Chapter 266 4-5-1
On August 8th, the Manchester United faced last season's league runner-up Manchester City in the Community Shield Cup.

Schmidt formed a true 4-4-2 lineup, Vardy and Irving partnered as forwards, midfielder Deisler, Beckham and Bell on both sides, Kanter as midfielder, four defenders Godin, Kompany, Coente Long and Kyle Walker, goalkeeper Ochoa.

For Manchester City, many familiar faces have disappeared. Sturridge and Charlie Sheringham partnered up front, Abed and Bolt were still on the wings, and Lampard continued to play as a free man in midfield.

In the defense, Ledley King and Gary Cahill formed a central defender combination, and Manchester City's strength has declined.

The goalkeeper position, Cech was also poached by Chelsea, and the young Joe Hart will become the main goalkeeper in the new season.

Less than 9 minutes into the game, Deisler passed several defensive players in the frontcourt and sent a through pass. Irving easily pushed to the far end, and Vardy pushed into the empty goal, 1:0!

Five minutes later, Deisler's breakthrough caused Lampard to foul. Both Deisler and Beckham stood in front of the ball, which made Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart Alexander.

Lampard also shook his head again and again. He felt a little embarrassed that he couldn't restrain a retired player.

After the whistle sounded, Deisler kicked the ball up. The ball went around the outside of the wall, hit the bottom of the post and flew into the goal, 2:0!

Deisler celebrated excitedly, but this made Schmidt on the sidelines start scratching his head. In this way, his formation was a bit awkward. It is unlikely that Deisler and Modric would go at the same time.

If it is a rotation, it depends on whether Modric will be happy. After all, many core players of the team don't like rotations and hope to play more games.

Schmidt felt that it was a pity to let either of them play as a substitute.

This is the trouble of happiness.

After that, the two sides scored a goal each, and the Manchester United finally defeated Manchester City 3:1 to win the Community Shield.

After the game, Manchester City coach Petgrini believed that Manchester City's playing style is very advanced and their cooperation is smooth. They have a chance to win more championships in the new season.

Schmidt is very satisfied with the team's tactical execution ability. The team's high-position press in the frontcourt once made Manchester City players feel desperate, and there were many on-the-spot fouls.

There is no doubt that Manchester City's playing style has completely restrained Manchester City.

施密特先后试验了4-4-2阵型和4-5-1阵型，两套阵型，显然还会有些区别，下半场后半段的4-5-1阵型，对手显然更难受。

However, only one of the team's four forwards plays a game, which seems a bit difficult to handle. This is testing Schmidt's influence in the locker room.

In this regard, the media is also full of expectations for the new season of the Manchester United, and is also full of curiosity about Schmidt, an unknown German coach. Of course, they also admire how Jia Yi found such a coach.

Many teams can't find a suitable coach, but the Mann have found one, and it doesn't cost much.

At the same time, the curse of the Community Shield was brought up again. It is generally difficult for a team that wins the Community Shield to defend the Premier League title. In this regard, the media also wondered whether Schmidt could do it.

On August 8, the Premier League kicked off.

Chelsea beat Hull City 4:0, and the new giants showed their unparalleled strength.

They poached Cech, Anelka, Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Malouda, Ballack and others this season, and invited Terry back from Manchester United. Champions go.

During the game, they did play very well and were full of dominance.

The Manchester United faced the newly promoted Birmingham City on the second day. Schmidt boldly used a 4-5-1 formation and Wright Adriano played as a lone striker.

6:0, Birmingham is looking for teeth everywhere!

Adriano scored 5 goals alone and became the focus of the audience, while Modric and Deisler each played 45 minutes and both had [-] assists, which also became the topic of media hype.

Especially the German media think that Deisler's breakthrough is more powerful and should start.

Some media also believe that the two can coexist and play double attacking midfielders, but in this way, the team's formation will have to be adjusted.

With double front midfielders in the front and double midfielders in the back, there are 6 midfielders. This formation is a bit difficult to handle.

It is impossible for Schmidt to play without a front lineup, and he doesn't like the three-back system.

Three days later, Manchester United played Hull City in an away game. Schmidt tried the 4-4-2 lineup again, and the result was 1:2. Manchester United defeated their opponents.

The double striker and Adriano both failed to score. Instead, Bell scored twice to help Manchester United win the away game.

In the third round, Mann returned to the 4-5-1 formation. Mann beat Wigan Athletic with 5 goals in an away game. Wright Adriano scored 4 goals by himself, scoring 9 goals in three games!
This also made Schmidt really hammer it!The 4-5-1 lineup is the most suitable tactic for him!

The four forwards may need to take turns to play.

Sure enough, in the fourth round, Schmidt arranged for Vardy to play as a single striker, and Manchester United played Arsenal away.

This season, Arsenal invited the German coach Heynckes. In the first three rounds, Arsenal also maintained a complete victory and played quite aggressively.

This game is also considered to be a contest between the German coaches. Whether the old coach has the last laugh or the new cutting-edge is more powerful, even the German media is paying attention.

Arsenal's ground attack is also very smooth, and they also hope to press the frontcourt.

It seems that both Klopp and Schmidt have learned from Heynckes.

In the 11th minute, after Arshavin made a breakthrough in the front court, he made a through pass. Bendtner split the side. Walcott then took the ball. Bendtner's header was saved by Ochoa to the bottom line.

In 15 minutes, it was still Arshavin's breakthrough. He has made great progress in time and space, and he is not injured. It was completely transformed by Jia Yi.

And Heynckes used Arshavin and Fabregas very well, and the two formed a chemical reaction, which made Arsenal play smoothly.

Arshavin made a pass after breaking through, Bendtner made a low shot, and the ball was thrown by Ochoa again, saving the baseline.

Seeing that the team was tight, Schmidt also walked to the sidelines and yelled, asking Kanter and Nur to increase the running range and intercept Arshavin more.

In the 18th minute, Kanter shoveled Arshavin. Although the latter jumped up, the ball was left behind.

The referee hesitated for a moment and signaled the game to continue without blowing his whistle.

Heynckes quit, and signaled to Kanter to light up the soles of his shoes. He had to give a card for an obvious foul.

The fourth official came to dissuade him, but Heynckes angrily threw his hand away. The fourth official immediately communicated with the referee. The referee paused the game, ran over and gave Heynckes a red card. sent out!
The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium booed all over the sky, obviously dissatisfied with the referee.

You sent the coach of the home team out, what does that mean?Obviously this is looking down on Arsenal.

As the game continued, Arsenal played even more aggressively. Heynckes was sent off. Most likely, his players wanted to save him some face.

In the 25th minute, Arshavin broke through and knocked horizontally. Fabregas did not stop the ball and turned it back. Arshavin caught the ball and entered the penalty area. , flew into the upper left corner of the goal, 1:0!

Arshavin excitedly ran to the sidelines and bowed to Heynckes!

There is something interesting about a Russian saluting a German.

In the stands, the Arsenal fans yelled wildly, and they were all venting their emotions at the moment.

The referee's previous penalty made them all feel aggrieved, and now it's time to get back on the field.
