"If you want to restrain the Red Rebels, you must find ways to find their midfield, and whoever wins the midfielder wins the world, and whoever can restrain the midfielder of the Red Rebels will be able to control the game!"
That's what Ferguson emphasised before setting up his tactics before the game, and it's what he's been using against the Red Rebels. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tactics will change, the formation will change, but the core concept will not change!
No matter what kind of lineup Ferguson puts out and what tactics he arranges, he will not deviate from this foundation, that is, to restrain the midfield of the Red Rebels, do everything possible to seize control of the midfield, and even if he can't grab it, he must do his best to destroy and disrupt the rhythm of the Red Rebels.
"A lot of people can't restrain the Red Rebels' midfield, that's because they always don't understand, it's just a double back, but why does the Red Rebels seem to have a lot of people in the midfield?"
"Kaka's retreat, Curtis's forward insertion, the Red Rebels' midfield is actually not just two, not just four, their players are like flowing water, there are loopholes over there and they flow that way, so Alves can start cutting inside in the midfield, and Xiao Xiaoluo can also retreat to the midfield to participate in defense and strategy."
"If you want to limit the midfield of the Red Rebels, you can't simply arrange the tasks according to the traditional tactics, because the Red Rebels have a very large turnover of players, and only by building a mobile wall can they resist their attacks!"
Standing in front of the home team's dugout at Old Trafford, Ferguson looked at the pitch with a smile.
He has never been an academy manager, and even UEFA officials have asked him to take tactical training courses to teach him the most advanced tactical concepts, but Ferguson has dismissed this.
Tactics have never been conventional, there are only epiphany, and the understanding of tactics itself accumulated through experience.
Alex Ferguson was undoubtedly a brilliant tactician, but now he relies more on his own tactical understanding to control the game, he doesn't need to learn from other people's strengths, he just has what belongs to him.
So far in the game, his team have executed their tactics well, and the Red Rebels were a little caught off guard by a burst of onslaught after the opening kick-off, after all, there were a number of young players in the squad, and then they began to hold on to keep the score.
It has been said that the three managers who can keep the Red Rebels at bay are Manchester United's Alex Ferguson, Droisden's Manuel Pellegrini, and Manchester City's Louis van Gaal.
Now, Ferguson has proven that once again!
Turning his head sideways and looking at Mourinho with a deep smile on his face, Ferguson secretly smug in his heart, "Do you have a way to break the mobile cage I laid for your team?" ”
Mourinho naturally didn't know what Ferguson was thinking, but he saw Ferguson's provocative eyes, and he was angry in his heart, he knew that Ferguson worked hard for this game, and even Manchester United gave up the Premier League in order to be able to defeat the Red Rebels.
If he gets his wish, then Manchester United will be the favourites to win the Carabao Cup, and the other two teams in the last four are Aston Villa and Blackburn, and in terms of quality alone, the two teams will hardly be opponents of Manchester United.
In other words, it's the equivalent of an early final!
"What should I do?" Juninho Jr. came to Mourinho's side, and there was no way to deal with it.
Mourinho looked at the time, it was 55 minutes, and there was really not much time left for the Red Rebels, and at this time, he saw on the pitch, Manchester United's right wing-back, Croatia's captain Srna, the player who has become a world-class full-back after joining Manchester United, has been infected with a yellow card in this game.
To bet, or not to bet?
Mourinho was quick to decide!
"Nimar, go warm up!"
At Old Trafford, Cassel's shouts were even drowned out by the shouts of the Red Devils fans in the nearby stands, so much so that he saw that Nimar was not moving, so he had to run over and pull the Brazilian off the bench directly, then pointed to the grass next to the pitch and motioned for him to warm up.
Five minutes later, the staff on the sidelines immediately raised the substitution sign, and the Old Trafford stadium broadcast the radio system, and the Red Rebels replaced the Brazilian teenager Nimar with the average left wing-back Davide? Thornton.
Replacing a full-back with a winger is undoubtedly a signal to strengthen the attack up front.
Nimar came on the field, he was a little nervous, but when he saw Mourinho standing naturally on the sidelines, he was sure for no reason, and then bent down, grabbed a handful of grass clippings from the ground, gently put it to his mouth and kissed it, and then ran forward.
Jose Mourinho called John Terry over and explained to him the team's latest tactical arrangements.
After Nimar came on the field, the tactics of the Red Rebels immediately changed from the original 4231 to 352, the original left winger Walcott was pushed to the front line, and Drogba formed a double striker combination, Nimar played the left winger until the Ozil was still the front midfielder, Mika? Richards moved from his original right wing-back to the middle, forming a three-centre-back combination with John Terry and Nemanja Vidic.
"The boss just said that after the game starts, we will attack the left side, that is, the right side of Manchester United, and we must win this game in one go!" Drogba called all his teammates in the front court over and loudly explained the task of the game.
