Chapter 49-Victory of Thought, Li Ao's Leading Attack!
" If we recall the wonderful scenes in the first half of the game, maybe there are only fouls, tackle, conflicts."
Zhang Jun shook his head.
This was a screenshot of the first half.
The two sides engaged in a hand-to-hand battle in the first half.
There was no way to show their skills and tactics in such a game. The players on both sides relied on their willpower to grit their teeth and hold on.
Who would be the first to cower?
Whoever lost.
At this moment.
The television broadcast's camera locked onto Li Ao.
His white away jersey was now black and blue.
It was either mud or grass.
This was enough to show how Li Ao did not make any mistakes in the first half.
However, at this moment, no matter who it was, they could not help but respect this seventeen-year-old youth.
This was because in such a hand-to-hand battle.
This young man bravely joined in, confronting his opponent without fear.
He was chopped down again and again.
Then, he got up and knocked over the opponent's player who was holding the ball.
"The first half of the game passed in such a hand-to-hand battle, but I don't think Manchester United will be satisfied with the current situation. They need to win, they need to score, and they can't waste time on a stranglehold with Liverpool's midfield. Ferguson must find a way to solve this problem during the halftime interval.”
Andy Gray said.
....
Ferguson was indeed thinking of a way.
The solution he came up with was to replace the little pea Hernandez.
Put on Scholes!
What was his motive?
Adding a support point in the midfield!
"We need to pass the ball in the midfield!”
Ferguson said.
" We can't continue to tangle with them. We have to speed up the passing."
At this point.
Ferguson thought of Li Ao's midfield performance against Ajax.
"Li, I need you to pass the ball like you did in the last UEFA Europa League, but the speed of the pass needs to be faster! Faster!"
"Can you do it?"
"Of course I can, boss!”
Li Ao said without hesitation.
He also understood the purpose of the team's replacement of a new midfielder.
Another reason why Li Ao was targeted in the first half was that there were only two players in the midfield. There were too few points for him to get the ball out, and it was easy for him to be stuck by the opponent.
Now that Scholes was on the field, Li Ao, Carrik, and Scholes formed three midfielders, so there were more options for passing.
Back in the locker room, Li Ao also had time to reflect on his performance in the first half.
They wanted to get rid of the situation of being constantly violated in the first half.
His passing speed, movement speed, and thinking speed had to be faster!!!
Ferguson nodded slightly.
He was very clear.
The meaning of such a competition to Li Ao.
If Li Ao could be kicked out of this competition.
Then he would be able to cope with all the Premier League matches!!
This was a hurdle.
Across the sea and sky!
.....
After the start of the second half.
The first thing people noticed was Manchester United's substitution.
"Manchester United took the lead in making adjustments. Scholes came on to replace Hernandez, Li Ao is still on the field, and now Manchester United has added a midfielder to the field!”
On the other hand, Liverpool did not move. They still adopted the same strategy as in the first half.
Li Ao was still under a lot of pressure.
However, he had gradually adapted to the rhythm of the first half.
He began to consciously run and spread the word.
He would not let the football stop at his feet for a second.
He kept running, running to the empty space, raising his hand for the ball, then passing the ball out, and then running to the next empty space.
They were like bees shuttling through flowers.
His handling of the ball looked very simple.
The technique he used was not fancy either.
They were all basic skills.
Gralesh, who was on the sidelines, did not care.
This was because Li Ao's passes weren't very threatening. They were all regular passes. In fact, it wasn't easy for Li Ao to do this.
Because he had too little time to think.
He had to make a decision on the direction of the pass before he received the ball, and immediately after the pass, he had to decide where he would receive the ball next.
At this moment.
Li Ao's full level prediction ability helped him quickly find the passing route and the empty space on the court.
But even so, it was not easy to carry out such a rapid transfer.
During this process.
His thoughts were running at high speed.
His brain activity was no less than those who were participating in the Mathematical Olympiad World Cup.
Football was not just a sport that concerned physical fitness and footwork.
For a midfielder.
His brain was perhaps the weapon that a midfielder relied on the most.
Just like what Li Ao was doing now.
Under such a rhythm.
Li Ao gradually found the feeling.
The entire Manchester United team began to trust Li Ao more and more.
They surrounded Li Ao, passing and receiving the ball.
During this process.
Manchester United's offense gradually pushed forward to the front field.
Liverpool's strangulation in the midfield was resolved by Li Ao's quick pass.
however
This was because there was more space in the midfield.
When they reached the front field.
After the Liverpool players had completely retreated.
The space was even narrower.
When the distance between players was shorter.
Li Ao's handling of the ball was even more difficult.
However, Li Ao was much calmer than before.
Everyone's location information was in his mind.
Scholes 'pass came.
Before Li Ao received the ball, he had already found the target he wanted to pass the ball to.
As he ran, he kicked the ball out, leaving Liverpool's defensive players in the air.
The football was passed by Li Ao to the full-back Evra.
Then he continued to move. The jogger moved sideways and did not look fast.
However, his entire body was ready to attack.
In this slow movement, Li Ao approached Liverpool's penalty area.
During this process.
The significance of the three midfielders was revealed.
As Li Ao moved, Carrik and Scholes took on the task of passing the ball twice.
When Scholes received the pass.
I saw Li Ao secretly make a gesture---pass the ball in the direction of my finger.
That was an opening!
Scholes did not move. He was about to change direction when his ankle suddenly shook and he sent the ball straight in!!
The top of the penalty area!
Li Ao suddenly moved. The two points of explosive power had taken effect. His short distance movement speed was very fast!!
At this moment.
Liverpool's defensive line also moved.
Liverpool's center back, Skrtel, quickly rushed towards Li Ao.
Li Ao received the ball. This time…
He didn't pass it on!
Instead, he took advantage of the situation and dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
The sudden change caught Liverpool off guard.
No one could react in time. They watched helplessly as Li Ao dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
None of them had expected this.
Li Ao, who had been passing the ball, suddenly chose to dribble the ball himself!
Skrtel rushed forward.
His body was like a mountain.
The Liverpool center-back was extremely strong in front defense.
After Li Ao dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he used his left foot to intercept the ball and used his body to separate the football from Skrtel, preventing the opponent from reaching out to poke the ball away.
Then, just before Skrtel came up, the outer foot of his right foot deflected the ball into the penalty area.
Bang!
Li Ao was sent flying.
But the football was also passed out by him!!
In the restricted area.
A figure appeared!
"Rooney!"
Amidst the shoutcasters 'cheers.
Rooney did not need to stop the ball to adjust and directly pushed the ball!!!
The football stuck close to the turf and passed through the ten fingers of Liverpool's goalkeeper, Pepe Reina!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!1”
While the commentators were shouting.
The Manchester United players cheered and roared as they rushed forward. Rooney was the first to leap up and directly pressed Li Ao under his body.
Immediately after, more Manchester United players rushed up.
"Beautifully done!"
"They can't even grab the corner of your clothes!”
"Hahahaha! Let's do it!"
"This feels so good!"
Everyone reached out their hands and rubbed Li Ao's meticulously groomed hair into pieces!
