Chapter 407: Offensive and defensive

Some people say that life is a circle. Many things that have happened will sometimes be changed and reappear in people's lives. For Wolfsburg players, they have this feeling at this time. In the match against Dortmund, Mandzukic failed to make an empty goal, causing the morale of the Wolfsburg players to plummet. In the subsequent game, they were severely slaughtered by Dortmund and finally ushered in a defeat. In the face of Manchester United's game, they seemed to have become Dortmund's status in that game. Rooney missed the opportunity to stop the ball for five meters in the penalty area, and the morale of Manchester United's away game suddenly fell to the bottom.

With the top players playing like this, it is naturally difficult for Manchester United players to have fighting spirit in their hearts. For Wolfsburg, this is the best opportunity. Following Rooney's mistakes, the players of Wolfsburg immediately boosted their morale, and their offensive waves have also risen one after another.

Wolfsburg, which played at home, immediately launched an offensive under the boost of morale. They are unprecedentedly active on the court and want to score early and bring themselves the final victory in the group stage. However, their attack is also difficult to unfold for a while. Although Manchester United's Rooney did not play well, he had to Said that their defense is still quite good, in this regard, they still make Wolfsburg encountered a lot of trouble.

Until the game passed nearly 40 minutes, Wolfsburg still did not score. Their attack was always blocked by Manchester United and could not be a threat to forward.

In another offense, Shaheen, who dribbled the ball forward, was immediately blocked by Phil Jones. Compared to the last clash, the midfielder combination of Phil Jones and Fellaini obviously relied on their physical conditions to create more threats. Shaheen dribbled the ball forward but was intercepted just after passing the center line. There is no longer the ability to move forward.

On defense, Manchester United did quite well. Shaheen’s advancement was blocked, and with Phil Jones actively seeking confrontation, he could only stop at his feet and protect the football first. However, although the offense was in trouble, Shaheen didn't mean to admit defeat at all. While stopping the ball under his feet, he also raised his head. Searching forward for teammates who can cooperate with him.

In the face of defense, it is the most correct idea to rely on cooperation if one cannot do it alone. And Shahin's luck was obviously pretty good, when he raised his head. He also saw Gao Shunyao in front of him. Gao Shunyao was running back to meet him, and he was already in front of him.

Between the two of them, a pass can be formed, but even if the ball is given to Gao Shunyao, it still doesn't seem to have a good chance.

Manchester United's defense has suppressed Wolfsburg's lineup quite adequately, and they have made Wolfsburg players much deeper than the previous retracements. Compared with the usual Gao Shunyao catching the ball is usually located near the penalty area, this time Gao Shunyao responded and retreated about ten meters. And beside him, Smallin was still following him closely. Do not relax even one step.

Gao Shunyao is not a player who is good at breakthroughs. With a ten-meter retreat, his breakthrough ability will be greatly tested. Moreover, Smalin beside him keeps stepping, which makes Gao Shunyao's breakthrough even more difficult. Even if the ball reaches his feet, I am afraid that Wolfsburg's offense cannot continue. It seems more likely that Manchester United will be besieged and strangled.

And this is exactly what Manchester United expects. They want to rely on oppression to make Wolfsburg's attack helpless. Phil Jones and Smalling are marking people separately. Compressing Wolf Castle's offensive line as a whole moves backward, and if this kick is continued, Wolf Castle will naturally have little chance.

However, although Manchester United considered how to do the tactics, they ignored an important issue when implementing this tactic. The ability of the Wolfsburg players to cooperate is better than they thought. This is also the key to Manchester United's forgotten.

Perhaps after half an hour of cooling, the players of Wolfsburg are playing more astutely at this time. Faced with opportunities, they no longer boiled over, but consider how to break through. In 41 minutes, Wolfsburg's attack was also somewhat different from just now.

Facing Phil Jones' press, Shaheen still kicked the ball out. But Gao Shunyao, who was in front of him, did not choose to take the ball and break through. When the football passed, he kicked the ball back to Shaheen, then immediately changed direction and ran forward. Faced with this ball, Gao Shunyao did not choose to come by himself, he chose to cooperate with Sha Xin for a better.

His approach made the defensive players completely unexpected. Phil Jones had already let go of Shaheen when Shaheen passed the ball. When Shaheen passed the ball and continued to insert it, he did not follow up in time. But at this time, he could only chase it again. Smalin, who was originally staring at Gao Shunyao, had to temporarily give up his defense against Gao Shunyao when he saw Shaheen dribbling the ball in, and rushed to block his pass.

After all, if Shaheen is inserted, then there is more than one point where Gao Shunyao can pass the ball, and he is even more threatening. Smallin couldn't just watch him pose a threat, he had to stop him.

It is a pity that Manchester United can stop Wolfsburg not by his ability, but by his own tactics. When Phil Jones was torn apart this link, Manchester United's letting go was no longer sharp. When Smalin pounced, Gao Shunyao ran out behind him, and Sha Xin passed the ball and fell precisely to Gao Shunyao's feet again.

