Chapter 735 The Birth of a New Superstar [Update 2]
When Manchester United lost the goal, Ferguson immediately felt that something was wrong.
This dazzling free kick cooperation made the Red Devils Godfather applaud. His eyes lit up. He passed the ball four times and used the defensive psychology of Manchester United players to play with the entire defense line... Crazy Lee's talent once again moved Ferguson. The old godfather didn't know how many times he had thought of inviting Crazy Lee to take over the Red Devils Manchester United.
However, after a brief admiration, Ferguson's brain quickly recovered.
He was trying hard to think about how to help his team survive the next Inter Milan's retaliatory offensive. The psychological implication of this ball for Manchester United players was terrible-Crazy Lee was "back" again. If a person's psychology goes from being under heavy pressure to being relaxed and ecstatic, and then back under heavy pressure, he will definitely be unbalanced and in a dilemma. Even if Manchester United's stars have been through hundreds of battles, they are no exception.
Ferguson knew that he had to find a way to solve the psychological problems of the players.
But --
Ferguson hadn't figured out a suitable solution yet, and Inter Milan's offensive was already coming in waves --
After the restart, Manchester United organized a retaliatory offensive.
Unfortunately, Anderson's final through pass was clearly seen by the Argentine midfielder Cambiasso, who moved ahead to block it, and Inter Milan instantly entered a situation of switching from defense to offense.
This is the offensive method that the [Blue and Black Army] is best at.
A lightning-fast counterattack.
This is the most terrifying part of the [Blue and Black Storm]. Gareth Bale got the ball on the wing, and facing Fletcher's defense, Bale took his best way of passing - pushing the ball forward with force, and then accelerating to chase.
This was originally the stupidest breakthrough technique.
Many times, facing dense defense, letting the ball be so far away from your body, even Ronaldinho's master-level dribbling master dare not do so.
Because when the football is beyond the control of your body, even if your dribbling skills are gorgeous and brilliant, you will not be able to use them, because in modern football, you are not facing one person. If the football is slightly too far, it will be immediately intercepted by opponents one after another, which is tantamount to a moth flying into the fire and destroying itself.
Gareth Bale does not have the beautiful dribbling and breakthrough skills of Ronaldinho.
But he dribbled the football far beyond the control of his body.
It seems that at this moment, the Welsh little king is a stupid moth flying into the fire.
Manchester United fans in the stands cheered, they concluded that the ball was gone, because on the field, the pride of Manchester United on the left side - French full-back Evra was approaching the ball and would intercept the ball in a blink of an eye.
In fact, Evra's view is consistent with that of the fans.
He saw the kid on the other side, who was called [Giggs II], trying to catch up, but the ball was rolling towards him. Even Giggs, who was in his prime when he was young, might not be able to catch up, let alone just a ‘second’?
Evra stepped on the rhythm and smiled.
He even had time to look up at the running positions of his teammates. [Little Pea] Hernandez was running back to the international penalty area, and Rooney also opened up a gap... In front of Evra, there were several routes for passing the lore ball.
He didn't understand.
Why did the Inter Milan players still not choose to return to defense after seeing such an obvious mistake by their teammates, but rushed forward with all their strength, as if they wanted to put all their strength into the offense, completely ignoring the defense...
"Are they all driven crazy by the score behind?"
Evra stretched out his foot, ready to steal the ball, and then quickly pass the ball to pass the most deadly lore.
The football was less than one centimeter away from his foot.
But at this moment, something strange happened -
The foot actually... stopped in the air.
After 0.01 seconds, a tsunami-like exclamation, like a huge wave, instantly and fiercely poured into the eardrums of the French full-back. He turned his head in shock, and a blue-black lightning rushed past him.
"Gareth Bale——!!"
"Incredible, he is too fast, stretched out his toes and poked lightly, passing Evra..."
"Manchester United's left side is open..."
"Damn it, stop that Welsh kid!"
[Welsh Little King] is so fast that Evra has not been able to turn around after being fooled, and he has already killed to the edge of Manchester United's penalty area...
No pass.
He chose to cut horizontally.
Ferdinand had to come out to defend. Although Manchester United's vice-captain was worried that if he pulled out like this, other attacking points of Inter Milan in the middle would find an opening, but at this time, if he did not defend, Bale could directly face the goalkeeper and shoot...
The arrow is on the string and has to be shot.
Bale slowed down and pretended to cross from the outside.
Ferdinand took a step sideways and blocked with all his strength.
But——
"Oops, I got fooled..."
The opponent did not choose to pass the ball, but suddenly dribbled again, changed to the bottom, and rushed directly past him. Ferdinand was shocked and wanted to turn around, but it was too late. His fingers did not catch the back of the opponent's clothes. There was only wet wind and sweat flying.
How could a person's speed be so fast?
Ferdinand could not understand.
"Dribble... past... past three people——!!"
"Gareth Bale...passed the ball...Gigi followed up from the middle and shot...missed the ball, incredible...Eto'o at the back post...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL——!!"
