Soccer Super Marksman

As time went on, Manchester United took two days off after the end of the league, and the whole team went to the Netherlands.

At present, the qualifying situation of Manchester United's group is very clear.First of all, Manchester United with 10 points at the top of the group and PSV Eindhoven with 9 points have a relatively clear lead. No.3 Panathenaics has only 4 points, but the fifth game of the group stage was defeated by Murray. Neo emphasized that it is a key game that must be won!
Manchester United's goal is to get first in the group!After all, the disadvantages of becoming second in the group are too obvious. Once Manchester United meets the top of other groups, it will make it very difficult for them to compete in the Champions League knockout rounds.

In particular, Manchester United is also facing such an embarrassing situation, that is, once the game loses to PSV Eindhoven, it means that even if they win the next game, they may still be second in the group.Even with a tie with the opponent, the sixth round is still embarrassing!
Because the difference between Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven is only one point, in the last round, in order to ensure that they will definitely get the first place in the group.Can Manchester United rest assured to let the substitute play?
Therefore, considering all things considered, if they can win PSV Eindhoven in the fifth game, Manchester United can sit back and relax. In the last Champions League group match, substitute players can be used to win time for the main players to recharge their batteries.

PSV Eindhoven's thinking is very similar to Manchester United. Since the internal competition in the Eredivisie League is not as fierce as the Premier League, they do not give priority to securing the top spot in the group in advance. As long as they can qualify after six rounds, the better situation is the group. First, then of course they will be content, so the fifth game against Manchester United is crucial.

Once PSV Eindhoven wins, the points will not only overtake Manchester United by 2 points, but also allow them to lock in the qualifying places in advance, and have a chance to get the first place in the group, adding some luck to the knockout draw.

The two teams with the same goal will face off at the Philips Stadium, home of PSV Eindhoven.

Cui Zhen once again met the players of old rival PSV Eindhoven in the player tunnel.He and PSV Eindhoven are not strangers, and he is not a friend with his opponent, but he is certainly not a stranger.

Cui Zhen went to stand behind Rooney, then turned her head and nodded to Ryu Mito to say hello.

When players from both sides lined up and entered the Philips Stadium, the entire stadium was lit up with lights and cheered loudly.

Under the leadership of Van Bommel, PSV Eindhoven's performance this season is also as stable as an old dog, so the fans are satisfied with both domestic and European results.

"The fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage is about to start. The qualifying situation in Group E is relatively clear. Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven have a relatively large advantage over the other two competitors, but this game is related to the competition for the first place in the group. I believe The two strongest teams in this group will give a good match.

PSV Eindhoven started the 442 lineup today.

Goalkeeper: Pasfer

Defenders: Arias, Brenett, Devis, Hector Moreno.

Midfielders: Narsing, Proper, Paulson, Locadia.

Forwards: Tatsuya Mito, Luc de Jong.

Manchester United Mourinho's starting lineup is 4231.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Phil Jones, Valencia, Bailey, Bailly.

Midfielders: Pogba, Cui Zhen, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Lingard.

Forward: Rooney.

After the game started, Manchester United played very cautiously. Cui Zhen, the starting midfielder, was more active in the center circle, doing pass organization work.

Manchester United have always liked to play beautiful football, not attacking football!

Mourinho never, and never dared to promote Manchester United's football philosophy to the outside world is the concept of offensive football.

Offensive is a gesture, beauty is a means, and there is an essential difference between the two.

The more Manchester United gets into key games, the more cautious they are. In terms of posture, the offense and defense are mostly balanced, and sometimes they are a little conservative.But no matter what kind of posture they use to play, they are playing beautiful football.Because the way they attack is to pass and cut on the ground, rely on the skills at their feet, and mostly cooperate with the team, instead of rough and monotonous long passes.

In fact, there are only a handful of teams that hold high the banner of offensive football in the top arenas, and even teams that carry the banner of offensive football are not necessarily successful, such as Real Madrid.

On the contrary, today their opponent PSV Eindhoven is carrying the banner of Dutch offensive football and fighting Manchester United at the Philips Stadium!
Compared with the last game, PSV Eindhoven obviously has a stronger overall team strength.They sit at home in this game, and of course they don't want to be led by the nose by Manchester United.

Besides, how bad could it be?If it is a tie or it falls behind to Manchester United, it is better to fight against Manchester United vigorously!
Van Bommel looked calm on the sidelines. He has always been a slightly calm coach. PSV Eindhoven's weakness compared to European giants is obvious.

They do not have a stable and reliable midfield commander, which makes PSV Eindhoven's offense overly dependent on the wing.

Not only can you only try to tear apart the opponent's defense from the side, but also lacks control over the rhythm of the game, which leads to another problem: the team's rhythm is very easy to lose control when it is approaching the extreme.

