The Ball at Your Feet

The two signings that Manchester United suddenly completed are indeed quite surprising.

In fact, in the habit of Manchester United, it is generally not in the middle of the season, that is, when the transfer is in the winter. Ferguson is a very cautious and comprehensive person. He generally likes to prepare his lineup at the beginning of the season. As a champion coach, this is indeed a very necessary ability. Manchester United has been able to dominate the Premier League for so many years, and their preparation before each season is not unrelated.

However, this season's Manchester United, the loss is a bit too big, they have to sign. Heinze's cruciate ligament injury, coupled with Alan Smith's broken leg problem, two players were scrapped at once, coupled with Keane's departure, Manchester United's backcourt problem is quite big.

Now in Manchester United's backcourt, Van der Sar has made up for the goalkeeper's shortcomings, while Ferdinand is a pillar character, but except for the two of them, people in other positions are not very reliable. Although Gary Neville is still performing well, he is not young anymore, and Brown, O'Shea, and Richardson, who were once high hopes by the fans, are far inferior to the 92nd class. Sylvester, who has problems playing central defender, is simply used to cheat people with such a defensive line.

And this time, Ferguson is obviously also in a big fight, ready to buy people to fill the vacancy of the back line. A while ago, Zhao Yaning heard Evra mention that Manchester United’s plan to introduce him, and now, in addition to Evra, they are still buying Lucio and Kompany at one go. Such a handwriting is somewhat It's really amazing.

Kompany has long been heard of by Zhao Yaning, and he even ran for the European Golden Boy Award with Zhao Yaning and became famous early on. His strength has always been recognized by many people, just because the environment of the Belgian league is a little worse after all. Although his performance there is good, it is difficult to be a criterion for judging strength. Therefore, although Manchester United Both Milan and Milan are very interesting to him, but they have never meant to buy him.

Only at this time, Manchester United's midfielder problem is too big. Alan Smith broke his leg, Keane was terminated, and now Manchester United, there is really no one available in the midfielder position. After all, their own O'Shea is a bit worse in this position, and Park Ji-sung and Giggs have played in this position for a few games, but they are not very good. No one's plight forced Manchester United to buy players.

It is a pity that several of Manchester United's players who want to introduce are all impossible to come now: Essien has gone to Chelsea, so naturally there is no need to say more. And Barack is playing the second season of the'three months' contract extension with Bayern, and it is impossible to come to Manchester United. Even the local players that Manchester United have targeted, Carrick, who plays for Tottenham, have been told by Tottenham that it is impossible to transfer-this season, Tottenham are competing for the top four positions, overwhelming their rivals in North London. Thoughts are their great pursuit. At this time, how can they easily sell their players?

For all these reasons, Ferguson had to buy Kompany: Although he may not be suitable or easy to use, at least, he is willing to come, which is better than anything.

In addition to the signings at the midfielder position, they also have signings at the back position: this signing decision was a decision that made the fans cheer. Too much trouble, to find a good partner for Ferdinand, has been spreading for several years.

Ferdinand has always been considered the top central defender in England, and even the top central defender in the world. But what is his strength? Zhao Yaning always felt that he was not as good as the English boasted.

Yes, as a defender, he has much better skills than other England defenders. Compared with Terry, Campbell, and Carragher, he is indeed a person with delicate skills at his feet. But this exquisiteness is only limited to the level of England players. Compared with other top technically excellent defenders in the world, it is a lot worse. Few dribbles in, rarely long passes to find the frontcourt. In terms of technology, he is far behind the Serie A defenders after all.

Of course, dribbling and long passes are not necessary guard skills. Being able to break the ball and pass the ball is enough for a defender. What's more, Ferdinand still has excellent physical fitness. The top turnaround speed in the defender. Such speed and physical fitness are extremely important things in the defender, and it is also something that makes him a level beyond Carragher.

When he is not distracted, Ferdinand is also considered top in the Premier League.

He has never met a good partner at Manchester United all the time. Not only is the central defender partner cheating, but the goalkeeper behind is also cheating. Manchester United’s defense has always been a problem. It may also be because of the tactical reforms and the hope that a scavenger goalkeeper can’t be found, but Ferguson’s adjustments have not been great until In the summer, Ferguson bought Van der Sar, neither did he hold the attitude of long-term use, nor did he strengthen the guard. But unexpectedly, Van der Sar, who is in his thirties, played extremely well at Manchester United-in fact, I have to thank his predecessor for being extremely bad, which made Manchester United give him increased trust and tolerance. , So that he has enough time and opportunities to adapt, and now half of the season has passed, he has gradually adapted to Manchester United's play, making the goalkeeper link is no longer a problem, Manchester United naturally want a defender.

