Chapter Fifty-Six: The Definition of Almighty!

Chubby's injury was confirmed after the race, it was a strain on the muscles of his left thigh and he needed to recuperate for two weeks.

Without Wayne Rooney, Manchester United's attacking power has indeed been greatly affected, even if Simon? No matter how much Grayson doesn't like it, it's an objective fact, the "Manchester United Twins" are not called in vain, the goals of Shaq and Rooney are the guarantee that the "Red Devils" swept the opponent, Shaq has scored a total of 83 goals for Manchester United in all competitions, and Rooney has scored 48 goals, in addition to the two of them, Nani, who ranks third in goals, has only 7 goals, and Rooney's importance can be easily perceived from the data.

Simon? Grayson did not smile at the post-match press conference, and he was more worried about who else could take on the attacking task with Shaq after the loss of "Chubby" after Manchester United lost "Little Fat".

Van Persie?

The Dutchman is old and he is already on the list of summer team purges!

Hernandez!?

"Little Pea" only shoots on his own, his passing and technical stuff have not improved with age, and at the age of 26 he has become a fringe man for Manchester United.

As for the others...... Goalscoring ability is not enough to be the second-in-command of Manchester United's attack, and Shaq has high requirements for his partner because of his personal characteristics.

At this time, Simon? Grayson can't help but miss Leeds United's Tevez and Pivkowski, or even Jonny? Haosen's sharp breakthrough also made him greedy.

When interviewed by reporters. The United boss admitted that his team is currently short of goalscorers: "Wayne's unexpected injury has caused us a lot of difficulties, and there is no reliable scorer in the team at the moment other than Shaq. The next period will be a pivotal moment for us to solve this problem, and I hope that the team will be able to tap into the potential within and digest the difficulties that are about to be faced in advance. ”

While those opponents are gloating and waiting to see the excitement, Simon? Grayson certainly doesn't rest on his laurels, and he doesn't ask for help from the reserves or youth teams, and he has some personality that is characteristic of the British. For example...... Bigotry!

Simon? Grayson will only trust players who have played under him and performed well, and those who don't know about it. Unless it is a matter of life and death, he will never use it easily, and when the "Young Guard" was able to boldly use Shaq, it was also because of the situation. But now it is clear that Manchester United is not at the point of life or death. It's not that the team can't play without "Little Fat", he has other ways.

After some research and discussion with Lerotalle and Zanetti, Simon? Grayson made a move to make his assistant Tony? McAndrew and the coaching staff were shocked by the tactical adjustments...... Hit the center with Shaq!

This "center" is no longer a combination of Shak's front midfield, virtual center, and nine and a half points, but a serious center!

After the adjustment, there will be only Shaq in the front line, and there will be no players close to him on the left and right, and Shaq will have a lot of room to move. And whether he can carry the burden of scoring goals depends on how strong his individual ability is. And what kind of play he's going to have in his new position.

Di Maria and Nani appeared in the wing-back position separately, while the two of them will also share the role of wingers, and they will flank the goal when they get the chance.

The two midfielders will be Ganso and Cleverley, who will be tasked with organising the team's attack and delivering shells up front.

Behind Ganso and Cleverley, it was Flaney who appeared in the midfield position, and this time Flaney will be completely transformed into a ball-grabbing machine, without Shaq in front of him to help defend, Flaney will have to rely on himself to form protection in front of the back line.

Simon? Grayson's adjustment of the back line is focused on the two full-backs, because of the emptiness on both sides of the midfield, the two full-backs will be given more space to move, Jose? Angel and Van der Wiel were asked to be more aggressive in providing assists.

Despite realising that the team's play in this way could result in a lack of pressure up front and no longer able to maintain United's current pressing style of play, Simon? Grayson has no good way to make changes to the team's lineup but will not be able to do it until the summer transfer, and now "Brutal Simon" has made up his mind, this summer will carry out the purge and tonic to the end, and completely complete his transformation of the "Red Devils".

For Simon? Grayson's request to himself, Shaq still accepted without objection, continuous goals, so that Shaq, a defender from the back, already has an offensive heart, and no matter how strong and dense the opponent's defense is, he can always find loopholes at a glance, this change is a change from instinct, plus he has the heart to challenge Pele's goal record, want to become the player with the most goals in football history, and the closer to the goal, there are obviously more opportunities, So he doesn't rule out playing as a center forward at all.

