Half-time, the away dressing room at Old Trafford.

Lu Ling was in the locker room, making a brief speech.

"Everybody behaved very well. Mario, you're great, and the timing is right. She gave special praise to Mario Fernández, who played a key role.

Vargas translated, but the Brazilian understood the word "good" and laughed happily.

'In the second half, we didn't go back and kept pressing them up front. Mario and Timothy (Mensah), watch out for Griezmann's move. And Zixiang, when Mkhitaryan runs to the middle, if you don't follow him, remember to remind your teammates in the middle loudly. ”

The players mentioned nodded their heads in understanding.

"We're going to ...... in the second half," she said, turning her eyes to Patrick.

****

The second half began.

The weather at Old Trafford was even more gloomy, with heavy rain and a considerable wind.

Jose may not have expected that QPR remained very aggressive in the second half of the game.

Lu Ling saw the Portuguese constantly gesturing to the defenders and telling them where to go for the ball.

But in the end, the ball was passed back to De Gea, and the Spanish goalkeeper was not a very good player at taking the ball in stride, so he kept kicking forward.

Ibrahimovic, despite his height, was often unable to move into position to catch such hurried big feet, so the ball returned to the feet of QPR again and again.

And on one occasion, Griezmann got the ball in the air under the cover of Ibrahimovic, but because the QPR's back line was almost pressed to the halfway line, he could not bring the ball out single-handedly and was directly cut off by Mario.

With 60 minutes to play, the United boss made a substitution.

He brought on Marcus Rashford for Anthony Martial.

Obviously, Antoine Griezmann's mobility alone was not enough to compensate for Ibrahimovic's slowness, and Anthony Martial felt very sluggish in this game.

After Marcus Rashford came on, the QPR began to be threatened.

However, Lu Ling has an established plan.

The players on the field of QPR began to unhurriedly fall in the backcourt.

And specifically pick the area near Ibrahimovic, the Swedes have no ability to press, and others can't take care of it.

Then, Lu Ling began to let the players on the field carry out the previous deployment.

The key to this deployment is still a defender.

John O'Connor, the Northern Ireland right-back, is not as involved in the attack as Yu Zixiang, but that doesn't mean he lacks attacking ability.

John had an outstanding attacking performance at White Hart Lane last season and was developed as a midfielder against Manchester United last season.

Now, Lu Ling asks him to press boldly like a true attacking wingback.

That's because United replaced the injured Smalling with Blind, giving the cross a chance to play.

And what is often overlooked is that John's crosses are arguably the best in the team.

She had already told everyone at half-time to do everything possible to create space on the wing for John and give him a chance to cross. Unlike many British coaches, Lu Ling understands very well that even if he plays a cross from the wing, he must first gain an advantage from the middle before he can create the best cross space.

On the field, Patrick won the ball in the middle.

He shook Witsel away, and Hoel Campbell moved in. The two technically brilliant players played a quick wall-to-wall tie before bringing the opponent's entire defensive center of gravity to the middle.

Patrick then knocked back to Ian, who quickly kicked into the huge gap on the right.

John rushed like a heavy tank, and in two steps he was near the bottom line. Then, kick in a cross.

It's looking for a front point, and the player who is on the front point is Leon.

The Uruguayan boy jumped up against the rain and swooped down in front of Blind, shaking his head and his long hair fluttering.

The ball was so close that De Gea subconsciously stretched his leg and the ball hit the post.

Near the sideline, Lu Ling couldn't help but stomp his foot. It's a shame.

Stormy. She felt a little cold. Manchester damn can wear a down jacket in September. That's right, José Mourinho is wearing a down jacket over there. And she was obviously wearing less. If it weren't for the nervous tension at the moment, she would definitely feel colder.

So there was a weird scene in the Sky Sports footage.

Kristen Lu walked back to the dugout and said something to the coaching staff, and then the assistant coach handed her a down jacket, which she put on and walked back to the sideline.

Commentator Martin Taylor seemed to be smiling from ear to ear: "Lu's move is really funny. But the weather in Manchester, oh, all I can say is that I admire the fans in the stands who are still wearing short sleeves. ”

Lu Ling didn't zip it, her mind was all on the field.

The attack was good, not much different from what she had imagined. But a few more attempts would have caused José to take special precautions.

She turned around and brought Artem Dzyuba, who had already warmed up, on to replace Vargas.

The 196-year-old Russian striker made his Premier League debut.

Jose Mourinho looked at the back of the Russian and was stunned for a moment.

In fact, among Christine's many advantages, what he admires the most is her vision. As good as Nick's eye.

At least a little, they, oh this them, including José himself.

The "physique" element is never overlooked.

– and that's especially important when it comes to competitiveness in the Premier League.

****

In the 71st minute, QPR created another good chance for a cross.

This time, it was Dzyuba who used his strong body to protect the ball in front of the penalty area, and then gave Patrik a feint, and after attracting the defense, he immediately distributed it to the right side.

