Chapter 1056

When the ball reached pique's feet, Barcelona continued to control the ball, attracting Manchester United players to come and grab it.

Manchester United started the match with initiative and momentum. Facing Barcelona who had the ball, Manchester United continued to press hard.

After the flurry at the beginning, Barcelona gradually adapted to the pace of Manchester United's closing down. The back court's passing and cutting became smooth, and the speed of passing through the midfield became faster and faster.

In the sixth minute, Barcelona broke through Manchester United's front court and sent the ball to the front court. Harvey crossed the ball from the right side, Pedro suddenly started to throw Ferdinand 7 meters away and missed.

The first 10 minutes, Iniesta pass to Harvey, Harvey left rib cross, villa 25 meters away from Vidic's frontal defense, shot slightly off the right column.

Two minutes later, villa received Messi's pass again, and the edge of the restricted area was saved by van der Sar.

Barcelona's three consecutive shots, are fast through the midfield, and then Manchester United's front court players have no time to return to defense, Barcelona in the case of a considerable number of opportunities.

Ferguson doesn't feel good. If Manchester United continue to press on, it is likely that Barcelona will take the lead to break the goal.

In the strong strong dialogue, the advantage of the advanced ball side is huge. In the opening 12 minutes, Manchester United's chance through pressing is not as good as that of basado, and it is not worthwhile to continue to take risks to attack.

Ferguson called Barca's midfield guard back decisively, and immediately let him give up the attack.

Ferguson's tactical adjustment is very crucial. Manchester United concentrate on the midfield and destroy Barcelona's pass and cut cooperation. With smaller space and more people, Barcelona's pass success rate drops rapidly, Messi's and Iniesta's passing becomes difficult, and Harvey's passing is difficult.

Rooney retreated and Manchester United fought hard in the midfield, reducing the threat of Barcelona to their own back line and keeping themselves away from Barcelona's goal.

There is a big gap between Manchester United's passing and cutting ability and Barcelona's, especially when Scholes, Giggs and Nani are not there. It is very difficult for them to send the ball to their opponents' front court like Barcelona. Therefore, Manchester United can only take the way of long-distance passing to play behind Barcelona and use speed to attack Barcelona's defense.

In the absence of Scholes and Carrick, only Ferdinand and Gao Xiaodong can provide accurate long passes.

Ferdinand is the centre back, the attack distance is too far, his long pass can only be occasional, Manchester United launched a long pass attack can only rely on Gao Xiaodong.

What Barcelona players fear most is Gao Xiaodong's ability to score goals. They don't attach great importance to Gao Xiaodong's ability of long-distance passing in the back court, and they don't think Gao Xiaodong has the same long-distance passing technique as Scholes.

In the 15th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong got the ball in the back court. He looked at the front and found Rooney along the right side with a 40 meter low flat ball.

Rooney got rid of full back Alves and made a cross to the penalty area.

When Rooney was in front, Hernandez was also in front. He was fast, turned fast and pique was far behind.

Fortunately, Barca is a high and fast central defender. Mascherano keeps up with Hernandez at this critical moment. He even drags to slow Hernandez's forward speed. The ball flies past Hernandez's toe and flies out of another sideline.

Although United did not form a goal this time, the attack of Gao Xiaodong, Rooney and Hernandez posed a huge threat to Barcelona's gate.

However, Manchester United's long pass attack did not arouse Barca's high vigilance. Barca's back line was honest for only five minutes, and then continued to press forward, burning the fire near the central circle.

Gao Xiaodong likes this way of attack and defense very much. Before the game, he thought that Manchester United could not attack Barcelona. Even if Ferguson designed the high-level closing down tactics, Gao Xiaodong was also not optimistic, because he had played with Barcelona in the past two years. Knowing the horror of Barcelona's passing control, almost no team in the world can succeed in the high-level closing down. If he wants to win Barcelona, he has to rely on defensive counterattack.

The reason why Ferguson designed such tactics before the match is that Manchester United eliminated Barcelona three years ago with an ugly defensive counterattack. This time, he wants to change his playing style. Of course, Ferguson still doesn't think that the strength of Barcelona is better than that of Manchester United. He thinks that Manchester United can break hands with Barcelona, although gambling companies and many media are optimistic that Barcelona will win the championship.

However, facts have proved that the overall strength of Barcelona is better than that of Manchester United. Although in the first five minutes of the game, Barcelona was forced to be in a hurry by Manchester United, but after Barcelona adapted, Manchester United's high-level Press won't play a big role.

Ferguson doesn't want to change his tactical design. He is just forced. If Manchester United continue to press in high position, they are likely to be defeated by Barcelona.

The reason why Ferguson is able to achieve such a great success is that he is not stubborn and can keep pace with the times. When he sees that his tactics are not right, he immediately makes changes.

In the 22nd minute of the game, busks caught the ball, passed Rooney's close, and made a straight pass to find Harvey.

When Harvey received the ball, Gao Xiaodong came quickly to steal, Harvey Lianla turned a circle, and then wanted to pass the ball diagonally to Messi.Harvey's turn method is almost 100%, because when he passes the ball, most of the opponents don't turn around and can't interfere with Harvey's pass.

However, this time Harvey is facing Gao Xiaodong, who is full of black technology. Gao Xiaodong did not turn around completely, but his super power glasses let him see Harvey's action.

In the moment of Harvey passing the ball, Gao Xiaodong stretched out a leg behind him and just blocked Harvey's straight pass.

Harvey didn't expect the ball to be stopped. He rushed to get the ball again, but Gao Xiaodong ran over and hit Harvey with his shoulder, which made him stagger.

Harvey lost his center of gravity and the ball was easily won by Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong saw the situation of the front court before he got the ball. When he got the ball, he saw that Hernandez and Rooney had started to run alertly, especially Hernandez, which started when Gao Xiaodong hit Harvey.

Hernandez expressed his trust in Gao Xiaodong with his actions, and Gao Xiaodong didn't live up to his trust. Gao Xiaodong waved his leg hard and pulled out a long pass. The ball was fast, flying over the midfield and the guard and falling between the guard and the goalkeeper.

Hernandez dodged pique and Mascherano, unloaded the ball with the instep on the line of the big penalty area, pushed it against the arch of Valdes' foot, and the ball rolled into the net from Valdes' armpit.

However, when Hernandez raised his hand to celebrate, he found that the linesman had raised the flag.

The ball is offside!

Hernandez was very angry. He rushed to protest to the referee, kaoshaoyi. He thought he was not offside. He watched the guard run.

On the sidelines, Ferguson was angry and roared at the stadium. He also thought that Hernandez was not offside, which was a misjudgment.

But the referee, Kao Shaoyi, believed in his partner. He waved to Ferguson, let him return to the training bench, and let Barca goalkeeper Valdez serve to continue the game.

Although the Manchester United players are not satisfied, they have no choice but to go back to the game.

after all, they can't watch the video and are not sure whether the ball is offside or not.