With a three-footed pass, the two successfully passed Manchester United's defense. If you want to break through the solid front, the excellent connection in running is obviously one of the best ways.

At the edge of the penalty area, Gao Shunyao took the ball to his feet, and Mandzukic also came in another time, making Evans unable to defend Gao Shunyao. He took the ball and rushed directly into the penalty area. Now in front of him, only De Gea is the defender.

Such an opportunity is really exciting and inexplicable, Gao Shunyao also slowed down, wanting to try to break the goal. However, at this moment, he did not notice that Manchester United did not give up defense!

Smallin followed from behind, and he, who had been thrown away by Gao Shunyao, was actually relying on his own speed. Reached Gao Shunyao's side again!

I have to admit that although Wolfsburg's offense is very beautiful, it is for Manchester United. After all, they still looked down upon it a little. Because Sha Xin and Gao Shunyao cooperated too smoothly just now, the Manchester United defender was easily thrown away by them, and basically no threat was caused. So when Gao Shunyao broke through with the ball, he thought there was no threat, and his eyes were only Goalkeeper De Gea, but ignores the possibility of chasing back after the defender.

After all, Manchester United is currently playing poorly overall. Looking at Rooney's mental state in front of him, Gao Shunyao didn't think that the other party would have the motivation to chase back. but. This time, he obviously wrongly estimated the firm will of the Manchester United players. Although Rooney looked absent-minded, it did not mean that all Manchester United players were abolished.

At least Smallin has not lost his fighting spirit.

Although Smallin was fooled by Gao Shunyao and Sha Xin. However, he still caught up. His speed is not slow. While Gao Shunyao broke through the penalty area with the ball, he also rushed to Gao Shunyao's side. The opponent's guard behind him chased up, which also surprised Gao Shunyao, but Smalin was not a particularly strong opponent after all, and Gao Shunyao didn't particularly care. He flicked the ball under his feet, trying to pass Smallin, and then shot immediately.

But Smallin was obviously not prepared to give him this opportunity. When Gao Shunyao dialed the ball, he did not grab it. Instead, she clung to her and continued to interfere with Gao Shunyao. Rather than rushing to grab a gambling opportunity, he would rather just interfere with Gao Shunyao. It is enough to make him unable to shoot.

De Gea also read his intention very clearly. He knew that Sima Lin could not complete such a defense alone. When he interfered with Gao Shunyao, De Gea also rushed up. He attacked in time and blocked Gao Shunyao's only shooting angle. The two collaborated to lock Gao Shunyao in the penalty area.

Even in the most unfavorable state. Manchester United players still built a defensive net to prevent their goal from being broken by their opponents.

Smalin's pursuit and De Gea's attack made Gao Shunyao's opportunity almost completely lost at this time. He had already breached the penalty area, but did not form a shot. At this time, Gao Shunyao faced an embarrassment similar to Rooney.

Manchester United's defense is not so easy to break through. They still have some strength, which can be uncomfortable.

Although facing embarrassment, fortunately compared to Rooney, Gao Shunyao at least has not let the football out of his control, and in the face of strict defense, he also knows what to do. In front of Smallin, Gao Shunyao controlled the ball, turned around in one step, and kicked the ball toward the back row.

Gao Shunyao's pass was a bit unexpected. He was already almost rushing to the small penalty area. He got the ball from this position. For a forward, it would be too difficult for a forward to give up his shot. However, Smallin’s defense and stalking obviously caused Gao Shunyao a lot of trouble, and De Gea’s attack made Gao Shunyao’s shooting angle almost non-existent. In this case , It is the best way to post back. Compared with being **** your own and passing back a kick, there may be more opportunities.

Most people don't do this, but Gao Shunyao is very clear about what cooperation can bring to his team.

Behind Gao Shunyao~www.ltnovel.com~ Mandzukic also did a plug in with him just now. It's just that he was pulling Evans away just now, and he didn't interact much with Gao Shunyao. But when Gao Shunyao turned around, he had already read Gao Shunyao's intentions and started to move. When Gao Shunyao passed the ball, he had already thrown off Evans, and the football just fell under his feet, at the edge of the penalty area. On, he got the football.

Neither Smalin nor Evans was by his side, De Gea had already abandoned the door, and Mandzukic had an extraordinary opportunity in front of his eyes. Faced with this opportunity, Mandzukic didn't hesitate at all. He lightly picked the football under his feet, picked the ball over his head, and let it fly toward the goal!

Beautiful shots and goalkeepers who have already attacked. When the two meet together, anyone knows what will happen.

"The ball is scored!"

As the football fell into the net, there was a burst of cheers around the stadium. At this time, Mandzukic also raised his hands high in the front of the penalty area: not long ago, his mistake caused the team to suffer a defeat in the league, and that defeat gave him a big blow. However, as a forward, such a failure cannot knock him down. And such a good opportunity, he will not waste a second time! (To be continued)