Just three days later, Manchester United had their FA Cup sixth round away at Swansea, and the Red Devils' latest tactics were unveiled in such a hurry.

In fact, it is a "new" tactic, and it is only for Manchester United and Simon? For Grayson, this shift from a 4-3-3 formation is still common in other teams, especially those with strong centre-forwards.

When Manchester United's new tactics were unveiled, everyone waited to see Simon? Grayson's lively opponents really laughed this time, and let Shaq play center, isn't this sacrificing his characteristics of speed, strong impact, and perverted long-range shooting ability?

Can such a tactical arrangement be regarded as a solution to Rooney's injury problem!?

Countless people laughed their big teeth, but in this away FA Cup game, Manchester United's performance ...... To be precise, it should be Shaq's performance, which shocked the spectacle lenses and made Simon? Grayson was unfamiliar with Shaq's personal abilities.

At the start of the game, Shaq didn't seem to be able to find his groove in his new position, failing to threaten with two headers and a single unsuccessful point-grabbing in front of goal, but the wind turned on 22 minutes......

United played a quick counter-attack on the left, Di Maria ran all the way along the touchline, and sent a cross close to the bottom line, the ball flew into the small box on the left side of Swansea, and Swansea centre-back Gilgallon also got the ball first, but after he stopped a little, a red figure fell to the ground and stretched out his leg and slid over!

"Smack!"

Shaq just poked the tip of his left foot and the ball flew into the bottom left corner of the Swansea goal, two metres away...... 1:0, Manchester United leads!

After the goal, Shaq seemed to find his sense all of a sudden, and on the 37th minute of the game, he received a pass from Cleverley in the penalty area on the left, leaned his body against the Swansea defender, forced a turn and picked up his left leg, and kicked the ball into the Swansea goal on the right side of the goal with a "bang...... 2:0！

In the 66th minute of the second half, Di Maria created a penalty, Shaq scored a hat-trick after hitting it, and Manchester United also sealed the victory with a huge 3-0 advantage.

On the 81st minute, United won a free-kick 30 yards from Swansea on the right side of the pitch...... 4:0！

Swansea City though in the 86th minute, led by striker Danny ? Graham scored a goal, but was still eliminated at home 1:4, and the best player of the game naturally fell to Shaq, who played the center for the first time and staged a heavyweight drama of "Big Four Happiness".

Simon? Grayson smiled at the press conference after the game: "I'm glad to see another ability of Shaq being developed, and even though it was his first time playing as a center forward, he did what many centers couldn't do in a lifetime, scoring four goals in one game!" I'm sure we'll do better as Shaq adapts to the new position and the team gets familiar with the new tactics! Wayne should be able to recover from his injury now, and when he returns, we will continue to challenge for the Champions League and FA Cup. ”

Now the "brutal Simon" is too lazy to say anything about the league championship, it is really not difficult for Manchester United, his goal has long been set in the Champions League and FA Cup, if he can lead the team to win the "quadruple" again, he will become a legend!

Simon? Grayson was a real gambler in the league title, and just four days later, United thrashed Fulham 6-1 on the road, with Shaq netting another hat-trick, Nani netting and Brazilian midfielder Gamiso stepping up to score a brace.

Although Shaq's robot cow has one less than the previous game, his performance in this game has made Simon's performance even more impressive? Grayson was satisfied, because he was acting more like a center.

All three goals were scored in the penalty area, with the 17th and 53rd minutes being the typical centre-forward technique of turning around and forcing a shot, and the 68th minute was a header from a corner kick.

After this game, European football was shaken again by the magic of Shaq, the center forward who scored 7 goals in two games, that is already the strength of the world's top center forward, but Shaq is such a player who played in the back when he debuted, he has done it, and the number of goals he has scored in the process of gradually moving forward, it seems that as long as he is in the middle of the field, he has no position that he is not qualified for, and his performance in each position is so good.

Shaq shook up European football once again, not just because of his initial success at the time of switching to centre-forward, but also because with the seven goals in those two games, he has now scored a ...... after 48 games for Manchester United this season 90 pcs! (To be continued......)
