Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Cristiano Ronaldo didn't take a few steps before he faced the frontal defense of Barcelona's black midfielder Yaya Toure. He didn't struggle with Toure. He moved the football to the side and continued to advance.

    The person who responded to his pass was Rooney who retreated. Although he received the ball, his back was facing the direction of the attack. Under Abidal's close defense, it would be difficult to turn around.

    He didn¡¯t even think about turning around. Yaya Toure was led away from the area by Cristiano Ronaldo, and he was waiting for someone.

    Like Cristiano Ronaldo, after passing the football, he also turned and ran forward.  Since this was a counterattack after a corner kick, Barcelona's players had not had time to run back to organize the defense, so Abidal did not chase the ball, but retreated with Rooney, and the space in the midfield was suddenly opened.

    So who is Rooney waiting for and who is the target of the pass?

    ¡°Wow, Esteban Cambiaso!¡± the commentator exclaimed.

    He really didn¡¯t expect that Cambiaso would rush so forward during the counterattack. His current position is no different from that of a midfielder.  After receiving Rooney's pass, he did not pause, but rushed forward with the ball in a straight line.

    "This job used to be done by Scholes At that time, Esteban Cambiasso was behind to protect him, but now" The commentator suddenly understood.  "It turns out that Ferguson wanted Esteban Cambiaso to be the midfield organizer for this game!"

    "This is a bit crazy" the commentator sighed.

    For him, facing the powerful Barcelona, ??it is indeed crazy to use the person who is best at defense as the midfield organizer.

    Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo had almost entered the area responsible for the defenders, Yaya Toure abandoned the Frenchman resolutely.  He turned around and pounced on Cambiasso, who was running wildly with the ball.

    He knows that this man is a defensive midfielder like himself, and organizing offense is not their specialty.  As long as you put some pressure on him, he will be in a hurry

    He just pounced on it, but Cambiaso passed the ball.  With a tip of his toe, he passed the football to Cristiano Ronaldo in front.

    When three people communicate and cooperate like this.  Neither the Barcelona players nor the Manchester United players had time to get into position. Rooney was the player who stayed at the front when Manchester United defended the corner kick, and there were only Yaya Toure and Abidal near the Barcelona penalty area.  , and Gabriel Milito.

    After receiving the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo made a pass and waited for Milito who was blocking him to move out of the way.  But he took the shot without hesitation!

    The football rolled quickly against the turf towards the goal. Fortunately, Valdez had been keeping a close eye on Cristiano Ronaldo and was not surprised when Cristiano Ronaldo shot directly. He fell to the ground and held the ball firmly under his body.

    Seeing that the attack failed and the football was directly confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper, Cambiaso, who had just rushed to the front of the penalty area, did not hesitate at all.  Turn around and sprint back - he still has to prepare to defend.

    When Valdes saw Cambiaso running, he knew that the key figure for Manchester United in this game must be him, not Cristiano Ronaldo or Ribery.

    Since Cambiaso has not yet had time to return to his defensive position, thenhe threw the ball and launched a quick attack.

    Yaya Toure received the ball, and Cristiano Ronaldo next to him just looked defensive and gave up. He didn't want to waste his energy here.  Toure passed the football to Harvey, who had just run back, and his mission was completed.  Cambiaso had just passed the center circle at this time.

    Xavi obviously also knows that Cambiaso is the key.  He will not give the opponent a chance to return to his defensive zone and reorganize his defense.  While Cambiaso was still returning to defense, he passed the football quickly.

    Messi got the ball again, and the few Barcelona fans in the stands of Old Trafford cheered. They wanted to see Messi perform a good show of beating several people again.

    Messi did not satisfy their desires. Such a performance is only possible under extreme conditions. Most of the time, the offense relies on passing, cutting and running to achieve more threats.

    He passed the ball to Iniesta.  There was another reason why he didn't choose to break through on his own - facing Fletcher, he really couldn't muster the interest to break through

    Iniesta¡¯s direct pass was intercepted by Rio Ferdinand. Cambiasso just ran back, and the ball blocked by Ferdinand rolled to his feet.  He turned around and went into the attack again.

    There was no time to rest and breathe, Cambiaso worked tirelessly back and forth between the two ends of the court.Running, midfield organizers like him are rare

    "The transition between offense and defense on both sides is very fast! This game is great to watch!" The commentator became excited when he discovered that Ferguson's team didn't really want to defend their home court.

