Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 244 Defensive colander
Manchester United's standing formation, in addition to the current 4-4-2, there is also a more offensive 4-3-3. In general, under Ferguson's training, Manchester United is a team with a balanced offense and defense. Can achieve multi-point blooming, almost all midfielders have a shot, and the offense is very active. At the same time, the height, hardness, and defense of the defense line are also very good, obviously lame.

However, it can be seen from the comprehensive losses of last season that this Manchester United team is still far from "perfect".

Manchester United scored 58 goals last season, behind Arsenal's 87 goals and Chelsea's 72 goals, ranking third among the 20 teams in the Premier League, and conceded 26 goals in the season, which is only higher than Chelsea's 15 goals , 36 goals less than Arsenal's 10 goals.

From these data, it can be seen that compared to last season's champion Chelsea, Manchester United lags behind in terms of offense and defense. Compared with Arsenal, they have more defense and less offense.

After the end of last season, countless English football critics summarized the reasons why Manchester United fell out of the championship and runner-up for the third time in the league. Apart from the sudden emergence of Chelsea, they can be roughly divided into four aspects.

First: Although there are many points blooming on the front line, the scoring rate of the goal is low, and there is a lack of high-efficiency shooters who can make the final decision. The only player who can play this important role is Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was also partially abandoned because of conflicts with the team's overall tactics. , which caused Manchester United's lack of scoring ability.

Second: The left side is sharp, the center is firm, only the right side lacks leading figures, Darren Fletcher is relatively immature, Jose Kleberson Pereira is stronger in defense than offense.

Third: One of the strongest points of the original team, midfielder Roy Keane, is getting older and it is difficult to ensure a long-term stable state, which reduces the team's defensive ability in the middle.

Fourth: The goalkeeper has a huge loophole. Manchester United's relatively high conceded goals have little to do with the back line.

Now, with the Manchester United team in the new season, the second and third questions remain. The first question remains to be seen because of the combination of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rooney. Can they solve the old problem of incompatibility last season? , is the key to solving Manchester United's offensive rate. The fourth problem, I believe it will get better with the veteran goalkeeper Van der Sar.

Therefore, experienced reporters have been able to make a preliminary judgment on this Manchester United team——

Ruud van Nistelrooy + Rooney can have a chemical reaction, and Manchester United is expected to compete with Chelsea and Arsenal for the top spot, but if they really want to regain the title, it will be difficult!At the same time, but if the problem of Van Nistelrooy + Rooney remains, it is very possible that they will be overtaken by Liverpool, Everton and other teams behind them, and further fall out of the top three!

"Manchester United's signings are too small! At the very least, they need to introduce a strong substitute midfielder, plus a top right-wing attacker to make up for these two shortcomings. Only by playing at a high level can we have the absolute strength to compete for the league championship!"

One sentence sums up Ferguson's thoughts: Roy Keane is still very strong, but he can't last a season. He needs a substitute, lacks a right-wing attacker, and lacks an efficient scorer.

However, if these three positions are to be matched, how easy is it?Regardless of the position, if it is less than 1000 million pounds, there is basically no need to talk about it!

It seems that Manchester United has inevitably embarked on the road of decline. The old Ferguson can't live without rice. He had a thousand choices, but only spent 533 million pounds to find a so-called magical boy from Portugal. However, this magical boy All it brought him was a bunch of trouble...

※※※

Compared with the defense of the substitute team, the offensive power of the main team is obviously beyond a grade.

On the training field, Alan Smith rushed forward to the substitute central midfielder Paul Scholes and gave the ball to the left. Ryan Giggs inserted at high speed. Ryan Giggs rushed past after receiving the ball!

So fast!This combination of ball speed is already a notch faster than Simao's!

Ronando is a little helpless. In fact, his defensive ability is scum... The one-on-one match with Darren Fletcher the day before made everyone think that his defensive ability is very strong, but this is just a deception, rotten Defensive positioning, as well as poor stealing, marking, and tackling abilities, made him at a loss for Ryan Giggs, a first-class wing attacker with erratic movements.

Realizing that he made a mistake, Ronando desperately chased back, but Ryan Giggs had already passed the ball with one kick.

Wayne Rooney received the ball, and Rooney, known as the "little tank", charged into the penalty area of ​​the substitute team like a gust of wind after receiving the ball!

The substitute defensive midfielder Jose Kleberson Pereira and central defender Phil Bazley double-teamed back and forth, but Rooney used his strong body to firmly protect the ball, and quickly dribbled left and right with his feet, allowing the two Defensive players are on the run!

So powerful!No wonder Ferguson was willing to give up Ruud van Nistelrooy, the former Premier League striker king, for this guy under 20 years old. With Rooney's impact alone, he is qualified to become an alternative powerful striker!

