Greenery Reverses The Madness

Tuchel was in high spirits after the game.

Mourinho was finally asked a humiliating question by a Fleet Street reporter: If you can't come back in the second round, will you resign?

Woodward looked gloomy when he left Old Trafford, obviously dissatisfied with the result that Manchester United not only failed to win against Paris Saint-Germain at home, but also had two people sent off.

After the game, morale in the locker room was a little low, but Mourinho clapped his hands to cheer everyone up when he came back.

This time he did not pass the blame, and even surprisingly admitted that the team performed well at home today!

To be fair, Manchester United's performance was not bad.

Facing an opponent like Paris Saint-Germain, are they ahead of their opponents in terms of physical strength?

not necessarily.

Moreover, the desire to win and establish an advantage in home games also gives Paris Saint-Germain a perfect environment for defensive counterattacks.

It's right on target.

The situation is not good, but there is still hope.

Mourinho may have been mentally prepared for the two rounds of knockout rounds, which will definitely be a torment and cannot be won easily.

Motivate the players and let everyone go home and have a good rest.

Even gave the team a day off.

The players feel better mentally.

The anti-King Pogba is very depressed.

Can't get on the next round.

The plan to cause trouble in the Parc des Princes was completely dead.

When the players were preparing to go home, Mourinho left Ye Yifeng in the locker room.

Sitting in front of the closet, Ye Yifeng was fully dressed, and Mourinho sat next to him. Entering 2019, the Magic Bird, who looked more white-haired and obviously older, put aside his pride or conceit.

He was frank and honest with Ye Yifeng, and there was a bit of weakness and struggle in his words.

Ye, we have come to a very difficult situation.

I know.

Ye Yifeng nodded slightly.

I saw your dedication in the game, you tried your best, and you must be in a dilemma.

Ye Yifeng forced out a smile.

You can't blame your opponent for paying too much attention to him, right?

“The dilemma before me is that we don’t have the defensive quality to defend on the counter-attack in top-level engagements.

You are the one the team relies on most in offense. Where do you put yourself?

Forward, you get insufficient support, Pogba is good, but he is not Pirlo, Modric, Iniesta.

In the midfield position, our striker's ability to seize opportunities is at odds with luck.

Ye Yifeng still nodded slightly.

During his three years at Atletico Madrid, Simeone always put defense first. Atletico Madrid relied on its strong team defensive capabilities to create unlimited possibilities in offense.

Manchester United?

It seems like there are too many elements of a top team missing.

A strong defense, a solid and creative midfield, and a terrifyingly lethal striker.

What troubles Mourinho is that Manchester United's defense can no longer consider these elements.

As for midfielder and forward, only one can barely reach the top level. The key depends on where Ye Yifeng plays.

Whether you give him a top midfielder or a top forward, Manchester United's overall strength may change qualitatively.

Pogba will be suspended for the second round, and Manchester United's hope of making a comeback at the Parc des Princes has been reduced a lot.

He turned to look at Ye Yifeng and asked: What position do you think you can play to make this team stronger?

Mourinho did not lose his judgment, but gave the choice to Ye Yifeng.

Because Ye Yifeng can play as a forward or midfielder, he can play anywhere.

Put him in different positions and Mourinho will develop different techniques and tactics.

But now he wanted to hear Ye Yifeng's thoughts.

If he were just pursuing goals and statistics, Ye Yifeng would undoubtedly choose a forward.

And his answer to Mourinho was as expected.

Midfield.

Mourinho turned to stare at him and said solemnly: Then let's see what happens.

The corners of Ye Yifeng's mouth raised slightly.

...

Before the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, Manchester United has three Premier League games to play.

First up is the English Derby!

Manchester United faces the Red Army Liverpool at home.

The two teams are 5 points apart, and this matchup is considered a key contest for Manchester United to improve their title hopes.

But the timing didn't come well.

Manchester United and Liverpool have just finished playing in the Champions League.

Manchester United drew 3:3 with Paris Saint-Germain at home.

Liverpool had a goalless draw with Bayern Munich at home for 90 minutes, and the cost was also considerable.

When the double red club started the battle at Old Trafford, Mourinho put up a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Ashley Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Luke Shaw.

Midfielder: Herrera, McTominay, Ye Yifeng, Pogba.

Forwards: Lukaku, Rashford.

Martial's injury left the striker lacking, but in terms of the league championship and the Champions League comeback, Mourinho chose the latter.

From the beginning of this game, Ye Yifeng was placed in the attacking midfield position.

There is a process of training in playing style.

Klopp did not dare to take it lightly and still responded with all his main players.

Goalkeeper: Alisson.

Defenders: Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson.

Midfielder: Wijnaldum, Henderson, Fabinho.

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Although the Red Army is the league leader, they also put on a defensive counterattack posture in the away game.

Klopp's intention is obvious and he will be satisfied if he can escape from Old Trafford.

Although this may give Manchester City a chance to chase points.

But he may not be confident that he can capture Old Trafford.

After all, I still have a deep fear of that man.

What kept him from getting nervous was that the man wasn't playing forward today.

