I'm the Red Devil's savior

Chapter 309 Fish and Bear's Paws
Three days after defeating Everton, the third round of the League Cup began. Manchester United played at home against the British Championship underdog Burton.

Ye Su once again resorted to a big rotation strategy, but Manchester United, with an 11-man rotation, went on a killing spree at Old Trafford.

In the 5th and 17th minutes, Lingard assisted Rashford twice, giving Manchester United an early 2:0 dream start.

In the 36th minute, Manchester United continued to expand the score.Mbappe assisted Lingard and Manchester United led 3:0.

Not long after the start of the second half, in the 60th minute of the game, Manchester United scored the fourth goal of the game. Rashford assisted Mbappe and completely sealed the victory.

In this game, Manchester United's young striker trident showed their prowess, Rashford made two shots and one pass, Lingard made one shot and two passes, and Mbappe made one shot and one pass.

Although Bruno Fernandez, who served as the single midfielder in the game, did not score or contribute assists, he won the MVP of the game.Manchester United's four goals were all instigated by him. What the striker needs to do is very simple, which is to score the wonderful pass he sent into the opponent's goal.

………………

65 hours later, the sixth round of the Premier League began. Manchester United visited St. Mary's Stadium to challenge Saints Southampton.

The game kicks off at [-]pm local time in the UK and also includes Manchester City at home to Crystal Palace, Swansea at home to Watford, Stoke City at home to Chelsea and Burnley at home to Hudson Harder. Westfield, Everton at home against Bournemouth and other five games.

Although Manchester United will fly to Spain in the middle of next week to usher in the second round of the Champions League group stage against Atletico Madrid, Ye Su is still the main player in this Premier League.

On the one hand, it is because the Champions League group match between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid is on Wednesday night, and there are still more than four days to go. Secondly, the competition between the team and Manchester City is very fierce. Once there is a mistake, Manchester City will catch up. Even overtaking, so Ye Su did not dare to neglect.

Southampton, who sits at home, even lowered their stance and did not hesitate to use fouls and lethal tactics to limit Manchester United.On Manchester United's side, the double defensive midfielder composed of Kanter and Fellaini is also very tough. Throughout the game, people turned their backs on their backs frequently.

The game scene was very hot, the whistle sounded frequently, and the fluency of the game was repeatedly broken. Even in the Premier League, which is famous for its confrontation, such hand-to-hand combat is rare.

Both sides put more attention on restricting the opponent and preventing the opponent from scoring. On the contrary, both sides were restrained a lot on the offensive end.

However, in this kind of real fight, Manchester United, which has a clear advantage in strength, took the lead in scoring goals.

In the 20th minute, Manchester United broke through Southampton's defense. Luke Shaw broke through from the left and made a cross. Harry Kane scored a header and was bravely saved by Fraser Foster, but Kane's The second reaction was very quick, and a supplementary shot in the small penalty area was successful. Manchester United led Southampton 1:0.

………………

Harry Kane's goal was the only goal from either side in the first half.

Subsequently, the game fell into a dogfight again, and neither side could create an excellent scoring opportunity.

Throughout the first half of the game, both sides seemed to put all their energies into fierce fighting and defense, and everyone on the court was turned on their backs.

"To be honest, I don't have much hope that the second half of the game will be good." Lineker said to his partner.

"Objectively speaking, the score of 1:0 is acceptable for Manchester United as a guest." Lineker's partner, beautiful commentator Kirsty said, "I just don't know if Puel is willing to accept the result of losing at home. "

The second half of the game started quickly, and the two sides continued to entangle in the midfield. As the game progressed, about 10 minutes later, Manchester United coach Ye Su took the lead in making adjustments. He replaced Kanter with Mata.At the same time, De Bruyne retreated and formed a double midfielder with Fellaini, while Mata played a single midfielder.

"Ye Su doesn't look content with a 1-0 victory. It seems that Manchester City's 3-0 lead at home to Crystal Palace has put the pressure on the Manchester United manager," Lineker said.

Kirsty nodded and said: "After all, there is still about half an hour in the game. For Ye Su, the score of 1:0 is not safe. If Southampton scores a goal, the score will be equalized. The ranking was also tied by Manchester City."

Lineker said with a smile: "Ye Su made a change first, and now we have to see how Puel will respond."

………………

The camera gave Southampton coach Claude Puel a close-up, and then gave the camera to Gabbiadini on the bench. Obviously, if Southampton coach Claude Puel is also not reconciled If there is a draw and you want to make adjustments on the offensive end, the most likely thing is to replace Gabbiadini.

Ye Su replaced Mata to strengthen the offense, hoping to expand the lead and seal the victory as soon as possible.

On Southampton's side, Claude Puel finally made a move after nearly 10 minutes. He got Gabbiadini and Ward-Prowse up to warm up.

Lineker said: "Switching on Gabbiadini or Ward-Prowse represents two attitudes of Claude Puel."

Ye Su also noticed the changes on Southampton's bench.

Replacing Gabbiadini means that Claude Puel is not satisfied with losing at home, and Southampton still wants to attack; and if Ward Prowse is replaced, it means strengthening the midfield defense. Don't want to concede more balls.

In the 701st minute of the game, Claude Puel finally made a substitution adjustment. Ward Prowse replaced right back Cedric Suarez, and Gabbiadini replaced the midfielder. Steven Davis, Southampton changed from 4231 to 343.

This substitution is very interesting. On the one hand, Puel strengthened a defensive midfielder, and Ward Prouse and Mario Lemina formed a double defensive midfielder.Romeu and Raymond are separated on the two wings, and Tadic has a premise, forming a three-forward with Sean Long and the new Gabbiadini.

Obviously, Puel not only wants to strengthen the offense to equalize the score, but also wants to strengthen the defense so that he will not continue to concede the ball.

Puel's idea of ​​taking both ends into account quickly turned into a difficult one.

In the 73rd minute, Vardy used his speed to break through Romeu from the side, and then suddenly cut in, making a gesture to shoot, but sent a diagonal pass. Luke Shaw inserted behind and attracted the attention of the defender, but it was A contra-angle return pass was made, and Harry Kane followed up with a burst shot, and the football flew high into the stands.

There was a huge booing from the sky above St. Mary's Stadium. Southampton fans used this method to taunt Harry Kane. In fact, they were panicked.Although the ball hit an anti-aircraft gun, it shocked them into a cold sweat.
