Chapter 31, He Laughed

United's second game was tied, and the players thought Kim Tiger would be furious. But unexpectedly, after returning to the locker room at the end of the game, Jin Taige said to everyone very calmly: "It's not Manchester United's style to be pulled twice by the opponent in a leading state."

Everyone was immediately ashamed.

Jin Taige was still in a hurry, with a smile on his face: "Don't be stunned, go take a shower, don't catch a cold."

This time the players were all stunned by Jin Taige, but the coach didn't get angry, which is always a good thing.

On the bus back to the hotel, Scholes was very puzzled: "Captain, today's game fell short of the good situation in the lead, why are you not angry?"

"Because I found the reason for the loss, and I have the confidence to win a big victory in the next game." Jin Taige was full of confidence.

In the next training, the players still did not dare to relax, and gradually played their due organizational cooperation. Jin Taige was very happy to see the changes in everyone. At the same time, he admires Scholes very much, and it is with his guidance and guidance that the tandem ability of several midfielders has been strengthened.

Jin Taige sighed in his heart: If I can keep Paul by my side, I really found a treasure.

In the third friendly match three days later, Manchester United played against Hong Kong Zhijie. Everyone found that Jin Taige changed the lineup again. The biggest change this time is to put all the seven players bought in the summer transfer into the starting list.

In the goalkeeper position, Jin Tiger let De Gea rest and sent Alisson, a young goalkeeper from Brazil; on the back line, Jin Tiger actually sent a combination of Ferdinand and Van Dijk, Van Dijk is even taller than Ferdinand Stronger, the combination of these two makes the striker look worried. Alonso is deployed at the left back. What is unexpected is that the right back actually makes the right winger Valencia a cameo. This formation can be described as strange; On the midfield line, Kante, the most valued signing by Jin Taige, finally appeared. He was partnered with veteran Ryan Giggs. Kante was responsible for defensive interception and Giggs was responsible for organizing the attack; on the left and right sides, the new aid Mahre Sterling replaced Giggs' previous position and appeared on the left, while the right still used Nani, who did not perform well in the first game; the forward line was replaced by two young summer new aids, Icardi and Marcia. Er, Icardi stepped forward, and Martial stepped back slightly.

This lineup is a brand new lineup. The players have a short running-in period, and several players are not playing in positions that they are familiar with, so I don’t know what kind of effect they will play.

The game had just been played for 5 minutes, and Scholes, who was sitting on the coach's bench, lit up: "Captain, the team's situation today is simply a new look."

I saw Jin Taige changed his habit of standing on the sidelines and commanding a few days ago. He sat quietly on the coach's bench today, watching the situation on the field leisurely: "Paul, you know that we conceded the last two goals in the game yesterday. What's the reason?"

Scholes replied firmly: "The hardness of the midfield is not enough."

"Paul, what do you want me to say," Jintaig looked at Scholes with a smile, "with you by my side as my assistant, I can do more with less. You're right, in the first friendly match, The opponent was just hunkering down and defending without any decent attack, so our problem was not obvious, but the second game was different. We couldn't find a qualified defender on the entire midfield line who could intercept and block in the midfield. If it wasn't for the opponent's poor shooting accuracy, we would have lost the second game. That's why I only played the third game. Tactical adjustment, look at the current field, how can any opponent break through Kante?"

Scholes observed the situation on the court while listening to Kintag's thoughts.

As soon as Kante came on the pitch, the entire Manchester United mentality suddenly took on a new look. On the midfield line, Ryan Giggs was getting older,

The speed of returning to defense is slow, and it can hardly make much contribution to the team's midfield defense, and the two full-backs are extremely fond of assisting, so the back line is often very empty. In the first few games, these troubles are all over. It was left to the two centre-backs, but things were different today.

Kante covered almost the entire midfield line on the field, solved most of the offense for the back line, and became the defensive core of Manchester United for a while; while Van Dijk and Ferdinand on the back line were partners for the first time, It's not very tacit understanding, but both of them are very capable of individual defense. Ferdinand's experience and Van Dijk's card position have formed an excellent barrier for Alisson behind him. So far, the opponent has not shot a single shot. Alisson has yet to make a save.

Looking at the frontcourt again, Ryan Giggs is getting older. Although he can't move on the wing, his organization in the middle is still world-class. Well, in this state, it’s okay to play for another year.”

"Paul, I think you'll be fine for another year."

"Don't make fun of Captain, haha."

The reason why Jintag and Scholes laughed so happily is because the score is now 1-0.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Mahrez on the left suddenly cut in after making consecutive passes on the left, stirring up the opponent's entire back line. He picked the ball to Martial on the other side of the goal, which almost became an unguarded area. After receiving the ball, Martial was not greedy. He took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball to the middle of the goal. At this time, Ikar Di outflanked and rushed to the goal with a strafing shot. Manchester United lead 1-0.

At this time, the Manchester United players on the field rushed to Icardi to congratulate him. Captain Ryan Giggs is no exception. When he returned to the middle circle, he deliberately came to Mahrez's side: "Young man, the ball is good, come on."

"Good captain." Mahrez was very happy.

The moment Giggs turned around, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, which he had never felt before. He turned to look at Mahrez again, thoughtful.

Jin Taige off the field can also see clearly that more than half of the credit for this ball is on Mahrez. If he hadn't made continuous breakthroughs to attract most of the opponent's back line, and then passed the ball skillfully without greed for merit, then There was no later Icardi goal at all.

Jin Taige said to Scholes contentedly: "I chose Ryan's heir well."

"Well, pretty good," Scholes added, staring intently at the court, "Roy Keane's heir is also quite perfect."

Hearing this sentence, Jin Taige smiled. He looked at Kante and Mahrez on the field and saw the hope of the Red Devils in the future.
