I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 339 The Taste of Looking at People's Faces

The Italian media, especially the local media in Rome, have reported on fair competition these days. The meaning is very clear, it is to put pressure on Manchester United, so that they will not release water in the last round of the Champions League group stage against Atletico Madrid, and go all out to defeat Atletico Madrid.

To this, Ye Su and Manchester United did not make any response, but were quietly preparing for the battle.

The final round of Group C matches at 7:45 UK local time on Tuesday evening.

At the pre-match press conference held at noon that day, a reporter from the famous Italian media "Corriere dello Sport" raised the question of whether Manchester United will keep their strength in the game in front of people all over the world.

Although Ye Su didn't want to answer such a question, it was a pre-match press conference after all, and he had to accept it when it was brought up.

Ye Su said that under any circumstances, Manchester United's pursuit is victory. In his dictionary, there is no such word as water.

Ye Su's answer satisfied the reporter of Corriere dello Sport.

However, the Italian media was satisfied, but the Spanish media was not so satisfied.

Atletico Madrid's performance in the Champions League this season is very average. They only got two draws against the underdog Qarabag, and even lost to Manchester United at home.

Now that I am in urgent need of a victory to secure the right to qualify, I came to Old Trafford as a guest. I had hoped that Manchester United would qualify ahead of schedule. Now that Ye Su said so, Atlético Madrid will have a hard time.

However, when Ye Su announced Manchester United's starting lineup for the game, the faces of the media in Rome and Madrid changed: the reporters in Rome looked ugly, and even a little out of breath; while the reporters in Atletico Madrid were smiling and in a good mood.

The reason is simple. In the UEFA Champions League group match against Atletico Madrid, Ye Su sent a full substitute lineup!

The reporter of "Corriere dello Sport" has already decided that in tomorrow's newspaper, he must scold Ye Su severely, so that the whole world can see the true face of this hypocritical oriental!

The reporter of "Marca" started to conceive a report on Atletico Madrid's victory at Old Trafford, ending Ye Su's 102 home unbeaten record in various competitions, and then praised Ye Su's beautiful and broad mind.

………………

Before the game starts,

Ye Su and Diego Simeone shook hands gracefully on the sidelines, and then bid farewell.

Diego Simeone looks at Manchester United's starting XI with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with Ye Su's formation. This is very conducive to his team to score points, and it is even more conducive to Atletico Madrid's qualifying.

At present, Rome and Atletico Madrid are fiercely competing for the right to qualify, but Atletico Madrid is at an advantage. As long as they can win Manchester United away in this game, they will definitely qualify. And if there is a tie, they can also qualify by virtue of their mutual record superiority with Rome.

Of course, Atletico Madrid's goal in this game is to win and win the right to qualify in an undoubted way. Therefore, Atletico Madrid's tactics in this game are offense, not their best defense.

And Ye Su also gave the team the order to attack and win.

Therefore, the game is always in a fierce confrontation from the first second.

The fans watched it very enjoyable. Before they knew it, the game had started fifteen minutes ago. The score on the field was still 0:0, but the combined number of shots from the two teams was already 11. Atletico Madrid shot 6 times, Manchester United Five shots. The number of fouls, Manchester United had seven times, Atletico Madrid had six times, from here we can also see the intensity of the game.

Manchester United has secured first place in the group. This game could have been played more conservatively and insignificantly. However, Ye Su did not adopt that kind of tactics. He was not conservative at all.

He said that Manchester United's pursuit is always victory. That's not what he said to the media, but what he said from his heart. Even if a rotating substitute lineup is on the field, Manchester United's goal is still victory!

Diego Simeone is also a very rebellious character. Although the Madrid media sarcastically said that Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid is a team that can only defend, but Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid has a characteristic, That is, if the opponent is very tough, they will also show a strong momentum. This is the style of the head coach, but this kind of momentum, when encountering a real strong enemy, is always ineffective.

………………

"Oh, God, this is definitely the most intense match in this round of the group stage. At the end of the half, the two sides have contributed 27 shots and 2 goals, which is very exciting." As a special invitation of Sky Sports Guest of honor Ferdinand said.

"Leo, what surprised me was Manchester United. I always thought that I knew Manchester United very well and knew Coach Ye Su, but until now I still can't believe it—" Lineker said with a surprised expression, "This Manchester United played with a full bench, but in the match against Atletico Madrid, they did not lose at all, they played very tough!"

"Gary, I'm different from you." Ferdinand said with a laugh, "I'm a Manchester United fan and I like this team. Although the players who played today were mainly Manchester United's substitute players, they are also very strong. It doesn't surprise me at all to play with Atletico Madrid the way it is now."

While the two commentators were talking about this, the first half of the game was over, and the electronic scoreboard at Old Trafford recorded the score at this time: 1:1!

In the 36th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid was assisted by former Liverpool and Chelsea striker Torres, known as the "Golden Boy", to score a goal for Saul.

But just minutes later, United took advantage of a set-piece and scored a header from Bruno Fernandes to equalize.

There was also a lot of discussion in the media seats.

When Manchester United played with a substitute lineup, everyone thought that Ye Su had selectively given up the game and saved his energy for the Tianwangshan battle with Manchester City on the weekend. With the strength of Atletico Madrid, facing Manchester United, who played with a full bench, can definitely easily crush.

However, the score of 1:1 in the first half of the game and the shooting ratio of 12:15 explained everything: Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, who almost played in the second team lineup, did not lose the wind? !

In addition, the performance of youngster McTominay, one of Manchester United's double midfielders, also stunned many people. a barrier.

It can be said that if it weren't for McTominay's sweeping interception, Atletico Madrid would definitely score more than one goal.

