374 Coming to Manchester United?(1/2)
374 Are you coming to Manchester United?
The weather in the UK is really terrible!
The sky always seems to be covered with a layer of gray fog, which makes people unable to see the sunshine, and always gives people the feeling that it will rain anytime and anywhere, which is very depressing, just like the atmosphere before the competition.
Inter Milan left Milan on the morning of the 22nd and arrived in Manchester in the afternoon.
This time, Yang Cheng finally saw the fanaticism of British journalists. It is said that the newspaper even arranged a large group of reporters to follow Inter Milan. They would go wherever the team went, as if they wanted to dig out every move of Inter Milan, but they were very professional and did not interfere with Inter Milan's training and preparation.
However, under the close attention of so many reporters, Yang Cheng did not feel that he had the necessity to practice tactical routines.
Therefore, in addition to asking the players to do some regular training to maintain their condition and adjust their physical fitness, he stayed in the hotel at other times, and he himself was.
"The British newspapers are much more professional than Italian newspapers!" Paul Bayer said in his mouth, holding the open newspaper in both hands.
Yang Cheng watched the guys playing chess, turned around, "What do you say?"
"The Guardian took 5 moves to Manchester United's Ferguson. My God, as they said, our trip to Manchester is very dangerous!" Paul Baier said with a smile.
"First, take the lead, lose 0:2 away. Manchester United must do their best to score at home. Manchester United must take the lead and attack, show a good competitive state from the beginning of the game, and incorporate the game into its own rhythm."
Hearing this, Benitez, who was standing beside him, shook his head concisely, "Nonsense, it's the same as if he didn't say it!"
Everyone laughed immediately.
"The second article is to freeze the midfield combination of Pirlo + Deco. If you want to defeat Inter Milan, you must limit the interlude and connection between these two players, because they can always create opportunities anytime and anywhere in the game, and they must be restricted. Otherwise, once the dual-core engine of this team is run, no one can resist it!"
"Are nonsense!" Tim Hank shook his head and laughed.
Paul Bayer laughed, "Will I give you a comment after I finish speaking? Respect me!"
"Okay, okay, you said!" Everyone laughed.
"The third one is that Nedved can't run. A running Nedved is the crushing tank in the midfield and frontcourt, which is a huge threat; the fourth one is that you always focus on your attention, especially the back line; the fifth one is that you can defend against the double striker combination of Ronaldo and Fanny."
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"It turns out that such fake and empty remarks are also popular in British newspapers!" Yang Cheng laughed.
These suggestions seem to be fine, but in fact, there are problems everywhere.
To put it simply, how to defend against Ronaldo and Fanny?
Manchester United's defense lacks effective ways to defend a speed striker. Yang Cheng discovered this in the first leg that Inter Milan's trident interspersed and runs in the middle and front courts caused great trouble for Manchester United's defense, especially the central defenders.
Keane is excellent, but that doesn't mean he can fill in the loopholes in the defense line. Even if he gives him two more legs, he can't fill in such a large space on the court.
In this way, how to freeze Ronaldo and Fanny?
Everyone will say it, but the question is how to do it!
"After losing in the first leg, Manchester United's game was very passive. Ferguson will definitely push forward and play from the beginning, and strive to establish a goal as soon as possible. The battle of Meacha made Manchester United realize their problems. They will no longer let us continue to control the game. They will attack after the game. But from this point of view, it will be difficult for them to win!"
Yang Cheng smiled and guessed Ferguson's thoughts.
Defensive counterattack should be considered a compulsory course for Serie A teams. Yang Cheng also specially prepared targeted tactics for this game. When he came to the away game, he was not just to ensure qualifying, nor just to ensure a 2:0 total score, he hoped to win.
Many people may think that Yang Cheng is crazy, but in fact, he is not crazy and is very sober!

When the whistle sounded at the beginning of the game, Manchester United began their active front-pressure tactics.
In order to win this game, Ferguson almost frantically wanted to put Inter Milan in his half from the first minute of the game, so he pushed the midfield as much as possible to the Inter Milan half.
Gary Neville actively stepped forward and looked more like a wing forward. Recently, he has been sending ambiguous text messages with Real Madrid. Beckham, who has been hooking up in the transfer market, was pressed on the bench by Ferguson, and replaced by Solskjaer, but the Danes are more like a forward.
Manchester United's tactics look like 4411, but in fact it looks like 352, because Gary Neville and Solskjaer are actively moving forward, directly interfering with Inter Milan's left and suppressing this first-round game to their sidelines that have brought them a catastrophe.
Before the game, Yang Cheng made a targeted arrangement to replace Sanetti with the starter, keeping the three lines compact, organizing an effective defensive system in the half, and even giving up control of the game, with the purpose of making Manchester United push forward.
Yang Cheng's tactics are bold, but he has bold bargaining chips because he has the world's top defense line.
So when Manchester United started and fought hard against Inter Milan in a round of relentless pursuit, Yang Cheng was not moved at all. Even though Manchester United created many opportunities, Yang Cheng always saw a little bit that they did not have a real threatening shot.
He was waiting with confidence, and at the same time he was calling on his players to wait patiently.
Wait for a chance!
In the 17th minute, Manchester United broke into Inter Milan's penalty area. Emerson, Deco and Lucio doubled the match between Giggs and Scholes. After successfully intercepting the ball at the front of the penalty area, they immediately handed the ball to nearby Pirlo.
The Italian passed the ball accurately and came to Nedved's feet.
Keane is behind the Czech, but Nedved did not choose to do it himself, but passed the ball.
