Manchester United was indeed fighting desperately!
Under Ferguson's reign, Manchester United's offensive system had a fixed framework: "Combination of wing and center, sudden acceleration, fierce wing attacks, and purposeful crosses."
However, within this framework, Ferguson would make different tactical demands.
Sometimes it was pressure in the thirty-meter zone, and sometimes he would demand a high-speed, one-wave attack from the wings.
And now, Luton was enduring a continuous assault after being pressed into the thirty-meter zone!
Gao Bo rubbed his hands on the sidelines.
John looked at the head coach standing on the sidelines in front of him.
He could already tell from this action that Gao Bo was quite nervous.
Gao Bo was indeed very nervous now, and he roared from the sidelines: "Push them back!"
However, when facing such continuous pressure from the opponent, how easy was it to push them back?
Manchester United after halftime seemed to have completely transformed into a different team.
Ferguson made a substitution during the halftime break, replacing Fletcher with Welbeck!
However, Manchester United's formation did not change.
Rooney retreated to midfield, while Welbeck and Berbatov formed a two-striker partnership!
Manchester United's players were attacking desperately, frequently crossing from both sides.
Even if Luton's players headed the ball out, Manchester United still controlled the ball on the periphery.
Rooney had now become a heavy artilleryman, and Ferguson was fully utilizing Rooney's long-range shooting ability to bombard Luton's goal.
Bang!!!!
This was another long-range shot from Rooney on the periphery!
The ball hit Drinkwater, and from the sound, you could tell how powerful the shot was!
Drinkwater fell to the ground, and the ball went out of bounds from the baseline.
Kant pulled Drinkwater up.
"Are you okay? Danny?!"
There was some worry in the eyes of Luton's players.
Clearly, this wasn't the first time Rooney had shot like this!
Rooney's shot hit Drinkwater, but he didn't care.
Instead, he went straight to prepare for the corner kick.
"I'm fine," Drinkwater rubbed his chest and stood up.
Manchester United had now encountered a defense made of reinforced concrete, and their method was very simple and crude—directly smashing it with a hammer!
Ferguson looked at Luton's defense, and he even thought he was facing an Italian team.
However, from the opponent's tactics, there were also many elements of Dutch football.
Dense formation, overall movement.
Such defensive tactics worked well.
Their players were positioned very well, their awareness of mutual defense was strong, and most importantly, their defense showed excellent coordination when moving as a whole.
At least Ferguson believed that Luton's ability to defend against Manchester United in the first half was definitely not based on luck!
"Manchester United's corner kick is taken! Welbeck!!!"
The commentators were startled in the commentary box!
Welbeck and Jeffrey jumped at the same time.
Speaking of which, Jeffrey and Welbeck had played against each other many times in the U18 league, and they knew each other very well.
Welbeck didn't think Jeffrey was anything special.
He used to be able to easily crush his opponents one-on-one.
However, this time, Jeffrey had the upper hand in the confrontation between the two!
"Jeffrey!! He headed the ball away in front of Welbeck!!"
As soon as the two landed, Jeffrey rushed forward.
In fact, Luton's defense was all rushing forward as a whole, because they had to rush out immediately.
On the one hand, they immediately put pressure on the Manchester United players controlling the landing point on the periphery, and on the other hand, they also made the Manchester United players in the penalty area fall into the offside trap.
Luton's discipline had a very good effect.
As soon as they rushed out, Carrick directly made a vertical long pass, and as a result, Berbatov, who received the ball in the penalty area, was offside!
However, Manchester United's offensive quickly made a comeback!
"Rooney!! Rooney shoots from long range again!!! The ball hits a defender and bounces back!!! Carrick comes again!!!"
"The ball goes over the crossbar!!"
"Nani dribbles the ball on the wing, Evra also comes up!! Nani cuts inside!! Is he going to shoot??? No!! Pass!! Nani passes the ball to the wing!!!"
"Evra crosses to Berbatov!!!!!!!"
"Oh, a bicycle kick, but unfortunately, the power is not fully exerted, and the ball is caught by Schmeichel!"
