90 Defensive Counterattack
"The referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half and we can see that there were no substitutions on either side of the game, and they both continued to use the line-up from the first half, but there were some changes in the specific tactics."
'In the second half, it was the new Manchester United who kicked off first, Juninho Jr. took the ball, he crossed to his team-mate Paulsen, who passed to Essien, and immediately passed back to Juninho Jr. in the face of two Kidderminster defenders.
"We can see that Kidderminst has obviously strengthened the defense in midfield, and the opponent's No.6 midfielder is following Juninho Jr. step by step, and obviously they can also see that the new Manchester United want Juninho Jr. to be the main point of attack."
"Olic retreated to get the ball and wanted to pass to Kic, but the opposing central defender grabbed the first point and cleared the ball with a header."
"Kidderminster counter-attacked, the ball quickly passed to the midfield, Paulsen fouled!"
"In the slow motion of the TV broadcast, we can see that Poulsen reached out from behind to hook the opponent when the opposition central midfielder got the ball.
……
As Bruce expected, Kidderminster fought back frantically at the start of the second half, attacking the new Manchester United position, but the new United were clearly prepared for it.
With Essien and Paulson's double back, although the defense of the high ball is somewhat lacking, it is difficult for the ground ball to pass through their defensive area, especially Essien and Paulson have always implemented Bruce's tactics, once they encounter the ball that is difficult to grab, they decisively choose to foul.
What is Choosing a Last Name?
That is, in a place where there is not much threat to the goal, decisively foul the foot, so that even if a free kick is awarded, there is no need to worry that the opponent will threaten the goal.
It is precisely because of the tactics of the new Manchester United that Kidminster has not been able to play at all many times, and has been intercepted or fouled just past the midfield every time.
For this, Paulsen also received a yellow card.
…………
…………
"The opponent's No. 19 back kick is very dirty, the referee doesn't have a good impression of him, this is good, let them attack the middle more, if possible, get that No. 19 down, even if it doesn't work, he will definitely not dare to fight as hard as in the first half!" The Kidminster head coach immediately laughed on the sidelines when he saw the referee showing Paulsen a yellow card.
For a defender, getting a yellow card is like being put under a tight spell.
The manager's message soon reached the pitch and the Kidderminski players immediately understood it, and they then stepped up their attack on the new Manchester United down the middle.
The number six took the ball and passed it to the central midfielder, who dribbled into the new United half and found the area where Paulsen was defending.
Paulsen was firmly in his defensive position, and he also knew that he had received a yellow card, so he was a little careful and just used his body to resist the opponent, but the opponent was very careful with the ball, causing him to be slow to put his feet down.
The centre-back suddenly crossed to a team-mate next to him, then rounded Paulsen and headed for the defence, and his team-mate quickly passed back to him for a beautiful one-two.
Paulsen followed the opponent closely and wanted to squeeze him with his body, but he didn't expect that the opponent's physical fitness was not weak, and he was able to resist Paulson's confrontation while running at high speed.
The Kidminster's striker is already in the same position as Abidal and Distin, and it is clear that as soon as the central midfielder finds an opportunity, he will immediately go straight to the goal, and it is likely to form a straight one-on-one.
What to do? Paulson hesitated.
If it was in normal times, he would have been very decisive, but now he has a yellow card, and if this tackle goes down and he fouls, it is likely that two yellow cards will become a red card and be sent off.
But if you don't stop it quickly, the other party will enter the danger zone.
Kidminster's central midfielder had clearly anticipated Paulson's embarrassment, and with a smile on his lips, he felt like he was playing with the opponent's stupid midfielder.
But at this moment, he sensed as if a black lightning bolt was passing in front of him, and then the whole person was knocked into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Essien got up from the ground, took the lead to protect the ball, and then looked at the referee.
"No foul, Michael Essien, a very nice and decisive sliding tackle!" Scarlett, who was live streaming, exclaimed.
On the field, Essien saw that the referee did not blow it, and immediately rushed forward with the ball.
"Michael, this way!"
Patrice Evra, who had been dormant on the left flank, also seized this rare opportunity to venture forward, and he ran even faster than Essien!
Essien immediately passed the ball to Evra, who overtook him, who kicked it hard and then accelerated to catch up.
As it was a counter-attack, the opposing defenders simply did not have time to return to the defense, and Patrice Evra faced the opposition right wing-back directly and passed to Juninho Jr. in the middle, who immediately knocked back and returned a tooth for a tooth to form a beautiful one-two.
Patrice Evra continued to dribble the ball down, and the fastest Olic and Hleb in front of them also ran forward desperately, and the front court suddenly became a three-on-two.
