What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 447: Tenacious Manchester United (Daily Transition)

As autumn approaches, more and more leaves fall at the Cobham training base.

Chelsea players are doing warm-up exercises.

"More than a decade ago, I asked Totti how he could date five female stars at the same time."

"Five hot female stars!"

"He told me that if I saw a girl I liked on TV, I should call her immediately."

"So one day, I called her exactly as I did."

"Guess what the result was?"

"The female star said to me: Oh! Totti, you really imitate Buffon's tone!"

"Hahaha. Why don't you laugh? Isn't it funny?"

Buffon's hearty laughter startled the two magpies on the treetops and made them fly away.

Dino led the staff to set up obstacles on the training ground. This time it was still a targeted "diamond hexagon", but the range of obstacles was expanded, and the effective attack and defense area of the players would be narrower.

Tuchel put his hands in his pockets, under his black cap, with an unfathomable look on his face.

Manchester United is not weak. Even if they lost to Brighton, they are still third in the Premier League standings.

Weak against weak opponents, strong against strong opponents, the ultimate Hammers.

De Gea has been "honed" to become the goalkeeper ranked first in all data in the five major leagues.

Although he can't pass the ball, he is still a T0-level goalkeeper in the hearts of fans during this historical period.

The front court is as beautiful as a painting, and the back court is De Gea.

Pseudo-core Pogba, real core De Gea.

Various extreme saves make the audience scream with excitement.

Defend against the opponent, defend against Maguire, defend against Lukaku, defend against Luke Shaw, and defend against Smalling.

Just looking at the paper lineup, Manchester United can be said to be star-studded.

Carrington training base.

Surrounded by green trees and beautiful scenery.

"Paul, you almost got late again!"

"You were caught by the paparazzi of The Sun again last night!"

Although The Sun is a toilet paper newspaper, the relationships between men and women reported are generally true.

Facing the ridicule of his teammates, Pogba looked stern and ignored it.

He lives a very disciplined life and only goes to nightclubs twice a week.

His agent Raiola helped him create a perfect public image, but the opinions of the marketing army were not unified: "Pogba never goes to nightclubs" "Pogba and Ronaldinho met in a nightclub, accompanied by beautiful women, and had a good chat. "

"Cheer up."

"We will beat Chelsea at Old Trafford!"

Time is like a turbulent river, and in a blink of an eye, it is a new round of Premier League match day.

The Chelsea bus slowly drove into Old Trafford.

Tuchel, led by the staff, came to the scene of the pre-match press conference.

The reporters paid more attention to Mourinho.

"Again against Chelsea, what do you want to say?"

"Is Manchester United confident that they can withstand Chelsea's blue storm at the Theatre of Dreams?"

"How do you evaluate Chelsea this season? Can Tuchel reproduce the great season of more than ten years ago?"

The Premier League media is very harsh on Manchester United, because the expectations are relatively high, and most people hope that the Red Devils can return to the top, rather than become the soil for gossip resources.

Mourinho's expression was very calm. He pointed at himself and then extended three fingers!

VIP box.

76-year-old Ferguson took a sip of red wine.

It was really wine.

In recent years, whenever Manchester United lost, he would vent his anger by drinking. Occasionally, when Manchester United won, he would invite opponents or old friends to have a drink.

As for the habit of inviting opponent coaches to drink every game, he no longer maintained it after retirement.

Old Trafford itself provides wine to guests, but it must be removed fifteen minutes before the game.

"I remember Lee's Champions League debut was at Old Trafford."

"It was the Champions League qualifying play-off two years ago, Sir"

"Qualifying play-off"

Unpleasant memories will be filtered out by the brain.

Looking at the sea of red in front of him.

Ferguson, the former ruler of the Red Devils dynasty, never thought that Manchester United's dominance would decline to such a level after his retirement.

Player tunnel.

Players from both sides greeted each other.

Too familiar.

Especially Matic, who seemed very enthusiastic to his old Chelsea friends.

And the French black egg faction, the Belgian faction, the Spanish faction, and the Arsenal old friend faction.

Suddenly.

Li Kang saw a mouse crawling under his feet, which immediately attracted the joy of the little ball boys.

The rampant rats are a historical problem left over from Old Trafford, and occasionally rats can be seen on the grass during the game.

Pogba's hairstyle today is relatively normal: a blue Mohawk.

He silently glanced at the Chelsea team, and the desire to fight suddenly spread throughout his body.

He was distracted when playing against weak teams.

