Chapter Four Hundred and Eleventh, Summer Training

"Recently, the Manchester United club held a press conference. At the press conference, Manchester United coach Kintiger said that the team's signings for this season have all ended. This season, Manchester United has a total of seven new players joining, namely: Bayern transfer Kroos who will come, Lampard and Lewandowski who will transfer, Everton's young player Stones, Serie B champion Palermo's young striker Dybala, Senegalese Coulibaly, and quite a few. French starlet Griezmann is popular in the transfer market."

"Kintiger also said that Manchester United's existing players are all players he values ​​very much, so he rejects transfer applications from other teams. Manchester United closed the team's internal transfer window one month in advance this season. A series of warm-up exercises."

Going to the United States for training is one of the club's business activities. In fact, according to Kintag's idea, he prefers the team to choose the target of the warm-up match in Europe, but Woodward told him that this is the decision of the club's top management and cannot be changed. In the head coach contract signed by Kintag, the club gave him great power in the transfer work, but at the commercial level, Kintag needs to fully cooperate with the club's actions.

Woodward also said that without these commercial activities, it would be impossible for Avram to give him a transfer fund of 100 million yuan at once. Therefore, in order to maintain the healthy operation of the club, Kintag not only needs to lead the team to play games To achieve good results, it is also necessary to cooperate with the club to participate in various commercial activities. In turn, the club can get more sponsorship and income, so that it can feed back the team and provide more financial assistance for youth training, management and transfer work.

And this summer is extremely special. This is the first year that the old Glazer passed away and Avram took charge of the team. Brothers can feel elated. In addition, Avram has also negotiated sponsorship contracts with several major American companies. Kintag and Manchester United players will participate in many business activities.

In any case, since it is obviously a warm-up before the season, Kintag must seize the time to let the players run in as quickly as possible, and strive to enter the official game state as soon as possible.

The opponents in this warm-up match are all major league teams. Their strength is limited, which is just suitable for Jin Taige to run the team. In this warm-up training, none of the players had any major problems. After a few days of rest, they quickly entered the game state.

The first warm-up match against the Los Angeles Galaxy. Before this game, star David Beckham, who has played for both teams, also came to the scene to cheer for the warm-up match between the two sides.

In this game, Kintag did not send this summer's new aid. He exhausted all the main players of last season. It is still the familiar 442 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is Smalling and Vidic partnered with central defenders, the left and right sides are Alonso and Rafael, the midfielder is Kante and Carrick, Mahrez The left and right forwards of S and De Bruyne are a combination of Icardi and Martial.

Compared with the starting lineup of last season, the starting lineup of this game has undergone a lot of changes. First of all, the midfield position. Kintiger let De Bruyne, who has been playing in the middle, go to the right, and play the right avant-garde position. Then the forward line disappeared. The combination of Rooney and Van Persie last season was replaced by Icardi and Ma. Shire.

Needless to say, the striker combination, Rooney left the team, Van Persie was seriously injured, Kintegger wanted to test the effect of the combination of Icardi and Martial, and it is not surprising that De Bruyne played the right midfielder. In normal training, De Bruyne Internally, this position also has a good performance, but because of the abundance of talents on the right side last season, he has no chance to appear on the right side.

Although De Bruyne's speed is not very fast, his ball control and propulsion ability are enough for him to gain a foothold in this new position.

This game was exactly as Kintag imagined, because these players played together for a season and were very familiar with each other, so they performed very well. They finally defeated each other with a big score of 4 to 1. Icardi and Marcia Carrick was in good shape after recovering from injury, and he also scored a long-range shot. Vidic, who is old and strong, broke through with a header from a corner kick.

But Manchester United's only conceded goal was a bit embarrassing, and it was Smalling's lax marking, which gave the opponent a chance to shoot in the penalty area and broke through the goal guarded by De Gea.

In any case, Manchester United still won the game very lightly.

easy. The players played very well in the first game, successfully defeated their opponents, and played very well.

In the second game, Manchester United played against Real Salt Lake City.

In this game, Kintag began to send several new aids from the summer, and the main lineup has undergone major changes. 442 formation: the goalkeeper is Alisson, the defense is the new central defender combination of Van Dijk and Coulibaly, the left and right sides are Evra and Stones, the midfielder is Nainggolan and Cross, Lampard and Baba Rencia's left and right forwards are a combination of Lewandowski and Griezmann.

Kintag watched the game very carefully, not letting go of any detail. He could see that on the scene, this game was far less smooth than the previous game, and the integration between the new players and the team still needs to be improved.

The person with the bigger problem is Stones. Although he is fast and has excellent 1-on-1 defense, he still seems a bit immature in terms of position selection and filling, and Cross and Lampard have nothing too much in this game. Excellent performance, they are the core midfielders who need a high degree of tacit understanding with their teammates, and the habits of their teammates must also be well understood, so that they can play their best.

In addition, what made Jin Taige very happy was the combination of the front and back pairs.

The central defender combination of Van Dijk and Coulibaly gave Kintag an illusion. Seeing the way the two played football, it seemed to see the former Ferdinand and Vidic. Ferdinand's central defender's style of attacking and Nemanja Vidic's position made them one of the best central defenders in the history of the Premier League. And today's two young central defenders, Coulibaly going up and Van Dijk blocking, this style of play is exactly the same as the two predecessors.

The two resolved another dangerous situation in front of the goal. Jin Taige was very satisfied with the failure on the sidelines. He looked back at Vidic who was sitting on the bench, and saw Vidic applauding frequently. Thumbs up for the defense.

But the best performance in this game was not the two central defenders, but the two new striker partners Lewand and Griezmann. 11