Manchester United attacked Luton's defense again and again, like waves constantly hitting a dam.
The waves were getting bigger and bigger, and now they had become monstrous waves!
The tide rushed up the dam again, and this time Gao Bo felt that the dam was gradually loosening.
This won't do, we need to adjust!
Gao Bo stood on the sidelines, preparing to wait for a dead ball opportunity.
However, at this moment, Manchester United's continuous attack finally shattered Luton's defense!
First, Valencia broke through to the vicinity of the baseline on the wing and then made a powerful ground cross.
Valencia's cross was very interesting.
He used the shooting technique to complete the cross, so the ball speed was very fast!
Solo-Davis at the near post only had time to block it with his foot.
As for which direction the ball went, Davis couldn't control it.
The ball blocked by Solo-Davis flew outside the penalty area.
Rooney had already prepared on the periphery, and he rushed up and shot directly at the ball!
The ball slammed into Jeffrey's calf with a bang, and then flew to the left side of the small penalty area!
At this time, Berbatov didn't know when he had arrived at this point, and this point happened to be a place where Schmeichel couldn't come out.
As soon as Schmeichel was about to move over, Berbatov directly lobbed the ball up.
The ball went over Schmeichel's head.
At this time, Schmeichel's weakness of insufficient height was exposed.
The ball flew over his head and then fell into the net from the far post.
"Goal!!!!! The ball is in!! Beautiful!!!" Wright Kinsun stood up from the commentary box, "Berbatov's keen shot in the penalty area helped Manchester United open the scoring account!! In the 68th minute of the game, Manchester United took the lead!!!"
After scoring, Berbatov had an expression as if it should be so, and he didn't even have a smile.
On the other hand, the other Manchester United players were very excited.
They rushed over yelling, and under Berbatov's disgusted gaze, they patted his hairstyle, which had taken him an hour and half a bottle of hairspray to fix before the game, into a mess.
Gao Bo shook his head.
He was just about to make some defensive adjustments, and now the opponent immediately scored.
Manchester United's attack was so powerful that Luton had not had any chance to counterattack in the second half.
In the end, it was still a little late.
Gao Bo looked at the time.
It was now the 70th minute, and...
And Manchester United, who had just scored, was in high spirits.
He carefully weighed it and finally decided to wait a little longer and defend for another ten minutes!
Pressing up now would probably be exactly what the opponent wanted.
Ferguson was waiting for him to press up.
At that time, Manchester United's two fast horses on the wings would probably make Luton's goal threatened by Manchester United's counterattack at any time.
Taking advantage of Manchester United's celebration, he quickly called the players over to give instructions.
"Tell everyone to run more in the midfield and try to keep the ball in the midfield, so that they can't press us too flat!!!! We'll defend for a while longer!!" Gao Bo said, hugging Kevin Keane!
Kevin nodded and then returned to the field to pass on Gao Bo's instructions.
"Now that Luton is behind, what changes will Coach Gao Bo make?" Wright Kinsun was somewhat expectant.
"For Luton, they must attack, right?
In any case, this is a game with a trophy, and I'm afraid Gao Bo doesn't want to lose the game!" Little Redknapp said.
"But then again, Luton's defense is really very solid.
Under such an offensive from Manchester United, they can actually hold on until the 60th minute before conceding a goal.
Unfortunately, in terms of strength, Luton is ultimately weaker than Manchester United!!"
Wright Kinsun said with emotion.
At this time, Ferguson had already sat back on the coach's bench, and everyone could see the smugness on his face.
For Ferguson, the game had reached this point and there was no suspense.
What adjustments would Gao Bo make?
It was nothing more than replacing attacking players and attacking.
Manchester United was not afraid of this at all.
Adam's level was good, but now he no longer had the freshness that everyone was unfamiliar with when he first came out, and Griezmann's ability was also very good, but after observing this game, the opponent was indeed a genius, but he was only eighteen years old.
As long as Ferdinand and Vidic paid a little attention to him, could this eighteen-year-old kid still turn the world upside down?
This game is over!
Ferguson was very sure!