He was focused when playing against strong teams.

Fans joked: This is Pogba's way of endurance.

"ESPN, ESPN, hello, everyone."

"Now we are broadcasting the eighth round of the 2017/18 Premier League."

"Manchester United vs. Chelsea at home."

"A passionate battle is about to begin."

"The camera is on the away stand. It's Hermione, the protagonist of Harry Potter, and a loyal Chelsea fan. She has not taken on any movies or commercials in the past year, but has focused on the feminist movement."

"The camera switches to the VIP box. It's Hills, who played for Manchester United in 1994!"

The red ocean is surging.

Amid deafening cheers.

The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.

The moment Li Kang stepped onto the turf, the system prompt sounded quietly.

[Ding, mission trigger: Indestructible Dream Theater. 】

[Task introduction: After Mourinho's training, Manchester United now has a more three-dimensional and solid defensive system, and the threat in transition attacks is extremely strong. Of course, the premise is that their defensive players can keep their minds clear. 】

[Task reward: Manchester United Legend·Platinum Treasure Chest. 】

"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides."

"Manchester United's formation is 4-2-3-1!"

"Goalkeeper: De Gea."

"Defenders: Valencia, Maguire, Smalling, Blind!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Herrera, Matic."

"Central midfielder: Sanchez, Pogba, Martial!"

"Forward: Lukaku."

[I think this lineup is evenly matched with Chelsea, not much different. 】

[Herrera is Hazard’s natural enemy, with a restrained style. He defeated the goal scorer in four matches, just like Cruyff meeting a golden retriever. 】

[In the second year of Mu, his combat power was at its peak. 】

[The duel between Pogba and Li Kang, the two strongest talented midfielders of the young generation. 】

"Chelsea's formation is 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Buffon."

"Defenders: Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Marcos Alonso."

"Midfielder: Li Kang, Kante, Fabregas."

"Forwards: Hazard, Morata, Willian."

[This lineup actually does not have an absolute finishing core, and all attackers are very selfless, resulting in an offensive design that makes the opponent unpredictable. 】

[The soldiers are unpredictable, the water is shapeless, and Tuhel is unpredictable. 】

[This game must be avoided. The strangulation game will take up a lot of time and offensive and defensive rounds, and big goals cannot be made. 】

[Li Mingdeng beat Old Trafford three times. 】

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Manchester United possession of the ball.

Lukaku twisted his fat body, kicked off with an underfoot, and passed back to Matic.

Who would have thought that he was still a lean little black egg last season.

He took two steps forward sideways, and after observing the path of the football, he moved forward with the formation and invaded Chelsea's half.

He stared fiercely at Chelsea's goal.

Thirty years in Hedong.

Thirty years in Hexi.

Don't bully young people into poverty.

Little Hei Fatty was once a Chelsea player. Why does he have such a strong desire for revenge?

The story begins in the 2011/12 season. Villas-Boas did not register him in the Champions League squad. As a result, Di Matteo led the team to win the Champions League.

‘I didn’t touch the Champions League trophy because I didn’t win it myself. ’

I hate the house and the bird.

In the years since, Lukaku often vented his dissatisfaction with Chelsea to the media and complained about Chelsea players.

"Lukakula is on his side!"

"Blinder pressed forward to the 40-meter area, made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball, and made a long pass!"

"Diagonal bombing!"

Blind's oblique long pass is very accomplished. He personally cast Robin van Persie's world-famous "Flying to the Top" painting.

A masterpiece of Ajax youth training.

During the 2007 European Youth Championship, he was still a well-known handsome boy in Europe, known as the "Bourne Anderson on the green field". Unfortunately, at the age of 20, he began to have cheeks and cheeks and a receding hairline.

The football was spinning in mid-air.

Following its trajectory, the camera suddenly moved to the right half of Manchester United's offensive direction.

Marcos's blocking was timely and interfered with Lukaku's reception at the landing point.

pity.

Unable to withstand the impact of two hundred kilograms!

Old Trafford, there was a wave of applause.

The visual impact is so explosive: an elephant fights a leopard!

"Wow!"

"Lukaku pushed Marcos out of the touchline with his butt!"

"Li Kang's supplementary defense!"

"Stuck in position and let the football roll out of bounds. It was a very reasonable defense. Pogba also responded in time."

"Chelsea throw-in."

Lukaku was like an elephant, crazily arching Li Kang's butt.

Why can't it turn over in one fell swoop?

In the end, I could only watch the football go out of bounds.

