Chapter 157, Confused

With Nainggolan in the midfield, the Manchester United players are very relieved. Facing Swansea, which is not strong in attack, they attack more boldly.

In the 38th minute of the first half, Icardi received a pass from Ashley Young from the left and scored with a header. Manchester United led 1-0!

At half-time, Manchester United returned to the dressing room with a goal advantage.

Before the opening, Nainggolan seldom talked to people. He sat next to De Bruyne and only occasionally chatted with his compatriot. Manchester United's players rarely take the initiative to approach Nainggolan, on the one hand because of his taciturn character, on the other hand they are a little embarrassed by his fierce appearance.

But after the first half of the game, Nainggolan not only won the hearts of the fans, but even his teammates admired Nainggolan extremely.

Alonso smiled and said to Nainggolan: "Radega, your performance in the first half was really good. With you as a midfielder, Swansea hardly played any decent offense." Now we are completely relieved, even if Kanter is injured in the future, we will not worry about the lack of defensive ability in the midfield."

Nainggolan looked at Alonso and said very seriously: "Although I really want to get more playing opportunities, I don't want to see my teammates get injured. If I have a choice, I would rather sit on the bench by myself." , I also want to see the team win."

Nainggolan's words moved his teammates very much.

In professional football, how many people are full of malice in their hearts, looking forward to the injuries of others?

Only when the opponent is injured can he win.

I hope that my competitors will be injured so that I can get a chance to play.

And when Nainggolan sincerely said "I don't want to see my teammates get hurt", the Manchester United players in the dressing room were very moved. Everyone looked at this iron-blooded man from Belgium again, full of respect and love for him in their hearts, and his fierce face did not look so scary anymore.

Even De Bruyne beside him said in admiration: "You performed really well in the first half."

Nainggolan only showed a smile at this time, and he was about to reply, you also performed very well. But just as he opened his mouth, he stopped suddenly.

Because De Bruyne didn't perform very well in the first half...

Nainggolan is a straightforward person, he is not a hypocrite, knowing De Bruyne's poor performance, but he has to praise him hypocritically, Nainggolan can't say such words. He thought for a long time, and then said to De Bruyne: "Come on in the second half, I will pass you more passes."

De Bruyne nodded and did not speak again.

De Bruyne's performance in the first half was indeed not good. His passing timing was always wrong, either early or late, and there were very few times when the pass was particularly accurate. Several frontcourt players were somewhat dissatisfied with him. Everyone wondered why Kintag chose such a midfielder who couldn't even pass the ball solidly, and he was planning to appoint him as the core of the attack?

Isn't this a joke!

Therefore, during the halftime break in the locker room, everyone seldom talked to Nainggolan because of Nainggolan's dull personality; and everyone didn't talk to De Bruyne very much, in fact, it was everyone's strength to De Bruyne. Some doubts, do not want to talk to him.

In fact, De Bruyne is also very depressed. When he went to the Bundesliga on loan last season, his passing was the most important weapon the team relied on. His precise long pass has brought assists and victories to the team several times. Is the all-powerful figure in the Bundesliga. But why is it so unbearable to pass the ball here?

Jin Taige didn't make too many tactical arrangements during the halftime break. He just asked his teammates to continue to play according to the pre-match arrangements. During the 15 minutes of the intermission, De Bruyne almost didn't hear a word from Kintag, and he was still in doubt about himself.

Soon, the break ended and the second half began.

With doubts, De Bruyne continued to look for answers on the court.

But in the second half, his condition was still poor. I don't know why,

His through balls are always unable to find his teammates, and offensive opportunities are wasted time and time again. Watching his teammates shake their heads helplessly and walk back, De Bruyne was completely confused.

He didn't know where he was wrong.

Scholes frowned off the field: "Captain, I remember you once said that Nainggolan is the future Roy Keane of Manchester United. I believe this; but you told me that De Bruyne It's a bit similar to me, but...is my pass also so inaccurate when I play?"

Kintag shook his head: "The real De Bruyne is not like this. He is a little out of shape today. It's time for him to come down and rest."

Phelan pondered: "Is it because I just joined the team and I still feel a little uncomfortable?"

"It's possible." Jin Taige nodded, "Anyway, this game is also training, just let him adapt to Manchester United's game."

In the 60th minute of the game, Jin Taige made three substitution adjustments in one breath.

He replaced De Bruyne with Asensio, Ashley Young and Nani with Sane and Alli.

Both Ashley Young and Nani performed well in this game, especially Ashley Young, who also had an assist, and Nani's wing breakthrough was also very sharp. When the two left the field, Kim Taeg praised their performance, and the two applauded their teammates in turn with satisfaction, and then sat down on their seats to rest.

The last one to come down was De Bruyne. He was a little confused, a little frustrated, and he was dejected when he left the field. When he came to the sidelines, after Asensio high-fived him, he couldn't wait to rush onto the court, ready to seize his precious 30 minutes.

Kintag was waiting for De Bruyne on the sidelines. Seeing De Bruyne like this, he greeted him: "Kevin, why are you so listless?"

"Boss, I didn't behave well today..."

"You have just joined the team and you need to adapt," Kintag comforted De Bruyne, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, take a good rest, you performed very...work hard today, keep working hard."

Jin Taige replaced the "good" in his mouth with "hard work".

De Bruyne sat in his seat a little frustrated, and he even forgot to high-five his teammates. At this time, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Is it true that I am not used to the Premier League, and my skills are not suitable for England?

Although Jin Taige comforted him just now, saying that he has just joined the team and needs to adapt. But what about Nainggolan who is still on the court? Why doesn't he need to adapt and win everyone's hearts in less than a game? Could it be that I really can't play the Premier League?

De Bruyne fell into confusion, and he even had doubts about his future...
