Chapter 363 Two old guns in Manchester United's defense
Chapter 362 Two old guns in Manchester United's defense
Klopp looked at the situation on the field. He knew that it would be very difficult for them to win this game, and even if they were not careful, they would be overtaken by Manchester United.

This is the case on the football field. As long as they are playing well, many weak teams can play stronger than usual, let alone Manchester United, which is obviously stimulated at this time.

In the 64th minute, Lin Yi's long pass from midfield found Rooney, whose volley shot was saved by the brave Weidenfeller.

If there is no problem with your shot, it can only be said that his Weidenfeller is in a better state than Rooney.Ji Dong was also a little annoyed, it's a pity that such a beautiful shot didn't get a goal.Just when Ji Dong looked up at the sky depressed, icy raindrops fell and hit his face.

It's raining!
Because of the longitude and latitude of this world, and because of the land and ocean, some people are destined to adapt to the arid desert, and some people are adapted to the cold rain and snow.

As a team in the Premier League, Manchester United players often fight in rain battles. Even in heavy snow days that are more extreme than water battles, they have not played once or twice.However, this is not a special advantage for the Bundesliga team. After all, there is not much rain and snow in Germany.

The sudden rain was quite heavy, and players from both sides would run to the sidelines to replace their spiked sneakers between dead balls.

Rain battles on the football field, long shots and long passes are the magic weapon for winning.Because the field is slippery, the football is not suitable for rolling and passing on the field, and the goalkeeper is more prone to butter hands.

Every player who comes to the bench to change shoes will get a reminder, "Shoot more long shots and pass more high balls."

"The information we got before the game was that there will be no rain tonight, but it seems that the German meteorological department is related to the British meteorological department, and they are equally unreliable.

The turf of the Westfalenstadion is natural turf, so I guess there will be a certain amount of water soon

The rain on the scene was a bit heavy, but it was not to the point where the game could not be played, and there was no thunder in the sky, so the two sides must continue to play. "

"That's right, Gary! Do you think that the rain actually helped Dortmund at home? Manchester United has gradually taken the initiative on the field, and Manchester United is in a very good state, especially Lin Yi. His threatening passes are getting closer and closer to assists, and his shots are also very threatening. If it weren't for Weidenfeller's bravery, I think Manchester United is now leading 4:1.

However, a sudden heavy rain disrupted Manchester United's offensive rhythm. It is difficult for their most threatening through center to be greatly disturbed by the rain.

This is actually giving Dortmund a chance to breathe, so this rain is also part of the home advantage. "

Although what Daly said was funny, if Lin Yi heard what he said, he would definitely not agree. For Lin Yi, the impact of rain is two-way, and when it comes to the experience of facing rain, it is obvious that Manchester United players have more experience.

As for the offensive rhythm, although there is this effect, it is actually not big, because Manchester United are very strong in high-altitude balls and long passes.

"Substitutions, Ferguson made the first substitution in the 68th minute.

Scholes played, and he replaced Carrick. This substitution is easy to understand. Scholes' long-range accuracy and long-range shooting ability are better.

But Carrick must be very depressed now, if he knew he was about to be replaced, he probably wouldn't have chosen to change his shoes two minutes ago..."

Carrick naturally didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction. He changed his shoes when he changed his shoes, not his head!
Two minutes later, Klopp also made a substitution. This time he replaced Blaszczykowski with Kirsch. His reason for the substitution was the same as Ferguson's, to replace him with a player with good long-range shots and long-range passes.

The rain has been falling, and the atmosphere is not harmonious. In the same stadium, the tactics of both sides are changing!
The football is flying, the football is pushed back, the football is flying again, the football is pushed back again.

British football and German football are both masters of air combat, and they are very familiar with this tactic.

It may be that the rain has greatly affected their sight, and the players on both sides are a little inaccurate when shooting long shots. Of course, it may also be because time is running out and both sides are eager to score.

"It's really bad weather. Manchester United's momentum was about to reverse, but now it's raining heavily..."

After Ji Dong sent a long pass, he discovered a new problem that both sides had.

It may be because of the rain that the defenses of both sides pay far less attention to the sideways. They often pass the ball directly on the sideways. Few people will continue to dribble, let alone people.

From Ji Dong's point of view, this is a very good opportunity, because it is not impossible to quickly dribble the ball on a court that already has water, at least Ji Dong thinks it is not difficult for him.

"The game time is getting less and less, and there is more and more water in the stadium, but the opportunities for both sides are getting less and less, and the long-range shots have lost their due power due to more mistakes.

Including stoppage time, there are about 10 minutes left in the game, and now it depends on whether the two sides have changed in this extreme weather. "

Lucio's physical fitness is almost at its limit. Although he has a good physical reserve, given his age, he has already achieved remarkable results.

Ferguson is also aware of Lucio's physical condition, so he has asked Vidic to warm up. The position of central defender is too important and it is a place where no mistakes can be made, so Manchester United will make another substitution when the ball is dead.

