Two Hundred and Fifty Fourth Chapters, in Danger

On the afternoon of March 2nd, the 2013-2014 season League Cup final was about to start. At this time, the Etihad Stadium was full of people, and the fans were enthusiastic. They couldn't wait for the game to start. Manchester City fans wearing blue home jerseys turned the Etihad Stadium into a blue ocean. Their favorite team has performed extremely well this season, leading the Premier League and Champions League 16. Strong, the League Cup final, they feel that they are the happiest fans in England.

At this time, the players on both sides have finished warming up, and they are all making final preparations in the locker room.

In the locker room of the home team, Pellegrini had just given the players instructions on the situation of the game, and now he is hurrying up to explain to the players about Manchester United's starting situation. On the tactical board, Pellegrini wrote the names of Manchester United players according to the position of the game. He once again instructed his players based on the characteristics of Manchester United players.

After Pellegrini finished his explanation, he encouraged the players again. The Manchester City players left the dressing room with high spirits, entered the player tunnel, and prepared to enter the field.

Pellegrini sorted out the materials in the room, and was just about to go out when one of his assistants hurried in and handed Pellegrini a note, and Pellegrini opened it, Suddenly a little surprised: "Manchester United's starting list changed?"

The assistant nodded: "I heard that because of the player's injury, Kintag just submitted the change of the starting list to the FA."

"It seems that there may be some changes in the game." Pellegrini frowned. He looked up at the list of Manchester United's right-backs on the tactical board, thinking for a while.

At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Kintag announced the match list to the players. When he read the right back, he paused and said slowly: "The starting right back, Phil Jones!"

Jones is listening carefully to the head coach's tactical arrangements at this time, and he is full of expectations, because he can play multiple positions in the defense, and this game will definitely consume a lot of energy, so he has a great chance of coming off the bench. Therefore, Jones is full of hope for his prospects in this game.

I have been the team's substitute this season, and I have played many times in the Premier League and the FA Cup. Although there are not many starting opportunities, Jones has no psychological imbalance. The two veterans in the team, Ferdinand and Vidic, were once the best central defender partners in the Premier League. At least Jones thinks so. The position is still at the top level of the Premier League, and I am willing to play as a substitute for them. And this season Kintag attaches great importance to Smalling. Although he is sometimes frizzy, most of the time he can still successfully complete the defensive task.

Therefore, the young Jones still trains hard every day, waiting for the opportunity to play.

Jones's humble, low-key, hard-working character,

That's why Kim Tag likes him so much.

When Jones heard Kim Tag calling out his name, he froze for a moment, and the captain Vidic next to him patted him: "Phil, what's wrong with you, are you distracted?"

"No, no," Jones explained hastily, "I didn't expect that I would start this game."

Jin Taige glanced at Jones, and looked at him with trusting eyes: "Jones, come on."

Jones nodded: "Boss, please rest assured, I will definitely use my best form to deal with Manchester City!"

Jones clenched his fists, trembling all over. He knew the importance of this game, and he also knew that Jin Taige could send him on the stage because of his great trust in him. Jones now has only one thought in his mind: kill Manchester City and bring the championship home!

If you are in danger, you will be ordered to repay it with all your might!

After announcing the starting lineup, Kintag said to all the players: "I guess Pellegrini has two main offensive routines in this game. One is that the trident in the frontcourt advances quickly, cooperates continuously, and plays through short passes. Through our central defense, this requires the two of you Kanter and Nainggolan. You try your best to disrupt their offensive rhythm and prevent them from passing and receiving the ball smoothly; and they always like to use center tactics, but In their season this season, the two rotation centers, Negredo and Dzeko, did not score many goals. They function more as bridgeheads, creating shooting opportunities for Aguero, so Vidic and Smalling, you guys Don't put all your energy on Manchester City's center forward, but also defend Aguero's forward shots."

"If they can't open the situation in the middle, then they will go to the two sides. Both of their full-backs have a strong assist ability and often like to "plug". And our full-backs are the same, so Today, Manchester City is likely to take advantage of the home court advantage, start the attack and want to score. So my request to you is: Evra and Jones do not step forward to assist easily in the opening stage. Adjust the center of offense and defense as the situation changes; and once one of the two of you attacks, Kanter, you need to fill up quickly to prevent gaps."

"De Bruyne, Mahrez, Martial, your offensive tasks are very heavy in this game, because Evra and Jones mainly focus on defense, so they can't provide you with much help, so you The cooperation of three people is a very important part of this game. De Bruyne, you make adjustments according to the situation on the field, whether to divide the ball or dribble or "shoot", it is up to you to decide. This game The offensive efficiency depends on how many of you."

Kintag explained the plan of the game in detail on the tactical board, and the players memorized it by heart.

Finally, Kintag looked at the players, his eyes suddenly sparkled: "Alonso, Kante, Nainggolan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Martial, this is your team at Manchester United. In the first season, this is also the first time you compete for the championship at Manchester United. Like you, I am looking forward to the arrival of this championship. De Gea, Vidic, Smalling, Jones, Rooney, although you Sir Alex Ferguson has won many championships, but I believe that you will never be bored with the championship. Guys, this is our first chance to compete for the championship this season. I hope that after the 90 minutes of the game, we We can stand together on the podium and hold the championship trophy! Come on!"

"Don't worry boss, we will definitely be able to bring you back the championship trophy!"

Vidic stood up and shouted.

All Manchester United players were also in high spirits, loudly echoing the victory declarations of head coach Kintegger and captain Vidic!
