After a draw at home to Everton, the new Manchester United performed well in the next two warm-up games, winning 0-1 and 1-2 respectively, ending seven warm-up games of the season.

The outstanding performance in the warm-up game made the fans of the new Manchester United look forward to the team's performance in the new season, because the opponents in the warm-up game were strong and weak, but except for the game with Everton team was suppressed, the other games of the new Manchester United were dominant, especially the positive performance of the players on the field, which made the fans have high hopes for the team.

In this case, the new Manchester United finally ushered in the first game of the League C after a week's rest.

As the first game of the new season, the new Manchester United took the game very seriously, arriving in Shrewsbury, northwest of Birmingham, two days before the start of the year, where they trained at a school in preparation for the upcoming League 3 game.

After seven warm-up games, Mourinho decided to let Kitson play as the starting single striker, Crouch was used as a surprise player, and the rest remained largely unchanged, with Malouda and Hleb on the wings, Juninho Jr., Arau Diarra and Paulsen in midfield, Abidal, John Terry, Distin and Bosingwa in the back line from left to right, and Schmeichel in goal.

This main line-up performed well against Everton, and also played well in the following warm-up games, especially Kitson's deterrence in the penalty area, which made Mourinho's 433 winger tactics more powerful.

However, it was this set of main squads that Mourinho and new Manchester United fans had high hopes for this season, and the Prosta Stadium next to the railway was met with a stubborn counterattack by the home team on the outskirts of Shrewsbury.

Shrewsbury had a terrible run in League C last year, and had it not been for their surprise last-round upset to beat Rochdale, who had been relegated to the national league and had it been because of that game that Rochdale lost their play-off qualification last season and ultimately failed to achieve promotion.

Shrewsbury have been poor in their pre-season warm-up games this season, drawing two and losing three of their five warm-up games, and their opponents are not strong, which is why the new Manchester United fans are full of confidence in this game.

But who knows, Shrewsbury gave a head-on blow to the new Manchester United from the first minute of the game.

In the third minute, Shrewsbury attacked the new Manchester United defence one after another, and after a round of fierce attacks, a cross from the left flank was sent down the bottom of the opposition's No.9 striker in the middle, and the header broke through Schmeichel's goal.

In the process of conceding the goal, Bosingwa stepped forward and did not recover it in time, resulting in the opponent's left midfielder easily starting the ball, and Terry and Distin in the middle both leaked, making the opponent's No. 9 center forward easily grasp the opportunity.

This made Mourinho so angry on the sidelines that he almost rushed up to pull the player down and scolded him, and he has repeatedly reminded the players to pay close attention to the opponent's cross from the left at the beginning of the game, and the tall No.9 center forward cannot give him the opportunity to face the goal easily.

But in fact, both Terry and Distin took his words as wind on their ears, and neither of them showed up in time for where they should have been, much to Mourinho's sadness.

"Hey, bastards, do you want to go back and taste it?" Mourinho stood on the sidelines and roared loudly, making exaggerated gestures, "Remember what I told you before the game? Press it on, press it all on me, bastards! ”

Probably feeling the wrath of the manager, the players did not dare to be careless on the pitch, especially Bosingwa at right wing-back, once Malouda and Abidal on the left flank stepped forward, he would think about his back first, and then retreat a little bit to take his position.

As a result, Shrewsbury's counterattack began to be clamped down by the new Manchester United, but the opponent's defense was also very tenacious, not giving an inch, and not giving the new Manchester United even the slightest advantage.

In this case, the new United are more of a direct approach, finding Kitson up front, who will then act as the team's bridgehead, with Malouda and Hleb acting as the second wave of attacking points.

As a result, the tactics began to become more similar to the tactics created by Bruce last season, except that Kic became Kitson, Knovic became Malouda, and in terms of defensive duties, Paulsen was responsible for Essien's defense last season, and Arau Diarra became last season's Paulson.

It only changed slightly, but the team's attack was completely activated, especially Juninho Jr., who began to push forward more decisively in midfield, and he dared to dribble and share the ball, because he knew that Paulsen and Arau Diarra would be in charge of filling in for him.

Although Arau Diarra is not as physical and strong as Essien in midfield, he is able to provide a consistent passing point for Juninho Jr. behind him, and his passing and running ability off the ball is better than Essien's, which greatly shares the pressure on Juninho.

In addition, Arau Diarra's height advantage in the middle has added height to the new Manchester United's interceptions in midfield, and he is not afraid of physical confrontation at all, which is why Mourinho has used him as the main team.

However, it was clear to the opposition that the new United had changed, and immediately retracted the defence, intending to hold on to the scoreline, even if it was only the first half, but it did not prevent them from being conservative at all, and they felt that once the new United could not attack for a long time, they would definitely show their holes again, and this was the best time for them to establish victory.

