I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 3-0 away. The score did not look amazing, but the British media after the game was full of exclamations.

Those who are familiar with Manchester United know what this score means to this game.

This is a game that is almost played by Manchester United's second team!

Manchester United, who played with most of the substitute lineup, defeated Villa in an away game. This is really scary!

Although Villa has been a Premier League relegation team in recent years, Villa has always been a strong team throughout the history of the Premier League, especially the entire history of England's top league.

In the 141-year history of the team, Villa has achieved many honors. These include a Champions League title, 7 English top league titles, 7 FA Cup titles, and 5 English League Cup titles.

It can be said that in the old League One era, Villa was the second group of teams after the overlord Liverpool, and was on an equal footing with Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton.

Although after entering the Premier League era, the Villars have never won the English top league championship, but in the first season after the establishment of the Premier League, the Villars almost overturned Manchester United and snatched the first Premier League trophy .

If that happens, the history of the Premier League era may be rewritten.

However, Villa is still one of the seven teams that have participated in all 24 Premier League seasons since the establishment of the Premier League, and it is also recognized as one of the backbone of the Premier League.

Many Manchester United fans expressed emotion after the game: When did Manchester United become so strong that they could beat a Premier League team like Villa with a big score with a substitute lineup?

Manchester United fans themselves are like this, so the surprise of other media and fans can be imagined.

………………

After less than 5 days of rest, Manchester United ushered in the third round of the Premier League.

At 7:45 p.m. Beijing time on August 22nd and 12:45 p.m. British local time, Manchester United will be at Old Trafford to face the Magpies Newcastle United.

This is the first game of this round of the Premier League.

After the adjustment of several games since the beginning of the season, Ye Su has allowed the team to recover from the fatigue caused by the constant long journey.

This also allowed Manchester United to finally face their opponents in their strongest state.

However, something that gave Ye Su a headache also happened, and he didn't know how to deploy his troops.

The back line is okay, especially in the midfield. Everyone is strong, and their status has also improved recently.

Mata, De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandez, who is the best partner with whom?

Rooney, Kane, Vardy, who can occupy Manchester United's starting center position?

Listening to Ye Su's bitterness at the pre-match press conference, the reporters at the scene were full of black lines, and the head coaches of the other 19 teams who followed Manchester United off the field were all chanting three words in their hearts: MMP, pretend Persecution!

But these people misunderstood Ye Su. At this time, Ye Su was really having a headache about how to arrange the starting lineup.

After much deliberation, Ye Su still came up with a lineup of 433 with double front midfielders.

The goalkeeper position, De Gea returned to the starting lineup; the four backs from left to right are Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Kyle Walker,

Kanter serves as the single midfielder, De Bruyne and Mata partner as the midfielder, and Rooney, Kane and Vardy are the strikers. However, Ye Su did not specify which of the three will play the center forward, but asked the three to be on the court Change positions more often to help teammates stretch space.

………………

In the first two rounds of the new Premier League season, Manchester United defeated Tottenham and Aston Villa 1:0 and 3:0 respectively, becoming one of only 4 teams with two consecutive victories. In the middle of the week, the Red Devils also went to Georgia to participate in the UEFA Super Cup. In a goal shootout, they beat Cosmos Barcelona 5:4 and won their fifth major championship in 2015.

Compared with Manchester United's triumphant progress, the situation of the Magpies is not so wonderful. In the first two rounds, Newcastle had 1 draw and 1 loss. The team's situation at the beginning of the season was grim.

In history, the two sides had a total of 161 confrontation records. Manchester United had the upper hand with 83 wins, 37 draws and 41 losses, scoring 316 goals and conceding 230 goals. Among them, against the Magpies at home, Manchester United achieved 50 wins, 20 draws and 10 losses, scoring 185 goals and conceding 87 goals.

The two teams have won the last three times against Manchester United, and Ye Su has won two games against the Magpies.

At the start of the game, Newcastle took the lead, but Manchester United broke the deadlock in the third minute.

De Bruyne received a pass from Mata in the middle, picked the ball directly past Newcastle's defense without stopping, and passed it straight to Rooney who advanced forward.

Rooney hit the penalty area and scored the ball with a single chance. This season is finally broken in the Premier League.

Of course, in fact, it is not a shortage of balls for Rooney, because this is only his second Premier League game this season.

This is also Rooney's 207th Premier League goal scored. While widening the gap with former Manchester United legendary striker Andy Cole behind him, he is also continuing to approach Alan Shearer's record of 260 Premier League goals. .

At the same time, this is also Lu Xiaopang's 274th game goal for Manchester United, continuing to rewrite his record for Manchester United's history.

