Chapter 154: Substitute makes great contributions

The first player who rushed up was almost instantly broken by Tiger. When he was about to approach the opponent, Tiger's emergency stop made the opponent stop his movements. Then when Tiger suddenly accelerated to break through, he didn't have time to react.

After getting rid of the first defensive player, Tiger continued to dribble forward. At this time, the players of Lotz seemed to have not discovered the huge danger, and the second player also came forward.

Tiger was very calm. What he was most afraid of was the way the opponent rushed up to defend one by one. His excellent ball control skills and ability to get rid of him gave him an excellent breakthrough rate in one-on-one confrontation. In the English League, almost no opponents would just come up to defend him one by one in the later stage, at least they would be double attacks...

Since breaking through the first player just now, Tiger has set a trap. He just got rid of the defensive player, but he did not completely get rid of the opponent. As he moved forward, he deliberately slowed down a little. When he was about to approach the second defensive player, the first defensive player also rushed from behind.

"Front and back attack! Tiger is in trouble..." the commentator on the scene shouted.

Ferguson frowned and looked at all this. This kid should not be so slow. Although his absolute speed is not fast, his speed is not slow. Why is he so easily attacked by the opponent from front and back...

"Trouble boy!" Keane snorted heavily, then retreated his position backward. It was too late to go up to receive the ball. If Tiger was intercepted, he had to intercept the opponent's counterattack here, otherwise if the opponent scored a goal, it would be troublesome...

Tiger leaned forward, but seemed to have made a mistake and did not control the ball well. His body moved forward, but the ball rolled behind his heel. The defender who rushed up behind him saw the cheapness and immediately stepped forward to grab the ball. At this moment, Tiger stretched his feet and pulled it back, then hooked the ball forward, and hooked the ball back again!

At this time, the defensive player in front also shoveled from the front, and he also saw that Tiger's control over the ball was already very weak at this time. If he stretched his feet in time, he could form a ball intercept!

But just as his foot was about to poke the ball, Tiger's foot fell to the right side of the ball, and then knocked the ball to the left. Then Tiger's left foot pushed the ball forward and drove the ball past the defensive player in front of him!

The defensive player in front of him struggled to turn around and block Tiger's progress, but at this time, the Lotz who had originally stretched his feet behind him had already rushed over and collided with this Lotz player!

Taking advantage of this time, Tiger dribbled past the ball and rushed into Loz's 30-meter defensive range!

"Two people have passed in a row! He is so smart and bold! Tiger first lured a player behind him, and then went through the middle of the two. The two opponents who could not hold back were colliding together! Now no one can stop Tiger's advance for the time being!"

The commentator on the scene shouted excitedly, and the cheers of Manchester United fans also sounded in the stands - they also like to watch this kind of performance. The more they play the opponent's players, the more excited they are...

"It turns out that he did this on purpose... Only in this way can they block each other, and they will not be able to stop Tiger... a very calm guy." Ferguson thought in his heart.

"This kid is really not at all nervous..." Keane, who also saw this behind, also exclaimed in his heart, and then rushed forward - at this time, the back-up will have a good effect, and he is not afraid of the other party's counterattack for the time being.

In fact, there are not six defenders in the middle, but five. Because a forward has been harassed in front of him, Tiger has now shook two of them in one breath, and the two of them collided. They can't return to defense in a short period of time. The originally thick Loz defense line immediately began to become extremely weak!

With the addition of Solskjaer who was in the penalty area and York who pulled out of the penalty area to meet, the ratio of Manchester United's offensive players in this area to the number of defensive players has become three to three!

Loz's defense line immediately became chaotic.

The so-called point-breaking surface - when an originally complete defense line is broken through to two players, huge flaws will be revealed!

What's more, Lords' defense is not as good as the top team. They left Manchester United helpless before, just because they recovered very well. Now the two players are rashly swept by Tiger, and a vacuum immediately appeared at the front of their penalty area.

Tiger is not slow to move forward - in this case, there is no difference between your 100-meter speed thirteen seconds or eleven seconds. It is only a few seconds to break through if you have a distance of just a few dozen meters...

When Tiger dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area, only then did Loz's player run out to defend Tiger. At this moment, Tiger raised his foot and stuffed the ball into the penalty area.

The two-on-two in the penalty area, the personal abilities of Manchester United players can be reflected immediately. York's pull attracted a defensive player, and Solskjaer got the ball in front of the last defensive player. The Norwegian shooter dunked the ball horizontally without any hesitation, just dodged the opponent's foot that stretched out to block, and then shot near the penalty spot!

