Chapter 369 Every Item on Him Can Score a Goal

It is true that Dong Fangzhuo has not scored in three games, but in addition to the League Cup, he has been involved in the other two games. Just like the last game, the first goal was scored by him assisting Rooney. Dong Fangzhuo does not need to score. , the important thing is that Manchester United won the game.

Nowadays, few people complain about Dong Fangzhuo not scoring goals because he is in a hot state.

Unless Dong Fangzhuo is tired, Ferguson will never replace him. This is Ferguson's trust in him.

"Benfica coach Koeman clamored before the game that the "hell" of the European war has moved from Istanbul to Lisbon, and the Red Devils will be hated by the fans here. However, a careful analysis of the tactics of the two teams shows that Manchester United will move from hell. The key to escaping Ascension is to take advantage of the wide spaces. As Ferguson pored over his brother Martin's scouting report yesterday, a confident smile would have taken over his lips."

"Last weekend, Koeman's team just defeated Maritimo 1-0 in the Portuguese Liga. Although Benfica deployed a 5-man midfielder in this campaign, Cariaca on the left often cut inside, and the attack was almost entirely through the narrow marching through the middle; and their four defenders are usually all crowded near the penalty area. Benfica's style of play means that the defense will rarely receive support from the wide midfielders, which gives Ronaldo, Rooney or Giggs the opportunity to pass through the wings. Creating opportunities provides convenience.”

"In addition, although there are many people in Benfica's center, it is not unbreakable. Can midfielder Pettit keep Dong Fangzhuo in check? Center defender Luison is 1.94 meters tall, but his partner Alcides is very reckless and slow. This line of defense is very difficult. It is easy to be penetrated by Rooney and Rooney's one-on-one combination."

"Benfica goalkeeper Kim is not good at taking big kicks. His goal kicks even require defenders to take them. Manchester United must make full use of the opponent's opening kicks to steal the ball and counterattack quickly. Although Gomez is currently the top scorer in the Portuguese Super League, he has played in the past 13 games. He scored 10 goals, but as a lone forward he needs wing support, but Simao, who scored for Benfica when the two teams met in September, was injured and absent, leaving Gomez alone. This is very likely to force Koeman to put the Portuguese forward last weekend. Mantoras, who scored the winning goal in the Super League, was sent in and the game was changed to 442."

"Italian international Miccoli, former Inter Milan's Karagounis and Brazilian winger Giovanni are all injured like Simao..."

Lineker helped Manchester United analyze Benfica from top to bottom, and there were no secrets at all.

He probably could have become a head coach if he wanted to. Of course, Ferguson would not be without his analysis. This is the most basic report for a team to examine the opponent's situation.

Although it seems that Benfica will not have any advantage at home, Koeman is still confident before the game: "The previous games of this group have shown how important defense is, but this time we have to attack because we need to win. We will play offensive football. , because we are the masters of the pitch. We will make full use of our header advantage to attack, and anything is possible.”

Benfica needs a win to qualify;

Manchester United only needs one point to secure first place in the group.

In the away dressing room, Ferguson seemed to be repeating Lineker's tactical orders against Benfica.

"Sideway!"

"Sideway!"

He gave clear tactical orders to Ronaldo and Rooney.

"Make sure to break down their defense on the wing and create shooting opportunities."

"Yes, boss!" Ronaldo and Rooney responded almost in unison.

"Dong, kill that clumsy Louison."

"Yes, I will kill Louison," Dong Fangzhuo said, "I will make him feel like a useless stake!"

"Hey, I don't want to see the opponent's attacker showing off in front of our penalty area!"

Ferguson looked at the starting defenders.

"..."

"At 19:45 local time on the 7th in Portugal, the competition will begin on match day 6 of Group D of the UEFA Champions League, Benfica VS Manchester United."

"Ferguson arranged an offensive starting lineup, with Gary Neville starting in place of Brown. There was no suspense about the front trident. In the midfield, Ferguson rearranged the young combination of Fletcher, Smith and Park Ji-sung, and the veteran was still on the bench. On the top, the only defensive risk may be Silvester. Benfica has five main players missing this game due to injuries, but it would be a big mistake to think that Benfica has no fighting capacity..."

Lineker expressed concern.

The final starting lineups of both sides were:

Benfica lineup (4-5-1): Quaim; Anderson, Luison, Leo, Alcedes; Petit, Nuno Assis, Nelson, Beto, Giovanni; Nuno No. Gomez.

Manchester United lineup (4-3-3): Edwin van der Sar; Gary Neville, Vidic, Silvester, Heinze; Smith, Fletcher, Park Ji-sung, Ronaldo, Rooney, Dong Fangzhuo.

Sure enough, Koeman fulfilled his pre-match promise. In order to score three points, Benfica started a massive attack at the beginning.

In the 3rd minute of the opening, French Petit dribbled the ball up from the left, but was pulled down by Fletcher. He personally passed the free kick into Manchester United's penalty area. His skillful footwork allowed him to pass the ball. A high-quality ball. Anderson, who was far away, still headed the goal and missed the near corner under the marking of Sylvester.

"Sylvester is still the same, not reassuring. He was clearly standing in front of Anderson, but he was actually beaten by someone jumping behind him. Can he judge the landing point of the ball? Why do I feel that he is fooling the young man? Kedu is not reliable."

"Although Pique's turning speed is better than Manchester United, at least he has height and will not let Anderson steal the header. Of course, Pique's biggest weakness is his lack of experience in the game..."

However, Manchester United quickly launched a quick counterattack. The alert Van der Sar immediately threw the ball to Smith. The latter passed the ball cleverly. Ronaldo quickly intervened on the right. When Dong Fangzhuo was tightly double-teamed, he chose the right side of the penalty area. Rib poke!

However, Benfica goalkeeper Quaim easily confiscated the shot after blocking it.

Rooney waved his hand at the back point to express his dissatisfaction with Ronaldo. Dong Fangzhuo is guarded, so he can choose to pass to the back. When Van der Sar launched a counterattack, these people all rushed forward together. This was indeed a good counterattack opportunity.

However, Rooney's depression quickly subsided, because Park Ji-sung intercepted the ball from French national Petit on the left, and then handed it to Rooney who ran to the center. Rooney saw the gap on the right while receiving the ball, and with his right foot A beautiful pass was passed to Gary Neville who came up with an assist. Neville could not miss this opportunity and immediately passed the ball. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also wandering in the middle, jumped up and made a false shot!

Benfica's entire defense line was attracted by Ronaldo, and Dong Fangzhuo, under the cover of Ronaldo, suddenly avoided Louison's marking and moved to the back point.

Louison followed, but Dong Fangzhuo moved too fast. By the time he strode in front of Dong Fangzhuo and tried to block Dong Fangzhuo's sight, Dong Fangzhuo had already raised his right thigh and bumped it irregularly.

This action is accomplished entirely by feeling!

The ball flew into the goal.

He scored a goal with his thigh!

"Goooal!"

"goooooooal!"

"goooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Oh, captain, he'll never be without a ball!"

"Every part of him can score a goal!"
