117 Victory
The atmosphere at York Street Stadium, which is home to more than 2,000 fans, is as stressful as the battle for the top two teams in the national league is as tense as the battle for the top two teams in the national league.
The first 45 minutes were over, with only substitutes from both sides on the pitch warming up, and the cheers of the fans in the stands had subsided, all of whom needed to breathe a sigh of relief and wait until the second half.
The score on the sideline scoreboard remains the same as it was 45 minutes ago.
Boston's style of play is defence, almost lethal defense, they are the kind of attack that has to be based on a defense that guarantees not to concede a goal, but unlike the first 80 minutes of the new Manchester United against Arsenal, Bruce pinned the victory on Hleb in the last 10 minutes, while Boston was going to stick to 90 minutes.
Some people may wonder how such a team can climb to the second place in the current league.
Don't be surprised, the national league is still an amateur league, the team's technical and tactical play is generally not as rigorous as the professional league, and it is full of a large number of amateur players, so it is often easy to be impetuous, and Boston seizes the opportunity when it is unable to break the opposing player.
However, the new Manchester United played very calmly, and under the dispatch of Juninho Jr., it did not give the Boston team any chance, but the new Manchester United was also unable to break Boston's iron bucket formation.
It's funny to say that when the new Manchester United laid down the iron bucket formation for Arsenal, the fans rejoiced that they could defeat Arsenal, but now they are clamped down by Boston's iron bucket formation, but they feel very unwilling in their hearts and scold each other for being shameless.
Of course, Boston can climb to their current position, both as a player and as a manager, and there is still a certain level, especially in terms of the tactics of restraining the new Manchester United.
Kic, who has been excellent this season, has hardly played in this game, he was firmly watched to death by the opposing two central defenders, and once the new Manchester United get the ball into Boston's defensive area, before entering the 35-meter area, Boston will decisively use foul tactics, because they are afraid of the free kick super Juninho Jr.
These were once tactics used by the new United to contain the enemy, but now they are being used by the enemy against themselves.
On the surface of the entire first half, the new Manchester United firmly grasped the initiative, but it also failed to get too many chances, especially after the strongest firepower point was restrained by Quic, the new Manchester United's offense lost most of its power.
…………
…………
"We can see that in the first half, the strong attacking power of the new Manchester United was completely restrained by the Boston United, this is the first time this season that the new Manchester United has been cornered by the opponent, from the final stage of the first half, we can even see that the players of the new Manchester United are clearly showing irritability, and we have reason to believe that Boston will be more active in the second half than in the first half!"
The clash between the top two teams in the table attracted a live broadcast from a local TV station in the East Midlands, and they also invited a veteran fan to comment on the game, but it looked clear that the commentator was on the side of the Boston fans.
"I took a look at the fact that in the first half, the new Manchester United won a total of 13 free-kicks in front of goal, but they were all in a remote position in goal, I believe this was specially arranged by Boston before the game, after all, the opponent has a very good free-kick master, once he is within 35 meters, his free-kick skills will be a great threat to us."
"In addition, the two wings of the new Manchester United have also been restrained by us, coupled with the suppression of the high school forward Kic, so that the offensive firepower of the new Manchester United in this game has been completely dismantled, and at the same time, their defense is constantly moving forward, leaving us a large space to counterattack behind us, this is a great opportunity, I believe the head coach of Boston will definitely see this!"
"With players from both sides coming in, we can see that Boston's line-up hasn't changed in any way, and the team's fastest No.9 striker is still on the pitch, so it's clear that Boston is trying to use his pace to counter-attack and threaten the new Manchester United backline."
"Well, in addition, we saw that the new Manchester United were the first to make substitutions."
By the time the commentator said this, the assistant referee on the sidelines had already lit up their number plates, starting with No. 11 Crouch replacing No. 18 Knevik and No. 20 Kitson replacing left wing-back Patrice Evra. ”
Obviously, even the commentators were surprised by the two substitutions made by the new Manchester United at the start of the second half, and the two substitutions turned out to be forwards.
But when Crouch and Kitson stood next to Kic, it made all the Boston fans in the audience, including the TV commentators, gasp.
Kic's 2.02 meters, Crouch's 2.01 meters, Kitson 1.91 meters, these three big men rushed to the front of the team, which means that the new Manchester United wants to adopt the tactics of bombing indiscriminately in the next half of the game to impact Boston's iron bucket formation.
