Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 282 A Disappointed Draw
Miraculously, Old Ferguson didn't turn into a hair dryer every time he lectured!Today, he looks very calm!
However, the words that came out of Ferguson's mouth made Ronando feel cold.

The Manchester United team changed from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2. In this way, three strikers became two. This seems to reduce the strength of the striker, but in fact the opposite is true. It is an offensive 4-4-2, that is to say, the players in the positions of the two full-backs mainly participate in the offense, but they are actually wingers who bear certain defensive blame!

Darren Fletcher, the culprit who caused Manchester United to concede a goal, lost his place on the field as a matter of course.

But to some surprise, the hero of the goal, Ronando, was also replaced at the same time!
It’s not surprising if you think about it carefully. In the team’s 4-4-2 formation, the most suitable position for Ronando is the hidden forward, but judging from his performance in the first half, except for that goal, most of the time The performances are terrible!
He was first entangled by the Italian defender Alessandro Pistone, and later, under the defense of Phil Neville, he also failed to seize the opportunity.

It was Paul Scholes who was replaced by Ferguson. He acted as the attacking midfielder and moved Alan Smith to the position of right midfielder. In addition, the replacement for Ronando was of course Rooney, one of Manchester United's big names!
Rooney + Ruud van Nistelrooy, Manchester United have presented the striker combination that best meets the wishes of the fans.

Ronaldo's Premier League debut is over!

For a full 45 minutes of playing time, it can be said that Ronando was mediocre for 44 minutes. He only showed extraordinary strength in the 1 minute when he scored a goal. This makes Ronando still a mystery in the eyes of everyone... …Is he a genius, or an embroidered pillow?
After the game started in the second half, Ronando and Darren Fletcher went directly to the substitution area. After completing the formal substitution procedures, they reluctantly sat on the bench and put on the yellow vests that symbolized the substitution players.

"Rooney! The pride of Manchester United! Tank Rooney come on!"

"Traitor! Traitor at Goodison Stadium!"

"Go away! You shameless scum! You will be beaten black and blue!"

With the appearance of Wayne Rooney, Goodison Stadium is like a whirlwind!
Manchester United fans were desperately cheering Rooney's appearance, and what followed was even louder abuse from Everton fans!In an instant, many large slogans were erected in the stands, as well as a portrait of Rooney with a red cross!

This is what Manchester United should look like at Goodison Park.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney was the player who scored the most goals in the team last season, and he was also the player who posed the biggest threat to opponents on the front line. His transfer to Manchester United required the club to pay a huge sum of 2700 million pounds, but the media did not understand the transfer. The evaluation is: value for money!
Rooney was the king of transfer bids from the Premier League last summer. After one season, he was evaluated as "value for money", which in itself shows his value!
Rooney's impact on the front line is the best in the Premier League!

Rooney's running is very active and effective. As long as he is in the frontcourt, any opponent's defense must be careful not to make a slight mistake.

Rooney's skills are very comprehensive. Except for his height, his header is not sharp enough, other aspects of his skills are perfect. He is not a purely technical player, but he is very good at dribbling or passing, and his shooting skills are also superb. It can be said that Ferguson's views are very accurate. Rooney is the best striker in the Premier League in the past 30 years, and his contribution to the team can even be compared with Alan Shearer.

In addition to the unsatisfactory number of goals, Rooney has no flaws.

※※※

Goal efficiency!This is a painful question!
With Wayne Rooney on the front line of the Manchester United team, it is Manchester United in the true sense. Every attack of the team will put huge pressure on the opponent's defense.

There are Van Nistelrooy + Rooney on the front line, Ryan Giggs and Alan Smith on the wings, and Paul Scholes, a passer in the middle.

Manchester United's offensive combination immediately made the home team Everton's defense panic!
Everton's midfield defense was flattened, and striker Tim Cahill went back to his old job: central midfielder. Speaking of Tim Cahill, the Australian player, the most normal position is the central midfielder. As an avant-garde, he will only go directly to the front line when the team's defensive task in the middle is relatively light, and he often plays two roles in the game. A shot from the back.

"Manchester United No. 8 Wayne Rooney! Kicked the goal from outside the penalty area! The ball went over the crossbar!..."

"No. 18 Paul Scholes passed the ball like a precision-guided missile and found Alan Smith on the right! ... Alan Smith made a cross! Everton central defender No. 2 Per Claudrup flew Rescue..."

"Number 10 Ruud Ruud van Nistelrooy received the pass! Hit the goal! The ball was not accurate enough and was saved by goalkeeper Neil Martin!..."

Rooney's appearance has greatly enriched Manchester United's offensive tactics!

