Manchester United's lineup did not bring too much pressure to Gao Shunyao, and the opposing coach made Gao Shunyao feel quite relieved. However, his thinking changed a little as the game progressed. When the game started, Gao Shunyao realized that although Manchester United had been scolded for worthlessness recently, they were not completely without merit when it came to the game.

Maybe it's because Old Trafford is indeed the Theatre of Dreams, and the Wolfsburg players who are playing in this stadium for the first time are somewhat excited. Once the game started, they didn't get into the groove right away and played a little loosely. However, while they were still playing loosely, United had already opened up the rhythm of attack. Their attacks came so quickly that they could even be caught off guard.

Not long after the start of the game, United were given a very surprising chance. On the pitch, after Shaheen picked up the ball, Cleverley suddenly lunged at him and tried to break the ball. Shahin, who was rushed, did not choose to pass forward too riskily, but passed back with one foot, wanting to give the ball to Gustavo behind him, but, in front of Gustavo, Welbeck also covered together at this time, Shahin's pass was broken by a well-trained front-court counter-attack by Manchester United.

Neither Welbeck nor Cleverley are particularly good players, and with their quality, if they don't play in the big clubs, I am afraid that there will not be many people who pay attention to them. But on the pitch, they played pretty well. Being willing to counter-attack and be willing to defend on the front court is great for a player up front.

Wolfsburg still miscalculated Manchester United: in general. If a team starts to decline from the giants, it becomes the same thing as it used to be. Then the first part that is reflected is often the attitude of the players on the field. When a team's good players start to become less willing to scramble. Then this team has basically come to an end. At Wolfsburg, Manchester United have been accused of failing to do so. Then the biggest problem is that the players are getting lazy. But as soon as the two sides fought, Wolfsburg immediately saw that it didn't seem to be the case.

Compared with the promenade attitude of many of the team's frontcourt players, at least the players with full faces did not relax their game rhythm because they were giants. In terms of forcing the siege, they still did a very good job, even enough to make Wolfsburg suffer.

And, after getting the ball. They handled it very well. Welbeck immediately launched an attack with the ball. His speed is not bad, and after getting the ball, it can also be said that he killed Wolfsburg by surprise. He raced past Wolfsburg's midfield at breakneck speed before slotting in a cross that headed for Robin van Persie in the middle.

His style of play is a bit too simplistic, and the attack is enough to make people sigh: the Premier League players have always been lamented by the lack of tactical standards, which can be said to be a classic example: although the counter-attack does require speed, but the head is covered and then a cross. This is definitely the stupidest counterattack.

For a team with a high level of tactics, it is really a good way to pass several people to each other during the counterattack and counterattack in the form of collective advancement. And for players with good technical ability, they go straight into the opponent's penalty area. That's called a real counterattack. Even if Wolfsburg is not a giant, the counterattack they use is a combination of wingers and fullbacks on the side. One center pulls to the ribs, and the other is a penalty area to grab points. A simple bottom cross, this trick is really embarrassing.

But no matter how you kick. It works, it works. It's easy to play like this, but with a top scorer like Robin van Persie, Manchester United can be very threatening.

In the middle of the pitch, Van Persie also suddenly accelerated when he passed. The Dutchman is United's biggest player up front, and he is indeed the strongest. When it comes to the ability to shoot from the spot, his standard is quite high, and he dodged Naldo's mark with just one step back, and then a diving header went straight to the door of Wolfsburg.

The clean and neat handling made the Wolfsburg players see a cold sweat. Fortunately, Benaglio was not too embarrassed, he bounced up quickly in front of the goal, palmed it up, and sent the ball over the crossbar. But even so, seeing that Manchester United, which was already considered a lot weaker, was able to play such a threatening attack, the hearts of the Wolfsburg players were still a lot more nervous.

In any case, the team in front of you is still a giant team. Rotten ships also have three pounds of nails, and against such an opponent, any carelessness of the enemy is unacceptable. Even if they no longer have Ferguson, as giants, they still leave a lot of marks of the Ferguson era. The aggressive scrambling of the players, the swiftness of the counter-attacks and the top-notch stars who are the main attacking points, combined with the home game, make it not easy for Wolfsburg to face a bone that can be easily gnawed.

