Chapter 64 He Will Shock Europe [Second Update]

"The opponent's attacking power is very strong, especially their Chinese center forward"

In the visiting team's locker room.

Van Gaal is giving the Manchester United players, who have just returned from warm-up, a final pre-match mobilization.

Hear what Van Gaal said.

Manchester United players all looked at Martial.

Premier League players and fans probably rarely watch Ligue 1 games.

But Manchester United players are very familiar with the name Sunshine.

The main reason is naturally the "Golden Boy Dispute" at the end of last year.

At that time, the English media said that Martial would win the Golden Boy Award.

As a result, he was snatched away by Yang Guang who played for Monaco.

Martial looked calm and composed, still with a poker face that never frightened him.

Martial is probably in the best period of his career right now.

Because I also like the attacking method of cutting into the penalty area from the left side.

He was even dubbed "Little Henry" by the media.

But this "little Henry" was completely overshadowed by Monaco's "big Trezeguet".

In 25 rounds of the Premier League, Martial scored 12 goals.

Sunshine has scored 26 goals in Ligue 9 and goals in the Europa League.

Completely crushed Martial in terms of statistics.

Of course.

Martial thinks that this is due to the different intensities between Ligue 1 and the Premier League.

Even if Sunshine goes to the Premier League, he may not be able to score more goals than him.

"We have to control the ball and try not to let the opponent have more possession of the ball. We need to find space in their defense through cooperation between the wing and the middle. Our only goal in this game is to win!"

Van Gaal hopes to complete a tactical transformation at Manchester United and turn it into a team that is good at ball possession like the Dutch team.

the other side.

Yalding also gave a mobilization speech at the end.

".We have made sufficient preparations for how to play this game in the past few days. Remember, we can give up possession of the ball appropriately, but once they try to push the ball across the half court, we must immediately start pressing and increase the intensity of the game!"

This is different from Van Gaal's desire for the game to be stable.

Jardim would prefer to see a fast-paced game.

Because his players are young enough, Monaco can speed up the pace and wear down Manchester United who are trying to control the ball!

"Set up the stage, set up the stage!"

"Dear viewers, this is Zhuangdianer TV broadcasting the first round of the UEFA Europa League knockout match in the 2015-2016 season. Monaco will face Manchester United at home. Our Chinese player Yang Guang will start the match."

It's the knockout stage of the Europa League.

Because Yangguang's fame is growing.

CCTV also gave up broadcasting the Champions League and instead broadcast the Europa League, which attracted much attention in China.

Someone knows the comment area:
"It's about to begin!"

“Can Manchester United win?”

"Sunshine should be able to score a goal."

"Don't think that scoring a few goals in Ligue 1 is a big deal. Manchester United will let him know what the intensity of the Premier League is."

"After all, the intensity of Ligue 1 games is still lower."

"Tsk tsk, just wait for Sunshine to score a goal and slap him in the face."

"Heh, I have Admiral Smolin, who can control the sunlight."

Manchester United has a lot of fans.

In addition, Yang Hei took the opportunity to join forces with him, so that on the Internet, the two sides actually appeared to be evenly matched.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups for both teams in this game."

CCTV commentator He Wei stared at the starting lineup in his hand.

"First of all, on the Monaco side, the home team Monaco had a net loss in this game!"

"Sidibe is the right back, Germerson and Glick are the center backs, and Mendy is the left back.

Right midfielder Bernardo Silva, double central midfielders Fabinho and Bakayoko, and left midfielder Lemar.

Double striker: Sunshine and Mbappe. "

"Manchester United also did not hold back, with David De Gea as the starting goalkeeper and Chris Smalling and Phil Jones as the central defenders. In the previous games, Bryan Bolind, who started the game, sat on the bench. This may be because his height would be too disadvantageous if he defended Sunshine."

"Left back Rojo, right back Valencia, double defensive midfielders Carrick and Herrera, attacking midfielder Mata, left midfielder Martial, right midfielder Lingard, center forward Rooney!"

As the narrator spoke.

Players from both teams have also entered the court.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Manchester United, who kicked off first, passed the ball back all the way, and through cooperation between the flanks and the middle, passed the ball to the frontcourt.

soon.

The football was passed to the left wing.

This is the most threatening area of Manchester United's attack during this period.