The Babyface Killer's shot was quite accurate and his speed was not slow. The goalkeeper of Lotz was a hit slower reaction. When he saved it, the ball had already flew into the goal from his hand!

"Teger dribbled the ball forward...passed the ball! The ball fell at Solskjaer's feet, and the Norwegian took a step forward...shot!goal!goal!goal!solskjaer! Beautiful shot! And before that, Tiger's breakthrough and pass laid the foundation for this goal! 2-0! Tiger performed well as soon as he changed into the court! Some people may have wondered why Ferguson spent so much money to buy a player who could no longer be considered a very young player with the stable main force in the midfield. But now, I think everyone should know that in this case, the role played by Tiger is something that other Manchester United players cannot replace!"

The commentator on the scene shouted excitedly, but his words behind him were drowned in the crazy shouts of Manchester United fans on the scene. This opponent was not strong, and this was not a particularly important game. However, the process of scoring made them feel heartbroken and bloody!

Solskjaer laughed and rushed towards Tiger. Tiger's pass happened to pass the ball in the gap between the two defenders. After he received the ball, the penalty area was simply empty. Solskjaer liked the feeling of shooting in this environment!

Tiger opened his arms and hugged Solskjaer together, and then the two separated and waved their fists in the stands together. The cheers in the stands began to become even more enthusiastic.

Scholes also waved his fists on the sidelines. Few people can compare to this ordinary-looking British man's loyalty to Manchester United. In addition to being low-key, he is also a very respectable good man with a very good personality. At this time, he was happy for Manchester United's second goal, but it did not mean that he felt that he should give up the fight for the main position.

Your pass is indeed better than me, but under normal circumstances, I will still be more useful than you on the court!

Ferguson turned his head slightly to look at Scholes, who looked calm, and nodded slightly.

After falling behind by two goals, Lotz began to be forced to attack.

This is also impossible. If they fall behind by one goal, they can still think of trying to get back at home. The gap of one goal is not so difficult to make up. However, now they are two goals behind, and when they return to home, they can no longer think about defending and then sneaking out. They must press on the offense. In that case, it is almost impossible for Manchester United to score away goals, so they can only choose to attack at this time to see if they can recover one point in the chaos, so that they can barely retain hope before the start of the second round.

However, their counterattack was immediately hit by Manchester United. The Manchester United defenders, who had nothing to do after tens of minutes, immediately launched a fierce block before the opponent entered the 30-meter offensive range. In the end, Keane successfully intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack again.

After the frontcourt space had begun to grow, Keane keenly noticed this. He did not continue to concentrate the ball at Tiger's feet according to Ferguson's tactical arrangement, but began to continuously pass the ball to the two wings to launch an attack - the defense of the opponent's wings was weaker at all. If you advance from the wings, the rhythm of the offense would become faster.

In the fast back and forth tug-of-war, few teams can compare with Manchester United.

Tiger felt the feeling that he was a little out of the team after the last time he came on the bench. His running was not unactive, nor was he a player who only rushed forward with the ball. When he was Preston, there was a period of time because the opponent always focused on Tiger, so Preston adopted the offensive method of continuous transmission and advancement. This offensive method was similar to Manchester United's transmission, and Tiger was not unfamiliar with it.

However, the difference is that Preston's continuous pass is centered on Tiger. He is always near the ball, either holding the ball or receiving it. While Manchester United, no player will become the core of the offense. Most of the time, Tiger is just running back and forth. Without the ball nearby, Tiger feels at a loss. More importantly, in this fast rhythm, Tiger's game rhythm is completely interrupted, which will give rise to the feeling of being away from his teammates.

Only when the ball falls under Tiger's feet will he get energetic. Sometimes he will pass the ball quickly, and sometimes he will pass one or two people before passing the ball. At this time, Manchester United's offensive rhythm will be unconsciously slowed down by Tiger...

"This kid's influence ability is really strong." Seeing this scene, Ferguson couldn't help but frown. It was normal for Tiger to be a little out of the team because his personal ability and role change took time. He was mentally prepared, but after he got the ball, he was able to slow down Manchester United's entire offensive rhythm with one person's strength, which surprised Ferguson - some players have this influence. He is not a chess piece on the court, but a commander, not a violinist, but a conductor of the entire band. Such players often have such charm and appeal, which can allow the entire team to revolve around him without consciously and without resistance...

This kind of trait in Tiger, who was only twenty-three years old and had only more than a year of experience in the low league, was indeed surprising.

