From the man behind the football king to the football king

When the actual game started, the situation was similar to what Bruno simulated in the system.

As a Spanish team, Celta Vigo is very good at controlling the ball. On the offensive end, they have Aspas, an efficient shooter, and Guidetti, a powerful center forward, so Manchester United It’s still very difficult to fight.

Defensively, they had a hard time dealing with Aspas. Although the Argentine central defenders Cabral and Roncaglia are not well-known, they are both typical strong players. Manchester United wants to break through their partner's defense in offense. It's not easy either.

Throughout the first half, Manchester United was unable to break through Celta Vigo's goal, but Celta Vigo frequently threatened the goal guarded by Romero.

And in terms of opportunities, Manchester United did not have more opportunities than Celta Vigo. After all, this was an away game. From the beginning of the game, Celta Vigo took the dominant position.

However, Celta Vigo failed to open Manchester United's goal in the first 45 minutes, because Manchester United's defense also performed very well.

Secondly, another midfielder, Pablo Hernandez, is already 30 years old. He is too old after all. In order to restrict Bruno in the first half, he kept running with Bruno, many of which were sprinting up and down. It caused a great loss in his physical fitness.

"This is Celta Vigo's home court. They want to win the game more, not us. Of course, I'm not saying that we don't have to win, but we can have more patience than them, because even in this game It's a tie, we still have ninety minutes to go back to the home court, so don't be anxious. In the second half, we should solidly defend and then look for opportunities. Don't rush forward if there are only a few people left in the backcourt... "

Stealing the ball directly is the first half of defense, but what happens after the ball is intercepted?

Many teams choose a big kick to get the football out of the danger zone.

………………

Although Manchester United's defense is currently injured by several generals such as Van Dijk, Rojo, Phil Jones and Luke Shaw, the Manchester United defense line led by Maguire is still solid. Coupled with Kante in front of him, Manchester United's defense is impregnable.

After thirty-four rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United's defense only conceded twenty-three goals. It is the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League.

There are many young people in the Manchester United team and they lack experience in the knockout rounds. If they rush too hard, they may fail in the knockout rounds.

During halftime, Hernandez had been getting muscle-relaxing massages.

But it can also be seen that Bellizzo is a little nervous.

Composure is very important for Manchester United, and it is also one of the important experiences in participating in European competitions.

Many teams performed in the group stage like newborn calves, they were very motivated and performed very well. As a result, after the knockout rounds, he turned into a raw melon and an egg, and was fooled around by experienced opponents.

………………

During the attack, Celta Vigo pressed higher and higher. Sometimes even if they lost possession of the ball, they were not even willing to go back. They just gathered around in the frontcourt, hoping to intercept the ball and then directly counterattack.

………………

They want to steal the ball. The ball is gone. What's the use of knocking Bruno to the ground?

………………

Unlike Mourinho who only used words to keep the players calm, in the dressing room of Celta Vigo, Berizzo almost filled the tactical blackboard.

What Lineker is worried about is also what worries Mourinho. He also warned his players to be patient during the halftime break.

Having Bruno means that Manchester United can choose to actively defend.

After intercepting the ball, hand the football to Bruno and let Bruno handle the next thing. Just like humans hand over calculations to supercomputers, they save worry and effort. This is a major advancement in technology.

What's the atmosphere like at Manchester United's home ground? Even Chelsea lost there without any resistance. How could Celta pin their hopes of promotion on the road in the second round?

The players listened attentively and nodded.

Lineker's analysis at halftime believed that after Celta Vigo failed to score in the first half, there will be a strong attack in the second half. As long as Manchester United has enough patience, that is their chance.

This is all for Bellizzo to consider.

At this time, momentum no longer becomes important, but instead, stable performance and rich experience.

………………

In control, keep the football away from the dangerous area, while consuming time and the opponent's fighting spirit.

Regarding Bruno, Berizzo has said the most because he is the core of this team and one of the best and most threatening players in today's world football.

With the help of this supercomputer, Manchester United withstood Celta Vigo's most violent attack.

This may be a characteristic of Spanish head coaches. They talk endlessly when talking about tactics.

