In the home team dressing room at Sotgate Stadium in Chesterfield, Chesterfield's starters all looked intently at the tactics board in front of them, on which the tactics of the new Manchester United 433 were drawn, each circle represented a person, there was a number on it, and the names of the players were specially annotated outside.

"The new Manchester United are a promoted team, although they have only been established for two years, they have achieved quite a lot of results, and entering the League C shows that they have a certain quality, and their performance in the national league last season was even more impressive, but this season since the departure of the main scorer Kic, the team's attacking ability has plummeted."

Chesterfield's young manager, a former centre-back who was hired as head coach after retiring as a player, has been in charge for two years and is aiming for promotion this year.

"Their head coach is from Barcelona, he is the assistant of the current Dutch manager Van Gaal, but he doesn't know England at all, he thinks that Barcelona's system can be used when he moves to England, but in fact, he is wrong, he is difficult to keep his position at the moment, the team should be very desperate to get a win, we can't let them do it!"

"The biggest threat to the new Manchester United is their Brazilian midfielder, he is the point of the new Manchester United, if you look at him, the new Manchester United attack will not be able to play, and the other is their center forward, without him, then the new Manchester United is equivalent to a toothless tiger, no, a sick cat."

When the players in the locker room heard this, they all burst into laughter, and they seemed very relaxed about this game.

'Our attack is mainly on the left, the right side of the new Manchester United is a big problem and we are happy to help them, from the moment the whistle blows, we grab their right side and don't give them a breather unless we score enough goals to secure a win!"

"As long as we play as usual, we will be the first to score, and we will definitely be the one who wins this game!"

The Chesterfield players looked confident, loudly echoed the manager's oath, and got up from their seats!

…

…………

Ten minutes later, the Chesterfield manager looked in disbelief at the scoreboard on the sidelines, which was on the right, the zero representing the visiting team was turning into a one, which meant that the new Manchester United were taking the lead.

The drums of the fans in the stands were deafening, especially their high-pitched singing, singing the anthem of the new United and applauding Kitson who scored for the first time in the game.

It was a very clear and concise goal, but it was a goal that no one expected.

Paulsen broke the ball in midfield and passed it to Kitson, who used his body to lean on the opposing defender, and passed back to Juninho Jr., who was inserted in the back row, who passed to Malouda on the left, who passed into the box, and Kitson headed the ball into the net.

It was so fast that the Chesterfield defence could barely react, and by the time their centre-backs turned to chase Kitson, they had pulled away and could only watch him head home.

What's going on? Chesterfield's head coach looked in disbelief at Jose Mourinho, the new Manchester United manager, who was also on the sidelines of the pitch, both of whom were about the same age.

Did he see through our plans?

The Chesterfield manager was unconvinced, and he still let his players on the pitch focus on attacking the right side of the new Manchester United, and he was sure that the Portuguese named Bosingwa did not defend very well, at least much worse than the Frenchman Abidal on the left, and that he had a better chance of winning on his side, while still being able to stifle the new Manchester United attack.

However, by the time his players entered the new United half, he immediately found that Hleb had returned as a winger and two right-sided midfielders had also passed Poulsen, who had caught Chesterfield's left midfielder.

He wanted to pass the ball to the middle, but the pass was misrepresented by the interference of Poulsen and Hleb, and Arau Diarra, who had caught up from behind, played the ball to Juninho Jr. in front, who stopped the ball and did not adjust and passed directly to the right wing.

Hleb, who had just returned to the defense, had rushed up at great speed at this time, grabbed the ball before Chesterfield's left wing-back, made a big move, and then accelerated to catch up, and passed into the box near the corner of the penalty area.

Kitson was interfered with by at least two opposing players in the box and couldn't get the ball at all.

Chesterfield's centre-back cleared the ball with a header, but the ball didn't fly far, and Juninho, who was inserted in the back row, stopped the ball on his chest, and saw the opponent's back immediately sticking up and flicking the ball horizontally, and the following Paulsen was a heavy shot.

I have to say that Paulson's shot was really miserable, and his kick went straight to the stands, which made him feel very ashamed.

"Out of position!" Paulsen ran back to his own half and explained to Juninho Jr. next to him.

The latter smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Then next time adjust it first and then fight!" ”

However, although it became an anti-aircraft gun, Paulson's shot still made the coach of Chesterfield on the sidelines break out in a cold sweat, and his heart almost jumped out just now, and the long-range goal rate in that position was very high.

Is there something wrong with our own defense?

