Chapter 0816, the battle of the Europa League, can not be attacked for a long time
Did Villarreal score?
Villarreal scored......
The United fans in the stands fell silent.
They didn't expect that the team that was still imposing just now would be hit by the opponent.
And the players on the field were also a little dazed at this time.
What's the situation?
That's a goal?
That's an exaggeration, isn't it......
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, on the sidelines, reassured his players loudly: "Cheer up, we're just unlucky, come on, we'll score goals soon!" ”
Is it just bad luck?
Xia Xing doesn't think so.
Just now, from defense to offense, all the organizations are in their plan.
Definitely not by chance.
In the backfield, Xia Xing was able to observe the team's situation and the changes of the opponent more significantly.
How could the wing, which has always been defensively solid, give Wan-Bissaka the possibility of breaking through so easily?
It was all about leading him forward.
Anyway, after breaking through, he was forced to a dead end, and he could only cross.
And Rashford's header is average, his body is not strong enough to have impact, and there is only one point for Cavani.
That's not good to defend?
The 35-year-old veteran is no longer as good as he was at the beginning.
And the counterattack of the Yellow Submarine also started from Albiol's sudden long pass.
That pass, it's absolutely world-class.
Even Xia Xing admired it very much.
Then the long pass even made him see Xiao Luo's shadow.
Refers to the east and west.
And there is another point, that is, he not only passed unexpectedly, but also deliberately avoided Xia Xing's left back position and passed the ball to another time.
Nemanja Matic was not fast, he couldn't keep up with the fill-in, and the central defense was out of position in an instant.
Several players who are in the Yellow Submarine Academy are together, and they have a very tacit understanding.
Manchester United are without right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and only Victor Lindelof is defending on the right side, which is very difficult.
And Maguire's turn and chase speed was not fast, and he was left behind by Baca with a speed.
Baka's final kick was also decisive and precise.
At such a close distance, De Gea is not capable of doing it.
It was the goal conceded in the end.
Xia Xing exhaled hard and shouted loudly in the middle of the court.
"Guys! Cheer up! ”
Although the stadium was noisy, Xia Xing's voice was still heard by almost all his teammates.
Everyone felt a burning feeling on their faces.
The mistake just now is everyone's mistake.
The goal just conceded is also the responsibility of the whole team.
From front to back, every player has problems.
In attack, Aaron Wan-Bissaka decisively pressed forward to assist, which was no problem.
However, Nemanja Matic was not quick to make up for it, he remained in midfield and missed his best defensive chance.
And Wan-Bissaka's pass was also a bit haphazard, after all, Greenwood was already responding, he could have waited for another opportunity, after all, Cavani was stared at and was not in a good position.
On the defensive line, Lindelof did not get close to Moreno, which also gave the opponent an opportunity to assist and pass.
In the end, it was a pity to concede the goal.
At the end of the day, it's not a matter of technology, it's a matter of mentality.
Whether it's defending or attacking, Manchester United were too casual today.
They treat Villarreal as a soft persimmon and pinch it casually.
I didn't cherish the opportunity, and the defense was careless, which caused the final goal to be conceded.
At this moment, the Manchester United players recalled the words of the summer trip reminder before the game, and they felt something in their hearts.
This opponent is not easy to deal with!
Although I was in good spirits, I had already conceded the ball, so I was very passive.
Next, Manchester United began to attack more quickly.
The front trident runs in a large area, and B Fei is also trying to connect in tandem in the front court.
Xia Xing also occasionally stepped forward to assist, but soon withdrew to help defend.
After all, Nemanja Matic has a lot of defensive pressure alone, and the opposing players' individual breakthrough ability and technique are great.
During this period, Manchester United attacked a lot, but they still couldn't open up the situation.
And the Yellow Submarine's several counterattacks were also very threatening, and even the number of effective shots on goal exceeded that of Manchester United.
Their right midfielder, Jeremy Pino, was very positive today.
The 19-year-old has become an important rotation player for the team this season, scoring three goals and providing one assist in 24 appearances.
Unai Emery sent him on the pitch in this game in the hope that he could use his sharp breakthrough to cause problems for Manchester United.
Indeed, the effect was achieved.
In the opening stages, he had a few counter-attacks, showing his individual technical characteristics.
Because of his existence, Xia Xing is very cautious in assisting and assisting in defense, and he must not be left alone to Luke Shaw, so that Luke Shaw's defensive pressure is too great.
During this time, even with Xia Xing's defense, the young man still found a good opportunity to pass the ball twice.
You must know that under Xia Xing's defense, you can still pass the ball effectively, which is great.
This young man, incredible!
In addition to the youngster, the young centre-back Pau Torres of the Yellow Submarine also performed very well today.
The 23-year-old, who also came through the Villarreal Academy, has an exceptional defensive ability and a big-picture outlook.
Even though he is tall, he is not bulky, and his marking against Cavani was quite successful in this game.
During this time, many of Manchester United's attacks were destroyed under his defense.
36-year-old Albiol and 23-year-old Pau Torres, the two are old and young, and they cooperate quite tacitly.
The more he fought with Villarreal, the more Xia Xing felt that the other party was strong.
This opponent is even stronger than he expected!
Some teams, some players, really can't look at their value and fame!
At the end of the first half, United were still unable to score.
The match was temporarily frozen at 0-1.
At half-time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remained calm.
His personal habit is to hardly criticize the players, focusing on an encouragement.
But after he finished speaking, Xia Xing took the initiative to stand up again and turned his head to look at his teammates.
"Guys, those words I said before the game started,
"I'm sure a lot of people don't take it to heart,
"Second in the Premier League and seventh in La Liga, the gap is too big, isn't it?
"But look at the game just now, what do you think?
"Is this opponent easy to deal with?
"Definitely a tough enemy!
"It was no accident that they were able to win against Arsenal!
"And don't forget, they scored two goals in a row for Arsenal in a secure position!
"I almost cut off the suspense at home!
"In the face of such an opponent, we have to be 12 points in spirit!
"Do you have more time for the next game?
'It's a lot, 45 minutes to go, enough for us to equalise.
"But it's not much, only 45 minutes, if we can't effectively tear through the Yellow Submarine's defense,
'We're going to be knocked out like Arsenal, they're going to be knocked out.
Or rather, by their own arrogance!
"Guys, today is the last game of the season,
"I hope we can carry the victory,
"Back to Manchester with the title!
"Give our fans an explanation!" (End of chapter)
