Chapter 186: Both Offense and Defense

Martial scored a goal and Manchester United led 1-0.

Watching the Manchester United players embrace and celebrate, the lost Roberge got up from the ground with his head drooping.

All kinds of unfavorable factors before the game made Roberge very irritable. The moment he stepped on the field just now, he had already made up his mind that he must regain his face during the game and let everyone look at him with admiration!

But he didn't expect that Sunderland conceded the ball in less than a minute after the opening. Although there are many factors that caused this goal, such as the recklessness of the frontcourt players and the audacity of the midfielders, in general, Martial finally broke through him and got a single chance to score the goal. So he has a lot of responsibility for this conceded goal.

In fact, at the moment just now, Roberge had a chance to prevent Martial. If he used his body to forcibly slam into Martial, he would definitely be able to knock Martial flying at high speed and not give Martial a single blow. Opportunity. But if that is the case, Roberge will at least receive a yellow card, or even a red card, because he is the last defensive player.

But with the lessons learned from the previous game, Roberge was a little timid and didn't dare to step down easily.

If I hurt Martial again, after this game, I will be the target of all criticism again, and before the game, the head coach Poyet specifically asked to pay attention to defensive actions.

It was because of this hesitation that Roberge let Martial pass, causing the goal.

At this moment, Roberge was standing still, listless. Seeing his state, O'Shea hurried over to comfort him: "Roberge, this conceded goal is not your responsibility alone, it is our team's mistake, don't take it too seriously. Adjust your mood and play the next game well. "

Robert nodded, but did not speak.

At this time, several Manchester United players were hugging Kintag to celebrate, and Van Persie said happily: "Boss, this goal is not bad."

Jin Taige hugged several scoring heroes happily: "This goal is so beautiful! Who came up with this offensive routine?"

Carrick said with a smile: "Boss, after this period of training, I found that Radgar's ability to control the ball and attack is also very strong, so before the start of this game, I will communicate with everyone, can I take the risk that Radgar Protect the ball, then attract the attention of the opponent, let Robin and Martial go forward, and fight for the attack. Everyone thinks this idea is good, so we took the risk to implement it. I didn’t expect to hit it with one hit, which is really great!"

Kintag was delighted to see Nainggolan, who looked fierce but became more pleasing to the eye, Carrick, who had a marshal demeanor, and Van Persie, a stable striker, who were in front of him with joy.

Martial, the dribbling killer like the wind, was very satisfied: "I let you start the attack, I didn't expect you to play so surprisingly!"

"Boss, didn't you tell us to enjoy the joy of football, I feel very happy now, haha."

"That's right! Let's play like this! Guys, keep working hard, win this game, the final is just around the corner, come on!"

At this time, the referee urged the Manchester United players who were celebrating to return to the game quickly, and the Sunderland players could not wait in the middle circle.

The game continued.

Scholes off the court said a little conservatively: "This ball is really risky. Fortunately, this ball was scored. Otherwise, if Nainggolan's ball is broken in the first step, we are likely to lose the ball." Conceding goals at the start and being equalized."

Kintag looked at the players on the field, but his thoughts were different: "Paul, I think differently from you. In this game, Kanter takes turns, and Nainggolan is in the midfielder position. If compared to defensive ability, Nainggolan Ingolan is worse than Kanter, especially Kanter's defensive prediction and running position. He can definitely rank in the top five of the current Premier League midfielders. In time, he can even become the best midfielder in the world. one."

"But when it comes to offensive ability, Nainggolan is stronger. Nainggolan is a typical b2b midfielder. Not only is his defense fierce, but his offensive ability is also very good, especially in possession. Good game. Since he is on the court in this game, if he is only defensive and he does not make good use of his offensive ability, it is a waste of resources."

Kintag and Scholes chatted off the court, and the game on the court continued. Sunderland was caught off guard by Manchester United. The conceded goal in less than a minute made them lose their footing. Now they are 2-0 behind with a total score. Should the previous arrangement continue to defend, or press out and attack?

Not only the Sunderland players were confused, but even Poyet was a little flustered, and he couldn't make up his mind whether to attack or defend.

On the other hand, Manchester United's players on the field are getting better and better. The opening goal greatly boosted the morale of the Manchester United players. Now that they have a two-goal lead, they have more confidence in their hearts and are more relaxed in their technical actions. Between Sunderland's hesitation and hesitation, Manchester United also got more opportunities.

In the midfield position, unlike the previous one attack and one defense, today Carrick and Nainggolan changed positions consecutively, forming an offensive dual-core style of play. If you compare the ability to control the field and pass the threatening ball, Carrick does his part, but in terms of forward ability, Nainggolan must not be underestimated. In particular, his body is extremely strong, and he can stand out in the high-intensity physical confrontation of the Premier League. Therefore, Nainggolan's consecutive forward attacks, whether long-range or through, have caused great damage to Sunderland's penalty area. little stress. And after a few forward moves, the Sunderland players also paid more attention to Nainggolan. This fierce-looking guy is really amazing!

In a midfield pass, Carrick retreated to the position of the midfielder. He once again found Van Persie in front of the penalty area with a long pass. A little out of balance, in order not to lose the ball, he knocked the ball back to Nainggolan not far from the penalty area.

Because of Carrick's back defense, Nainggolan had more chances to go forward. At this time, he got the ball and went straight into the penalty area. Nainggolan, who is not tall but very strong, is like a small tank, rushing towards the penalty area like the wind.

Sunderland is in danger.

At this time, there were no other defensive players around Nainggolan, and only Roberge was left in front of him. At this time, Martial and several Manchester United offensive players were cruising on the wing, and Roberge had no task of man-to-man defense for the time being.

In this case, Roberge did not hesitate. He decisively attacked from the penalty area and rushed towards Nainggolan.
