The game between the two sides continued, and although the game began to get a little dull due to the contraction of Wolfsburg, the dull game did not mean that both sides gave up on the pursuit of victory. On the pitch, Manchester United and Wolfsburg are both looking for opportunities to give each other a head-on attack.

However, just as Gao Shunyao saw that Manchester United's attack was very problematic, the other players on Wolfsburg's side also saw the problem. Manchester United's attacking routine is too one-dimensional, which makes their defense quickly find a way.

Manchester United, after winning the ball once, quickly launched another quick attack, this time Valencia took the ball and quickly cut in along the wing. As one of United's main wide players, he is arguably United's most trusted player on the counter-attack.

However, seeing his advance, Rodriguez immediately posted it with great confidence - if it was another wing, he might be worried that the opponent would suddenly change direction, but in the face of Valencia, Rodriguez was not worried that he would do so. Manchester United's attacking tactics are already quite advocating crossing, and Valencia is a player who likes to hold on to the wings, and it is really easy to defend such players.

The more singular the player's skills, the easier it is to be targeted. Without enough tactical support, even David Beckham will struggle to perform well, let alone Valencia.

Rodriguez's anticipation was not wrong. Valencia really didn't have the idea of cutting inside at all, as a player who likes to hold on to the wings, when he faced danger, he only thought about getting rid of the long pass. Pressed by Rodriguez. He can only blindly accelerate, trying to get rid of Rodriguez. His train of thought is good. Whether it's tactics or not, he can't think of any other way.

But. As a defender who has recently made a name for himself, although Rodriguez is not considered a top player in the world, he is more than enough to defend an attacker who can only make one move, and his pressing is not relaxed, almost always in front of Valencia, preventing him from possible kicks, so that Valencia has no chance at all. Two people, you chase me, go straight to the bottom line, all the way. Valencia also didn't find a chance.

Seeing that there was no chance if they didn't pass the ball again, Valencia could only choose to rush to the ground. Right in front of Rodriguez, he made a sharp stop, then suddenly burst into a cross and kicked the ball into the box. The ball grazed Rodriguez's foot and flew unintercepted.

However, such a cross itself is naturally not very accurate. Even if Valencia's basic skills are excellent, there is no such thing as a hasty cross that the football flies off the field, but such a pass. Naturally, the landing point is not very good, and Van Persie wants to grab a point in the middle, which is also doubly difficult.

At this time, Van Persie also ran towards the landing point. However, before and after him, Naldo and Kjaer also rushed over. Unlike his skillful getaway just now, after Wolfsburg was more serious. They kept a lot of grips on him, and the ball wasn't so good at landing. The two of them were also able to keep an eye on Van Persie in time. And when the football falls, the three of them have a chance to jump together. The two defenders caught Van Persie in the middle, scrambling for headers.

Both Kjaer and Naldo are physically strong players. Although they are not particularly good defenders, they are always better than the old ill Robin van Persie. Van Persie was wrapped in front and back by them, let alone headers, and he couldn't even do it if he wanted to exert power in the air. As soon as he jumped into the air, he collided with Kjaer, almost making him lose his balance in the air.

It is difficult for any striker to get the ball up against an unfavourable situation, and Van Persie is naturally the same. He was hit by Kjaer in the air, he didn't grab the header at all, and the football was hit by Naldo all at once, directly out of the penalty area, and fell towards Rong in front.

One of United's attacks, just like that, failed.

Another unsuccessful offensive. Van Persie could only sigh fiercely when he saw that he was unable to compete for the opportunity again. Playing under such a confrontation is really not the way he likes to play, such a way of playing, his technical advantage is completely useless, and he is not a strong body but has to fight against the opponent again and again, which is completely based on his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, and he can't adapt to it at all.

However, this is the tactic arranged by the coach, and he has nothing to do. He can only sigh that in this game, Rooney was injured at an inopportune time.

Moyes's Manchester United, offensive tactics come and go just a few times, either relying on Ryan Giggs or Rooney to channel the attack. Unfortunately, Giggs is too old for him to guarantee that he will perform well in every game. It's more common for him to play one game and two games off, and it's not surprising that the years are unforgiving.

