Red Rebels

"What are you talking about, Jim? Let Essien play right back?" Bruce looked at Cassell in surprise. The latter's smile was a little stiff, but he seemed to feel good about the idea.

"I don't understand why you have such an idea, Jim, Essien has never played a full-back, and it's too risky to let him change positions now!" Bruce hesitated.

"No, Steve, you're right. Essien has never played as a full-back, but that doesn't mean he can't play, and his task is very simple, to freeze the opponent's No. 7, in terms of speed and body, Essien can completely suppress the opponent."

Cassel had to admire Xiao Yu for giving him such an idea at this time, but after hearing Xiao Yu's words, he had to admit that this was indeed a very good change.

"Essien played right back, Stasson recovered, played central back with Abidal and Distin, we attacked the left, let Evra, Krzynovic and Hleb play on the opponent's left, Their defense on the left isn't great!"

After hearing this, Bruce looked at Cassel in surprise. The latter shrugged his shoulders and knew in his heart that such a risky tactic was definitely not written by Cassel, and he must have been awakened by someone.

Speaking of this, Bruce raised his head and looked at the stands behind them. Xiao Yu was sitting not far behind them, looking at him with concern at this moment, and nodded, as if to say, just take this bet!

Bruce gritted his teeth and walked to the sidelines.

After a while, the new Manchester United got a chance for a throw-in, and Bruce immediately called Essien over!

"Michael, wait a minute you go to the right to play full-back, don't worry about anything, mark the opponent's number 7, let Stanson go to the center to play at center back, you tell Patrice and Alexander to attack the left, this game We absolutely can't lose!"

Essien was a little surprised by this order, because he had never played a full-back, but seeing Bruce's affirmative expression, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement, and then gritted his teeth and ran back to the field.

It didn't take long for the players on the field to receive Bruce's new instructions, and immediately followed the coach's arrangement. The new Manchester United lineup immediately changed from the previous 451 to 532, with Hleb cruising around Zikic.

…………

…………

It was the first time for Essien to stand in such a deep position, but he did not show too much discomfort, because playing as a midfielder in the midfield, his task is to defend, and when he retreats to the back line, his task is still to defend .

In the past, he was running all over the field, grabbing the ball as soon as he saw it, but now he has only one task, which is to keep an eye on the opponent's No. 7 and not give him any chance to pose a threat.

Morecambe's number 7 is a striker, speed is his biggest advantage, since the opening nearly 20 minutes, he has played very well, playing the opponent's tall and clumsy right back around, and now he has a black kid , He believes that this is the performance of the new Manchester United afraid of him.

But soon, Essien gave the opponent a slap in the face.

Faced with the adjustment of the new Manchester United, Morecambe did not respond in time. After all, their performance in the first 20 minutes was too good. It is impossible for the head coach to make adjustments at this time and disrupt the rhythm on the pitch, so they are still used to Sexually want to cut in from the left.

But who knows, when they passed the ball to No. 7, Essien suddenly accelerated from behind and broke the ball ahead of time.

After stealing the ball, it was passed to Juninho, who retreated in the middle and hit the midfielder. The latter stopped the ball lightly, slowly controlled the rhythm, and then passed it to Paulson. A central midfielder from Morecambe stepped forward Pressed, the latter immediately passed back to Essien who stepped forward to meet, and then Essien passed it to Juninho Jr.

It was just a circular pass, but the rhythm of the game was completely controlled. Morecambe also began to recycle to its own half, and the new Manchester United slowly organized the attack.

Although at the end of this attack, Zikic's header failed to pose a threat, it was a good sign.

"That's the way to play!" Bruce kept waving his hands on the sidelines, signaling the players on the field not to be too impatient.

Schmeichel called the three centre-backs as the opposition goalkeeper was about to take the goal kick.

"Eric, wait a minute for you and Griffin to attack, don't worry about being behind, Sylvain retreats a little to kick the sweeper, and organizes the defense at the same time, this will make our defense more layered, understand?" Schmeichel Er shouted loudly.

The three of Abidal nodded immediately.

After making a series of adjustments, the new Manchester United really began to stabilize the situation. Although Morecambe still played exclusively on the left, under Essien's marking, the opponent's No. 7 player hardly got any chances, especially It was after several fierce but accurate tackles by Essien that he completely withered.

The threat from the right was gone, the new Manchester United finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was time for Morecambe's head coach to let the team strengthen their defense. Obviously in the first half they only planned to keep the two-goal lead .

However, the new Manchester United obviously did not intend to let it go like this. They were put in two ways. If they did not find some ground, it would not be the new Manchester United. Therefore, after Morecambe recovered, the new Manchester United consciously strengthened their offense, especially in the Attack on Morecambe's right flank.