…………

…………

It seemed that the opponent's strategy succeeded, and throughout the first half, the new United firmly dominated the game, but they were unable to break down the Shrewsbury goal.

At half-time, Mourinho signaled that the team should play more patiently, after all, in the first half of the game, the new United were firmly dominant, but Mourinho asked the players to pay attention to the opponent's counterattack while attacking, but he kept seeing the opponent's fast left midfielder on the sidelines always roaming around the back line of the new Manchester United.

In this case, once the opponent breaks through the goal again, it will be a fatal blow!

Shrewsbury has a ball in hand, and they are not in a hurry at all, their defense is like an iron wall, not giving the new Manchester United any chance at all, and the new Manchester United does not seem to have been able to find too many changes in the attack, and is always used to looking for Kitterson.

The Shrewsbury head coach had already spotted this at half-time, so his team's centre-backs focused on Kitterson, which immediately put the new United's tactics to a complete halt.

"Jose, it's not okay to go on like this!" Boas came to Mourinho's side and reminded.

Mourinho had a grim face and nodded, judging from the field, the new Manchester United has an absolute advantage, but there are not many opportunities to really pose a threat to the opponent, and the opponent has obviously made up his mind to defend.

"Rodrigo!" Jose Mourinho shouted at the bench.

Palacio jumped off the bench, and Boas immediately motioned for him to warm up.

A few minutes later, the scene on the pitch remained unchanged as Mourinho called Palacio over for a warm-up.

"When you come on the pitch you go and play as a striker, partner with Dave, I'll let them pass you as much as possible, use your technique and speed, remember, don't hesitate, don't be afraid to lose the ball, we have the advantage now, the opponent can't fight back after conceding the ball, you give me no scruples to break up their defense, with Alexander, understand?"

Amid the deafening cheers of the fans in the stands, Mourinho slapped Palacio the shoulder and motioned for him to go on the pitch, before he walked to the sidelines.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Mourinho called Juninho Jr. to the sidelines, telling him not to play high balls next, play more positional cooperation, pass more to Palacio, and at the same time let Arau Diarra and Paulsen retreat, pay attention to defense, and the team changed to 352! ”

Just kidding, this is my first official game in charge of Jose Mourinho, how can I lose?

Palacio replaced Bosingwa, who had a bad performance in the game, and he came on to partner Kitson up front, and the team's tactics immediately changed to 352, with Arau Diarra and Paulsen playing in double midfield, Juninho Jr. in central midfield, and nothing else changed.

In this way, the new Manchester United suppressed Shrewsbury on the whole more thoroughly, especially after Palacio came on the field, he was very active, his speed, dribbling and breakthrough ability are very bright in the new Manchester United, especially after he first came on the field, he had a beautiful dribbling emergency stop and then accelerated to get rid of the opponent's defenders, which aroused the cheers of the new Manchester United fans in the stands who had been depressed for a long time.

After Palacio came on the pitch, the players on the left and right flanks were also activated, especially Hleb on the right, who was also very skilled and worked with Palacio like a fish in water, stirring the opponent's backline into a pot of porridge.

In the 81st minute, Palacio dribbled through an opposing defender and passed diagonally to Hleb, who looked up at Kitson in the penalty area and crossed decisively.

Kitson, who had been depressed for 80 minutes in this game, pressed the opponent's central defender behind him and headed it towards the fast-coming ball.

The ball crossed the goalkeeper and hung straight to the bottom of the net, 1:1!

After the goal, Kitson was very excited, and the morale of the new Manchester United was full of confidence to win the game.

However, the Shrewsbury manager clearly did not intend to make the new United happy, he just conservatively thought that if he could get a point in the first round, it would be a good result, so he switched on a defensive player again.

In the end, the first professional game of the new Manchester United, Mourinho's first official game in charge, unfortunately ended in a 1-1 draw.

Failing to secure a draw despite the dominance made the team feel very frustrated.

But that's just the beginning!

ps: In recent days, I was suddenly transferred, and I was in a bad mood, and I had to come back at noon every day, and I worked overtime until now

Yesterday I was in a really bad mood, I had a fight with a head, and when I came back and saw being scolded, it was inevitable that the fire was a little bigger, and now I think about it, I feel that it seems to be a bit of a fuss, sorry!

As my wife said, some people just want to be angry with you, and if you are angry, then they will be in their way, in reality, on the Internet!

It's not a novice to write books, but Lao Chen still can't be as forbearant as some friends who also write books, and he's ashamed!

Some people say that Lao Chen's surname should go to the book review area less, so as not to make trouble in my heart, but I like to go to the book review area, because I always feel that an online novel has been updated for such a long time, and what is needed is frequent interaction between readers and authors, which can stimulate some sparks of inspiration.

In fact, there are many suggestions from friends in the book review area, which I think are very useful, and if you read the book carefully, you will find that there will be more and more in the future!

Finally, I wish you all a happy reading!
