As soon as the starting list for this game was announced, the starters of the two teams surprised people, Mourinho and Lu Wei invariably chose a more similar 4231 formation, and the players on the field of both teams have a lot in common in terms of staffing.

Goalkeeper David. De Gea and Edward. Mendy has always been the team's unshakable number one goalkeeper and is a goalkeeper with excellent saving skills and reflexes.

Right-back Valencia and Tavernir are also all-round right-backs who stick to the wing and have strong assists, while left-backs Robertson and Ashley Young are also veterans of their respective teams, Robertson is the captain of the Red Rebels and Ashley Young is the vice-captain of the Red Devils.

Centre-backs Smalling and Harry Maguire are both 1.94m tall, Victor Lindelof and Tarkovski are about the same height, and one of the main players in the back line is a new signing this season.

Manchester United's Nemanja Matic and FC United's Matuidi both came to Manchester this season, and in China, one is nicknamed "horse forward" and the other is called "horse retreat", which can be regarded as a little fate.

Both horse team's midfield partners are young players who have entered the team's first team this season, Manchester United's own academy developed Scott. Scott McTominay and Declan, brought in from West Ham United. Rice.

Right wingers Alexis Sanchez and Lozano are both from the American continent, left wingers Anthony Martial and Saint-Maximin are both nimble Frenchmen at their feet, and centre-forwards Romelu Lukaku and Olivier Giroud, although not a type, are all-round centre-forwards who can sacrifice for the team as a whole.

The only thing that doesn't quite resemble either team is the attacking midfielder, Paul. Pogba is further back in the position, but he likes to push the ball to complete the shot, and Maddison has become more and more like an eight-position midfielder under Lu Wei's tutelage in the past two years, but his ability to make the last pass has not declined, and he has double-doubled assists every season.

Manchester United has no secrets in front of FC United, and now FC United has no secrets in front of Manchester United, compared with last year's Carabao Cup final, FC United have almost no tricks to use, this season is to wrestle with Manchester United.

Although the tactical formations of the two teams are similar, they both hide hidden tricks against each other's weaknesses.

Manchester United's two full-backs have long been famous in the fan world, two of the "Manchester United Dark Four" are now the two captains of Manchester United, Ashley Yang's speed is a hard injury, FC United here sent Lozano with super speed and explosiveness, Valencia is fast and technical, then Lu Wei sent St. Maximin who spends more foot work than Neymar.

Manchester United's full-backs are their weakness, it has not been a year or two, and Lu Wei also knows that if you want to win Manchester United, you can't rely on defense alone, you have to rely on attack to win. In this game, the focus of FC United's attack was not on Giroud or Madison, but on Lozano on the right.

"I allow you not to play defensively in this game, your only task this game is to use speed to take Ashley after receiving a pass from a teammate. Yang gave me a burst. After the breakthrough, whether it is inside or cross, you choose, but pay attention to less high-altitude passes, their two central defenders are very strong air defense, Oliver's foot skills are also very good, pass low flat ball has a better chance. "

This is the task that Lu Wei assigned to Lozano before the start of the game.

In the pre-match preparation training, Lu Weijinchenko's style characteristics happened to be the same as Ashley. Young is more similar, has excellent passing skills, and is also a winger, but his own speed is not very fast, which is perfect for Lozano as an imaginary enemy in practice.

FC United put the breakthrough of the game on the wing, Mourinho put the winner of the game in the middle, since the new season, FC United has been scored the most goals in the middle of the top four teams, the cooperation between Maguire and teammates is not very tacit, although the personal defensive awareness is very strong, but in luck is not very good, often by the opponent to seize the opportunity to complete the score.

And FC United's back, Isaac. Hayden is also not a first-class player, and although the defense is solid, it is somewhat too modest, and the problem of limited strength has been exposed in some key games.

So Manchester United's tactical focus is centered on Pogba, Sanchez, Martial and Lukaku take turns attacking FC United's central field, but what Mourinho did not expect was that Hayden, who has always been the main back, did not appear in the starting lineup, and Matuidi was partnered by 18-year-old Declan. Rice.

Rice is very athletic, and whether it is passive retreat or active grabbing success rate is very high, although it is still a little young, but in the internal training, the Red Rebels have recognized his ability, Lu Wei also intends to slowly correct him in the second half of the season as the starting back of FC United.

Rice is also one of the few FC United players that Mourinho does not know, but Lu Wei has a surprise soldier, he also has it, this game is Scott McTominay's second start for the team this season, in Mourinho's view, Lu Wei's understanding of him is limited to those more than ten English letters.

But this is Mourinho's miscalculation, as a crazy Manchester United diehard in his previous life, how could Lu Wei not know about this player with Red Devil genes, as early as 2013, when McTominay was still in the Manchester United reserve team, Lu Wei noticed him.

So Mourinho's all-arm punch is not destined to have the effect he wants.

In terms of odd moves, Lu Wei won by a small margin, but in Yang Mou, Lu Wei had to be careful with Pogba and Lukaku, these two years were the best period of their careers, in the World Cup soon after, one scored in the final and lifted the Hercules Cup, the other followed the Belgian golden generation to win the World Cup third place, and now Rice will definitely not be able to prevent Manchester United.

Matuidi will definitely have no time to distract himself in this game, and assisting his national team teammates is his task in this game, and Lukaku is handed over to Maguire, who has the same weight as him.

Although the formation is 4231, the two managers have hidden thousands of eight hundred hearts in places that fans can't see, although FC United is not as good as Manchester United on paper, but Lu Wei firmly believes that the competitive state of FC United's players is now stronger than Manchester United.
