Red Rebels

The starting lineup arranged by the new Manchester United in this game played 433 tactics. This is also the tactic that Mourinho is best at using after coaching the new Manchester United. Although it will occasionally become 442, it is more like 4231.

Of course, according to the current tactical system of the new Manchester United, the formation is no longer important.

The starting striker in this warm-up match is Drogba. This Ivorian high center is the type preferred by Mourinho. He is not good at shooting, but has outstanding physical fitness and strong confrontation. At the same time, he has a good technique. The frontcourt acts as a fulcrum, can create and seize opportunities by himself, and can also play the ball for his teammates.

As for Crouch, he did not come to Ghana with the team. At present, the new Manchester United is negotiating with Portsmouth. There is still some price gap between the two sides, but I believe that a consensus will be reached. After all, Crouch himself wants to leave, and the new Manchester United does not want to stay. , it's that simple!

The two wingers are Malouda and Hleb, the former is hardworking and consistent on the field despite being inferior to Wright Phillips in speed and skill, while Wright Phillips is vulnerable. Emotional influence, state fluctuations are relatively large.

Hleb is the most consistent player in the two seasons at the new Manchester United. Since Darren Lyons retired, he has firmly occupied the team's right wing position, and no one can currently shake his core. Status, including the future of Frank Ribery.

The three central midfielders are Juninho Jr., Essien and Senna. The two Brazilians are at the front, and Essien falls to the midfielder by himself. This is obviously because Mourinho wants to maximize his performance. The offensive abilities of Juninho and Senna.

Essien also has a certain attack power, but compared to Xiao Yu's previous life, Essien, who can attack and defend well, if he wants to play the main role now, it is best to practice his defensive skills first, especially lateral interceptions and steals. His physical fitness is very good, but he runs too much needlessly, resulting in his poor interception efficiency.

Moniz has clearly reminded Essien before that there is still a lot of room for improvement in his defense. Of course, Essien's ability to rush vertically, coupled with his outstanding physical fitness, makes him able to recover after attacking. , but since the team is still in the run-in stage, Mourinho arranged for him to give him more defensive tasks.

The four defenders from left to right are Abidal, Terry, Curtis and Bosingwa. This is also the main lineup of the new Manchester United last season. All of them have been retained by the new Manchester United this season, and the goalkeeper is still Almunia. .

This time, all the first team players of the new Manchester United came to Ghana together, so the bench was full of 11 players, but it was not known who Mourinho would replace.

Xiao Yu was sitting in the stands and watching the game with Ghanaian President Kufuor. In addition to paying attention to the new Manchester United players, he was also paying attention to the Toure brothers who were freelancers.

Since it is the first pre-season warm-up match, the new Manchester United has obviously not entered the game state, and the players are not excited enough on the field, especially the players' movements are not tacit enough, resulting in a lot of mistakes by the team.

But even so, the new Manchester United still beat freelancers 2-0 with direct free kicks from Hleb and Juninho.

Purely from the point of view of the score, the new Manchester United seems to have an advantage, but in fact it is because the new Manchester United has higher tactical literacy, and the freelance players are more scattered, which allows the new Manchester United to grasp the situation.

Especially in the second half, when the new Manchester United replaced a large number of substitute players, the freelancers even caused a lot of trouble for the new Manchester United. Want to show his ability in Mourinho's current, aroused Mourinho's idea.

Yaya Toure's brother, Kolo Toure, performed very well in this game. He played at right back and was responsible for marking Malouda on the left of Bixin Manchester United.

But he completed his task very well throughout the game. Malouda hardly took advantage of him in the confrontation, and the two goals conceded by the team had little to do with him.

However, in the second half, Kolo Toure had a back row to attack, and his cooperation with his younger brother Yaya Toure was surprising, but it was a pity that Yaya Toure missed a long shot later.

"It seems that they may not be able to stay in Ghana any longer!" Xiao Yu leaned aside and communicated with Mark David.

The latter naturally knew who Xiao Yu was talking about, so he couldn't help nodding his head. With the current strength of the Toure brothers, if they continued to stay in Ghana, they would probably be discovered by European teams sooner or later. The momentum of the charity competition has made such a big deal.

You must know that this charity match is not only paying attention to the African region, but even major newspapers and media organizations in Europe are paying attention to this event. After all, so many people died in the Ghana stadium riot before, which caused a great sensation. This indirectly caused this charity match to also attract attention.

This can be seen from the presence of so many reporters and media at the scene.

"What are you going to do?" Mark David asked concernedly, he knew that Xiao Yu should have a solution.

