Chapter 108: Atypical Double Red Society

'Let's take a look at Manchester United's starting line-up.

'The goalkeeper is David De Gea and the Spanish goalkeeper is now the most solid link in the Manchester United squad.

'On the back line, it's Evans, Carrick and Phil Jones. Zhan Jun paused and raised his voice, "The starting list we got shows that Carrick is the center back, which means that Carrick is going to play a cameo role as a center back?" ”

This is not the first time Carrick has played at centre-back, as he was the first to play as a centre-back in the days of Sir Alex Ferguson, but it was from that time that the curse of Carrick's centre-back was officially born. Not to mention the Van Gaal era, just the old lord era, in December 2009 against Fulham, Leao and Vidic were both tired, Ferguson lined up five defenders, the first is Kashen, and he is partnered in central defence by Fletcher and Derae, and Manchester United lost 0-3. On the last day of 2011, Manchester United was beaten 2:3 by Blackburn Rovers at home, and Lord Freek's 70th birthday was ruined. Jones, the right gate is Valencia. ”

'There was a game next up where Carrick formed a quartet with Nemanja Vidic, Valencia and Patrice Evra and lost 1-0. Not to mention the next games, in those three games alone, in the three games in which Carrick played as a central defender, Manchester United conceded 7 goals and lost all three games! "Of course, later Carrick played as a central defender, and Manchester United also won the game, but the back line will never be able to keep a clean sheet, and in the double red meeting with Liverpool, Van Gaal sent Carrick as a cameo central defender, which is really bold." ”

'Of course, Carrick can't be blamed alone, after all, it is difficult for a midfielder to play as a central defender, after all, not every midfielder is Mascherano or De Rossi.

"Of course, look at Paddy on the bench for Manchester United. McNair can also see Van Gaal's helplessness. Zhan Jun said that Manchester United suffered a centre-back crisis, and only 19-year-old Paddy was on the bench. McNair, twenty-year-old Taylor. Blackett's two central defenders are really miserable.

'In midfield, Manchester United lined up with Ashley Young, Wayne Rooney, Marouane Fellaini and Valencia, with Juan in front of the four midfielders. Mata. ”

"Up front, Van Gaal lined up with Robin van Persie and James. Anthony. Wilson's partner. Zhan Jun expressed his incomprehension of the starting striker partner, and the on-site director also gave the camera to the bench of Manchester United at this time, "Falcao is sitting on the bench, and Van Gaal chooses to let the Colombian Tiger stand by and send James, who has just turned 19. Anthony. Wilson, it was a bit of a surprise. ”

……

The camera gives a close-up of the referee on duty.

'Today's referee is Atkinson. "Atkinson started refereeing football at the age of 16 and began officiating in the Premier League in 2004, making his Premier League debut against Manchester City on September 18, 2004. Atkinson was one of two referees selected by the FA for the 2016 European Championships, the other being Clattenburg. Atkinson's law enforcement is characterized by relatively loose standards, so he often has some controversy and omissions, and is ridiculed by fans as the "four blind whistles", or the "magic four blinds", the other three are Jonathan Moss, Mike Dean and Clattenburg. ”

With the whistle of referee Atkinson, the focus of the 16th round of the 2014/2015 Premier League season, the first leg of the league this season, officially kicked off at Old Trafford.

The game between Manchester United and Liverpool does not need to be mobilized at all, and the performance of the two sides on the pitch has nothing to do with the current ranking of the two sides in the league, or even the strength of the two sides.

Manchester United were clearly hell-bent on winning Liverpool at their home stadium and they played as if they had won the league if they had won this game.

Liverpool is naturally unlikely to give up the victory in this game, not to mention the relationship between the two sides, if they lose to Manchester United, the league leader will basically be handed over to Chelsea.

……

The game was deadlocked from the start, with the two sides battling it out in midfield.

In this game, Klopp's original tactics for the team were to take the initiative to attack at the beginning and take the initiative into his own hands, but the strong pressure shown by Manchester United at Old Trafford forced them to temporarily switch to defense.

Of course, Liverpool have also been prepared for Manchester United's fierce attacking posture, Lucas and Henderson teamed up to stick in the middle, which made Manchester United's attack unable to advance smoothly and pose the most direct threat to Liverpool's goal.

The midfield could not organise an effective attack, so Manchester United naturally had a strategy to deal with it, and their solution was to attack with long balls.

Louis van Gaal's side were very pressuring for their opponents, defining a 'long pass' as 'a pass over 25 metres'. In fact, even in England, which is known for its long passes, it is generally accepted that long passes are a thing of the past. However, in terms of the rapid realization of offensive and defensive conversions, long passing still has its value. This season, Manchester United have the highest accuracy rate for long passes in the Premier League, second only to Wolfsburg in the top five leagues. There is really no way, for example, now, Manchester United's attack is basically a diagonal long pass to the head of Fellaini.

……

Yes, Fellaini, who was supposed to be in the middle of the midfield, has been pressed up at this time, and now Manchester United's formation is more like a three-striker lineup, in which Fellaini is a high striker in the middle, and Van Persie and teenager Wilson are separated from each other.

Manchester United's attack crossed the halfway, and there was a long pass in front of him, Fellaini is 1.94 meters tall, and he is as eye-catching as a lighthouse in the front field, looking for him with a long pass, and then he ferries the ball down, or directly controls it, anyway, the Belgian is not the kind of stupid big man who can't do it at his feet, in addition to his outstanding height, he also has good technical skills at his feet, and it is not a problem to control football at his feet.

Van Persie, on the other hand, roamed Fellaini's side, waiting for an opportunity to shoot.

Manchester United's ability to bring Marouane Fellaini up as a cameo in the centre of the game soon after the start of the game was a surprising tactic as it was always a reluctant choice for the Reds in the closing stages of the game.

……

On Liverpool's side, their attacking tactics also surprised people.

Jiang Chenxi is a center forward and a shooter in the penalty area, which is almost a recognized label for this super shooter.

However, after the game started, people noticed that Jiang Chenxi's position was not fixed in the penalty area, on the contrary, he was more likely to pull out of the penalty area and retreat to respond, while Sterling and Salah on the wings were more forward, it seemed that Jiang Chenxi was more like he was making the ball for Sterling and Salah.

This was indeed a big surprise to the spectators, fans and commentators.

In fact, in addition to those classic goals, more moments, Jiang Chenxi's shooting skills reflected in his goals can be played by many players without defense or low-intensity defense, the difference lies in his ability to handle the ball in a small space. Jiang Chenxi's foot frequency and ability to get rid of it in a small area are the top in football. Zhan Jun said, "So, I have reservations about Klopp's choice to keep Jiang Chenxi away from the penalty area now." ”

PS: First of all, the pig's head went to bed quickly, and he had to continue to rush when he got up in the morning, and it is estimated that he will be stuck on the highway all day today, I am really afraid, last time I was blocked on the highway for more than ten hours, of which there were even more than three hours to move less than three hundred meters. It's really hard to live with the few updates in the past two days.,When you get home.,Settle down.,I'll start coding words immediately.。