Because this game is mainly about attacking, so Chesterfield used a midfielder, just now when Paulson hit the goal, the back was pinned down by Juninho Jr., and the two central defenders were looking at Kitson, plus Paulson's insertion was very sudden, there was no warning before, so it was too late for Chesterfield's frontcourt players to return to defense.

It was premeditated!

No matter how stupid Chesterfield's manager is, he can see that this is the attacking routine of the new Manchester United.

From the very beginning of the game, he noticed that the new Manchester United style of play was completely different from what was reported in the video highlights and in the newspapers, they played very quickly, whether it was the passing of the players or the overall progress and recovery of the team, it seemed very quick and orderly.

When it came to attacking, the new United's Kitson didn't go up front like he used to, but dropped back and cut forward, and the two wing-backs were quick to advance, and their attacks always started from the wings, or crossed down or cut inside.

In addition, unlike the previous Juninho Jr., the position of their three central midfielders today is a parallel position, whether it is Paulsen or Arau Diarra, they are frequently forward, but what remains unchanged is that after any two people step forward, the third person will definitely stay, and one of the two who is in front of him must be able to ensure that once the opponent breaks the ball and counterattacks, he can return to his position at the first time.

As a result, both of the new Manchester United's full-backs began to enter the opposition half frequently, without worrying about the opposition counter-attack.

Seeing this, it made the coach of Chesterfield feel weak, he didn't even know how to restrain the opponent's tactics, especially when he saw that the new Manchester United players were playing more and more flexibly on the field, cooperating with the passing and receiving the ball was getting smoother and smoother, and the offensive and defensive speed was getting faster and faster, and the Chesterfield players were completely pulled by the nose, he was helpless!

Like the manager, Chesterfield's players were also stunned by the new Manchester United tactics, especially when the opponent suddenly picked up or suddenly slowed down the tempo, they had to follow each other, which led to them being very passive on the pitch and being conceded three goals in the last 20 minutes of the first half.

In the 28th, 34th and 41st minutes respectively, the new Manchester United scored a goal from Kitson, Juninho Jr. and Hleb to help the team temporarily lead Chesterfield 0-4.

At half-time, the Chesterfield players walked off the pitch one by one looking exhausted, but the new Manchester United players looked like they had been injected with doping.

…………

…………

The visiting dressing room at half-time was not as elated as the outside world had speculated, nor was there the excitement of the fans in the stands, and the players were criticized by Mourinho one by one.

'If it wasn't for our own problems, we could have scored 10 goals in the first half, yes, 10 goals, and if it wasn't for the poor ability of the opposition to take their chances, they would have scored at least two goals for us because they had three chances in the box.

Mourinho's words made the players who were still elated just now bow their heads one by one, not daring to look at him.

"I told you before the game that when you defend, you have to keep the distance between the wingers and the full-backs about 25 metres, and the midfielders should pay attention to the help of the defense and help the two wings control this area, so that we can squeeze the opponent's space on the ball as much as possible and not let them easily enter the 32-metre area of our goal, but how did you do it?"

Several players snorted, as if trying to justify something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

"Don't tell me you're not familiar with this tactic, we've been practicing for a week!" Jose Mourinho sees this one detail.

After saying that, Mourinho turned to look at Juninho Jr., "Ribeiro, when you are on the field, you should be more flexible in your running, between the center, winger and midfielder, you can run freely, everyone else is with you, you have to run more actively, and pay attention to the timing when passing the ball to teammates." ”

After speaking, Mourinho drew some graphics on the tactical board, "Whether it is Kitson, Malouda or Hleb, facing the opposing defender alone, you can pass at this time, because as long as you pass it, it is an opportunity, but if the opponent's back or other defenders are there, then you have to give up, don't pass, because I never think that no matter how good a player's skills are, he can single-handedly play against two or even three fierce defenders in that small space, of course, Unless you think your teammate is Ronaldo! ”

Mourinho's words immediately relaxed the tension in the dressing room.

After spending time together, the players have found that Mourinho doesn't speak as loudly as Bruce, but he puts more pressure on him than Bruce, because he always has a way of pointing out your mistakes and shortcomings.

He's a very special manager.

"Guys, we have two draws and two losses in the first four rounds of the league, we fell into the relegation zone, people outside have lashed out at us, questioning our ability, I've had enough, so I'm going to fight back, I'm sure you're fed up too, holding your breath, so this game, I hope to be able to get the coveted three points, we can also win beautifully, win heartily, it's best to use a game, completely plug the mouths of those doubters, and then slap them hard!"

When the players heard this, they immediately agreed with a surge!

In fact, they did!
