Chapter 257: When You See a Move, You Will Dismantle It
More than 20 minutes into the first half, Manchester United performed poorly. If it weren't for the bad luck of the Manchester City players, they would have scored at least two goals. Among all Manchester United players, the worst performer is Jones. Because of his timidity, his right wing was repeatedly blown by Manchester City.
Kintag figured out the whole problem, and he came to the sidelines and yelled at Jones, cheering him on.
And when he heard Jin Taige's cry, Jones suddenly jolted, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
I was fine in the first few games, how did it become like this today? Just because I saw Nasri again, am I afraid of him? Did an unexpected red card make me afraid to defend?
At this time, Jones looked at the Manchester City players in front of him, especially Nasri, and he became even more angry.
I was bullied by you in the last game, and I must find my way back in this game!
Kintag finished talking with Vidic on the sidelines, then shouted a few words to Jones, and then returned to the coach's bench.
Scholes asked: "Captain, what did you say to Vidic?"
"I made some adjustments to the defense and asked him to take my words to the players." Kintag explained.
Phelan frowned: "Tiger, Jones played really badly in this game! If this happens again, we should consider replacing him."
Kintag shook his head: "Because Jones received a red card last time against Manchester City, so he was a little timid in this game, but I believe he will be able to adjust soon, a healthy and good Jones, It will definitely cause Manchester City a hard time."
The three of them were chatting, and Manchester City's offensive came up again.
Nasri is a little depressed today. When he faced Kanter, he didn't have any chance to break through, and Kanter defended him so hard that even the forward passing route was blocked by Kanter.
In the last Manchester derby, Kanter did not play due to injury. This is the first time a Manchester City player has played against him. Many Manchester City players disapproved of this black boy and didn't take him seriously, especially Nasri.
But he did not expect to play until now, Nasri can be regarded as knowing the power of Kanter, he thought: Kanter's defensive level can even catch up with Manchester City's Yaya Toure, given time, he can definitely become a world-class player lower back.
When Nasri faced Kanter, there was no good chance to move forward, so he set his sights on Jones again.
In the player tunnel before this game, Nasri saw that Jones also started. He was a little puzzled, isn't Manchester United's starting right back Rafael? Why was it replaced by Jones?
But Nasri was also very happy, it would definitely be his nightmare to meet this stupid boy. Think about the red card plus penalty package he created last time, it must be fresh in his memory.
During the opening period, Nasri gained a certain advantage when facing Jones several times. He was very proud. It seemed that Jones must have been scared by himself and dared not make any moves.
In view of this situation, Nasri got consecutive chances on the left, which posed a big threat to Manchester United's goal.
Seeing Kanter approaching him again this time, Nasri didn't confront him head-on, but dribbled the ball to the side, trying to break through at Jones' point.
But he had just come to the left side and led the ball forward, and suddenly felt as if he had hit an extremely hard stone pillar.
"Nasri dribbled the ball forward continuously. He bypassed Kanter's defense and came to the left! He wanted to get a chance to pass from the bottom!"
"It's Jones! He knocked Nasri out of the sideline with the ball! The skinny Nasri is as weak as a chicken in front of the strong Jones!"
"Nasri just got opportunities from Jones one after another. This time he didn't expect that Jones would suddenly show his power and block his attack!"
"Nasri got up from the ground. He argued with the referee, complaining that it was a foul just now. He even raised his hand to play a card.
Suggest to the referee to give Jones a warning card! "
"The referee was aware of it, indicating that it was not a foul, but a reasonable collision, and said that the ball was taken out of the touchline by Nasri, and awarded Manchester United a backcourt throw-in!"
At this time Vidic ran over, and he patted Jones on the shoulder: "Phil, good job, just do it!"
Jones grinned, and he returned to his usual look.
Seeing this successful defense, Kintag also laughed off the court, and he said to Scholes and Phelan: "Look, that tough Jones is back, Manchester City's next game will not be easy. "
This successful defense allowed Jones to regain his confidence and state. He fought more and more courageously on the right side, and Manchester United's right side, which was like a sieve just now, suddenly became an impregnable wall. Manchester City's consecutive attacks ended in failure.
Not only that, during this period of time, Manchester City's midfield offensive combination was also temporarily misfired.
Aguero, who was still pulling out space in the frontcourt just now, suddenly found that there was one more person beside him, Manchester United's central defender Smalling. I don't know when Smalling started from the penalty area. Smalling ran out in front of the penalty area and marked Aguero one-on-one. As soon as Aguero got the ball, Smalling used his body to continuously squeeze Aguero's forward space. Aguero suddenly fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation with Smalling.
This tactical adjustment was arranged by Kintag. He just told Vidic to let him keep an eye on Dzeko alone, then release Smalling and let Smalling go to mark Aguero. If Aguero retreats, leave him alone and hand it over to Kanter and Nathan. Ingolan; as long as Aguero moves around the penalty area, Smalling will follow.
Kintag's arrangement had an immediate effect. Among Manchester City's tridents, Aguero was restrained by Smalling; A stalemate was reached; Silva was alone in the middle, unable to pose a threat to Manchester United's goal at all.
About 30 minutes into the game, Manchester City's offensive gradually subsided.
At this time, Morris of Sky TV said with emotion: "The sophistication of Pellegrini's formation is very good. In the opening 20 minutes, Manchester City's offensive system suppressed Manchester United, but Kintag did not show any weakness. , he saw the tricks, activated Phil Jones, stabilized Manchester United's defense on the right, and then boldly let Smalling break out of the penalty area to mark Aguero and suppress his forward space. Manchester City's The offensive has gradually weakened. The two teams are competing fiercely, and the coaches of both sides are also fighting for brainpower. This Manchester derby is really getting more and more intense!" Read for free.
