Chapter 744, Faster
After Manchester United won a 4-1 game, they won their first game.
This game broke the dreams of many Chinese fans. They thought that as the Asian champions, they would be able to compete with the opponent's strength no matter what, but they didn't expect that the final match would become a one-sided offensive routine exercise. Only then did they realize that the difference in strength between the champions of the AFC Champions League and the champions of the UEFA Champions League is really not even one star...
In fact, Manchester United did not give their best in this game. Under the request of Jin Taige, they mainly focused on training, and they had a certain degree of reservation in terms of fighting movements and physical consumption. If Manchester United really let go of the offense, then the score will not be limited to this at all.
After winning a game, Jin Taige continued to transform the team.
If "changing formation" is the first step of KINTEG's transformation, then the second step is "speeding up"!
In fact, Manchester United's offensive speed is already very fast, and their fast offense is one of the most commendable styles of play in European football. But Jin Taige felt that it was not enough, he still needed the team to be faster!
This is fast, not only fast offense, but also many other things.
For example, fast pressing and high pressing when the opponent is in possession of the ball.
Another example is that midfielders also need to play the ball quickly and make a sudden fatal blow in terms of rhythm changes.
During the training, Kintag specifically cited the examples of Harvey and Pirlo. They usually control the ball very steadily, but a sudden pass and rhythm change will make the opponent unexpected, and there will be loopholes in the defense. result in a loss of the ball.
And Kintag gave the example of the two of them, mainly for the team's mid-way point, which is the type of players like Kroos and De Bruyne. Their passing speed is also fast, so as to make the game run more quickly.
Not only the central players, but several wingers also need to improve their speed. Kintag is not worried about the offensive speed, because almost all the players in his team are players with extremely fast speed and good dribbling. Mahrez, Dembele, Salah, Sane... These players are all An excellent winger with one top one, very suitable for this 4-3-3 formation.
Kintag requires wide players not only to dribble and advance fast, but also to be flexible according to the situation on the field. If you are trapped in the opponent's double-team, you must quickly transition the ball out and hand it over to other players.
The same is true of Kintag's requirements for the two full-backs. Quickly assist, and then quickly return to defense, it can be said that one person is used as two people.
In this case, Kintag is facing a problem: physical problems.
Scholes and Phelan also raised this issue: "If you play like this, it will consume too much physical energy for the players, and they will not be able to resist a season of games."
Jin Taige explained: "I have considered this situation a long time ago, so I have arranged a lot of rotation and substitute players in the team. Last season, we had a total of 29 players in the first team, which is relatively large in the Premier League. .”
"Although many veterans left the team this summer, many young players returned on loan. The number of first-team players has increased compared with last season. There are a total of 30 players. How to make these players play their strengths is what we need to consider. "
"At the end of last season, there were player injuries and red card attrition, which had some impact on the league and cup competitions. But this season, the age structure of the players is younger and their physical fitness is better. And they need more games to practice. Then Coupled with the return of several loan players, the skill gap between the current starters and rotation players is getting smaller and smaller."
"For example, Asensio and Alli, who helped Leicester City win the Premier League runner-up last season, and Dembele, the best rookie in the Bundesliga, even if these people form a team alone to play in the Premier League, I think they can win. To the top six in the league. So I am very confident in the rotation and replacement players this season."
"I need the players to do their best in a game. If the next game is not enough, I can make a rotation. We have this condition now!"
Hearing what Kim Taeg said,
Phelan and Scholes also felt that he was very considerate.
"If this is the arrangement, how do you plan to adjust the starting lineup for next season? After all, many first-team veterans left last season, and this season's starting lineup needs to be greatly changed."
Looking at the players on the training ground, Jin Taige said slowly: "In my list, there is no absolute main player. Whoever is in good condition is the main player. Regardless of qualifications and age, everything depends on strength and status."
After the game in Shanghai, Manchester United and his party took a plane to Kyoto. Kyoto is the capital of China, very prosperous, and the football market is also very good. Last season, the Kyoto team won the domestic Super League championship from the permanent team at the last moment, which was not easy. There are also several very good foreign players in their team, and they are very strong. In addition, there are many international players in the main players, and the overall level is not inferior to the permanent team.
In this game against Kyoto, Jin Taige adjusted his starting lineup.
4-3-3 formation: Romero in goal; Maguire and Bailly partnering central defenders in defense, Mendy and Kimmich on the left and right; Nainggolan, Carrick and Arsenal in midfield Theo; two wingers Sane and Salah, one on the left and one on the right; Dembele in the center position.
In this game, the trident sent by Kintag is super fast. Salah, Dembele and Sane, the three of them are simply sprint enthusiasts and breakthrough madmen. After the opening, Manchester United's offense was so fierce that the Kyoto team couldn't hold their heads up.
Nevertheless, Manchester United encountered some troubles in this game. The opponent's offensive strength is not even as good as the permanent team, but the defense is very solid. After 30 minutes of the game, Manchester United still failed to break through the opponent's goal.
At this time, a player from the Manchester United team stepped forward and broke the deadlock.
Salah got the ball on the right side of the center circle. He broke through with the ball continuously, passed the defense of the five players of the Kyoto team in one breath, and scored a goal in the center of the penalty area!
1 to 0! Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!
After Salah scored this goal, the two hosts of Huaguo on the scene explained loudly excitedly.
Salah's ball is simply Maradona's possession! Messi is alive again! "
"Hey, hey, it's Messi possessed, not Messi's rebirth, the club king is still alive..."
"In this five-time Manchester United team, although Salah has just returned on loan, I am very sure that Salah will be able to have his own place in the new season. Although Griezmann is now Manchester United's biggest star , but in time, Salah will definitely become Manchester United's top card!"
"Hey, it's the trump card, the trump card..."
