Chapter 1193

Before Giggs gave Rooney a hidden pass, and then hit such a beautiful shot, Benfica's players immediately put aside their contempt, feel that the old guy has two brushes, must be vigilant.

Benfica's first attack was aimed at the two young men on the right side of Manchester United. They thought they were inexperienced and easy to break through. Now seeing that Giggs's left side is not a small threat, Benfica immediately launched an attack on Giggs's left side and used the attack to suppress the attack.

When attacking, Giggs can master the rhythm, take as he wants and pass as he wants.

When defending, it's no good. The defender should follow the rhythm of the attacking player, which is a great consumption of physical strength and energy.

Especially when Benfica transferred Gaetan to the right and focused on Giggs, Giggs couldn't keep up. Fletcher had to run to the side frequently to support.

Originally, Fletcher kept running to the flank with two back midfielders. In the middle, he almost lost one man, leaving Benfica a a lot of attacking space.

Benfica is a Portuguese team with European Latin style. They are good at passing, cutting and penetrating. Once they are given big space, the result is very terrible.

In the 10th minute of the game, Benfica passed quickly in the front court! Forward Cardoso pulled the centre back out of the penalty area, clown Aimar quickly forward, Gaetan passed to Cardoso, Cardoso hit straight to the penalty area to find Aimar!

The passer and the shooter reversed their position, which caught the Chinese defender off guard. Smarin's tackle was slow and EMAR got the ball first.

United's other centre back, Evans, was just in time for a dangerous tackle to get the ball out of the line.

This is also the age of Aimar, otherwise, Evans may not even touch the ball.

Benfica's attack, though not able to form a goal, is no less dangerous than Giggs's hit on the crossbar.

Gao Xiaodong is very sensitive. Earlier than Ferguson, he realized that Fletcher frequently defends the flanks and Benfica will focus on attacking in the middle. Therefore, Gao Xiaodong pays attention to the position after Fletcher leaves and reduces Benfica's space in the middle.

Gao Xiaodong's judgment is accurate, and he has also taken action. However, in Ferguson's pre match tactics, Gao Xiaodong's main task is to attack, while defense is the task of Fletcher and Carrick.

Gao Xiaodong's main energy is on the attack, and many times he can't pay attention to the defense, especially when he is robbed by others when the attack and defense are changed, so Gao Xiaodong can't go back at all.

In the 15th minute of the game, Manchester United launched an attack from the right side, and Smalling passed it to Jones on the right side. Jones went straight to Valencia in the front court. When Valencia wanted to score the ball, his opponent saw it through and the ball was broken.

Benfica counterattack, Amorim in the left side with the ball fast forward, Gao Xiaodong has been on top, has not come back, Carrick to fill the wing to intercept Amorim.

Amorim in the high-speed dribble in a change of direction, with speed over Carrick, continue to push to the bottom line.

Benfica's counterattack is very fast. After retreating, right back Phil Jones shows his impatience.

Under the pressure of Amorim step by step, Phil Jones lost patience and suddenly stepped forward to steal between Amorim's two touches.

Amorim was ready for a long time. He pulled the ball away from Phil Jones and drove straight in. He crossed the front of the penalty area before Fletcher made up.

There is a big blank in the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, and Gao Xiaodong's back defense is in place.

Gaetan catches the ball, swings and shoots.

De GEA had been ready to save, he jumped to the middle, found the ball higher than the beam, he retracted his hand, let the ball fly to the stands.

This time, Ferguson saw that there was a problem in Manchester United's midfield defense, the speed was slow, and he was unable to attack Benfica's attacker with the defender, so that the midfield defender often faced the opponent's attack directly.

The defense is passive. No matter how high the level of the defender is, he can't be directly attacked by others. Otherwise, there will be problems.

At this time, the best solution is, of course, Gao Xiaodong's retreat, but his attack power is weakened.

At the moment, the game time is just 15 minutes, and Ferguson is not willing to focus on defending. In Ferguson's mind, Benfica does not deserve to let Manchester United defend away.

From the historical record, Manchester United have 7 games against Benfica, 6 wins and 1 draw, Ferguson is qualified to set a higher goal.

Of course, Ferguson will not change at all. He gave an order to Gao Xiaodong to make up for two more wings instead of going back to the front of the penalty area to reduce the pressure of the back midfield.

Ferguson's response can not be miscalculated, but he is suitable for United to lose the ball right in the middle and front court. If United lose the ball in their own back court, Gao Xiaodong has no way.

In the 17th minute of the game, Evans got the ball from the back court and passed it back to de GEA, who passed it to Phil Jones on the right.

Phil Jones wanted to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, but his intention of passing the ball was detected and the ball was broken by Aimar!

Aimar forward left to Garcia, Garcia forbidden area back to forward Cardoso.Cardoso's goal is a shot!

De GEA flies down and pours the ball!

The first 20 minutes, Valencia wing back to Evans, the ball is a bit strong, Manchester United centre back Evans stop error, the ball flew directly in front of Cardoso.

It's an assist! Cardoso was overjoyed. He stopped the ball and shot at the goal from 23 meters away.

The ball was too unexpected. Cardoso didn't get ready. He raised his foot and hit. As a result, the goal was too straight. The ball was moved by de GEA and held in his arms.

Benfica's two attacks were both steals in the front court or launched by using Manchester United's mistakes. The forward and winger directly attacked the restricted area. Gao Xiaodong, Valencia and Giggs had no way to defend back and could only watch their opponents shoot.

The experienced Ferguson felt a little uneasy. He felt that if United didn't break Benfica's gate, they might be broken by Benfica first.

Ferguson decided to adjust the position of Gao Xiaodong, let Gao Xiaodong back between Michael Carrick and Fletcher, play in the back, set up a barrier in front of the centre back.

Ferguson made a decision, but there was no way to pass it to Gao Xiaodong. He had to wait until the time of the dead ball to tell the wingers and let the players tell Gao Xiaodong.

This is the helplessness of football coaches. They can't instill their own consciousness into their students at any time like basketball coaches.

On the field, Gaetan, who was active in the game, controlled the ball. He tried to break through Valencia on the side, but suddenly passed the ball to the front of the penalty area with a tricky outside instep!

Benfica striker Cardoso stepped forward to catch the ball, while Manchester United defender Evans kept up.

Cardoso took the ball at the same time, turned quickly, got rid of Evans's defense, and took another step to shoot furiously at the top of the arc in the penalty area!

The ball grazed the inside of the left pillar and hit the goal!

1: 0

Cardoso, who scored seven goals in eight previous games, used his own personal ability to break through the gate of Manchester United and take the lead for Benfica.