To defeat Manchester United's performance, we must first curb Bruno's performance. As long as Bruno cannot perform well, Manchester United's offensive effect will be greatly reduced.

Through constant observation, Bruno noticed the subtle emotional changes displayed by Celta Vigo players, who became more impatient.

When Bruno didn't need to think about how to deliver a fatal pass, but just took the football away from the dangerous area and forwarded it, Bruno's super-fast thinking ability and passing ability were fully displayed.

In the first half, his players restricted Bruno quite well, so Manchester United did not have any threatening offense.

However, it did not come without a price. Midfielder Ladoya received a yellow card for a foul on Bruno, which caused hidden dangers for Celta Vigo in the second half.

Because if Celta Vigo, who played at home first, cannot win this game, the second round will become difficult. They must score goals on the road and at least draw their opponents.

After they pounced on Bruno, the ball was gone. This was a really frustrating result for the defensive players and demoralized them.

In your own home court, with the right time and place, no goal was scored in the first half for 45 minutes. What psychological impact and implications will this have on your own players and the other players?

Unless you don't let him catch the ball and knock him over before he catches the ball, but that's a foul.

As a central defender, it is actually very dangerous to carry a yellow card.

In this kind of deal-making, almost half of the second half of the game was gone. In the blink of an eye, the game reached the 65th minute, the score was still 0:0, and Celta Vigo failed to break Manchester United's goal.

Directly engaging with opposing players, fighting hand-to-hand, and then stealing the ball may not be Bruno's defensive style. His defensive approach is to keep the football at his feet and the feet of the entire team.

He is arranging each person's tasks for his players in detail, down to the specifics of how to move.

After the start of the second half, Celta Vigo significantly stepped up their offensive, hoping to score in the shortest possible time.

Of course Manchester United will not be dissatisfied with this situation, but Celta Vigo will.

Because the group stage is not a knockout round, there is no need to decide the outcome in one or two games. There are six full games to play, and the error tolerance rate is higher. But after entering the knockout rounds, there are only two games in each knockout stage. One away game and one home game, the fault tolerance rate is greatly reduced. Making a mistake in a game can lead to irreparable consequences.

Manchester United are enjoying this improvement now, Bruno's brain is simply a supercomputer on the pitch.

In the 66th minute, Celta Vigo's center back Cabral received a yellow card for violating Rashford while defending.

So the key is for Manchester United not to worry, even if they end up with a 0:0 draw, that's fine.

He hopes to score as soon as possible in the second half, otherwise the later the time is, the worse it will be for them. Therefore, he prepared very meticulously and cumbersomely. He would rather cram everything into his players' minds than hope that he would miss anything.

This is why the group stage and knockout rounds are two completely different events.

………………

Defensive purposes are achieved through control and offense.

He feels that the more important thing than containing Bruno is to score goals as soon as possible in the second half. As long as the goal is scored, Celta Vigo at home will have an unstoppable trend.

The specific manifestation of the impatience of Celta Vigo players is not only the simple means of attack, but also the impatience in defense.

In the end, the first half ended in a goalless draw.

In the face of such a general trend, neither Bruno nor the Manchester United team will be able to stop it.

This is certainly a method, but it is not the best, because the ball will soon return to the offensive team's feet, and they will continue to attack the defensive team without reducing the pressure. This is passive defense and a helpless move.

And Manchester United has already been prepared, first of all to solidify its defense. At the same time, if he can get the ball, even if there is no good offensive opportunity, Bruno will send the football forward, and then control the football through the cooperation between two or three people, and beat Celta Vigo's The formation compressed back, keeping them away from Manchester United's penalty area.

Otherwise, as long as the football can reach his feet, he will always quickly pass the football to where it should go. In fact, it is just a pass to a teammate. There is no exquisite movement involved at all. It is like a scalpel-like through ball. It's a technique that makes it very easy, but it also gives Celta Vigo's defenders a headache.

Whether Bruno can be contained in the second half, Berizzo is not sure now.

It would be fine if their siege could indeed bring pressure to Manchester United, but such siege requires a high degree of tactical discipline. It does not mean that swarming up with more people is enough.

Especially when facing Manchester United, which passes the ball quickly and accurately, the siege of Celta Vigo players can only create more gaps in the defense behind them...
