58 Review of the first half (Mid-Autumn Festival plus more, send a 4000-word chapter!) )
Hull City's onslaught after the restart puzzled everyone, and when the game was about to end, shouldn't they have defended all the way to keep the score 1-0?
But no one can guess the thoughts of Hull City's Chinese manager, Hull City's high pressing again caused Manchester United a lot of headaches, fortunately the rain is getting heavier, Jose Mourinho instructed the players to open the ball and give up the ball, and then take a low defense to avoid conceding again, and wait for the halftime break, and then find a way to save the unfavorable situation in the second half.

Hull City, who snatched the ball, couldn't break down the bus defense in the final minutes against Manchester United, and soon referee Jonathan Moss blew the whistle at the end of the half, and attentive viewers will find that Manchester United's stars actually exhaled after the whistle blew, looking relieved.
When will Manchester United, the biggest club in the Premier League, feel this feeling of being glad that the game is over?
This temporary team of a large number of newcomers, not enough run-in promotion horses will bring such huge pressure to Manchester United?
At halftime, Sky Sports commentator Jack Wilkinson expressed the doubts of the melon-eating spectators who watched the game: "Hull City's starting line is different every game, and the tactics are changeable, but the team is still running in to achieve such excellent results, all of which are brought by Hull City's new coach Niu Shuai, a Chinese." ”
Sky Sports' football commentators are very good and will be fully prepared before the commentary.
Charlotte Marsh, who partnered with Wilkinson, nodded and said: "The Chinese Niu Shuai is like suddenly appearing in the football world, full of all kinds of mysteries. Aside from knowing that he has a UEFA professional coaching certificate and has never coached any team, we don't know anything about Niu Shuai. However, after he took charge of Hull City, he won a surprise opening game over defending champions Leicester City, and in the second round visited Swan Lake, the home of the Devils, and instead beat the home team by two goals despite being superficially passive. The league started with two consecutive wins, which is believed to be a surprise to many people. In charge of the team for the first time, Niu Shuai's ability has been initially affirmed, after all, Hull City's actions this summer make it hard to believe that such results will be achieved. ”
Huaxia, Yueshi Sports Live Broadcast Room.
During the halftime period, Zhan Jun, Yan Gun and others reviewed and analyzed the game in the first half.
'It was a bad day, it was cold, it rained heavily and we knew it was always difficult to play a good game on a rainy day, but Hull City gave us a good performance in the first half. In front of the powerful Manchester United, Hull City unexpectedly took the initiative to attack and caught Manchester United off guard in the opening stage with high pressing, Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho may not have thought that the weak home team would use high pressing against them, so it is obvious to see that the poorly prepared Manchester United made frequent mistakes in passing and receiving the ball at the back, and once forgot to use the way of opening a big foot to relieve the oppression of the opponent, and at the same time concede the ball, and then counterattack. Zhan Jun pointed to the TV screen while analyzing.
On the screen, not long after the opening, under the frantic pressing of the Hull City players, Marouan Fellaini's pass error was intercepted by Robin van Persie, and the Dutchman immediately shot decisively from outside the penalty area, but unfortunately it was too hasty and the ball was kicked defectively.
Then the screen turned, and Jose Mourinho angrily yelled at Fellaini on the touchline, expressing his frustration with his passing error.
Then the picture changed, and there was a scene of Hull City players creating, Yan Gun looked adoring, pointed at the screen with a laser pointer and said: "From the first game of high pressure on Leicester City, this tactic has become a regular means of Hull City, we can see that the nodes used by Hull City's high pressing tactics are very targeted, often unexpected by the opponent, making people unguardable, very Taizu guerrilla tactics back then." ”
Zhan Jun smiled: "As soon as you say that, I also found out." ”
During the Chinese Liberation War, Taizu led the Red Army to fight the enemy in Jinggang Mountain, and led the Eighth Route Army to fight against the Japanese army, creating the famous 16-character formula for guerrilla warfare: the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue.
This tactic has won many brilliant achievements, played a huge role in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the cause of liberation, and has become an important part of Taizu's military thought.