The Red Army wanted to counterattack and their formation shrank in the backcourt.

The Red Devils did not dare to speed up and organized the offensive patiently.

When the calm game passed for 10 minutes, Ye Yifeng began to continuously deliver risky through balls to Lukaku and Rashford with the midfield support of Pogba and Herrera.

Although the success rate is not high, he tries frequently.

This style of play allows Manchester United's midfielder to retreat to form an interception line to contain Liverpool's quick counterattack no matter what the outcome of the attack.

Van Dijk and Matip resolved dangerous situations one after another.

Rashford is in good form, but Lukaku's performance has declined somewhat.

Liverpool's midfield was suppressed, and Robertson, the wing pusher, was very restrained. Arnold was on the bench today because Klopp was worried that Ye Yifeng would blow up their right defense.

Therefore, Milner was chosen to start.

As a result, Liverpool's counterattack turned into a South American style, with the striker fending for itself. Breaking in, cooperating, creating, and finishing all depended on Firmino, Mane, and Salah.

Manchester United still controlled the scene very well, and the defense did not experience major risks.

At the end of the half, the two teams ended in a goalless draw.

In the second half, Ye Yifeng continued to frequently deliver threatening balls to the two forwards.

The effect is getting worse and worse.

Because the success rate was low before.

Manchester United seems to be trying to repeatedly attack Liverpool's penalty area and take chances!

As long as you get it done once, you will be satisfied.

However, Liverpool's defense produced a performance that Mourinho would envy.

Van Dijk is also the most stable man among defenders in the Premier League.

So Ye Yifeng began to lead his teammates on the midfield line to take turns bombing with long-range shots!

His own condition still has not returned to its peak.

Since returning from the Asian Cup, this is already the third game. The team is facing internal and external troubles and multiple factors. He must first lead the team to find a rhythm in which the entire team can operate freely.

After 70 minutes of the game, the fighting between the two teams became intense.

Yellow cards are flying everywhere.

Neither wants to lose.

Ye Yifeng cheated and gained a new prize pool.

Adebayor in the 07-08 season made him a little confused.

When his consciousness returned to reality, he restrained himself and did not stand directly on the front line. In the last 10 minutes of the game, he rushed into the penalty area to grab points from time to time.

General effect.

He didn’t leave the center to go wide.

Worried about not being able to suppress Liverpool's midfielder after leaving the center!

The game ended in 90 minutes.

The two teams shook hands and settled for a draw 0:0.

Even though Manchester United had superior statistics, Liverpool retreated from Old Trafford with its solid defense.

After the Fleet Street game, it sounded the death knell for Manchester United: the Red Devils are out of the title race!

Some media also pointed their finger at Ye Yifeng: The Red Devils' super giant's participation in the Asian Cup ruined Manchester United's efforts throughout the season!

The media can be irresponsible and have no moral bottom line to criticize Ye Yifeng's actions to gain honor for the country's war.

But even if some people in the Manchester United team dare to think so, they dare not say it out loud.

Manchester City narrowly defeated Everton in this round.

Liverpool is 1 point ahead of Manchester City and 5 points ahead of Manchester United in the standings.

The 28th round of the midweek league starts fast.

As a guest to challenge Crystal Palace, Manchester United continued the style of play they played against Liverpool, but made changes in personnel.

Pogba rested and Matic started.

On the forward line, Lukaku sat on the bench, and the 17-year-old Aoki made his first appearance in the Premier League.

In the final round of the Champions League group stage at the end of last year, Greenwood had already made his career debut under Mourinho, although he only played 3 minutes as a substitute.

Greenwood looked visibly nervous as he stood in the tunnel before his start today.

Ye Yifeng took the initiative to smile at him and said: In the first game of my career, my mind was almost blank all the time.

Greenwood grinned when he heard this and said: I won't believe your nonsense. You want to say that you are at a loss on the court, right?

Then what? Leading the team's comeback in his career debut.

This is the truth.

Ye Yifeng laughed.

It turns out that Master Aoki knows his history very well.

Even he himself had almost forgotten the whole process of his debut in Penafiel.

Crystal Palace is still fighting for relegation, but the situation does not make them feel a sense of crisis, and they have opened some distance from the relegation zone.

Manchester United took the initiative to press their opponents at the beginning, and Ye Yifeng continued to take risks and frequently deliver threatening balls.

Mesozoic England star Rashford and new generation England star Greenwood took turns attacking the two ribs of the water-attack penalty area.

Crystal Palace is not Liverpool, they need more troops to fill the space in the penalty area.

This allows Manchester United to have better room for movement in the front area of ​​the penalty area.

Herrera and McTominay's long-range shots troubled the Crystal Palace defense inside and outside.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng, who had been playing the ball, suddenly received a pass from Herrera on the penalty area line. Greenwood moved inside to form a containment. Ye Yifeng adjusted the ball and fired a powerful shot.

The football flew directly over the near corner of the goal and hit the dead center!

Manchester United won the away game first.

Ye Yifeng feels that after several games of alternating strength and weakness, his state is not far from the peak!