Lucio also saw that Vidic was warming up. He knew that his end time was coming soon, but he was a little unwilling.In this game, Ferguson started him because he valued his assisting ability. As a result, for various reasons, although he did a good job in defense, he really didn't help much in offense.

Lucio is a proud man, but it seems that he can only go so far in this game.

……

In the 84th minute of the game, Van Persie made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. The football bounced twice on the turf, and then... then it stopped there.

"Oh, this is really bad, the field ruined a chance for Manchester United..."

Hummels didn't care if the ball was due to the field. When he saw the football stopped there, he went up and made a clearance.

Hummels' foot strength is very strong, and this time the clearance ball flew directly to Manchester United's half.It was Manchester United's offense a moment ago, but now it has turned into Dortmund's quick counterattack by a clearance ball.

"Dangerous, Manchester United have only Ferdinand and the weak Lucio at the back, and Dortmund have Lewandowski and Kirsch in front.

Kirsch unloaded the ball and Lewandowski's run was directed towards Ferdinand. He opened the two defenders for Kirsch. It was a smart move. "

Lewandowski found Ferdinand, and he was not just pulling for his teammates. He left Lucio, who was physically weak, to Kirsch. He hoped that his teammates could break through successfully, so that whether it was shooting or passing, Dortmund would take the absolute initiative.

Kirsch also seemed to understand what Lewandowski was thinking. His goal was very clear, and he went directly to Lucio.

"Manchester United players are returning to defense with all their strength, can they catch up?"

Lucio was indeed tired, his physical strength had almost reached its limit, he could feel his calf trembling slightly, which was a sign of leg cramps.

However, the unyielding aura of iron and blood surged up in Lucio, a strong man with strong bones. He endured the discomfort and stood in front of Kirsch's line.

"Kirsch brought the ball to the front of the penalty area, faced Lucio, body shaking, fake moves, the ball was passed..."

Kirsch was already able to shoot, but he felt that it would be safer to pass Lucio, so he chose to dribble.And it was a human ball, he just wanted to use his speed and physical strength to overwhelm Lucio, he didn't believe that the Brazilian could turn around quickly.

Lucio's physical condition is indeed unable to turn around quickly, but his game experience is enough to kill Kirsch in seconds, and he can still stretch his legs when the latter passes the ball.

"Lucio, beautiful, he may not be able to catch the ball or catch Kirsch, but he just needs to stop the ball before it goes past him!
Nice defense!This is what we often say that veterans never die! "

Lucio's right foot blocked it, but it didn't stop the ball completely, and the ball bounced on the slippery grass and flew towards another confronting player.

"Football has come to Lewandowski's feet, the alarm has not been lifted for Manchester United..."

Kirsch misses the ball but the man does, he is now offside and he is so close to Lucio that he has lost his speed advantage.

The stretching of his feet just now made Lewandowski unsure of Lucio's current situation.Manchester United's defensive players are already rushing back, and the problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very troublesome.So the Poles decided to figure things out on their own, unless Kirsch had a better chance.

One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky!

Since Lewandowski won the goal in the first half with his physical advantage and center forward skills, there is no reason for him not to continue to "bully" Ferdinand in this way.

It was still a familiar movement, and it was still a familiar effect. Ferdinand was pushed back by Lewand's buttocks, and he could only try his best to resist.

"Here again, Manchester United conceded the ball like this in the first half, let's see if Ferdinand, the magician of Manchester United's defense, can do anything..."

What type of striker has Ferdinand never encountered in his career? In terms of body, Lewandowski is strong, but compared to the monster Drogba, Crespo, Trezeguet, Alan Shearer, and Vieira, the 25-year-old Lewandowski obviously needs to continue to grow.

The people mentioned above Ferdinand have had direct confrontation. It is not that Ferdinand has not been broken in defense, but most of the time he is the one who makes them lose his temper.

Defenders don't just rely on their bodies. More often than not, they rely on their football IQ. To put it simply, they rely on their brains.

Lewand's movements took effect continuously, and when his body swayed and turned around, he didn't feel the resistance from behind his body.

Ferdinand has been against Lewandowski, and he was waiting. When he realized that the Pole was about to turn around forcibly, Ferdinand took the initiative to take a step back so that the Pole could easily complete the turn.

Many times, the seniors will teach the younger generation to say, "Take a step back and the sea and the sky will be brighter!" Maybe the younger generation will retort, "This society is a society where individuals cannibalize people. How can we retreat? If we retreat, we may be doomed. Only by continuing to move forward is the right way!"

"Retreat" is a state, a kind of life perception, and a better and more calm arrangement!
Ferdinand stepped back at the most critical moment, so he won space for himself.

Lewandowski completed the turn with the ball, but before he could make a shot, Ferdinand's foot poked it.

