Less than 72 hours after returning to Manchester from Stoke City, Manchester United ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

In this game, Ye Su rotated all 11 starters. The new starting 11 is goalkeeper Dean Henderson, defenders Ashley Young, Koulibaly, Phil Jones and Smalling, and a midfield three of Fellaini, McTominay and Bruno Fernandes , the striker trident is Lingard, Mbappé and Vardy.

Karabak is a powerhouse in the Azerbaijani league, and their rise has been in recent years.

In 2008, the former team coach Rasim Kara suddenly switched to another team in Azerbaijan, Hazar Lenkoran, one week before the start of the 2008-2009 season. He took over the position of head coach of the team.

Guyabanlov abandoned the strategy of vigorously introducing foreign aid inherent in the original Azerbaijani league, and instead focused on the training of local players. In addition, Guyabanlov also changed the team's style to tiki-taka, a tactical system based on short passes and possession.

Under the leadership of Guyabanlov, Karabak won three consecutive victories in the European war, and thus became one of the most successful Azerbaijani teams in the European war. They defeated the Norwegian giants Rosenborg Football Club in two rounds in the Europa League qualifying round, and then eliminated the Finnish Honka Football Club, and finally entered the final of the Europa League qualifying round.

The outstanding performance in the European war also made Guyabanlov the most successful club head coach in the history of Azerbaijan football.

This season, Karabak has entered the Champions League race all the way, becoming the first team in Azerbaijan's history to participate in the Champions League.

………………

Years of coaching have allowed Guyabanlov to establish absolute prestige in Karabag, and he has become the godfather of the team. At the same time, it also gave him a lot of confidence, even if the opponent is the super giant Red Devils Manchester United, of course, when Manchester United rotated the starting 11 players.

Guyabanlov believes that this is the best time for him to lead his team to score the first point or even the first victory in the Champions League.

After the UEFA Champions League grouping was released this season, Karabag is in a group with Manchester United, Atletico Madrid and Roma. Compared with the other three giants, it is difficult for Karabag to compete with other teams in terms of strength, fame and history. Compared. All the European media and all the European gaming companies looked down on Karabag, thinking that they were the big fish in Group C, and their only mission was to give points to the three giants.

This kind of argument makes Guyabanov very dissatisfied, especially today's opponent Manchester United, their young Chinese coach actually rotated 11 starting players in the league last weekend,

This was considered by Guyabanov as Ye Su's contempt for him and Karabak, and he decided to give Ye Su a good look.

Of course, before the game, Guyabanov was very low-key, complimenting Ye Su and Manchester United vigorously. The purpose was naturally to make Manchester United underestimate the enemy and make Ye Su despise Qarabag even more.

………………

The game has been going on for more than twenty minutes.

Qarabag coach Guyabanov frowned and sat in the coach's seat.

Guyabanov was somewhat disapproving of Ye Su's formation, but this did not mean that he was not prepared for the game. In fact, Guyabanov carefully studied Manchester United's tactics and tactics before the game. Played well, and made some targeted deployments.

Of course, in Guyabanov's view, his team still has to be dominated by me.

This is the most suitable choice when a strong side is facing a relatively weak side: just crush and push over.

When it was hot, Karabag was still unable to achieve the crushing advantage over Manchester United, even if this Manchester United had an all-substitute lineup. Therefore, targeted deployment is still required.

However, after the game started, Guyabanov found that he was facing a somewhat unfamiliar Manchester United. The targeted training and arrangements he made for Karabakh before the game were all useless.

This is not the big problem. The biggest problem is that he found himself seeing a Qarabag team that even the head coach felt strange to him.

………………

Lineker, who was in charge of explaining the game, could also see the situation and situation on the field.

"Manchester United today feels a bit strange to me," Lineker said. "But at this point, strange is not a derogatory term. They played great. Although it was a Manchester United with all substitutes, they did not retreat. On the contrary, they played more proactively. Facing such a Manchester United team, Qarabag was obviously unprepared, and they played a little chaotically."

Lineker's statement made sense, but it was not precise enough.

Ye Su sat on the coach's bench and nodded in satisfaction. The players showed the effect of the targeted training against Karabak in the past few days.

The most fundamental reason for Karabak's current chaos is that their rhythm is frequently disrupted!

