Chapter 80 The Stubborn Solskjaer
The starting lineups of both sides.
Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-2-1):
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Thilo Krell, Thiago Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat.
Midfielder: Neymar, Marquinhos, Yile, Kante, Mbappe.
Forward: Cavani.
.....
Manchester United: (5-3-2):
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Luke Shaw, Lindelof, Bailly, Smalling, Ashley Young.
Midfielder: Pereira, Pogba, Fred.
Forwards: Rashford, Lukaku.
Manchester United's formation was immediately speechless.
In this decisive game, Solskjaer still adopted this defensive formation, which is really frustrating.
The old Manchester United fan's speech didn't seem to have any impact on him. On the contrary, it made him even more aggressive and eager to prove himself.
When it was supposed to be an attack, he put on such a formation like an angry child.
Of course, the 5-3-2 formation is not that unbearable. This formation places great demands on the two full-backs. They must not only maintain their defensive work, but also step in in time to make up for certain offensive deficiencies for the team.
If Liverpool plays like this, it won't matter. After all, their two full-backs are really enviable.
But Manchester United is...emmmmmmm.
As soon as Yi Le saw this formation, he found three breakthrough points.
First: Make full use of your own full-backs and play an English-style long pass. Although Paris' style is not this tough football style, it does not mean that they cannot play it. The problem is that Paris' current two full-backs are defensive, Militang is still sitting on the bench, and has shown symptoms of acclimatization to the Champions League, so he can only give up.
Second: counterattack,
It is feasible to give the ball to Manchester United and use Yile as the pivot to directly hit the ball and hit a quick counterattack, but Yile does not want to play like this.
Then, only the last resort remains.
The biggest drawback of this formation is that the midfielder must be powerful.
Solskjaer put up a lineup of Pereira, Pogba and Fred just to go head-to-head. Since the opponent has already issued a challenge, Yi Le has no reason not to accept it.
If Yi Le were more tactful, he could completely retreat and kill his opponent.
But Yi Le didn't plan to do that, it was just over!
Perhaps it was because of the game formation, but as soon as the game started, the smell of gunpowder was extremely strong.
"The midfielders on both sides are actively running and pressing. Both teams have a strong desire to occupy the midfield position, especially Yi. He played very actively in this game." Old Monet said with a smile. "This is a good sign. Due to tactical arrangements in the last game, Yi was passive for the entire first half, so he was venting his anger."
"That's right, just play like this and teach the Manchester United people a lesson!"
boom! ! ! !
Neymar and Fred collided. They are both Brazilian internationals, but neither of them had any intention of letting go.
Fred directly made a tackle, while Neymar cleverly avoided it, but was soon knocked to the ground by Pogba who bullied him.
After stopping Paris' attack, Pogba and Fred turned back to defend, looking very active.
Neymar also shook his head and stood up, with some anger in his eyes.
He hates physical contact, but that doesn't mean he will be timid!
Yi Le ran over to ask. Neymar shook his head and said: "I'm fine, but they played very violently in this game."
Hearing this, Yi Le Yangguang smiled and said: "If you don't lose the momentum, this is our home court."
Neymar smiled and said: "Hey! I knew you would do this!"
The free kick in the frontcourt is taken by Yile, and now Yile is already the first free kicker in Paris.
At the same time, he also firmly controls the right to serve corner kicks on both sides.
Of course, if there are other special arrangements, other people will also take free throws.
Yile stood at the penalty spot and did not choose to take a quick free kick, but kept turning his head to observe.
The free kick was not in a good position and could not constitute a direct or indirect goal, so Yile chose a short pass.
He passed it to Mbappe, who passed it back and the ball returned to Yile's feet.
Seeing this scene, one of the children in the stands was surprised and said: "This is an alternate ball, used to reorganize the offense!"
Yi Tianxing smiled, nodded, and asked, "So, what will they do next?"
The child took it for granted; "Continue to send back the message!"
If you want to regain control of the ball, you must lengthen the front line. Now that Manchester United players are crowded near the penalty area, it is necessary to seduce them.
However, this is the way most youth training plays, and it is also limited by the children's skills and vision. In the professional arena, this kind of ball will not be passed back, but pressed in to continue to exert pressure.
Sure enough, Paris did not retreat, but began to engage in a positional war, launching their crazy bombardment around Manchester United.
Since the ribs are firmly occupied by the Paris midfielder and the entire formation moves forward, Paris controls the rib area. When Manchester United pushes the ball out, the Paris players will complete the recovery work immediately, and then pass it to Yile to continue to suppress .
This is Paris' very unreasonable playing style. It is very suppressive, but it also carries huge risks.
Among the current teams, except for Paris, it is estimated that no team dares to play this way.
The pressure exerted by Paris was too much, especially with Yi Le floating on the periphery and using his broad vision to provide breakthrough opportunities for the team. Manchester United's defensive pressure was increasing day by day.
"Kick them out! Kick them out! Don't let them enter the penalty area!"
"Ashley Young, stop Mbappe, it's best to kill him!"
"Cavani is coming up, keep an eye on him!"
The Manchester United players roared crazily. They guarded the penalty area and could only defend passively.
Although they didn't want to admit it, their tactics didn't come out, but were suppressed by Yi Le.
"Damn it! When will this bad situation end!"
In the nearly three-minute bombardment, Manchester United's defensive players exerted a lot of physical energy. They had to withstand not only physical pressure, but also mental pressure.
Bailly felt like he was almost out of breath. Although it was not the first time he faced this kind of scene, every time he faced Paris, he felt extremely suffocated.
In particular, Yi Le's way of passing through seams made him mentally and physically exhausted.
In the stands, Paris fans cheered one after another. They liked the way the home team was so arrogant and unreasonable.
This kind of suppression is dangerous, yes, but it's really fun to watch.
The young players brought over by Yi Tianxing were all stunned.
Why can they be so oppressive?
The little guys felt a huge shock.
This way of playing football is beyond their understanding.
"Is this...a career?"
One of the little guys muttered to himself.
There was an inexplicable look in the eyes of every little guy, and it was obvious that this game had a great impact on them.