Moreover, McTominay's performance is not only on the defensive end, he also showed good talent and ability on offense. His forward assist is one of Manchester United's important offensive methods in this game.

………………

During the intermission, Ye Su praised the performance of the players: "Good job, let's play like this in the second half."

In fact, although he knew that Manchester United's substitute lineup had great potential, facing Atletico Madrid with all the main players, Ye Su actually had no idea in his heart, and was even mentally prepared to lose.

However, when the halftime game passed, Manchester United not only did not fall behind in the score, but even in the comparison of various statistics, they were not at a disadvantage at all.

Before the start of the second half, Ye Su taught Bruno Fernandez face-to-face in the player tunnel: "Bruno, you took too much defensive responsibility in the first half of the game, and Atletico Madrid will lose their vigilance against your offensive threats. In the second half of the game, With the right timing, you can get closer to the opponent's penalty area."

Every time Yesu said something, Bruno Fernandez nodded.

"Okay, try more long-range shots, maybe you will gain something." Ye Su patted the Portuguese on the shoulder.

Bruno Fernandez nodded, but he didn't think so in his heart. He also had two long shots in the first half, but the quality was very average. He even hit the plane with one kick. He felt that he felt bad about shooting today, but the coach said What, he just nodded and listened.

………………

After the start of the second half of the game, Manchester United still maintained a tough offensive posture and fought against Atletico Madrid without any hesitation.

Atletico Madrid's midfield combination today is Thomas, Gabi, Saul and Koke, and the striker is Torres and Griezmann. From the perspective of the card, this combination has a big name, but Ye Su can see through it at a glance The biggest problem of this Atletico Madrid team on the field is: weak midfield defense!

The most important thing is the lack of depth. Gabi's defensive ability is indeed good, but he is too old. At the age of 34, he cannot stop Manchester United's offensive.

Obviously, Diego Simeone also knows this, and his purpose is very clear, as long as they don't lose today, they can get the right to qualify. Therefore, Atlético Madrid did not intend to withdraw their defense in the second half. Diego Simeone made exactly the same choice as Ye Su-attack, fire with full firepower, and attack Manchester United.

The offensive and defensive rhythms of the two sides are very fast, and the sparks of you come and go, and the fans are also very enjoyable to watch.

Diego Simeone frowned. He realized that something was wrong. The scene was fierce and the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions was fast, but there were many more mistakes on the field and the technical content declined.

Something is wrong.

Diego Simeone launched a risky lineup with a strong offensive signal, the purpose is to lead Manchester United to play against each other, Diego Simeone's purpose has been achieved, in fact, when he saw Manchester United unafraid and Atletico Madrid When playing against each other, Diego Simeone was very proud. Ye Su, a young man, was really too young.

However, now he found that the result was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

According to Diego Simeone's vision, the ideal situation is that Atletico Madrid should have driven the rhythm of the game, leading Manchester United to play dizzily, and finally incontinent in Atletico Madrid's offensive storm. But the current situation is that Atletico Madrid has been led by Manchester United instead. So many mistakes are the most unfavorable signal.

Manchester United brought the pace of the game very fast, with constant mistakes on the field and fierce fighting.

………………

In the 57th minute of the game, Diego Simeone, who saw the situation was not good, took the lead in making a substitution. He replaced the veteran Torres with Carrasco.

Just 7 minutes later, Ye Su also made substitutions and adjustments. Captain Rooney replaced Vardy. Rooney appeared in the center position after his debut, Mbappe went to the right, and Rashford, who was originally on the right, went to the left.

Both sides have made adjustments on the offensive end.

Mbappe, who switched to the right, was very active, and the speed of the French teenager made Felipe Luis miserable.

Yes, Ye Su seized on Felipe Luiz to attack. The 32-year-old former Chelsea defender is indeed rich in experience, but facing the two talented new stars Rashford and Mbappe in turn, he played. very strenuous.

Ye Su's tactic was very straightforward: several young men with strong firepower took turns to mess with the old man, who could bear it.

First, Mbappe used his speed to directly eat Felipe Luis raw, and the Brazilian was forced to stop his opponent with a pull foul.

United had a chance from a set-piece, with Bruno Fernandes free-kick over the bar.

Then, Bruno Fernandez dribbled the ball up suddenly, he forced a breakthrough from the center, Atletico Madrid captain Gabila came up to intercept, Bruno Fernandez sent a pass to Mbappe.

Mbappe moved forward with the ball, he attracted Cork's upper grab, suddenly stopped and cut in, and made a gesture to shoot, which attracted Felipe Luis to intercept, but suddenly smashed the ball, stabbed with his left foot, the football went from Brazil The veteran's body rolled over, and Mbappé also twisted his waist directly and accelerated from the other side.

"The ball was divided! Felipe Luis was very embarrassed!"

This time, Felipe Luis didn't even have a chance to foul. He wanted to pull Mbappe, but Mbappe's speed was too fast and he had already dribbled away. He could only watch Mbappe helplessly Pei dribbled the ball horizontally, and after getting rid of the pursuit of Lucas and Saul, he suddenly knocked the football with his heel, just rolling back from the side of the chasing Saul.

Then, people saw a figure in a red jersey rushing up.

Bruno Fernandez didn't stop the ball and volleyed directly.

Gabi, who was marking Bruno Fernandez, did not expect that Bruno Fernandez would be so resolute this time, let alone that Mbappe would hit the ball with his heel after getting rid of people in a row.

Oblak is worthy of being one of the best goalkeepers in today's football. He reacted very quickly, fought hard to save, and successfully saved the football, but the power of this shot was great. The football was held by Oblak's left palm. Slowed down, but did not stop the flight speed, but continued to fly after a deflection, and then flew into the net against the right post of the goal.