Because of the explosion last season, Manchester United scored a record 43 goals on all fronts throughout the season, which not only surpassed Ronaldo's original record of 42 goals in the season, but also made Rooney surpass the club's pass shooter Cha Sir Leonton created the club's historical scoring record of 249 goals for Manchester United in the main game, and soon left Sir Charlton's record behind.

………………

Manchester United, who made a fantastic start, continued to put pressure on Newcastle's goal.

After the re-kick-off, Manchester United quickly intercepted Newcastle's possession of the ball. Kanter intercepted the ball and passed the ball to Rooney.

Lu Xiaopang was full of confidence. After receiving the pass from Kanter, he shot a long shot. Unfortunately, this time he kicked too straight and was confiscated by Newcastle goalkeeper Krul.

In the 10th minute, Kyle Walker went forward from the right and was brought down by Perez. Manchester United got a good chance to set the ball outside the penalty area on the right. Mata hit the goal with a curved ball. Unhappy, hugged by Krull.

...

The game was going on in a fast transition of offense and defense, and the time passed quickly.

But Ye Su soon discovered a problem, that is, Manchester United's offensive play was lively, but there were very few shots that really threatened Newcastle's goal.

What caused this situation was that the positions of Rooney and Kane overlapped somewhat.

Although Ye Su arranged before the game to require the forward tridents to switch positions, and they did do so after their debut, Ye Su still found that Rooney and Kane habitually leaned towards the middle, squeezing each other Press the opponent's position.

Therefore, only Vardy is the one who really pulls the sidelines frequently. This guy moved erratically, left and right so that the opponent's defensive players were a little at a loss, and he found many chances to shoot.

But fortunately, Newcastle's goalkeeper Krul performed very well today and blocked Vardy's shots several times.

Regarding the position of Rooney and Kane, Ye Su had already expected it. Rooney regarded himself as Manchester United's center forward, basically staying in the middle and not moving. Although Kane pulled the side according to the arrangement of the head coach Ye Su, but he was not born to play as a winger, and the effect of pulling the side was not good, so he subconsciously walked in the middle.

It was precisely because he had anticipated this situation that Ye Su had such a headache about the arrangement of appearances before the game.

Although a request was made to switch the positions of the forward trident, these arrangements may not be useful when the game actually starts. The subconscious actions of the players are the key to truly affecting the game.

Do you want to adjust your position on the field?

Ye Su was a little hesitant.

………………

Just when Ye Su hesitated, Newcastle took advantage of Manchester United's sluggish attack and launched a counterattack.

In the 23rd minute, Mbemba passed the ball into the penalty area, Mitrovic shook his head and hit the goal, and the ball hit the crossbar!

The muffled sound of the ball colliding with the crossbar also woke Ye Su up: the offense must be adjusted!

He made a decisive decision and asked Vardy to go to the right midfielder position. Manchester United changed to 442, and the midfielders Kanter, De Bruyne, Vardy and Mata formed a diamond-shaped position.

Since both Rooney and Kane are used to playing in the middle, let them both play in the middle.

Vardy was still very obedient, and after receiving Ye Su's instructions, he quickly went to the right.

In this way, the position problem of Rooney and Kane is solved. The two played double center forwards, but Kane was on the left and Rooney was on the right.

The formation changed, De Bruyne became the left midfielder, Mata became the midfielder behind Rooney and Kane, and Vardy was on the right.

However, this formation Manchester United has hardly played since Ye Su took over, so the players were in a state of adaptation in the rest of the first half, so in the next 20 minutes, the effect of the game was still not good. Fortunately, the players have found their positions, and the situation on the court has been controlled, and Newcastle has no longer caused a direct threat to Manchester United's goal.

When the referee blew the halftime whistle, the score remained at 1:0, and Manchester United took the lead with Rooney's goal shortly after the opening.

During the intermission, commentators and guests including the BBC, Sky Sports, and the domestic broadcaster Xinying Sports were all talking about the problems that occurred in the first half of Manchester United.

The opinions of these people are relatively consistent, that is, Manchester United's three-forward arrangement at the beginning of the game caused a conflict between Kane and Rooney's position, which also made Manchester United play in the first half of the first half. But failed to really threaten Newcastle's goal.

If it hadn't been for Newcastle's unstable opening opportunity, De Bruyne's exquisite pass helped Rooney score a goal in lightning, and the score in the first half should have been 0:0.

However, Ye Su's adjustment was still very timely. After he discovered the problem, he let Vardy go to the right. Manchester United changed to the 442 formation that they used to play in the Ferguson era, and the situation on the field gradually tilted towards Manchester United.

As long as Manchester United adapts to the formation, it will be a matter of time before they expand their field advantage in the second half, and even further expand their lead.
