Red Rebels

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the players on both sides walked back to their rest areas.

The new Manchester United players were all gasping for breath. In this fast-paced fight, their physical energy was exhausted very quickly, but they still couldn't find too many ways, so they could only keep following the opponent's rhythm.

"Our team still lacks a core player who can hold the ball in the midfield!" Xiao Yu muttered to himself.

Although Smith is good, his skills are actually not outstanding. He used to play as a midfielder and has a lot of physical strength, but he can't do it at all if he is asked to organize and direct the team's offense.

But now in the new Manchester United team, he is the most qualified for this role. If Ma Jinson is replaced, he may not even be able to pass the ball in place. However, Ma Jinson's defensive ability is very strong, after all, he is physically strong.

Although it is said that in Xiao Yu's previous life, Manchester United's non-nuclear tactics reached the pinnacle. The whole team constantly opened up the opponent's space through excellent off-ball running, constantly created opportunities, and then defeated the opponent, but that was made by Ferguson for many years. Created by replacement and continuous improvement.

In contrast to the current new Manchester United, the players' personal ability is too weak, and their understanding and implementation of tactics are not strong enough. Stalking opponents can easily be dragged away by the nose.

If at this time, a player who can control the rhythm can appear in the midfield, then the process of the game will be completely different.

"Although I don't have a deep understanding of professional football tactics, I can see that Glossop suppressed the new Manchester United's performance throughout the first half. If Steve can't think of a way to solve it, I'm afraid this game will not be good. Already!" Derek also looked worried.

Not much else to say, just look at the fact that the new Manchester United players are obviously showing symptoms of excessive physical exertion, especially Karl Makinson and Darren Lyons. The former is running all over the field and exhausting too much physical strength , the latter is too old, both are 32 years old, and the new Manchester United has not scientifically guaranteed his training intensity, so his state and physical fitness cannot be guaranteed.

This is another big shortcoming of the small team!

Even Derek could see the problem, and it was impossible for Bruce, who was standing on the sidelines, not to see it.

But just as Xiao Yu said, in the current situation, the best way is to find a player who can control the tempo, stabilize his own tempo, and slowly use the overall advantage to overwhelm the opponent, but where is the new Manchester United? Kind of people?

The rest time passed minute by minute. Bruce was always standing outside the rest area, and the players sat inside, quietly waiting for the head coach to come over and explain the tactics for the second half.

"Ricky!" Bruce suddenly shouted to the substitute players who were warming up on the court.

Rich Wellens was a little surprised, but hurried over, a little excited, "Sir!"

Evra's expression darkened in the rest area.

Since the brilliant game against Arsenal, he has been given the opportunity to start consecutively, and his performance has been very good. Recently, he has been asking Lyons for advice, and after each training session, he has added to himself Some training tasks, although I dare not say that they have made great progress, are at least satisfactory.

But his performance in the first half was really not very good, and he couldn't give full play to his advantages at all.

Is the head coach going to replace himself?

Roy Williams in the distance looked excited, because according to the convention, once Ricky Wellens played, the defenders there would definitely choose him with stronger defense.

"You watched the entire first half of the game. I won't say much. You go up in the second half and play left midfielder. Remember, you don't have to worry about anything. Use your speed to attack the opponent's defense. In the middle area, I will give you absolute freedom!"

What Bruce said shocked even Ricky Wellens,

This is putting all the bets on turning the situation around on him alone.

The other players have also received Bruce's gesture and gathered together.

"Patrice!" Bruce yelled.

Evra walked out between Lyons and Makinson in response, and the latter two patted the unlucky guy's shoulder and head comfortingly. Obviously, everyone thought that Evra would be replaced in the second half .

"Are you okay?" Bruce asked curiously.

Evra's originally dead heart rekindled the fire of hope, "Sir, I... I can!"

"Can you run the entire second half?" Bruce asked again.

Evra nodded without thinking, and said firmly, "Yes!"

Bruce pulled him to his side at once, because he was a full head taller than Evra, so he was a little shorter, "Okay, Patrice, you will continue to be your left back in the second half, you should know that we In the current situation, I don't have much choice, so I can only put the responsibility on you!"

Evra's body trembled all of a sudden, "I...what am I going to do?"

"Ricky will attack the opponent's defense. You run with him. Remember how Coach Cassell taught you to run with him during training?"

"Well, remember!" Evra was clearly impressed by that training.

"Okay, Patrice, just run like that!" After finishing speaking, Bruce punched Evra in the chest encouragingly.

