121 potential

Absolutely, it's a word that should never be on the football field!

Because on the football field, nothing absolute ever happens!

Theoretically speaking, the new Manchester United this season is not outstanding, the first 36 rounds of the league, the new Manchester United 23 wins, 7 draws, 6 losses, 76 points, scored 89 goals and conceded 28 goals, the offensive ability ranks first in the national league, the number of goals conceded is the least among the 22 teams in the national league.

The sharpest spear and the most solid shield are the most common phrases used by the outside world to describe the new Manchester United lineup, and they also affirmed Bruce's ability to adjust the team, because under his coaching, the new Manchester United defense is very solid, and the team plays very well.

If nothing else, in the face of the 10 games in the top six of the league this season, the new United have won seven of their eight games, with one draw, apart from the away game against Morecambe and the home game against Duver.

It can be said that the new Manchester United won the absolute victory in the hard-fought game, and his top position was won by strength.

Patrice Evra, Abidal, Distin, Garay Turner, Stinsson or Kevin Evan are the basis of the new United's success, and are also crowned as the strongest defence in the national league, having never scored more than two goals in a 90-minute game in the previous 36 games.

But who would have thought that in this away game against Morecambe, in just 10 minutes, Morecambe knocked on the door of the new Manchester United with two attacks on the left side!

Xiao Yu sat in the stands, he looked at the scoreboard on the sidelines in shock, and then looked back at Bruce, who was also shocked, and he was worried.

In this game, the new Manchester United still adopted a steady style of play, with Kic as a single striker, Novic and Hleb as two wing-backs, Juninho Jr. as a central midfielder, Essien and Paulsen as a double midfielder, Evra, Abidal, Distin and Stansson at the back, and Schmeichel as goalkeeper.

This is arguably the most consistent and excellent squad for the new United so far, but the head coach of the Morecambe team obviously had already guessed that the new United would play such a card, so they specially deployed a fast left wing-back in their starting line-up.

From the start, Morecambe put on a strong pitch to play down the left and centre of the new United, with the aim of putting pressure on Essien and Paulsen to open up space on the right and give their No.7 left midfielder a chance to face Stansson directly.

Stansson is a tall and muscular man with excellent headers, markers and positional sense, but as a full-back, his speed is his biggest flaw, especially against smaller players who are incredibly fast.

According to Bruce's tactics, in response to Stansson's shortcomings, Essien and Paulsen should send one of them to help defend and help Stansson's defense, and the other right-sided central defender Distin should also help him, but Morecambe cleverly attacked the middle first, attracting the attention of the new Manchester United players, and then suddenly moved to the left to hit the right side of the new Manchester United.

In just ten minutes, the new Manchester United were scored twice by Morecambe, and everyone watched in amazement as the opposing player picked up the ball from the net, and then ran all the way to the center circle, passing by the new Manchester United player with a very nasty smile on his face.

Bruce waved his hand angrily, if he was in the dugout, he might have removed the roof of the dugout.

It was indeed his mistake, as he ultimately underestimated the difficulty of the game, especially the onslaught of Morecambe's opening kick-off, and he thought his team would be able to hold up, but in fact, he miscalculated.

…………

"Eric!" Schmeichel, who was wearing the captain's armband, left the goal and ran to Abidal nearby, who looked like a walking corpse, grabbed his head and stared at him with a pair of glasses, as if to convey his belief.

"Is it stupid?" Schmeichel slapped Abidal on the cheek hard, making him feel pain, "The game is not over yet, little bastard, don't be careless, you didn't stand well in the second goal!" ”

Abidal struggled to break free of Schmeichel, and looked at the rather dignified captain with some annoyance, who immediately smiled defiantly: "Yes, Eric, it's this kind of look, don't fucking act like the game is over!" ”

With that, Schmeichel ran back to the goal and slapped his goalkeeper's gloves on his hands.

"Guys, it's only been ten minutes and we've got eighty minutes to get back to the score, don't worry, we can win!" Schmeichel roared loudly.

However, it can be seen that the reaction of the players to this is not very strong.

Whether it is this season or last season, the new Manchester United has never suffered such a blow, even scored two goals in the first ten minutes, and the scene was completely suppressed, especially in a key game like today, which determines who belongs to the champion, which is a very big blow to the players on the field, and the ability to withstand pressure will collapse if it is a little weaker.

Bruce on the sidelines kept cheering for the players on the sidelines, constantly signaling the team to stabilize the rhythm after kick-off, especially Juninho Jr., who must not be anxious.

