Akibu Aoi smiled, showing his snow-white neat teeth, and said, “You are so humorous.” Since you are not willing to talk about this topic, Mr. Zhang Liang, let’s change it. Do you think Manchester United will win tomorrow’s game? ”

Akibu Aoi’s teeth gave Zhang Liang a better impression, and his words were a little more polite: “Santos Brazil League is a strong team, it seems to have won many championships. However, with me, they can’t win, I don’t like to lose! ”

Hearing this, before Akibu Aoi could continue to ask, he was squeezed aside by other reporters.

……

Santos is a league champion and is on top of most Premier League teams, plus Manchester United players have been overworked lately.

So in this Club World Cup final, except for Zhang Liang, every Manchester United player did not play much strength.

Can’t run!

So Ferguson’s plan was to play defensive counter-attack and drag the game to a penalty shootout!

Manchester United’s squad is 4-4-2 for this game.

Goalkeeper: Zhang Liang

Defenders: Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Jones, Fabio

Midfielders: Fletcher, Ji-sung Park, Valencia, Giggs

Forwards: Owen, Wayne Rooney

And Santos also uses a 4-4-2 formation,

Goalkeeper: Rafael

Defenders: Juan, Durva, De La Sena, Bruno Pérez

Central midfielders: Arroca, Adriano, Henrik

Front: Felipe Anderson

Forwards: Niemar, Andre

Just five minutes into the opening game, Manchester United had frequent dangers in the back line due to fitness problems.

Fortunately, the defenders of Manchester United have made meritorious contributions on these occasions, and before Zhang Liang could make a move, the attack was neutralized.

Although he lacks physical fitness, he is a world-class defender with a lot of experience.

In this game, Santos does not know if it is because they did not take Manchester United seriously, tactically they did not have any tricks at all.

Until now, all offense has been the players.

They made it clear that they would rely on strength to crush and eat the current Manchester United.

The champions of the Brazilian Serie A are really different, similar to Barca’s control flow play, with a small range of progressive attacks everywhere.

Ferguson took a deep look at the Santos players galloping on the pitch, and his heart was full of envy and jealousy.

These guys are in good shape.

Although several of their attacks were disrupted, Santos really controlled the pace and situation on the field.

Within ten minutes, they were estimated to be 70% possession.

Manchester United didn’t even play a decent counter-attack, and even the midfield came back to defend.

However, Ferguson is not in a hurry, the suppression of the situation has long been expected by him, and he has done his homework before the game.

Santos has scored 42 goals in his last 20 games, 34 of which came in the first half, while just eight in the second half.

On average, this means that Santos has not scored in the second half of the game for more than half of the game.

From these signs, Santos is a typical Tiger Cat-type team.

The tiger in front, the cat in the back, as long as it withstands the pressure in the early stage, the strength of Santos in the later stage will definitely drop by more than half.

So Ferguson had already formulated a tactical policy before the game, the first half was mainly defensive, except for Irving who was also placed in front to interfere with Santos’ defenders, and other forwards such as Rooney were also slightly moved back at the moment.

And now the defensive effect seems to be good, Santos’s attack, although gorgeous, does not create a lethal threat.

Of course, even if it is created, are you sure it will be effective in front of Zhang Liang?

Before Ferguson could finish thinking, Santos’ players couldn’t wait to test his idea.

Just 14 minutes into the first half, Santos finally tore apart the Manchester United defense after a series of efforts.

Santos’ middle and right wing played an unusually beautiful combination, and Feipelli quickly ran in rhythm with forward teammates Neymar and Andre after receiving a pass from his teammates.

And during the run, the three deliberately narrowed the distance, and a very small triangle lineup with a side length of no more than 3 meters appeared in front of the eyes of the Manchester United players.

Vidic and Jones were immediately unhappy, so the two quickly rushed over with the intention of interfering with the cooperation of the three.

Only this time the two did not successfully block the three’s pass as they did at the beginning, and a dazzling pass appeared back and forth between the three, relying on this perfect cooperation, Feipelli finally advanced to the vicinity of the big penalty area line, and the cross route was not blocked.

It was his favourite position, and the first few pushes were made to keep the trio from achieving their goals thanks to the efforts of the Manchester United players.

And this time he will not waste such a good opportunity.

Without hesitation, he picked a pass, and the football drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight to the front of the goal.

Neymar had already started running towards the goal when Fepeli received the ball on the last time, which is the attacking coordination that the trio usually trains countless times.

When he sees the direction of Feppelli’s feet, he can probably know where the football is falling.

Sure enough, in the pile of people in front of the penalty area, he accurately found the flying football, a pedal high jump.

Then a head hammer vigorously pushes the ball towards the goal.

The direction is right!

Nimalki looked intently in the direction the football was flying, and on the way to landing, he had already thought of a celebratory move.

Roll forward, or roll back?

Do you want to slip on your knees?

Isn’t that too exaggerated!

The other side is a big Premier League team, I’m not so excited.

And then……

Then he couldn’t get excited.

Because at this time, Zhang Liangzheng indifferently grabbed his top football in his hand.

“Oh, no…”

There was a wail in the stands, and the fans who came with Santos shouted regret, and Nimar played this ball very beautifully.

From the backfield pass to Nimar’s header, every link is very refreshing and does not drag the mud in the slightest.

And the final header shot was also very quality, Nimar pressed a few defenders of Manchester United to grab the first drop point, and the direction was also very good.

But I didn’t expect the ball to be destroyed by Manchester United’s goalkeeper.

It’s just boring!

However, regret after regret, Santos fans still cheered for their team.

Especially Nimar, who just shot and missed the goal, everyone did not skimp on their applause.

A shot was just kept by the goalkeeper, no big deal.
