Chapter 380

"Viewers friends, let's continue to understand Barcelona's starting lineup. Where did we just say that? Let's start from the beginning. The Spanish team has a 4-3-3 formation. Their goalkeeper is Hesper. The back line is Celades, Okunovo, Reziger and Sergi from left to right.

Their three midfielders are Giovanni, Xavi and Rivaldo, with Figo on the right, Zenden on the left and Anderson coming forward.

Looking at the lineup, you can tell that this is a formation that is good at passing and cooperating. Barcelona coach Van Gaal must have done enough homework, so he avoided Manchester United's muscular midfielder and restrained the opponent through a few passing players.

But he probably didn't expect that Manchester United would send Paul Scholes.

In addition, Wes Brown's appearance is also surprising, and Alex's choice is very bold.But how effective it is, we can't comment on it. "

Martin Taylor commented on Manchester United's formation with relish. Just from the formation, it can be seen that the two head coaches have been secretly observing each other for a long time.

Keane and Jonker are unanimously considered by the media to be the most well-known midfielders in the Premier League's current 4-4-2 formation. The two can pass and play, and they are invincible in the first 6 rounds of the game.

The arrival of Jonker squeezed Butt and Scholes onto the bench. The two had established a good understanding at the beginning of the season. Even the Arsenal midfielder led by Vieira was so positive that they had no temper.

The media did not expect Ferguson to spend only 400 million pounds to equip the team with a Dutch midfielder with excellent physical fitness, comprehensive skills, and heavy artillery.

If you insist on saying that Manchester United's midfield combination is insufficient, it probably lacks some creativity.

But creativity is like a kind of metaphysics. You can't tell what it is like, but it does exist.

So Van Gaal chose to use Harvey with two Brazilians, playing three-on-two in the middle, and bypassing the strongest part of Manchester United's backcourt by passing the ball non-stop.

"Louis was taking notes in a notebook and seeing United play Gary at centre-back he probably regretted not having Patrick.

I'd love to know how Mr. Alex would use Gary Neville, who is only 1m tall, as a centre-back.

Strange, I remember that Gary’s height in the first two seasons was 1 meters, why did he grow taller again?”

The game lasted less than 5 minutes, and Ferguson quickly adjusted the formation. He let Beckham recover to the center, and then let Giggs move forward. Manchester United's formation also became 4-3-3.

From the opening to the present, Beckham's eyes have not been removed from the opponent's No. 26 body.

The short, childish-looking player is like a wind-up mechanical toy, which has been moving at a constant speed from the moment the whistle blew, and looks a bit like a marathon runner.

This weak-looking little man obviously has a hand, he is like a programmed robot, always drilling into the opponent's gap.

When a teammate passes the football to his feet, he usually does not adjust, and directly transfers the ball to the neutral position, which is simply a robot.

Ferguson dared to use children, and Van Gaal did not give up.

Harvey is 18 years old and Wes Brown is 19 years old. The two dare to train young players in such an important event. This is not a pattern that ordinary coaches can achieve.

Beckham moved into the middle and Giggs moved forward and the changes were effective.With Beckham by his side, Scholes followed Xavi around the pitch with impunity.

Facing Harvey, who can pass the ball with any part of the sneakers, Scholes was really amused, and a few steps up to catch up with the opponent was a high tackle.

A high tackle, as the name suggests, is a vicious tackle that raises the foot up to someone else's calf.

Seeing Scholes' tackle, Beckham could only sigh. This guy closed his eyes when he tackled the ball.

But this time Scholes won the bet. Little Harvey had never seen such a tackle since he was a child. He jumped up in fright, but the football was shoveled in the direction of Rivaldo.

Scholes's pass not only failed to intercept successfully, but also passed the ball to the threatening Rivaldo, which was simply a disservice.

Just when Beckham was about to fight back, a figure came from far to near, and then rushed to touch the ball in front of Rivaldo, and then passed the ball to the right.

Beckham immediately moved laterally, catching up to the ball in front of half-time, and before his eyes a deserted passage appeared.

