Two Hundred and Twenty First Collapse Edge

In the past three years, the Premier League teams have basically gone sideways in the Champions League. Although only one Champions League champion, Manchester United, has been born, for three consecutive years, three Premier League teams have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League!

If counting from 2005, for five consecutive years, the Premier League teams have stood on the final venue.

BIG4 won the runner-up in turn. Liverpool and Manchester United won the championship, and both also won the runner-up. Liverpool won the championship in 2005, Arsenal runner-up in 2006, Liverpool runner-up in 2007, Chelsea runner-up in 2008, and Manchester United runner-up in 2009.

The strength of the Premier League at this time, in the eyes of the outside world, relies more on two points, strong confrontation and abundant physical fitness. Based on these two points, when the pace is accelerated to the point of destruction, even some European giants can't stand it. !

Situ Yunbing made some mistakes in judgment. He believed that Monaco had played against Chelsea in the group stage and had a general feeling for the rhythm of the Premier League. I had some expectations in my heart, but I didn't expect Manchester United to increase the rhythm to the point where Monaco was really at a loss!

Monaco's offensive and defensive transition link has difficulty running smoothly due to rhythm problems. If the offensive and defensive transition is not done well, the counterattack cannot be threatened, and even the counterattack cannot be played!

Manchester United repeatedly attacked Monaco's goal in the rhythm they are good at and in the way they are good at.

In the 14th minute of the game, Monaco finally played a decent counterattack. It was Morrow who sent a long pass from the backcourt to find Suarez in the frontcourt. Advance forward, Nemanja Vidic intends to intercept head-on in the retracement.

The combination of Ferdinand and Vidic became the best central defender combination in Europe in the 2008 Manchester United championship season.

Faced with such a back line, even Suarez is a little tricky in the frontal impact, but he still actively seeks cooperation with his teammates.

Gareth Bale quickly cut inside and tried to counter-offside. Just when Gareth Bale was about to rush past Ferdinand, Suarez was also about to pass the ball, and Vidic took advantage of this opportunity to grab it immediately!

Suarez did not expect that the opponent would change the pace of retracement and turn to rush up. The rhythm of his feet was chaotic, and he instinctively changed from passing to smashing. Although he dodged Vidic's pressing, the timing of the pass was gone Yes, Gareth Bale is offside!

Ferdinand followed closely with Vidic to shrink the defensive distance to complete the pincer attack on Suarez!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Suarez was heartbroken. When he made a gesture to pass the ball to the wing, he turned the ball forward with his right foot, and then made a strong attack from between Ferdinand and Vidic. Gareth Bale was facing back. He didn't turn around to meet him. In fact, he was the closest to the football, but he knew he was offside, and it didn't make much sense to chase him. It's better to see if Suarez can kill a bloody way to create a threat.

As a result, the football passed, but Suarez's forward line was blocked by Ferdinand.

The two collided, and Suarez sat down on the ground and opened his hands to the referee to complain about the opponent's blocking foul, but the referee did not say anything, probably thinking that Suarez had lost control of the ball.

Manchester United managed to contain Monaco's quick counterattack.

After 3 minutes, Manchester United repeatedly attacked on the left. Although the combination of Evra and Nani is definitely not as big as the threat that Evra + Ronaldo can create in the past few years, Manchester United's advantage in rhythm impact can also make Nani and Evra form a pressing advantage on the left!

Nani cuts in and shoots, Evra makes a pass from the bottom, or takes advantage of the depth of the attack and then enters the penalty area. During this period, Monaco has continuously strengthened its defense on the right.

In the 20th minute of the game, Evra received Nani's return pass from the left. This time he did not continue to charge forward, but made a 45-degree cross from the side.

Monaco's defense line was just about to tilt forward to Nani's side, but saw Evra's cross ball hoisted to the back of the penalty area.

Park Ji-sung quickly rushed past Vertonghen, and when the football fell, he directly kicked the ball across.

Rooney followed up in the middle and grabbed a shot. De Gea abandoned the goal and blocked it from close range. Rooney's shot directly hit De Gea's chest and bounced behind him.

Disappointed Manchester United fans in the stands at Old Trafford.

But when Matic tried to stop the ball in front of the penalty area, he ignored the threat of pressing from behind.

Matic observed Scholes' position, but he didn't expect Fletcher to rush up from behind. Before he stopped the ball, Fletcher came out from the side and rear and took the ball away first!

Matic was caught off guard and stretched his legs subconsciously, but it was too late!

Fletcher went straight into the penalty area this time, he didn't make any adjustments, but quickly kicked and shot!

Benatia was also obviously slow to come up to block. I probably thought that Matic could control the ball just now, and the defense could temporarily lift the alarm.

