At 11 p.m. on 18 September, Manchester United travelled to Watford.

Due to the thorough preparation, Manchester United dominated most of the game in this game.

However, they also had the same problem as against Hull City, which was the delay in finding the back of the net - Watford voluntarily gave up attacking and set up a bucket formation.

Now almost all opponents have studied Shen Peng thoroughly, Shen Peng's long-range shots basically do not work, and they are also very careful when defending, not giving Manchester United a chance to take free kicks, plus when defending intensively, Shen Peng can't break through, Manchester United's header attack is also very average, so Manchester United now lacks the means to break through the dense defense.

In fact, there is no good way for ordinary teams to defend intensively, even Barcelona, which is known as the "best team to break dense defense", needs a certain amount of luck to score.

Shen Peng is a little nostalgic for Mbappe now, if Mbappe is here, no matter what defense you have, the two Eiffel will attack, score two points first, and see if you can stabilize the defense.

Of course, the opposition's dense defence greatly reduced the pressure on United's defence, and De Gea even had a chance to drink a leisurely drink of water next to the goal. And judging by the way he looks, if there is a rule in football that does not allow long-range shots, then he will not hesitate to rush to the front to participate in the attack.

Until the 60th minute of the game, the score was still 0-0.

During this period, Watford also launched several quick counterattacks, but their "fastness" was still a little behind Shen Peng's speed, so they were stopped by Shen Peng's quick interception several times, and Shen Peng also took the opportunity to play two fast attacks and almost scored.

After that, Watford's players are also honest, unless there is a good opportunity, they will not attack, even if they attack, it is only the individual attack of the striker players, it is best to score, it doesn't matter if they can't score, at least their own defensive formation is still intact, and the goal will not be too threatened.

At this time, Watford manager Mazzali gradually smiled on the sidelines.

This trick really works!

Speaking of which, Mourinho is also an expert in setting up a bucket, as long as it is in the kind of game that is difficult to win, Mourinho will basically defend and fight for a draw.

Now he has a bus in front of Mourinho, and it's basically a success, so Mazzari is happy.

Mourinho was also meditating on the sidelines.

He's not thinking about how to crack the dense defense, as a coach who is good at this, he knows that breaking the dense defense requires a certain amount of luck, and it has to do with the condition of the players.

The general method of breaking the dense defense: heading, pulling, penetration, long-range shooting, only Shen Peng can carry out individual penetration in Manchester United now, but if there is no one to cooperate, it is relatively easy for the opponent to defend.

Of course, a player like Shen Peng, if he finds an opportunity, no matter how good his condition is, he also has a good chance to find a chance to score by breaking through and disrupting the opponent's defense.

So for the goal, he can only hope that the players have played on their own, and he has done what should be done.

What he is thinking now is that through these two games, other middle and lower teams in the Premier League will probably choose this defensive method when facing the current Manchester United, after all, with Shen Peng, it is already very good for them to get a draw.

In this way, then Manchester United is in a dangerous situation this season, between several strong teams in the Premier League, most of the relationship between wins and losses is not more than 64 open, so if you want to achieve good results at the end of the season, then taking points on the weak teams is an important factor in maintaining your ranking.

Just like last season, although Arsenal beat Leicester City home and away, in the end, Leicester City won the championship ahead of Arsenal by ten points, because Leicester City did not lose any points when facing other weak teams, and all the points that should be taken were taken, and they only lost to Liverpool once in the whole season, except for two losses to Arsenal.

And Arsenal, in addition to Manchester United and Chelsea, also lost to West Ham United, West Bromwich Albion, Southampton and Swansea.

Therefore, if other weak teams follow suit this season, and Manchester United does not come up with a good way to deal with it, they may only be able to compete for the top four in the future and ensure Champions League qualification next season.

Looking at a few more opponents, it goes without saying that Manchester City, under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, the pass-and-control style of play is the most advantageous weapon against the weak team, and they will take the full initiative with this suppressive style of play when facing the weak team.

Chelsea's form has improved since Antonio Conte took over this year compared to last season, with Eden Hazard, Pedro, Willian, Cesc Fabregas, Diego? Costa and other players are full of attacking power.

Liverpool have a very aggressive squad under Thomas Tuchel.

Arsenal have always been a big attacking football team and were the only team to beat Leicester City twice last season, with the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott also good at attacking.

In Tottenham's ranks, Harry? Kane was the Premier League Golden Boot last season, and Ali, Son Heung-min and others are also very attacking.

On the other hand, Manchester United, only Anthony Martial scored in double figures last season, eleven, the second highest was Wayne Rooney, eight, and the third was Mata, six. Kane is as much as one person.

Although Shen Peng, Ibrahimovic, and Pogba have been introduced this season, Pogba is a midfielder, and Ibrahimovic does not have the foot skills that he could pass several people when he was young.

Therefore, Manchester United's breakthrough responsibility falls on Shen Peng alone.

What Mourinho has to do now is to fully activate Shen Peng's attacking power, just like Shen Peng's first season at Dortmund.

But to do that, Shen Peng also needs a player who can work with him.

Mbappe is no longer realistic, since Ibrahimovic left, Mbappe has become the main center of Paris Saint-Germain, plus the other side of the boss is not short of money, they will never let Mbappe go.

Where can I find such a player?

Mourinho was thinking about it, and suddenly he remembered the boos on the field, this is away, and the boos represent something beneficial to Manchester United!

So he immediately turned his attention to the field.

I saw that at this time, Shen Peng was knocking on the left side, and after a small range of tossing and turning, he had already shook off the two Watford defenders!

However, the ball was also a little out of his control at this time, and he was running towards the ball with the opponent's No. 15 Cathcut.

At this moment, Shen Peng's speed once again gave him the upper hand, he stepped on the ball first, then sent it back, and then took a step forward, the whole person turned his body, stepped on the ball on his back heel and pulled it under his feet, and completely bypassed Cathcart!