"Beautiful defense! Ferdinand poked the football under the Pole's feet. He proved to the world that he can become the absolute core of Manchester United's defense at the age of 35, not because of his personal relationship with Ferguson..."

The football was stabbed away, but because of the water on the field, the ball was not cleared too far.Kirsch and Lucio are the two most likely to grab the ball.

Facing this uninhabited ball, Lucio's natural offensive genes as a Brazilian exploded. His body seemed to forget fatigue at this moment, and his instant activation speed was no less than that of Kirsch next to him.

Kirsch's goal is very clear, go straight to the football, Lucio knows that he is no match for speed, so his goal is also very clear, he goes straight to Kirsch's line.

Lucio succeeded. He successfully got stuck in front of Kirsch. Although the speed was not fast, as long as Kirsch dared to forcefully overtake from his side, Lucio would stick up and fall down.

"Lucio, it's unbelievable that he can still run, and he's leaving Kirsch behind!

pretty!Lucio has the football and he's dribbling! "

The rain was a bit heavy, and the sight in the stadium was very bad. A moment ago, he saw a lot of people running towards this side, all red and yellow.

At this moment, Lucio seems to have returned to the age of 17, as if reincarnated as the never-tired teenager again, and he rushed forward with the ball like this.

Gradually, Lucio saw red figures on his left and right through the corner of his eye. He didn't know who was there, but he knew that since his teammates were behind him to protect him, he could continue to dribble the ball, because each of them deserved Lucio's trust, and they were a group of outstanding guys.

"Lucio, what a great old guy, he's dribbling, God, look at his speed, is he really 35 years old?
Facing Royce, Lucio swayed his body, made a fake move, passed, and was so beautiful!This is the striker's footwork!
Lucio is coming soon, he's about to reach the middle of the field, come on, old guys..."

It wasn't just Lucio who was rushing, another 35-year-old guy, Ferdinand, was also rushing. At this moment, they seemed to have returned to their green years!

Gundogan was a little dazed. He was going forward to attack just now, but in a blink of an eye, Manchester United turned from defense to offense, and it was directed by two veterans with a combined age of 70 years.

Retreat to defend or go forward to steal?You must know that you are already the last line of defense in the midfield. If you are passed, then Dortmund's defense will be directly exposed to Manchester United's feet.

"The court is slippery and full of water. Lucio's dribbling is very difficult, and Kirsch is constantly harassing him, but Lucio's ability to protect the ball is superb. This is not only a wealth of experience, but also an ability honed in countless games in his long career. He represents the fine tradition of Brazilian defenders who can attack and defend well..."

Looking at Lucio who is still steadfast in dribbling the ball, Gundogan is also full of pride.Veterans can be so fearless, so young players have nothing to be afraid of.

grab!
"Gundoğan's defense, let's see if Lucio can pass the ball. If you pass Gundogan, the middle road will be smooth..."

Gundogan's attack was very fierce. He decided that no matter what fake moves Lucio made, he would grab the ball as soon as he approached.

Time is not forgiving, the sudden outbreak just now has caused the lactic acid in Lucio's legs to accumulate to a limit he can bear.Although he didn't want to admit it, Lucio knew that he was at the end of his battle, and he was fighting with enthusiasm.

Facing the young Gundogan who was as bright as the rising sun, Lucio saw that the opponent was about to steal the ball while his body was shaking. This is a smart kid.

"That's it!" Lucio thought this way, he and Gundogan kicked the football at the same time, and the two sides kicked each other firmly.

Gundogan's choice was not wrong, but the emergency stop and the slippery field, and now he had a fierce confrontation with Lucio, he didn't expect the Brazilian veteran to have such great strength.

The bodies of the two stagnated at the same time, and then both fell backwards.

The football stayed where the two had just met, as if they were waiting for the two to get up and continue to compete!
Lucio sat down on the grass full of stagnant water. This time, the pair of feet was like a fuse, and the legs that stopped suddenly felt as heavy as lead.

Lucio's legs are cramping!

The sudden heavy rain did not extinguish the passion of the fans on both sides. At this time, there was thunderous applause in the field. Lucio's perseverance and Gundogan's courage won everyone's respect.

He didn't have time to pay attention to the applause representing glory, and Lucio didn't care about his aching legs. He knew that the lingering Kirsch had already caught up.

Fortunately, Lucio saw Ji Dong on the left, and he was running towards him at high speed, but according to Lucio's observation, it was difficult for Ji Dong to get the ball before Kirsch, because Kirsch was too close!

About to drop the ball?

He has already fought to this point, how can Lucio give up willingly.Seeing that Gundogan was about to get up, Lucio made a move that stunned everyone.

"Oh God, what is Lucio doing? Is he playing golf?"

Thigh cramps are extremely painful, but Lucio endured them forcefully with his iron will.He straightened up, moved his stiff left leg with both hands, and then hit the football like swinging a golf club. In this way, he completed an important pass in the game.
