Chapter 314: Manchester United driven by dual cores! Part

Not long after the second half kicked off, Li Qi realized that Sir Alex was right. Keegan was stubborn. Even the Newcastle players were confused: the big pots on the defensive line were obviously unstoppable, and they were going to attack with all their forces? This was probably going to lead to a tragedy...

But in the first few minutes, it was still good. For Newcastle, it was like this:

Two minutes after the kick-off, in the 47th minute, Owen made a straight pass in the middle, Duff squeezed past Wes Brown, broke into the left side of the penalty area, forced a low shot at a small angle, but the ball was blocked by Van der Sar's legs.

One minute later, Alan Smith headed the ball back, and Butt took a long shot from 1 yards out, but the ball hit the post and went out of the bottom line...

However, Newcastle only scored three goals at the beginning, and three minutes later, it was Manchester United's turn to take over the game.

In the 49th minute, Manchester United got the first shot of the second half. Li Qi attracted a double-team and made a long pass. Ronaldo stopped the ball with his chest and cut inside to the edge of the penalty area and shot a powerful shot. The ball hit the crossbar and went over.

But this goal seemed to be a test for Manchester United to adjust their aim...

Five minutes later, Manchester United changed the score again.

In the 55th minute, Li Qi dribbled the ball from the side and passed it to the middle. Fletcher followed up and pretended to cooperate with Li Qi who continued to move forward. After deceiving the center of gravity of two defensive players, he turned his ankle and sent a straight pass to the other side...

In fact, Fletcher's pass was not very good, the ball was a bit slow and the angle was too straight. However, Steven Taylor, whose center of gravity was deceived, tried to turn around again to intercept Fletcher's straight pass and slipped because of his unstable center of gravity!

So Ronaldo behind him naturally accepted the gift with a smile, took the ball easily, and then faced Harper alone. He didn't even need to make a fake move. He just passed Harper who fell to the ground to save the ball with a sideways move, and then lightly pushed the ball into the empty goal with his left foot.

C Ronaldo scored twice and helped Manchester United change the score to 4-0.

This is also Ronaldo's 31st goal of the season and his 21st in the league, which again surpassed Adebayo who did not score in this round by two goals, and brought him one step closer to the league's top scorer.

But Manchester United's scoring climax was not over yet. Only 3 minutes later, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack against the already dizzy Magpies.

In the 58th minute, Newcastle launched another crazy attack but to no avail. The ball was headed out by Vidic and then headed by O'Shea to Rooney who was retreating to receive the ball...

Rooney, who was protecting the ball with his back, was brought down by Faye's tactical foul from behind. He then kicked the ball with his right foot and sent it diagonally to the left half of Newcastle. There was a large open space in that area, with only the number 7 in red running wildly!

After receiving the ball, Ronaldo took two steps and reached the front of Newcastle's penalty area, and then was caught up by Steven Taylor and N'Zogbia who were frantically returning to defense.

If it was the previous Cristiano Ronaldo, he would definitely just work alone. The normal routine would be to pedal the bicycle twice, then make a right-angle fake move and move to the right, then create an angle and shoot with his right foot.

But Li Qi's joining has indeed changed Ronaldo a lot, especially Li Qi's playing style, which has allowed Ronaldo to find an easier way to score goals, a more enjoyable way to score goals, and a more efficient way to score goals...

So Li Qi didn't even need to say anything, Ronaldo directly passed the ball to Li Qi who followed to the middle, and then he moved forward without the ball, intending to play a two-pass-one wall-style cooperation: as long as Li Qi passed the ball in time and Ronaldo was not offside, the two defensive players who hurried back to defense but did not stand in the right position would definitely have to watch the ball and sigh.

Li Qi naturally understood what he meant. He had practiced this simple tactic countless times: without stopping the ball, he directly hit the ball and passed it straight. The slightly lifted ball had a small arc and passed through the gap between Steven Taylor and N'Zobbia...

There was definitely no offside, Li Qi's pass was very timely and with just the right amount of force, enough for Ronaldo to touch the ball before Harper who had made an early move!

But this time was a little different from the previous goal. Ronaldo still wanted to pass Harper without any fake moves, but Harper learned his lesson this time. He did not let go of his center of gravity directly. Instead, he waited for Ronaldo to pass the ball horizontally, turned around, followed Ronaldo for two steps, and then made a tackle to intercept!

Seeing that he had not shaken off Harper and the angle was already very small, Ronaldo could only force a low shot.

The ball was also intercepted by Harper's tackle. However, the ball did not break out of the baseline, but bounced behind Harper, in front of Newcastle's goal, under the interaction between Ronaldo's left foot and Harper's thigh...