However, Ferguson did not want to stop this situation from happening. It was just an ordinary game, and he was already leading two goals, so it would be okay to use it to observe.

Although Manchester United's pace is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, Lords is unable to break this pace, and instead feels difficult because of the opponent's continuous changes. Although Manchester United players' performance has also been affected by these two completely different offensive styles, Lords cannot resist it.

In the 37th minute of the second half, Manchester United sealed the victory. Tiger passed the ball in the middle to Beckham. After Beckham received the ball from the corner of the penalty area, he suddenly shot. The shot drew a strange arc. The opponent's goalkeeper originally determined that this was a ball shot in the middle, but the next second the ball circled towards the near corner of the goal...

"Three to zero! Beckham scored his second goal in the official game of the new season! Beckham, who was controversial because of the uncool move in the World Cup, performed better after returning to Manchester United. He seemed to want to prove himself with his performance! Two official games, two goals! It is worth mentioning that Beckham's goal also came from Tiger's assist. After the substitute came on the bench, Tiger sent two beautiful assists. Maybe Ferguson would be worried next, because he had to make a choice between Tiger and Scholes, two equally excellent attacking midfielders... But now it seems that Tiger's condition seems to be better than Scholes who participated in the World Cup..."

Manchester United fans cheered excitedly, leading three to zero at home, indicating that one of their feet has entered the Champions League main game!

When the final whistle sounded, the players of the visiting team Lots left the court in disgrace and reached the last round of the qualifiers. However, in front of Manchester United, they still seemed too weak...

Ferguson also smiled on his face. After losing the Charity Shield, it was obviously very beneficial to win such a victory. Although this victory also brought some trouble to Ferguson and some problems that need to be solved, it is worth being happy at this time.

"On the bench, two assists! Tiger Lee showed his outstanding ability. The previous doubts about him could disappear. Many people think that Tiger, who can only break through, can achieve great success in the Premier League. However, although this game is only facing Polish teams, his breakthrough has done something that no Manchester United players can do. Ferguson is in trouble next, Scholes or Tiger Lee? This is a very difficult question."

After the game, major media in England conducted detailed reports on this game. There were two protagonists, one was Beckham, who scored two consecutive games and was in excellent condition. Because of his kick in the World Cup and his current outstanding condition, Beckham once again received widespread attention. The other was Tiger who came on the bench. However, the media also made some confusion about doing this. After all, their words seemed to despise Manchester United players, and the meaning of over-elevating Tiger was in it...

Tiger noticed this - actually Rose called to remind him - after being blocked by reporters outside the training ground, Tiger calmly replied: "That's not my credit... In fact, before I went on the court, Mr. Ferguson told everyone to focus the ball at my feet and let me break through. Ryan and David also involved a lot of opponents' attention on both wings. Dwight and Ori were supporting him in front, and Roy was behind me to help me make up for the position, which could allow me to break through boldly... No player can defeat a team alone. On the surface, my breakthrough disrupted the opponent's defense, but in fact, this is the reason for the efforts of the whole team."

When asked about the competition with Scholes, Tiger avoided the question: "This is something the head coach needs to consider. I believe Mr. Ferguson's judgment has always been correct, and I insist that Paul and I can coexist because we are two completely different players."

Tiger's decent answer made his impression in the minds of Manchester United players better. After all, no one hoped that his teammates would always cause trouble. However, no matter how Tiger said that he could coexist with Scholes, there was a real problem - how did they coexist? Changing the formation to 451? Those four excellent strikers were too wasteful. Scholes pushed the front line? The competition on the front line was too crowded...

It is obvious that Ferguson still believes that in Manchester United's existing tactics, Scholes' role is still greater than Tiger, although Tiger seems to be much better than Scholes now.

With countless people's attention, Manchester United ushered in the first league game of the new season, facing Leicester City at home on August 22.

It is speculated that Scholes is still the starter until this point, and Tiger is still sitting on the bench.

In this game, Scholes' performance also recovered - it seemed that Tiger's existence made him feel a sense of crisis. He scored Manchester United's first record with a signature shot outside the penalty area in the first half. However, the condition of other Manchester United players did not seem to be very good. The whole team in Leicester City performed extremely well, especially Savage, who was from Manchester United's youth training. He was extremely desperate on the court, and in addition to defense, he also instigated two goals. He seemed to be using his performance to prove to Ferguson that it was a mistake to give up me back then.

Behind one to two, Giggs on the field was injured again. In this case, Ferguson replaced Tiger and replaced Giggs.