De Gea quickly got up and ran towards the left post of the goal. After running two steps, he immediately saved it. When he stretched his right arm to the limit, he was about half a meter away from the football. The football rolled into Monaco goal!

Fletcher rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with a crazy expression after seeing the football rolling into the Monaco goal. Manchester United teammates also rushed to him, and the atmosphere at Old Trafford exploded!

"Goal! Fletcher! Surprising goal scorer! Fletcher fires United's first shot into the Champions League semi-finals for the fourth consecutive year!

This goal was completely grabbed by Fletcher. Monaco's defense had just experienced a wave of danger. After De Gea blocked Rooney's shot, Matic didn't know enough about the situation behind him. Fletcher went up to grab it Break the ball ahead of time, take advantage of the opportunity to enter the penalty area and then push the ball into the goal!

We can clearly feel that Monaco has not kept up with the pace of Manchester United's game since Monaco lost the goal after the opening. Manchester United completely dominated the game in the Theater of Dreams!

Monaco's famous defensive counterattack did not produce the expected effect!

Now Monaco needs to adjust their state first, not to be affected by conceded goals. According to Manchester United's posture today, I am afraid that this goal is just an announcement that the game has just begun! "

In the jubilant atmosphere at Old Trafford, Situ Yunbing felt cold sweat dripping down his back.

Real Madrid is very strong and has more stars, but Real Madrid does not have the crazy energy and momentum of Manchester United, or this is the unique magic of the Red Devils!

This is the most embarrassing 20-minute game played by Monaco this season!

Without Situ Yunbing's gestures, captains Modesto and Perez clapped their hands to encourage their teammates to cheer up. At the same time, everyone reminded each other to stabilize the scene.

After the Red Devils celebrated, the game continued. Monaco tried to counterattack, but the offense was not ideal. From the perspective of technical performance, with the rhythm and blood spurting, the players will have less time to handle the ball. This will affect the technical ability of the players The requirements will be higher!

It just so happens that Monaco is a bit weak in the midfield technique. They are more than tough, but not delicate enough. The defense is fine, but the offense is a bit difficult.

In a fast-paced environment, precise passing is required, and a slight error will give the opponent a chance to attack on the spot.

In the 29th minute of the game, Gareth Bale forced a long-range shot from the left side of the Manchester United penalty area. Van der Sar easily saved the danger.

Situ Yunbing shook his head slightly on the sidelines. Driven by the rhythm of Manchester United, Monaco completely lost their sense of game rhythm. Even if they had a chance to counterattack, they became impatient, as if football was a time bomb, and they wanted to kick the ball away from them earlier.

Situ Yunbing kept gesturing to the players on the sidelines, telling them to keep calm. As long as the offense develops to the opponent's half-court, they still need to improve their efficiency and don't play too blindly.

The home pressure at Old Trafford and the lightning-fast rhythm of the game driven by the Red Devils seemed to suffocate the Monaco generals!

In the 33rd minute of the game, Gary Neville made an assist from the right and knocked the ball back obliquely after holding down Monaco's left defense. Scholes and Carrick cleverly completed the forward pass and cut cooperation. After Rooney advanced forward, he gently divided the ball in front of Nkuru to the right of the penalty area. Rooney kicked the ball horizontally when Vertonghen was defending.

Nkuru's previous attack was too big, Scholes went forward, he turned around and chased back, and was thrown away!

In response to Rooney's cross, Scholes kicked the goal directly in front of the penalty area!

The football was less than 30 centimeters from the ground, and De Gea had no time to fall to the ground in a hurry, so he stretched his legs to block the ball!

The football that flew to the left outside the penalty area flew to the place where Nani was, and Modesto immediately went out to defend and stretched his legs to clear the ball outside the sideline before the football landed. As a result, the football hit Nani's leg The refraction went to the back of the wing.

Evra rushed past Witsel's side and took possession of the ball and advanced 5 yards forward, then decisively kicked the pass!

Monaco's defense has just recovered from the last wave of danger, and Manchester United's second attack is coming again!

Evra's cross landed in the middle of the penalty area. Benatia tried to take off with a header while moving, but the football passed less than 10 centimeters above his head!

Take off!

And one meter behind him, Rooney made a strong forward attack and rushed to the top to attack the goal!

The football flew straight to the top left of the middle of the goal. De Gea reached out to try to block it, but he was still powerless!

The ball is too fast!

The football flew into the goal of Monaco again!

Rooney ran to the sidelines with open arms to celebrate, and the cheers of Old Trafford shook all directions!

Situ Yunbing frowned, but his eyes were still sharp.

This trend was completely unexpected for him. Monaco is already on the verge of collapse. If effective adjustments are not made at this time, then Monaco's Champions League journey may end at Old Trafford, the theater of dreams of the Red Devils!
