It can be said that this game is Mourinho's experiment.
Two veterans on the wing lead two young players, and the aggression on the wing is immediately explosive!
You know, don't look at Ashley Young and Valencia now having become left and right full-backs.
Two of the four kings of the year, known as [Wabusha] and [Yangbushe], were definitely among the top wingers in the Premier League.
They are also the main players of their respective national teams!
Unlike the 33-year-old Valencia, who would have thought that three years later, Ashley Young would still have a record of 4 goals and 4 assists in a single season at Inter Milan and win the Serie A championship.
The 39-year-old Ashley Young can also return to the Premier League!
As Lao Zhan said: "In this game, Manchester United actually deployed four wing attackers. In this way, Fellaini's forward thrust will become even more threatening. "
Lao Zhang also nodded in agreement: "Look at the cooperation between Lin Mo and Valencia now..."
While the two were talking, Manchester United's offense had already begun. To the right wing.
Lin Mo leaned on Holevas to receive the football. Instead of trying to swing around, he quickly knocked his heel and cut inside.
Holevas was still holding Lin Mo's jersey in his hand, and he saw a white figure flashing past him out of the corner of his eye.
By the time he turned around, it was already too late. Lin Mo's cut inside even took away Pereira, who was assisting in defense.
Valencia looked up at the penalty area and kicked it.
In Watford’s penalty area, a bald head and a golden pompous head jumped up one after another.
Only due to the interference of the opponent, he did not succeed in pushing.
But the momentum of this wing attack has already been unleashed.
Lao Zhan sighed: "Oh, what a pity."
"If this ball were more accurate, Fellaini would still have a chance to move."
< p> "But this attack of Manchester United is very un-Manchester United, what do you think, Coach Zhang?"Lao Zhang touched his chin: "This is not a 451 for Manchester United to prevent counterattacks, but... But... don't you think it's similar to the two wings flying together during the Ferguson era?"
When talking about the two wings flying together during the Ferguson era, the fans' eyes lit up.
When Lao Zhang said this, it seemed to have some such flavor.
"But it's a little different. Mourinho's insistence on double midfielders makes this team's counterattack look like..." Lao Zhang couldn't find any words at once. describe.
Lao Zhan promptly added: "Pinch offensive?"
"Yes, yes!"
The form of the game on the field was just as the two said. , but this time the starting point came to the left.
Kante and Matic teamCheng's double midfielder began to regain the tacit understanding of the past, and Watford's several attacks were stopped directly in the middle.
The 11th minute of the game.
Rashford and Ashley Young were like a series of cannons, hitting continuously on the left.
In the end, Rashford successfully broke into the penalty area under the cover of Ashley Young.
Faced with the two men's defense, Rashford did not hit the goal alone this time. Suddenly, he accelerated and hit the bottom line. Rashford directly wiped from the bottom line to a position 3 meters away from the goalkeeper.
Facing the crowded crowd, Rashford suddenly made a pass.
The goalkeeper kneeling on his knees, the defender beyond his reach.
In the penalty area, a golden pompous head leaped high and headed the ball into the goal before Lukaku.
1 to 0
Mourinho gently clenched his fists to celebrate on the sidelines. The players were somewhat comfortable with this tactic.
It is true that without smart players in the midfield, this is Manchester United's best offensive tactic at the moment.
Watford, who was penetrated on both wings, seemed a little irritable, and the movements on the field began to become bigger.
The 16th minute of the game.
Watford counterattacked quickly. This time they learned a lesson and took the ball directly over the midfielder to find the striker.
Although Maguire stepped forward to intercept at the first time, but in the scramble, the football came to the feet of Andre Gray.
Matic saw that the opponent was about to get a chance, so he took the initiative to apply for a yellow card in desperation.
The 19th minute of the game.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Manchester United had another chance when Watford player Will Hughes got a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt.
The football that just spun into the penalty area was grabbed by Maguire.
Kanter, who was outside the penalty area, leaned tightly on Capoue and firmly controlled the second goal.
Then a pass was passed back to Ashley Young, who met the ball and sent a long pass directly.
At the same time, Manchester United's front three was at full power!
Lin Mo turned his body sideways while running at high speed and tapped the football with his chest before Holevas. The football flew past the opponent's left side.
Lin Mo himself stepped on the sideline, stepping on a green figure on the sideline.
That's flying grass clippings!
The man and the ball passed!
Lin Mo was extremely fast and distanced himself from Holevas almost instantly.
The Red Devils fans at the scene suddenly felt excited. Isn’t this the scene they watched during the game?
Looking at his teammates who were constantly outflanking him in the middle, Lin Mo actually dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area.
The scene was suddenly in an uproar!
The home fans were panicked.
Lin Mo, who entered the penalty area, almost got a semi-one-on-one opportunity, facing Cabaseli who was catching up from the side and Ben Foster at the near post.
Lin Mo hesitated for half a second before choosing to react with an inverted triangle.
"Bang!"
"Swish!"
The golden shaggy man opened his arms and ran wildly again. This scene made Mourinho even look back. surprise.
In just 20 minutes, substitute Fellaini actually scored twice?
And the players seem to be having a great time?
Mourinho returned to his seat and began to think about this issue seriously.
After taking a 2-goal lead, Manchester United did not use the midfield strangulation or restricting the opponent's core players as they did in the past to achieve the purpose of controlling the game.
To a limited extent, Manchester United just slowed down the pace and regained their physical fitness.
But when Watford planned to attack, they found that Manchester United in front of them fell back to the low position.
It is simply impregnable, and the defense of Kantega Matic in the middle is already solid.
But Fellaini is equally tough.
Although the defensive abilities of the four players on both sides are not top-notch, there is only one word: fast!
Watford, who continued to look for opportunities, was still worried about the opponent's steals and could not even form a shot.
Looking at the opponent's weak attack, Manchester United was just about to push back when they saw Watford suddenly start bombing mode with big-footed crosses.
This comes to Maguire's "field of talent."
For a time, Watford, who defeated Tottenham, had nothing to do against Manchester United.
At the end of the first half, Manchester United maintained a 2-0 score.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Manchester United continued to maintain its offensive advantage, but failed to seize several opportunities.
A scene that changed the course of the game occurred.
In the 69th minute of the second half, Mourinho arranged for Martial to replace Lukaku.
Of course, the core goal is to stay in the Champions League three days later.
The problem of not buying a Zhengyin striker in the summer window was inevitably exposed. After all, in Mourinho's eyes, Rashford simply couldn't play as a lone striker.
The 70th minute of the game.
Martial did not chase after losing the ball in the frontcourt, and Matic received a second yellow card to cover for him.
Manchester United, fighting with one less person!
