The Strongest Demon Front

"Davis has the ball. Kante goes up and presses. Before Kante can get close, Davies passes the ball. Now the ball is at the feet of Gabbiadini."

"Gabbiadini forced Smalling, but it didn't work. He knocked the football across the middle and Tadic got the ball."

"Beautiful! Tadic sent a through ball, the ball went between Smalling's legs, and Gabbiadini sprinted behind him. Southampton played a wonderful combination in front of the United box. It was a time. Great chance to score!"

"Manolas! Ness Manolas!"

"Just when the ball was about to pass to Gabbiadini, Manolas suddenly appeared. He rushed over, took the first kick, and lifted the ball out of the touchline. It would have been a very good attacking combination for Southampton, but in the end , Southampton didn't even get a corner kick because of Manolas' excellent defense, they only got a throw-in. After struggling through the first few games, Manolas started to improve, he The performance is getting better and better. This is good news for Manchester United!"

When the football was thrown out of bounds, the commentator at Wembley Stadium replayed the scene that had just happened.

He was full of praise for Manolas' performance.

field.

De Gea gave Manolas a thumbs up.

"Good job, buddy!"

De Gea is very happy.

In the entire first half of the game, Southampton only had two shots on Manchester United's goal.

This was unimaginable before.

De Gea is even a little uncomfortable.

In this game, his defender friends performed very well and did not give the Southampton forwards too many opportunities.

Manchester United's defense has become more solid.

De Gea is naturally happy and relaxed.

Kanter also looked at Manolas.

Before moving to Manchester United, Kante never thought he would be so tired. Kante covered more distance at United than at Leicester.

However, the team's defense did not do better than Leicester City.

Kanter once wondered if he had become a fake Kanter.

Why was he still a defensive champion when he was in Leicester City, the first player in the Premier League to intercept and steal. After coming to Manchester United, which is more famous, he worked harder, but the team's defensive effect seemed to be even worse, which made his confidence a little hit.

but.

This situation began to change after Manolas joined the team.

After the initial discomfort, Manolas began to fully demonstrate his personal ability. And his cooperation with Kanter on the defensive line not only relieved Kanter's burden, but also made Manchester United's defense more stable.

Although there are still inconsistencies,

Although there is still room for improvement,

But the team's defensive ability is increasing, this is an indisputable fact.

Like De Gea, Kante quickly learned how important it was to have a solid defensive partner.

Even Smalling, the defender dubbed the captain by Manchester United fans, has begun to become more reliable.

With Manolas' replacement, Smalling's excellent frontal defense began to show.

...

"Manolas is getting better and better now, and the team's defense is beginning to benefit. It seems that our strategy of strengthening the central defender is correct."

Bald Phelan said beside Ferguson.

Ferguson nodded.

"Kanter intercepted and protected the midfielder, Manolas blocked the backcourt, and De Gea guarded the last pass. The team's defensive system was slowly built. The central axis was stable, and even the defense of other players became stronger. More reliable, this is the positive effect brought by the core players."

Phelan pointed to the situation on the field and analyzed it to Ferguson.

Ferguson continued to nod.

"Facts have proved that expensive players are always expensive for a reason." He couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Both Kanter and Manolas spent a lot of transfer fees for Manchester United, and De Gea's worth is also very high.

These expensive players,

They are all proving their worth.

When it comes to high social status, Ferguson couldn't help but look to the frontcourt.

The corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

The most expensive player in football today is wearing the No. 7 jersey of Manchester United.

And this deal, which seemed like a gamble at the time, is now proving its worth.

"However, it is not enough to have Manolas alone. My opinion is that after the end of the season, if Van Dijk recovers from injury, we still have to do our best to win him. If we can win Van Dijk, it will not only increase the strength of the defense , It can also seriously setback the signing plans of competitors..."

Phelan tirelessly continued to persuade Ferguson.

He is very optimistic about Van Dijk.

Ferguson waved his hand and interrupted Phelan, the dog-headed strategist, "Those are things after the end of the season. Now focus on this game."

Hearing what Ferguson said, Phelan didn't say any more. He continued to follow the game.

At this time, Ferguson turned his attention to the stands of Wembley Stadium.

He knew Van Dijk was sitting in the stands.

...

Cedric kicked the shovel and destroyed the football from Chu Ge's feet, and brought Chu Ge to the ground by the way.

After getting up, Cedric walked to Chu Ge's side immediately and extended his hand friendly.

Chu Ge stood up with Cedric's arm.

Although there was confrontation, the atmosphere was still harmonious.

Chu Ge didn't care about his opponent's infringement.

Since his fame has grown, the opponent has targeted him more and more.

The characteristic of the Premier League is that the scale of physical confrontation is relatively loose.

Under such circumstances, Chu Ge will naturally often encounter relatively large defensive moves by his opponents.

Chu Ge is used to it.

As long as the opponent doesn't foul maliciously, he doesn't care.

Playing in such an environment, Chu Ge is also learning how to better protect himself.

Ibrahimovic came over.

"Expand some running ranges, and we will change positions in due course."

He covered his mouth and communicated with Chu Ge.

During this period of time, Chu Ge was closely guarded, his performance was limited, and Manchester United's offensive also came to a standstill.

As Manchester United's most experienced player in the frontcourt, Ibrahimovic began to actively seek solutions.

Chu Ge nodded.

He followed Ibrahimovic's advice.

courtside.

Southampton coach Pierre has been quiet for a while.

"If we are only behind by one goal, in the second half, how should we equalize or even overtake the score? Manchester United always conceded goals in previous games. As long as we can stabilize the situation, we still have a chance."

He kept using his brain.

thinking.

At this time, Manchester United counterattacked.

Pogba made a long pass from the backcourt and kicked the football to the right.

Pierre looked in the direction of the football flight.

"Um?"

He was slightly taken aback.

It was not Chu Ge who appeared on the right side of the court, but Ibrahimovic.
