Chapter 317

The way Mourinho proposed to use Pogba is to give full play to Pogba's offensive advantages, put Pogba in front, and then let Ye Tian do the sweeping protection behind him.

What Ye Tian was doing at this time was similar to Kanter's work at Chelsea, doing dirty work, filling in for teammates, and so on.

Manchester United, a Chinese star, has fast speed, good physical fitness, hard work, active defense, and has a very good long pass. Obviously he can do this job well.

Faria said, let Ye Tian wipe other people's butts, it doesn't count!

Because he can do more!
In terms of offense, he is currently the team's second-leading scorer, and in terms of assists, he is currently the top scorer in the Premier League.

Such a player should be given more free space, and should not run back and forth with tasks such as defending his teammates.

He can have, and deserves to have, the first disposal right on the field.

Anyone else can only be an assistant.

Mourinho also agrees with this statement, but in this way, will Pogba's ability be wasted?
At the competitive level, through these games, the coaching staff finally got the Pogba instruction manual.

Pogba likes to dribble the ball. When he is in position to advance the offense, if he can pass the opponent, it is a good shot. If he cannot pass the opponent and the ball is intercepted, his position is relatively low, which will have a major impact on the team.

Even in the Juventus period, when he was advancing, he often lost many opportunities because of his dribbling preference, and some opportunities to be counter-robbed by opponents occurred.

And his highlight moments are usually when the team switches from defense to offense.

At this time, the opponent did not succeed in positioning, and his dribbling can help the team gain a favorable position, which is a great improvement for himself and the team.

In fact, if Pogba walks on the side in a fast advance, his rhythm is always very good, and it is difficult for the opponent to know whether he is going to pass the ball or break through.

However, for Pogba to play like this at Manchester United, he needs to be equipped with a powerful sweeper, Herrera + Fellaini, the combination of the two is competent, and Ye Tian can also cover it.

But just like what Faria said, Ye Tian doesn't count for this job!
This is a problem at the competitive level. As a head coach, Mourinho also needs to consider the psychological level of the players.

The title of king made Pogba fly up to the clouds, Ye Tian has been working hard and can't ignore his thoughts.

"Press Pogba down and play the second team!"

Mourinho finally reached a unity with Faria.

There will definitely be ups and downs in Pogba's heart, but maybe this is an inspiration for him.

Then, next, it's time to see the actual effect.

……

10月27日，16/17赛季英格兰联赛杯1/8决赛开启，曼联主场对阵曼城，本赛季的第二次曼市德比。

这是第172场曼彻斯特德比，曼联此前71胜51平49负占据上风。双方在联赛杯历史上6次交手，双方均在主场保持不败，曼联2胜1平3负。

The head coaches of the two sides have played against each other 17 times. Guardiola has 7 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses, and has the upper hand.

For Guardiola, Manchester City is currently winless in five consecutive games. If he still cannot win this game, he will achieve the first 6 consecutive games without winning coaching achievements.Of course, Mourinho is happy to give his friend this achievement.

However, Guardiola himself has no pressure on this.

"We will try our best to win, but if we don't win, it doesn't matter to me. Our team is in a difficult period. We often play three times a week. I will consider the physical condition of the players to arrange the game. Will sacrifice the health of the players for his own sake. Of course, winning is the hope of all of us."

The game took place at Old Trafford, where United fans, having just beaten rivals in September, continued to revel in an attempt to bring that influence to the players.

Ferguson also continued to sit in the stands to watch Manchester United's home game.

Both Guardiola and Mourinho have made some major changes to the starting XI.

Manchester United 4-2-3-1, goalkeeper Romero, the back line is composed of Shaw, Blind, Rojo, Valencia, two midfielders Herrera, Ye Tian, ​​front midfielder Pogba, Mata, Rashford, striker Ibrahimovic.

Blind returned to central defender, Rojo replaced Smalling, Bailey was on the injured list, and the goalkeeper was rotated.

Manchester City 4-1-4-1, goalkeeper Caballero, defenders Clichy, Otamendi, Kompany, and 19-year-old Maffeo, midfielder Fernandinho, four forwards Navas, Sane, Garcia, Nolito, striker Isinacho.

De Bruyne, Smalling, Aguero, etc., take turns.

Mourinho made it clear in the team that Ye Tian has the first organizational right, and Pogba can have the second organizational right.