Guyabanov emphasized that his team is dominated by me, which means that the team plays according to its own rhythm: a mature team has its own customary rhythm and tactical inertia.

However, today, the rhythm that Qarabag is most accustomed to has been fragmented by Manchester United's tight press.

This is not a blind man-to-man press, but a more active press on the basis of a solid defense line, and the timing is also appropriate.

Compared with Manchester United's previous scrambling tactics, this is an improvement in level, just like top-notch micromanagement, every shot is found on the goal.

It is worth mentioning that Karabak's core midfielder, Richard, was also restricted to the greatest extent, and did not play the role and ability shown in previous games.

Especially Fellaini, he did a good job of defending Richard, and repeatedly resolved the crisis ahead of time, which made Ye Su's eyes shine. Fellaini's state today is quite good, and he has improved again.

………………

Twenty-eight minutes into the game, the score is still 0:0.

Ye Su stood up satisfied. After Karabag's rhythm was completely disrupted, he played more and more chaotically. Now it is rare to even pass the ball with more than three feet...

The time is almost up. The work I did before was to disrupt Qarabag's rhythm. This is the most important first step. Only when this step is done well can Manchester United truly control the initiative of the game.

Now that the goal of the first step has been achieved, it is time for Manchester United to show their fangs.

Ye Su didn't yell, that's not the demeanor of a famous coach, he walked to the sidelines, put his right index finger to his lips, and whistled crisply: You can speed up!

Bruno Fernandez immediately turned his head to look, and gave the coach a thumbs up, meaning: Received!

Almost at the same time, Qarabag coach Guyabanov finally couldn't sit still. He walked to the sidelines, shouted loudly, and pushed his hands forward: attack! attack! Don't worry! Don't worry! Attack patiently!

Hearing the coach's roar and seeing the coach jumping up and down anxiously, the players were also confused: Are you asking us to be anxious? Still in a hurry?

The Spanish midfielder Michel, who took the ball in the midfield, was going to control it, but, listening to the roar of the coach, he could only choose to move forward. He looked up and then sent a through ball to Richard. .

Richard was about to catch the ball, but Fellaini, who had been eyeing him for a long time, broke the ball with a beautiful sliding tackle.

"Beautiful! Fellaini! This Belgian midfielder, who rarely played in the first two years of the Yesu era, is playing better and better this season!"

After stealing the ball, Fellaini gave the ball to McTominay, who dropped back to meet him. The latter immediately transferred the football to Bruno Fernandez, who was active on the right. Bruno Fernandez made a beautiful handicap, avoiding Karabag left back Zenisak who hastily came up to press, and then went straight at high speed.

Poor Zenisak's slow turn was exposed, and by the time he turned around and wanted to catch up, Bruno Fernandez had already left him far behind.

Bruno Fernandez, who was racing all the way along the right, faced the Qarabag defender who came out in a panic to fill his position. He made a gesture to cut inside, but took advantage of the opportunity and passed a beautiful curve ball into the penalty area.

Vardy, who won the Champions League start for the first time in this game, and started as a center, squeezed away another defender, jumped up abruptly, and made a beautiful lion head shake.

This is really a powerful header. With the sound of the wind, the football passed through the fingers of Karabakh goalkeeper Ceciqi, and quickly swept into the net, making a crisp "crack".

The ball went in!

1:0!

Bruno Fernandez sent an assist, Vardy scored and Manchester United took the lead at home!

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!" Lineker shouted a long tone GOAL, "Beautiful header! Vardy's goal was assisted by Bruno Fernandez! The Portuguese teenager has performed very well this season! 1 :0, Manchester United leads Qarabag at home!"

"Here, I have to praise the head coach of Manchester United, Mr. Ye Su. He just made an adjustment and the team scored a goal." Lineker applauded the home team coach, "Admirable on-the-spot scheduling, he You must have been keenly aware of Karabakh's loopholes just now, and hit it with one blow!"

The camera showed a close-up of Manchester United's head coach, Ye Su looked at the field calmly, not surprised by all this.

In fact, it was the same. Ye Su really didn't pay attention to Karabak. Although the opponent is a strong team from Azerbaijan, for Manchester United, the strength is too poor.

In today's game, although he rotated the 11 starters in last weekend's league, only Ye Su knows best that the strength of this Manchester United team is not weak. In short, let alone Karabag!
