After Sky Sports commentator Alan Smith saw this formation, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ferguson, what's wrong with this today?" Unexpectedly, putting Cristiano on the bench, could it be that Cristiano was injured in last week's league? "

Actually, don't say Alan Smith.

Even the commentary from several other broadcasting countries was not well understood.

"Is Zenit strong?"

"Probably in Ferguson's eyes, right?"

"Oh, could it be that Zenit is stronger than Chelsea? When facing Chelsea, Ferguson will not arrange such a conservative tactical play! "

While there was a lot of commentary, the UEFA Super Cup game began.

At first, Manchester United played steadily, controlled the ball, and when the ball was lost, they began to press hard.

However, with Manchester United's defence retreating relatively farther back, Zenit could easily knock the ball back and could reorganize an effective attack.

However, when Zenit's attack reached the Manchester United half, he could not find any gaps.

Because Zenit's personal level is a certain gap with Manchester United, Zenit's attack does not pose an effective threat to Manchester United's solid defense.

And just like that, the first half of the game ended in an extremely boring process.

At halftime, after the players returned to the dressing room, Ferdinand said a little tiredly: "Can't we play more aggressively?" Kicking like this, I'm exhausted fast! "

I have to say that the player who appeared the most in the first half broadcast footage was Ferdinand, and it is no wonder that he complained so much.

"In the second half, Cristiano comes on, Carrick takes a break first, right?" Ferguson ignored the complaining Ferdinand and went straight to the line to arrange the tactics for the second half.

At this time, Carrick suddenly stood up and said, "Coach, I didn't make a mistake in the first half, why change me?"

"Execute the order, don't ask so much!" Ferguson said to Carrick mercilessly.

Carrick sat there very disappointed without saying a word, seemingly puzzled by Ferguson's arrangement.

At this time, Xie Tianhao sat next to Carrick, put his arm around Carrick's shoulder and said, "Our goal is to win this game, Coach Alex Ferguson has his own arrangements, please trust him!"

"Chairman, I know, it's just me..."

"I know you want to win games for the team, brother, take a long-term view, we don't just have to win today, we have more games to win in the future, new tactics need to be tried, and if you lose a game like today, the pressure on me and Coach Alex Ferguson is much greater than yours, isn't it?"

After listening to Xie Tianhao's words, Carrick nodded after taking a long breath and said, "Chairman, I understand!"

"Park Ji-sung, your task is to intercept the opponent, cut off the football, and then, as soon as possible, pass the football to Di Maria or Modric next to you, and hand the football to them." Ferguson didn't bother with the lost Michael Carrick, but spoke to the other players about the tactics of the second half.

After the break, the second half began.

For Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo replaced Michael Carrick and still stood on the left wing he is most familiar with.

The commentators of various countries were excited after seeing Ronaldo appear.

"Wow, is Manchester United going to change formation?"

"Huh... They are finally going to step up their offensive!

"Dear audience friends, let's wait and see!"

However, to everyone's surprise, although Cristiano Ronaldo has gone shopping, Manchester United's style of play has not changed in the slightest.

The time of the game, minute by minute, passed.

It wasn't until the 80th minute that Zenit pressed on the attack and crossed the ball from the wing to the middle.

Nemanja Vidic jumped high to push the ball out, and Modric, who was at the front of the penalty area, stopped the ball with his chest to unload the ball.

Then, Modric turned around with a light smash, he looked up and observed, without the slightest hesitation, directly showed the fans his perverted accurate long pass ability, a very coherent long pass, the ball accurately found Rooney who ran forward desperately!

Rooney unloaded the ball steadily with his back while running, and this stoppage shows how solid Rooney's strong and skilled basic skills are.

The moment Rooney unloaded the ball, Zenit's trailing centre-back also greeted him.

Rooney quickly swept the ball forward, and then it was time for the two to fight for speed.

Zenit's centre-back is clearly not as fast as Rooney's, and when he feels he can't catch up with Rooney, he's ready to make a tackle to keep Rooney.

The moment he put the tackle down, Rooney kicked the ball out first.

"Oh my God, how can he be so fast? Is he a 100-meter flyer? My God, it's so fast, fast as a bolt of lightning! At this time, Zenit fans could not help but exclaim.

"Oh no, Cristiano, when did he run to that position!"

With a shout from the Zenit centre-back, the ball was about to come to Ronaldo's feet.

In fact, at the same time that Modric was preparing for a long pass, Ronaldo was already starting at full speed.

Ronaldo's speed left the returning Zenit players far behind.

At this time, Rooney's crossball was almost at Ronaldo's feet.

If Ronaldo can successfully get the ball, there are no other defenders in front of him, only Zenit's goalkeeper.

Dangerous, dangerous, very dangerous.

This is what is really in the minds of Zenit fans who watched the game live!

Zenit's goalkeeper seemed to have sensed something was wrong early on, and while Rooney crossed, he also made a desperate attack, trying to stop the ball before Ronaldo could catch it.

Unfortunately, he was still one step slower, and while Ronaldo had the ball, Zenit's goalkeeper knew that there was an empty goal behind him, so he was ready to leave the ball at Ronaldo's feet even if he received a red card.

Swish!!!

The Zenit goalkeeper opened his arms and expanded his defensive area, followed by a super sliding tackle three meters away towards Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo's gaze has been on the flying ball, but his afterglow seems to have observed the Zenit goalkeeper's moves.

So, Ronaldo moved sideways, he did not stop the ball, but directly followed the incoming ball, rubbed the ball directly in place.

The height of the ball went exactly past Zenit's goalkeeper, and then Ronaldo ran in a different direction, past the kneeling Zenit goalkeeper, causing him to save.

At this time, the fans of Zenit gasped, they looked at the performance of their goalkeeper, and they seemed to be a little desperate!

Then, Ronaldo stopped the ball in the air with his chest, and at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, he steadily pushed the ball into Zenit's goal!

Ronaldo was very excited, ran excitedly towards the corner flag area, rushed out, and came to celebrate with a passionate skating kneel on the sidelines, leaving two deep slip marks on the turf.
