Chapter 11: Well done
Although the situation on the field seemed bad, the lead was real, and the Arsenal fans did not hesitate to applaud and cheer, giving Yumo and Anelka the same treatment.
The two did not communicate, not even have courtesy physical contact. Anelka deliberately distanced himself and waved his hands in the air to the cheering fans before leaving the pitch intently.
You Mo didn't find himself bored, and trotted onto the field with his head stuffy.
The pace of the next game was still very fast, the score of 2:1 gave both sides enough motivation to rewrite, and the relaxed atmosphere of the game allowed both sides to fully let go of their hands and feet, even if their physical fitness declined, the momentum to move forward was still full.
Yumo hasn't changed his style of play.
Change, cater to these things, it's not that he won't, he just doesn't want to, and he's not good at it. Moreover, it is really difficult to understand some things deeply after only a few days of contact, and I don't know which direction to change if I want to change. Even the style and culture of the team, he is only looking for clues with ancient memories.
Instead of having a black eye, it's better to go back to your old job.
He was sent on by Arsene Wenger as a fulcrum up front. In the professor's opinion, this guy is not big, but he has flexible movements and strong confrontation ability, even if he has a weak technique at his feet, he will not stop three meters away. As long as his teammates help him in time, the team's offensive system should be able to take him in.
You Mo did this kind of work when he was in the junior team, and he did it well at that time. However, he is still only 183 tall and weighs only 75 kilograms. For a traditional English defender, such a fulcrum is like a wooden fence. With a little force, it's enough to crush.
With all kinds of expectations, everyone stared at the guys running on the field.
Outcome. Everyone was a little disappointed.
Opponents, teammates, Arsene Wenger, Ferguson.
The so-called fulcrum did not qualify for the forward line at all, and although it was out of step with the beat of his teammates, this guy used his diligence to run all over the field, and repeatedly caused problems for Manchester United's gradually rising momentum.
Bundesliga Golden Boot?
Is this a midfield meat stirr?
Arsenal are not comfortable with a style of play without a fulcrum up front. The offense is still not sharp enough. United's plan to counter-attack quickly was thwarted and they had to play high balls frequently and rely on the impact of their strikers to solve problems. And so it goes. The open situation on the field gradually converged, and the attacks of both sides were a little thunderous and rainy.
Patrick Vieira, who has also played seven World Cup games, was substituted on 70 minutes, further weakening Arsenal's already modest midfield. Manchester United are getting braver. Possession soared.
Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines. Scratch your head.
Offensive or defensive?
In his opinion, it is unscientific to be suppressed by an old opponent like this, the current game is just a warm-up, and it is more important to find out the problem in time than to win the final victory.
What's the problem?
Ordinary fans can see it.
The big killer bought at a high price has been entangled with the opponent in the midfield and backfield, and there is no sharp knife that goes straight to the heart on the front line.
Bergkamp's best fit is a number nine and a half, commonly known as a 'shadow striker', and heavy work like the pivot is not for him. The Dutch need someone to cover in front of them, to transit. Shoot cannonballs to maximize your attack. No one stood in front of him for words. The experienced Irwin and Stam controlled the passing route with one in charge and the other in charge of close marking, and easily defused the Arsenal team's attack.
How to change?
Forcibly asking You Mo to appear at the fulcrum position is easy to alienate each other. Continuing to ignore it will also create a bad impression on other players.
The foreign monks are not welcomed, and if the head coach's arrangement is ignored, the criticism of the people before and after will definitely heat up.
"Let him go, just look for the feeling of an official game."
Pat Rice's voice sounded behind him, relaxing his tangled mood.
"Yes, I haven't played a competitive game in two months, so it's good to look in this atmosphere."
The game continued.
With the final ten minutes approaching, United began to make a desperate bet, with a back four becoming a back three and super-substitute Ole Gunnar Solskjaer becoming a third striker.
Yumo got busier.
A team like Arsenal likes and is used to breaking down opponents with a sharp attack. Although the defense is also very demanding, the consideration of the selection of materials has determined the overall lack of the team's defense.
This situation is also human.
