Zhan Yingjun took advantage of the halftime break to explain: "We saw that in the first half, after fierce competition between the two sides, it can be said that Manchester United played more uncomfortable. ”

"When the midfield is confined and it is difficult to open up the situation, although I also get two shots, there is no threat, not even the goal frame!"

Liu Jianliang also smiled: "Yes, it can be seen from here that Pochettino deserves to be a new famous coach." Not to mention these senior coaches, his team is full of energy. On the other hand, Manchester United's midfield line is a bit sluggish, and it has also paid the price of player injuries. ”

However, although the two sides exchanged blanks in the first half, it can be seen that Tottenham attacked better, dominated the scene, and hit the woodwork with a few shots. In the second half, if United don't make adjustments, the horror will be a home defeat. ”

In the dressing room corridor, because Liu Yang's shoelaces fell off, he stopped for a while to deal with it, so he walked last.

Seeing Ferguson and McPheran standing at the door of the locker room in front of him, he couldn't help but slow down.

"Mike, I'm giving me a lot of headaches at the moment."

"In the first half, I played very passively, especially in the midfield, I was paralyzed and lost the ability to feed the cake to the front."

"Fortunately, in the forward line, a few people have good abilities to create a little bit of a threat, but it's obviously not the effect I wanted."

McPheran knew Ferguson was looking for advice, so he said: "Why don't you try the lineup you trained with yesterday?" ”

Ferguson was noncommittal: "With the midfield restricted, even if that lineup is used, I don't think much will change. ”

McPheran tried to say, "Why don't we change another person in the midfield." ”

Ferguson's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he motioned for McPheran to continue.

"What do you think of Mata?"

Yet the name is heard.

Ferguson's eyes darkened, obviously not very satisfied.

"After many battles, I estimate that his physical strength is not enough, and his characteristic is to dribble and connect, so that the players can go up and down, but the speed is not fast enough."

McPheran nodded: "In terms of physical confrontation, Mata's smaller body is indeed a bit of a loss. ”

At this time, Liu Yang stepped forward: "Old man, why don't you let Lingard try it, I have to him." ”

The two didn't know that Liu Yang was behind them, and they were both taken aback.

McFerran was even more dissatisfied with his eavesdropping: "Okay, it's a matter for our coaching staff, you go in quickly." ”

Ferguson seemed to be caught by Liu Yang's words, and turned to Liu Yang and said, "Then you give me a reason, why is Lingard feasible?" ”

McPheran was shocked, did the old man really want to use the kid who almost made the whole team suffer defeat after the last time?

Has he forgotten the immaturity, rampant and sloppiness that Lingard showed in the last game?

And he doesn't have any experience in competitions!

However, seeing the old man's expression, he knew after many years of getting along that the old man was moved.

Liu Yang replied with a smile: "Lingard is young, and he is fast, and his skills are also good. In the last game, steals, dribbles, assists and stunners were all very eye-catching. ”

"I think it's like him, who has the ability to break through with the ball, and is young, who dares to fight and grab, and who has a wide range of running coverage. This kind of characteristic should be able to make up for the shortcomings of the current team. ”

"Why don't you give it a try, it's okay if you don't change people."

Ferguson was indeed moved by Liu Yang's words.

McPheran couldn't help but be impressed by him.

As a player on the field, Liu Yang has such insight, which is absolutely very rare.

Generally only midfield geniuses have such a big picture.

Ferguson was secretly happy in his heart, and Liu Yang's words almost reached his heart.

But his face was still unfazed, and he said, "Okay, I will consider your opinion, you go in first." ”

It wasn't until Liu Yang walked into the locker room that a smile appeared on Ferguson's face.

"Old man, do you really want to do this?" Mike knew he was intrigued.

Ferguson replied with a smile and said, "Mike, when we chose Liu Yang before, would we think that he could perform today?" ”

Mike knew that no matter what he said at this time, he couldn't shake the old man's decision.

However, it is better to say that Liu Yang moved him, but it is better to say that he himself has long had this idea.

It's just that in this kind of competition, such a risky move, he needs someone to affirm.

And that person is undoubtedly Liu Yang.

Ferguson and McPheran pushed open the locker room door.

I saw a group of players wilting and languishing.

Ferguson's brows couldn't help frowning, the opponent's kicking style was really uncomfortable.

But playing in such a state of mind, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

So he lifted his glasses and said, "I know everyone feels bad, and so do I." ”

"It's really a bit overwhelming for everyone to face this kind of high-intensity physical confrontation in the face of three-line operations."

"But don't forget, this is our home stadium, the Theater of Dreams built by countless sages, and there are more than 50,000 of our fans waiting for us outside the stadium."

"Are we going to fight like this and give back to their expectations?"

His eyes then swept over the players: "Even if we fight until we fall, we must not admit defeat and give up." ”

It was the first time Lingard had received such a lecture, and Ferguson spoke passionately.

Immediately stood up and applauded: "What the coach said is that we should be strong and overthrow their white army." ”

The other players didn't expect this guy to dare to interrupt the old man's lecture, and they all pulled their mouths a little.

This product is really second, just wait to be educated by the old man.

But Ferguson wasn't angry at Lingard's interruption, instead he nodded affirmatively.

Everyone looked up violently, in disbelief.

Hell today?

Or is the sun coming out of the west!

The usually stern old man actually changed his temper?

Ferguson continued: "On that note, I would like to start by giving a quick credit to Michael Carrick in midfield. ”

"In the first half, he was very tenacious, he was not afraid in the face of the opponent's fierce pressing, and he did a good job of maintaining the face that our team deserves, for which he was also injured."

Carrick was full of emotion, and it was worth it to be praised by Ferguson in person, even if the corners of his mouth hurt.

Ferguson looked at Carrick, who had a band-aid on his mouth, and said again: "Carrick, in the second half, you should rest and recuperate first." ”

Carrick nodded, though this small injury was not a big deal,

But it will also affect the play of strength to a greater or lesser extent.

Regarding this, he obeyed the arrangement of the coach.

At this time, Liu Yang realized something and looked up at Ferguson.

Sure enough, his eyes were staring straight at Lingard, who was a second-year teenager.

"Lingard, you came off the bench in the second half, remember to play well and don't disappoint everyone!"

Lingard didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly that he forgot to thank him.

In fact, in the first half, he sat next to the water cooler and watched everyone play, and he was already itchy.

It's a strong conversation, and as a footballer, who wouldn't want to play in a tournament like this.

Especially when he saw the team's midfield being suppressed, he couldn't wait to rush forward to help.

Now that he finally got his wish, he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly: "Really? It's great that I'm able to play. ”
