Red Rebels

In the second half of the warm-up, Mourinho made a radical change.

The first is Crouch as a single striker, Malouda was replaced by Wright Phillips, Arau Diarra replaced Olic, and the team's formation immediately became 433.

As Mourinho said, playing 433 has higher requirements for each position of the team, but it also puts more pressure on the opponent, because 433 is the formation on offense. On defense, Mourinho and Bruce's The requirements are different, the team is required to recover in an orderly manner, and the two wingers have to retreat, which makes the formation 451, leaving a striker in front.

From the perspective of the scene, the players are still a little unfamiliar with Mourinho's requirements, especially at the moment of the transition from offense to defense, there are still some problems with the cooperation of the two wingers and fullbacks, and Terry and the 55th minute replace Garrett Distin's partner, who was on the court, was not tacit enough.

The most intuitive performance is that DeRoysden, who was surrounded by the new Manchester United in the second half, played a counterattack in the 78th minute. Neither and Distin were able to return to their positions in time. If Almunia, who came on as a substitute for Schmeichel, performed well, Jonathan Maiten might have scored.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines. He did not doubt the fighting spirit of the players on the pitch, but he was a little worried about the team's ability to adapt to the new tactics he laid out.

"Louis, it seems that the most urgent thing for us at the moment is not to adapt all the players to the new tactics and the new running system, but to form a main lineup as soon as possible." Mourinho looked at the performance of the players on the field, some said worriedly.

The assistant next to him, Louis Faria, nodded and said: "Yes, the head coach has been replaced, and half of the main players have been replaced. It is difficult for you to ask them to do more. As for the rotation, I think it should wait for the main lineup to run in well. after that."

There are so many matches in the League Three in the new season. It is impossible to play a season with only one lineup, so it can only be rotated. However, the problem Mourinho is facing now is that even the main lineup does not cooperate well. How to rotate ?

Maybe the more the rotation gets worse, the team's performance is poor, and the player's state also declines, that is fatal!

Although the implementation of the new tactics by the new Manchester United players is not thorough enough, the overall strength of the players is much higher than that of Droysden, so this warm-up match was easily won 3-0.

After the game, David Pace complained to Xiao Yu with great emotion, but he clearly realized that if he didn't work harder, Droysden would only be pulled farther and farther by the new Manchester United.

After the game, Mourinho took the players to the stands to thank the fans, and Walsh also announced on behalf of the club that all proceeds from the game would be used to set up a charitable foundation that serves the community , while Xiao Yu and David Pace donated £1 million and £500,000 respectively.

In addition, Walsh also took this opportunity to tell the fans that he has made preliminary intentions with the FA and will hold a charity cup at this stadium before each season in the future. The name of the cup is initially set to be the Newton Heath Cup , All ticket revenue, commercial sponsorship, etc. obtained by the Cup will be handed over to the charitable foundation to serve the community.

Walsh's remarks immediately aroused a burst of cheers from the fans. They are all grassroots. When they heard that the team they supported would consider them so, how could they not be moved?

After returning to the Newton Heath training base, some local reporters who heard the wind from the Butcher Knife Stadium chased after them one after another. Among them, Scarlett even got a private interview with Xiao Yu.

In this exclusive interview, Xiao Yu said that this is one of the measures taken by the new Manchester United to serve fans. In the future, the club will continue to launch more measures to help fans and players.

"I remember that the famous Scottish coach Jock Stein said that football is nothing without fans! The new Manchester United was founded by fans, so he will always belong to the fans and serve the fans. Club!"

In the Manchester City Evening News the next day, Xiao Yu's remarks made the front page headlines, and his words also caused a lot of reactions among Manchester fans, especially many fans responded to Xiao Yu's actions, generous Donate to support the Red Rebel Charitable Foundation.

Due to the overwhelming response from the fans, many foreign fans even expressed their support. For this reason, Xiao Yu specially opened a donation channel on the new Manchester United official website on the Internet, so that foreign fans can donate directly on the spot. .

Some fans are poor and some are rich, but the foundation has no prejudice. Whether it is a dollar or two, or those who donate dozens of hundreds of pounds, the new Manchester United fan department records all in detail, and then A nice little charity gift was sent to them according to the address they provided.

