heir to the red devil

Chapter 32 He Laughed

United's second game was tied and the players expected Kintag to throw a fit.But unexpectedly, after returning to the locker room after the game, Kintag said to everyone very calmly: "It is not Manchester United's style to be scored twice by the opponent while leading."

Everyone felt a little ashamed.

Jin Taige was still not in a hurry, with a smile on his face: "Don't be dazed, go take a bath quickly, don't catch a cold."

Now the players were stunned by Jin Taige, but the coach didn't get angry, which is always a good thing.

On the bus back to the hotel, Scholes was very puzzled: "Captain, today's game fell short under the excellent situation of leading, why are you not angry?"

"Because I found out the reason for the loss, and I have the confidence to win a big victory in the next game." Jin Taige was full of confidence.

In the following training, the players still did not dare to slack off, and gradually played their due organization and cooperation. Jin Taige was also very happy to see the changes in everyone.At the same time, he admires Scholes very much. It is because of his guidance and teaching that the connection ability of several midfielders has been strengthened.

Jin Taige sighed in his heart: To keep Paul by my side, I really found a treasure.

In the third friendly match three days later, Manchester United played against Hong Kong Zhijie.Everyone found that Jin Taige changed the lineup again.The biggest change this time is to put all 7 players bought in the summer transfer into the starting list.

At the goalkeeper position, Kintag let De Gea take a break and sent Alisson, a young goalkeeper dug from Brazil; at the back line, Kintag actually sent a combination of Ferdinand and Van Dijk, and Van Dijk was taller than Ferdinand Be stronger. The combination of the two makes the striker look worried. Alonso is used as the left back. What is unexpected is that the right back actually lets the right winger Valencia comeo. This formation can be described as strange; On the midfield line, Kintegger's most valued signing, Kanter, finally appeared. He was partnered with the veteran Giggs. Kanter was responsible for defensive interception, and Giggs was responsible for organizing the offense; on the left and right, the new aid Mahre Giggs replaced Giggs on the left, while Nani, who had not played well in the first game, was still used on the right; two young summer recruits were replaced on the forward line, Icardi and Marcia Er, Icardi stepped forward, and Martial was slightly behind.

This lineup is a brand new lineup, the players have a very short run-in period, and several players are not playing in positions they are familiar with, so I don't know what effect they will play.

Just 5 minutes into the game, Scholes, who was sitting on the coach's bench, had his eyes lit up: "Captain, the team's situation today is completely new."

I saw that Jin Taige changed his habit of standing on the sidelines and commanding the past few days. Today, he sat quietly on the coach's bench, watching the situation on the field leisurely: "Paul, you know that the last two goals we conceded in yesterday's game What is the reason?"

Scholes replied firmly: "The midfielder is not hard enough."

"Paul, what do you want me to say?" Jin Taige looked at Scholes with a smile, "with you as my assistant, I really get twice the result with half the effort. You are right. During the first friendly match, The opponent is just defending and has no decent offense, so our problem is not obvious, but the second game is different. The opponent sent two young and fast players, frequently crossing the midfield with counterattacks, and we There is no qualified defensive player on the entire midfield line who can intercept and block in the midfield. If the opponent's shooting accuracy is not good, we probably lost the second game. That's why I played the third game Tactical adjustment, look at the current field, how can any opponent be able to break through Kanter?"

Scholes listened to Kintag's thoughts while observing the situation on the field.

As soon as Kanter came on the field, the mental outlook of the entire Manchester United suddenly took on a new look. On the midfield line, Giggs was old and slow to return to defense. He could hardly make much contribution to the team's midfield defense, while the two The full-backs like to insert assists very much, so the defense line is often very empty. In the first few games, these troubles were handed over to the two central defenders, but today the situation is different.

Kanter covered almost the entire midfield line on the field alone, solved most of the offense for the defense line, and became Manchester United's defensive core for a while; and Van Dijk and Ferdinand on the defense line were partners for the first time. It's not very tacit understanding yet, but both of them have strong individual defensive ability. Ferdinand's experience and Van Dijk's position have formed an excellent barrier for Alisson behind him. So far, the opponent has not had a single shot. Alisson has yet to make a save.

Looking at the frontcourt again, Giggs is old. Although he can't move on the wing, he is still world-class in the middle. Scholes praised him repeatedly: "Captain, Zhao Rui Well, in this state, it’s okay to play for another year.”

"Paul, I think you can play for another year."

"Don't be kidding, captain, haha."

The reason why Jin Taige and Scholes laughed so happily is because the score now has become 1-0.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Mahrez on the left suddenly cut in after passing through people on the left, causing chaos to the opponent's entire defense.He passed the ball to Martial on the other side of the goal, where it almost became an unguarded area. After Martial received the ball, he didn't take credit for it. He passed the ball to the middle of the goal. At this time, Ikar Di outflanked and rushed to the goal with a strafing shot.Manchester United lead 1-0.

At this time, the Manchester United players on the field rushed to Icardi and congratulated him.Captain Giggs is no exception.When he returned to the middle circle, he deliberately came to Mahrez's side: "Young man, the ball is passed well, come on."

"Good captain." Mahrez was very happy.

The moment Giggs turned around, he didn't know why, he suddenly felt a burst of relief, which he had never felt before.He turned his head to look at Mahrez again, thoughtful.

Kintegger off the court also saw very clearly that more than half of the credit for the ball was on Mahrez. If he hadn't made consecutive breakthroughs to attract half of the opponent's back line, and then passed the ball skillfully without greed for merit, then There was no subsequent Icardi goal at all.

Kim Taige said to Scholes contentedly: "I have chosen Ryan's successor not bad."

"Well, pretty good," Scholes stared intently at the court, and then added, "Roy Keane's heir is also pretty perfect."

Hearing this sentence, Kintag laughed. Looking at Kanter and Mahrez on the field, he saw the hope of the future of the Red Devils.
