Red Rebels

After a draw with Everton at home, the new Manchester United performed well in the next two warm-up games, beating opponents 0:1 and 1:2 respectively, ending the seven warm-up games this season.

The excellent performance in the warm-up game made the fans of the new Manchester United look forward to the team's performance in the new season, because the opponents in the warm-up match were strong and weak, but except for the game with Everton, which was suppressed, other The new Manchester United have an advantage in the game, especially the positive performance of the players on the pitch, which has made the fans have high hopes for the team.

In this case, after a week of rest, the new Manchester United finally ushered in the first game of the League Three.

As the first game of the new season, the new Manchester United attaches great importance to this game. They came to Shrewsbury, northwest of Birmingham, two days ahead of schedule to train in a school here to prepare for the upcoming League Three. league.

After 7 warm-up games, Mourinho decided to let Kitson play as the starting single striker, Crouch as the Raiders, and basically nothing changed. The two wingers were Malu. Da and Hleb, the three midfielders are Juninho Jr., Arau Diarra and Paulson, and the back line is Abidal, Terry, Distin and Bosingwa from left to right. The goalkeeper is Schmeichel.

This set of main lineup performed well in the game against Everton, and also played well in the following warm-up games, especially Kitson's shocking power in the penalty area, which made Mourinho's 433 winger tactics are even more powerful.

But this is the main lineup that Mourinho and the new Manchester United fans have high hopes for and believe that this season should make a difference in the Premier League. On the outskirts of Shrewsbury, the Prosta Stadium next to the railway was hit To the home team's tenacious counterattack.

Shrewsbury played very badly in the League Three last year. If they hadn't unexpectedly upset Rochdale in the last round, they would have been relegated to the National League. It is precisely because of that game that Rochdale. Ernest failed to qualify for the play-offs last season and ultimately failed to achieve promotion.

This season, Shrewsbury's performance in the pre-season warm-up games is still bad, with 2 draws and 3 losses in 5 warm-up games, and their opponents are not strong. Because of this, the new Manchester United fans are confident in this game. .

But who knows, Shrewsbury gave the new Manchester United a head-on attack from the first minute of the game.

In the 3rd minute, Shrewsbury made a round after round of fierce attacks on the new Manchester United defense, and made a cross from the left. The ball broke through the gate guarded by Schmeichel.

In the process of conceding the ball, Bosingwa moved forward and did not recover it in time, causing the opponent's left midfielder to take the ball easily, while Terry and Distin in the middle both missed, making the opponent's No. 9 The center can easily seize the opportunity.

This made Mourinho so angry on the sidelines that he almost rushed up to grab the player and scolded him for a while. He has repeatedly reminded the players to pay close attention to the opponent's cross from the left at the beginning of the game, as well as the tall No. 9. Center forward, can not give him the opportunity to face the goal easily.

But in fact, Terry and Distin took his words on deaf ears, and they didn't appear in the position they should have appeared in time, which made Mourinho feel bad.

"Hey, bastards, do you want to go back and have a taste?" Mourinho roared loudly from the sidelines, gesturing exaggeratedly, "Remember what I told you before the game? Press it, give it all I'll press on, bastards!"

It may be because of the anger of the head coach that the players dare not be careless on the field, especially Bosingwa of the right back. Once Malouda and Abidal on the left move forward, he will think about himself first. behind him, then back away a little, standing in his place.

As a result, Shrewsbury's counterattack began to be suppressed by the new Manchester United,

But the opponent's defense is also very tenacious, not giving an inch, and not giving the new Manchester United even the slightest advantage.

In this case, the new Manchester United is more about taking a more direct approach, finding Kitson in the frontcourt, and then letting him act as the bridgehead for the team, with Malouda and Hleb serving as the second wave Attack point.

As a result, the tactics began to look more like the tactics Bruce had created last season, except that Zhikic became Kitson, Krzynovic became Malouda, and he took on the defensive task. On the one hand, Paulson took on Essien's defensive task last season, while Arau Diarra was the last season's Paulson.

It just changed a little, but the team's offense was completely activated, especially Juninho. He started to move forward more decisively in the midfield, and he dared to dribble and score the ball because he knew that, With Paulson and Arau Diarra by his side, he will be in charge of filling in the gaps.

Although Arau Diarra is not as physical and strong as Essien in midfield, he can provide a stable passing point for Juninho behind him, and his passing and off-ball ability are worse than Essien Excellent, which greatly shared the pressure on Junior Juninho.

In addition, Arau Diarra's height advantage in the middle makes the interception of the new Manchester United higher in the midfield, and he is not afraid of physical confrontation at all, which is the reason why Mourinho uses him as the main force.

However, the opponents obviously saw the change of the new Manchester United, and immediately retracted their defense, intending to hold the score steadily, even if it was only the first half, but it did not hinder their conservativeness at all, and they felt that once the new Manchester United was long If they can't attack, they will definitely reveal loopholes again. This is the best time for them to establish victory.

