Chapter 228 Playing a Red Devil!
"Witsel's goal sounded the horn of Monaco's counterattack!
Monaco's momentum at home today is really impressive. Their repeated and rapid attacks made it difficult for Manchester United's defense!
Gareth Bale has shown excellent form, and this time he broke through Ferdinand with the ball and made people want to scream for him!
The score has been rewritten, and now Monaco only needs to score one more goal, then Monaco can equalize the total score and lead Manchester United by relying on the advantage of away goals!
Ferguson couldn't sit still anymore, he came to the sidelines, although he didn't get angry at the Red Devils disciples, his serious expression was obviously reminding the players on the field to cheer up!
Manchester United may still be immersed in the blow of being reversed by Chelsea in the league. Forget the Premier League. If they can't go all out against the brutal Monaco today, they will lose the entire season in three games within half a month! "
The atmosphere at the Louis II Stadium was overwhelming. Witsel's goal ignited the passion of all Monaco fans, while the Red Devils fans looked worried. Perhaps at this moment, they really regarded Monaco as an equal opponent!
When the game restarted, Ferguson asked Manchester United to do a good job in the backcourt defense first. This is a matter of course, just like when Situ Yunbing was a guest at Old Trafford in the first leg, he was also on the premise that the team was not stable. , Even if you lose the ball first, you must first strengthen your defense.
Gary Neville's assists were almost gone, and at the same time he retreated inside to compress the space in the penalty area to avoid being used by Gareth Bale to use his speed to break through Manchester United's back line.
Fletcher and Carrick also honestly stayed at the front of the penalty area to act as a barrier. In this way, Manchester United's offensive investment will be greatly reduced.
Scholes mobilized the midfield organization, Valencia on the right, Nani on the left, whether Evra will participate in the frontcourt attack remains to be seen, and Rooney is at the forefront of the charge.
After a wave of adjustments, Manchester United's performance in response to Monaco's violent shock has improved slightly.
In the 13th minute of the game, when Witsel passed the ball obliquely from the center of the front court to Falcao on the right, the latter was intercepted by Carrick on the way in, and Falcao directly picked the ball to the left rib of the penalty area.
Gareth Bell cut inside and tried to rush to the top, but Ferdinand took the lead in clearing the ball with a header.
Valencia quickly moved forward after controlling the ball from the side of the backcourt. Morrow intercepted from the side of the midfield, but Valencia suddenly stepped on the ball and accelerated from the side to complete the breakthrough!
For a while, Monaco's backcourt defense was empty, and the defense sounded the alarm!
Perez and Matic retreated quickly, they still guarded the middle and gave up outside defense.
In Situ Yunbing's view, Manchester United's wing attack is too traditional, resulting in their insufficient internal lethality.
The current two wingers, Nani and Valencia, will be ridiculed by fans in the future as Nani does not pass, and Wa does not shoot. The former is too independent and should not pass, and the latter is too single.
Therefore, for Manchester United's attack, Monaco adopts the left defense as much as possible to grab as much as possible. If it can succeed in sniping, it will succeed. If it fails, it will let Valencia cross. They also have a high probability of playing in the pass!
On the other side, Modesto received the inside line. Perez and Matic retreated to the back waistline. Perez and Modesto formed a blockade of Nani's inside line, so that he at least had no front of the penalty area. Cut the shot chance.
All that's left is for Benatia and Vertonghen to block Rooney!
Sure enough, Valencia went all the way to the black, quickly dribbled all the way to the bottom line of Monaco's side, and then sent the ball with a cross.
Vertonghen headed the ball in front of the penalty area to make a clearance.
Switching to Manchester United's usual style of play, even if the cross is not threatening, it will form a two-point siege in the frontcourt to launch a second attack.
But today they did not, which led to Monaco being able to launch a counterattack after a successful defense. Compared with the previous game, they were more fluid in terms of offensive and defensive transitions.
In the 17th minute of the game, Matic passed the ball across the midfield and passed the ball diagonally to the left in front of Scholes.
Gareth Bale, harassed by Valencia's pressure, passed the ball to Morrow, who went up and down, and the latter also sent a cross.
Vidic nods the ball behind the penalty area to clear the siege. When Fletcher intends to control the ball in the middle of the backcourt, Witsel jumps first and heads the ball to the penalty area.
Suarez stopped the ball in the chest on the penalty area line, pulled the ball horizontally, turned around and shot!
The football flew to the lower right of the middle of the goal, and Van der Sar threw it across and held the ball in his arms steadily.
Monaco all retreated, and the strikers deployed defenses in the midfield.
Manchester United always tried to spend more time after a successful defense. The game was approaching 20 minutes, and they still hadn't gained a foothold, just like Monaco who was a guest at Old Trafford in the first round.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Rooney retreated to the middle circle to respond. After cooperating with Nani to pass and cut, Rooney quickly advanced into the Monaco penalty area. Nani forced an inward cut from the left outside the penalty area and was destroyed by Modesto. .
Rooney looked at Nani with some helplessness, probably because he felt that if the opponent passed the ball, the effect would be better.
Monaco has always occupied the initiative in the game. After Manchester United shrunk the defense, the threat of cross-cut penetration and attack began to plummet, so Monaco began to strengthen long-range shots!
In the 25th minute of the game, Falcao encountered the pressure of Evra and Carrick when he cut the ball in from the right. He quickly passed the ball to the foot of Suarez in the middle of the penalty area.
