Chapter 160, need a chance
Li Ao went to celebrate the goal with Wilhelm and other players after his goal.
Leaving Tiot staring at his back in a daze.
Just now, I really didn't expect that Li Ao would send a through ball directly. He watched Li Ao look to the other side of the court when he caught the ball. He thought that Li Ao was going to transfer the football to the other side, but he didn't expect Li Ao actually sent a through ball, and during the whole process of passing the ball, he didn't even look ahead!
Although Tiot already knows how good Li Ao is, he was still surprised by Li Ao's performance in the game - is this okay?
Can you pass the ball so accurately without looking at the direction of the pass?!
"Seven Thirty".
The TV was constantly replaying Manchester United's goals just now, and Li Ao's pass was naturally the focus of everyone's attention, because the essence of the ball was actually in this pass.
If it weren't for Li Ao's unexpected through ball, Manchester United's desire to penetrate Newcastle United's defense would never be as simple as it is now.
Because Newcastle played a 451 iron barrel formation in this game.
No matter what team is facing such a dedicated defense, and it is still a team of this level in the middle of the Premier League, it is not easy to penetrate the defense.
It can be said that Newcastle United's defense line is slightly forward, which is their only weakness, but this weakness is actually very easy to make up for. As long as Manchester United controls the ball in the frontcourt for a while, Newcastle United's defense line will retreat.
This point before conceding the ball, Newcastle United has been doing well.
But who would have thought that Li Ao's kick was so fast and accurate?
Don't give Newcastle United's defense a chance to react at all...
The commentators lamented that although Li Ao was far away from the goal, Li Ao could still launch such a deadly attack directly.
Wilhelm's goal brought the game back to the starting point. From the point of view of the score, no one took advantage, but from the point of view of morale, Manchester United who just equalized the score is of course more expensive than Newcastle United who just conceded the goal, so In fact, Manchester United has a slight upper hand.
After the game restarted, Manchester United, which had the upper hand, returned to Newcastle United's goal and launched a fierce attack.
Despite being very unwilling, Newcastle United was pushed back to their own half by Manchester United, and they were beaten so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads.
But until the end of the first half, no one scored again, the score was one to one, and the two teams entered the intermission.
As a final match, the first half is normal, and there are forty-five minutes left in the second half, which is enough for them to decide the outcome.
Newcastle United completely shrunk back in the second half.
In the FA Cup, after 90 minutes of playing, if there is a tie, a penalty kick will be taken directly - it used to be a rematch, which was not enough because the English team had a very dense schedule, so the rules of the bag were cancelled, and changed to point kicks. ball.
Therefore, Newcastle United's defense is very active, because it only needs to support for 90 minutes, and then the game can be dragged to overtime.
So under the command of Alan Pardew. .
Newcastle's defense was basically no more than half-court, and they even built an iron wall in the area 30 meters in front of the goal.
This is no small test for Manchester United.
How to break through the opponent's dense defense that almost completely gives up the attack?
Now that Manchester United's offensive players are all marked to death, who can break the game?
Li Ao took the ball, passed it back to Carrick, and went on to meet.
Tiote was on him, and he didn't have much chance to get in front of the goal and shoot.
So we had to find another way.
At this time, Li Ao's eyes turned to Carrick.
Everyone feels that with Carrick's current ability, he will consume all his energy on defense, and it is almost impossible to make any contribution on offense.
But Li Ao doesn't see it that way. The more things that everyone thinks is impossible, the more likely it seems to him.
Thinking of this, he took advantage of the dead ball to get close to the captain, covered his mouth and said to him: "Michael! If you have a chance later, you can go forward..."
Carrick was surprised by Li Ao's statement.
"Nobody expected you to suddenly get involved in the offense, so this was an opportunity," Li Ao explained.
Carrick thought for a while, he is also an experienced player, so he naturally understood what Li Ao said.
Li Ao wants to take a risk, because for Manchester United, it is impossible for them to accept a penalty kick.
This is tantamount to leaving fate to luck.
If it can really help the team win, this risk is totally worth taking.
Carrick nodded at Li Ao: "Okay, I will choose the right time to advance.
Li Ao smiled.
The right timing is very important, after all, you have to shoulder the defensive task.
So the next task is to find the right moment, which is not only Carrick's job, but also Li Ao's job.
A few times, Carrick tried to go forward, but Li Ao didn't give him the ball, because in Li Ao's opinion, those opportunities were not particularly good and could not be used as a one-hit kill
This game is the FA Cup final, and the opponent will take it very seriously. If your attack is not successful, it may cause the opponent's vigilance.
Li Ao doesn't want to startle the enemy, he hopes to wait for an opportunity similar to that of Wilhelm with 5.4 assists in the first half.
Carrick didn't complain that Li Ao made him run in vain again and again. He believed that this young man would definitely make the right choice, and all he had to do was to be in that position after he made the right choice.
Until the 60th minute, Carrick's several advances did not attract the attention of Newcastle United players.
After all, he just ran up and didn't catch the ball. His performance like this is normal, and it is impossible to attract the attention of defensive players.
In the eyes of outsiders, every forward move by Carrick was a waste of time, only Li Ao didn't think so.
Because Carrick's first few advances proved that Newcastle United's defense really didn't pay attention to him.
Now just another right chance.