But there is no way. After all, things that cannot be changed cannot be solved by patchwork. This fatal flaw cannot be solved. Too many unpredictable factors in the game are also attributed to this.

Out of control represents chaos, chaos on one's own side.

Locadia, the midfielder, has fully absorbed his experience and lessons today. He even took the initiative to ignore the existence of Cui Zhen. He didn't want himself to overemphasize the contest with Cui Zhen. After letting go of this obsession, he thinks he can perform better and contribute more to the team.

The best players of PSV Eindhoven, who rely too much on wing attacks, are forward Luc de Jong and defender Hector Moreno. It is to insert assists from the wing to form an unexpected attack point to create a murderous intention. The midfielder Locadia is the most active in running positions. He plays the ball quickly in the frontcourt, and does not consider passing people or adjusting the ball at all, even if he makes a mistake. He will not change this style of play.

When United face the game with a more cautious stance, they hardly give their opponents any chances.

Manchester United's defender strength reserve is extremely strong. Bailey, Phil Jones and Valencia are all very strong. As for Bailly, his physical fitness is also very strong.It's a pity that the evaluation of the full-back's strength not only considers defense, but also assists ability, so he is slightly inferior in offense and makes him less conspicuous, but in terms of defense, Manchester United's back line is very reassuring.

Not to mention that there is a world-class star Pogba in the midfielder position. Lingard is very excited when he starts today, but he always reminds himself to be calm. Pogba will pay more attention to helping him defend and fill the position. PSV Eindhoven's attack in the center is weak, in fact, the probability of problems with the midfielder is not high.

This made it difficult for PSV Eindhoven, which is biased towards the main attack. Even if the defender Hector Moreno assisted them, they tried to play fast. On the offensive end, they came to the front line to compete fiercely with Manchester United's defensive system. At the same time, it is still obvious that they want to create great opportunities.At best, the midfielder Locadia can pass the ball in the front midfielder area. No matter how much, there is no chance. To control the ball, first ask Pogba if he agrees.

Forward Luc de Jong has good skills at his feet, but his running awareness and ability to find opportunities are weak. He can drive the ball to instigate an attack, but if only Ryu Mito runs in the penalty area in the middle, the Manchester United defender will easily pass. Mei Tenglong was also sealed.

Cui Zhen did his job well after the opening. He delivered shells for Mkhitaryan, Herrera and Rooney.Take a stroll in the middle of the field to organize your work.

During the transition between offense and defense, Cui Zhen's organizational talent was fully demonstrated.

If Hector Moreno on the left gets an assist, then when Manchester United is attacking, Cui Zhen will focus on passing the ball to Mkhitaryan. If the defender Hector Moreno can return to the defense in time, Cui Zhen will pass the ball to Herrera.

Cui Zhen didn't push forward excessively-cooperating. Manchester United's offense was actually relatively monotonous, with almost three players in the frontcourt every time they attacked.

Either Choi-Rooney-Mkhitaryan or Choi-Rooney-Herrera.And most of the offenses ended at Rooney's feet. Most of the time, he was surrounded and conceded the ball, which made Manchester United's offense fail.

Cui Zhen was patient and not nervous at all.He is like a ferocious beast hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, always ready to burst out and hunt.

PSV Eindhoven looks very hard, frequently launching side attacks, and the speed is getting faster and faster. They hope to seize the opportunity after Manchester United's attack fails to catch Manchester United by surprise!
But Manchester United has Cui Zhen, the midfield commander, who also obeyed Mourinho's tactical requirements before the game very well, and did not blindly pursue a fast pace.

So when he controlled Manchester United's offensive and defensive rhythm, no matter how fast PSV Eindhoven unilaterally increased the speed, Manchester United did not make any response, and always played the game at a slow and tepid rhythm.

This is a demonstration of the commander's ability to control the rhythm, and the effect is obvious. Manchester United is as stable as Mount Tai!
The positioning and distance of the players on the field are kept very reasonable.No matter how fast PSV Eindhoven is, it can't shake Manchester United's defense.

When the game came to the 37th minute, Cui Zhen saw the defender Hector Moreno striding forward along the left flank. Locadia started to pass the ball, but Hector Moreno failed at the 45-degree position. He hesitated for a kick pass, he wanted to pass the ball to Locadia again, but Pogba firmly blocked his passing line, and it was around Locadia, while Lin Gad rushed forward to intercept him bravely.

Hector Moreno's hesitation did not lose the ball, he reacted nimbly and continued to dribble the ball towards the baseline, and then he could only cross when he was close to a dead end.

The pass was cleared by Bailey with a header. This header was really far enough, and it was almost close to the center line after bouncing off the ground.
