Chapter 210 Manchester United is Evolving

The next day

Mourinho proposed a digital management plan to the club.

After a brief discussion with the club’s senior management, Manchester United temporarily established a digital operations team.

If feasible, it will be expanded and officially operational.

In a mansion in Wilmslow, Cheshire, west of Manchester, 76-year-old Ferguson dragged his exhausted body back home.

Before closing the door, he looked back at the sky, which had not rained for a rare day.

"That's it, don't be afraid of going through troubles. I was... more troublesome than you were!"

Even if you have been relegated to the second line, don't think about what happened in the locker room. Hidden from Ferguson.

The old man vaguely remembers that November in 2002.

They lost 3-1 to Manchester City in their last derby at Maine Road.

That was also a major setback in the old man's coaching career at Manchester United. The media, reporters, fans, and celebrities seemed to be the same as Mourinho, with a lot of accusations, attacks, and abuses coming one after another.

However, those players were not the same as today.

They are completely loyal to Manchester United and completely loyal to themselves.

Phil Neville

He once asked Phil Neville to run up a hill and then come back and chop down the tree.

For such a request, young people will only think Mourinho is crazy now.

But Phil only asked: "Okay boSS, where is the chainsaw?"

But even though he was such a loyal player, the old man still sold him at a low price. .

Because he does not fit in with Manchester United's tactics.

"Sometimes, choice is more difficult than hard work."

...

Mourinho did not know what Ferguson was thinking.

He would be happy to have some interactions with the old man at the end of the season, but not now.

Because his name is José Mourinho.

To be honest, if Lin Mo was not 17 but 27, then what he said yesterday might become a breaking point in the relationship between the two.

Pointing out the coach's mistakes is often a provocation to the coach.

What’s more, there is nothing wrong with Mourinho’s approach, it’s just that the younger generation themselves are not comfortable with it.

Now, Lin Mo has given both parties a step that is acceptable.

This is a good phenomenon, but many times, when most clubs encounter such a situation, it is often young people who leave.

Two days later

The club suffered another setback in the European competition.

They were tied 1-1 at home by their opponents. Manchester United, with half the main lineup, had already controlled the game.

But the opponent's kick outside the penalty area broke the balance.

In the subsequent games, Manchester United failed to break through the opponent's bus formation.

Mourinho fell in front of his bus twice, which made many Premier League teams, especially the relegation teams, see how to deal with Manchester United.

At this time, the tactics trained by Mourinho have not yet evolved to the final version, and the players are constantly adapting, giving feedback, and improving.

But the most important thing is that in the third-line battle, the fatigue of the midfield and frontcourt continues to increase.

If Lingard had not gradually returned, I am afraid that the injury attack would have been more serious.

What Mourinho needs now is time.

As time enters December

Manchester United’s temporarily formed digital team handed over its first digital report.

The day before the game against Southampton, the coaching staff held the first Manchester United digital technical and tactical analysis meeting with team captain Valencia and vice-captain Matic.

In the conference room

Tony, the head of the digital team with glasses and messy hair, excitedly began to comment:

"You will never expect that, Luca Kubi We imagined it even better."

"The goal conversion rate is 25.7%, fourth in the Premier League!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone couldn't help but stare.

Matic even tilted his neck, looking like an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone.

He felt that he had heard wrongly.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

Tony looked at the surprised people, his face even more arrogant. He pushed up his glasses and pressed the button for the next page.

"This is Lukaku's goal spot map. We can see that when Lin Mo is on the right, Lukaku's left-footed shot from the mid-to-far point is the most efficient and has the highest conversion rate. As high as 52%!”

“Hiss—!”

Everyone gasped again.

However, Mourinho's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and it seems that a new tactical idea is forming in his mind.

"Rashford..."

"Lingard..."

"Lin Mo..."

"The player who has passed the most threatening balls in the league this season, with a total of 32 times and 10 conversions, including 27 times with the right foot and 5 times with the left foot. This is a heat map of his activities on the right. , mainly concentrated in the corners of the penalty area and the bottom line. These two positions are his favorite passing points."

"On the left, Lin Mo scores the most goals..."

“Lin Mo’s running speed on the right is 3.84% faster than that on the left. According to the technicalAccording to technical analysis, the main reason is dribbling along the foot. "

Mourinho nodded slightly, this little guy gave him a huge surprise.

In this way, we can indeed develop some tactics for him.

The technical analysis meeting that took up almost a whole day made Mourinho understand that the information he asked Faria to print out to him every day was already outdated!

Some of it was worthwhile! Reliable players are not as good as they seem, and some substitute rotations are not useless.

For example, Smalling actually performed far better than Bay in 50% of the games under today's technical analysis.

This also surprised everyone present.

“I have communicated this part of the analysis with captain Valencia. Smalling’s problem is lack of concentration. , especially in higher-intensity games, his performance is far inferior to those against weaker teams. ”

“We believe that this is a psychological problem and there is no technical or tactical problem. "

Mourinho touched his chin. There was too much information today and he needs time to digest it.

But in Mourinho's heart, he already has Manchester United's future.

...

December 2nd

Manchester United challenged Southampton away

Southampton, who was in the relegation zone at this time, used The super bus and crazy fouls gave Manchester United another draw.

However, no one who watched the game stood up to criticize Manchester United and Mourinho.

p>

Instead, they collectively condemned Southampton.

In this game, the referee showed 8 yellow cards and 1 red card.

Lin Mo was the first player in the game. He was substituted in the 28th minute, and the white socks on his legs were stained red when he came off the field.

Bailly's injury in the second half almost caused a conflict between the two sides.

In this way, Manchester United injured 2 people, and the overall injury list has reached 6 people.

It seems that they are following suit, and the defensive situation of the mid-to-lower teams and the "iron-blooded" teams has begun to become serious.

Manchester City's David Silva and others were also injured one after another, and the injury list was increased to 5 people.

It seems that both Manchester City players have been hit by a wave of injuries. < /p>

Lin Mo, who was back home now, felt helpless as he touched his scabbed skin injury and looked at the system prompt of "Minor injury, recovery countdown 37:36:22"

At this point, the first round of games in December is over, and the Premier League rankings are also freshly released:

1. Liverpool 36

2. Manchester City 33