"Okay, guys!" Bruce clapped his hands, motioning for everyone to pay attention, "We were suppressed by the opponent in the first half, and the opponent deliberately accelerated the tempo, so we will follow their wishes. In the second half, we will focus on the left. Once you get the ball, don't think too much about it, pass it to the left, to Ricky."

After finishing speaking, Bruce pointed to Ricky Wellens, "Ricky, you are the core of our offense. You are full of energy now. You need to run more, give full play to your speed advantage, run as much as you can, and run as much as you can when you see gaps." Where to run, open the gap for the teammates behind you, create opportunities, understand?"

Rich Wellens nodded heavily.

"Darren, I'm sorry, you have to rest in the second half. I can see that your physical strength is almost exhausted. In the second half, we have to compete with our opponents. I can only say sorry to you!" Bruce walked to Lyons In front of you, hold his hand.

This veteran has performed very well this season, and it can even be said to be the best season of his career. Although he is only in the Northwest Division B, it can be seen that he still has a certain strength.

"Stephen, you stay a little to the right and cooperate with Frank to defend the right. Carl, you have to take care of the left. Once Rich and Patrice are up, you have to help me close the back door for them, understand?"

The few people who had assigned the task immediately nodded in unison.

"Okay, guys, there are 45 minutes left, let's go on the court to overthrow the opponent, and then we will be the champion!" Bruce cheered on the players vigorously, and sent them to the football field.

…………

…………

Glossop was obviously surprised that Rich replaced Lyons, because in the very little information they collected about the new Manchester United, Rich and Evra had never partnered before, and now they let They play together?

But soon, at the beginning of the second half, Rich used his speed to pull out the gap. Jonathan headed the ball and went out of bounds. opponent!

Unlike the first half of the game, which was generally entangled in the area around the center circle, from the beginning of the second half of the game, both teams invested in the left side of the new Manchester United. Obviously, they also saw that Rich and Evra were both strong offensively and weak defensively. type of player.

However, because Karl Makinson got the emphatic arrangement of Bruce, he always made up for them after the two advanced, so that Glossop has never been able to tear open the gap from the left, even if he occasionally burst in once or twice, They were also intercepted by Gareth Turner in time and the threat was lifted.

Just as Glossop couldn't penetrate the new Manchester United's defense, the new Manchester United also couldn't get rid of Glossop's defense. The two teams seemed to be facing each other.

Ricky Wellens' speed is very fast, but his skills are as rough as most of the English amateur players. Once he receives the ball, it is difficult to control it, and then becomes a threat, so he is easily destroyed by the opponent Or cut off.

Evra ran back and forth again and again, but it was difficult for the ball to pass from the hands of Rich or Smith to his position. Even if he sometimes realized his running position, the passed ball basically failed to come To Evra's feet.

Without Lyons, Evra's forward drive lost a lot of power.

But it may be because of this that Glossop tried several times in Evra. After the new Manchester United wasted nearly 20 minutes, they began to neglect the defense of Evra.

Smith's oblique pass was late again and was intercepted by the opponent's full-back in time, and the long pass was cleared.

Although he ran for nearly 30 meters in vain, Evra still gave his teammates a thumbs up, panting heavily.

In the humid climate of Manchester, even breathing is more laborious than usual, let alone running constantly.

"Damn it, it's not an option to continue like this!" As he slowly ran towards the backcourt, he thought to himself.

Just at this time, Ma Jinson tackled the opponent's pass out of bounds, forming a foul ball.

"Ricky!" Evra yelled when he saw Rich coming towards him, and there was no one around.

"What's the matter? Patrice, are you out of strength?" Rich asked with a wry smile.

"Continuing like this is not an option, even Iron Man can't hold it."

"Then what do you say?" Richie leaned closer.

Evra leaned over, and the two chewed their ears for a while.

"is this okay?"

"Come on, buddy, Coach Cassel also said that when necessary, the running and tactics can be adapted to the situation. We don't have to stick to the same set in training, do we?"

Richie hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Evra immediately raised his right hand towards Jonathan in the distance, who also raised his hand in response, and then clenched his fist, as if to say, as long as you can pass it, I can smash it into the goal.

In fact, Evra has indeed passed a lot of good goals to Jonathan in the last few games.

Glossop's throw-in cross was headed out of the box by Danny Collins and fell to Makinson, who immediately passed it to Smith.

Smith looked up and found Richie, Jonathan and David Bell in the frontcourt all started running forward, and Evra on the left was also running.

This is an opportunity! Smith thought.
