Chapter 0476, this final, must win!
Manchester United break the deadlock!
At the end of the first half!
This timing is so important!
At the moment of Manchester United's goal, Ajax coach Bose was so angry that he smashed his water bottle on the ground!
His mentality is about to collapse!
We Ajax stormed the half, and we kept attacking dominantly, but we fell short!
It's so Fxxk!
Forced half of the game, only to concede the first goal?
It's really unpleasant!
But what can it be, the goal has already been conceded.
In the final minute of stoppage time, Ajax launched another attack.
However, they clearly did not come out of the form of conceding a goal, and were eventually easily disrupted by the United midfield.
The referee's whistle blew and the first half was over.
With a one-goal lead, the United players were much brisker back to the dressing room.
However, Mourinho still has a serious expression.
Because he knew that the real test would come next.
It was clear in the first half that United's attack didn't have too many good chances.
The final cooperation is just a fatal blow of the stroke of genius, and it is not the norm.
It was not easy to hold on to the win in the second half.
So at the beginning of the second half, Mourinho replaced Rashford, who performed averagely, and replaced Mata with good attack and defense.
This substitution made many people unexpected.
Not even Mata thought of it.
In fact, Mata has been nervous this season.
During his time at Chelsea, he was abandoned by Jose Mourinho and eventually moved away to join Manchester United.
I thought that I could be reused under the coach who valued him, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Mourinho also came to Manchester United.
What's the point......
But I didn't expect that after the two reunited, the relationship with Chelsea was very different.
At Manchester United, Jose Mourinho has given Juan Mata a a heavy use.
Over the course of a long season, Juan Mata has been an absolute mainstay, but he has definitely been in the rotation.
Especially in the fourth-line combat phase, Mata was often entrusted with important tasks.
He has been in great form this season and has also returned to the Spanish national team as an important player.
It's all about Mourinho's development.
In fact, he also understands that Mourinho is not a coach with a personal vendetta.
He uses people according to the situation of the team.
During his time at Chelsea, Juan Mata's rivals were too strong for Mourinho to give him a chance.
But at Manchester United, Mata's skills, scrambling and versatility have become his greatest strengths.
Comprehensiveness, in particular, is particularly valuable.
Now that Marcus Rashford is gone, Juan Mata has been put up front and moved to the left.
And this adjustment activated him to the greatest extent.
There is Xia Xing behind him, and Mata is like a fish in water.
Xia Xing's passing is something any attacking player wants to have, and Juan Mata is no exception.
A couple of comfortable passes in quick succession allowed Mata to pass and shoot and get two good chances.
However, the shot was only a little bit on goal, and the pass was also played high by Mkhitaryan, which was a bit of a pity.
As the minutes ticked by, Ajax's side began to adjust their players.
Youngsters Donny van de Beek and Frenkie de Jong were substituted, with SchΓΆne and Klaassen coming off.
As a result, Ajax's midfield is younger.
Although I am inexperienced, I am full of hard work!
As soon as he came off the bench, De Jong used a wonderful long pass to penetrate Manchester United's midfield line!
Younis receives the ball in the box and shoots with his feet!
Romero made another save to keep the goal open!
Although he didn't concede the ball, the pass was truly shocking.
Xia Xing, who was not far away, was secretly amazed.
This young man is really a good seedling of a midfield master.
If you put it in a technical team, you will definitely be able to achieve something.
A few minutes later, a forward cut from Donny van de Beek down the middle also broke the defensive link between Marouane Fellaini and Pogba.
Rush into the box and shoot low!
The ball was blocked by Blind and bounced off the baseline!
It's dangerous!
This time, Peilan on the side of the court was stunned: "These two attacks are really dangerous." These two guys simply shouldn't stay in the Eredivisie and can go to the big five leagues. β
Mourinho is interested: "If you can poach these two youngsters after a few seasons, it will definitely be a good choice. β
Perrin asked rhetorically: "Why not next season?" β
Jose Mourinho shrugged: "Because they are inexperienced and not fit for the current situation of Manchester United competing for the Champions League next season. β
Perrin held out his thumb: "Awesome." β
Mourinho smiled, but he still stared at the pitch rigorously, observing every detail.
Although the team led by one goal, Mourinho once said something.
"1-0 is the least safe score in the world."
Although he was a staunch '1-0' during his time at Chelsea, he was also well aware of the dangers of a one-goal lead.
1-0 to 1-1 is a bit far, but 1-0 to 1-2 is close.
If you suddenly lose the ball, it is easy to cause a total collapse.
This is a scenario that Mourinho absolutely does not want to see.
So at this moment, he strengthened the defense.
In the 75th minute of the game, he replaced Pogba and replaced the veteran Carrick.
This substitution made many people not understand.
Shouldn't we be replaced by a physical midfielder like Schneiderlin and Herrera?
Why the last veteran?
Mourinho is well aware.
Now the team's defensive skills are fine, and the most important thing is the defensive mentality.
As long as the mentality is stable, this game will be fine.
Sure enough, after Carrick came on, Manchester United's defence was more solid.
Carrick doesn't have the body or speed, but he has enough experience to control the field with ease.
In the 84th minute of the game, he suddenly made a long pass with a cold arrow, and even almost helped Rooney score another goal.
If it weren't for Rooney not being able to run, I'm afraid the ball would still be powerful.
Jose Mourinho was quick to react, replacing Wayne Rooney for Herrera.
As a result, United's formation has completely changed to a 4-4-2 formation.
Traditional style of play.
And on the Ajax side, they also played the last card.
Bosch was in a hurry.
They are yet to score at this stage and Bosch is frustrated.
He didn't win the Eredivisie this season and it's a shame for him.
This final must be won!
Young striker Neres came off the bench to replace centre-back Alexis Sanchez.
In this way, Ajax's formation became 3-3-4.
They're going to storm at the last moment.
With around ten minutes of stoppage time remaining, Ajax is not without chances.
Substitute Brazilian teenager Neres ran towards the United half, while Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini ran past him.
He looked at Nerres' dirty braid hairstyle and pouted.
"You don't have a good hairstyle."
But I didn't expect Neres to open directly: "Just your embarrassing unkempt head, are you embarrassed to laugh at my unsightly hairstyle?" You take care of your hairstyle first, and I'll take care of my hairstyle! β
