Chapter 33: Another assist, winning the first game.

"You played well in the first half, but there are a few points to note."

Mourinho first praised the players' performance, then pulled the tactical board in front of him and made adjustments to the second half of the game.

"First, when responding to the positional warfare, the overall coordination was insufficient, and the mutual cover and support were not good enough."

"Think carefully, isn't it possible that the defensive movement of Leicester City players is too little?"

"This is because your pulling range is too small, and you can't cause a significant change in the opponent's formation."

"So from now on, every player should pay more attention to the connection with his teammates when holding the ball, and not be limited to the space in front of him."

Mourinho commented on the team's overall shortcomings.

He seemed a little hesitant, but continued in a deep voice: "Also, the quality of the crosses and the shot conversion rate are not good, which results in extremely low efficiency in advancing through the ball."

“Chu, after you complete the breakthrough, you don’t have to be too anxious to pass the ball. Try to use your dribbling ability to continuously squeeze Leicester City’s defense into the penalty area.”

Chu Feng looked at the formation diagram drawn on the tactical board and soon came to his own understanding. He tried to answer: "Boss, I understand. We need to make the opponent's defense lose enough flexibility so that it cannot protect the top of the penalty area."

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Mourinho snapped his fingers and said with satisfaction.

At this time, in the Leicester City locker room next door, Shakespeare was cheering up the players.

"We started well but conceded first."

"But you have to remember that you are champions. When faced with difficulties and setbacks, you must never choose to escape."

"Boys, get excited and show the fans how strong you are!"

Veteran players such as Morgan, Vardy, Shinji Okazaki and Mahrez were the first to stand up.

They have already experienced lows and highs and have extremely strong hearts.

Led by several people, the Leicester City players formed a circle and overlapped their hands together, as if to pass strength to each other.

Then, he shouted loudly: "Come on!!!"

"come on!!!"

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly and the King Power Stadium returned to its previous bustle.

The second half of the game officially begins.

Manchester United decisively pressed forward, obviously wanting to seize the start and take control of the rhythm of the game.

Moreover, after midfield adjustments, the proportion of the left side in the attack was further increased.

After Chu Feng received the pass from his teammate, he also began to pay attention to controlling the rhythm of the breakthrough and tried to lead the passing and cutting cooperation in the local area.

Simply put, his kicking style was more curved, not as straightforward as in the first half.

But what makes Leicester City most uncomfortable is the position swap between Valencia and Blind.

Zhan Jun, who was watching the game from a God's perspective at this time, couldn't help but sigh: "At this stage, Manchester United mainly relies on the assists of the full-backs to support the width of the system in positional offense."

"Dear fans, you can pay attention to the running routes of Chu Feng, Mkhitaryan and Mata in the half-space area."

"Basically, we are interspersed and connected around the two sides of the central axis, and the offensive advancement is completed by increasing fluidity and connection."

"Mourinho is deliberately practicing advancement and penetration in the middle, which is a huge change compared to last season."

Zhang Lu laughed twice and echoed: "It feels like Manchester United is on the right track. It will be amazing in the future."

As the two talked, time passed.

64th minute of the game.

Ndidi dribbled the ball near the center circle and barely made a long diagonal pass due to interference from Mkhitaryan.

The football fell straight to the right.

This pass was not only fast, but also had a strong inward rotation.

It can be said that the quality is extremely poor.

But Mahrez's feet seemed to be covered with glue, and he took the football off steadily.

He is indeed one of the best players in football today.

Seeing this, Matic shouted immediately: "Steal the ball on the spot, don't give him a chance to pass the ball!"

Then, Valencia and Chu Feng double-teamed Mahrez from different directions, forming a horn-like formation.

Mahrez originally wanted to find a teammate to support him in the middle, but when he looked up, he found that Shinji Okazaki had been entangled by Pogba and could not provide any support at all.

So he had to do it himself.

However, in the narrow space on the wing, it is too difficult to break through the three-man defense.

He shook off Valencia but was intercepted by Matic on the side.

Chu Feng's movement was very smart. He immediately turned around and ran along the sideline.

It turned out that his choice was not wrong.

After Matic completed the steal, he simply passed the ball to the middle.

Mkhitaryan, who was retreating to receive the ball, was just about to pass it back, stabilize the rhythm and attack again.

But he suddenly heard a familiar voice and passed the ball without hesitation.

"Snap! " With a crisp sound.

The football drew a beautiful parabola and fell in front of the boy who was running desperately.

"Nice pass, nice movement, Manchester United's quick counterattack. Here it comes!"

“Can you seize the opportunity?”

Chu Feng stopped and moved forward.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

At the front of Leicester City's penalty area, Simpson knew he could not retreat any further, otherwise the opponent would most likely threaten his goal.

He stepped forward decisively and put on an impeccable defensive posture.

You definitely won't get through this time!

Chu Feng saw the shadow of his teammate with his peripheral vision, so he dribbled the ball towards the middle and created space on the wing.

Valencia at the back was very understanding and quickly adjusted his running direction.

Under the fanatical gaze of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans.

Chu Feng slowly slowed down and made a fake shot.

The moment Simpson stretched out his legs to intercept, he realized he had been deceived.

But his center of gravity had already been lost, and he could only watch in despair as the football passed by him and rolled towards Valencia on the side.

The latter pushed the ball into the far corner and steadily sent the ball into Leicester City's goal.

The Royal Power Stadium was boiling again.

Valencia ran wildly in excitement to celebrate, circled half a circle and came back to give Chu Feng a warm hug, grinning and praising him non-stop.

He thought that he had finally broken his four-month goal drought, and wondered who would dare to call him "Wa Bu Shooting" in the future.

“A pleasing match!”

"In the 65th minute of the game, Manchester United extended their lead again."

"I have to mention Chu Feng here. He has a clear mindset in the penalty area, pressuring the opponent's defense and creating space for his teammates."

Zhan Jun suddenly saw the scene on the sidelines and asked in confusion: "Hey, is Manchester United going to make a substitution?"

"No. 39 McTominay replaces No. 23 Chu Feng, No. 27 Fellaini replaces No. 22 Mkhitaryan."

The Manchester United fans in the away stands applauded vigorously.

Chu Feng first thanked the fans, then quickly walked to the sidelines.

He didn't have much objection to being substituted.

Because we are leading by two goals and during this period of time, we must strengthen our defense.

Moreover, the continuous breakthroughs in the early stages caused his physical strength to decline rapidly, and he could no longer provide enough impact force.

On the sidelines of the court, Chu Feng high-fived McTominay and encouraged him, “Come on!”

The latter nodded vigorously.

When it was Mourinho's turn, he patted Chu Feng on the shoulder, said some simple words of encouragement, and continued to direct.

After the game restarted.

Under Mourinho's adjustment.

Manchester United's overall formation retreated to strengthen defense and continuously resolve Leicester City's attack.

McTominay's current strength level is average, mainly responsible for defense, and his performance is not outstanding

final.

When the shrill whistle sounded, the game was over.

Thanks to book friend "Wuhan Zhenlong" for the monthly ticket.
