When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, players from both sides walked back to their own rest areas.

The players of the new Manchester United are all gasping and panting, in this fast-paced scramble, the physical energy is consumed very quickly, but they have never been able to find too many ways, and can only continue to follow the rhythm of the opponent.

"Our team still lacks a core player who can hold the ball in midfield!" Xiao Yu muttered to himself.

Although Smith is good, but in fact his skills are not excellent, he used to play in the back and has a lot of physical strength, but if he wants to organize and direct the whole team's attack, he can't do it at all.

However, now he is the most qualified for this role in the whole team of the new Manchester United team, and if he is replaced by Maternson, I am afraid that even whether the ball can be passed in place will be a problem, but Maternson's defensive ability is very strong, after all, the body is strong.

Although in Xiao Yu's previous life, Manchester United's non-nuclear tactics reached its peak, and the whole team constantly tore apart the opponent's gaps through wonderful off-ball running, constantly creating opportunities, and then defeating the opponent, but that was created by Ferguson's continuous updating and improvement over the years.

On the other hand, the current new Manchester United, the players' personal ability is too weak, and the understanding and implementation of the tactics are not enough, once the game is smooth, the new Manchester United can also play some exquisite cooperation, but once you encounter an opponent like Glothorpe, it is easy to be dragged by the opponent.

If there was a player in midfield who could control the tempo, the game would have been completely different.

"Although I don't know much about the tactics of professional football, I can see that Glothorpe suppressed the new Manchester United throughout the first half, and if Steve can't think of a way to solve it, I'm afraid this game will not be good!" Derek was also worried.

Not much else, just look at the current players of the new Manchester United are obviously showing symptoms of physical exertion, especially Carl Maternson and Darren Lyons, the former is running all over the field and exerting too much physical strength, and the latter is older, both 32 years old, plus the new Manchester United has not scientifically guaranteed his training intensity, so that his state and physical fitness cannot be guaranteed.

This is another big shortcoming of the small team!

Even Derek could see the problem, and it was naturally impossible for Bruce, who was standing on the sidelines, not to see it.

But as Xiao Yu said, in this situation, the best way is to last a player who can control the rhythm, stabilize his own rhythm, and slowly use the overall advantage to crush the opponent, but where does the new Manchester United come from?

As the break ticked by, Bruce was standing outside the rest area, and the players were sitting inside, quietly waiting for the manager to come over and explain the tactics for the second half.

"Richie!" Bruce suddenly shouted at the substitutes who were warming up on the field.

Rich Willens was a little surprised, but quickly ran over, a little excited, "Sir! ”

Evra, who was in the lounge area, had a pale-faced face.

Since the Arsenal game was a big one, he has been getting consecutive starts, and he has been doing very well, but lately he has been asking Lyons for advice, and then after each training session, he has added some training tasks to himself, although I dare not say that he has improved a lot, but at least it is still satisfying.

However, in the first half, his performance was really not very good, and he did not play to his advantages at all.

Is the manager going to replace himself?

In the distance, Roy Williams was excited, because as is customary, once Rich Willens is on the pitch, the defenders on that side will definitely choose him to be more defensive.

"You watched the whole first half, I won't say much, you go up in the second half, play left wing-back, remember, you don't have to care about anything, use your speed, hit the opponent's defence, the whole front field on the left and in the middle, I give you absolute freedom!"

Ricky Willens' words shocked Richie Willens, but he was putting the stakes on him to turn the tide on his own.

The other players had already received Bruce's gesture and had gathered over one after another.

"Patrice!" Bruce shouted.

Patrice Evra slid his way through Lyons and Marginson, both of whom patted the hapless guy on the shoulder and head in a reassuring gesture that everyone had assumed that Patrice was going to be substituted in the second half.

"Are you okay?" Bruce asked surprisingly.

Evra's dead heart rekindled the flame of hope, "Sir, I'...... I can! ”

"Can you run the entire second half in a row?" Bruce asked again.

Evra nodded without thinking about it, and said very resolutely: "Yes!" ”

Bruce grabbed him to his side at once, and because he was a head taller than Evra, he was a little shorter, "Okay, Patrice, you continue to be your left wing-back in the second half, you should know where we are now, I don't have many options, so I can only put the responsibility on you!" ”

Evra's body trembled a little all of a sudden, "I...... What should I do? ”

"Richie will attack the opponent's defence, you run with him, remember how coach Kassel taught you to run in training?"

"Yes, remember!" Patrice Evra was clearly impressed with that kind of training.

"Well, Patrice, you just run!" With that, Bruce also punched Evra in the chest with encouragement.