…………

…………

It seems that the opponent's strategy succeeded. Throughout the first half, the new Manchester United firmly occupied the game advantage, but they were unable to break the Shrewsbury goal.

At half-time, Mourinho suggested that the team should play more patiently. After all, in the first half of the game, the new Manchester United had a firm advantage, but Mourinho asked the players to attack while attacking. Pay attention to the opponent's counterattack, but he has always seen the opponent's fast left midfielder on the sidelines always cruising in the new Manchester United's back line.

In this case, once the opponent breaks the goal again, it will be a fatal blow!

Shrewsbury has a ball in hand and is not in a hurry to play. Their defense is like an impregnable wall, not giving the new Manchester United any chance at all, and the new Manchester United does not seem to find much change in attack. Always habitually look for this point of Kitson.

Shrewsbury's head coach had discovered this at half-time, so the team's central defenders focused on Mark Kitson, which immediately put the new Manchester United's tactics completely dead.

"José, you can't go on like this!" Boas came to Mourinho's side and reminded.

Mourinho nodded with a grim face. From the perspective of the scene, the new Manchester United has an absolute advantage, but there are not many opportunities to really pose a threat to the opponent. The opponent has obviously made up his mind to defend.

"Rodrigo!" Mourinho shouted towards the bench.

Palacio jumped from the bench, and Boas immediately motioned him to warm up.

A few minutes later, the scene on the pitch remained unchanged, and Mourinho called Palacio, who was warming up.

"When you're on the pitch you play striker, partner with Dave, I'll let them pass you the ball as much as possible, use your technique and speed, remember, don't hesitate, don't be afraid to concede the ball, we've got the best of it now, conceded the ball. After the opponent can't fight back, you give me no scruples to break up their defense line and go with Alexander, understand?"

Amid the deafening cheers of the fans in the stands, Mourinho slapped Palacio hard on the shoulder, motioning him to come on, and he walked to the sidelines.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, Mourinho called Junior Juninho to the sidelines and explained that he should not play high balls, play more positional coordination, pass more balls to Palacio, and let Arau Dia Pull and Paulson retreated, pay attention to defense, the team switched to 352! "

Just kidding, this is my first official game for Jose Mourinho, how can I lose?

Palacio replaced Bosingwa, who had a bad performance in this game. After he came on the court, he partnered with Kitson. The team's tactics immediately became 352. Arau Diarra and Paulson played double midfielders. , Junior Juninho is the central midfielder, and the rest has not changed.

As a result, the new Manchester United's overall suppression of Shrewsbury has become more thorough, especially after Palacio came on, he was very active. His speed, dribbling and breakthrough ability are among the new Manchester United. It was even more dazzling, especially after he came on the field, he made a beautiful emergency stop with the ball and then accelerated to get rid of the opponent's defender, which even aroused the cheers of the depressed new Manchester United fans in the stands.

After Palacio came on the court, the players on the left and right sides were also activated, especially Hleb on the right. With the same excellent technique, he seemed to cooperate with Palacio like a duck to water, disturbing the opponent's back line. into a pot of gruel.

In the 81st minute, Palacio dribbled the ball to break through an opponent's defender and passed it diagonally to Hleb, who was down to the bottom line. The latter looked up at Kitson in the penalty area and made a decisive cross.

Kitson, who was depressed for 80 minutes in this game, stubbornly pressed the opponent's central defender behind him, facing the fast approaching ball, head-on.

The ball passed by the goalkeeper and hung directly to the bottom of the net, 1:1!

After scoring the goal, Kitson was very excited, and the new Manchester United was even more morale, confident that he wanted to win the game.

But the head coach of Shrewsbury obviously did not intend to make the new Manchester United happy. He just conservatively thought that if he could get a point in the first round, it would also be a good result, so he replaced the defensive player again.

In the end, the new Manchester United's first professional game, Mourinho's first official coaching game, was unfortunately tied 1:1.

In the case of taking full advantage of the situation, but failed to harvest a draw, which made the team feel very depressed.

But this is just the beginning!

PS: In the past few days, I was suddenly transferred, and I was in a bad mood. I had to come back at noon every day. I worked overtime today until now...

Yesterday, I was in a really bad mood. I had a fight with a head, and when I came back and saw the scolding, it was inevitable that the anger was a bit bigger. When I think about it now, I feel like I made a big fuss. I'm sorry!

As my wife said, some people just want to get mad at you, and if you get mad, it will follow their path. In reality, this is the case on the Internet!

Writing a book is not a novice, but Lao Chen still can't be as forbearing as some friends who also write books, shame!

Some people say that with the character of Lao Chen, you should avoid going to the book review area to avoid trouble, but I like to go to the book review area, because I always feel that an online novel needs to be updated for such a long time, and it needs readers and authors to interact frequently. This can inspire some sparks of inspiration.

In fact, there are many friends' suggestions in the book review area that I find very useful. If you read the book carefully, you will find it, and there will be more and more in the future!

Finally, I wish you all a happy reading!
