West Ham United was unable to complete a smooth attack in such a fragmented game rhythm. After 4 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
……
De Gea was the first to push the door and enter the locker room. He was slightly startled when he saw someone already sitting in the locker room. The other person was not wearing the staff uniform.
""Hey, Chen?! Why are you here!" After De Gea saw who it was, a smile appeared on his face.
Other teammates also came in at this time, and their expressions were similar to De Gea's.
Rooney said:"Chen, didn't you participate in the national team's competition in Asia? Is the game over?"
"Yes, I took the earliest flight back after the game. I was cheering for you in the stands just now." Chen Huan said with a smile.
Although Manchester United played a difficult game, they still won, so the atmosphere in the locker room was very happy.
While they were talking and laughing, Manchester United's head coach Van Gaal walked in with a frown on his face. As soon as he came in, he also noticed Chen Huan.
"Chen, are you okay?" Van Gaal asked with a serious face.
"No, the national team coach didn't let me play the whole game, so my body... is OK." Chen Huan sensed a bad atmosphere and answered obediently. Van Gaal nodded slightly, then looked at the Manchester United players in the locker room. The next second, the Dutch roar began to echo in the locker room.
"Damn bastards, what the hell are you kicking?"
"Do you want to compete for the league championship based on your current form?"
"If that's the case, I hope you guys end your fantasy as soon as possible, because with your damn state, don't even think about touching the league championship trophy.……"
Van Gaal was angry. Although the game was won, it was a very difficult and ugly win.
The Dutchman has never been a coach who pays much attention to results. In his football philosophy, as long as the team's defense is solid, the passing is smooth, and the attack can be shot within the range of the goal, he will not be angry even if the game is lost due to some luck.
But today, although the game was won, the entire backcourt defense was like sleepwalking, the midfield control was barely tied with West Ham United's midfield, and the forwards did not get many chances to shoot on target when ending the attack.
And this match day ended with Van Gaal's roar.
……
The day after the match, Chen Huan arrived at the Carrington base on time to participate in training.
After communicating with the club's physical trainer, the physical trainer decided that before the end of the Asian Cup, Chen Huan's physical training time would be halved, and all other training except group training would also be halved, with recovery training as the main focus.
This was the only solution.
……
On February 12, three days after the last round of Premier League games, Manchester United ushered in another Premier League game. In the 25th round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Burnley at home.
In this game, Chen Huan entered the starting lineup.
In the sports channel of the Longguo Premier League broadcast, the commentary combination of this game is still Zhang Coach and Xiao Zhan.
"Chen Huan started again in this game. It can be seen that the coach trusts and relies on Chen Huan very much."Xiao Zhan said
"This is a good thing, but it may also be detrimental to the national team."Coach Zhang said
"Zhang, please explain"
"Well, Chen Huan just played a game at Sydney International Stadium and returned to Manchester on the same day. This game was an away game for Manchester United, and he had to take a bus from Manchester to Kaisha. It was a long journey with both a plane and a bus. Even if Chen Huan's physical fitness was good, fighting on two fronts would cause problems."Coach Zhang said with some worry.
Xiao Zhan was very optimistic. While comforting Coach Zhang, he also comforted the fans watching the game.
"Chen Huan didn't play the full game in the last match, so the head coach asked him to rest. Van Gaal is also a famous coach, he would understand this principle."
……
Burnley's head coach did not seem to have guessed before the game that Van Gaal would let Chen Huan start, so he was stunned when he saw Chen Huan holding the hand of the ball boy and walking out of the player tunnel.
In his and his coaching staff's judgment, Chen Huan will appear on the roster, but as a substitute, and only when Manchester United falls behind will Van Gaal consider sending Chen Huan to the field.
"Hey——"
Burnley's head coach shouted to his players who were lining up to enter the stadium. When the players looked at him, he shouted,"Plan B!"
On the field, all the Burnley players nodded together.
Plan B was the plan that the head coach had made before the game for how their midfield combination should defend against Chen Huan when he came on as a substitute. It seems that it will be advanced now.
With the whistle of the referee on duty, the game officially began.
Burnley kicked off from the center circle, then controlled the ball and attracted Manchester United to"press" out to attack.
The contest between the two sides began at this moment!
Chen Huan made small steps on the field while observing the situation left and right. He found that Burnley's three midfielders, No. 21 Boyd, No. 37 Arfield, and No. 14 David Jones, were standing in a large triangle around him.
Burnley's three midfielders maintained a"corner" shape to run around Chen Huan, which would not affect their participation in the team's pass, but at the same time, they could immediately isolate Chen Huan from other Manchester United players when Manchester United was in control of the ball.
The effect of Burnley's triangle defense was very obvious. Manchester United's midfield and backcourt tried to send the ball to Chen Yu's feet several times, but it was always destroyed by any one of David Jones, Arfield and Boyd.
"This is the art of defense!"On the sidelines, Burnley's head coach smiled and clenched his fists.
The first problem with this defensive formation occurred in the 23rd minute of the first half. Chen Huan took the initiative to retreat and then faked a run to the side, which tricked the three midfielders of Burnley into making a small mistake.
Chen Huan received Rooney's pass from the gap. Facing the pressure from Boyd and Arfield, Chen Huan pretended to break through the middle, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, dribbling the ball from Boyd's side and rushing forward at high speed along the left side. At this moment, Burnley's midfield defense triangle stranglehold formation completely lost its effect.