Attacking this kind of thing requires imagination and creativity, and people who are gifted in this area often have different personalities. Or arrogant and uninhibited, or lonely and lonely, or willful and stubborn.
Talent and discipline are like the two ends of the scale, choose one side to press, the other side will inevitably be upturned.
In this Arsenal team on the field, the defenders have good individual ability, rich experience, and strong enough personality. Against a team that is not as strong as the opponent in front of you, it is enough to rely on just four defenders and a defensive midfielder.
The opponent in front of him is obviously not something that can be suppressed by relying on the defense line alone.
If you can't suppress it, you will inevitably be embarrassed, and after a long time, making mistakes will become inevitable. There are many mistakes, the nature is serious, and losing the ball and losing has become the general trend.
The most important thing that such a team lacks is talent, and what it lacks the most is will.
Of course, it is a strong enough opponent to expose this flaw. The Manchester United team on the pitch is qualified to do this, but the time is too short and there are not many options in the way.
The game has been played for 85 minutes, and Yumo has yet to show anything to the eye in attack.
This situation made some discerning fans on the scene a little dissatisfied.
"Hey, it doesn't matter if you don't have shooting boots, don't forget what your last name is!"
"Isn't it adaptable? Come to Ward's Bar in the evening, I'll take you to get used to it! ”
"Show your level, we hate to watch games like this!"
"Defending or something is just an added value, your real skills aren't just that, right?"
It sounds a bit harsh, but it's actually quite a normal reaction.
The higher the expectation. The bigger the gap, the myth created by Kaiserslautern in this year far exceeded the second double in Arsenal's history. The media flocked to this team. Fans inevitably feel contrasts.
Relying only on iron-blooded defense, quick counter-attacks, and unexpected tactics, where can the results of these things be as enjoyable as attacking football sweeping the Premier League?
Wearing this kind of colored glasses, the shortcomings of Youmo's technology are artificially magnified. In addition to his teammates seeing him as nothing, fans are also worried about whether he will fit into the championship team that has already formed a tactical system.
Manchester United on the bench. Next to Lu Wei sat Ferguson's right-hand man.
Kidd's face was full of confusion, and he spoke quickly.
"Did he play like that before? How do you feel that something is wrong? ”
"I'm new here, so I'm not used to it."
"How do I think someone deliberately didn't pass it on to him?"
"Perhaps."
"You don't seem to care too much about that?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you worried about him?"
"Nope."
"It's boring to talk to you!"
“”
on the field. David Beckham dribbled forward on the right and met an old acquaintance.
After coming to the UK, the two did not have much contact.
The reason is actually quite simple.
Before he came, he felt that the wealthy family was suitable for the guy he valued. But he really became an opponent. The pervasive smear only bores him. Don't want to cause trouble for both sides. Then try to pretend that you don't know.
It can't be helped, who makes Ferguson hate the most is Wenger.
His relationship with the lord gradually drifted apart, and opinions on many things began to diverge. The guy in front of him was his advocate to come to the Premier League to develop, but the news leaked out of nowhere, which became one of the sources of conflict between the two.
In fact, he also understands that the lord is not really unable to get along with him. It's just an off-field life, just a highly exposed idol star road, just a wife who is more in the limelight than him. planted a sharp barb in the relationship between the two.
He really didn't want to leave Manchester United, not at all. These guys on the field are called "Class 92". is the best partner he can have today's achievements, and no amount of money and fame can replace the relationship between him and them.
Scholes, Barth, Ryan Giggs, the Neville brothers, and him, after a decade of ups and downs together, now is the time to reap the fruits, and if he leaves, it will inevitably be bitter for his entire career.
What kind of mood will this guy in front of him feel when he leaves his best brother, leaves the realm of the gods he created, and faces the proud master after the double crown alone?
Dangling to the right, buckling to the left, pushing the ground with his left foot, and just about to start overtaking, he found that the guy in front of him was already facing away from him.
What's the situation?!
So fast?
Beckham, who came to his senses, quickly turned around and chased back.
"Wow, amazing turn!"
The two commentators of Sky Sports woke up from the small talk, and their emotions instantly ignited.
"It's so fast, as if it's just a flower in front of him, and he has completed a 180-degree turn!"
