Chapter 677 Against the Legend (1)
The game went straight to the climax from the first minute. Although Liverpool, who played at home, had a stable formation of 44, their offensive was very fierce.
Formation is not everything. A team determined to attack, even if they line up 10 defenders, they can attack like a tide. A team determined to defend, even if they are all forwards, it will not affect their iron barrel formation.
Manchester United originally wanted to use the pass to stabilize the situation, but as soon as the ball was passed back to its back line, Liverpool's forward penetrated to the front of the penalty area, forcing Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar had to kick the ball into Liverpool's half.
Larson and Rooney also tried to compete for the ball, but under the double-team of Liverpool's midfielder players who were like wolves and tigers, neither of them encountered the ball, and the ball was pushed to Chen Yu by Carragher.
Chen Yu's position today is the right forward, against Manchester United's left forward Giggs.
The red derby is full of stars, and any player on the court has had a brilliant experience, but today's game attracts the most attention of fans are P-year-old Chen Yu and 33-year-old Giggs.
The battle at Anfield is Giggs' 700th game for Manchester United, only 59 games away from Bobby Charlton's record of Manchester United's appearances. There is no doubt that this is a milestone. All Manchester United fans want to see how Giggs can perform against Manchester United's number one rival Liverpool on such a major day.
The battle at Anfield is Chen Yu's 16th league game for Liverpool. Before that, Chen Yu had scored 15 consecutive goals, increasing the record of consecutive goals in the Premier League held by Fanny from 10 to 15 games. If Chen Yu continues to score in this game, he will tie the record of 16 consecutive league goals set by Polish player Theodore Petvik in 19378. If Chen Yu scored twice, he will also tie the record of 16 goals scored by Theodore Petvik in 16 rounds.
Such a contest between two players who have been legendary since their debut is undoubtedly a blessing for fans. When Chen Yu got the ball, Liverpool fans began to applaud and shout Chen Yu's name. Some fans were shouting: "I've passed him and Giggs."
Liverpool fans are passionate and wish that Chen Yu could pass Giggs immediately and then run dozens of meters to break through Manchester United's goal. However, Chen Yu would never be careless, let alone bully Giggs old and old. Giggs is a real talented player. He has played for Manchester United for 16 years and played 700 high-level games. Even if he no longer has the same speed as the wind, his experience is enough to compete with the world's top stars today.
Chen Badminton received the ball on the side of Manchester United in the middle circle. Giggs did not push too far, leaving a certain distance, facing Chen Yu sideways, ready to take Chen Badminton to break through.
At this time, Manchester United's center player Carrick assisted in defense on the wing, forward Rooney quickly returned to defense, and left-back Evra, at least four Manchester United players were ready to encircle Chen Yu. If Chen Yu could not drive the ball out of the encirclement at the fastest speed, it would be difficult for him to pass the ball out of the encirclement behind him.
Today, Manchester United did not send people to specifically guard Chen Yu, but it does not mean that Chen Yu can play freely. Ferguson set up a big net for Chen Yu. As long as Chen Yu gets the ball, players near Chen Yu will move closer to Chen Yu and encircle Chen Yu.
Chen Yu had never encountered such a defensive method before, nor did he notice the movements of Manchester United players. After he got the ball, he quickly approached Giggs. Looking at the reaction of the Welsh veteran, he wanted to make the next move based on Giggs' reaction. However, Giggs had a very experienced approach and retreated sideways and still maintained his original defensive posture, but the distance was narrowed by Chen Yu.
Chen Yu must make the next choice. If this is lukewarm, once Giggs and Evra meet together, Chen Yu will basically have no chance of breaking through again.
Although Chen Yu respected and valued veteran loyal ministers like Giggs, he also did some research on Giggs before the game, but he was not afraid of him. After exploring it, he saw that Giggs' speed was not as fast as the legendary one. Chen Yu tilted his upper body to the inside line, made a false move of incision, quickly started, and broke through to the bottom line.
Chen Yu's fake move did not pass over Giggs. Giggs is the king of wingers in the past decade and has a lot of experience in cutting and breaking through. However, he knew that Chen Yu was fake move but it did not mean that he could stop Chen Yu's breakthrough. Chen Yu was in his year of playing, and his starting speed and acceleration were better than Giggs, and his body was stronger than Giggs. After Chen Yu accelerated three steps, Giggs knew that he had no hope of stopping Chen Yu without fouling. However, because the team formulated a tactic to defend Chen Yu before the game, Giggs did not rashly adopt a foul tactic, but turned around and chased, waiting to double-team Chen Yu with his teammate Evra.
Giggs thought Chen Yu would slow down when facing Evra, but he did not expect Chen Yu to break through very decisively. He did not slow down when Evra came up. He directly scored the ball and ate Evra with speed.
This is a person with no tricks. He relies on speed to eat, but the only way to be able to win in the world is to be fast and not defeated. Chen Yu uses speed to eat. Evra and Giggs have no way to stop Chen Yu's breakthrough except for fouls.
However, in order to prevent the double-team of Giggs and Evra from meeting, Chen Yu did not slow down, which made him almost have no time to pass the ball after breaking through Evra, and the ball almost went out of the bottom line.
Chen Yu was also very quick-witted. When the ball did not completely fly out of the baseline, he forced the ball to pass it to the penalty area with his right foot.
Seeing Chen Yuqiang eating Giggs and Evra, warm applause broke out in the stands, and the sound of calling Chen Yu's name sounded again.
Chen Badminton passed the ball too hard and it was impossible to pass it in; Crouch did not expect that he did not get a good position at the first time, and when he wanted to rush to the top, he was already stuck in the position by Ferdinand, so he could only watch Vidic header to clear the ball.
In the first minute of the game, Chen Yu had the upper hand in the first match with Giggs. The commentator Hansen on the scene couldn't help but exclaim: "Chen is indeed a good person. Although his skills are not stronger than Giggs, his body has surpassed Giggs. Even Evra cannot compare with Chen. Under Chen Yu's high-speed breakthrough, the two of them had no way to stop Chen Yu from breaking through on the wing except for fouls.