"Nimar, don't be too nervous, make the most of your skill and speed, and we'll try to create a one-on-one opportunity for you to take out Srna on the flank, understand?"
Nimar's eyes widened and he stared at Drogba, as if he wanted to get a little confidence from Drogba, while the latter looked determined, as if the Red Rebels had won the game.
"He's got a yellow card, you try to get past him with your skills, Theo and Mesut will help you!"
Nimar looked at Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil, both of whom kept nodding at him, Srna's yellow card was caused by a foul on Walcott, the England winger's speed and technique are a headache, but now the fitness is a bit of a dip.
Mourinho's purpose is clear, to use Nimar's new force to attack directly on the right side of Manchester United!
…………………… After the game restarted, United sent a throw-in and organized a wave of counter-attacks, but as soon as the ball passed half-time, it was immediately attacked by the Red Rebels, who were quickly cut off by the Red Rebels.
Michael? Johnson picked up the ball in midfield and immediately launched a long diagonal pass that went straight behind Srna.
Nimar is very fast, although not as good as Walcott, a player who has a double 20 in speed and explosiveness in the game, but his speed and explosiveness have also reached 19, and his technique is very delicate. As soon as Johnson passed the ball, he started chasing the ball.
Not to be outdone, Srna wasn't as fast as Nimar, but he was experienced enough to use his body and all sorts of small movements to keep Nimar from sprinting to the Brazilian and then fall to the ground before he could get the ball out of bounds and form a throw-in for the Red Rebels.
Disrupting a wave of attacks by the Red Rebels, Srna was hailed and applauded by the Red Devils fans in the Old Trafford stands!
Nimar gasped for air, under a lot of pressure against a world-class full-back like Srna, and he felt as if he had been informed of his every move.
The feeling made him very uncomfortable, and his physical energy was depleted quickly, but after a desperate sprint, he began to gasp for breath.
The ball was quickly driven and after a few successive passes, it came to the left again, and it was another one-on-one chance between Nimar and Srna, and the Brazilian opted for a feint, but Srna was unmoved, and then a tackle in a position was clean.
Lost again! Nimar was furious!
In just one minute after he came on the pitch, he faced Srna twice in a row, but he ended in a heavy defeat without exception.
The Red Devils fans in the stands booed Nemar loudly, and were obviously very disappointed with the talented star who was dubbed the new Pele, and even fell into the ground, which is also the attitude of Red Devils fans towards the Red Rebels players.
One minute later, Nimar won the ball again, but this time he saw Srna step forward and immediately passed the ball, but it was too rushed, and the ball was quickly cut off by Manchester United's Fletcher, disrupting a wave of Red Rebels' attacks.
After that, Nimar seemed to have lost the courage to face Srna directly in several contacts.
"Coward...... Coward from Brazil, you should go home and drink milk, instead of coming to the pitch to face our brave Dario, he is an invincible iron gate, you are doomed! ”
The Red Devils fans in the stands wrote an improvised song, put on a familiar melody, and sang it directly, hoping to use it to blow Nimar's self-confidence.
Mourinho on the sidelines had a cold face, and he saw Nimar's poor performance after coming on the field.
"He really seems to have lost his self-confidence!" Cassel worried.
Nimar's previous performance was really impressive, but he was young and inexperienced, but Srna was very sophisticated, ruthless in defense, and had a lot of small movements, Nimar was a little tired to deal with, and he was still suffering physically.
As long as you think about it, when Walket was on the left just now, he didn't take much advantage of Srna, so it is not surprising that Nimar's situation is not surprising.
"If he only has such a little skill, then we all think highly of him!" Mourinho replied lightly.
If you want to be the new Pele, you must be able to withstand the pressure and be able to cope with the defense of the likes of Srna, otherwise, you will only play a few tricks in training and within the team, which is definitely not worthy of this title.
The 1-0 defeat away to Manchester United is not the end of the world for the Red Rebels, and Mourinho's return to home is not without a way to turn the tables, the only regret is that the Red Rebels' winning record will come to an end.
But does Nimar really not dare to face Srna again?
…………………… In the 70th minute, after a few evasions, the Red Rebels also seemed to consciously move the ball to the middle and right, because they realized that the ball reached Nimar on the left, as if hitting the wall, and soon returned.
But when blocked in the middle and on the right, the ball had to be shifted to the left.
This time, Nimar cleverly stopped the ball, turned around and faced Srna straight ahead.
Almost at the moment when Srna came up, Nimar pretended to flick the ball to the right and duffled a shot to trick Srna into shifting his weight to the right, but he quickly pulled the ball back to the other side with the inside of his foot at random, and went straight past Srna.
The whole passing action is very coherent and fast, breathtaking, and it is Ronaldinho's signature passing action, ox tail!
