Chapter 137 433 doesn’t work!
At this time, Montella on the sidelines spat in frustration.
Since Emery stepped down as Sevilla head coach, neither Sampaoli nor Beriso has coached for more than half a year.
He also started coaching Sevilla at the end of December, but his performance in the league was disappointing and the Sevilla management was already dissatisfied with him.
If I can't make up for it in the Champions League, I will probably follow in the footsteps of those two.
"Manchester United only has one defensive midfielder, so they concentrate all the players in the middle and use their numerical advantage to force the ball forward!"
"And that Manchester United No. 7 player, let Banega and Navas learn a lesson, don't rush so fiercely, keep a certain distance!"
Montella called Escudero over.
Mourinho next door did not celebrate the goal, but frowned, as if thinking about something.
Soon the game resumed.
Sevilla players have good execution.
The wingers retreated to the midfield, the wide midfielders moved inwards to the middle, and the full-backs quickly moved forward.
The overall formation pressed forward madly.
Like a spike piercing Matic! That's right.
They want to seize the weakest point of the 4-3-3 formation and attack fiercely.
McTominay went forward to assist in defense without waiting for Chu Feng to retreat to make up the position, resulting in a huge gap on the left side of Manchester United.
Who knew that Sevilla was just feinting before and decisively changed the direction of attack at this time.
N'Zonqi passed the ball to the wing with the outside of his foot.
Bang! The ball slipped through the gap and landed at the feet of Navas, who ran along the sideline with the ball.
The Pizjuan Stadium suddenly erupted in loud cheers.
Salivia and Correa run straight into the penalty area, into the space between the full-back and the center-back.
Manchester United's two full-backs, Ashley Young and Valencia, both started out as wingers.
Therefore, the team's offense was greater than its defense, and they were unfamiliar with the 4-3-3 formation. Most of their attention was attracted by Sevilla's two wingers, so they made a wrong judgment.
"Navas made a low cross!!!"
"Muriel followed up with a sliding shot, beautiful! The ball goes in!"
"Sevilla equalised 12 minutes after conceding."
"Their tactics were very targeted. They continuously changed the direction of attack, which stretched Manchester United's defensive focus and finally opened up space for advancement on the left side."
"It has to be said that Montella's ability to adjust on the spot has greatly improved after his experience in Florence, Sampdoria and AC Milan."
After scoring the goal, Muriel ran to the home stands and enjoyed the cheers of Sevilla fans. Other Sevilla players also ran over to join in the celebration.
The combined voices of tens of thousands of people were so deafening that the eardrums of Manchester United players swelled slightly.
They didn't expect the opponent's offense to have so many changes. Smooth coordinated running cannot be practiced in a day or two. It looks like today's game will not be easy.
Montella on the sidelines looked towards the next door slightly provocatively. The season when he retired in Rome happened to witness Inter Milan's strong rise and winning the treble.
The coach of Inter Milan at that time was Mourinho.
But the madman was still very young at that time, but now he has a head full of white hair.
In fact, Montella really wanted to tell Mourinho, "You are old, the future belongs to us."
If he could win the game, maybe he would say this.
But Mourinho next door had no idea that Montella had so many inner thoughts.
Of course, if they knew, they probably wouldn't care, because Montella has only won one Italian Super Cup in his coaching career, and its value is not even as good as the Audi Cup.
He is now thinking about the correctness of the 4-3-3 formation?
Although it can create more vertical space for the wing, allowing Chu Feng to maximize his breakthrough ability.
But it also leads to weak defense on the same side.
McTominay cannot withstand the opponent's continuous attacks alone, and he may lose his position due to his poor sense of space.
Mourinho knew there was no time to experiment with the new formation, so he walked to the coaching area and made adjustments loudly.
The game resumed shortly afterwards.
"Hey, Lukaku is the lone striker, Matic and Pogba become double defensive midfielders, and McTominay is the attacking midfielder"
"Manchester United's formation has changed back to 4231."
"The two wingers retreated to establish the first line of defense, and at the same time, there was enough defensive density in the backcourt, which should have a very good effect."
"It seems that Mourinho has given up on 433!"
Just as Zhan Jun said, Manchester United gradually stabilized their defense.
Sevilla wanted to repeat the same trick, but Manchester United's double defensive midfielder combination was strong enough, and Ashley Young and Valencia could concentrate on defending the flanks, either interfering with or blocking the opponent's crosses.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Soon the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
After all the Manchester United players returned to the locker room, Mourinho admitted his mistake very straightforwardly, "I didn't think comprehensively enough before. It doesn't work to just use offense to suppress the opponent. This formation can't be used next time."
"So we still follow the previous tactics, 'from defensive midfielder to wing midfielder', with direct links quickly through the midfield and not wasting time in the backcourt."
"Chu, you need to use the width of the field to complete a 1vs1 breakthrough down the wing."
"Or Lukaku moves to the left wing and makes a small crossover with Chu, then makes a large transfer to Mata's side, and the midfielder quickly moves forward and shoots from a distance."
“.”
Chu Feng nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We already have an away goal. Even if we return to Old Trafford with a draw, we will still have the upper hand."
"Okay, guys, let's go!"
Mourinho urged, clapping his hands vigorously.
“Come on! Come on! Come on!”
The Manchester United players put their hands together, swung them downwards, and then walked out one after another.
After the second half of the game started.
Manchester United's offensive system had been honed over more than half a season and had already become very perfect, and they soon created an opportunity.
52nd minute of the game.
Pogba made a long pass to the left, Chu Feng and Navas had a fierce confrontation, and neither of them could grab the first point.
But Chu Feng's physical fitness was obviously stronger. He completed the second acceleration in the shortest time, and with a lead of one-third of a body length, he made a sudden push and rushed away with the ball.
Manchester United launched a violent offensive.
As arranged before the game, Lukaku moved to the left and passed the ball with his back, and Chu Feng passed it diagonally to the right without hesitation.
Accompanied by the sounds of "bang bang bang".
The football drew a continuous and uninterrupted zigzag line on the green field.
Mata received the ball and made a 45-degree cross.
Although McTominay's position is attacking midfielder, it is difficult for him to take on organizational work given his ability.
That's why Mourinho chose to quickly pass through the midfield and let Pogba complete the offensive plan, with the aim of avoiding McTominay.