"What's even more interesting is that Hull City fielded a starting line-up in this game, which on the surface looked like a front three, but in the course of the game, we found Joel Campbell roaming on the left flank, sometimes breaking down the wings, sometimes cutting inside, and single-handedly neutralizing Valencia and Eric Bailly. Aleksandar Mitrovic, a high-school striker brought in from Newcastle, seems to be a tough face to face with the diminutive Blind, and it is clear that Blind will not be able to play against the tall and strong Serb, and if Baily goes to help defend, the area he is responsible for will become a gap for Van Persie, who is playing the forward position, and he alone will have to pay attention to Campbell and Van Persie, and he will not be able to pull out at all. Zhan Jun's analysis attracted a barrage from the people who ate melons: "Zhan Shen's analysis is reasonable!" ”
There are also people who eat melons who will ask questions: "Doesn't Manchester United have two back midfielders?" When defending, you can keep an eye on Van Persie and Mitrovic. And Hull City don't have a right winger, and Manchester United's left-back Shaw can take in to help Blind finch Mitrovic. ”
Who said that my Chinese fans don't understand football? Look, how professional this question is.
Today, when live football matches have become the norm on the Internet, the advantage of live streaming is that you can interact with the audience at any time, after this question was selected, Yan Gun replied, he first called up the picture of the left side of the penalty area when Manchester United defended, and then pointed at a Hull City player wearing No. 2 with a laser pointer and said: "Although Hull City's three forwards are actually a single center forward plus a left winger plus nine and a half, there is no right winger, but when attacking, No. 2 Thornton's running position involved Shaw, making him unable to adduct and assist Blind." ”
Then he turned the picture into a floor plan and said: "This is the map of Hull City and Manchester United when they are attacking. You can see that Luke Shaw on the left is involved by Hull City right-back Thornton, while Hull City captain Schweinsteiger wanders on the right, forming invisible pressure on Manchester United's left side, as long as Luke Shaw closes in the box, Piggy's pass will allow Thornton to cross easily on the right. Manchester United's left-sided midfielder, the world's most valuable talented midfielder, Paul Pogba, could have kept an eye on Thornton when Luke Shaw was retracted, but as soon as he went to the wing, his area was empty, and at this point, everyone could see Hull City's intention to send these three midfielders in midfield. ”
"Schweinsteiger, Flamini and Sissoko, Sissoko's position is relatively deep, judging from his performance in the first half, it is obvious that his task is to focus on the Manchester United captain Rooney who is responsible for the defense when the front players attack, Flamini and Schweinsteiger can exert huge pressure in the most dangerous area of the 14th area because of their good forward ability, plus Van Persie, Pogba and Fellaini are two people who are active in the 14th area to face the strong attack of the three, where is there still room to be distracted to take care of the wing? So when attacking, Thornton will turn into a right winger to keep Luke Shaw down the flank. That's why Hull City's front three are oddly positioned to neutralise United's left flank without a right winger. ”
"Once the attack is lost and the ball is conceded up front, the two midfielders and Robin van Persie can immediately press and counter-attack in the front court, destroying the quick counter-attack that Manchester United play after getting the ball."
"One of the spectators said, why did Thornton press so high in attack, not afraid of being caught by Manchester United's left winger Anthony Martial? This question is answered by Mr. Zhan. ”
"If you look at this floor plan again, you will see that when Hull City attacked, except for Wayne Rooney who could return to the midfield to help defend, neither Mata, Ibrahimovic nor Anthony Martial could help Manchester United's defense, because they basically had little defensive ability. So one of Hull's three defenders is enough to keep an eye on one. No. 3 Robertson stared at Mata, No. 6 Davies stared at Ibrahimovic, and No. 5 Zhu Zeming stared at Anthony Martial, judging from the performance in the first half, his body and speed were completely able to see Martial to death. may be precisely because of his trust in Zhu Zeming, so Niu Shuai arranged for Thornton to be a right winger when attacking, without worrying about being penetrated by Anthony Martial behind him. ”
Speaking of which, Zhan Jun and Yan Gun glanced at each other, and said almost in unison: "No wonder Hull City dared to play against Manchester United, it turned out to seize the weakness of Manchester United's starting lineup!" ”
……
"Manchester United's weakness?" Paul Scholes frowned slightly as he looked at his mentor, Sir Alex Ferguson.
