Su Dong, Impossible to Stop

"Beautiful, Rony!"

Ferguson applauded vigorously from the sidelines, shouting his praise.

For this match, he and the Manchester United players had poured in an enormous amount of effort. They had worked hard on both attack and defense, specifically studying how to defend against and freeze Su Dong.

He had practically simulated all ninety minutes of the match, focusing on how to freeze Su Dong.

The conclusion he reached was simple: they could not give him space, especially not let one man defend him alone. In a one-on-one, nobody could stop him, and even two-on-one was not completely safe. That was why Manchester United had surrounded him with three men just now.

They had also almost completely cut off all of Su Dong's passing lanes, which was what had produced that result.

It was like putting Su Dong into a pocket and trapping him there, leaving him unable to move.

To do that, they had to form the pocket around him the instant Su Dong received the ball. At the same time, they had to maintain the team's overall shape and defensive stability, which required the players to run more.

The more the players ran, the greater the physical drain. Thus, Ferguson had decided to tighten the defense, reduce the distance the players had to cover, and compress the space in which Su Dong and the Bayern players could receive the ball, maintaining the compactness of the overall defensive formation as much as possible.

As long as the team performed normally and continued playing at this pace and in this manner, Manchester United might well become the first team to successfully freeze Su Dong!

Everyone knew that once Su Dong was frozen, Bayern's attacking threat would