Although he likes to speak ill of people, he is still a good boy.

Lukaku patted Li Kang's butt in a friendly manner, and then pulled up Marcos, who had been ravaged by him.

Li Kang touched his little braised egg.

Courtside.

Tuchel sat on the coaching bench with his hands folded on his chest and his expression calm.

Dino took notes carefully: "Sure enough, Manchester United took the lead and took the initiative to suppress Marcos' side. They used the right and left to attract defensive forces, and then Pogba, who was supporting him, made a small arc pass and run. "

"Plus Sanchez rotating into the middle."

"Mourinho's independent offensive design is also very targeted."

the other side.

Mourinho looked calm, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand directing the defensive formation to move back.

In Mu's second year at Manchester United, their level of abuse was average, but they were very good at fighting tough battles.

Research on tactical cracking in the Premier League is progressing extremely quickly.

Manchester United also learned the lessons of Manchester City and Tottenham at this time: they cannot face this Chelsea head-on with a high defensive line for a long time.

"Marcos throws in."

"Manchester United didn't put too much pressure on the front court. All players retreated, and even Lukaku had to cover the defense on the wing."

"Li Kang passed the ball to Hazard."

"Oh."

"Herrera is really Hazard's lifelong enemy! Close skin-to-skin contact."

"A beautiful turn to get rid of him!"

"Then pass it to Morata in the middle!"

"I heard that he has both feet with weak feet!"

"Wow!"

"Is this still Morata?"

Sometimes a slap in the face comes quickly.

Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?

Before receiving the ball, Morata, who retreated moderately, observed that Maguire was out of position.

Good opportunity.

Big gap.

Adjust the body's inclination.

Swing your arms.

Kick.

Bang!

A world wave was blasted in the 30-meter area!

Old Trafford let out a burst of exclamations.

The football turned into a black shadow in the air and flew towards the Manchester United goal.

Scientists have done research: De Gea's reaction arc limit is 0.18 seconds, which is faster than the average lightning time of 0.2 seconds!

His slender figure stretched in mid-air.

Platinum gloves, clenched into fists.

Snap!

The running football calmed down instantly and flew lightly out of the baseline!

"Beautiful, De Gea!"

"Amazing save!"

"Catch the heavy artillery with one hand!"

"Morata's powerful long shot, what a pity."

"Chelsea's left corner kick opportunity!"

Catching a heavy artillery with one hand is not a fantasy story. Cech has done it, Buffon has done it, and Neuer has done it.

De Gea wanted to curse something, but he couldn't say anything when he saw Ma Datou who was still scratching his butt.

Morata applauded, and his confidence increased.

William stood in the corner flag area.

Raised his hand.

Run-up.

Snap!

"Go on the ground."

"Tactical corner kick!"

"Fabregas receives the ball."

"Manchester United's defense begins to widen."

"I heard that Tuchel's team only conducts a short set-piece practice the day before the game."

"Set up the gun!"

"Li Kang!"

Although Fabregas is no longer as brave as he used to be, his ability to read the defense is top-notch.

Snap.

A light horizontal knock.

It just caught the gap when Manchester United's defense widened.

Li Kang shot the ball on the left side of the penalty area!

Bang!

The football rose quickly and spun violently, about to make a beautiful arc.

But it hit a big face.

Maguire!

《Starting with full-level frontal air defense!》

"That was close."

"It was Maguire who stood up this time."

"Manchester United escaped again!"

"Chelsea's left sideline ball!"

"The siege is about to begin!"

Maguire smiled and gave Li Kang a thumbs up.

Li Kang also gave him a thumbs up.

VIP box.

Ferguson had a complicated expression. He was quite satisfied with the performance of Manchester United players, but the home team's previous matches had told him that these guys might go crazy at the critical moment.

Old Trafford is one of the few stadiums in Europe that likes to give applause.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chelsea launched a siege on Manchester United, and the fierce battle of positions gripped the hearts of the audience.

Applause and cheers overlapped.

Tuchel rushed to the command area at some point and gestured seriously.

Mourinho's expression became more and more serious.

Dino silently took notes: "There are so many things worth learning from Manchester United's low defense in Mourinho's second year."

[It's been almost 19 minutes, and there's no goal yet? ]

[Don't worry, the good show has just begun. ]

[Can this Lukaku play as a center forward? He always pulls to the side. ]

[The most complex offensive design VS the most meticulous low defense line. 】

[What a meticulous play! Maguire's long pass from the counterattack hit David Luiz in the face again.]