"David Beckham was careless, conceding a goal like this would be dangerous for the Manchester United defence!"
"The tackle in one go was so unexpected that when he got the ball at his feet, both men seemed to be sluggish before reacting!"
"Yes, the players can only react instinctively in this situation, and I guess they are still surprised."
"That's right. Well, Arsenal's quick counter-attack was destroyed by Keane out of the touchline, and now everyone has time to look at the slow motion and reminisce! ”
"What is this?!"
"It seems so. As if he expected his opponent to move to the left, he stepped out with his right foot one step in advance, stepped on the ground, and his body was like a spinning top, and with a whip, he immediately spun at high speed! ”
"I've never seen this kind of turning technique before!"
"Yes, it's too exaggerated, the explosive power of kicking the ground is amazing!"
"His movements are as fast as a shooting star, clean as a lawn, oh no, clean as an autumn wind sweeping away leaves!"
"Look at Beckham's expression, you can understand the mood of the opponent at this moment!"
"Haha, the lord is also surprised!"
Not only surprised, Ferguson has a cannibalistic heart.
The treatment he received at Arsenal kept him in a state of excitement all day. This feeling has both the taste of expectation and the meaning of successful schemes.
Public opinion building is just a small trick, and his off-the-field methods are far more than the media.
How do you get a strong opponent on paper out of the picture?
The best way is to create a gap between the two sides and create a psychological gap.
Lu Wei's grand welcome at Manchester United, the good form in which he quickly found his place in the team, and the sincerity with which the dressing room opened its doors were all traces of his deliberate creation. The purpose, naturally, is to tilt the scales in the other guy's heart. Even going back a few days, the transfer fees and salaries offered by Manchester United have the meaning of stimulating old rivals.
Look, who's more atmospheric!
In his opinion, there is no contrast, there is no gap.
The difference in treatment between the two is so big that it is inevitable that the accountant will gain and lose in his heart, and he will enter an unfamiliar environment with this mentality, and he has already lost half of it before he starts.
But who would have thought?!
Arsenal up and down are following his train of thought, but the parties do not play according to the cards!
Five minutes after this guy came on the court, he had an ominous premonition in his mind.
Manchester United's skills are not as good as their opponents, and their tactical play is also behind the world's top arsenal, but their resilience and iron-blooded spirit are far superior to their opponents. After pulling a goal back in the first half, the morale of the team was high, and Wenger was very cooperative to replace Petit and Vieira as midfielders one by one.
It stands to reason that the final stage of the competition should have been taken over by his disciples.
As a result, this guy turned into a muscular warrior, and used the confrontation skills trained in the Bundesliga to repeatedly make his team's offense damp, not to mention these, it is the result of this guy playing football with his brain. However, this guy actually did something more exaggerated on the basis of the meat stirring machine in the midfield, and he had to pay attention to this effect.
The game in front of him is nothing, he loses, and what really makes him care is the future.
Low-key, calm, focused, explosive personal ability, who doesn't like this kind of guy?
Even if you don't score goals, as long as you can guarantee the victory of the game, the shortcomings will be artificially covered up, the loopholes will be filled in advance by those who have a heart, and the weaknesses will be diluted by one victory after another.
This result made him a little frightened!
Wait until the situation deteriorates and then start to prepare, this kind of thing is insulated from him. With his temperament, the means are not a problem, as long as the effect is good.
"Hey, don't nag there, is something valuable something that can be obtained with that kind of attitude?"
Hearing this, Kidd turned his head blankly and looked at the familiar face.
Laughing but not laughing, like angry but not angry.
"Oh, got it."
After a while, Kidd replied angrily.
on the field.
The game had entered stoppage time, and United, still trailing by one goal, continued to make desperate bets, with Sheringham replacing Keane in a bizarre 334 formation.
Ground passes have been artificially abandoned, and even if there are occasional short passes, it is to make it easier for teammates to make long passes. York, Cole, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Sheringham, all four guys have their own strengths, and they all have European top standards. After the layers were laid out, the Arsenal defense was suddenly shaken.
Director Tony Adams seemed silent throughout the game, and at such a time it seemed that he couldn't help it.
"Good job, lad." (To be continued......)