He used his left foot to pass a shot that was not inferior to his right foot, and a very high-quality pass, which was behind Ferdinand, who was pulled out of the defense line by Vanny.
Ronaldo reached behind Ferdinand with an oblique view, and rushed forward before all Manchester United defenders.
In the penalty area, facing goalkeeper Badz who was attacking, Ronaldo easily shot low in the near corner. Badz was about to block the far corner and could only watch the aliens celebrate his goal.
Interestingly, the whole process was passed on with one foot, without any pauses, and it was very beautiful and fast.
After being scored, Manchester United's offensive suddenly leaked, especially when he was afraid of Inter Milan's defensive counterattack. When Ferguson began to remind the defense line not to press too much, Yang Cheng followed the trend and asked the players to advance slowly, eroding the area originally controlled by Manchester United, and slowly reintroducing the game into his own control.
The total score has become 3:0. Everyone knows that Manchester United is in danger because in this case, they must score at least 4 goals in Inter Milan to defeat their opponents, but is this possible?
After leading, Yang Cheng began to ask his players to have more patience, control and skills, just to prevent the pace of the game from getting faster and Manchester United from having the chance to pull the rhythm up, because he just wants to use this tactic to slowly grind away Manchester United's sharpness and their spirits.
There is no doubt that Yang Cheng’s tactics are very correct.
As the first half was about to end, Manchester United obviously became impatient, while Inter Milan was waiting steadily for Manchester United to make a mistake, and then gave a fatal blow based on Manchester United's loopholes.
From the 36th minute to the end of the first half, Inter Milan scored a climax in one go, scoring a total of 5 shots, especially behind Ferdinand and Vis Brown. Inter Milan frequently made a pass and made a direct pass, using Ronaldo and Fanny's counter-offside to create opportunities.
There were dangers in Manchester United's goal again and again, which alerted Ferguson very well. It would be better to be more obedient and stop making bad ideas.
In the second half, Ferguson did make some adjustments, fearing Inter Milan's strong offensive and seeking stability at the beginning, but as time passed, Ferguson finally couldn't help but push out and play.
In the 53rd minute, Inter Milan's goal pass was short and Zambrota dribbled the ball from the left. He and Nedved cooperated with one and one on the left. The Czechs got the ball in the left corner of the penalty area and passed the penalty area directly.
Ronaldo *** Brown behind him, but did not take a kick after getting the ball, but chose to pass the ball to the right. Fanny arrived and pushed the ball to score, 2:0!
This goal completely declared Manchester United death sentence!
With a total score of 4:0, Manchester United must score 5 goals to eliminate Inter Milan, which is simply an impossible task.
However, this goal also completely ignited Manchester United's anger. The Red Devils fans, Keane's very aggressive tackle, tackled Nedved to the ground, and detonated Manchester United's counterattack.
The next Red Devils launched a counterattack against Inter Milan in an almost crazy posture at Old Trafford, especially when Ferguson replaced Weiss Brown with Beckham, Manchester United completely sounded the clarion call to defend their dignity.
Yang Cheng sat firmly on Diaoyutai. After gaining an absolute lead, he began to avoid his edge, replaced Fanny and Deco with Van Bomer and Perotta, and even more resolutely launched a defensive counterattack tactic.
But even so, Manchester United still directly broke through the goal guarded by Buffon in the 79th minute with a free kick from Beckham. This was a blind spot in the absolute sense that Buffon could not stop it.
Afterwards, Manchester United attacked wildly, but Inter Milan did everything in defense, and time passed by bit by bit.

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the entire Old Trafford Stadium booed.
This is an undisputed defeat, which can be said to be not surprising at all. Because the first leg defeat created Manchester United's passiveness in the second leg. They had a million reasons to be dissatisfied with the result of this game, but there was no way, because they did lose.
After Yang Cheng and his assistants celebrated, they walked towards Ferguson.
The old Scottish man was staring at him with a malicious look on his face, his eyes were so furious.
"Congratulations, sir, I have relieved some of the burden for you!" Yang Cheng said as if he was helping him.
Ferguson snorted coldly, and simply refused to give this guy a good look, and turned around and left, "Don't expect to walk out of Old Trafford tonight!" This was his intimidation before leaving.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, this old guy can't afford to lose!
He himself didn't imagine that he was the same last season?
When Yang Cheng turned around, Peron had just met Fanny, Lucio and others, and walked towards Yang Cheng with a smile.
"Congratulations, boss!" Bellon said with a smile.
"Thank you, Juan!" Yang Cheng responded politely.
Both of them were very polite. Bellon still respected Yang Cheng so much, but for some reason, they no longer had the intimacy they were in Kaiserslautern.
Perhaps it was from when Perron wanted to leave Yang Cheng and switch to Manchester United that they were destined to not return to the past, because it was difficult to reunite a broken mirror.
The two of them stood face to face, not knowing what to say, and they were a little embarrassed.
In the end, Peron took the initiative to speak, "I hope to see you at Old Trafford Stadium again!"
The meaning is very obvious. I wish Yang Cheng a blessing to lead Inter Milan to the finals.
"It will definitely be!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Bellon and Yang Cheng hugged each other, turned around and left.
In the player channel, he met Deco, who was his substitute in the past, but now he has achieved a very high position in football and has not lost to him at all. This makes Perron feel a little regretful.
If it was him who followed Yang Cheng to Inter Milan back then, then he should be the one who celebrated his victory and recorded in the history of Serie A, not the Deco in front of him!
But this is the case in this world, there will never be any medicine for regret!