As the second most senior player in the team after Schmeichel, Juninho's psychological quality is undoubtedly stronger than others, so after the restart, he does consciously want to stabilize the rhythm of the game, because he knows that the team is strong, but the players are very young, and it is inevitable that they are a little uncomfortable with this kind of scene, as long as they slow down for a while.

However, the manager of Morecambe is not a good stubble, he obviously saw through the new Manchester United's calculations, so after the restart, the opponent's two backs pressed forward, pressing Juninho Jr., not giving him the ball and dribbling easily.

Juninho Jr. had no choice but to pass the ball to his teammate next to him immediately.

That's the kind of opportunity that Morecambe was waiting for!

Due to Morecambe's full-court pressing tactics, no matter where the ball goes, at least one or two players will immediately surround it, and then the new United players can only rush forward with their big feet.

In the case that Kic was focused on by the opponent and failed to keep up with the second wave of offense, the result of the long pass was to make the new Manchester United quickly lose possession of the ball, quickly change from the offensive side to the defensive side, and become passive.

"Christian, you just passed the ball too fast, you should think about your teammates next to you!" Bruce shouted a lecture to Paulson from the sidelines.

The latter nodded to Bruce with some weakness, and then ran back to his place with his head down.

"It's not going to be good, Steve!" Cassel stepped out of the dugout and stood beside Bruce as he spoke.

Bruce also saw that "the physical recovery is not ideal, coupled with the pressure of playing away, especially this game, they are still young and a little unbearable!" ”

While saying this, Bruce was also complaining that he did not do enough preparation before the game, at least he did not grasp the psychology of the players well, coupled with the restraint of tactics, which made the game passive from the beginning.

But how can we turn the tide of the situation?

Bruce has a bit of a headache!

…………

…………

Xiao Yu also had a headache in the stands, he felt that there were too many problems exposed in this game, especially in terms of the psychological quality of the players, and the new Manchester United really did not deal with it enough.

The other thing is that the momentum of the new Manchester United has been completely suppressed.

Don't underestimate this momentum, on the basketball court, the role of potential is very crucial, so in the live broadcast of NBA games, you can often see commentators saying that they played a few to a few **, relying on a momentum.

The new Manchester United have long had a momentum of arrogance, and with this momentum, they can even beat Arsenal, they can achieve reversal and win in tough battles again and again, but once the momentum is suppressed, the new United are like a disarmed soldier, standing in a hail of bullets waiting to be shot.

Morecambe's manager is smart and sharp, and he knows that his team may not be able to overwhelm the new Manchester United, so he relied on the home advantage at the beginning, used the fans to put pressure on the visiting team, and then attacked the weakness of the new Manchester United at the beginning to prevent the new Manchester United from relieving himself.

Stanson's slow turn is a loophole, which is a fact, and it also indirectly caused the right side of the new Manchester United to be completely suppressed, and as a whole, the new Manchester United was also dragged into the rhythm of Morecambe, and was pulled by the nose of the opponent.

"I believe that the players on the field should be very depressed now, but they can't exert their strength!" Xiao Yu muttered with a headache.

"What then? Xiao Yu, you have to think of a way! Jim, the taxi driver sitting next to Xiao Yu, made a special trip to follow the team to the away stadium this time, the purpose of which was to witness the new Manchester United beat Morecambe.

Everyone is convinced that a win over Morecambe will see the new Manchester United champion this season's national league.

"I'm not a manager, Jim!" Xiao Yu replied with a wry smile, and he looked at Bruce in the coach's seat, who was obviously still thinking about countermeasures.

"I've worked hard for a season, and I can't afford to lose in this game! New Manchester United, come on! Jim yelled at the court.

Xiao Yu is also very aware of the importance of this game, and he is convinced that the players on the pitch also know it, but the key is how to resolve the pressure that Morecambe is currently exerting on the new Manchester United.

If you want to turn defeat into victory, you must first pull the new United out of the cage set up by Morecambe and let the team return to their familiar rhythm to play.

Xiao Yu is convinced that if the real knife is played, the new Manchester United has a better chance of winning!

Even if it is two goals behind, there is still a lot of hope of turning defeat into victory, after all, the new Manchester United has almost reversed Arsenal on the road, but only reversed Morecambe by two goals, which is not impossible at all!

But how do you make the players on the pitch aware of this?

Xiao Yu looked at Jim, who was still yelling beside him, and immediately had an idea in his heart!
