Metz and Hamsik, in this way, maximize his ability to organize offense.

Although this will make Zhuoyang further away from the Manchester United goal, his range of activities will become wider, and Keane will also be taken away from the original area by him. There will be loopholes in the Manchester United center, and the rest of Madibao will also There is more interleaving space. Zhuoyang's threat to the goal has decreased, but his threat to the entire court has not decreased.

Zhuo Yang also agreed with this change. He was temporarily trapped by Keane, but he was not too worried in his heart. The reason was simple: I am 20 years old and you are 34. Using non-stop running in a wide range to drive his opponents out of their minds, Zhuo Yang did this not once or twice. He was waiting for Keane's physical strength to decline or even dry up. Uncle Zha's adjustments just gave him a larger area to 'walk the dog'.

Zhuoyang's retracement will also bring "Shadow" Keane into the midfield, causing the area to be overcrowded and greatly hindering Fletcher's vision of the ball. On the contrary, the Madibao midfielder is better able to organize short pass penetration because of Zhuoyang's return.

All tactics are routines. On the whole, Madibao began to make continuous kicks in a large area, instead of blindly looking for Zhuoyang alone, and gradually entered the frontcourt through short passes. The finishing touch is that the positions of Zhuo Yang and Hamsik are swapped back and forth. When carrying out all-round tactical back-passing, the midfielder needs the running and fighting of Master Grenade to reduce the burden on Zhuoyang when he rushes into the frontcourt.

Zhuoyang led Keane to run around in the midfield, and even seriously affected the assault line of Rooney and Ronaldinho. Under the pressure of the Madibao people, they were more like two defensive full-backs than two midfielders. winger.

Returning to the midfield, Zhuo Yang has a broader vision, and his passing and organization are also more versatile. The team's front and rear scheduling is completely left to Khedira.

Therefore, in order to limit Khedira's support in the frontcourt, Fletcher had no choice but to step up and was forced to become a defensive midfielder. Look, can Manchester United still look at their current formation?

It's a pity that Fletcher, who plays as an attacking midfielder, is not as good at controlling the ball as Scholes. Keane, who plays as a defensive midfielder... In fact, he is not a midfielder at all. His true identity today is a bodyguard. Keane did almost a perfect job as a bodyguard, but his large-scale transfer and scheduling skills... with Zhuo Yang here, those don't exist!

The tactical effect that Uncle Zha and Zhuo Yang wanted began to be reflected. The next two shots from Madibao seriously threatened Van der Sar, both of which came from Zhuo Yang-Hamsik's line: In the 34th minute, Zhuo Yang Yang passed an overhead ball from the right, and Hamsik's volley shot was hit by Van der Sar's fingertips. In the third, Hamsik nodded the ball forward and was saved by Van der Sar from the near corner.

Sweat began to appear on the leaves of Keen's lungs!

The perseverant Keane still followed Zhuo Yang, and it was very difficult for Zhuo Yang to catch the ball. But Madibao's technical proficiency, as well as Zhuoyang and his teammates' understanding of the tactics used, allow him to organize wonderful offenses without even touching the football in many cases.

In the 44th minute, Khedira suddenly rushed to the frontcourt with the ball and went straight to the throat of Manchester United in the middle. At this time, Fletcher was far behind him, and Richardson was still on the left. Only captain Keane was in this key position.

Zhuoyang ran to the right without hesitation, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Keane. Keane didn't hesitate, raised his legs and followed. He must cut off all possible receiving routes for Zhuoyang, because in Keane's view, Zhuoyang without the ball is much more dangerous than Khedira with the ball.

Therefore, this scene looked as if Keane took the initiative to avoid Khedira and gave up this inevitable path to the German teenager.

Although Khedira is a defensive midfielder, he has quite good organizational and support abilities. Seeing this situation, of course he would not hesitate. He took two consecutive steps and was about to penetrate the Manchester United defense. Heinze, who was inward, could only drop Hamsik and rush up to block him. Khedira timely stuffed the football to the grenade that missed the penalty area.

In desperation, my grandfather Mertesacker could only defend Hamsik and the football. In this way, the Musketeer Gomez had a chance. When the ball reached his feet, there was only Edwin van der Sar between him and the goal.

Gomez bent his bow and nocked an arrow sideways, but before he could unleash a shocking blow, Ferdinand rushed up from behind and knocked him down near the 12-yard point with the ball. Ferdinand was even more helpless because this was his only choice.

Yellow card plus penalty kick! To be honest, Danish referee Christensen was obviously merciful.

Keane was breathing heavily and was helpless. He knew very well that the biggest responsibility for this ball lay with himself. It was he who gave way to the crucial channel in the middle, allowing Khedira to catch the Manchester United backline off guard. But if it happened again, Keane would still have no choice but to make the same choice. It is obvious that if he blocks Khedira, the football will be knocked to Zhuo Yang by Khedira. Zhuo Yang will also face the Manchester United defense without supervision. No one knows what he will do after getting the ball. Something comes out.

So for Keane, it was an unsolvable situation just now. He could only choose the opponent he thought was the most threatening, but this opponent was naturally Zhuoyang. Therefore, in this attack, Zhuo Yang didn't even touch the football, but he still planned a perfect killing move for Madibao.

Zhuoyang stood in front of the twelve yard point, and Keane could not still be close to him. Will Zhuo Yang make a mistake when taking a penalty kick? Haha, it doesn’t exist!