Beckham immediately dribbled the ball forward along the sidewalk, and Rivaldo behind him took two steps and slowly strolled on the ground.

It can be seen that the Brazilian is not very keen on defense, and Van Gaal was so angry that he yelled on the sidelines.

Little Harvey, who was the first to rush up, bravely leaned his body on Beckham's shoulder, and the latter slumped his shoulder to the left, and the little man "disappeared in ashes" instantly.

"Oh, this boy was blown away by David. The difference in the confrontation ability between the two is too great. He can't stop David at all."

While speaking, Beckham was already parallel to the penalty area. Barcelona left back Sergi didn't dare to attack. He retreated and called his teammates to help defend.

"Barcelona's left-back was very afraid of David's breakthrough. He kept retreating. David decisively chose to cross. Alan scored with a header and scored!"

1 is better than 1!

Manchester United recovered a goal in the 9th minute of the game.

"The pace of this game is very fast. The two sides jointly contributed two goals in less than 10 minutes. Let's watch the slow-motion replay."

"Wes is quick, he's quick on his reflexes, his tackling kicks off United's counter-attack."

"The Brazilian midfielder didn't chase with all his strength. David easily broke into the opponent's hinterland. During this period, only the boy named Xavi tried to intercept him. But with all due respect, this kid is still growing, and his collision with David is not at the same level."

"Barcelona's left-back Sergi seems too afraid of David, so it can be seen that doing too much homework is not good!"

While speaking, the broadcast camera returned to the stadium, Harvey was rolling on the ground with his ankles in his arms, and the referee showed Scholes a yellow card.

The game entered slow-motion replay again, and Scholes put the shovel head-on this time, with his eyes still closed.

Harvey Jr. was not slow to react. He jumped up when he saw the opponent's tackle, but he still couldn't dodge it completely. He was shoveled to his ankle in the air, turned half a circle in the air and fell to the ground sideways.

Angrily, Van Gaal asked the fourth official to reason, and Ferguson shook his hands while talking angrily.

Beckham guessed that the old man was saying that the other side made a fuss, and Van Gaal, who created the golden generation of Ajax, obviously didn't buy it. The two quarreled for a while before walking back to their respective coaches' benches.

Harvey, who was shoveled to his ankle, not only had lingering fears but also had difficulty moving. He was obviously not as active as before in the next game.

Xavi didn't take the ball, the two Brazilian players of Barcelona were attacking vigorously, and the defense was like a dead fish, and the offensive and defensive imbalance soon appeared.

In the 21st minute, Giggs dribbled the ball from the left and changed directions continuously, knocking down Barcelona right back Herrades, and then raised his foot to hit the goal. Nigerian central defender Okunovo immediately put a shovel, unexpectedly ate the Welshman Fake action.

Giggs passed the Nigerian central defender, and only the goalkeeper was left in front of him. He raised his foot and hit the goal. The Barcelona goalkeeper was too late to save, and could only watch the football fly into the upper right corner of the goal.

2 is better than 1!

It took only 20 minutes for Manchester United to overtake the score after conceding a goal. Not only did Barcelona's technical midfielder not limit Manchester United, but was caught by the opponent's weakness, frantically pressed, and scored 2 goals in a row.

Manchester United's scoring performance was not over yet, they once again seized the loopholes in Rivaldo's walk defense in the 34th minute.

Beckham passed the ball into space, and the unmarked Wes Brown dribbled the ball along the sidewalk for 30 meters without being marked. He dribbled the ball to the parallel position of the penalty area and immediately passed it. It looked like he was performing a choreographed show.

Okunovo leaped high and collided with Shearer and was bounced aside. The England center forward slid the header wide and Yorke slammed it around the post.

3 is better than 1!

"Barcelona conceded 3 goals in the first half, their lineup was a bit out of balance, it feels like the game has been accounted for!"

Martin Taylor happily evaluated the performance of the two sides, and the halftime game ended in a blink of an eye.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona still did not improve, and finally lost the first game of the group stage 1-3.