Faced with such a favorable situation, Patrice Evra cut inside decisively, and Olic immediately pulled to the left, attracting the attention of one of the opposing defenders.
Patrice Evra continued to cut in, and Kidminster's returning left wing-back hesitated, not knowing whether to get up or not.
But at this moment, Evra crossed diagonally behind him, and the teenager Hleb arrived with a horse, directly faced the goalkeeper, and smashed the ball into the far corner!
“0:2! In the 57th minute of the second half, the new Manchester United used a sharp and quick counterattack to tear through the defense of Kidderminster again, and the Belarusian teenager Hleb scored another goal for the team! ”
"From the slow-motion replay, we can see that the opponent's speed of marking the central defender of Kic is too slow, and the lack of timely defense has led to the new Manchester United easily forming a three-on-two in the frontcourt, and the performance of the new Manchester United's French youngster Patrice Evra is equally wonderful, he ran all the way with the ball and finally assisted his teammates to score."
"If the second goal of the new Manchester United, Hleb finally faced the goalkeeper and calmly pushed the far corner was the final word, then Evra ran dozens of meters from the back to the opponent's penalty area, and was the biggest contributor to this goal, the speed of the French teenager is too fast!"
Xiao Yu sat in the stands, and when Hleb scored, he didn't stand up with excitement like the fans, and cheered loudly, he just clenched his hands and held them tightly with all his might.
He noticed that Olic was the first to run over to celebrate with Hleb who had scored the goal, as well as Patrice Evra and the new Manchester United players who followed.
Although Scarlett didn't mention Olic in the TV broadcast just now, Xiao Yu knew very well that if he hadn't leaned to the left smartly at that time and attracted a defender from the opponent, I am afraid that it is still unknown whether he can complete the three-on-two this time.
But it's no wonder that once a goal is scored, everyone is just staring at the player who scores and assists, and few pay attention to the player in the corner who is silently running for his teammates and sharing the defensive pressure.
Far away at the back of the new Manchester United, when he saw Hleb score, Paulsen took the initiative to walk towards Essien and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, Michael!" Paulson was clearly referring to Essien's sliding tackle.
"Don't be stupid, I'm just doing what the manager has set me to do, and I want to thank you!" Essien said with a smile.
Essien would not have been able to play so well without Paulsen by his side, and it was precisely because of Paulson's presence that Essien was able to run wildly without worrying about the backline.
Paulson smiled and patted the black kid younger than himself, and ran back to his defensive position.
Defending is always a team affair, not a one-person job!
Bruce, who was standing on the sidelines, saw the celebration of the players on the field and laughed with empathy.
"Jim, we've won this game!" Bruce said confidently!
Cassel nodded in agreement.
Kidminster did their best to attack the new United for more than ten minutes, but failed to score a goal, instead the new United counter-attacked and scored a goal, such a defeat will certainly affect the players on the pitch and even the manager of the team.
…………
…………
As if to confirm Bruce and Cassel's speculation, after Kidderminster restarted, he suddenly lost the momentum of the onslaught just now, but the new Manchester United began to counterattack, launching a fierce attack on Kidminster's defense one after another.
The Kidminster boss also seemed to see the situation bad, but also knew that it would be difficult to salvage the situation, so he had no choice but to make two substitutions, replacing a central midfielder with a central defender and a full-back with a midfielder.
Seeing this substitution, anyone knows that Kidminster has given up on this game, and the only hope is not to turn into a rout.
After the substitutions, the players on the field began to revert to their own half of the defense, but in this case, even the defense became so weak.
In the 82nd minute, after a round of fierce attacks, Hleb was fouled on the opponent's right side, and New Manchester United won an indirect free kick in front.
Juninho Jr. once again stood in front of the penalty spot, and tall men such as Abidal, Distin, Stanson, and Kicic all squeezed into the opponent's penalty area, putting a lot of pressure on the opponent's defense.
Juninho Jr. took a few steps and fired a high kick as if he was going straight to the back post, finding Distin and Abidal, and immediately drawing the attention of the opposing defenders and goalkeepers.
Who knows, the ball suddenly fell rapidly in mid-air, and the unmarked Kicic was a little caught off guard, didn't even react much, didn't jump up, could only instinctively stretch his head a little, the ball hit his head, turned a corner and flew into the goal.
0:3, new Manchester United scored another goal!
The crowd erupted in the loudest cheers ever, while the Kidderminster fans in the other stands had even left the stadium early, apparently protesting the team's heavy defeat in the matchup.
And in countless places in Manchester, there was a burst of cheers in unison, and it must be all new Manchester United fans!
