Wembley final (2 / 3) Comes the second part of the analysis of the stadium. There will be a third and yet another article in relation to the final. The analysis is not to lose detail, the author returns to
Morén of EUMD.
As we saw in the last article before the final, Ferguson has a greater range of options to surprise the opponent with his approach, rather than more players "working"-also-because of its unique tactical flexibility that allows different modules have tactical not be weakened equipment automations. This ability to remain competitive regardless of the disposition on the field, will be very valuable to the British in the final, because in theory, should approach from the inferiority compared to FC Barcelona.
So, for example, it is normal to see Park on the left wing to work defensively on Dani Alves, and not a Ryan Giggs would be overwhelmed by the Brazilian side or Rooney too sacrificed in defense to the importance of his offensive production if United wants to have any chance of success. Thus, as have all the rivals who have fought to Barca, the left winger is more concerned to defend Alves, a key figure in Barca's game both in giving scope to attack and create numerical superiority in the center of field, which to attack.
is true that Alves is a lateral neglect rises in his back, but his offensive contribution is of such magnitude that no manager can afford to release attach to your back to the end. However, fighting against Madrid have opened a possibility. In the Cup final Ronaldo, from position 9, punished the back side to open the center and enable the second line and that greatly penalized Barca during the first half. In the first leg of Champions, then, Guardiola was forced to anchor Alves and prevent their usual joys offensive in order to handle these situations. Yet it happened, then that Di Maria, forced to defend then was invited to attack, as well as Di Maria Alves best attacking defenders, was the player who took advantage merengue pairing. On the day that Alves was more conservative, more problems generated by the Madrid side.
The United no longer has Cristiano Ronaldo, but if Rooney does not feel Chicharito, so this kind of movement, more suited to exploit the space generated by the collapse of the central band, to create it. As discussed in the first article, the Mexican is one of the smartest front in his movements, always marked by an enormous speed and aggressiveness. always requires, therefore, a correct reading of the situation by the defender must not only read the movement itself, but its subsequent consequences. For this reason, the possible alignment of Mascherano and may be a central weakness in the approach of Guardiola. The Argentine has some defensive fundamentals both technical and tactical spectacular, being, for example, probably the best in the world by jumping to the ground but midfielder and not central. not feel the river and its peculiarities, does not think like a plant. Therefore, before a striker who requires much intellectual work to decipher their movements Chicharito, Argentina may have trouble in a position which until now has given up note.
Guardiola
The alternative would be to place alongside Puyol Piqué, which greatly depend on both the physical state of the master and Abidal. Both come with questions about his condition, and that the unknown can be technical. Ideally in such cases is played with a player align start. Imagine a Puyol entering the second half, falling to his knee problems and forcing the technician to spend a second change to give input or Fontàs Milito, Abidal or prepared for 60 minutes at the prospect of a possible extension clearly leaves the grounds. The peculiarity of this case is that two men wearing and Guardiola has only one replacement guarantees, Mascherano. It is possible, therefore, that chooses to make 90 minutes of Argentina rotate waiting to played on the left side. Exclusively from the grease of view football, ideal for the club is a + Puyol Abidal, but the situation is special.
The other alternative is to have Guardiola Busquets sacrifice to get ahead of Mascherano, more after the bulbs are on the squad after what happened once the semifinal against Madrid. It is a remote possibility, but will win options if Guardiola Ferguson thinks Rooney will opt for free in the presence of Chicharito tip.
Because, despite the advantages that Mexico can offer your team in the final addition to their exacerbated eye for goal-Chicharito presence is not far from certain. Ferguson has assured more than once that the key to the final defeat of Rome was the inferiority in midfield. In 2009, Ferguson fielded a sort of 1-4-2-3-1 with a double pivot made by Anderson and Carrick and a line of three ahead with Park in right flank and midfielder Giggs and Rooney and Ronaldo alternating the left and the tip of attack. Thus, taking into account that in the end that the club was without Dani Alves letter by the absence through suspension of Brazil, there is a strong likelihood that the United go out with a 1-4-5-1 to counteract circuit are Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and Alves. In this case, it is normal that the sacrifice was Chicharito and instead enter a player in the team work in midfield and Anderson.
is true that at times this season, Giggs has also addressed this demarcation of interior, but with the pace of the ball of Barça and FC Barcelona possession foreseeable scenario, it is difficult the Welsh, there is no more a problem than a solution for United. If Ferguson wants to make room for Giggs, the most logical thing would be sited on a 1-4-1-1 playmaker behind Rooney, but that would mean losing the ideal of English crack and providing Chicharito. Another way, surprising but could be interesting, would place it in the right wing to leg changed ... but this, along with other considerations on end, we will focus in part three of the previous.