John had plugged in, the cross was given, the arc and the power was very good.

The ball Dyuba jumped in the air, and Blind wanted to fight it, but it was bounced straight away, just like Dyuba hit Glenn on the training ground.

The Russians jumped up, but did not touch the ball.

Behind him, a player suddenly appeared at high speed......

None of the Manchester United players expected that it was Timothy Fosu Mensah's insertion!

This is also Lu Ling's arrangement, Mensah has a very good ability to play the ball in the air, and he has explosive power, which can ensure that he suddenly attacks the penalty area.

He partnered with Ian in midfield, and it wasn't just Ian who benefited, Mensah also got more opportunities to get involved in attack.

The Dutchman jumped high and unguarded and headed the ball towards goal!

0:2！

Mensah did not make a gesture of celebration, showing respect to his old club.

But the rest of his teammates immediately rushed up and knocked him down.

In front of the visiting dugout at Old Trafford, the young QPR manager jumped up, presumably forgetting that she was wearing a slightly tall leather shoe, so she almost ruined her image - but fortunately she just didn't stand on her feet when she landed. Behind her, all members of the coaching staff and substitutes jumped up.

After that, Manchester United went on a frantic attack, and this time Lu Ling ordered the whole line to recycle the defense.

Still, United's terrifying firepower proved when Pogba fired a terrifying shot from the edge of the box that Hans couldn't get hold of.

He tried to keep the ball out, but Ibrahimovic stretched out his long legs and didn't let the ball go off the line and hooked it back into the box.

Hans got up quickly, but Marcus Rashford in the middle had another shot on goal, and Hans could only stretch his leg to make a block, which was fast enough.

Antoine Griezmann, who followed up, made up for the ball from close range.

United pulled a goal back in the 85th minute.

The atmosphere became tense again.

The shouts of the Dream Theater shook the sky.

In the 89th minute, Manchester United organized a cross to the front, and Hans jumped high to take the ball off Ibrahimovic's head.

The German trotted forward a few steps with the ball, glanced at his teammate's position and kicked straight into the pitch.

"It was a long ball of great power from Hans Bachmeier...... Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor spoke at a rapid pace as the ball flew over Old Trafford.

Artem Dzyuba chased the long ball to the spot and prepared to take on Blind, while Patrick Amber was chasing after him.

Lu Ling shouted loudly: "Go back, Artem!"

She wanted Gyuba to return to Patrick, but she forgot that Gyuba didn't know English, and even if she did, she might not be able to hear the sound of wind and rain and shouts.

Dzyuba didn't get it to Patrick, he jumped up and caught the ball with his chest, then turned, in slow motion, but with a steady shoulder over Blind.

Another United centre-back, Eric Bailly, slipped on the turf while chasing back.

The turf at Old Trafford didn't help their own players today.

Dzyuba formed a one-on-one and faced De Gea, and the tough Russian centre-forward opened his right leg and fired a blast.

The ball flew to the near corner, hit the underside of the crossbar, and bounced into the net!!

Kuba also made her debut at the Theater of Dreams!

1:3。

Queens Park Rangers sealed the win in the storm of Manchester thanks to a goal from the Russians.

Stoppage time is coming.

In the stands at Old Trafford, there were already sporadic home fans who started to leave the stadium. With such a strong wind and rain, and the high attendance of 76,000 people at the Dream Theater, it is always a long time to walk after the whole game. What's more, it is impossible for the home team to get points in this game.

The away fan zone was jubilant as they sang songs in praise of coach Kristen Lue.

John Kraus tweeted:

[Three of QPR's new signings scored, and I'd love to know when Christine will lose to Manchester's team once.] Pep, are you ready?]

Chloe saw this quickly on her own Twitter, retweeting it and saying, "Did you say Pep and Nick would watch this game live?"

"I want to think about it...... Pep plays Arsenal tomorrow and Nick has already won 2-0 against West Brom this morning. So I'm guessing the Catalans didn't bother to pay attention, and Nick was probably on the bus back to Liverpool. ”

Chloe didn't expect John's answer to be so serious. She looked at the field while packing her bag and said, "You're so serious. By the way, John, you may not be able to see me on the pitch so easily in the future. ”

"Oh yes, I've heard that, congratulations!" John snapped at Chloe and reached out to Chloe.

"Thank you. ”

Chloe's new job is still at Sky, which is not technically a promotion, but she will be on the TV screen more than on the pitch in the future.

On the field, the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

Jose Mourinho shook hands with Kristen Lue without any expression, letting go and walking straight to the dressing room. Christine didn't have much expression on her face, but everyone knew she was in a good mood.

Chloe and John prepare to go to the post-game press conference together. Before stepping out of the stands, Chloe turned her head one last time, just in time to see Patrick hugging Christine from behind, who was walking towards the players' tunnel. She couldn't make out the expression on Christine's face, but judging by the general body language, the QPR boss didn't seem to resist.

It looked like it was just a game between the players and the coach after the win. 166 Reading Network