Xiao Yu thought for a while, "Let someone contact Belgium to see if any club is interested in bringing in a midfielder, loan Yaya Toure, and play in Belgium for three years. If not for the national team, at least I can get Belgian nationality, and then I can take it back and play for our team.”

Both Manchester United and Chelsea in later generations have a satellite club in Belgium, which is arranged for those players who cannot apply for a labor certificate temporarily, so when Xiao Yu played the FM football manager game in his previous life, he always liked to call this kind of Belgian satellite club. Labor Certification Satellite.

Mark David nodded and agreed. With the current influence of the new Manchester United, it is not realistic to sign a Belgian club satellite, unless it is spent with money, but Xiao Yu is not willing to do that, it will give people a kind of upstart. impression.

However, the new Manchester United can do it on loan to Belgium, because the new Manchester United's scouting network in Europe has been spread out and there are many connections between the clubs, so I introduce Yaya Toure to go. It's not too difficult for Belgium to play.

"But we must ensure that he can play the ball. It has nothing to do with the competition between the first and the second. The important thing is that there is a game to exercise, and that is valuable!" Xiao Yu further reminded.

Mark Davey promised with a smile, he is not the kind of person who knows nothing about football, he naturally knows the importance of game training to an 18-year-old young player, he will not make such mistakes, and he can see it , Xiao Yu attached great importance to these two brothers.

After the first game, Xiao Yu came to the parking lot outside the locker room of the Freelancers Club. He planned to wait for the players to come out and meet them. He was accompanied by Melo and David.

Unexpectedly, just after they arrived, they saw the dressing room passage. Mourinho stopped the head coach of the freelance club and talked with him about something there. The two sides were talking and laughing, and then he I also met the Toure brothers specially, and I feel like I appreciate them very much.

"It seems that we can't keep them!" Melo said jokingly.

Xiao Yu patted him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter if you can't keep people, Africa will be a blast of football talents in the next few years, this is also the purpose of my acquisition of freelancers, I also plan to build a football school in Africa, then you will be completely Don't worry about the talent pool."

"You don't have to!" Melo said with a smile.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and he walked forward.

"Hey, Jose, I was looking for you!" Xiao Yu stopped Mourinho.

"Oh, just right, I'm looking for you too!" Mourinho also looked anxious.

Xiao Yu stood there for a while, as if waiting for Mourinho to speak first.

Mourinho, who was about to say it, looked at Melo next to him, and suddenly burst out laughing and asked: "The right back you told me should be Colo Toure?"

Xiao Yu spread his hands, "Otherwise, who else do you think there is?"

Mourinho smiled and shook his head, "I was about to talk to you about this, I just learned about it, he has played enough times for the national team, and he can apply for a labor certificate. I thought I found him. , it turns out that he was booked by you!"

"Yeah, after Chloe Toure came to the Freelancer Club, he performed very well in the position of right back. At first, I thought Mr. Xiao Yu was acting at will, but who knows, he not only loaned the Toure brothers here. At the same time, they often send people to check their physical condition and make some training suggestions." Melo on the side explained the origin of the Toure brothers.

"So, they are the players of the new Manchester United?" Mourinho felt a headache. He, the head coach, didn't even know that his club had signed such two players. He really failed.

"Of course, Jose, it's just that we couldn't reuse them before because of the labor certificate. Now Kolo Toure has reached the number of appearances for the national team, but Yaya Toure is not enough. I plan to wait for this time. After the free game, he will be loaned to a Belgian club to play, I hope he can be selected for the national team as soon as possible." Xiao Yu said with regret.

Yaya Toure's strength is also very strong. He can be the main midfielder of Barcelona's triple crown. His potential is unquestionable, and now he has good strength. I believe that after the hype of this match, he will transfer Going to Belgium to play games, I believe that it will be a matter of time to be selected for the national team.

"What do you think of the right back I signed for you?" Xiao Yu asked Mourinho with a smile.

"Can I ask for more?" Mourinho asked with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

A group of people walked outside the stadium while talking. In the distance behind them, the Toure brothers were still communicating with the head coach. Obviously, they didn't know that their fortunes had changed drastically after this game.

For these African teenagers from poor families, leaving Africa and joining the Europa League is an incredible turning point. They can earn more money, support themselves and their families, and have a great future. It is almost paradise. .

But Xiao Yu knows that heaven is not necessarily perfect, and people living in heaven are not necessarily carefree. Professional football is cruel. How far they can go on this road depends on their own good fortune and hard work!
