Chapter 229, Too Young
The firm self-confidence and decisiveness of a head coach are not only reflected in his bold pursuit of higher goals, but on the other hand, if he can resolutely give up something that does not belong to him, even if that thing is attractive enough, Still unshakable, this is also a good embodiment of courage and determination.
Take Jin Taige this season as an example. On the one hand, he firmly shouted the slogan of "Triple Crown"; on the other hand, he decisively gave up the FA Cup and put the very influential FA Cup , The stage for military training was opened on the spot.
This game is still like this.
In fact, before this game, the young people who had been looking forward to the FA Cup were all a little worried. Because in the previous FA Cup games, Manchester United's opponents were all Premier League underdogs or English Championship teams, but the opponent in this game is Everton, who is ranked fifth in the Premier League. Facing the opponents of strong teams, will the head coach send the main players on the stage and give up the training opportunities for them?
When they saw the entry list for this game, the young people were relieved.
Kintag’s starting lineup today is still the familiar 4-4-2 formation, the goalkeeper is Alisson; the defense is Jones and Bailey partnering central defenders, the left back is Ashley Young, and the right is Kimmich; The field position is a combination of Asensio and Fletcher. The two attack and defend, Nani and Salah are separated on the left and right; the center position is led by Icardi, and behind him is the French teenager Dembele of the youth team. The seven substitute players are: De Gea, Nainggolan, Ali, Alonso, Shinji Kagawa, Valencia and Sane.
As soon as the game started, Manchester United's young people bombarded Everton's penalty area. Especially the few young players in the frontcourt used their technical and speed advantages to catch their opponents by surprise and succeed in the attack.
Not long after the game started, Manchester United quickly entered the state.
The core of the midfielder in today's game is Asensio. He has outstanding skills and has a long-range shot from outside the penalty area. In the 2nd minute of the game, Asensio held the ball in the midfield, and through a pass with Fletcher, he came to a position about 35 meters in front of the Everton penalty area.
Asensio was eager to make a contribution. He didn't pay attention to Salah, who was in a better position on the right. Instead, he kicked a curved ball and went straight to Everton's dead corner of the goal.
Howard, the Everton goalkeeper, was in a good position. He threw the ball down very easily and pressed the ball tightly under his body.
Kintiger knows Everton goalkeeper Howard very well, he was once a member of Manchester United. Between 2003 and 2006, he played for Manchester United for three seasons. In the summer of 2006, he switched to Everton and became the main goalkeeper of the Toffees until now.
Although Howard is not a world-class goalkeeper, he has been in the Premier League for ten years, has rich experience, and his strength cannot be underestimated. Everton's ability to rank fifth this season has a lot to do with his stable performance.
And when he saved Asensio's shot just now, his physical condition is also very good today.
Asensio's shot was fruitless, and he walked back with great regret.
Off the field, Scholes frowned: "The ball should be passed out. It's too reluctant to shoot by myself. Even if I am in that position, I don't have much confidence."
Jin Taige looked at the players on the field and said slowly: "They are still too young and need to be honed, not only technically, but also psychologically."
The game continued.
Fletcher performed very well in this game. His several consecutive passes created good opportunities.
In the 7th minute of the game, Asensio was in possession of the ball in the frontcourt, and several Everton players surrounded him. He had no chance to advance and pass the ball forward, so he could only pass the ball back to Veron. Letcher, after Fletcher received the ball, he saw Dembele cruising to the left and was about to go forward. Fletcher did not hesitate, he passed the ball to Dembele in front of him with a big foot.
At this time, Dembele just stepped forward,
He and Fletcher's pass and run cooperated very well. Dembele got the ball in the penalty area and was about to shoot, but was knocked to the ground by Everton's left back Baines, who lost the ball. The opportunity to shoot, the ball bounced off the bottom line, and the referee awarded a goal kick.
After Dembele got up, he was very dissatisfied with the penalty. He wanted to ask the referee for a penalty kick, but the referee ignored him at all.
Jin Taige frowned off the court: "The opponent didn't foul the ball, it was just a reasonable collision between the two."
Phelan also agreed: "Besides, the game has just started, and the referee will not award a penalty so easily."
Scholes also said: "Being hypocritical with the referee because of such a trivial matter, it is easy to cause the referee to dislike him. Dembele is really too young."
In the first 20 minutes of the game, Manchester United's offense was very fierce, and the away fans who came with the team were very happy. They cheered loudly for their team at Everton's Goodison Park Stadium, waiting for the goal 's arrival
But Jin Taige off the court was very worried.
Don't look at Manchester United's aggressive attack during this period, but the offensive efficiency is very poor, there is a lot of thunder and little rain, and almost no balls that threaten the goal.
On the other hand, Everton, although they looked at a disadvantage on the scene, they maintained a very good formation of players, and they also did a very good job of encircling Manchester United players a few times, and there was a heavy weapon Lukaku in front of them. Come on, Manchester United will be very dangerous.
In this game, Everton came forward with Lukaku, behind him from left to right were Januzaj, Barkley and Deulofeu, and behind them were Cleverly and Barry.
Among these players, except for Barkley, who was produced by Everton's youth training, the other players were all on loan last summer-Cleverly and Yanuzai came from Manchester United, Deulo Fau is a Barcelona player, Barry is a Manchester City player, and Lukaku is a blue star.
Although these players played for different teams last season, they only played in Everton for half a season, and the cooperation has been very tacit. It has to be said that Moyes is still very good at training young players.
Kintag was worried about the team, and Everton's counterattack came.
In the 24th minute of the game, Nani on the left of Manchester United dribbled the ball forward, was surrounded by two Everton players and handed it directly to Deulofeu in front.
Deulofeu dribbles the ball forward and it passes United's halfway line. Fletcher, who was in the defensive midfielder position, hurriedly made up for the left side, trying to prevent his attack. But Deulofeu didn't hesitate. He looked up at his teammate's running position, and then directly passed the ball to the other side of Manchester United's penalty area.
At this time, Yanuzai had already started to speed up and "plug" in, he received the ball steadily, and now his eyes are empty!
