"Viduka, Viduka picks the ball off Brown, shoots straight..."
Although Yu Liang was mentally prepared, after confronting Viduka, Yu Liang realized how big the gap was between him and these players with top physical fitness.At the moment of confrontation with Viduka, he thought of Drogba, another person. Hitting them was like hitting a wall and being crushed ruthlessly.
Seeing Viduka easily pick Brown to finish the shot, Yu Liang's heart skipped a beat. While praying in his heart, he accelerated towards the goal.
In the blink of an eye, Van der Sar kicked his feet and made a side throw, and directly blocked Viduka's shot on the goal line with both hands.But because Viduka's shot was so powerful, Van der Sar didn't choose to hit and hold the ball, but just blocked the ball.
The ball hit Van der Sar's hand and bounced back into the penalty area. Yu Liang was on the running route and watched the ball roll towards him. Yu Liang chose the safest way to clear the ball and kick it out of the baseline .
"call……"
After Van der Sar blocked Viduka's shot and Yu Liang made a clearance and kicked out of the baseline, Ferguson let out a long sigh of relief.
Although Yu Liang was at an obvious disadvantage against Viduka, the subsequent timely clearance also reflected Yu Liang's positive attitude towards the game, which can be regarded as making up for his previous mistakes.
But this time the crisis has not been completely resolved, Middlesbrough corner kick.
Tangning took a corner kick from the right, and Yu Liang followed closely beside Viduka, but when the football flew over them, Yu Liang still didn't resist Viduka.Viduka, who is physically strong, pushed Yu Liang away with his hand, jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal. The ball touched the crossbar and flew out of the baseline, which shocked the Manchester United people into a cold sweat.
"Adjust, Alex, if you continue like this, you will definitely lose the ball! Yu Liang, you can't guard against Viduka."
After a sigh of relief, Queiroz directly suggested that Ferguson adjust.These two rounds have proved that Yu Liang's defense is not only unable to help the defense, but may also drag down the entire defense.
"Wait a minute!"
Yu Liang suffered a loss in the two confrontations. Of course, Ferguson can see it, but he made Yu Liang not value Yu Liang's confrontation ability, but his excellent sense of position and defensive awareness.It was not reflected in these two confrontations, but he thinks it is still too early to make adjustments now.
After Viduka's header went over the bar, Manchester United also quickly organized an attack.Giggs made a direct pass from the left in the frontcourt. Middlesbrough defender Woodgate made an interception error. Alan Smith, who was offside and broke into the penalty area, shot and was confiscated by Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzer, missing a good chance to score.
Then Manchester United, eager to overtake the score, stepped up their offense, but because they were too anxious, they made frequent mistakes in midfield and lacked a threat.It was also difficult for Middlesbrough to pass through Manchester United's midfield, and the two sides entangled in the midfield for a while.
In the 60th minute, Middlesbrough attacked.
This time, it was Yakubu, another Middlesbrough striker, who found Yu Liang.Although Yakubu's body was not as strong as Viduka's, he still firmly stuck Yu Liang behind him, and then waved his hand to signal his teammates to pass the ball.
After the Middlesbrough midfielder saw Yakub stuck in his position, he immediately made a direct pass.
At this time, Yu Liang, who was stuck behind Yakubu, couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
If he is stuck behind him like this, what role can he play in defense?Since he came on the field, he has found that he has become Middlesbrough's offensive breakthrough point, first Viduka, and now Yakub.
We must guard against him!
Yu Liang made up his mind in his heart.
Yu Liang pushed Yakubu, but it had little effect.Although Yakubu was pushed forward by him and moved two steps forward, his arms were still like iron pincers, firmly jamming him.What's more, after he pushed past Yakub, Yakub's hands clung to his jersey, making it harder for him to do anything defensively.
"My lord..."
After cursing secretly, seeing Yakubu catch the football, Yu Liang simply backed away.
When Yu Liang withdrew, Yakubu immediately lost his focus.Originally, he put his focus on Yu Liang's body, and at that time, Yu Liang kept exerting pressure behind him, pushing him outward, so that after catching the ball, he could use Yu Liang's strength to complete the ball turn around.Now that Yu Liang withdrew hastily, he immediately lost his center of gravity and stepped back.
Seeing that Yakubu lost his center of gravity, Yu Liang immediately spread his hands, and then quickly rushed past Yakubu, poked the ball before Yakubu, and completed the steal.
"Pretty. That's it!"
Sitting on the bench, Ferguson waved his fist excitedly after seeing Yu Liang complete the steal on the back line.
After stealing the ball, Yu Liang did not give the ball to Carrick immediately.
After looking up for a while, Yu Liang made a long pass to the right.But Ronaldo failed to get the ball. Yu Liang's pass was weak and was directly intercepted by the opponent's player in the air.
Seeing that his long pass was not in place, Yu Liang shook his head dissatisfied.
He hasn't used this kind of long pass in a game for a long time, and it seems a little rusty.
Although the long pass was not in place, Yu Liang's defense this time was quite good.
After failing to score for a long time, Manchester United immediately made substitution adjustments, replacing King Dong and Alan Smith.
King Dong's playing put more pressure on Middlesbrough's defense, and the pressure on Yu Liang's defense was relieved a lot for a while.With the involvement of the frontcourt and the strength of the midfield, Manchester United gradually took control of the situation on the field and suppressed Middlesbrough to within 40 meters of the backcourt.
Although occupying an absolute advantage and creating several opportunities, Manchester United still failed to overtake the score.
After Rooney's shot missed the post, Middlesbrough made the first substitution adjustment of the game, replacing forward Yakubu and replacing Korean Lee Dong-guk.
After Li Dongguo came on stage, he directly faced Yu Liang.
Standing with Yu Liang, Li Dongguo was nearly a head taller, and his advantage was naturally very obvious.
After Manchester United stepped up their attack, it was difficult for Middlesbrough to organize an effective attack. After the attack passed halftime, they directly kicked a cross, hoping to take advantage of Viduka's impact and Li Dongguo's advantage over Yu Liang. to form an attack.
"Master's!"
Seeing Middlesbrough pass a high ball diagonally from the wing, he cursed directly.
Isn't this bullying him?
This time, Yu Liang didn't defend Li Dongguo like he did when he defended Yakubu before. Instead, he rushed towards the football, as if he wanted to clear the ball before Li Dongguo.
Korean Lee Dong-guk is an experienced striker. He followed the Korean team to participate in the World Cup in 98, and then briefly played in the Bundesliga on loan at Bremen. This season he came to Middlesbrough again.
But when he saw Yu Liang rushing towards the football, Li Dongguo also ran over.
It's an instinct.
He thought that Yu Liang would be able to take off and make a clearance.
As a result, after Yu Liang rushed over, he immediately turned around and ran back.
Being shaken by Yu Liang like this, Li Dongguo didn't know what Yu Liang was planning, but when he jumped up and wanted to unload the football, he realized that he jumped too early, and the football flew directly past his scalp.
Yu Liang, who had already run back at this time, lightly jumped his forehead to face the football, and directly pointed it to the retreating Carrick. Carrick caught the ball and turned around to attack. Manchester United launched a counterattack again...