Bruce, who was on the sidelines, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and he smiled at Cassel next to him very confidently: "You said that three tall players rushed into the penalty area, can Boston defend against it?" ”
Cassel smiled wryly, he can only say that it is really difficult to find a second team like the new Manchester United in this world, and it has three tall forwards at the same time, among which Crouch is inferior in headers, but his skills are very good, with him to pick up the two powerful centers of Kic and Kitson, even if Boston's defense is impregnable, I am afraid that a door to victory will be carned.
After bringing on Crouch and Kitson, Olic switched to left wing-back, but he was asked by Bruce to drop back more in midfield to help defence, with both flanks going to the skilled Hleb and Abidal, Distin and Stansson playing in the back three, so that the new United's tactics became 343.
However, Bruce's 343 is obviously not just trying to strengthen the attack, Juninho Jr. retreated deeper, playing as a midfielder with Paulson, but he is more responsible for organizing, plus the retreating Olich, so the defensive thickness of the new Manchester United has not decreased, but the attack is obviously more threatening.
…………
…………
It's not that England's most legendary formation is the 442, but England's most admired attacking style is to play long balls, which is simple, direct, and at the same time very threatening.
New Manchester United only went to one bridgehead in the first half and was targeted by the opponent's two central defenders, so Bruce simply went to three bridgeheads in the second half to see how they stared!
Kic and Kitson are both the kind of players with very good heading ability and are also very strong, while Crouch is not as good as the two, but his height advantage is very obvious, plus his skills are very good, so he has become the lubricant for Kic and Kitson on the court.
Then, the new Manchester United played a long pass very thoroughly, decisively and resolutely.
Completely abandoning the area between the midfield and 35 meters of the first half and Boston, the three strikers of the new Manchester United squeezed into the penalty area one by one, while Juninho Jr. and Paulson and others in the back made long passes to the opponent's penalty area as soon as they got the ball.
The height advantage, combined with a strong body, allows both Kic and Kitson to basically grab the first point, and then see whether it is passed to Crouch, who is always nearby, or Hleb, who is vacant, and then the front court four play on their own.
And with two strikers at the same time, Bruce also used this way to tell the players on the field that this game must be won!
Bruce has already dealt with the impatience mentioned by the on-site commentators, and he handed over to Juninho Jr. at halftime, and he will control the team's tempo.
Juninho Jr. is a smart man, and at the beginning of the second half, seeing that the opponent was shocked by the three high school forwards, he immediately waved the flag and led his teammates to launch a fierce attack on Boston's goal.
The Boston players who were originally placed near the midfield to defend looked up and saw the ball flying over their heads, but they didn't hit the ground, but the long pass of the new Manchester United was for the attack, and the long pass of the Boston defender was to clear the siege.
It was under such a very English style of long ball rushing tactics that the new Manchester United blasted Boston's goal.
In the 51st minute of the second half, Kitson received a long pass from the backfield and gave a header to Crouch nearby, who swung his long legs dexterously and knocked the ball to Kic, who met the ball and shot angrily, 0:1!
After scoring a goal, the new Manchester United was like a hungry tiger that smelled blood, and continued to grin at Boston.
In the 54th minute, it was still a long pass from the backfield, Kic hit the goal with a header, was saved by the goalkeeper in the penalty area, and Hleb on the back heel received the ball and passed to the far post, and Kitson, who had been waiting in ambush there, scored with a close-range header, 0:2!
Conceded two goals in less than 5 minutes, which surprised Boston, especially after the new Manchester United took the lead, did not weaken the offensive at all, and attacked frantically as always, which made Boston's head coach a little flustered, and immediately replaced a central defender, intending to fill the hole in the defensive line.
The substitutions did play a role, but they didn't stop the new United from continuing to attack.
Juninho Jr. played the role of a core player at this time, and when he saw that the Boston defense had returned to order, he immediately slowed down the pace of the attack, and even began to pretend to be inadvertently downped in the backcourt to slow down the pace of the game.
The slowness of the new Manchester United suddenly relieved the worried Boston players, and they began to slow down, but just when they thought that the new Manchester United planned to continue to slow down, Juninho Jr. suddenly shifted a diagonal long pass to the left side of the opponent.
Hleb accelerated to catch up, stopped the ball, crossed, and said that Kic smashed the ball into the goal near the near post, 0:3!
The goal conceded gave Boston's players no hope of equalising, and their head coach replaced the only No. 9 striker at this time, replacing a midfielder to strengthen the defense, and also announced that he had abandoned the game.
And in the 75th minute, the new Manchester United scored another goal by Kitterson to win the decisive battle with a score of 0:4, which was hailed as a decisive battle that could affect the qualification for this season's League C place!
