Home team locker room.
"Beckham and Veron are a huge problem!"
"We have to find a way to deal with them."
Triguera is discussing targeted tactics with Deng Kai.
Maxa is communicating with the players emotionally.
Today, the performance of the two Manchester United players with the word "Bei" in their names can be called "super double"!
"Manchester United knows our ability to chase points. They can't continue to attack in the second half." Deng Kai analyzed, "Ferguson will ask Veron and Scholes to invest more in defense."
"The positions of Beckham and Giggs will also be relatively withdrawn."
"In this way, Veron's passing completely lost the space to play."
"So we only have one real problem, and that's Beckham."
"Beckham is invincible in passing, but his dribbling skills are simple and he lacks the ability to excel in one-on-one situations. It is difficult for him to exert his power when there are brownies sticking to him."
When Deng Kai said this, Triguera understood: "Evra, you go out to warm up, and you go straight into the second half."
"Guardiola, you have to rest for a while."
Guardiola nodded, expressing understanding and support.
He accepted being substituted.
Because from the perspective of limiting Beckham, Evra is much more suitable than him.
Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The match between Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon continues.
Everyone has noticed Sporting Lisbon's substitution adjustments.
"Evra was imported from a low-level French team by Sporting Lisbon this season. This player does not have much talent. So far, he has been more of a snake oil substitute at Sporting Lisbon."
"Let him replace defensive midfielder Guardiola, probably hoping to use his running ability and speed to restrict Beckham."
"But judging from Manchester United's position, Beckham will not be too forward in the second half. Sporting Lisbon's adjustments to Beckham are likely to fail."
Forty-nine minutes.
Everyone still underestimates Evra's role.
It is true that Evra's defense is not strong, but his crazy running has brought considerable trouble to Manchester United.
Especially when Veron cannot directly connect with the frontcourt players.
Manchester United is not allowed to launch long passes directly from the backcourt to the center in the frontcourt when they have the initiative.
They focus on wing offense and are more accustomed to advancing football and creating threats through Giggs and Beckham.
Manchester United's offensive routine in the first half basically involved Veron looking for Giggs and Beckham on the left and right sides of the frontcourt.
The latter two will create opportunities for the forward.
But when Giggs and Beckham are both in the backcourt, Veron has to wait for them to move if he wants to pass the ball to them.
[In view of the general environment,
This time does not seem long, one, two or three seconds.
But just these two or three seconds made it much more difficult for Veron to hold the ball.
drop!
The referee blew his whistle, pointed at Veron, and showed a yellow card.
While Veron was waiting for Beckham to move, Evra completed a frontcourt steal.
Losing the ball in this position is very dangerous, Veron immediately fouled Evra.
Fifty-eight minutes.
Matthäus, Evra, and Deng Kai surrounded Veron.
Veron's pass to Scholes was intercepted by Evra.
Evra passed the ball to Deng Kai.
Deng Kai quickly passed the ball and sent the football to the frontcourt.
Drogba entered the penalty area, but the football was cleared by Butters who was one step ahead and punched out of the penalty area.
Sporting Lisbon made several threats in a row.
Let Manchester United
The players became nervous.
Sixty minutes.
Deng Kai passed the ball back to Maicon and pointed forward, indicating that Maicon would find a way to advance forward.
After Maicon passed the ball to Matthäus who returned the ball, he started to advance forward.
Matthaus crossed to Deng Kai.
Deng Kai passed the ball past Veron and passed it to Ronaldinho on the right.
Ronaldinho's fake move to the right failed to shake Phil, but the next moment he knocked the football horizontally to the left.
Maicon, who played as a central defender, flew directly to the right rib position.
boom!
Phil turned around and made a tackle, knocking Maicon down and completing a one-two defense at the cost of a yellow card.
Sporting Lisbon received a free kick from a distance.
But Maicon fell to the ground, clutching his ankle.
"Maicon's penetration is beautiful!"
"Foul! Phil Neville received a yellow card."
"Oh! Maicon seems to be injured. This is bad news. He has just found a way to help the team. His insertion is very threatening."
"We can see Wu Xudong warming up."
"Sporting Lisbon is about to make a substitution. Domestic fans should be a little excited at this time. Although I'm sorry to say this, Maicon, Wu Xudong is about to become the first domestic player to play in the Champions League semi-finals."
"This is a historic moment!"
"Okay! Sporting Lisbon makes substitutions. Wu Xudong replaces the injured Maicon. Wait, Yin Bu is going to play too. Is it so early?"
"It's not Drogba! It's not Drogba who was replaced by Yinbu. Matthaus is off the field. Is Sporting Lisbon... changing to 442?"
He Wei frowned: "It seems that Sporting Lisbon has surrendered. Yinbu and Drogba are double centers, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Deng Kai, and Ronaldinho are parallel midfielders. Evra, Fonte, and Vidic , Wu Xudong’s four defenders.”
"This is a safe choice. They don't want to let Manchester United score anymore. I think their decision is correct. Since there is no chance of winning, then don't lose too ugly."
"Otherwise, it would be bad if the players' flaws are exposed one by one and their value is greatly reduced."
As soon as He Wei finished speaking, Sporting Lisbon made a direct free kick attempt from Deng Kai.
But the distance was indeed too far, and the football failed to hold it down and flew into the stands.
Sporting Lisbon's next retreat was indeed a 442.
He Wei Chunfeng looked at Huang Jianxiang proudly.
It means to see if I am awesome!
Huang Jianxiang shook his head.
Innocent.
You know nothing about Sporting Lisbon!
Defense?
This team never plays defense when trailing.
On the court, the pace of both sides was relatively slow.
Sporting Lisbon used a large circle tactic to hold the ball for a long time, but neither left nor right side could find an opportunity and returned at the first touch.
Seventy-seven minutes.
Ronaldinho passed back to Deng Kai, Deng Kai passed to Evra, Evra passed to Fonte, and Fonte passed to Deng Kai.
boom!
Deng Kai suddenly fired!
Bigfoot was given to the right frontcourt.
But the strange thing is that Ronaldinho kept circling in the midfield after passing the ball back. To whom is this ball... given?
Ronaldinho five seconds later?
"Wu Xudong! Wu Xudong and Ronaldinho cross each other! He started to speed up!"
"So fast, Sporting Lisbon's substitute right back Wu Xudong is too fast!"
"Ronaldo completely interfered with Giggs and Scholes, and he created space for Wu Xudong to receive the ball."