After Jiang Tou retired, he joined Sky Sports and other media as a commentator, and he was able to continue to work in the football he liked.
It's just that after his retirement and Ferguson's retirement at the same time, Manchester United's results plummeted, not to mention the championship for more than three years, and failed to reach the Champions League in two seasons.
This season, with the introduction of champion coach Jose Mourinho and the burning of more than 150 million pounds to bring in strong reinforcements, from the beginning of the Community Shield to the start of the league two consecutive wins, it seems to see the resurgence of the once invincible Red Devils.
However, there are serious hidden dangers in Manchester United's backline, not to mention the heavy purchase of Eric Bailly from the submarine this season, if Manchester United cannot win the title this season, they may regret why they did not buy another Bailly in the summer.
Manchester United have a centre-back crisis?
Yes, despite the fact that Manchester United have a large number of central defenders, in addition to Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling and Daley Blind, who have played this season, versatile Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Fosu Mensah have not played a game, and the first two have glass attributes and spend more time in hospital beds than playing football. The latter is only 18 years old, and the Portuguese have never liked to use young children who have just come of age, so Manchester United only have three regular centre-backs.
"This Dutchman, who originally played at the back, but went to play as a central defender, is the biggest hidden danger in Manchester United's defense." Ferguson shook his head and said: "The technical and tactical style of the Premier League and the emphasis on physical confrontation are destined to be difficult for short central defenders to survive in the Premier League, not to mention that Blind is originally playing at the back, once he plays central defender and encounters a strong center forward, it will become a point for the opponent to strike." ”
Scholes nodded in agreement, saying that United's goal was broken by Hull City's high striker Alexander Mitrovic, and several of Tigers' dangerous shots came from Blind's defensive area.
"It's good that we only conceded a goal, and as long as we make adjustments in the second half, we can still recover it. Mourinho has always been Mourinho and he will change soon. Ferguson patted the water droplets on his clothes, and the rain was getting lighter.
Scholes said: 'Hull City were successful in the first half, will they continue in the second half? ”
A mysterious smile appeared on Ferguson's lips: "No, unless Hull City wants to lose." ”
He looked at the Hull City coach's box and said to himself: "Niu, your tactics are very targeted, and you completely restrained Jose in the first half, but unfortunately you were unlucky, you only scored one goal and failed to kill the game." Jose will make a substitution in the second half and you'll have to endure a strong attack from Manchester United. It's a pity, the group of people you integrated are doing well, but time is your worst enemy. ”
Time is my biggest enemy, if Lao Tzu completes the transfer very early, completes the training task throughout the summer and runs in the lineup, the slogan of the league championship Lao Tzu will also shout!
Sighing from the bottom of his heart, Niu Shuai clapped his hands and said to the main players who were gasping for breath and receiving massage at the same time: "In the first half, everyone performed very well and executed the tactical task perfectly. Although we only scored one goal, we were led by the mighty Manchester United, what does it mean? ”
"It shows that we are no worse than the giants!" Mitrovic said confidently, holding his head high.
"Hahaha......" The teammates laughed, not in teasing, but in encouraging joy.
They never dreamed of playing against the mighty Manchester United, suppressing the opponent with attack, and still gaining the upper hand, especially the team with a 1-0 lead over the madman Mourinho, which is the dream result of many small teams!
"Mitro is right, the opponent is strong, but you are also strong, and the score says it all." Niu Shuai smiled slightly: "But the game is ninety minutes, and there is still the second half." ”
The Hull City players immediately looked at Niu Shuai intently, the ability of the Chinese people has conquered them, at this moment, Niu Shuai is the king of tigers.
"In the second half, Robin, Campbell, you change down and rest, cheer for your teammates, everyone has the spirit of 12 points, you must keep this goal and win three points!"
