The starting lineup arranged by the new Manchester United in this game played the 433 tactic, which is also the best tactic used by Mourinho after taking charge of the new Manchester United, although it occasionally becomes 442, but it is more like 4231.

Of course, according to the current tactical system of the new Manchester United, the formation is no longer important.

The starting striker in this warm-up match is Drogba, the Ivory Coast striker is Mourinho's preferred type, not good at shooting, but he is very physical, strong against the surname, and has a good kick technique, acting as a fulcrum in the front court, can create and seize opportunities by himself, and can also play for his teammates.

As for Crouch, he did not come to Ghana with the team, the new Manchester United is currently negotiating with Portsmouth, and there is still a gap in the price between the two sides, but I believe that a consensus will be reached, after all, Crouch himself wants to leave, and the new Manchester United does not want to stay, it's that simple!

The two wingers are Malouda and Hleb, the former is hardworking on the pitch despite his speed and technique, and he is also very consistent in his play, while Wright Phillips is easily affected by emotions and has a lot of ups and downs in form.

Hleb has been the most consistent player in the past two seasons for the new United, having firmly occupied the right winger position since Darren Lyons retired, and no one has been able to shake his core position at the moment, including the future sensation Frank Ribery.

The three central midfielders are Juninho Jr., Essien and Senna, the two Brazilians are more forward, and Essien falls to the midfield position alone, which is obviously Mourinho in order to maximize Juninho Jr. and Senna's attacking ability.

Essien also has a certain amount of attacking power, but compared with Xiao Yu's previous life, who was able to attack and defend well, if he wants to play the main force now, it is best to practice his defensive skills first, especially lateral interception and tackles, his physical fitness is very good, but there are too many unnecessary running, resulting in poor interception efficiency.

Moniz has clearly reminded Essien that there is still a lot of room for improvement in his defense, of course, Essien's strong vertical penetration, coupled with his excellent physical fitness, allows him to recover after attacking, but as the team is still in the run-in stage, Mourinho has arranged more defensive tasks for him.

The back four from left to right, Abidal, John Terry, Curtis and Bosingwa, were the main line-up of the new United last season, and all of them were retained by the new United this season, while the goalkeeper is still Almunia.

All of the new Manchester United first-team players have arrived in Ghana this time, so the bench is full of 11 players, but it is not known who Mourinho will replace.

Xiao Yu sat in the stands and watched the game with Ghanaian President Kufuor, who was following the players of the new Manchester United as well as the freelance Toure brothers.

As it was the first pre-season game, it was clear that the new United were not yet in the game, and the players were not excited enough on the pitch, especially the players did not respond well enough to each other's movements, resulting in a lot of mistakes.

But even so, the new United still won 2-0 against the freelancers thanks to direct free-kicks from Hleb and Juninho Jr.

Judging from the score alone, the new Manchester United seems to have the advantage, but in fact, it is because the new Manchester United has a higher tactical literacy, and the freelance players play more scattered, which leads to the new Manchester United being able to grasp the situation.

Especially in the second half, when the new Manchester United replaced a large number of substitutes, the freelancers even caused a lot of trouble for the new Manchester United for a while, especially Yaya Toure, who played in the middle of the midfield, performed very eye-catching, obviously wanting to show his ability in Mourinho's current situation, arousing Mourinho's idea.

Yaya Toure's brother Kolo Toure was very solid in this game, he played as a right wing-back, responsible for marking Malouda on the left side of the new Manchester United United side, but he did his job well throughout the game, Malouda almost did not take advantage of him in the confrontation, and the team's two goals conceded had little to do with him.

However, Chloe Toure stepped in from the back in the second half, and the combination with his younger brother Yaya Toure was very surprising, but Yaya Toure's long-range shot was missed.

"It seems that they may not be able to stay in Ghana any longer!" Xiao Yu stepped aside and communicated with Mark Davy.

The latter naturally knew who Xiao Yu was talking about, and couldn't help but nodded, with the current strength of the Toure brothers, if they continue to stay in Ghana, I am afraid that sooner or later they will be discovered by European teams, especially today, when the new Manchester United makes this charity match so popular.

You must know that this charity match is not only concerned by the African region, but also by major newspapers and media organizations in Europe, after all, so many people died in the Ghana stadium before, which caused a great sensation, which indirectly caused this charity match to also attract attention.

This can be seen by looking at the number of reporters and media who came to the scene.

"What are you going to do with it?" Mark David asked with concern, he knew that Xiao Yu should have a solution.

