As the most outstanding young players in the Premier League this season, the performance of Ronaldinho and Rooney determines the upper limit of Manchester United this season.
It was their performance and Tevez's performance that allowed Manchester United, which had a bad start, to realize their shame and courage in the league and Champions League. Topping the league table and reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Manchester United's forwards are indispensable.
However, today the two Manchester United forwards met young people from Leeds United who also performed well this season.
Ronaldinho on the right is already an old rival with Baynes. Ronaldinho joined Manchester United in 2003 and became the main force of the team after one season; Baines joined Leeds United in 2004. In the season he joined, he gradually replaced Hart as Leeds United's starting left back many times.
Although Baynes sometimes served as a substitute due to Lee George's changes in formation and tactics, as long as Lee George played four or five backs, Baynes would definitely be Lee George's first choice.
Therefore, Ronaldinho and Baines have played against each other more than ten times in the past few seasons, and they have played against each other at least three times in a season in the league, FA Cup, and League Cup.
The two of them knew each other well and tried their best every time they fought.
In the 13th minute of the game, Ronaldinho wanted to use his speed to get rid of Baynes. He first slid his left and right feet continuously on the football, stepped on two bicycles in place, and then he started to cross Baynes' left.
But this kind of routine that he is invincible in front of other Premier League teams has no effect in front of Baynes. Baines is already very familiar with this action, and he can even tell that Ronaldinho is only pedaling two bicycles, not three.
Seeing Ronaldinho trying to pass by him, Baines immediately followed him. Turn around, take a big step with your right foot to block a little of the opponent's path, move your body sideways to get close to him, and stretch out your right hand to pull the opponent's jersey. Bynes moves smoothly without any ambiguity.
It wasn't until Ronaldinho's clothes were pulled that he realized that today's opponent couldn't be dealt with by conventional methods. He quickly stopped and tried to deceive Baines.
But Bynes didn't fall for it, it was all the same old tricks.
He also made a quick stop, and this time he took the initiative to distance himself from Xiao Luo. Although Bynes is not too fast, he can guarantee that he will not be thrown away within three steps, so he can take the initiative to get out of the way to avoid being passed.
There were two more bicycles on the spot, and Baynes even stretched his legs to steal the ball after Ronaldinho stepped on one.
In desperation, Ronaldinho could only pass the ball back.
"Nothing new, just these few times." Baynes complained.
"you......"
Baines didn't bother much with Ronaldinho, and hurried forward to intervene. Not long after Ronaldinho passed the ball to Scholes in midfield, Parker snatched the ball back.
In the 19th minute of the game, Ronaldinho made a comeback.
This time he did not choose to go it alone, but chose to cooperate with his teammates.
Ronaldinho received a pass from Park Ji-sung, and after a one-two with Rooney, he immediately turned around and advanced forward.
This time he used his speed to get rid of Baynes, came to the baseline and made a low pass.
However, because Rooney ran the ball relatively far forward, Ronaldinho's pass could only be close to the goal. Schmeichel, who was about to attack, predicted the ball in advance and hugged the ball.
It's just that Ronaldinho, who passed the ball, looked at Baynes from the wing with a sailing attitude.
But Baynes still chose to ignore the person who uploaded the red jersey.
Ferguson saw this scene off the court, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. He was worried that the young Ronaldinho would take advantage of it and focus on eating Baynes alone, forgetting his pre-game arrangements.
Young players need encouragement, this is the consensus of all head coaches. Because once young players perform well, they will get carried away and then do something outrageous during the game, causing the game to deviate from the head coach's script.
If Manchester United's two main players need a whip from Ferguson, then Lee George's whip at Leeds United may have been broken dozens of times.
However, these young Leeds United players are not flamboyant in character, and under the guidance of their equally young head coach, they are developing on the right path.
After Schmeichel got the ball, he quickly got up.
He kept changing angles, looking for teammates while also avoiding Rooney's interference with his serve.
"It's still far from enough." Schmeichel complained in his heart, not taking Rooney seriously at all. Compared with the interference of the machine during training, Rooney could choose to ignore Rooney hanging around.
"Here!"
Blake shouted from a distance, but when he shouted, he found that Schmeichel had already thrown the ball towards him.
"then!"
The sound comes and the ball comes.
Blake just pushed the ball forward with his right foot and found that it landed in front of him.
However, he did not choose to dribble the ball, but immediately passed the ball to Robben who was waiting in the midfield. "Peter Pan" watched the ball roll past him and immediately accelerated and ran forward.
Manchester United's defense was immediately organized. Evra on the left immediately approached Robben, while Vidic took the initiative to defend against Robben.
Robben moved the instep of his left foot, seemingly wanting to start cutting in midfield.
Evra immediately moved to the center. When Vidic saw Evra approaching him to cover up the defense, he began to move to the right, preparing to block Robben's cutting route in advance.
But they did not expect that Robben's inward cut was just an illusion, and his real intention was to pass the ball.
After Evra left the center, Robben immediately separated and passed the ball to Blake who followed up.
This time, it was really smooth ahead of Blake, and no one was in front of him.
Just when everyone thought Blake would take a big step to reach the ball, Blake just took the ball and took two steps before passing the ball.
A half-high ball with his right foot, the height of the ball only reached the waist, and the ball flew past Evra.
Because Vidic took the initiative to defend against Robben, all Vidic, Evra and O'Shea were in a triangle position, with Vidic being more forward.
When the ball flew to the center point of the triangle, a white lightning appeared at this location.
Arneson came decisively in front of O'Shea and received Blake's pass.
This time, there was really no one in front of Arnesen.
With Vidic behind him, O'Shea and Evra on both sides, no one can stop Arnesen from doing it alone.
The Norwegian's best passing method was once again used, but this time no one passed him. The ball was passed by Arnesen to the penalty area, and he followed closely behind.
speed!
This is Arnesen's foundation at Leeds and he has made good use of it this time.
After passing the ball to the penalty area, he made a fake shot in front of Foster who was attacking. Then when Foster was about to save, he immediately took a step to the right.
1 to 0.
By the time Arnesen waded past Forster, the home fans at Elland Road were already celebrating.
But after the goal, Leeds United fans were even more excited, because Arneson looked behind him after passing Foster. After confirming that no one was catching up, he directly put the ball into the goal again.
These young men from Leeds United have proved to Manchester United with practical actions that not only Manchester United has outstanding young players in the entire Premier League, but our Leeds United players are no worse than Manchester United.
In a few days, Leeds United, with more than half of the first-year players starting, will stage a "Home Alone" in front of Ferguson.