Not far away, Ronando, after a contest with Ryan Giggs and witnessing Rooney's prowess with his own eyes, couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

The impact of Manchester United's first-class stars is too strong, and the attack rhythm is too fast. They are completely different types of football from Benfica!

No wonder it is difficult for Portuguese players to adapt to the Premier League. Such a whirlwind, not to mention ordinary Portuguese Super League players, even the top Portuguese attacker Simão, he may have difficulty keeping up with the team's game rhythm!Will become a weak point that drags down the team!

Of course, this is not to say that the stars of Manchester United must be much better than the stars of the Portuguese Super League, but because the styles of the two footballs are completely different. In the competition, it is inevitable to fall into a disadvantage.

On the court, although Rooney was brave, he was entangled by Jose Pereira and Phil Bazley, and he could no longer drill into the penalty area, so he could only choose to kick back.

Alan Hughes, who is slender, suddenly cuts in from behind, receives a pass from Rooney, enters the penalty area, and faces Wes Brown, who is up for grabs, and chooses to shoot. The ball misses the spot and goes slightly wide goal post...

"The offensive power of Manchester United's main lineup has been maintained very well after a summer!"

"Giggs, Rooney, Alan Smith, they are skilled in coordination, and the joint attack from the left and the center shows the characteristics of Manchester United!"

"Unfortunately, Van Nistelrooy is still out of Manchester United's offensive system?... I hope the old Ferguson can solve it as soon as possible in the following training. This is really a big problem."

"No. 22 can't stop Giggs at all! The Portuguese right with a balanced offense and defense? Shit!"

There is no need to listen to the comments of reporters and fans outside the stadium, and to observe the face of coach Ferguson. Ronando also knows that he did not perform well, but who can blame this situation?As long as the team continues to place him in the position of right midfielder, don't expect him to become a right winger!
Ronando is a wide player with a balanced offense and defense?Sorry!That's just a sham!

He can only become a defensive gate when he uses "Three Seconds God". At other times, he is equivalent to a colander, not to mention Ryan Giggs who is skilled and fast. If Darren Fletcher, who was one level weaker, came to attack Ronando, it would be difficult for him to defend.

In other words, with the help of "Three Seconds God", Ronando defended Darren Fletcher one-on-one, which greatly added points in Ferguson's eyes, and successfully squeezed out the other two competitors on the right. The latter grabbed the seat of the substitute right midfielder, but this obviously has advantages and disadvantages.

To put it figuratively, Ronando, who is standing at the right midfielder, actually has a big word "death" hanging above his head!

The right position for Ronaldo is of course the right winger. He can only occasionally use the "three-second god" for steals. The 10-minute limit makes it impossible for him to often use precious opportunities for defense, otherwise he can only become a For a mediocre player, the so-called good steel should be used on the edge of the knife. Only by ensuring the efficiency of his goals and the last pass to the maximum can Ronaldo stand out and become an important member of Manchester United.

Therefore, the current Ronando is not capable of being an avant-garde at all, he can only be a winger or a forward.

"What's going on? You need to improve your concentration during training!... Today is very important to you!" Ryan Giggs frowned and reminded Ronando in a low voice.

"This...um! Thank you, Brother Ryan."

Ronando naturally understands that Ryan Giggs' reminder is purely well-intentioned, but he can't explain it. The blue vest on Ronando's body now has a "trial period" and it is not safe. Once he performs poorly, it is estimated that Will still be thrown out of the bench lineup, waiting for the next opportunity in the foreseeable future.

However, Ronando understands better that he must win by surprise now. What if he uses his skills to defend Giggs and wait for the next defense?
He couldn't care less about observing Ferguson's face on the sidelines!

who cares!Today's training match is not "very important" to him, but "a matter of life and death"!He must be a blockbuster and show enough ability to break through the barriers alone to tempt Ferguson to transfer him to the front line. Even if he is a hard-core backup winger, it is better than being a backup right winger...wait for death!
However, when it was the turn of the substitutes to attack, the ball did not reach full-back Adam Exley, but was passed to Paul Scholes. Although Ronando ran forward quickly, Paul Instead of passing the ball to him, Scholes played it to Kieran Richardson on the left who, after some interference from Darren Fletcher, made a hasty pass and the ball was caught John O'Shea, a big center back who suddenly goes forward to defend.

"Wow!~~"

There was a burst of applause from the stands. The defense of the main team was beautiful this time, which made the offense of the substitute team invisible. This can be described as monolithic.

Ronando is returning to the defense quickly... However, no matter how fast he runs, he can't run faster than the ball!
"boom!"

Roy Keane, the midfielder of the main team, made a precise pass and passed over the head of Ronando who was retreating. It was still Ryan Giggs who received the ball on the left side of the main team... …Ronando made two turnovers within a few minutes. The first time he failed to defend his opponent, and the second time he simply lost his position...