"This ball goes in——!!"
"Nicholas Gigi failed to get the ball when he made a midfield pass, but fortunately Eto'o was there at the back post...Two ghosts knocked on the door, Van der Sar was powerless, Inter Milan scored another goal!"
"2:3, less than 5 minutes into the second half."
"Inter Milan scored two goals in just 2 minutes, which is really terrifying. It seems that they can score goals whenever they want...Facing such a [Blue and Black Army], can Manchester United still resist?"
Manchester United, can they still resist?
Facing the overwhelming momentum of the [Blue and Black Army], the dumbfounded Manchester United fans asked questions for a while, Fletcher, Evra and Ferdinand, who had seen Gareth Bale's swiftness, asked questions, and Ferguson, who looked unwilling on the sidelines, also asked questions.
"We can't go on like this. We will definitely lose against Crazy Lee at the Meazza!"
Ferguson made a decision instantly.
The face issue is no longer important. Even if Manchester United was criticized by the media and those nitpicking commentators after the game for being conservative, they can't continue to fight against Crazy Lee. The unexpected three away goals are already a pleasant surprise. It would be bad to covet a victory or more goals!
With a decision in mind, Ferguson immediately made substitutions-
Giggs went off and Carrick came on.
A defensive midfielder replaced the offensive midfielder.
Giggs is young and older, experienced and skilled, but his physical fitness declines quickly. He is no longer suitable for this kind of stalemate that requires a full retreat. Manchester United's midfield is on the decline and its combat power is seriously insufficient. Therefore, Ferguson needs to play every card in his hand carefully. Veterans like Giggs need to accumulate strength for the next game.
Carrick is young and strong, has excellent fighting ability and executes defense. It is the right time to play at this moment.
After playing, Manchester United's midfielder quickly conveyed the new tactical requirements of the boss to his teammates.
Soon, people found that Manchester United began to consciously shrink the formation and basically retreated to their own half. Only Hernandez and Rooney were left in the frontcourt, and Rooney also put more energy into defense. It is often seen that the fat man ran back to the penalty area to make a tackle...
"Clean and decisive, without any procrastination, Ferguson's pre-production changes have reached perfection. He is worthy of being a godfather of a generation and a person who created a dynasty!"
Li Tongfan was also amazed by the opponent's courage.
However, this change was exactly what Inter Milan wanted. Since the opponent was ready to be beaten, why not press on and attack?
Facts soon proved that Manchester United did not pay enough attention to Gareth Bale, who had just been rushing to assist. In the 56th minute of the game, Inter Milan once again raised its scarlet fangs after a counterattack failed.
Coutinho got the ball at the front of his own penalty area, and with a clever half-Marseille turn, he avoided Rooney's pressing, played a wall-to-wall two-on-one with Cambiasso, passed Park Ji-sung, and then made a long-range ground pass, and the ball was sent to Gareth Bale's feet.
This time, the Welsh little king was forced to take the ball with his back.
However, his handling of the ball in the first time won him the opportunity to display his speed. Facing Fletcher's close pressing, he pretended to block the ball to the right, deceiving Fletcher to lose his center of gravity, but suddenly made an illusory shot and turned from the left to the backcourt...
Fletcher was fooled.
The football and Bale flew past him from left to right. He hesitated for a moment before deciding which one to intercept. He lost both sides...
"A beautiful back-to-back pass --!!!"
"...It's hard to imagine that Bale, who was a full-back four months ago, can do such a wonderful move at this moment...Crazy Li's level of training young players is becoming more and more admirable!"
Another unstoppable breakthrough.
There are many fast players in the football world. Many players have won the title of Son of the Wind, but the ability Bale showed today exceeded the imagination of some Manchester United players. Among the old players, Michael Owen, the "Lightning Killer" in his prime, may be comparable. Among the younger generation, perhaps only Arsenal winger "Little Tiger" Walcott can compare. However, compared with Owen's small and delicate and Walcott's spiritual sprint, Bale's whole person seems to be more purposeful when charging, full of unreturning domineering, and rarely moves with the ball. Often, a flick of the ball can simply eat up a defensive player.
This time, the Welsh star used three passes to pass Carrick, Evra and Vidic in succession. The left channel of Manchester United's defense was almost completely destroyed by Bale on his own. The speed was too fast, and there was no time to commit a foul...
Unsurprisingly, he once again hit the Manchester United penalty area. Gigi, Eto'o and Sanchez followed in the middle, forming a four-on-three situation in the frontcourt.
Looking up at the running position of his teammates, Bale frowned.
He suddenly made a pass, which distracted Red Devils goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, who was standing on the goal line and was waiting for him. He suddenly chose to shoot directly. The football was like a cannonball, turning into a straight white line. , with a fierce and unstoppable momentum, it hit the intersection of the crossbar and the pillar in the near corner and shot into the net!
The light of one sword chilled the nineteen states!