He wanted to use Manchester City to try again, whether Pogba and Ye Tian could coexist.

Manchester City almost broke the goal in just 2 minutes of the opening game. Navas used his speed to make a strong pass from the right, but Isinacho jumped to the top from close range.

Then Manchester United fought back at home!
Ye Tian's long pass found Mata on the left, and Mata passed the ball to the center in an inverted triangle. Under the influence of Kompany, Pogba suddenly passed the ball, which made Ibrahimovic on the right Some were caught off guard.

Quickly adjust your steps and step forward, then hit the door with your right foot.

A little hasty, lack of preparation, hit the ball a little higher.

But anyway, it does create an opportunity.

Mourinho clearly saw that after Ibrahimovic hit the goal high, Pogba spread his hands to Ibrahimovic and muttered something in his mouth. Ibrahimovic looked back before he stopped talking.

Jot down this detail in your own little notebook and continue to command the team from the sidelines.

After all, it is the second team of Manchester City. In several positions, there are young people with inexperience, especially their right side, the 19-year-old Maffeo.

Manchester United players can also see it, so they actively besieged Maffeo.

Luke Shaw cooperated with Rashford and cut into the left side of the penalty area to pass back. Pogba stopped the ball and shot high from the edge of the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic made a direct pass in the counterattack, and Rashford flashed Otamendi's shovel on the left side of the penalty area and then the shot was blocked by Maffeo in time.

Pogba made a diagonal pass to Ibrahimovic from the right, and Caballero attacked in time to intercept and save.

Blind made a wrong pass, and Isinacho's shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Ye Tian.

It was still Ye Tian's pass to Ibrahimovic at 30 meters in the frontcourt. Ibrahimovic went straight behind the opponent's defense line. Rashford moved quickly and dunked Kompany, but the shot was a bit slower. Caught in a siege, there was no threat.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United almost scored.

From Ibrahimovic's pass, Pogba's shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Caballero and then hit the near corner post.

The two sides drew a goalless draw in the first half. From the perspective of the scene, Manchester United had the upper hand, but the opponent was Manchester City's second team. This result is somewhat unreasonable.

Mourinho was satisfied with the opportunities created by Manchester United in the first half, but in terms of the last pass and the finish...

Mourinho began to adjust.

Pogba went down, Carrick came up, formed a double midfielder with Herrera, and Ye Tian returned to the frontcourt.

Seeing this substitution, the old players of Manchester United knew in their hearts that it would be difficult for Pogba to get the right to be the first organization again.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United got a chance.

Ye Tian made a breakthrough in the frontcourt and let Rashford pass back easily from the left. Unfortunately, Mata's shot was too straight and was confiscated by Caballero.

However, Manchester United's tide-like offensive did not end.

In the 47th minute, Carrick made a long pass to Ibrahimovic. The latter squeezed away Otamendi to get the ball and broke into the penalty area with a low pass on the left. Herrera and Fernandinho fought in the penalty area and both fell down. Mata, who was defended by the defender, pushed the shot into the net at the first time from 10 yards.

Just 2 minutes later, Ye Tian passed Ibrahimovic again over the top after stealing the ball in the middle circle. The unmarked Ibrahimovic scored a goal with a strong shot in the penalty area!
Two goals behind, Manchester City began to make substitutions, Sterling replaced Sane.

Manchester United also started to counterattack. After the ball was intercepted in the backcourt, they could find Ye Tian immediately, and then Ye Tian could always find the best way to deal with it either by passing or leading.

A ball was given to Rashford on the left to form the latter's breakthrough pass, but Ibrahimovic missed in the middle.

Then the ball was given to Ibrahimovic again, who made a wonderful pass to Rashford, but failed to form an effective goal.

Mourinho shook his head as he watched off the court. Of course, these interactions are good, but they always bloom but fail to bear fruit. What is this?

In the 64th minute, Manchester City Aguero replaced Nolito, and Manchester City planned to make a last-ditch effort.

Ye Tian stood up.

Just 3 minutes after Aguero came on the field, Ye Tian held the ball 30 meters in the frontcourt. After a series of quick passes with Rashford and Ibrahimovic, he broke into the penalty area and made a fake shot, scoring the first goal of the game. Three goals, completely kill the game.

Since then, Mourinho has closed his notebook.

Let Ye Tian guard Pogba's back, it really doesn't count!
