Chapter 133: On Track

Manchester United lost a league game on December 4, and the next league game came soon after.

On December 7, in the fifteenth round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face Newcastle at home. What made Kintag the happiest in this game was that Martial finally returned from injury.

Now Kintegger trusts the young Martial more than the nerve knife Nani. Although Martial is inexperienced in the Premier League, his agility and impact have brought many changes to this Manchester United team. He and the left side Mahrez flew on both wings and completely revived Manchester United's wing. Jin Taige knew that his current lineup was worse than that of many giants. For example, the combination of Mahrez and Martial is still far behind Real Madrid's Ronaldo and Bale's "200 million flying together", but Kintag is confident that relying on the spirit and strength of this Manchester United team At the end of conceding defeat, even if he encounters strong teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, and Bayern, he still has the confidence to wrestle with them!

On December 7, Old Trafford ushered in the challenger Newcastle.

The head coach of Newcastle is Alan Pardew. He became the head coach of Newcastle in December 2010. After several years of training the team, in the 2011-2012 season, Alan Pardew led Newcastle to win the Premier League With a good result of fifth place, he was even elected as the Premier League Coach of the Year that year. For a time the limelight was in full swing. However, in the past 2012-2013 season, Newcastle had a poor record. They were thrilled to avoid relegation at the end of the season, which put Alan Pardew in danger of dismissing get out of class. In this season, Newcastle still performed mediocre, currently only ranked 13th in the league, and only 5 points away from the relegation zone.

The deepest influence of Kintag on Alan Pardew is that he once coached Charlton. When he was in Charlton, he strongly advocated the introduction of Chinese star Zheng Zhi, and the two formed a mentor-student relationship.

In today's game, although Alan Pardew used a 4-5-1 formation, this formation is full of offensive power. The three midfielders Guffran, Cabaye and Moussa Sissoko are all very strong. , and at the center position is the strong Remy. It is worth mentioning that these four people are all French, and Newcastle's French help occupies a place in the team.

Kintag knew these people very well. In the parallel world of later generations, these people were eventually poached by other teams. Remy went to Chelsea next summer with a transfer fee of 10 million euros; Cabaye went to Paris Saint-Germain in this winter transfer period with a transfer fee of 23 million euros; and Moussa Sissoko was poached by Tottenham in the summer of 2016 , The transfer fee reached 35 million euros.

Therefore, although Newcastle have not performed well recently, they are definitely a strong team with strength.

Because Jin Taige rotated the lineup in the last game, and after the rest, the physical strength and state of the main players recovered very well, which can be seen from the training.

Kintag sent his strongest lineup in this game, which is still the familiar 4-4-2 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea; the defense is the combination of Smalling and Vidic partnering central defenders. Fora and Rafael; the midfielder is Kanter and Giggs, Mahrez and Martial, who has returned from injury, one left and one right; the striker is a combination of Rooney and Van Persie. The seven substitute players are: Alisson, Alonso, Jones, Ashley Young, Valencia, Carrick and Icardi.

From the first minute of this game, the two teams played aggressive football.

Kintag wants to use a victory to boost morale and make the players forget the loss against Everton in the last game; while Newcastle is desperate to stay out of the relegation zone as much as possible.

Although Newcastle had a 4-5-1 formation in this game, they were full of offensive power. From the first minute of the game, Newcastle aggressively attacked.

The fans who watched the game were also hooked. Just ten minutes into the game, the two teams each had a wonderful shot.

When Jin Taige saw this situation, he was immediately happy: "Now I am not afraid that my opponent will attack me."

In the 19th minute of the first half, Manchester United got a chance by attacking from the left. In the counterattack, Evra on the left suddenly advanced, which caught the Newcastle midfielder by surprise. Evra moved forward all the way, and at this time Mahrez was already waiting in front of him.

But Evra did not pass the ball to Mahrez in front of him, but crossed in front of the penalty area and passed the ball to Rooney in front of the penalty area. After Rooney got the ball, he kicked directly outside the penalty area and the ball went into the net!

Manchester United lead 1-0!

In the 35th minute of the game, Manchester United launched an attack from the right again this time. In the last game, Valencia was on the right back. Rafael got enough rest, so Raphael was full of energy in this game. He made continuous attacks on the right, and even robbed Martial, who had returned from injury. limelight.

Before Rafael dribbled the ball to the penalty area, he did not go down this time, but directly crossed at a 45-degree angle. The ball accurately found Van Persie in the penalty area. Van Persie shot with his right foot, which he was not very good at. The angle is relatively positive, but it is very close to the goal, so the opponent's goalkeeper has no time to react, and the ball hits the net!

Manchester United lead 2-0!

In the 42nd minute of the game, this time it was Newcastle who got the ball. Their French quartet made a series of passes, and it was finally Remy who responded in the penalty area. Moussa Sissoko kicked a long-range shot , The ball hit Manchester United's goal.

2 to 1, Newcastle pulled a goal back!

The cooperation before this goal was very tacit, and even Jin Taige felt very helpless off the field: "If it weren't for the difference in the color of the jersey, I would have thought that the goal just now was scored by Barcelona."

Scholes also said: "This goal is really beautiful. Pardew is really good at training the team's offense."

Even Ferran who was beside him praised this goal: "If I were the coach of the French team, I would directly move these four people to the French national team. The effect will definitely be much better than the current French team. If the French team If they can play this kind of combination often, then their World Cup qualifiers will not have to be so hard."

Although Manchester United got a goal back by their opponents, the three of Jin Taige talked and laughed happily on the sidelines, and they were not nervous at all, because they had already seen through the first half of the game. Although Manchester United lost unexpectedly in the last game, Manchester United The team is back on track, the players are full of energy, and the cooperation between the players is getting better and better. Jin Taige is very confident. Although the team is behind in league points now, if he continues to follow this direction, his goal of "triple crown" this season must not be just a fantasy!
