Chapter 160 My Competition Method

When the players of both sides walked out of the player's passage, 50,000 Manchester United fans and 3,000 Barcelona fans who came from afar instantly gave off huge cheers.

Tiger stood in a mid-size position, with Andy Cole in front, Bart behind him, and goalkeeper Schmeichel in front of him wearing the captain's armband in this game, Beckham behind him, and Giggs was at the end of the team - from the order of appearances, it can be seen that a player's position in the team, and players who are both in front and back are often more important.

Barcelona's starting lineup today is goalkeeper Dutch Hesp, defenders Rezig, Sergi, Bogard and veteran Nadal, midfielder Guardiola and Cocu are in the center, Rivaldo and Luis Enrique are separated from the two wings, and the forward line is paired by two Brazilians Giovanni and Sony Anderson. After Van Gaal took office, there are a lot of Dutchers in Barcelona. Rezig, Bogard, Cocu and Cruivet, who are on the bench, were introduced after he took office. Now Barcelona is still chasing Ajax's Debor brothers, which also lays a hidden danger for Van Gaal's dismissal in the future. Reusing the Dutch and not paying attention to Catalonian local players has also caused Barcelona to have an internal division one or two years later, which eventually led to Van Gaal's dismissal. Of course, this is already a later story.

This lineup is on the surface of 442, but in fact Rivaldo's position has always been quite high. Koku and Luis Enrique in the midfield are both players who can make a goal and wing. It is not so much like 442, but rather 433 - a frontcourt trident composed of three Brazilians, which has huge lethality.

Barcelona has a tradition of using Brazilians in history. Romario, Ronaldo, and now Rivaldo. Almost all the top attackers from Brazilian football from the 1990s to the early 21st century have played in Barcelona. Of course, Ronaldinho is indispensable in the future. On the contrary, in addition to the later golden boy Messi, the Argentinians did not succeed in Barcelona. Maradona also failed in the past two years in Barcelona, ​​and Saviola also followed in Maradona's footsteps.

When Cole passed the ball to York, a huge howling sounded in the stands.

Tiger stopped Cole's return pass at his feet, and Old Li in the stands shouted excitedly: "Wife, look, my son has got the ball..." And in another corner, Kelly also stood up and looked at Tiger with concern.

Sony Anderson and Giovanni rushed towards Tiger. Both strikers are typical Brazilian strikers, with excellent feet and strong bodies. Although they were Barcelona's forward partners last season, they created quite a lot of opportunities for Rivaldo and Figo behind them.

Seeing two Brazilian strikers rushing towards him, Tiger was not afraid at all. He always believed that his ball-handling skills were not inferior to those of Brazilian players!

After turning slightly, he made a move to pass the ball to a horizontal pass, and after attracting Sony Anderson's attention, Tiger flexibly pushed the ball back under his feet, wiped it from Anderson, and then padd the ball forward with his left foot again, rushing straight from Giovanni, who had not come to make up for the position!

"The skills under this kid's feet are really unspeakable." Ferguson couldn't help but exclaim.

Van Gaal on the other side of the coach's seat looked at Tiger with a little surprise. Unlike Ferguson, he saw many excellent players in Spain, a league full of South American foreign players. However, Tiger's two actions just now only made him feel one thing - the combination of man and ball is quite beautiful, the movements are not stagnant, elegant and chic. This kind of action can be done so beautifully, which can only prove that the player's ability to control the ball has reached an extremely high level.

You should know that even technical players are different. Even if you are a skilled player, you may not be able to see many players who are so slight in the ball, even in South America!

I didn't expect that the English football world, which is famous for its strength and running, can produce such a player with such excellent foot skills...

Van Gaal of course paid attention to Manchester United's new season game before this game and also had a good understanding of Tiger's performance. After knowing that Tiger started in this game, he specially asked Coku to appear in the middle to protect Guardiola. The interception hardness of Barcelona's midfielder has always been average, but after having Coku, he believes that he will teach Tiger a lesson.

Van Gaal has always trusted Koku's compatriot. In addition to being a rare versatile player, Koku is also one of the best in running and interception skills, and is an all-around midfielder in the absolute sense.

After two consecutive days, Tiger passed the midfield, and then he soon saw Koku who was rushing towards him.

"They pressed really up." At the top of the arc in the middle circle, he encountered the opponent's defensive midfielder's block, which surprised Tiger. When he was at Manchester United, he rarely encountered the interception of the midfielder here. If the opponent's formation was not disconnected, it could only prove one thing, that is, the opponent's formation was pressed quite up!

After looking up and observing for a moment, Tiger immediately realized that this was true - Barcelona's entire defense line almost exceeded the 30-meter defensive area of ​​the team and maintained close contact with the midfield to avoid disconnection between the midfield and the backcourt.

