172 Who Falls Behind?
Out of caution, Mourinho did not immediately agree to use the nutritional pill in the official match, but he first had to test the pill's name and effect through training, and he wanted to know very well how effective the pill would be.
If you think that taking a pill at halftime can make a player who almost collapses his physical strength immediately become full of speed, then he must be disappointed, because this nutritional pill is definitely not so miraculous, it should be a legendary elixir, not a mortal mortal can have.
However, there must be a medicine surname, and it should be not bad, the principle of action is like ordinary people who are hungry and weak, and after eating, they will become energetic after resting, but the pill shortens the absorption process, and at the same time, the different physique of each player, as well as their characteristics and playing style, etc., are formulated according to the surname, which makes the formula of each pill different, but the effect is obvious on everyone's body.
When testing pills internally, the laboratory also attaches great importance to it, and specially sends a testing team chaired by Derek to test players who take pills, the purpose is to know whether the player's body will be allergic or invalid after taking the pill.
But obviously, no, because the pills are really just some very common nutrients, I'm afraid no one will be allergic to food, right?
On December 8, the new Manchester United hosted Cheltenham United, the team that was promoted to League C a year earlier than the new Manchester United, and performed well in the League C in the two years after promotion, almost qualifying for the play-offs for two consecutive years, and last year they ended up in 8th place in the standings, but unfortunately failed to succeed in the last kick.
This year's Cheltenham comeback is hoping to go further in the league, even if it's just to get into the play-off qualifying zone, at least to have a chance to fight for promotion, and it is because of this that Cheltenham have been desperate in this game as they are once again 8th in the league.
As long as they win this game, they have a chance to finish in the top seven of the league, and it is really unreasonable not to work hard.
But the new United are also desperate to keep the pressure on Brighton while also balancing the threat of Cardiff and a Blacksawa who will be pulled out of the top three at any time if they don't work hard in this game.
In this way, the new Manchester United definitely have more reasons to fight than Cheltenham, so in the game, the new Manchester United also showed more tenacity than Cheltenham.
Crouch, who started in place of Kitson, played as a lone striker, with Wright Phillips and Hleb on the wings, De Rossi, Juninho Jr. and Poulsen in midfield, Patrice Evra, John Terry, Curtis and Bosingwa in the back line from left to right, and Almunia in goal.
If you look at it purely from the average age of the players, the new Manchester United will lose a lot to Cheltenham, but if you look at the fighting spirit and the level of hard work on the field, the new Manchester United will definitely overwhelm the opponent, plus the home game.
From the North West Division B, to the National League, and now the League C, the home stadium of the new United is never quiet, and the fans are the 12th players on the pitch, who will create nightmarish pressure on the opponents from the moment they step onto the pitch.
The boos are overwhelming, and the debris frequently flies out of the stands, as long as you look up slightly, you can immediately see that you seem to be trapped in a red turbulent angry sea, the wind and waves can roll you high at any time, and then throw you down.
The Devil's home stadium, this is not what the new Manchester United fans call themselves, because they don't feel like the devil, they are fearless Red Rebels, not even the devil.
That's the name given to the city stadium after the away team leaves, because they always have regrets and failures, and there are people who can't afford to lose and they will follow the example of a certain national team and put everything off the pitch, for example, the turf is too wet, for example, the fans are too crazy, for example......
The City Stadium, which has never been beaten by an away team, is the pride of the Red Rebels, the proudest pride of the Red Rebels fans, who can shout on the streets of Manchester, even if even the high-flying Premier League powerhouse Arsenal can't take the City Stadium?
Every time, the away team thinks they can, but really?
They fell victim to the unbeaten record at the City Stadium.
It's the same with Cheltenham!
The game had lost its meaning in the first half, although Crouch failed to practice his iron head skills according to Xiao Yu's wishes, but his foot skills were very good, and in this game, Mourinho asked the two wingers to cut more inside, give up Kitson's side crosses when he came on the field, and cooperate more with Crouch.
After the winger cut inside, the whole wing was ceded to give up space for Patrice Evra and Bosingwa to cut forward, and with Juninho Jr.'s back row, the attacking ability of the new United ensured victory and spectatorship.
At the end of the first half, the score was 3:0, the home team was in front, the away team was behind, and the new Manchester United had sealed the win in advance.