Martial got the ball, Rojo moved forward, Rooney was also approaching this area, and Mata received the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

Martial passed the ball diagonally to Rooney, who made a sideways run and passed the ball back without stopping.

Martial meets the ball and shoots!
Judging from the shooting posture.

It does bear some resemblance to Henry.

However, the ball failed to hit the goal and went out of the bottom line after hitting the post.

"Martial! Oh danger!"

Although the goal was not scored.

But it still scared the Monaco fans in the stands.

They know Martial very well and know the power of his right-foot shot into the far corner from this area.

"The game had just begun when Manchester United launched a high-quality attack, and Martial's shot slipped out of the goal. Martial, who returned to Monaco, really has an extraordinary fighting spirit!"

"This is not good news for Monaco," He Wei said with some concern.

"Martial and Rooney's cooperation was wonderful, and his shot was just a hair's breadth away. Very high attacking quality. Although Manchester United is not in good form this season, they do have a solid foundation in European competitions."

The French commentator also believes that Monaco will face considerable difficulties in this game.

In the commentary box.

Gary Neville almost clenched his fist and cheered.

It was not until he saw the football fly out of the baseline that he slapped his thigh regretfully.

"Just play like this! Just play like this! Manchester United got into the game very early today and performed very well on the offensive end. If they can get an away goal first, Monaco will have to press forward and attack. Then Manchester United can defeat Monaco with a quick counterattack and eliminate the opponent in the first round!"

Carragher curled his lips: "The game has only started for less than three minutes, it's too early to say these, Gary, let's take a look at Monaco's attack."

Subasic placed the ball at the kick-off spot ready to take a goal kick.

Manchester United did not press high, but instead retreated and waited in battle near the center circle.

See this situation.

Subasic didn't kick the ball hard.

Instead, he passed the ball to center back Glick.

Fabinho dropped back to receive the ball.

The two central defenders pulled away.

The two full-backs press upwards.

B席 roamed towards the middle and stood behind the two forwards.

At the same time Lemar retreated.

This way.

Monaco's offensive formation unfolds.

Forming a 3412 position.

Fabinho returned to the back line and was responsible for passing the ball.

Lemar comes back to connect.

He received the pass from Fabinho and passed it to full-back Mendy.

After Mendy got the ball, B Silva and Mbappe both approached him.

Give him two points to pass the ball forward.

If these two points are ignored.

He can also choose to pass back or sideways.

These are all very conventional short passes to penetrate forward.

Manchester United players are also aware of this. They certainly cannot just watch their opponents pass the ball in an orderly manner. Instead, they immediately move according to the opponent's position and the position of the ball to cut off Mendy's passing route.

Valencia stares at Mbappe.

B Silva was targeted by Herrera.

It seems.

Mendy no longer has any forward passing options.

But he still chose to pass the ball forward.

A long horizontal pass.

The full-back on the other side has been quickly moved up - Monaco has gathered heavy troops on the left side, attracting all Manchester United players to this side. One of the purposes is to leave the right side empty and give right-back Sidibe space to move forward.

The football crossed the half court.

Flying straight to the right.

"Mendy's long pass to Sidibe! Beautiful!!"

"Be careful of Monaco's attack!"

"Sidibe is coming up!" There was chaos in the commentary booth.

"Come on!"

The fans at the scene cheered.

Before the ball hits the ground.

Sidibe stopped the ball forward and continued moving forward without slowing down.

Then, near the baseline, he raised his foot and passed the ball directly.

He didn't even look at the situation in the penalty area.

Because he knows.

Just pass the ball.

Just leave the matters within the restricted area to the sun.

After completing the pass.

Sidibe raised his head and looked towards the penalty area.

really.

There is sunlight in the restricted area.

He rushed up, jumped high, and headed the ball.

The football changed direction and was hit towards the goal!
Unfortunately.

The angle of the ball was slightly straighter.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea stretched out his hand and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

"Sunshine header! Oh my! De Gea! Very crucial save!"

He Wei held his head in his hands.

"Sunshine almost broke through the door!"

"It looks like this game won't be boring, both Sunshine and Martial are in very good form!"

"De Gea!! Godlike De Gea!"

The England commentator cheers for De Gea.

If De Gea hadn't reacted quickly enough.

Now Manchester United is already behind!

Gary Neville was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

When he came to his senses, B Silva had already headed for the corner flag area with the ball.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay! De Gea is in excellent form. However, Manchester United must not give the opponent such an opportunity!"

