Chapter 142: Try
"Are you really going to do that? In fact, we could bring on Fletcher or bring on Ryan Giggs to pull Richardson into the wing-back position. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Although Ferguson had a bolder idea in his heart, he did not go it alone but discussed it with his coaching team.
Queiroz, after listening to Ferguson's idea, was the first to disagree.
First of all, Fletcher is not only able to play in midfield, but also in the right wing-back and centre-back positions, and has also performed well. Secondly, even if it is to consider the thickness of the bench and not let Fletcher play, Richardson can play right wing-back. Richardson is a defender himself, but he has been transformed into an attacking midfielder this season.
"Carlos, I understand what you say!" Seeing his assistant's objection, Ferguson frowned, and instead of getting angry, he patiently explained there, "But I don't think you fully understand what I mean." First of all, Fletcher as a complementary player, you should not object! Seeing Queiroz nod, Ferguson continued, "Richardson is a good full-back, but Gabriel is not, he has good pace and aggressive tackling, but as a full-back he has mediocre assist ability and is often out of position. ”
Queiroz listened and nodded incessantly, and what Ferguson said was very reasonable.
Heinze is certainly not a first-choice choice for a full-back, which is why he has not been given more opportunities at United this season.
And when it comes to the position of central defender, the defensive awareness and positional sense are relatively poor, and it is not a good choice.
In the first few games, it was only as a last resort that he was pushed to the central defender position.
'But he's a really nice addition on the bench! I'm not thinking about this game, I'm thinking about the Champions League against AC Milan in midweek. Gabriel plus Darren, then we will have two strong additions at the back! ”
"But this can't make up for Yu Liang's shortcomings! First, he didn't play at centre-back. Second, without air defense and confrontation, he will become a breakthrough point for the opponent! ”
Yes, Ferguson's bold idea was to step back Yu Liang to play at central defender and partner Brown.
'Yes, he didn't play at centre-back, he didn't have the height and the confrontation. But this does not deny him, you must know that Fabio has just won the World Footballer of the Year! ”
Ferguson looked at Queiroz and laughed.
Of course, he knows that Yu Liang is not tall enough and lacks confrontation, but he believes that Yu Liang can make up for these two shortcomings through positional sense and defensive awareness.
That's why he came up with the idea.
Queiroz looked at Ferguson with a bitter smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not joking about the game!"
Since Ferguson has said so, Queiroz has no objection.
Looking at Yu Liang sitting on the stool, Queiroz sighed secretly: "Good luck!" ”
Yu Liang, who was sitting on the stool at the moment, didn't know what Ferguson and Queiroz were discussing. He just felt that his chances of getting a game in the first half were slim because Kalika was very good.
"Yu!"
But just as his thoughts came to him, he heard a shout, and turned his head to see Ferguson waving at him.
He immediately walked up to Ferguson, "Boss, you're looking for me!" ”
Yu Liang didn't know what Ferguson was asking him for, but after listening to it, he still felt a little incredible.
Playing at centre-back? Ferguson was not mistaken!
Scratching the back of his head, Yu Liang glanced at Ferguson.
"What's wrong?"
Ferguson not only talked to Yu Liang about the position, but also explained in detail what a central defender should do in the game, and also explained the tactical arrangements for the second half. But after saying this, he looked at Yu Liang's suspicious expression, and immediately frowned.
Seeing Ferguson's frown, Yu Liang immediately replied affirmatively: "No! No problem! ”
Seeing Yu Liang reply affirmatively, after Ferguson hummed, he called the players together and began to make some small tactical adjustments.
By the time Ferguson had finished, the half-time break was over.
When Yu Liang walked out of the locker room door, Ferguson patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on!" ”
"Come on!"
With Ferguson's expectations, Yu Liang stepped onto the pitch.
'At the start of the second half, the first half ended in a 1-1 draw, Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand was injured late in the first half, and we saw a substitution on United's side, replaced by Yu ...... Bright? Does Ferguson want the Chinese youngster to play at centre-back? Or will Carrick be put in the centre-back position? Oh no, Yu Liang appeared in the central defender position, didn't this point the way for the Middlesbrough players to attack? ”
The commentator did not understand Ferguson's intention to replace Yu Liang very well.
Compared with Middlesbrough's two strikers, Yu Liang not only has no height, but the confrontation is even more pitiful.
Middlesbrough will be partnered in the front line by Australian striker Viduka and Nigerian striker Yakubu.
Needless to say, Yakubu has the basic characteristics of an African player, with excellent explosiveness and strong impact, and his confrontation ability is naturally not a problem.
And what about Viduka?
With a height of 1.88 meters and a weight of 92 kilograms, he is known as the Hulk and the main striker of the Kangaroo Army. A strong body and super impact are among the best in the Premier League, and they are the capital of his life. Although he is now 31 years old, he is still a threat in the circle.
After Yu Liang came on the pitch, Middlesbrough directly put the breakthrough point of the attack on him.
Within minutes of the opening minutes of the second half, Middlesbrough's attack advanced into the United half, and then Middlesbrough's wide player crossed directly.
Although Yu Liang made the right judgment and stuck the position of the ball in advance, Yu Liang still lost his position under the squeeze of Viduka's strong body.
The tall and strong Viduka easily grabbed the ball on Yu Liang's body.
Brown saw that Yu Liang had lost his position, and immediately made up for it.
Viduka faced the ball a little with his chest and part, and then picked his toes to directly pick up Brown who came over to make up the defense, and then squeezed his body directly into the penalty area from Brown's side, and volleyed directly into the ball.
Ferguson, who was sitting on the bench, watched Viduka easily snatch the landing point from Yu Liang and pick Brown to complete the shot, and immediately clenched his hands nervously there, and at the same time chewed gum faster.
The noisy stadium immediately became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the white light...... (To be continued.) )