It was young man Wright Phillips, who replaced Malouda, who scored twice in the first half, and captain Juninho Jr., who scored a brilliant direct free-kick.
Three goals, one more exciting than the other, and the fans of the new Manchester United were crazy with joy.
After the rematch in the second half, the new Manchester United still maintained the momentum of the first half, creating enough pressure on Cheltenham to press them in the half, and in the 57th minute, Crouch assisted Hleb to score a goal, 4:0!
After that, the new Manchester United also began to consciously slow down the tempo, began to play the ball very patiently, around the Cheltenham half to launch a wave of attacks, although the team scored another goal in the 74th minute, but Cheltenham took advantage of the new Manchester United defensive laxity, along the left side of the fast, broke through the Bosingwa defense, scored a face-saving goal.
The 5-1 score once again turned the city stadium into a sea of joy, but the players in the dressing room were not happy at all, for the simple reason that the manager was angry!
Mourinho was very strict with the team, he repeatedly stressed before the game that he must create enough pressure on Cheltenham in the full 90 minutes of the game, and it is best not to give them a chance to counterattack, but at the end of the game, the new Manchester United players were still negligent.
A goal conceded is not a problem, the problem is that Mourinho felt that his words were not taken to heart by the players, so he felt that the players should be given some warnings, so in the next away game against Banlet, Terry, Bosingwa, Juninho Jr., Hleb did not even make the squad, and Poulsen and Evra were put on the bench.
Instead, Kitson and Palacio were the two strikers, Olic and Wright Phillips were the two wing-backs, the central midfield was De Rossi and Aarau Diarra, the back line was Abidal, Hangrande, Curtis, Essien from left to right, and the goalkeeper was Almunia.
Nearly half of the starting lineup are substitute players, and it is a 442 tactic that the team is not very familiar with, and Mourinho also specially announced the starting lineup two years in advance, which makes the outside world speculate that the new Manchester United wants to rest the main players, but although Banlett is the deputy squad leader, his strength should not be underestimated.
But in reality, at the Underhill Stadium in north London, the performance of the new United was not ambiguous at all, Kitson was still the team's bridgehead, at the front, Palacio was nimble looking for opportunities around him, Olic and Wright Phillips were in the early position, more like wingers, De Rossi and Aarau Diarra occupied the middle of the midfield, which made the tactics closer to 4231.
For the new Manchester United now, the position of the players is not important, because they are very mobile, they have a lot of mobility, like Olich, because Wright Phillips often switches to the left, so he goes to the front to go forward, Palacio will move to the right, more like a right winger.
It is precisely because of this frequent change of position that it is not easy for Banlett to defend, coupled with frequent mistakes, they finally lost 0:2 to the visiting new Manchester United, the goal is Palacio and Olich, this is also Olich's first goal of the season, but he has 2 assists, and his hard work on the field and the ability to run without dying, so that Mourinho likes it.
However, what made Mourinho even happier was that the new Manchester United did not make the same mistakes as in the previous game, and put great pressure on Banlett from start to finish, did not give them too many chances, and finally won the opponent.

After returning to Manchester, the new Manchester United rested for a week again, concentrating on preparing for the home game against Plymouth on the 22nd, and because the away opponent on the 26th was Rochdale near Manchester, Mourinho had an agreement with the players that if the game was a big win against the opponent, then he would consider the Christmas holiday, and at the same time postpone the time to rush to the away game to challenge the opponent until the morning of the 26th.
This immediately excites the players, for whom Christmas is like the Chinese New Year, and it is happier for them to be able to spend Christmas with their families.
It was under the impetus of this sentiment that the players all played 200 per cent in the game, desperately trying to break through Plymouth's goal, and the momentum almost surprised Plymouth who were playing away, because in their eyes, the new Manchester United players seemed to be eating people.
The game ended up 4:0, and the new Manchester United at home won again and got the three points, but because Brighton, Cardiff and Kurosawa did not fall behind, the top four in the league have not changed, which also makes Xiao Yu nervous, because he knows that the more he is in this moment, the more he needs to be calm and rational.
Whoever falls behind first will be finished first!
So he agreed with Mourinho's decision to let the players go for the holidays, and even went so far as to give a red envelope and Christmas gift to every player before the Christmas holiday, even the young players in the academy.
Although the gift is not expensive, it is better than the heart!
Just after Xiao Yu finished giving the gift, a guest suddenly visited the Newton Heath training base!