In the summer, Manchester United also paid attention to Vidic, but Ferguson did not make up his mind at the time. After Vidic arrived in Liverpool and played well in Liverpool, Ferguson began to regret not being able to buy him early. It's too late to say anything now, and they have to think about others.

For half the season, there have been many rumors that Manchester United will buy a defender, but the person who bought it turned out to be Lucio, which is still a bit surprising.

The defender Lúcio...Zhao Yaning thought about it carefully, but couldn't judge the strength of this defender.

Generally speaking, when it comes to central defenders, people are more of a defender who praises Europe. The offensive players in South America are indeed excellent, but the defensive players always feel that they are not strong enough.

Moreover, the position of defender, generally speaking, everyone has a common understanding: Serie A defenders are the best, because Serie A values ​​defense the most, focusing on defensive tactics, the defenders can also be more brilliant.

Therefore, everyone speaking of good defenders is to look at those defenders who play for the top Serie A giants. And because of the poor record of Inter Milan, in general, the defenders of Milan and Juventus are considered to be good defenders.

And Lucio...a Brazilian who plays in the Bundesliga, and there are often various media criticizing him for not being stable enough, and often there are problems with missing people. The strength of such a defender is still very doubtful.

But if you think about it carefully: Lucio's physical fitness is of course needless to say. It is almost the top speed and confrontation ability among the defenders, even if it is compared with Drogba. In terms of technical ability, the defense is clean and old, with strong forward ability, and the ability to dribble the ball. Among the central defenders, it is definitely at the top level. Compared with any defender, technically it is not inferior. Speaking of the most serious problem he was accused of moving forward too much and venting others, Zhao Yaning thought about it carefully. It seems that apart from directly assisting Irving to break through Brazil's gate in the 2002 World Cup, it seems that he hasn't been too much. The performance of the contest was wrong.

The top central defender is absolutely unambiguous in major matters and occasionally rash in minor matters. This is what Zhao Yaning has of him.

I just don't know, in his eyes, the Northwest Derby is a major or trivial matter.

Zhao Yaning can't tell whether this deal is good or bad. In the second half of the season, Liverpool will meet Bayern in the Champions League. He and Lucio will meet sooner or later, just don't know if it is in the Champions League or the League.

In fact, this has to be said to be a great advantage when Manchester United signed this year: Evra, Lucio, and even Anderlecht’s Kompany, all played in the Champions League. Players. If Manchester United are still in the UEFA Champions League, they would not be ruthless to buy these people. However, this year Manchester United was accidentally eliminated in the UEFA Champions League. Anyway, there will be no UEFA Champions League games in the second half of the year. These things do not need to be considered. Naturally, signings are also much more convenient.

After the transaction was completed, people discovered that after making up for the shortcomings of the backcourt, Manchester United's strength was no worse than Liverpool. The two teams clash, it is not necessarily who wins.

The core of Manchester United’s frontcourt has now shifted to Ronaldinho. In the past two and a half seasons, he has been constantly learning, and gradually learned to run without the ball, and can penetrate the middle to find someone who can grab a spot. Opportunities, more, is to be able to cross-transpose with teammates, which can make the attack on the frontcourt become smoother. And their two forwards: Saha and Rooney have the same characteristics, large range of activities, fast speed ~www.ltnovel.com~ get the ball well, can retreat to create a gap for Ronaldinho, Manchester United front three Every player now has the ability to turn around with the ball and form a breakthrough in a one-on-one situation. As a result, their chances are greatly increased.

In this season, Giggs also took the lead in completing his role transition: because Manchester United had no one to use in the first half of the season, Giggs was forced to play for a half-season midfielder, and gradually began to find himself. Positioning. He despised the previous style of relying on speed and explosive power on the side lanes, and began to try to run more freely and agilely, giving full play to his advantages in holding the ball, passing the ball, vision, and experience. After Manchester United got the ball in the backcourt, it was quickly handed over from him to the frontcourt, relying on the frontcourt players' cross movement and free movement to quickly complete the attack. This idea is indeed very good.

And when the game couldn’t start, both Giggs and Ronaldinho returned to the midfield and gave up the two sides to Neville and Evra, who are very capable of passing the bottom, and pulled away through the sides. Width, depth, and then center Saha, second center Rooney, and Cristiano Ronaldo formed three outflank points in the opponent's penalty area, trying to create opportunities.

This tactic is quite good. Although they abandoned Ruud van Nistelrooy, it seems that the knife has been cut very deeply, but after this knife, Manchester United's strength has indeed risen.

And in this game, it's hard to say who loses and who wins.