And Rooney is not really a top technical player, but at least among the English players, he is still quite good, and in the frontcourt, he can cooperate with Van Persie to create some opportunities. It's a pity that Rooney's body has a lot of injuries, and this time, he just encountered an injury.

No Giggs, no Rooney. Naturally, United's attack has languished. They all count on Welbeck and Valencia to create chances, not to mention Van Persie, even Van Basten, I am afraid that they will not play well.

Van Persie complained a little in his heart, if Ferguson was there, Manchester United would definitely not play like this. Compared to Moyes, Ferguson is not so conservative, he will not ask his team to shrink so hard, only two or three people attack. If he is in charge, Manchester United's attack will definitely not be so embarrassing.

Although Ferguson can't play Van Persie's favorite pass cut, although Ferguson also attaches great importance to the wing, but Ferguson's control of the rhythm and the reasonable use of the width of the wing are enough to leave enough time and space for the middle players to insert back to grab points.

Sadly, Ferguson has retired, and it's Moyes' time.

David Moyes doesn't play like that, he thinks differently than Alex Ferguson. Unlike the giants, Moyes, who has become accustomed to coaching small teams, obviously prefers to seek safety first, try to ensure that he does not lose and then think about victory. Because of this, he likes to pile up players at the back rather than work on the front pitch, after all, if it's Everton, sometimes a point can be considered a victory.

But this is not Everton, this is Manchester United.

"Manchester United's tactics are a bit too dull. There are too few players in the front court, and there are too many people in the backfield, so if they continue to play like this, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to win. ”

Even the commentators on the British side couldn't help but complain about Manchester United's style of play. Although the latter part of Ferguson's tenure at Manchester United was not particularly beautiful, his team was at least not so ugly as to be that kind anyway. Near the midline of the frontcourt defense, the offense can't be played at all, and it is impossible to win for a long time like this.

Of course, on the bright side, Manchester United's attack is not good, but they also don't give Wolfsburg many attacking opportunities. Moyes's tactical concept of comprehensive contraction made his attack impossible, and at the same time, he basically blocked all the attacks of Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg tried to launch a counterattack several times, but in the face of Manchester United, who had six or seven men piled up at the back, their counterattacks were also in vain.

After Manchester United's offensive defeat, Wolfsburg's attack is enough to say it all. When Yung got the ball at the back, he immediately handed the ball to Shaheen in the middle. After Shaheen got the ball, he pressed up from the middle with the ball. Fellaini rushed up immediately to stop Shaheen from attacking, but Shaheen immediately shifted and gave the ball to Gustavo. Gustavo quickly sent the ball to Rodriguez, and on the wing, Wolfsburg immediately launched a fast attack, and their attack was not bad at all.

But this attack was immediately stopped. When Rodriguez tried to attack, he found that Rafael and Smalling were already in his way. Whether he wants to cut inside or hold on to the wing, he will be in big trouble, and the connection between him and Perisic is even more locked. There was no possibility for his own attack, and in desperation, he could only pass back with one kick, trying to hand the ball to Shahin, but when the football came out, he realized that he didn't know what was going on, Carrick had stood on the passing line and easily blocked his pass.

Manchester United's defense at the back is as tight as a whole. Compared to their frontcourt offense, their backcourt defense is at least quite a headache.

Perhaps this is the only piece of good news for Manchester United. Compared to before, at least Moyes has done a good job in the team's defense. The coach already had a good set of defensive tactics when he was at Everton, and now at Manchester United, he has brought his defensive tactics at the back here. Under his command, United's backfield players are very close-knit, and although they can't help the attack, they are very capable defensively.

Attacking and defending, Manchester United is playing quite ugly. It is precisely because of this that they will not be able to win against slightly stronger teams like Liverpool and Manchester City.

Of course, Wolfsburg is not too strong a team, so Manchester United will not be slaughtered as directly as Manchester City did. But Manchester United continues to play like this, which is tantamount to giving up all their home advantage. The home game is still so conservative, they can win a dull game at most by relying on home advantage.

What's more, in this game, I'm afraid they won't even be able to win the battle. After all, the more stuffy the battle, the more significant the goal is decided. Maybe with just one goal, this game, the victory is no longer Manchester United's. (To be continued.) )
