Chapter Ninety-Two: First Defeat

Remember the legendary Dark Four Kings of Manchester United? Na does not pass, tile does not shoot, Yang can't, card is not seen. Now, Nani has moved and then transferred, Valencia has retreated and really doesn't need to shoot anymore, Ashley Young has been on the bench for many years, and this year he has moved to Brighton, but fans have learned that cards really can't be missing, whether it's a credit card, a bank card or Carrick.www.biquge.info It's a pity that this may also be the last year of his Manchester United career, after all, at the age of 36, it is rare to have half the physical strength, and this type of player is really hard to find in today's market, his successor question has been sung for several years and has not been settled, Manchester United is likely to fall into the pain of not having Carrick next year. Thankfully, Villa have Weigl and will be worry-free for at least the next ten years.

Carrick's play, there is no doubt that the happiest must be Pogba, who has a backer and is easy to do, and the big brother behind him is covered, he is more confident whether he is holding the ball or making the ball, which can make Enzongqi suffer, although Li Haolong did not design a special marking defense, and Enzongqi still stuck to him habitually. Usually some people like to criticize Pogba's brainlessness, in fact, it is only an occasional sudden short circuit, he is still very smart, learned the lesson of being harassed by Nzongzi for the first time, Pogba did not fall for it again, the ball is no longer stagnant at his feet, no longer keen on singles, whether it is Carrick in the back or Mkhitaryan next to him, Ibrahimovic in front, are all good points to the ball, that scene has to be described in one word, that is "live", Manchester United's ball is alive and running.

The resurrection of Manchester United's midfield, although there is no degree of crushing, but at least has the advantage of possession of the half, even with Mkhitaryan has begun to exert his power frequently, Li Haolong has always believed that Mkhitaryan is the most dangerous person in the Manchester United team, the ability to dribble at high speed makes it impossible for anyone to underestimate his existence, whether it is passing or shooting, he is very threatening, his data in Dortmund's last year is 11 goals and 20 assists, double ten plus characters. He is the kind of player who can destroy the opponent by himself, has a big heart, and such a player, no team can completely limit death.

At this time, the Manchester United team is like a Tai Chi master, slowly doing push-hand exercises with you, that is, the form of hand-to-hand practice routines, it just so happens that the Villa team is also a master, both of them are playing hard, and suddenly Manchester United does not play according to the routine, and plays Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, and Mkhitaryan is the punch that hits out. In a advance, Mkhitaryan suddenly picked up speed, from the only gap between Nzonzi and Amawi penetrated, Benkovic stepped forward to fill the position, Mkhitaryan crossed lightly, the responding Ibrahimovic carried Van Dijk behind his back, did not stop the ball and rubbed it directly, the ball crossed between Benkovic and Van Dijk, played a 2-by-1, Mkhitaryan cleverly followed, has come to the right side of the goal, Pickford went up to block, just blocked his line, a good Mkhitaryan, the fox-like sense of smell, do not shoot and then cross, Lukaku, who followed at the back post, leaned on the chasing Henrichs, and the force of his strength allowed him to firmly withstand Henrichs' interference, and with a light pad, the ball went into the net to give United the equaliser.

Such a simple three-person cooperation tore apart the Villa team's defense, it can not be said that the Villa team's defense is not good, football games are like this, there is no infallible defense, the top, out of position, the top defenders have also committed, the actual comparison is who makes fewer mistakes, who can catch the opponent's mistakes more, unfortunately Manchester United seized this opportunity. At this time, the time has come to 63 minutes, Li Haolong faintly feels that something is wrong, if this momentum rises, the Villa team will not be easy to do, often the ten minutes when a team raises the momentum is the most dangerous, if you go crazy, what kind of action and what fairy ball can appear, no matter what, you have to stop their momentum, under Li Haolong's signal, Petrov replaced the somewhat silent Isco with Yedinak, it is necessary to focus on Mkhitaryan, and the three backs build a defensive line to withstand these minutes, Li Haolong plans to make adjustments according to the situation.

This adjustment is undoubtedly effective, Manchester United's momentum did not rise as expected, the main counterattack Villa team surprised the Manchester United team in a cold sweat, especially Alario received Dembele's diagonal pass of a fish jump to grab the point, but also wiped out the door, the tight defense of Manchester United team consciously compressed the defense, Pogba also frequently returned to the defense.

A draw at home? Manchester United may be happy to see, the Villa team will definitely not agree, in the 72nd minute, the Villa team made another adjustment, Brandt replaced Nzunzi, and returned to the original formation, Mourinho followed up to make a change, with Lingard to replace the goal-scorer Lukaku, and finally with Dembele to replace Ibrahimovic, the intention is obvious, this is to play the defense back, the front field continued to exert pressure with Lingard's running, Dembele waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

This Lingard is Manchester United's youth product, and Pogba was a teammate of Manchester United's youth team back then, and Lingard, who is known as a new generation of dark kings by Manchester United fans, is often criticized by fans, not good at technique, not good at shooting, not good at passing, just like to run, or run around, and bring teammates to chaos. In fact, such an evaluation is biased, if fans have the impression, do you remember a Korean named Park Ji-sung? Nicknamed "Park Sanlung" can't run to death, Lingard has a little bit of his shadow, of course, the ability may not be as good as the Koreans, but Mourinho also hopes that he can play the role of Koreans, in a way, Linga is diligent and diligent, has a good attitude, runs actively, and can still play his role as a miracle soldier from the bench.

Under the pressure of Lingard, the Villa team was a little unable to react, although he also ate a card because he was too positive, it seems that he has lived up to the coach's intentions, it turns out that Mourinho often has a stroke of genius, this time it came true, and the messy Lingard didn't know where it came from, intercepted a forward pass from Benkovic, forming a 2-on-2 situation, no more belts, Lingard passed to Dembele, the top scorer in the Soviet Super League, another Dembele on the field, received the ball and turned, volleyed, clean, The ball went into the net again and Manchester United took the lead.

This goal completely disrupted Li Haolong's deployment, and there were only 8 minutes left, Li Haolong hurriedly replaced Benkovic with Enrique and played a double striker, which was a desperate bet, and the Benkovic who made a mistake was a little depressed, and was trying to find face but was replaced, very unwilling, and was a little depressed when he was replaced, and sat on the bench with his head in his arms.

Li Haolong saw that love was going to be so decadent, so he went up and patted him on the head.

"Hey, what's going on, it's not like you, isn't it just a goal? It's not about punishing you, it's about attacking us. ”

"But we could lose."

"If you lose, you lose, whoever hasn't lost in a season, you've done a great job, you see Ibrahimovic basically didn't get any chances, it's just a nightmare, forget about him, now it's just their luck."

Losing is not terrible, losing morale is the most terrible, Li Haolong appeased the players in time, but there was also a little loss in his heart, he liked to lose again, he cared more than anyone else, but in the last few minutes, it was useless, the Villa team that pressed heavily finally tasted the first defeat of the season at home, although the rational fans still gave the warmest applause to the players who thanked the game, but it was still difficult to hide the loss in their eyes.