At this moment, the entire Meazza stadium fell into a state of silence. Even the fans of Inter Milan were a little stunned... It was actually a dragon. It was actually a dragon. Bell's state was unavoidable today. It's a bit too scary, you know, the opponent is Manchester United, which has the best defense in the Premier League!
This moment of courage allows people to see the true style of [Giggs II]!
And this goal suddenly made many people realize——
A new world-class superstar was born.
A King of Wales who can rival the [ageless legend] Ryan Giggs, at this moment, emerges from the sky. Gareth Bale is no longer the [Star of Hope] that many people thought of before. No need. Then use words like 'unlimited potential' to describe him, because he has successfully transformed potential into ability!
The young man has quietly grown up in Meazza!
After a brief silence, Meazza broke out instantly. The Inter Milan fans in the stands jumped up crazily, waving all kinds of waving things, scarves, hats, flags, slogans... The calm 'blue sea' suddenly It rolled, as if there was a terrifying giant beast rolling under the water...
"3:3, Inter Milan really recovered the score..."
"...Crazy Li didn't make any adjustments. Ferguson changed the players on the team one after another. However, Manchester United, which repeatedly strengthened its defensive strength, was still scored three goals in a row... I have to admit that Inter Milan's offensive power is really... horrible!"
"Manchester United fans are heartbroken!"
"... In less than fifteen minutes, the advantage established in the first half was instantly wiped out. If Inter Milan continues to maintain this scoring rate, by the end of the game, maybe the Red Devils will score three away goals. It has become meaningless!”
On the field.
Inter Milan players celebrated wildly.
The players gathered in a crowd, [goal hero] Bell surrounded Gigi's shoulders. In the middle of the crowd, he suddenly leaned into Gigi's ear and whispered: "Nicholas, your movement just now was wrong." OK, I can't pass the ball to you..."
Jiji looked stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "As long as the team wins..."
"Next time I pass it to you, I think the boss also wants to see you score..." Bell pointed to the sidelines: "If we can both score goals, the boss will be very happy."
These few words of Bell show the young side of his mind.
…
The game continues.
Inter Milan's offensive did not slow down at all.
Although the score was finally equalized, 3:3 is still a disappointing score. From the two-round elimination system, Manchester United is still in the lead. If the two sides tie in the next game, then Manchester United will rely on the away goal advantage. To advance, if the [Nerazzurri] wants to gain a greater probability of advancement, they must strive to score a few more goals at their home court to expand their advantage.
Ferguson's performance surprised many people.
Manchester United continues to make substitutions.
This time, the godfather made his intentions more obvious. O'Shea, the versatile midfielder and backfielder, replaced the forward Xiao Wandou. In a situation where the team chooses to defend, Xiao Wandou, the hero of the opening goal, is obviously no longer able to continue to pose a threat to Inter Milan. A striker of his type relies heavily on midfield support. A midfielder without ammunition is equivalent to a gun. Having lost the shells and no longer a threat, it is normal to replace Hernandez.
After O'Shea came on the scene, he stood in the defensive midfielder position.
In this way, among the Manchester United midfielders, Park Ji-sung, Anderson, Carrick, Fletcher and O'Shea are almost all players with balanced offense and defense and defensive bias. The 4-5-1 formation adopted by Sir Alex Ferguson Fully defensive, he has obviously given up his intention to continue scoring goals.
The determination of the red devil godfather to cut off his wrist is fascinating.
As expected, Inter Milan ran into trouble in the next game——
Although the team's offensive is still fierce, it becomes difficult to score goals. Every time the football advances to the edge of the Red Devils' penalty area, it is difficult to pass the ball into the penalty area. The five midfielders plus the defense The four King Kongs protect the entire goal, like an invisible barrier...
After continuously handing over experience reports, Manchester United finally began to pay attention to Gareth Bale. [The King of Wales] received generous treatment from Park Ji-sung, Fletcher, and Carrick who were always 'escorting' him. He couldn't sprint and had a speed advantage. It's hard to play.
67th minute.
Inter Milan finally counterattacked. Amid the cheers of the Nella team, Bell passed two people and passed the ball low. Gigi, who followed up in the middle, grabbed the first point, but his shot actually missed the ball. The beam flew out...
"It's a bit unbelievable. [The King of European Efficiency] actually wasted such a good opportunity. This is not his style..." The commentator who is familiar with Gigi felt incredible about this scene. Gigi has always been known for his ability to capture opportunities. Former Inter Milan legendary star Luis Figo commented on Gigi, "As long as there is a one-centimeter gap, he can easily catch it in a hundred ways." But this opportunity just now was "tens of meters away", but Gigi wasted it in vain...
Side.
Li Tongfan frowned.
69th minute.
Because Bale suddenly broke out to share the pressure, the relatively quiet [Chilean C-Ronaldo] Sanchez contributed a wonderful breakthrough and made a precise cross. He still looked for Gigi's store, but [Meazza Angel] still wasted the opportunity. He jumped a little slowly and didn't touch the football at all...
"Another chance to kill the ball was lost. Inter Milan's goal efficiency is declining!"
72nd minute.
Inter Milan attacked.