Since this season, Patrice Evra has not been able to continue to go forward and create threats in the Northwest Second Division last season. After all, his main task this season is defense, and Bruce has also assigned him a heavy defensive task. It has improved his defensive ability, but his offensive progress has slowed down instead.

But that doesn't mean he won't attack.

Krzynovic cuts inside frequently, and the entire left side is exposed in front of Evra. In addition, Abidal behind him will help him fill in the position. Evra, who has no worries about the future, frequently advances.

When Junior Juninho is defended by the opposing player, as long as he looks to the left, Evra can always be found, and then the ball is passed, and the latter immediately drives the ball decisively along the left.

"Here, Patrice!" Hleb demanded, holding up his hand as he faced the opposing right-back.

Evra immediately put the ball at his feet.

Hleb leaned on the opponent and stopped the ball skillfully. First he pretended to move towards the left line, but suddenly knocked the ball back with his right foot. With a pull of his left foot, he was already tricked into shifting his center of gravity to the left. It is impossible for defensive players to stop him.

After Hleb passed one of the opponent's players, he was not in a hurry at all, because he clearly saw that Krzynovic and Juninho had already come up, while the high center Zikic was firmly on the ground. Occupying the most advantageous position in the penalty area, in this case, a hasty final blow is undoubtedly a waste of opportunity.

A central defender of the opponent saw that Hleb wanted to enter the penalty area and immediately stepped forward to block the position, but the latter suddenly knocked the ball back to Evra who was inserted in the back row. After Evra took the ball Passed directly to the middle.

Krzynovic missed on purpose, and Juninho, who followed behind him, caught up with him, stopped the ball, and shot angrily, all in one go!

The ball was like a free kick from Juninho Jr., drawing a strange arc in the air, then quickly falling in the penalty area, rubbing the crossbar and hitting the net, 2:1!

In the 34th minute of the first half, the new Manchester United finally took a breath and recovered a goal!

This goal has greatly boosted the morale of the new Manchester United, especially for the new Manchester United players whose momentum was suppressed before. Once the pressure is released, the anger caused by the rebound will be enough to overwhelm any opponent. collapse.

However, Morecambe's head coach is also scheming. He has seen the signs of the new Manchester United's recovery, so he decisively asked the players on the field to recover and use the speed of No. 7 to start a defensive counterattack.

The time of the first half passed minute by minute like this, but on the scoreboard beside the court, the score of 2:1 has never changed!

…………

"Morecambe has surrendered, guys, they have surrendered, so start playing back!" Bruce clenched his fists in the dressing room and said vigorously, which caused his fat body to tremble a little.

"Although we are still behind in the score, it doesn't matter. There are still 45 minutes left, and we still have a chance. In the second half, we will attack from the beginning, in the way we are best at, with fierce and unreasonable attacks. Disintegrate their fighting spirit and make them surrender!"

When the players heard this, almost everyone's eyes spit fire.

Indeed, being overwhelmed by Morecambe in the first 20 minutes of the first half annoyed the new United players in retrospect, and they wanted to vent their anger.

"Our tactics were good in the first half, but not good enough, Michael, you didn't play right back, but you played well in the first half, but you should go forward more often and boldly, especially after Patrice came back. When the time comes, you should go up, and there are Christian and Griffin behind you, and they will fill in for you!"

After hearing this, Essien nodded immediately, looked at his teammates beside him, and all smiled in unison.

"Alexander, I hope you can entangle the opponent's right back in the second half, use your skills, use your speed, Mr. Xiao Yu, the chairman, once said that the Chinese have a saying called an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, since the first half If they beat us with this tactic in one game, then we will pay back double in the second half!"

Hleb immediately stood up and agreed loudly. In the last 20 minutes of the first half, the opponent's right back was tortured almost by him, and Hleb's skills are second to none in the new Manchester United. Even the Brazilian star Jr. Juninho is not as good as him, which makes it difficult for him to lose the ball when facing even two players.

"Okay, guys, our overall team is stronger than the opponent, and our individual ability is better than the opponent, so we should be more qualified than the opponent to go to the third league. As we said before this season, we were originally The goal of the season is the championship, and now I will add another one, the double championship, we will win the double championship for two consecutive years, do you have confidence?"

"have!"

"Of course I have confidence!"

The players in the locker room raged in response to Bruce's call!

"Well, in the second half, we will use our strength to fight back against our opponents and defeat them. At least half of the championship is already in our hands!"

"Fuck them!" The players roared out of the locker room!