Don't look at Rooney as long as he catches the ball and rushes, he is a bit of a "reckless" posture, but with his containment, it is impossible for Everton's defense to closely guard the two wings at the same time, and Paul Scholes Manchester United can always dispatch the ball to the right position.

Manchester United's offensive threat has been raised by a whole level!
On the other hand, Everton's situation on the field is just the opposite. Their offense is stagnant, and they are forced to increase their defense. Dun is like an aggrieved child, being ravaged!

Ronando, who was sitting on the Manchester United bench, was terrified...Rooney, who was fully fired, was really fierce!

In the first half, it was Phil Neville who was in charge of man-marking Ronando at the last moment. He had no way to defend Ronando one-on-one. However, now Phil Neville can never stop Rooney alone. He must keep an eye on Rooney at all times, and he must have teammates around him to help, otherwise, Rooney will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

£2700 million!This figure was a year ago, and Ronaldo's transfer fee this year was only 533 million pounds, which was not worth a fraction of Rooney's worth.

Judging from Rooney's effect as a hidden front, this net worth is notable, and it is a great value!
However, what surprised Ronaldo was that Manchester United attacked fiercely, but never scored. After 10 minutes and 20 minutes, the score was still 1:1. In terms of balls, corner kicks and other statistics, they are already ahead of Everton, but what they lack is a goal!
Bad luck?Maybe a little, but the main problem is not.

This kind of Manchester United's style of play is too monotonous, and all offensive changes are placed in front of the opponent as if they are transparent.

After Rooney received the pass, he just rushed forward. Although his ball-handling skills were good, it did not allow him to kill a bloody path in the encirclement. After Ruud van Nistelrooy passed the ball, Rooney did not have the ability to accurately transfer the ball to the feet of other teammates.

Rooney's biggest shortcoming: the field of vision is not wide enough!
In other words, the cooperation between Rooney and Van Nistelrooy is far from reaching the level of tacit understanding!
This is by no means to say that Rooney deliberately does not want Ruud Van Nistelrooy to perform well, and deliberately does not pass the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy, but that he cannot do it...Rooney's dribbling center of gravity is low, which is related to his body shape, and Rooney's impact Let the defensive players fear, there will always be at least one opponent player in front of him, so Rooney's forward vision is greatly hindered, even if Ruud van Nistelrooy runs out of a good position, Rooney can't find it.

In fact, the accuracy of Rooney's long and short passes is very good. It cannot be compared with Paul Scholes, but it is not much worse than Ryan Giggs.

However, during the dribbling process, Rooney can often pass the ball back to the wing, but he can rarely send a through ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy. This is why Ferguson could only give up one of Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy last season. Reason: "Manchester United Twins" cannot be compatible!
Although football does not pay attention to offensive possession like basketball, a team's offensive possession is also limited. The increase in the number of Rooney dribbling attacks has caused Ruud van Nistelrooy to become a decoration and cannot get passing opportunities.

In the 29th minute of the second half, Phil Neville sent an over-the-top long pass from the backcourt and accurately found the striker James Beatty!

Roy Keane, who arrived quickly, had no choice but to bring down James Beatty...yellow card!
Roy Keane became a scapegoat and applied for a yellow card for himself. This is also Manchester United's first yellow card in the league. If you don't drag James Beatty down, with the opponent's ability, it is very likely to rush into the penalty area and find a chance to hit the goal.

Everton's header ability is still very good, their forward James? Seoul is also known as the "Header King".

Fortunately, Roy Keane's foul was in a good position, not suitable for grabbing points in front of the goal. Mikel Arteta, who took the free kick, chose to hit the goal with a curved kick. Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar Playing steadily, he judged accurately and jumped up steadily to confiscate the ball.

As the game drew to a close, the cunning Everton coach David Moyes began to give up his offense and hold on to the 1 point he got.

Substitutions at key goals, fouls in non-dangerous areas to delay Manchester United's offense, all players returning to the half court to participate in defense... These conventional methods were used by Everton players one by one, and the game became intermittent. Manchester United's ability to break through the dense defense is not very powerful. The three players who connect the midfield and the striker, including Ryan Giggs, Alan Smith, and Paul Scholes, are not very impactful. strong player.

Roy Keane also rushed to the frontcourt, but his addition failed to change the balance of power between the two sides.

The season debut of the "New Manchester United" ended 1-1. When the referee Ball blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Everton fans stood up and applauded the players on the field. The team drew with Manchester United, basically very satisfied.

Ronando felt dizzy!
He was very unwilling, even a little angry! ... Under such an overwhelming offensive, why did Ferguson replace him?If he is on the field, he can completely become an important pawn to break the deadlock!His "three-second God" ability will definitely allow him to explode at critical moments and break through Everton's iron barrel...