In addition, after the foundation is established, a set of files will be established for the list and information of those who donated. At that time, every expenditure and income of the foundation will be clearly announced on the Internet. Items, they will also receive some thank you cards from the other party, or a receipt for the whereabouts of their items, etc.

In order to accomplish this, Xiao Yu reached a cooperation with a local charity organization in Manchester when the foundation was established, and the other party sent personnel to help the new Manchester United organize and operate charity activities.

This move has caused a lot of repercussions in Manchester and England. Although the new Manchester United did not deliberately manipulate it, the English media can ignore it. They are digging deep into the ground to operate these gimmicky news. It indirectly helped the new Manchester United to make a name, and David Pace's Droysden also benefited a lot.

While Xiao Yu and Walsh were planning the foundation, the new Manchester United's pre-season training and warm-up games were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Since the game with Droysden, Mourinho has begun to consciously establish the main lineup, and then he will run in this main lineup. Whether it is in training or in the warm-up game, this main lineup has not changed. Pass.

As a striker, Mourinho originally favored Crouch, but after two warm-up games, he tragically discovered that he is tall and has a height advantage, but his header is very bad and his physical confrontation ability is very good. Weak, he can hardly hold a position in the penalty area, and it is okay to face those less confrontational central defenders, but once he encounters a strong central defender, he will be deflated.

On the contrary, Kitson performed well in the warm-up match. Although it cannot be said to be eye-catching, his power in the penalty area still makes Mourinho shine. You must know that he is also 1.91 meters tall, and he was born in a central defender. He is very strong and weighs 82 kilograms, which makes him a tank in the restricted area.

As for the center back combination, Garrett Turner is positioned by Mourinho as the team's backup, John Terry is the core of the defense appointed by Mourinho, Distin and Hangeland will compete for the other one Position, but according to the situation of the warm-up match, Distin obviously has an advantage over Hangeland, because the former is faster, and the latter has the same disadvantage as Terry, that is, the turning speed is slower.

Abidal was firmly nailed to the left-back position by Mourinho, which led to Evra having to serve as a substitute, as was Essien, the impressive young teenager in the World Junior Championship. Arau Diarra, a newcomer, grabbed the main position, which made them all feel a little uncomfortable.

However, they did not rebel, but after a conversation with Mourinho, they seemed to realize their own problems, and they were very active in training, as if they wanted to impress Mourinho through training.

It is in this context that the new Manchester United sits at the City Stadium and ushered in Liverpool's arch-nemesis Everton.

…………

…………

The current Everton is far from the Premier League powerhouse when David Moyes was coached. The current Everton is a Premier League team whose main goal is to avoid relegation for several consecutive years. The strength in the Premier League is only partial Midstream and even downstream.

But even so, Everton is still a Premier League team after all, especially since they successively introduced the talented English star Gascoigne this year; they introduced the Danish butcher Gravesen from Hamburg, who later moved to Real Madrid. Sendu admires the tough guy; also introduced the Italian defender Piston from Newcastle.

Although Bamby, who performed very well in the team last season, moved to Liverpool, the overall strength of Everton has not declined much, especially the arrival of Gravesson has injected a dose into Everton's midfield. Strong heart.

And in this warm-up match, Everton's performance really showed the terrifyingly powerful attacking power and overall advantages of the Premier League team, especially in the rhythm of offense-defense transition, which is even more powerful. The new Manchester United's nose goes.

The new Manchester United used 433 tactics in this game, but because the audience was suppressed, it looked more like 451. There was only one Kitson left in front of him as an arrow, but he was basically watched. Didn't play a big role.

However, although the counterattacks of the new Manchester United were always unsuccessful, Everton, who firmly held the advantage on the field, could not convert the advantage into a score, because they were ruthlessly imprisoned by the new Manchester United when they entered the halftime of the new Manchester United. .

Every player on the pitch firmly implemented the tactics Mourinho laid out before the game, and firmly controlled every inch of space in the backcourt, although Everton's players still rely on individual ability to get a few several chances, but ultimately failed to score.

The game ended with a dull score of 0-0, but this allowed the new Manchester United to once again experience the strength of the Premier League team, especially the traditional English team that emphasizes physical confrontation and fast-paced offense and defense like Everton. style team.

Of course, this is the first warm-up game after Everton's training camp, and the players are inevitably in a bad state, which is one of the reasons why the new Manchester United can control the backcourt.

But no matter what, Mourinho's team finally survived this test from the Premier League!
