Chapter 116 One + One > Two
The ball flew out of the baseline.
Dong Fangzhuo's active running and grabbing points have reached the extreme, but his teammates are only a small step away from scoring.
Luck doesn't seem to be on Manchester United's side, and Rooney doesn't seem to be wearing shooting boots today.
The annoyed Rooney kept shaking his head, obviously very dissatisfied with his performance just now.
He scored a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in the first leg, but this time it always felt like a step away from scoring.
But Rooney still gave a thumbs up, because the cooperation between Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo just now was really beautiful, but he didn't catch up with the ball in the end...
All Rooney lacked was a goal, a little bit of luck.
The Fenerbahçe fans in the stands were obviously very satisfied with Rooney's performance, and immediately booed him the loudest when he tipped his head.
As long as Rooney continues to perform like this, they don't mind continuing to be booed like this.
Manchester United continued to keep the pressure on Fenerbahce in the frontcourt. The two midfielders, Fletcher and Kleberson, are enough to ensure that Manchester United will not be at a disadvantage in possession of the ball, but because the offensive end lacks Giggs on the left, Scholes can only rely on Scholes to organize the distribution.
In fact, Scholes feels a bit like an attacking midfielder.
Ferguson's Manchester United is actually not very adapted to the attacking midfielder's style of play. Veron, who was bought from Lazio before, is a clear proof.
Veron never played at Manchester United at the world-class attacking midfielder level at Lazio, and then Ferguson gave up.
Ferguson himself admitted that he can't use the attacking midfielder well. Although Scholes is like him now, Ronaldo on the right is more important.
It was because of Ronaldo that Ferguson decided to change.
Now the effect is not as good as in training, and more running is needed.
Fenerbahce restricted Rooney to death. There were few opportunities, and even Rooney missed them.
This game is not like playing against Southampton, where several players can form a good interaction.
Especially between Rooney and Ronaldo, it is obviously much less than the previous game.
After all, there is still a lack of tacit understanding in cooperation. In many cases, the two people have different ideas and different positions, so the cooperation cannot be achieved.
Thanks to Dong Fangzhuo's cleverness, even if he is on the other side of the court, he can still connect with Ronaldo.
This shows that the cooperation between Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo is far better than that between Rooney and Ronaldo.
It's not that Ferguson is unaware of this point. If he switches the positions of Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney, the effect may be better.
Why not change now, in fact, the reason is very simple, he just prefers Rooney in the middle. Because he believes that the reason why Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo can play such a tacit cooperation is because the two people often train together, and the tacit understanding is naturally high.
Although the early effect of Rooney and Ronaldo is not good enough, but with the accumulation of cooperation time, the degree of tacit understanding will definitely become higher and higher.
But now that the situation cannot be opened, Ferguson can only start Plan B. He was stubborn but not stupid, and Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo began to exchange positions frequently.
Ferguson naturally couldn't think of another point, that is, not only did Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo often train together, Dong Fangzhuo also had more than ten years of experience in Ronaldo.
Dong Fangzhuo is very clear about Ronaldo's passing habits, his running position, and even his shooting timing.
So when Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney switched positions, the scene changed again.
Ronaldo is still the same Ronaldo. After he made two one-two cooperation with Fletcher and Scholes in the midfield, he still came to Fenerbahce's big penalty area.
Dong Fangzhuo is still the same Dong Fangzhuo, but he came from the left to the middle and right.
But after these two people stood on the same side, the effect was different from before.
When Ronaldo dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area,
Dong Fangzhuo often appeared beside him at the first time, and appeared in the most suitable position.
For example, when Rooney was there before, Ronaldo always looked up to observe before passing the ball, but now Ronaldo is just about to make a move, and when he is about to pass the ball, Dong Fangzhuo has already run in place...
Every time Ronaldo had to pass the ball when he was blocked from breaking through, Dong Fangzhuo was always the guy standing near him.
After Dong Fangzhuo ran to his side, he had already got two consecutive shots at the front of the penalty area.
But two shots, one from an angle that wasn't good enough and was saved by the goalkeeper, and the other was blocked by a defender.
well,
Dong Fangzhuo was also very upset.
If the ball can't go in, it means that your long-range shooting ability is not good enough, and your shooting power is not good enough.
Otherwise, like those real heavy gunners in the Premier League, such an opportunity can also send the ball into the goal.
He believes that if the angle and strength he pursued just now are better, the chances of scoring will be greater.
The job of long-range shooting is not to say that you can practice it if you want to. Otherwise, everyone in the world is a long-range shooting expert, and some people can't do it in their entire life.
It's not realistic.
But Dong Fangzhuo is different, he is not Inzaghi's type of striker, or he doesn't just want to be his type.
The shooting power is there, and the shooting accuracy is not bad. He is consciously improving his ability in this area.
The quality of these two shots is not bad. In fact, the Manchester United fans in front of the TV camera have already screamed to a climax...
It's just not enough for Dong Fangzhuo.
Another point is that the goalkeeper performed too well. As the so-called goalkeeper of a weak team, the more heroic the Fenerbahçe goalkeeper performed, the more it shows that the Manchester United players' shooting quality is high.
Although still did not score, but Ferguson felt a little relieved.
At least he came up with a new point of view - Rooney and Ronaldo, maybe 1+1=2, this effect is already very good.
But Dong Fangzhuo plus Ronaldo, the effect is obviously 1+1>2.
Whether it's on the training ground or in a game, the result is the same.
No matter how stubborn he is, he has to accept this fact.
Or would it not be better to integrate these three people into a whole in the future to create an effect of 1+1+1>3?
Just to transform Rooney into a winger? Fix Dong Fangzhuo at the center position?
Oh, this is so ridiculous, this is completely out of my original idea...
When he shook his head in his heart, Dong Fangzhuo once again cooperated with Ronaldo in front of the penalty area, but this time it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn to kick the ball with his heel to Ronaldo to complete the shot.
Ronaldo's shot still didn't blast Fenerbahce's goal, but it tickled Ferguson's heart again...
Damn it, is it necessary to use dynamite to blow up Fenerbahce's goal today?
Boom——
No,
Maybe a cannon can too...
