Chapter 289
In fact, a football game is not only a contest between players on the field, but also a fierce competition between coaches off the field.

Soccer players are sweating on the field, but managers are also trying to figure out a way to beat their opponents off the field.

This is called tactics.

The characteristics of Ferguson's tactics are just four words:

See tricks and tricks!

This is the magic weapon for Ferguson to win for so many years. He can always find a way to beat his opponent.

For so many years, the only trick he can't dismantle is probably the pass-and-control style of play. In the Champions League semi-finals that year, Ferguson really didn't know how to deal with Barcelona.

This is also a problem that Ferguson needs to solve in the Champions League this season. If it cannot be solved, this year's Champions League may be defeated again.

As for Scolari's defensive tactics, Ferguson can easily deal with it.

After David Shevchenko passed the ball to Hargreaves, Ferguson got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines.

"David Shevchenko"

David heard Ferguson calling him, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Ferguson, who made a gesture to him.

David Shevchenko knew Ferguson's intentions. The meaning of this gesture is:

"Hold on, delay!"

When facing the opponent's full defense, Ferguson needs Manchester United to play steadily and not to rush for success. Then, the two central defenders will delay their positions to prevent the opponent from playing a defensive counterattack.

In a football game, one side is defending and the other side is attacking. Therefore, to deal with different defensive methods, the offensive methods are also different.

United have been passing the ball in midfield and Scholes has been passing the ball back to the centre-backs because he couldn't find a better way to pass the ball in midfield.

Manchester United tried to break Chelsea's defense from the wing, but whenever Nani and Ryan Giggs had the ball, Chelsea adopted a zone defense.

Therefore, it is not easy to break through with personal ability.

In the middle, Anderson and the lazy Berbatov had no chance to turn around with the ball except to catch the ball to support them. Chelsea's defenders in the middle were tougher in defense and basically adopted marking tactics. Offensive players maintain physical contact at all times.

After about 5 minutes, the Manchester United team couldn't find a breakthrough point for offense, so they could only pass the ball back to the central defender again and again to start organizing the offense again.

In the 41st minute of the game, Carrick in the middle couldn't bear the loneliness and passed a through ball to Anderson.

However, the ball failed to pass and was headed towards Lampard's feet by Chelsea's Carvalho.

Chelsea launched a defensive counterattack.

Lampard handed the ball to Ballack in the middle. Ballack took the ball to attract the defense and then passed the ball to striker Anelka.

Anelka dribbled the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area and kicked it back.

Lampard inserted from the middle, Anelka made the ball to Lampard laterally, and the latter rushed up and volleyed.

The power of the ball is great, and the angle is tricky enough, but it is a little bit higher.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar flew out, he missed the ball, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

David Shevchenko and Ballack fought for the ejected ball, while Van der Sar got up quickly to make a second save.

Ballack grabbed the header and ferried the ball to the wing. Ashley Cole rushed to rush and unloaded the ball.

Hargreaves hurried up the defense, and Ashley Cole began to swing the ball horizontally with his left foot.

Want to play sudden acceleration again?Chelsea's first goal was scored by Ashley Cole's cross after he ate Hargreaves from the wing.

Therefore, Hargreaves' defensive position naturally leans towards the sidewalk unconsciously, in fact, he wants to get stuck in the position where the sidewalk breaks through.

However, Anderson chose to break into Hargreaves' weak side and cut inside to the middle.

As soon as he cut inside, Ashley Cole chose to cross, and Lampard behind his back against Ferdinand's defensive header hit the far corner of the goal.

When Ashley Cole passed the ball, goalkeeper Van der Sar approached the near corner of the goal in time, but Lampard's header hit the far corner, and Van der Sar almost lost his defensive position in the far corner.

When the ball flew to the far corner, Van der Sar ran to the other side of the goal.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the goal, Van der Sar could only fly to save it.

Sometimes, the farthest distance in the world is not hundreds or thousands of kilometers, but just between a finger.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar felt he was on the verge of touching the ball, but he just couldn't.

The ball flew into the gate guarded by him.

The ball is in.

Chelsea scored another goal.

3:2
Stamford Bridge was instantly ignited by the goal, with deafening cheers from the fans.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar sat in front of the goal, his eyes were a little blurred. Before the half-time game was over, he was scored three goals by Chelsea.

Scolari rushed from his seat to the sidelines and made a punching movement, which is what Chelsea should look like.

He instantly felt that he had a good face, and his face was like gold. This time, he can calmly face the Chelsea fans.

Ferguson didn't expect that Manchester United's defense could not stand the test. In the half game, the opponent scored three goals. It can be said that Ferguson has never encountered such a situation in the past few years.

Ferguson suddenly began to miss Ronaldo, Park Yisheng and Rooney. If the three of them were there, maybe it would not be what it is now.

In fact, it is already very good that Manchester United, which lacks three generals, can play like this with Chelsea. It is not bad if it is not 3:0.

After a short celebration, the game continued.

Chelsea still opened up their defensive stance, and Ferguson felt that he should change his tactics.

Suddenly, four words appeared in his mind:

A long pass hits the ball.

Ferguson believes that Manchester United should bring up the rhythm of the game. The current tempo on the field is very slow. Ferguson wants to break the tactic that makes Chelsea unable to play this defensive position by speeding up the game.

Every head coach does not want to encounter this kind of defensive tactic, because it is difficult to launch the offense, and at the same time, if you make a mistake accidentally, you will be hit by a defensive counterattack.

The long pass and sling tactic can drive the rhythm of the game, so Manchester United implemented the tactic of head coach Ferguson and began to play long pass and sling.

Since they want to bring up the rhythm of the game, Manchester United must first get up.

As a result, the players of the Manchester United team began to actively support the movement, the speed of passing the ball also accelerated, and the whole team moved.

Manchester United's offensive rhythm has accelerated, and Chelsea's defensive rhythm has also increased.