When Steven Taylor and N'Zogbia, who had been watching the ball, reacted and wanted to clear the ball, they found a red figure whizzed past the two of them and easily sent the ball in front of the goal into the empty goal again.

Li Qi, who triggered the breaking point, guessed the trajectory of the ball earlier than anyone else...

In less than an hour, the score had become 1 to 5!

After celebrating the goal with Li Qi, Rooney and Tevez, Ronaldo, who was thinking about getting the hat trick he missed after the kick-off, found a substitution sign on the sidelines: No. 7 off, No. 9 on, No. 17 off, No. 18 on.

Sir Alex Ferguson obviously does not want to give Ronaldo the chance to perform a hat-trick again in this game. It seems that he hopes he can use his energy for hat-trick on the next opponent.

As for Li Qi being substituted, it is probably because Sir Alex was very satisfied with the dual-core experiment in this game. Although they are separated on the two wings, one likes to go vertically and the other likes to go horizontally. One makes more forward runs and the other retreats. One dribbles more and attacks more and the other passes more...

They can also cooperate with each other through cutting inside and long passes. As long as some details and routines are improved in subsequent training and games, Sir Alex Ferguson believes that Manchester United's young duo can play for at least ten years, oh no, ten years.

Now that we have made up our minds, we should not waste too much energy on this game which is already destined to be a big win. After all, Newcastle has already been defeated, so it is not appropriate to expose the immature dual-core strategy too much to potential competitors.

In addition, replacing Ronaldo and Li Qi with Saha and Scholes can also test whether Rooney or Tevez can play the same single-core effect as Li Qi by retreating to provide support.

After all, Manchester United has experience with dual cores. The previous generation of dual cores were the veterans Giggs and Scholes who are still in the team. It's just that Sir Alex wants to see if it is possible to upgrade to three or four cores...

But Sir Alex Ferguson thought the picture was too beautiful, so Manchester United can't do it now.

After Ronaldo and Li Qi left the field, although Scholes and Carrick were in the midfield and did not lose control of the midfield, the sharpness of the front line dropped sharply.

Only Rooney and Tevez can still rely on their personal skills to create some threats, but there is indeed no layered coordination and breakthroughs.

Instead, Newcastle, who were reduced to a defeated army and could only fight for honor, scored a goal in the 78th minute.

Milner took a corner kick from the left side, and the 19-year-old substitute Carroll headed the ball to Faye, who shot in from close range. Newcastle successfully broke the deadlock at home and changed the score to 5-1.

However, Manchester United took advantage of Newcastle's attempt to save some face and once again rubbed salt into Newcastle's wounds during the upper body injury phase of the game.

In the 91st minute, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack. Rooney received a direct pass from Scholes and kicked the ball directly. Saha successfully made an offside, cut into the penalty area and shot low from 15 yards in front of the goal, scoring the final goal of the game.

6-1, Manchester United slaughtered Newcastle away from home, sending the latter to 10 games without a win, while Manchester United narrowed the points gap with the leader Arsenal: only one win away.

At the post-match press conference,

Kevin Keegan was still stubborn, but even a stubborn man like him would be embarrassed after a defeat, so he naturally changed the topic from the micro-level defeat to the macro-level relegation situation:

“任何队拿不到40分都可能降级，过去还有42、43分的队伍降级，现在我们才拿到了28分；因此为了拿到40分，我们还需要4场胜利，或者3场胜利、3场平局……”

On the contrary, Sir Alex was very happy with the big win and didn't want to pay attention to Keegan's math problems. Sir Alex was very satisfied with the team's performance:

"We played well, we could have scored more goals, we created chances, but the important thing is that the players looked energetic and in good shape, remembering that we had just played an away game in the Champions League three days ago."

Sir Alex Ferguson then talked about the changes in Manchester United's midfield, mainly the establishment of a dual-core strategy: "Yes, we not only changed the midfield but also made certain adjustments to the tactical play...

I can only say that Ronaldo and Li Qi are both amazing. When they were on the field, they participated in almost every attack and every goal of Manchester United. Newcastle's defense had no way to deal with them!

I thought from the beginning that the two of them could coexist at the same time! They are separated on the two wings, and there is Rooney and Tevez. Our four little swans can flexibly switch positions and play different styles of football. They are all beautiful football and winning football. This game is an example.

I believe Manchester United's attacking combination will frequently make the headlines, they are too creative and talented, and they are invincible! "

Finally, Sir Alex changed the topic and talked about the championship topic that everyone is most concerned about:

"The gap between us and Arsenal has been reduced to three points, which is just a difference of one game, and Arsenal will be visiting Old Trafford. We have put a lot of pressure on Arsenal, we need to keep working hard and hope to surpass them at the end of the season!"

Yes, compared to Manchester United, which currently has a complete lineup and a burst of attacking combination, Arsenal will start to have a headache about the forward.