"I'm so brave." Tiger muttered in his heart, turned around and pulled the ball backwards. He seemed to have stopped his steps because of Koku's forced, but after pulling the ball for a while, he suddenly exerted force with his right foot and passed the ball out with a hook!

This was a not-standard pass move. Tiger leaned forward and hooked the ball backwards. At this moment, Tiger's right calf quickly exerted force, swinging and kicked the ball to the left!

A long pass from the top! The moment Tiger passed the ball, Giggs rushed over from Rezig, not offside!

"Beautiful cross! Ever leaped through Barcelona's entire defense line in an instant! Giggs inserted in the back row-"

The commentator on the scene shouted in a scream, while the cheers of Manchester United fans in the stands suddenly became louder!

Looking down from the stands, the sense of passing the ball is more direct - looking down from the sky, the Barcelona players in the yellow jersey have a large number of people in their half-court. On the left, Giggs, wearing a red jersey, was rushing towards the opponent's half-court. Just when the red and the last row of yellow were about to come into contact, Tiger, who was in the midfield, raised his foot and passed the ball out!

Ferguson took two steps into the court, and Tiger's over-top shot was just right. Just as Giggs roared past Rezig's side, the ball had already begun to fall in front of him!

With his feet stretched out, Giggs took off the ball. At this time, Rezig had quickly turned around and chased. Giggs dribbled the ball and rushed forward for two steps, and then suddenly stopped in an emergency. Rezig, who could not hold back, rushed past him, and then Giggs dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

Facing Haysp who was attacking, Giggs pushed and shot directly with his left foot!

The sighs of Manchester United fans sounded over the stands. Giggs's shot was shot to the near corner, but Hesp responded quickly at this time. He fell to the ground and stretched his legs to block Giggs' shot from the bottom line!

Van Gaal let out a long sigh, while Ferguson leaned back suddenly, looking regretful.

Giggs held his head with both hands. He didn't expect the opponent to react so quickly. He was not in a hurry to shoot, but Barcelona's defense line returned to defend quite quickly. If he didn't shoot, he would probably be entangled by the opponent. However, Hesp's save this time was indeed wonderful...

However, he did not forget to turn around and give Tiger a thumbs up. Tiger smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

"His passing and insight are getting better and better. He didn't seem to have such excellent long pass ability last season. In addition to being a bit rough in details, the observation, judgment, and way of passing before passing..." Ross thought, touching his chin.

After playing against Manchester United last season, Ross began to pay great attention to Tiger's performance, especially after Tiger hired him as his agent, he never lost a game of Tiger's game - Ross had a very good vision, otherwise he would not have been able to play Manchester United's scouts and intelligence collectors often, and could still make Ferguson trust so much - this itself proves his vision of people. Last season, he observed Tiger had gorgeous and excellent skills and excellent counterattack ability, but he still lacked in passing and shooting. He passed a lot of passes, but he rarely saw that kind of inspirational penetrating pass. Occasionally, such a ball would be passed, but it was not continuity.

However, this season, he has already passed such a goal several times, such as the assist he gave York when he played against Prestone.

"I'm twenty-three years old and am still making progress at an unbelievable speed... Tiger, I've really read that wrong..." Ross murmured.

This extremely threatening attack set off a frenzy of Manchester United. However, what made Ferguson smiled bitterly was that before the game, he arranged the attack on the wing, and the middle was just involved. However, after Tiger's long pass, Tiger once again included the rhythm of the entire game into his control. He kept breaking through in the middle, passing the ball continuously, leading Manchester United to launch wave after wave of attack!

"The current offense..." Kidd said with a silence, and he also saw that the current game situation was different from the pre-match arrangement.

"I know, but the offense is good now... If you want to use Tiger, you have to take such a risk. This is a player who can only play the core to exert all his abilities... Besides, Roy cannot play, and we really need such an organizational core in the middle, but his position is higher than our usual tactics, but our players are still adapting." Ferguson said lightly.

Kidd nodded. Indeed, Manchester United's offensive momentum is very good now, so there is no need to force it to stop it. If you have anything to say, just say it after the game.

In the third minute, Tiger broke through and passed the ball. Kerr took the ball at the front of the penalty area and then took a step horizontally to shoot. Hesp flew to save the ball.

In the seventh minute, Tiger dribbled the ball and knocked the ball to Bart with his heel. Bart passed directly to York in the penalty area. York hit the ball high under Bogard's interference.

It was not until the tenth minute that Barcelona launched an attack. Guardiola passed the ball to Rivaldo. Rivaldo and Anderson made a two-for-one cooperation and then made a high-quality long shot. Schmeichel saved the ball and lost his hand. Giovanni followed up and made a follow-up shot, and was cleared by Stam, who returned to defense in time.

