Chapter Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine: Attacking the Sidewalk!

After a minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the first half.

The Manchester United players happily walked off the pitch, and Kintag gave them high-fives one by one, and was very satisfied with the performance of the players.

On the other side, the Paris players looked very heavy on their feet.

In the first 40 minutes of the first half, they played evenly with their opponents, at least from the point of view of the score. But I didn't expect that in the 5 minutes before the end of the game, they conceded consecutive goals, and finally suffered a crushing defeat and were completely defeated by Manchester United.

Although there are 45 minutes left in the game, the Paris players seem to have lost their souls ahead of time.

In the hearts of the Paris players, the 6-3 game last season has become a nightmare in their hearts. Before this game, Emery tried his best to encourage the players, so that everyone still had some hope in their hearts.

Maybe that game last season was just an accident? Maybe it's just Lewandowski's shit luck?

Maybe we can turn this game around?

But after 45 minutes of playing, they were a little desperate.

Is this the true strength of the seven-time champion Manchester United?

No matter how we kick, as long as they use a little force, we will be defeated.

Is this the strength gap between the Ligue 1 overlord and the European overlord?

Since Manchester United scored the second goal, they have been thinking about it. Now that Jin has returned to the dressing room, Emery has closed the door, and the Paris players are still silent in the conceded goal just now.

At this time, Emery seemed to have lost the arrogance he had at the beginning of the game. He said slowly: "You played well in the opening stage. Although you were once suppressed by Manchester United's offense, after 20 minutes, our midfield was suppressed. Going up, the offensive advantage has lasted for a long time. The conceded goal in the last five minutes was just an accident, so don’t take it too seriously. We still have 45 minutes, and you will definitely be able to overtake the score, cheer up!”

While Emery did his best to boost morale, those words did little to help the PSG players, whose confidence had been shattered by Manchester United.

Several old players headed by Cavani echoed Emery's words and encouraged their teammates, but with little success.

At this moment, Neymar suddenly stood up: "Coach, I have some personal thoughts about the second half of the game."

Emery nodded: "Tell me."

Neymar came to the tactical board. He pointed in the direction of Manchester United's goal and chatted with his teammates about his thoughts.

"I think the coach is right. Manchester United's two goals just now are definitely due to luck. It's not that we are worse than them. And in many offensive opportunities, we were only one step away from scoring. It was luck. I hope you don’t take losing the ball too much.”

"For example, in the opening opportunity, we almost took the lead at the beginning. It's a pity. And just before Manchester United's second goal, we also had a good opportunity. If it weren't for Alonso's sudden return to defense, we might have scored that goal. In!"

"As for this attack, I have some thoughts: In this attack, we used our offensive advantages to the extreme. First, Rabiot's midfielder protected the ball, then Di Maria's decisive breakthrough, and until the end Verratti was far away. Shooting in one go, with tacit cooperation. But if the offense can be played a little more carefully, maybe there will be better results."

Emery's eyes lit up: "Neymar, I feel the same way! Tell me what you think first."

Neymar smiled slightly, and he went on to say: "Verratti's shot went straight to the dead corner, which was already very good. But before Verratti shot, Alonso had already started to retreat early, and De Gea Also moving towards that side post, they almost sealed the angle. But I was in a good position!"

"Because of Alonso's retreat, he and I have opened a certain distance. If I can distribute the ball to me, my position may get a better chance to attack the goal, and the possibility of scoring a goal is greater!"

"and also,

That's Draxler behind me. When Xiaode moved forward with Verratti, he was always beside Verratti, in the middle of the front of the penalty area. But the seat behind me is also empty! If Xiaode can pull the side, and then Verratti passes the ball to the side, then our chances are also very good, after all, there are many outflanking points in the penalty area! "

"Although Manchester United blocked us in the first half, their defense is not without loopholes. I think if we can make more use of the width of the field and make some changes in the parallel position of the midfield, if Di Maria and I face When defending, Rabiot and Djokovic tried to go forward from behind me and hit the winger position, and then Di Maria and I chose to cut inside, or directly rushed into the penalty area as the second striker to meet Cavani. Produced great results!"

After Neymar said those words, Emery smiled. He stood up, nodded to Neymar, and handed a note to Neymar for the players to pass.

The Paris players opened the note, only to see the position of Paris' starting lineup drawn on the note. And at the position of Rabiot and Draxler, there is a long arrow pointing forward, extending directly to the bottom line!

Neymar was immediately overjoyed: "Coach, so you think so too!"

Emery nodded, and he said with relief: "I am very happy, you have matured. In the situation where you were behind in the first half, not only did you not lose your fighting spirit, but you were also able to calmly analyze the situation of the game and understand the situation in the second half. I can’t offer my own advice. I feel so relieved!”

Hearing Emery's words, many Paris players felt cruel.

In fact, a few minutes ago, they did lose their fighting spirit. And the so-called calm analysis of the game is nothing but Neymar's personal behavior...

Emery looked at the players and went on: "I wrote this note before the game was over and I didn't expect Neymar to go with me. Manchester United are strong and we have to admit they are the best in the world. The top team is here, we must face it with all our strength. But although they are strong, they are not invulnerable. As Neymar said just now, they did not invest too much force in the side defense of this game!"

"Although Kante often moves in a large area, he is just one person. When we move the ball in a large area, our wide offensive players often encounter one-on-one situations with Alonso and Kimmich. , Neymar and Di Maria met many times in the first half."

"So in the second half, I was going to let Rabiot and Djokovic form a false attacking midfielder position, which can also be called a false winger! We use more troops to attack Manchester United's two wings, making them difficult to choose!"