Suarez, who responded with his back, kicked the ball back diagonally, and Matic quickly followed up and shot the ball to the left in front of the penalty area!
The football was slightly higher than the crossbar like a cannonball, and the Manchester United fans were terrified!
Ferguson's face became more and more dignified on the sidelines. The passivity of the situation and Manchester United's barely maintained defense made him feel ominous.
Situ Yunbing is also not easy. If he can't attack for a long time, it will not be a good thing for Monaco.
In the 30th minute of the game, after Manchester United successfully defended in the backcourt, Neville passed the ball diagonally to Scholes' feet, and the latter instigated a fast break with a long diagonal pass.
Valencia quickly got rid of Moro in a quick follow-up from the wing. After waving the ball to the bottom, he passed the ball. As a result, the ball flew over the penalty area and landed on the other wing.
After Nani stopped the ball again, he crossed the ball and entered the penalty area. Facing Modesto, he suddenly changed direction and pulled out a free kick to shoot.
Faced with the opponent's sudden volley, De Gea reacted quickly and blocked the ball in the small penalty area. Rooney followed up and was about to make a supplementary shot. Vertonghen took the lead and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.
call!
The Monaco fans also broke into a cold sweat!
Manchester United are naturally masters at playing fast.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Witsela pushed the offensive from the right to the dangerous zone of Manchester United's defense. Under the threat of Falcao's internal cut, Manchester United's defense did not dare to act rashly, let alone Suarez in the middle.
Witsel encountered Carrick's frontal defense when he changed to an inside cut. He hit the ball across the left side. Perez quickly followed up and then overdone. Fletcher's press failed.
When the football rolled to the left in front of the penalty area, Gareth Bale rushed in and hit a volley with the outside of his left foot!
boom!
The football hit the right post of the Manchester United goal directly with a slight inner arc and popped out!
The Monaco fans couldn't help but hug their heads and sigh, but Gareth Bale and the other Monaco players seemed indifferent, without any emotion, and turned directly to the midfield to grab the ball.
Although Scholes controlled the ball, he fell into an embarrassing situation of being isolated and helpless. To be safe, he passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the front court to Nani.
Nani, who ran forward quickly, strode the ball to try to pass the ball under the pressure of Modesto's active defense.
As a result, he passed Modesto, but was unable to control the ball again, and Benatia's side controlled the ball outside the penalty area.
When the opponent does not form an organized counterattack, Monaco will actively run and expand the defensive range to kill the threat in the bud!
In today's game, all members of Monaco ran and had a wide range of active activities, which is also the most obvious feature!
Maybe it feels like the two teams should change their jerseys, Monaco is playing more in the style of Manchester United!
Seeing that 35 minutes into the first half, Manchester United seemed to be on the defensive. Situ Yunbing did not make the team conservative as usual, but gave the team instructions to fire!
Can't let Manchester United gain a foothold!
Never!
In the 37th minute of the game, Suarez received a pass from Falcao in the middle of the penalty area. When Falcao cut in and drove Manchester United's defense to shrink, he crossed the ball to the right of the penalty area and let Carrick intercept it. Failed, and then a shot blasted out!
The football went straight to the lower left corner of the goal, and Van der Sar made a wonderful save with a single palm to block the ball.
This time Neville snatched the ball out of the baseline before Gareth Bale made a follow-up shot.
Two minutes later, Morrow suddenly went to the frontcourt and turned to the inside line. When Gareth Bell drove Neville to block from the bottom of the wing, Bell knocked the ball back. Morrow responded and did not choose to pass. It was a sudden shot!
Morrow, who has always been short of shooting, shot a very wonderful shot!
The football goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Van der Sar almost tried his best to make an extreme block before he barely touched the football!
The ball goes away from the goal after a slight change of direction.
The Monaco crowd had no time to regret, and Morrow quickly ran to take a corner kick.
The corner kick was taken, and Ferdinand headed the ball out of the penalty area.
The ball was controlled by Perez outside the penalty area, and the Manchester United defense would try to stifle Monaco's long-range threat.
Perez calmly hit the ball across the left, Gareth Bale stopped the ball and adjusted a step, then passed the ball directly to the back of the penalty area!
Matic, who rushed up to grab the point before, quickly moved to the back point. Vidic's position is not good, so it is difficult to form interference. Matic headers the ball to the center of the goal. Because he suppressed the angle, Van der Sar There was no way to hold the ball with his hands during the save, so he could only instinctively use his calf to block the ball outward.
But the football that was blocked from the front was full of people in the direction of its flight!
Suarez and Falcao were still rushing forward surrounded by the Manchester United generals, and the Manchester United players also returned to the blockade, but happened to encounter the ball blocked by Van der Sar, and the football bounced back to the goal after hitting someone again Inside!
No one knew who scored the goal in the first place, it was too confusing!
But the ball went in!
When the Monaco generals raised their fists and ran wildly cheering to celebrate, the crowd dispersed. At this time, they saw Carrick bowed his head in guilt in the penalty area of Manchester United!
After the goal, Situ Yunbing gritted his teeth like a beast and let out a low growl. His fists were clenched and his veins bulged. With a ferocious expression, he turned around and raised his arms. The Monaco fans in the stands of the Louis II Stadium erupted in shock Yunxiao's roar!