Next, Manchester United immediately launched an attack, Tiger passed the ball to Beckham on the right. Beckham passed the arc ball to the far post, and Giggs headed the ball, slightly above the crossbar.

"Go up, beat them back!" Hespe shouted. Barcelona was originally a team that was good at attacking, but now they were being beaten by Manchester United - it was enough to make them feel breathless.

However, Manchester United's running ability and frontcourt pressing make them feel uncomfortable. Guardiola is Barcelona's midfield soul, but once he gets the ball, he will be pressed by at least two Manchester United players. Sometimes it is Tiger and Beckham, sometimes it is Tiger and the retreating York or Cole, sometimes it is Tiger and Scholes...

Guardiola got the ball again, and Tiger immediately forced it up - this approach made Guardiola feel uncomfortable. Although he was protected by Koku and Enrique, Tiger would hit him very arrogantly every time - he obviously looked just a thin young man, but his ability to confront him was really not bad at all...

Seeing Tiger pressing him up again, Guardiola did not give him a chance to post it, but passed it to Koku who came up to meet him.

Tiger laughed in his heart. He seemed thin, but he was indeed much stronger now. A strong ability of up to 200 points is not a big deal. In Manchester United, he sometimes doesn't lose the least when he fights Bart. Of course, Tiger will not do such a thing as a foul fighter, Keane, a villain. However, Guardiola obviously has average physical ability. He is the No. 4 player unique to Barcelona, ​​and his physical fitness has never been his best.

After Coku got the ball, he planned to pass it directly to Rivaldo in front, but was successfully intercepted by Bart, who was stabbed out from the diagonal spike!

Rivaldo rushed back and wanted to counterattack, but Bart did not get the ball more, but directly passed the ball to Tiger in front - he was a pure defensive player and a team-oriented player!

Tiger received the ball, Koku just went up, and now Guardiola is the only one defending him in the middle!

And ahead of him, York and Cole were also responding!

After Tiger got the ball, he broke through the middle, and Guardiola's defensive ability can only be said to be average. Barcelona's situation is not good in three-on-three in the middle!

Sergi and Rezig immediately leaned towards the middle to prevent Tiger from breaking through Guardiola and then continuing to expand its advantage in the middle. However, at this moment, Tiger first made a fake move of forward rushing, and then raised his foot to pass the ball to Beckham, who was undefensive on the right!

After doing all this, Tiger began to accelerate his sprint into Barcelona's penalty area, one to continue to involve Barcelona's defensive players, and the other to get caught off guard by the attack on Barcelona!

Barcelona's two central defenders have average turnaround ability and flexibility - this is something Ferguson specifically explained before the game!

Even if Tiger is not fast, it is flexible enough!

Beckham took the ball from the right, and then he began to dribble forward - although his ability to dribble the ball was average, it was still very easy to dribble forward under unguarded defense. Moreover, Beckham has never been a player with poor foot skills. He may not have the agility of some dribble maniacs, but his basic skills are extremely solid.

After dribbling the ball and moving forward to the 30-meter area, Serge rushed over to defend Beckham. However, Beckham did not continue to move forward, but stopped dribbling the ball, looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area, raised his right foot and passed the ball arc into the penalty area!

After the ball flew out, Sergi barely rushed over, but it was already too late.

This is a cross with a considerable arc, not a high-altitude cross, but a half-high ball - both Barcelona's central defenders are 1.9 meters tall, and the effect of the high-altitude ball is not very good.

Ferguson stared at the arc of the ball flying, and Van Gaal stood up and took two steps forward.

The ball flew into the penalty area. York and Nadal at the front point were competing for the position. Although they were eight centimeters shorter than Nadal, York's strength was stronger than Nadal, who was already in his thirties. The two of them tangled for a while, but no one could touch the ball.

The ball flew to the middle, and Cole flew to the ground and shot under Bogard's entanglement, but was still one step slower, and the ball passed by his feet.

At this time, there were already sighs from Manchester United fans in the stands, and the ball continued to fly backwards...

Rezig was about to clear the ball when a red figure rushed over from outside the penalty area, stopped the ball with his right foot, and then swung his right foot and shot directly!

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Tiger—Lee!”

This is my way of playing! The midfield breakthrough disrupted the defense, and the teammates from the wings firmly inserted into the penalty area and completed the shot. This is how I, Tiger Lee, who was unstoppable in Preston last season!

After passing the ball to Beckham, Tiger rushed into the penalty area. He saw York at the front point and Cole in the middle, and then he rushed to the back point decisively. Although his speed was average, the distance of this sprint was not very long. Beckham dribbled the ball and advanced quickly, so he happened to catch up with Beckham's cross!

Next, his shooting ability was also best reflected!

He unloaded the ball without any hesitation, and then before Rezig could react, he immediately shot!

The first goal at Manchester United came so easy!
Chapter completed!