I thought it was an easy guy to deal with, but Moyes's team seems to have two hits. Realized this. At the beginning, some of the proud emotions of Wolfsburg can be said to be swept away at this time. The opponent is not as weak as they think, so let them know that they should pay more attention to their opponent.

Perhaps because of Manchester United's attack, the Wolfsburg players have also quickly entered the state. They played a little more conservatively and dropped back a little bit on the pitch, but on the whole, they were more serious and more detailed.

At the back, the Wolves players stepped up their pressing, and the midfielders no longer rushed to pass the ball after getting the ball, but began to look for a safe combination. On the front court, Gao Shunyao was running on the pitch at this time, thinking in his heart, since Manchester United is not as bad as the legend, what is their problem?

The opponent's attack just now was good, but it didn't make Gao Shunyao lose his courage in fear. Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that Manchester United has just been beaten 4-1 by Manchester City, and Gao Shunyao does not feel that he must be worse than them. There must be something wrong with them, and this is what Gao Shunyao began to think about on the court.

And perhaps fortunately, with the tactical adjustment of Wolfsburg, some of Manchester United's countermeasures have also fallen into his eyes. Looking at the way the Manchester United players played, he also began to understand a little.

After being threatened by an attack by the opponent, Wolfsburg, who realized that the opponent was a giant after all, began to shrink a little on the court. What is surprising is that at this moment, the Manchester United team did not cover the pursuit in time, but fixed near their own half of the field and did not advance in time. The Manchester United players did a good job of counter-attacking, but it seems that they stopped there. They don't seem to be able to pursue bigger wins, and after taking the advantage, they are still trying to defend well.

This kind of play is not the way a giant should have. Looking at the other party's somewhat ugly contraction, Gao Shunyao also understood what the problem was: Manchester United's team, what it seems to have lost now is not their ability, but the courage to pursue victory.

In fact, to put it mildly, Manchester United were not already known for their defensive toughness in midfield at the end of the Ferguson era. But at that time, although Manchester United's midfield defense was not strong, it encountered a strong team, but it never showed such weakness. Ferguson likes to replace part of the defensive need with attack, finding a balance between attack and defence, although his team is not strong defensively, but relying on attacking threats to make opponents dare not come forward, this is his football strategy.

But Moyes is different from him, he comes from a small team, he seems to be more afraid to lose, more pursuit of safety, and too much pursuit of safety, naturally his team will not have the ability to attack, which is his biggest problem.

Of course, if he can organise a good enough attack while pursuing safety, then United may indeed be the better team. But now Manchester United, another major problem, is that their offense does not seem to be too good.

Welbeck's cross from that attack seemed to be a reflection of United's entire game. Their attack has not been very good, and it seems that wide crosses are their greatest strength. It seems that the players of Manchester United feel that they have Van Persie anyway, and let him get the ball is considered to have completed the task, and they have no idea about other offensive routines.

But this kind of play can be said to be too easy to defend. After missing someone once, Naldo can be regarded as a good learner, and he also began to stalk Van Persie. On the pitch, it is not so easy for Van Persie to run out of empty spaces again, and the Wolfsburg players are constantly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with him, which is enough for a point-grabbing striker to give him a headache.

Gao Shunyao himself knows this very well, and he was also troubled for a long time some time ago. However, Gao Shunyao has his own teammates to help him, but Van Persie does not seem to be so lucky. United don't seem to have much of a strategy to help him share the pressure, and he's a bit lonely up front.

Of course, perhaps Gao Shunyao made this judgment a little too hastyly. After all, Rooney didn't play in this game, maybe Rooney played, and Manchester United could play differently. But since he didn't see that situation, he didn't think about it too much, and according to what he saw, Manchester United's attack seemed to be really bad.

Moreover, seeing him playing on the field, Gao Shunyao is even a little worried: Van Persie is also an old injury number, and he was also a frequent visitor to the hospital bed when he was at Arsenal, he seems to have not been injured much last year, and this year, he is so desperately pressed in front of him like an animal on the front court, can his body hold up?

If he can't hold on anymore and gets injured, then I'm afraid Moyes's situation will be even more difficult...... Looking at him playing, Gao Shunyao also understands better why Moyes is considered to be really unqualified.

One forced attack doesn't mean anything, and United are still a problematic Manchester United. After no longer believing in the media's evaluation that Manchester United is useless, and began to find the problems of Manchester United, Gao Shunyao began to believe in his heart that he would definitely win this game.