"Pay attention to defense!"

As he spoke.

B Silva kicked the ball out.

Yang Guang got the ball in the middle again. He headed the ball over Phil Jones and Smalling, but the ball went slightly wide.

After landing, the sunlight shook its head slightly.

The fans in the stadium shouted his name.

The atmosphere in the entire stadium was extremely warm.

Martial almost scored with a shot from inside.

Yangguang turned around and retaliated with two headers.

The attackers on both sides seem to be in very good condition.

Wait for this attack round to end.

The English commentator sighed: "People say that Yangguang's headers are very good. Now we can see directly how good his headers are!"

"Watch out for his header!"

Van Gaal chanted on the sidelines.

These words reached the ears of Yalding who was not far away.

He couldn't help but let a smile appear on the corner of his mouth.

Sunny's body shape is his best disguise.

He's very good at heading the ball.

but.
He's not just good at heading.

"Van Gaal won't know what kind of player his team is facing!"

He turned and said to his assistant.

"He will shock Europe."

Carlos led you to nod.

Monaco's two consecutive headers obviously made Manchester United fearful of Sunshine's heading ability.

They are clearly aware that their opponents have strong offensive capabilities.

Want to win the game.

They must gain control on the offensive end.

Come back.

Manchester United attacked.

Mata received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, but he was quickly double-teamed by Fabinho and Bakayoko and had to pass the ball to Lingard on the right.

Young player Lingard was very confident. He tried to pass Mendy, but was intercepted by Mendy.

"Mendy steals the ball...Monaco's counterattack is coming!"

Amid the exclamations of the commentators on the scene.

Mendy made another long pass.

This time.
Looking for sunshine!
The football drew a parabola in the air and fell towards the front of the penalty area.

Phil Jones ran out chasing the sunshine.

Carrick saw the opportunity and immediately retreated, intending to double-team Sunshine with Phil Jones.

But when Mendy passed the ball long to Sunshine.

Mbappe and B Silva immediately turned around and started to penetrate!
The camera swung over.

I only saw the football falling towards the sun.

Behind Sunshine, Phil Jones kept exerting force, trying to interfere.

Carrick also rushed towards Sunshine quickly. As long as Sunshine was not careful in stopping the ball, it was very likely that Manchester United would snatch the ball away and launch a counterattack.

In this situation, two attackers, B Silva and Mbappe, have already penetrated into the penalty area!

They have full trust in the sun.

"Mendy's lob pass. Sunshine! This ball is not easy to handle. Sunshine! Beautiful!!!"

The CCTV commentator stared at the monitor in front of him and suddenly started yelling.

in the screen.

The sun stretches out its feet.

The football landed on the instep of his foot, and his instep seemed to be glued to his foot.

With a graceful pass, Yangguang removed the force of the football and before the ball even hit the ground, he kicked the ball up with his right foot.

Like a swinging cow's tail.

at the same time.

He turned quickly.

Before Carrick and Phil Jones completed the double-team, he passed the ball and turned around Phil Jones and headed into the penalty area!

And where did his pass land?
On the left, the ribs!

"Sunshine. Ooooh! Artistic pass! Mbappe!!!"

Amid the sudden rise in cheers from the fans at the scene.

Mbappe received the ball past Valencia.

He almost got a one-on-one chance.

But De Gea reacted quickly.

He quickly attacked and blocked Mbappe's shooting angle.

But Mbappe did not intend to shoot.

He pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and passed it across the middle.

At this time in the screen.

A tall figure wearing the red and white Monaco home jersey flashed in.

The speed of the football is not fast.

At this time, Manchester United center back Smalling, who was left at the end of the defense line, felt that he had the confidence to clear the ball. He took a step forward, trying to clear the ball before his opponent could finish his attempt.

But at this moment.

Yangguang took a big step forward and blocked Smalling's path with his large body, and Smalling crashed into Yangguang's back.

They both staggered at the same time.

Looks like I'm losing my focus.
But right now.

The sun's right foot swept over.

Almost losing his balance, he swept the ball towards the goal.

When De Gea saw Mbappe's cross, he quickly moved towards the middle.

His reaction was fast enough.

But helpless.

The ball was too close to the goal.

His fingertips only had time to touch the ball.

The football changed direction slightly and went into the goal from the lower right corner.
