The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

Ever since Manchester United's roster was announced, the topic of Zhou Tiancheng has been aroused.

Even verbal criticism is useless, at least for now, it is Van Gaal who can make decisions about Manchester United's formation.

Facing reporters, he is still the same old way. Now you have to be tough to the end.

"Even if it's not a week, it doesn't matter at all. If we can't rely on team strength to win, this is not the Manchester United I want."

The following Red Devils loyal reporter almost wanted to answer him: The Manchester United you want is the Manchester United where Mr. Yiou sits on the bench and executes your X**T tactics on the field?

But although Van Gaal was stubborn, he was not stupid. Dare to stand on the cusp of the storm or not bring Zhou Tiancheng, the biggest reason is the midfielder's injury, the Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini can return from injury this time, the Belgian monster midfielder played in the just-concluded World Cup He performed well in the field, and the youthful storm created by Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne and a group of little monsters made people see the vitality of the "No. 1 Monster Star Team in Europe".

A B2B midfielder like Zhou Tiancheng is of course inferior in overall strength, and the attacking power around the penalty area is not at the same level, but Van Gaal believes that Fellaini's toughness on the defensive end is enough to support the team in the midfield.

Van Gaal has always believed in his own tactics. In this game, he intends to let the reporters see that without the biggest star, Manchester United can still play the biggest and most pleasing football!

Van Gaal used Fellaini to remove Carrick, who had a mediocre performance in the previous game, in the starting lineup, and re-let Van Persie and Rooney start with a double striker on the front line.

Of course, Falcao is definitely out of play. In fact, he is destined to become the biggest victim after Van Gaal's arrival. Zhou Tiancheng's fame is there, and there is something wrong with him that he can't hide from the media and fans, but under such circumstances, who pays attention to Falcao?

The most tragic thing is him. It is estimated that he will inevitably sit on the bench for a season. It is really hard to say whether returning to Monaco can stimulate his state.

...

Van Gaal has changed his lineup again, sticking to his three-central defender system, the lineup has become 3-4-1-2, and the veteran Fletcher is partnering with Fellaini in the midfield. To the midfielder position that is more suitable for him to display his talents.

Van Gaal refused to admit that Zhou Tiancheng's absence from the game would have an impact on the team. In fact, it's no wonder that he didn't, otherwise he wouldn't need to change his lineup.

In fact, Van Gaal still underestimated Burnley and did not take away Evans in the starting lineup, while Rojo, who was very popular among Manchester United fans, missed three consecutive games in the new season.

After all, Burnley is a newly promoted team this season. It was runner-up in the Championship last season, and its name is still very bright. But from the perspective of a coach like Van Gaal, the newly promoted team is either a big dark horse that needs to be vigilant, or it is a real player. of fish belly.

Burnley lost 1:3 to Chelsea in the first two rounds of the league, 0:1 to Swansea, and 0:1 to the English Championship team Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup. Naturally, Van Gaal will not be classified as a dark horse.

But in fact it is not that simple. Burnley left the foundation of last season to the maximum, and their head coach Sean Dyche, the skinhead coach of the Premier League, was a central defender in the player era. Extremely tough Millwall youth training. Like the famous "Hammer Gang" West Ham United in the Premier League, this team is most famous for nothing but their fan organization.

West Ham are notorious lairs of British football (hooligans), and in this regard, their biggest opponent is Millwall. There are deep historical reasons.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was born and bred in such a team, and it is conceivable what style he will bring this newly promoted Premier League team into.

In their home locker room before the game, he used rich body language to cheer the players: "This game is our chance, guys,

The opportunities they offer us! Maybe Zhou Tiancheng is here, I can only let you shrink back and do your best to defend. But now we have the chance, the chance Manchester United gave us. Southampton can draw them, why can't we? And I want you guys to be more aggressive, press them all out for me, in midfield, stick to their bodies, try to limit their passes as much as possible. Opportunities are precious to us, and we need you to grab them. From the first minute, today we want to end this damn loss! "

Manchester United took the initiative on the scene from the beginning, but Van Gaal gradually frowned as soon as the game started.

The ball can only be divided to the two sides, which can be unimpeded, but Mata, who is the core of the offensive organization, cannot get the ball.

Fighting back and forth many times became the main scene, and Fellaini, who was entrusted with important tasks after returning from injury in the first game, became the biggest highlight in the opening stage.

But that's not what Van Gaal wanted.

Di Maria, Ashley Young, Valencia, and Luke Shaw, these extremely capable attackers on the wing can only create opportunities for each other, or try to tear apart the opponent's defense by relying on their individual abilities .

Without the containment of the midfield and more penetrating firepower delivery, this is the only way to force it.

But obviously underestimated the determination of Burnley's defense. The hottest scene in the opening scene was the Burnley defender, whether it was Matthew Lorton or Northern Ireland central defender Duff, who brutally attacked Manchester United's fast wingers time and time again. With a shovel, the fastest Di Maria was even shoveled to fly.

In the opening game, Manchester United has been getting set-kick opportunities from the wing, but it is almost impossible to pose a threat when it is passed to the goal. The opposing goalkeeper was very active, stretching out his arms several times and hitting the ball with both fists over Van Persie's head.

Burnley's opening posture was completely beyond Van Gaal's expectations. The fight almost reached the front of Fellaini, who was a deep midfielder. If he hesitated to take the ball, he would be surrounded by two players. Not sloppy after stealing the ball, midfielder Jack Cork, who came from Chelsea's youth training, gave a penetrating pass directly behind the Manchester United defense.

This game attitude is not like what a newly promoted horse should have.

Bob Clem watched the game and pointedly pointed out: "Manchester United has the advantage of possession rate, but 20 minutes have passed, have you seen Burnley goalkeeper Heaton's brilliant performance? It seems No, this shows that Manchester United's offensive did not threaten Burnley's goal at all. On the contrary, Sean Dyche's tactics are impressive. Apart from ball possession, Burnley did not lose to Manchester United in terms of initiative to create opportunities. Jonathan Evans has been targeted again. As long as Van Gaal still plays him, his flexibility and defensive positioning ability will become the Achilles' heel of Manchester United's three-center back strategy. This point has gradually been exposed to all Premier League teams. Even a newly promoted like Burnley is desperately grasping this point, even they are all motivated, very energetic, hahaha!"

But the root of the problem is that Mata, as the core of the playmaker, has few chances to get the ball.

Why can't Mata get the ball?

The reason is not on him...
