Manchester United has added a forward, and the striker combination is sharper.
Rooney's strength and power, Owen's speed and agility, Berbatov's support and elegance, the three forwards have special characteristics, cooperate with each other tacitly, and complement each other.
On Manchester United's side, the midfield three retreated to their own half, and the defensive combination was watertight.
Makelele's defensive experience, Flamini's physical running, and Beckham's passing counterattack, the three midfielders each have their own strengths, clear division of labor, and perfect coordination.
At the beginning of the second half, the trio of the two teams became the most eye-catching characters on the field.
According to Yunsheng's arrangement, the Monaco players retreated and defended and counterattacked, absolutely not giving Manchester United any chance to kick the ball.
Hildebrand was well prepared and made two consecutive saves that were very exciting.
The most important link in the entire defensive formation is Uyfalusi. As Monaco's current anchor, his strategizing in the penalty area keeps the entire Monaco defense in order.
"Rooney and Owen passed the ball continuously! The ball was handed to Berbatov's feet! Berbatov suddenly turned around and volleyed! The ball deviated from the goal!"
"Kompany stuck close to Berba and didn't give him any chance to start calmly."
On the two wings, Heinze and Sun Jihai also defended desperately.
As a former player of Manchester United, Heinze knows his former teammates very well. Whether it is the experienced Giggs, Scholes, or the young Rooney, he can defend calmly. Especially the new player Raphael was completely caught in the defense of Heinze and Flamini. Ferguson's move did not have the expected effect at all.
In Manchester United's left attack, the Red Devils were also suppressed.
Since being passed by Giggs once in the first half and causing the ball to be conceded, Sun Jihai's right defense has never had any problems.
Giggs' speed has dropped significantly now, which is completely different from before. He mainly relies on experience to win.
Sun Jihai, who has been in the Premier League for many years, is also known as a Manchester City legend. He is not the smartest, nor the best, but he is definitely one of the most diligent players.
Whether it is his diligence on the training ground or his selfless hard work on the competition field, Sun Jihai is a role model for young people in Monaco.
At the moment when Monaco is full of stars, the talented midfielder Wang Chuhe and the top star Dong Fangzhuo are not qualified to enter the starting lineup, but the 32-year-old Sun Jihai still firmly occupies the right back position. This is not Yunsheng's right. His special care was earned by Sun Jihai through his own hard work.
In this game against Giggs, Sun Jihai suffered a technical disadvantage, but he used his energy-saving running to make up for the strength gap between himself and this world-class star.
"Giggs suddenly pulled wide on the left! He shook Sun Jihai away!"
"Sun Jihai did not give up and continued to chase! Giggs made a pass near the baseline!"
"Sun Jihai fell to the ground and made a tackle! The ball hit Sun Jihai's lower abdomen and bounced off the baseline!"
"Berba and Rooney were both in position just now. If Giggs passes the ball, the Monaco defense will be in danger!"
"Sun Jihai saved Monaco!"
Captain Uyfalusi ran to Sun Jihai and pulled the Hua veteran from the ground: "Sun, are you okay?"
Sun Jihai rubbed his stomach and got up: "I'm fine. You go and mark the penalty area. I'll watch him from the corner kick!"
Giggs stood at the corner, preparing to take a penalty, with Scholes taking over from the side.
"Giggs passed the ball to Scholes who was beside him! Scholes passed the ball back to Giggs!"
"Sun Jihai took the first shot! The ball was intercepted by the Chinese defender! A long pass and the ball went straight to the Manchester United half!"
"Saviola responded quickly and passed the ball to Recoba!"
"Recoba's long shot from outside the penalty area! The ball hit the crossbar and Monaco missed the opportunity!"
"This attack against Monaco just now almost resulted in a goal. What a pity!"
"Half of the credit for threatening the ball this time goes to Sun Jihai. He made a wonderful tackle in the backcourt and then switched offense and defense in an instant!"
"Before this game, many people said that Sun Jihai was Monaco's weakest link, but now, I think the Chinese defender deserves to be in this Champions League semi-final!"
Giggs and Scholes, who were retreating to support the ball, had lingering fears. It was their coordination error just now that almost caused the ball to be conceded. The two glanced at Sun Jihai and chatted in low voices.
"This guy seems to be better than when he was at Manchester City."
"Yes, physical fitness, speed and defense have not declined."
"Looking at how hard he was trying to grab the ball just now, it felt very similar to Gary."
"If he were younger, he would still be qualified even if he came to play for Manchester United..."
The game passed by minute by second, and the time had reached 77 minutes.
Ferguson played his third card. He replaced Scholes, whose physical fitness was severely reduced, and replaced him with the young Anderson to continue to strengthen the offense.
On Monaco's side, Yunsheng also made adjustments. He replaced Gudjohnsen and Recoba and replaced them with Aubameyang and Dong Fangzhuo.
Although Monaco is now at a disadvantage, Yunsheng replaced two forwards in the final stage. It seems that he still hopes to score more goals.
Ferguson was thinking on the sidelines. He looked sideways at Yunsheng and saw that Yunsheng was giving instructions to Dong Fangzhuo and Aubameyang.
It's good that you press forward. When it comes to scoring goals, I'm looking forward to it more than you.
In the live broadcast room, Alphonse watched the substitution adjustments of both sides and said with emotion: "There are about ten minutes left in the game. It seems that neither Monaco nor Manchester United are willing to accept this score. The next time will depend on which player of both sides is better." It’s a little more efficient.”
After a few minutes of adapting, Anderson entered the game at a significantly faster pace.
As the winner of the European Golden Boy Award in 2008, there is no doubt about Anderson's strength.
This Brazilian genius is the successor of Paul Scholes appointed by Ferguson. Compared with the English midfield master, although he has many gaps in organizational ability and passing ability, in terms of ball control, dribbling and speed, Better than Scholes.
After coming on the field, Anderson dribbled the ball forward twice in a row, posing two considerable threats to Manchester United.
In a sudden shot in the penalty area, Anderson suddenly moved forward, catching Monaco's defense off guard, and his shot went straight into the blind corner.
If it weren't for Hildebrand's smart save, Monaco would have been in danger.
A few minutes later, he hit another good-quality long-range shot from outside the penalty area. The ball missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline, causing a false alarm in the Monaco defense.
But in the following period, Anderson's performance was not so satisfactory to the Manchester United general...
