Chapter 27: Manchester United's draw, Chu Feng's chance
In the next few days, Chu Feng lived a routine life.
Although it seems very boring to others, he enjoys it.
Whenever you feel exhausted, just open the system and look at the ever-increasing attributes, and you will be immediately full of motivation again.
Due to limited training time every day, he can only focus on ball control and dribbling.
After all, the existence of system modules can greatly improve the training effect in this aspect.
As for long passes and opposite foot, no results will be seen in a short period of time, so we can only take it slow and steady.
When the results of the second round of the Premier League came out, people were once again shocked.
Arsenal lost 0-1 to Stoke City. It should be noted that the latter was only ranked 13th last season and its overall strength was not very strong, but it took the initiative on the field and played actively and passionately.
On the other hand, after Arsenal lost the ball two minutes into the second half, the entire team's defense became chaotic and the players' morale fell to the bottom.
Simply put, there is no blood, no tactics, and no toughness.
Wenger is once again caught up in the controversy of being sacked.
Not only are Sanchez and Chamberlain threatening to leave the team, but outside fans are also adding fuel to the fire. Perhaps leaving Arsenal is only a matter of time.
This game gave Mourinho a wake-up call. He had a different opinion from the outside world because Stoke City was really not weak.
Judging from the players in the team, Choupo-Moting, Hesse, Zouma, Shaqiri and others are all abandoned by top clubs.
The team formed by them reminds Mourinho of when he was coaching Inter Milan, he also led a group of abandoned disciples and overturned the European football scene.
In the third round of the Premier League, Manchester United will play against Stoke City away.
So he has to prepare in advance and try to leave with three points.
Another game that caught his attention was Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Everton.
The two took over the coaching duties of Manchester United and Manchester City respectively last season, and both chose to tear down and rebuild.
The final league results were three places apart.
Although there were factors such as injuries involved, a loss is a loss, and Mourinho never shys away from it.
Moreover, as Guardiola's former partner and opponent, he has no doubt about the other party's ability and level.
After a season of transformation, Manchester City has become the favorite to win the championship.
Mourinho is increasingly looking forward to the Manchester derby, wondering what the outcome will be this time.
He suddenly heard a "bang bang" sound, so he walked to the window and looked curiously at the training ground below.
Two people are practicing.
"In this situation, in addition to choosing to make a long diagonal pass from the wing, you can also control the ball to attract the opponent's attention and wait for your teammates to receive the ball, thus creating a local numerical advantage."
Carrick pointed a finger.
He has a strong ability to read the game, even better than Pogba, and can clearly describe the attacking routines on the wing.
Chu Feng nodded and kept it in mind.
No matter what you do, learning to use your brain can help you get twice the result with half the effort.
This is especially true in football.
If you only improve your skills while ignoring your football IQ, your future achievements will not be very high. Balotelli is a living example.
"By the way, don't be too rigid when attacking from the wing. You can frequently make vertical or horizontal runs to distract the opponent's defense."
“I don’t know much about the breakthrough aspect, it’s a pity that Ryan (Giggs) left.”
Carrick thought of his old partner. If he were still there, he would be able to provide a lot of help to Chu Feng.
The two chatted for a while and then left the training ground.
Mourinho returned to his seat and began to prepare the roster for the next game.
Rashford has started two games in a row and needs time to rest and recover.
But Chu Feng’s strength is not enough, so there is only one choice left.
This game is a good opportunity to test Martial's condition and give him another chance.
If you still can't grasp it, you can't blame others.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was August 27th.
Britannia Stadium on the River Trent.
The game has reached the 86th minute, Stoke City is 1-2 Manchester United and is temporarily behind.
But then.
Martial breaks through along the wing.
Zouma, the defensive giant who came to Stoke City from Chelsea, flew in and tackled, quickly and neatly taking the ball back.
Perhaps due to physical reasons, Martial only made a symbolic attempt to grab the ball after losing it.
Zouma easily adjusted his posture and made a straight pass that accurately found his teammates in the frontcourt.
Shaqiri turned around, shook off Damian and made a cross from the bottom.
The football passed all Manchester United defenders and fell to the back of the penalty area.
Choupo-Moting, who was unmarked, took advantage of the momentum and shot the ball into the goal, scoring his second goal and helping Stoke City equalize the score.
The Britannia Stadium was instantly boiling with excitement.
Stoke City fans cheered hysterically to celebrate this near-equalizing goal.
Not only did they end Manchester United's two-game winning streak, but they also set Manchester United's cross-season league record of not conceding a goal at 534 minutes forever.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It feels better than winning the game!
Mourinho's face was livid on the sidelines.
Anyone would be very angry if they maintained the advantage for the entire game but were equalized at the last minute.
Besides, this goal shouldn't have happened at all.
Martial only needs to counterattack in time after losing the ball, and Zouma cannot make such a high-quality pass.
As Zouma's former head coach, Mourinho can be sure of this.
If there are technical problems, they can be compensated through training.
But the attitude is not correct enough Whether it is last season or this season, Mourinho feels that he has given Martial enough opportunities.
But if others don’t cherish you, don’t blame yourself for being too cruel.
At the end of the game, the score on the field remained unchanged. Manchester United's first draw of the new season came unexpectedly.
On the bench.
The players felt the coldness emanating from Mourinho and dared not even breathe.
Chu Feng is no exception.
He secretly reminded himself that he must fight harder when the game is about to end.
Otherwise, a tiny mistake is likely to make all the efforts of the entire game go to waste.
No matter how outstanding your previous performance was, you will become the team's sinner.
But after Manchester United's draw, he should soon appear as a starter, and most likely in the next game.
Because the next half month is the international match day.
Players like Rashford, Lingard and Mkhitaryan will all return to their country to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.
Mourinho should rotate the players into substitutes considering their physical condition.
Then wouldn't it be just me and Martial who would be left on the left wing? By the way, Manchester United's next opponent is Leicester City.
That is the team that created miracles in the 15-16 season.
Although Kante left, the championship-winning team that year still included Vardy, Mahrez and others, and also introduced the powerful player Maguire.
Although the overall strength has declined, it still cannot be underestimated.
As long as he can seize this excellent opportunity and help Manchester United beat Leicester City, he will be able to take a big step towards becoming a regular starter.
While thinking, Chu Feng followed his teammates into the locker room.
The moment the door closes.
Chu Feng frowned and retreated without leaving a trace, protecting everyone in front of him.