After Srna was shaken away, he couldn't catch up with Nimar, who went down to the bottom line and directly picked up the penalty area, Drogba firmly controlled Mexes with his body at the back point, and the header was ferried back to the front point, Walcott ghostly appeared where he should have been, and stabbed the ball into the goal, 1:1!
"It's beautiful, it's wonderful! Nimar, a 17-year-old Brazilian, played Ronaldinho's signature move on the pitch, broke through Srna and crossed, which was headed by Drogba and assisted Theo Walcourt to score the game-winning goal! ”
After the goal, Theo Walket ran to Nimar as soon as possible, and the Red Rebels players also rushed to Nimar.
The same technical moves, Nimar used in the youth team, in training, but not in the game, but now he suddenly uses it, and the effect is surprisingly good.
"This kid is so cunning!" Srna looked elated, as if the ball had been scored by himself, and said indignantly.
In the previous few contacts, Nimar deliberately pretended to be afraid of Srna, let Srna's guard down, and then suddenly gave Srna a surprise attack that caught him off guard.
There is no doubt that Srna has to bear some responsibility for the goal conceded, he was too careless and was deceived out of his position all of a sudden, so he hated Nimal even more in his heart, and he couldn't wait to eat the Brazilian alive.
The referee signalled for the game to continue, and the United players kicked off in the middle circle.
The Red Rebels, who recovered the score, used their momentum to launch a fierce attack on Manchester United's defence, especially the left side occupied by Nimar, which became the focus of the attack.
This time, Nimar no longer played tricks with Srna, but frequently used his skills and speed every time to create a lot of problems for Srna, plus Walcott and Ozil were on the left, and the three of them skillfully combined up in the front, making Srna a little tired.
Ferguson guessed Mourinho's intentions, but he didn't have a better choice, because Srna was already his most reliable right wing-back, if it was replaced by O'Shea, or Weiss? Brown, I guess it's worse than Srner.
In the 79th minute, after being broken by Nimar several times in a row, Srna also seemed to be on fire.
Nimar took the ball and faced Srna directly, this time he chose a dazzling bicycle action, he was already familiar with these movements, and it was a series of feints at his fingertips, which deceived Srna and lost his center of gravity, thinking that he was going to break through to the periphery, but in fact he chose to cut inside.
Srna who was deceived was very unwilling, turned around and chased after him directly, and saw that Nimar was blocked outside the box by Fletcher at the edge of the penalty area, and immediately rushed over, saw an opportunity, and directly put down the tackle.
Nimar falls to the ground and the referee's whistle blows!
Foul on the back tackle!
Without hesitation, the referee on duty ran up and beckoned to Srna.
By this time, Ferdinand had realised that something was wrong, and as captain of the team, he immediately rushed forward and reasoned with the referee, but the referee clearly insisted on his decision and gave Srna a yellow card.
As a result, Srna turned two yellows into one red and was sent off the field directly.
The entire Old Trafford stadium immediately erupted in boos, and they all apparently believed that the referee was biased in favour of the Red Rebels, sending off the main defenders at a critical moment, and also giving the Red Rebels a very good direct free-kick opportunity.
Michael? Johnson stood near the penalty spot, receiving support and encouragement from his teammates, and then slowly took a few steps back.
Manchester United's human wall was quickly lined up, but it seems that they are facing Michael? Johnson's free-kick skills have a deep fear, this is the most outstanding free-kick taker in world football after Juninho Jr. and Beckham, and even many fans believe that his free-kick strength is better than Pirlo and Piero.
When the referee blew the whistle, Michael? Johnson took a few steps to send the ball away, and it was a strange curling ball with no intense spin, but the direction of the ball was unusually erratic.
Adler, although he wanted to stop it, made a mistake in judgment and could only watch the ball graze the post and go into the net, which was an absolute dead end, 1:2!
The Red Rebels have finally reversed the score!
In Michael? The moment Johnson scored the goal, the entire Red Rebels stadium was booed and cheered, the boos came from the Red Devils fans, and the cheers came from the Red Rebels fans!
With the Red Devils one man missing, the Red Rebels made a comeback, which undoubtedly established the victory of this game, and no matter how strong Ferguson was, it was impossible to change the game!
There are only 10 minutes left!
Nimar, the new Pele who came out of nowhere, came off the bench in this game and showed amazing skill and awareness, and he became the winner of the match, Mourinho, completely dominated the final course of the game.
Although he did not score, he was credited with both goals, and he was arguably the biggest contributor to the Red Rebels' victory.
Ferguson's face was helpless, he already knew the result of the game when Srna put the tackle behind his back, regardless of Michael? With or without Johnson's free-kick, the Red Rebels can walk away with a victory.
Sometimes, a football game can be unpredictable!
