Everyone in the dressing room looked at the Dutch coach and listened to him.

Van Gaal continued: "Wanyama got a yellow card, he became very cautious, it was a chance, we ignored it in the first half, we have to take advantage of it in the second half! ”

The yellow card, which was given two minutes into the game, should have been exploited, but the United players seemed to have forgotten about it, and Van Gaal had to pay attention to it again.

This is United's chance.

Looking at the players, Van Gaal said: "I won't say much about the defensive problem, the position, the defense and the echo must be done well, David should pay more attention in front of the goal, command the defense line and stand more." ”

After De Gea was named, he nodded heavily at the manager.

After receiving De Gea's response, Van Gaal once again turned his attention to all the players and said loudly: "One more point, we have to be calm and patient in the second half, the situation in the first half was in our favor, and we continued to play like this in the second half, we can't be in a hurry, pay attention to the timing!" ”

Although Van Gaal did not say any timing, everyone knew in their hearts that he would be watching from the sidelines.

When the time comes, Manchester United will seize the opponent's loopholes and fight to the death!

"Rest assured, this game is still under our control!" Van Gaal summed it up calmly and confidently.

………………

After fifteen minutes of play, the two sides were back on the pitch.

'It was clear that neither manager made any substitutions or changes at half-time. The commentator was analysing the changes between the two sides in the second half, but found that there was no change.

The tactics and players have not changed much, which directly leads to the situation not changing much. The second half of the two sides continued the situation of the first half, and the situation was still stalemate. The tempo was fast, the two sides fought fiercely, the ball shifted frequently, and the two sides went back and forth, but they never created many threatening chances.

Time passes minute by minute, starting with forty-five minutes, jumping into fifty minutes, jumping into sixty minutes......

Neither side seemed to be moving.

Fans watching the game in action gradually realised that the left side of the United was clearly becoming more and more active, and began to create several dangerous attacks.

However, Southampton's front court is sleepwalking in front. No one pulled the side, no one ran the position, and there was not even the slightest spark of passion.

And right-back Bertrand on the right is not in great form.

As their physical strength was depleted, Wanyama and Schneiderlin's running ability also decreased a lot, and their protection of the wings also weakened.

In this case, once Luke Shaw and Valencia, the two full-backs who almost used Louis van Gaal as a full-back, and Di Maria who actively pulled the side, it was easy to form a two-on-one situation on the side of the ball.

Seeing a hole in the team's defence and formation, Ronald Koeman immediately warmed up on the winger Serbian Dusan Tadic after the 60 minutes.

Three minutes later, in the 63rd minute, Southampton brought on Dusan Tadic for Elia, who had been average in the game.

In the whole game, Elia had only one shot on goal and was very poor.

Dusan Tadic's arrival also heralded a tactical change for Southampton.

As soon as Tadic came on as a substitute, Van Gaal, who had been sitting in his position, suddenly stood up from the ground. Rushed to the sidelines, waving his hand and shouting at the players on the field.

He is also adjusting the situation in the team.

All the Manchester United players immediately realised that the time Van Gaal had spoken about at half-time had finally arrived!

His gestures were as if shouting: Comrades, victory is at hand, let's rush!

'Coman made another substitution. When Tadic was seen on TV shaking hands with Elia and patting his shoulder, he quickly walked up front and appeared on the left side of the team's front, the TV commentator immediately began to analyse Southampton's substitution, "It is clear that Koeman has realised that the previous tactical play has lost its effectiveness, especially when Manchester United have five players in midfield, and it is necessary to actively open up the wide passages. ”

'It's a good choice to take Elia, who is sleepwalking, and bring on Tadic, after all, Manchester United have always had the advantage on the flanks so far in the game.

"It seems that Southampton still want to give it a go and win this game!"

The TV screen changed again, showing Louis van Gaal waving his hands on the sidelines and directing the players on the pitch. Although I couldn't hear what he was shouting, and it was hard to make out what he was saying from his gestures, it was not difficult to tell from his excited look that he was asking the team to make a hard shot.

After the change, Southampton's wide attack came alive.

Tadic's first touch of the ball was a dribble, stopping the ball and smashing past Valencia to cross on the left.

In the big penalty area, Pelle still fought for the first drop point under the left and right clamps of Phil Jones and Smalling, and the header returned to the front of the big penalty area.

The shot was powerful, but the angle was too square, and De Gea was steady in his arms.

"The first attack after the substitution, Southampton threatened!"

'Coman made another substitution.
