Chapter Forty-Two, Meritorious

Manchester United had the opportunity to shoot with two kicks in the opening five minutes, and the game was one-sided.

Laudrup came to the sidelines anxiously instructing the players to defend well and not let Manchester United attack successfully. He turned around and glanced at the visiting team's coaching bench not far away, and saw Jin Taige leaning on the seat very leisurely, observing everyone on the field, his heart moved: It seems that this young head coach is not easy...

Laudrup, 50, looked at King Tiger, 38, who was engrossed in the situation on the court.

At this time, Phelan looked at the court with some worry: "We're attacking at all costs, there won't be any problems, right?"

Scholes did not make a statement, keeping an eye on the situation on the field.

Jin Taiga smiled and said to Phelan, "Don't worry, everything will be fine with Kante here."

In the pre-match preparation meeting, in addition to mental mobilization, Jin Taige clarified the play style of today's game: attacking from the side and pressing on the whole line.

Jin Taige told the players: "Carrick, you can go forward and assist today with confidence, don't worry about the space behind you, there is Kante; Giggs, Nani, you two continue to support the striker, Don't worry about the gaps on the wing, there is Kante; Evra, Rafael, you are full-backs with super assist ability. do not be afraid……"

Speaking of this, everyone said in unison: "There is Kante!"

"Beautiful!" Jin Taige laughed, "It seems that you all know how to play this game."

With Jin Taige's instructions, let alone midfielders, even Evra and Rafael have frequently assisted, and the positions of the two are about to become wingers. Under this kind of pressure, Swansea's goal It is crumbling, like a building that is about to collapse, and it may be breached at any time.

"Dear viewers, I don't think any of you thought that Jin Tiger would form a full-attack formation in this game. We thought that his first Premier League game would be conservative, but we didn't expect Jin Tiger to be so fierce. Look It's time for other managers to have a new understanding of Manchester United this season," Morris said excitedly.

However, Raman has a different opinion: "Manchester United in the Jazz era focused on offense and defense balance, but today's play style of Jin Taige, the wing is pressed across the board, doesn't he want to defend? The defense is so trusting? Or else, is he very confident in the French midfielder he signed for free from Ligue 2?"

Raman's words were full of sarcasm.

Seeing that his team was at a disadvantage, Laudrup thought to himself: It is not the way to always be beaten by Manchester United like this. Some adjustments must be made. He called to his side and quickly instructed: "You and Nathandale will move to the side, boldly step forward, play the gap between their two full-backs, and then let Michu not need to return to the defense, just in the penalty area. Waiting for your pass."

"Ok, I see."

At this point, the game was 15 minutes into the game, and the situation on the field had changed a bit. Manchester United can't attack for a long time, but their back line is full of holes.

Evra assisted forward and reached the edge of the penalty area. He made a cross and was firmly held by Swansea goalkeeper Worm. Then he launched a hand toss attack. Nathandale on the right received the ball and moved forward all the way. run wild.

"Manchester United's left flank is in danger! Nathandale has entered Manchester United's half. At this time, there are only Smalling and Ferdinand in front of De Gea. Nathandale, as well as the powerful center Michu in the penalty area, and Routridge on the left are also rushing towards the Manchester United penalty area, 3 on 2, this time Manchester United is in trouble!" Raman shouted, "King Tiger paid the price for his reckless attack. Not only was the attack ineffective, but he was counterattacked by his opponent. I wonder if Sir Alex Ferguson in front of the TV is regretting his recommendation?"

At this time, Jin Taige, who was on the coach's bench, stood up,

When he came to the sidelines and looked at the situation in front of him, he was a little nervous. Whether the all-attack tactic he set in the first game was successful or not depends on this ball.

At this time, Scholes and Phelan also looked nervously at the direction of the ball and prayed in their hearts.

God bless, I hope this first game doesn't go wrong...

At this time, Swansea's right midfielder Nathandale has driven the ball straight in and came to the side of the penalty area on the right of Manchester United. He slowed down a little, then looked up at Michu, who was outflanking in the middle, and then looked at him again. Looking at the left midfielder Routledge, who was caught up by the far end, he had a bottom line.

Michu is surrounded by two tall Manchester United defenders, Smalling of 193cm and Ferdinand of 189cm are like two huge stone pillars, inserted beside Michu, if Nathandale rashly passes the ball now, he will definitely Destroyed by these two tall defenders, it is better to pass the low and flat ball to the back point, and Routledge outflanks the shot.

Thinking of this, Nathandale adjusted his pace and passed a low ball into the penalty area. The pass was so wonderful that Nathandale felt like he was possessed by Beckham for a moment. The pass was far in front of De Gea, and De Gea couldn't get the ball. He could only move his feet to prepare for a save.

And the most subtle part of this pass is not here, but the line of the pass not only makes De Gea unable to attack, but also makes Michu unable to reach the point at all.

Michu was out of reach, and neither were Smalling and Ferdinand. They watched the ball go backwards.

At this time, Raman was very excited in the commentary seat: "Nathandale slammed his horse all the way to the edge of the penalty area. At this time, there are two contact points in the penalty area. Who will he pass the ball to... It passed out, but Michu did not. When they touched the ball, there was no defender of Manchester United, the ball went to the back point, where Routledge came up, and he will have a 1-on-1 chance to face De Gea! Shooting..."

But when the word "shoot" in Raman's mouth was just halfway out, Morris next to him suddenly shouted: "Routledge didn't touch the ball, Manchester United players kicked the ball before he touched it. Out of the touchline! Beautiful defense, the one who put out this key kick is Kante, Kante has made a contribution!"

Raman was stunned: "Where did he come from?"

Morris ignored his question, but continued to say excitedly: "Let's look back at the scene just now. When Swansea goalkeeper Worm launched his hand-toss attack, Kante started to return from the midfield position. Chase, he went all the way back to the box along the midfield line and tackled the ball before Routridge shot! Kante has become the key man in Manchester United's defensive organization this time!"