    Judging from these few minutes of the game.  There were certainly signs of that in this Champions League semi-final.  But commentators should remain cautiously optimistic in anticipation of Ferguson.

    ¡­¡­

    After Manchester United and Barcelona faced off for five minutes, they retreated again.  Barcelona had the advantage in the game, and the ball possession time ratio once reached 67%.  Manchester United once again used their magic weapon to defend and counterattack.

    At this moment, the commentator really wanted to slap himself.  For Barcelona fans, this game may have indeed become better to watch, but for the majority of neutral fans, the one-sided game does not arouse much interest in them anyway.

    Ferguson sat on the coach's bench, touched his chin and said to the two assistant coaches next to him: "Esteban still needs to accumulate more experience as an organizer in the game He performed very well at the beginning.  When the team as a whole shrinks its defense, he doesn¡¯t know what to do.¡±

    Keane grinned silently beside him.

    Queiroz said: "With Paul and Frank here, he really doesn't have more opportunities to be exposed to this kind of work. I don't think there is a rush to train him."

    Ferguson nodded: "This is just the beginning, not the end."

    ¡­¡­

    Just as the three coaches of Manchester United were discussing Cambiaso's future, Rijkaard frowned over there, and the frown became tighter and tighter.

    There is no secret to Ferguson¡¯s tactics. Everyone knows that he can defend and counterattack.  So before he came to Manchester, he gave the team targeted training on how to break through dense defenses.

    What he didn¡¯t expect was Ferguson¡¯s special use of Esteban Cambiasso.  When defending, apart from not guarding Messi, he is not much different from normal games, which means that Manchester United's midfield defense still needs to rely on him.  However, when attacking, he actively and decisively intervened forward time and time again, which gave David Rijkaard a headache.

    When Barcelona was practicing defensive tactics, the imaginary enemies were Scholes and Ribery, and at the last time Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney.  Who would have thought that Esteban Cambiaso would be pushed to the midfield organizer position by Ferguson in this game?

    Cambiasso¡¯s basic skills have been very solid after years of practice. The results of his training are reflected in the game and give opponents a headache.  Because of his good basic skills, you can't easily intercept his ball. His dribbling and passing are very simple, which is the most useful in actual combat - because he will not waste fleeting opportunities by using fancy skills.  , as long as he sees an opportunity, he will pass the football without losing a second.  This is easier said than done - players with excellent skills often want to show off their skills due to inertia.

    ? Originally, Esteban Cambiaso¡¯s level would have been average at other times, and he could be contained by changing his opponent and keeping a close eye on him.  However, the current situation is very suitable for Cambiaso's performance, because Manchester United is a defensive counterattack, and their offense pays attention to one word - fast!

    Those midfielders who are full of agility and have excellent skills, or who have relatively strong performance, may hesitate when taking the ball to counterattack, or perform a set of beautiful skills to win loud applause from the audience outside the court.  What about the opponent?  The defense was already in place quickly, and then a quick attack turned into a siege position battle.

    Esteban Cambiaso will not let the coaches have such worries. When Manchester United counterattacks, after getting the ball, his first choice is always to pass the ball-as long as there is a chance, pass the football out  , passing through the midfield at the fastest speed and hitting the opponent's hinterland directly without any delay.  If there is no way to pass the ball, he will dribble the ball forward himself and at the same time observe the surrounding situation to find the passing point.

    He did not do what some midfielders do. If there is no suitable place to release the ball, he will wait for his teammates to intervene. Although his teammates did intervene, his opponents also returned to defend in place.  Moreover, he may lose the ball because he holds the ball for a long time and is surrounded by opponents.

    His dribbling of the ball disrupts the opponent's defensive plan, and opportunities will naturally come out when the time comes.

    This is why Ferguson used Esteban Cambiaso as the organizer in this game.  With such a defensive counterattack tactic, such an opponent, and such a game situation, there is no more suitable candidate than Esteban Cambiasso.

    ??Faithfully implement the head coach¡¯s tactics and have excellent physical fitness,Calm and composed mentality, stable performance, any head coach's dream character, why did he appear at Manchester United?

    When Rijkaard thought of this, he clenched his fists.  There are many factions in the locker room of his team. Everyone is either busy with internal fighting or has bigger demands. Why doesn't he have an Esteban Cambiaso?  (To be continued)
