Chapter 82, Paul Suddenly Realizes

"This double-red meeting was so intense at the beginning! The players of the two teams fought with all their strength to fight with their opponents!"

"If you've just turned on the TV, you probably thought it was a Premier League game, or a Champions League knockout game. But it's just a third-round match in the League Cup, with Manchester United at home against their team. Rival Liverpool!"

"It's only been 5 minutes since the game, and the two teams are already red-eyed!"

"Mahrez singled out Yaya Toure! Okay, it's over! He handed the ball to Shinji Kagawa in front of the penalty area."

"Kagawa Shinji has a chance to shoot from a long distance! He is not greedy for merit, and he passed the ball lightly to Icardi in the penalty area!"

"Icardi turns around! A deft poke shot!"

"Goal scored!!!"

"Young Icardi has done a great job! He scored the first goal of the game for the team, Manchester United lead 1-0!"

Icardi's goal lit up the entire Old Trafford stadium, and all the fans cheered, applauded loudly, and sent their warmest congratulations to the teams they support!

Phelan in the stands blew the whistle in his mouth and shouted loudly in the stands: "Long live Manchester United! Long live Kim Tiger! Icardi is so handsome! F**K Liverpool!"

The fat man Rodney next to him glanced at him: "When you were commanding on the sidelines, it was different from now."

"Of course, there are FA officials on the sidelines, I can't shout 'F**K Liverpool' so loud! It's so cool!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The entire North Stand became a sea of ​​joy.

Kim Tiger and Scholes also rushed from the dugout to the sidelines, hugging their players tightly, cheering loudly and celebrating the team's goal.

Jin Taige hugged Icardi, who scored the goal, on the sidelines, patted Shinji Kagawa who assisted, and then shouted to the players: "Just play like this, according to our pre-match deployment, just play like this!"

Before the game, Jin Tiger made tactical arrangements for the team: "In the last game at Anfield, Liverpool attacked with all their strength, we counterattacked and finally won the game 3-0; Different, I decided to play against Liverpool! And in the most critical opening stage, you try your best to attack successfully. After we have the advantage of one ball, Liverpool should be anxious. The more they press out, the more space we can attack. The bigger it is. Icardi's dexterous movement and shooting accuracy are his characteristics, you give him more through balls and let him solve the battle! Of course, if you have the opportunity, you can also use long-range shots."

Although Jin Taige arranged tactics, he did not expect the goal to come so quickly, and happiness came too suddenly.

The opening 5 minutes, Manchester United 1-0 lead.

Jin Tiger felt a little more at ease now. He returned to the coaching bench and Scholes asked: "Captain, why did you choose to play against Liverpool in this game? It's still the same as the last game, isn't the defensive counterattack bad? ?"

Jin Taige sighed: "Paul, in fact, against this Liverpool team, playing a defensive counterattack is the safest way. They are eager to score goals, and we still have speed in the frontcourt. If we play a defensive counterattack, this game has a better chance of winning. But……"

Having said that, Jin Taige looked to the side, he avoided the bench next to him, and whispered to Scholes: "But look at our lineup today, including the bench, there is no reliable one at all. Defensive midfielders of 2019, Anderson, Ashley Young, Valencia, Ryan Giggs, they all have good attacking ability, but they are not the best candidates for the midfield barrier. Why should I send Fletcher, not because Is Fletcher better defensively in comparison?"

"Let's talk about the backline, the two central defenders we can play today have all gone up, if there is any special situation between them,

Then I can only make attacking players cameo central defender. "

"Paul, think about it, with our team's defensive lineup today, can we withstand Liverpool's onslaught?"

Speaking of this, Jin Taige waved his fist: "Instead of defending without hope, I might as well go out and have a goal battle with Liverpool!"

Scholston understood: "Captain, it really belongs to you, your tactics are really wise."

Jin Taige smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm tactically wise, but I really have no way. Let alone Kante, even if Jones is still on the court, I will defend first and then attack."

Having said this, Scholes thought of one more thing: "Jones received a red card in the last game. According to the rules of the FA, we can appeal the red card. In this case, no matter whether the appeal is successful or not, we can Jones' suspension is delayed, at least he can play this game. But why did you give up your appeal, captain, and accept Jones's one-game suspension?"

Jintaig explained: "Jones is already very upset about the red card, all I can do now is to let it end quickly, a one-match ban is no big deal. But if I appeal, the FA sends an investigator. , and then talk to Jones and ask, but it will have a greater psychological impact on Jones. That's why I quickly turn the big things into small ones, and let the impact of this red card end as soon as possible. "

"Oh, so that's what happened," Scholes nodded, "I didn't expect the captain to think more carefully."

"Yeah, for the growth of young players, although every setback is very important, but you can't let setbacks stay in the minds of young players for too long, otherwise, it will blow their confidence, for example," Jin Tai Grid thought for a while, "Just like the talented Arsenal player Senderos a few years ago, he was only crushed twice by the monster Drogba, because he didn't get good psychological counseling, so he lost all of a sudden. Confidence, from Campbell's successor, has suddenly been reduced to the bench of the middle and lower Premier League teams that no one cares about, which is really regrettable."

Scholes went on to ask: "Captain, I have another question. Why are you taking the initiative to provoke Rogers these two days?"

Jin Taige smiled: "Paul, you have so many questions. A few days ago, many of our players were silent in the shadow of the last defeat. They needed a spark to fully activate their fighting spirit. Today's opponents Liverpool, that bundle of firewood that let them vent their repressed fire."

Scholes suddenly realized: "I said why in the team training this morning, the state of the players has greatly improved, and today's game, their mental outlook has also changed greatly, so that's what happened! "