In this round of games, Da Silva was seriously injured and ended his season early - there were even rumors that he might retire due to injury.

At the same time, Van Persie has not recovered yet, and even if he returns, Wenger will be extra careful. Having learned from the lesson of being seriously injured again last time he rashly went on the field, the Dutchman will not get too many opportunities in the short term.

It is no secret that Bendtner and Adebayor are at odds. The prospects of their partnership are uncertain, and Walcott is not suitable to be placed directly on the front line...

Wenger probably no longer has any backup plan or room for maneuver, and can only stick to one lineup and let Adebayor, Hleb and Fabregas continue to fight hard.

As for relying on bench players to score goals like Manchester United did, Wenger didn't dare to expect anything.

You know, the last time a substitute scored a goal for Arsenal in the league was last year...

Therefore, Sir Alex Ferguson has reason to believe that Manchester United will be able to turn the tide. The 3-point disadvantage is nothing in Sir Alex's eyes, not to mention that there are still 10 rounds of the league:

"It's not easy to fall behind, but we have experience. We reversed Villa and Newcastle in the 92/93 and 95/96 seasons. What's more, our dual-core tactics are just about to show their strength!"

Speaking of Manchester United's dual-core coexistence, although there were some minor problems at the beginning, after playing these two games, Sir Alex Ferguson has become more confident.

Because Chelsea, another league title rival, has long been constrained by the coexistence of the core players in the midfield and frontcourt - such as Lampard and Ballack, such as Drogba and Shevchenko...

After the league match with Newcastle, Li Qi has a rare break. He has no game tasks this week. Although there will be a second round of life-and-death battle with Lyon next week, it will be at home after all.

In the middle of the week there is the fifth round of the FA Cup, and the next round will be after the Champions League round of 16.

However, Sarafina did not come to Manchester this week, because Li Qi would most likely go to London with the team on Friday night, the 29th, to prepare for the 28th round of the Premier League match against Fulham on Saturday afternoon: coming on Thursday and returning on Friday would be too much trouble...

So this week, Li Qi secretly summoned Liana to Manchester for a tryst, oh no, it was a meeting!

At the airport, Ricardo met Liana, who was dressed casually. Her petite body was completely covered by a light blue denim jacket and straight jeans, which concealed her graceful inner beauty. Ricardo, who had just finished training, suddenly remembered that she had also frequently taken flights to see him before...

By the way, what’s its name?

When they arrived at the suite of the luxury hotel for the meeting, the scumbag Li saw that Liyana had shed her plain appearance and had a very different inner self. The bright color was Li's favorite style and color...

(☉?6?6☉)

The scumbag Li immediately remembered the sexy name with awe: Chiara!

Oh! This damn tenderness...

The content of the meeting between Liana and the scumbag Li was very wide-ranging. Of course, what was indispensable was that as professional medical experts, they provided bare-hand massage to relax the muscles and meridians of athletes fighting on the battlefield. What was inappropriate about this?

In addition, it is obvious that Liana is also very concerned about her lover. She also mentioned to the scumbag Li the newspaper she saw on the flight, which mentioned Manchester United's midfield combination and Ricardo:

"Who is Manchester United's most popular midfield duo?" This is a street poll conducted by a famous British tabloid in Manchester.

Although Ricardo has been temporarily positioned as a winger by Sir Alex Ferguson, which is a core-pushing tactic, but given that Ricardo can also play in the middle and has performed well in a few central combinations, he is still listed on the list of candidates for central midfielder by this famous tabloid.

Of course, the other three stupid geese among the four little swans are not a problem.

The result of this street vote was beyond the expectations of the initiator. Ricardo, who basically played on the wing, unexpectedly became the most trusted double forward combination with Carrick, winning 30% of the votes.

Ricardo rarely pretended to be polite in front of Liana. He brushed his bangs and said, "It seems that in addition to professionals, Manchester fans also know a lot about football. They know that I am more effective when I play in the middle, which poses a greater threat..."

This time, Liana did not act as a supporting role as usual, but choked the scumbag Li: "Isn't it because you two are the most handsome among the candidates for central midfielder? Look at the rest of the results."

Uh… second is the combination of Ricciardo and Hargreaves, with 22%, followed by Ricciardo and Scholes with 14% and Carrick and Hargreaves with 9%.

Anyone who is in the same group with Anderson and Fletcher has a support rate of no more than 2%. The worst thing is that the double monster combination of Anderson and Fletcher was not even included in the candidate combination, or the support rate is still zero. So we won’t bother them?

It seems that appearance is indeed a kind of strength!

So do we need to replenish collagen early?

First ask Liyana to borrow a few facial masks...

Should I ask Sarafina for help? Forget it. If I let her know, she might scold me again!