"Alright, guys!" Bruce clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to pay attention, "We were suppressed by the opponent in the first half, and the opponent deliberately increased the tempo, then we will follow their wishes, and in the second half, we will focus on the left side, once you get the ball, don't think too much, just pass to the left side, to Richie." ”

After saying that, Bruce pointed to Ricky Willens, "Richie, you are the core of our offense, you have a lot of energy now, you have to run more, play to your speed advantage, run as much as you can, run wherever you see a gap, open up space for your teammates behind you, create opportunities, you know?" ”

Rich Willens nodded heavily.

"Darren, I'm sorry, you're going to rest in the second half, I can see that your physical strength is almost exhausted, we have to fight with the opponent in the second half, I can only say sorry to you!" Bruce walked up to Lyons and shook his hand.

The veteran has been in excellent form this season, and it can even be said that he has the best season of his career, and although it is only in the Northwest Division B, it can be seen that he still has some quality.

"Stephen, you stay a little bit on the right and work with Frank on the right side, Karl, you're going to take care of the left, and once Richie and Patrice are up, you're going to close the back door for me, you know?"

Several people who were assigned to the task immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright, guys, there's 45 minutes left, let's go on the pitch and knock them out, and then we're the champions!" Bruce cheered the players on and sent them onto the football pitch.

…………

…………

Glothorpe was clearly surprised by the substitution of Richie for Lyons, given that in the very little information they have gathered about the new United, Rich and Patrice Evra have never played together, and now they are playing together?

But soon, at the beginning of the second half, Rich used his speed to pull out a cross that was open, and Jonathan's header grazed the crossbar out of bounds, shocking the Glothorpe players into a cold sweat and telling them that he was on the pitch to level the opponent!

Unlike the first half, which was generally entangled in the area around the centre circle, the second half was played by both teams from the start of the second half with their efforts on the left side of the new Manchester United, and it was clear that Ricci and Patrice Evra were both offensive and defensive players.

However, because Carl Maternson was heavily arranged by Bruce, always filling in for the two after they stepped forward, Glotsop was never able to tear open the gap from the left, and even if he occasionally broke through once or twice, he was intercepted by Gary Turner in time and removed the threat.

Just as Glossop can't break through the defense of the new Manchester United, the new Manchester United can't get rid of Glossop's defense, and the two teams seem to be facing each other on the tip of a needle.

Rich Verence is very fast, but his technique is the same as that of most English amateur players, very rough, once he receives the ball, it is difficult to control, and then form a threat, so it is easy to be destroyed or cut off by the opponent.

Patrice Evra ran back and forth again and again, but it was difficult for the ball to get to his position from the hands of Rich or Smith and others, and even if he was sometimes aware of his movement, the ball that came out basically did not reach Evra's feet.

Without Lyons, Evra's forward power is much lost.

But it may be precisely because of this that Glothorpe tried a few times at Patrice Evra, and after the new United wasted almost twenty minutes, they began to be a little negligent in defending Evra.

Smith's diagonal pass was again late, intercepted by the opposing full-back, and cleared with a long pass with a big foot.

Despite running for nearly 30 meters, Evra still gave his teammates a thumbs up, gasping for air.

In Manchester's humid climate, even breathing is more laborious than usual, let alone constantly running.

"Damn, it's not the way to go on like this!" I thought to myself as I slowly ran towards the backfield.

That's when Marginson shoveled the opponent's pass out of bounds to form a throw-in.

"Richie!" Evra shouted when he saw Richie coming towards him, with no one around.

"What's wrong? Patrice, run out of energy? Richie asked with a wry smile.

"It's not a way to go on like this, and the iron man can't hold it."

"So what do you say?" Richie leaned closer.

Evra leaned in, and the two of them chewed on the root of their ears for a while.

"Is that okay?"

"Please, man, Coach Kassel said that when necessary, the movement and tactics can be adapted, we don't have to stick to the same system as we did in training, do we?"

Richie hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Patrice Evra immediately raised his right hand high at Jonathan in the distance, who responded with a raised hand and then clenched his fist in a gesture that said, if you can get it, I can smash it into the net.

In fact, Patrice Evra has certainly given Jonathan a lot of good shots in recent games.

Glothorp's throw-in was headed out of the box by Danny Collins and into the feet of Marginson, who immediately passed to Smith.

Smith looked up to see Ritchie, Jonathan and David Bell all running forward, with Patrice Evra on the left following suit.

This is a chance! Smith thought in his head

ps: It's terrible, I was lazy when I got up at 6 o'clock, and I slept lazily, and it turned out that I'm late!
