Chapter 743, Evolution
After Manchester United arrived in Shanghai, they immediately went into training after a day of rest.
On the training ground, Jin Taige said to the players seriously: "You must remember that the purpose of our coming to Huaguo is to train, and all other business activities are secondary things! So in the next period of time , You all need to be tense, except for the commercial activities and outings arranged by the club, I hope you will put your body into a tense state in advance to prepare for the upcoming league.”
"Don't forget, before this year's league, we still have a European Super Cup to play, so the time is much tighter than ever. Therefore, in the next training and competition, I hope you can show your best form .Your results last season have been cleared in my heart, and everything starts from the beginning. Whether you were the team's main first team last season or newly returned loan players, I treat them equally in my heart!"
"So I hope that each of you will show your best and strive for your position in the new season!"
The players have indeed been a little slack these days. In their feeling, this trip to Huaguo is a bit like a vacation. However, after hearing what Jin Taige said, the players became more serious. They became more serious on the training ground, and their performance in the team's match was getting better and better.
During these days of training, the Manchester United players were surprised to find that Kintag had made a huge change to the team!
From the formation level, Jin Taige has decisively changed the formation into 4-3-3 now!
Kintag told the players that in the next season, the team will focus on a 4-3-3 formation. In this way, Manchester United's 4-4-2 tradition is completely over.
This change can be said to be a big change for Manchester United. In the previous Ferguson era, the team's style of play focused on the balance of offense and defense, and the offense was mainly launched from the wing, so Manchester United's two wings flying together are top-level strengths in the entire international football world.
After Kintegger adjusted his team tactics, his style of play is more aggressive. The 4-3-3 style of play focuses on the impact of the winger and the propulsion of the midfielder. Players are very rich, not only strong, but also many different types of players, definitely able to cope with this style of play.
Furthermore, the 4-3-3 formation puts a lot of pressure on the backcourt defense, and it is a huge test for the midfielder and the two full backs. After the frontcourt offensive players press up, there is only one midfielder left in front of the defense. As long as they break through him, the opponent will directly face Manchester United's defense, which is dangerous.
For the two full-backs, their responsibility is even greater. Not only are they required to be able to defend firmly, but they are also required to provide support in the offense. In this way, the physical fitness of the full-backs is also extremely demanding.
In the next two days of training, Manchester United did not show any discomfort after the change. They seemed to be seamlessly connected immediately, which made Kintag very happy.
On the one hand, it was Jin Taige who did the work ahead of time. In the first two seasons, Kintag often asked players to connect with the 4-3-3 formation in training, and in many important games last season, Kintag even directly used the 4-3-3 formation to face the enemy, and Got great results.
On the other hand, it is also related to Manchester United's player ability. Now there are many young players in the Manchester United team. They don’t have much inherent concept of Manchester United’s traditional 4-4-2 formation, so the transformation is very fast. Among those loan players, many of them played 4- during their loan period. 3-3 formation, so there is no sense of unfamiliarity.
After Kintegger has made huge changes to the team, Manchester United is about to usher in their first warm-up match in China. The opponent in this warm-up match is the AFC Champions Permanent Team. This team can be said to be the top team in Asia. There are even several European and South American players worth more than 50 million euros in the team. Therefore, Manchester United will not be able to easily defeat their opponents in this game. If you are not careful, There is even the possibility of failure.
In this game, Manchester United formed a 4-3-3 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea; the defense is a combination of Van Dijk and Coulibaly partnering central defenders,
On the left and right are Alonso and Valencia; the midfielders are Kanter, Kroos and De Bruyne; the two wingers Mahrez and Griezmann are on the left and the right; the center position is Lewandowski. Eleven players were brought in by the substitutes, and Kintag was going to replace most of the entire team in the second half, so that the young people could play more games and check their game status.
In the opening stage of this game, the permanent team played very actively. When they faced the five-time champion Manchester United, they showed extraordinary strength without the slightest stage fright.
Jin Taige is not in a hurry, he knows that the players will definitely have many problems in this game. On the one hand, it is because of walking, on the other hand, it is because of the acclimatization, away games, and this is the first friendly match after the players return to the team from summer vacation. So Manchester United players are a bit slow to enter the state.
However, in this game, Manchester United players are quite adaptable to the 4-3-3 formation, especially the midfielders, who performed extremely well. Kanter, Kroos and De Bruyne are three people, Kanter is in charge of defense, Kroos is in charge of passing, De Bruyne is in charge of advancing, and Kroos and De Bruyne often change positions, both of them can pass Players with comprehensive control skills, the two performed very well in this game.
At the end of the first half, Manchester United led 2-1. Both goals were passed by Kroos, and Lewandowski and Griezmann scored a goal respectively.
But Manchester United also made a mistake and conceded a goal. This conceded goal is the responsibility of Coulibaly. It seems that after his injury last season, although he has recovered from his injury, his state is still not at his best and needs to be adjusted.
In the second half of the game, Kintag made some rotations. He replaced Lewandowski, pushed Griezmann up front, and then replaced Salah. In addition, Jin Taige replaced several young people such as Dembele.
After the start of the second half, although Manchester United replaced most of the main players, the team's offensive power became stronger instead. Especially on the front line, under the cover of Griezmann in the middle, Salah and Dembele on the left and right were completely mad. They completely blew up the opponent's two wings, and the opponent had no power to fight back. The two scored a goal each, and to the admiration of many people, these two goals reflected the extreme speed and dribbling of the two. After Griezmann's transition, the two scored Forbidden area, volley into the net!
In the end, the game ended with a score of 4-1.
In the first game of Manchester United's summer training match, Kintag's team won a big victory!