Xiao Yu thought for a while, "Let people contact Belgium to see if there is any club interested in bringing in a midfielder, loaning Yaya Toure to play in Belgium for three years, if you can't join the national team by then, at least you can get Belgian nationality, and then you can take it back to play for our team." ”

In later generations, Manchester United and Chelsea both had a satellite club in Belgium, which was arranged for those players who could not apply for labor certification for the time being, so when Xiao Yu played the FM football manager game in his previous life, he always liked to call this kind of Belgian satellite club a labor certification satellite.

Mark David nodded and agreed, with the current influence of the new Manchester United, it is unrealistic to sign a Belgian club satellite, unless it is smashed with money, but Xiao Yu is not willing to do that, it will give people the impression of an upstart.

However, the new Manchester United can do it by loaning Yaya Toure to Belgium, because the new Manchester United's scouting network in Europe has been rolled out and there are many contacts between clubs, so it will not be too difficult to introduce Yaya Toure to Belgium.

"But we must ensure that he can play the ball, it doesn't matter if it's a match or a match, the important thing is to have a game to practice, that's worthwhile!" Xiao Yu further reminded.

Mark David smiled and agreed, he is not the kind of person who knows nothing about football, he naturally knows the importance of game training for an 18-year-old young player, he will not make such a mistake, and he can also see that Xiao Yu attaches great importance to these two brothers.

…………

After the first game, Xiao Yu went to the parking lot outside the locker room of the freelance club, intending to wait for the players to come out and meet them, accompanied by Melo and David.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they saw that on the other side of the dressing room passage, Mourinho stopped the head coach of the liberal club and talked with him over there, the two sides talked and laughed, and then he also specially met with the Toure brothers, and felt as if he admired them.

"Looks like we can't keep them!" Mellot joked.

Xiao Yu patted him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter if you can't keep people, Africa will be a blowout of football talents in the next few years, this is also the purpose of my acquisition of freelancers, I also plan to build a football school in Africa, and then you don't have to worry about the talent pool at all." ”

"You don't have to!" Melo said with a smile.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and he walked forward.

"Hey, Jose, I was looking for you!" Xiao Yu stopped Mourinho.

"Oh, just right, I'm looking for you too!" Jose Mourinho also looks in a hurry.

Xiao Yu stood there for a long time, as if waiting for Mourinho to speak first.

Mourinho, who was already going to talk about it, looked at Melo next to him, and suddenly laughed and asked: "The right wing-back you told me shouldn't be Kolo Toure, right?" ”

Xiao Yu spread his hands, "Otherwise, who else do you think?" ”

Mourinho smiled and shook his head, "I was about to talk to you about this, I just understood, he has played enough times for the national team, and he can apply for a labor certification, I originally thought I found him, it turns out that he was booked by you!" ”

"Yes, after Chloe Toure came to the liberal club, he performed very well in the right wing-back position, and I thought that Mr. Xiao Yu was acting casually, but who knows, he not only loaned the Toure brothers, but also often sent people over to check their physical condition and make some training suggestions." Melo explained the origin of the Toure brothers.

"So, they're new Manchester United players?" Mourinho felt a headache, his head coach didn't know that his club had signed such two players, it was really unsatisfactory.

"Of course, Jose, it's just that we couldn't reuse them before because of the labor certification, and now Kolo Toure has reached the number of national team appearances, but Yaya Toure is not yet, I plan to wait for this tournament to play on loan to a Belgian club, hoping that he can be selected for the national team as soon as possible." Xiao Yu said with regret.

Yaya Toure's strength is also very strong, he can be the main defender of Barcelona's treble, his potential is undoubted, and now he has a good strength, I believe that after the hype of this charity match, he will transfer to Belgium to play, and I believe that it is a matter of time before he is selected for the national team.

'What do you think of the right wing-back I signed you?' Xiao Yu asked Mourinho with a smile.

"What more could I ask for?" Mourinho asked with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

The group walked outside the pitch as they spoke, and in the distance behind them, the Toure brothers were still communicating with the manager, apparently unaware that their fortunes had changed dramatically after the game.

For these African teenagers from poor families, leaving Africa and joining the Europa League was an incredible turning point, they could earn more money, they could support themselves and their families, they could have a big future, and it was almost paradise there.

But Xiao Yu knows that heaven may not be perfect, and people who live in heaven may not be carefree, professional football is cruel, and how far they can go on this road depends on their own creation and hard work!
