Rochdale is located more than an hour's drive north of Manchester's urban area. The home of Spartland Road Stadium can accommodate up to 8,000 fans to watch the game.

As New Manchester United's first warm-up match near Manchester City this season, this game attracted more than 1,500 fans in total to watch the game. They all received news that the club has introduced several players this season. Powerful players, including a Brazilian international, are interested in seeing them.

In this game, the main lineup of New Manchester United has undergone a small change. The forward line is still the main force of Jonathan Matten, but his partner has been replaced by Croatian teenager Olich.

The left forward is Rich Velence, the right forward is replaced by Belarusian teenager Alexander Hleb, the center forward is Brazilian international Junior Juninho, and the back waist is Carl Maginson.

The left-back and center-back candidates have not changed. They are still Evra, Abidal and Gareth Turner, but the right-back has become Steinson. This player has been active on the training court and his defensive skills Weak, and at the same time have a certain amount of offensive power, unlike Kevin Evan can only blindly defend.

The goalkeeper is still the main force of Ammunia, and David Green sits on the bench.

Just two days ago, Peter Schmeichel has announced his departure from Manchester United. He is still considering where his next stop will be. In an interview with reporters, he said that he would not rule out the possibility of staying in Manchester. Sex.

However, there are two teams in Manchester City, Manchester City and New Manchester United. Which one will be selected? It is not easy to say for the time being. In addition, Portugal's Atletico Lisboa still does not give up on him.

Everything is possible until the contract is bound!

When the referee blew the whistle at the start of the game, Rochdale launched a fierce attack on New Manchester United. They may have learned about New Manchester United beforehand, knowing that New Manchester United's left-side defense is a big problem, so At the beginning, he devoted himself to attacking New Manchester United's left.

Rich Willens is 21 years old this year. After a season of training in the Northwest Division B, he has improved a lot, very fast, but the one-to-one ability is very average, but because Bruce gave His absolute freedom in the left half of the frontcourt makes him seem active on the court.

Rochdale obviously also noticed the characteristics of Rich Willens, so he specially arranged a targeted defense. No matter which area he went to, there would always be players to defend, which greatly restricted him. Play by Rich Willens.

In the 12th minute, Richy received Evra's pass on the left and faced the opponent's right-back. He wanted to use the speed to break, but was shoveled by the opponent and hit a counterattack.

Fortunately, Evra was assigned a heavier defensive task in this game, and he did not advance forward, which made the opponent's counterattack not play out.

In the 15th minute, Karl Marginson intercepted the ball and passed it to Juninho Jr., who once again found Rich Velence on the left and quickly cut in. However, because the passing line was too obvious, he was advanced by the opposing center defender. Make a siege.

In the 17th minute, Eric Abidal made a header and Evra made a long pass. Under the interference of the opponent, Jonathan Methen made a header and left the ball to be intercepted by Rochdale's right back.

Perhaps because of the absence of Darren Lyons, after Manchester United eased Rochdale's offensive in the first half, they began to violently attack Rochdale's right from the left, within a few minutes Many opportunities have been created, and threats have not been made from beginning to end.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the stands, had to sigh. Although it is a professional team of the English Premier League, although it is not dare to say that it must be better than New Manchester United, at least in controlling the game, it must exceed the new Manchester United have more than one.

Last season's Northwest Division B League, New Manchester United was able to play well, mainly because the opponents are some amateur teams, but now, when it comes to professional teams, New Manchester United immediately exposed Various problems.

"If this continues, it is estimated that this game will be tragedy!" Despite being reluctant to see, Xiao Yu really has such intuition.

Sure enough, while Walsh sitting next to Xiao Yu was still doubting Xiao Yu's judgment, Rochdale scored.

In the 21st minute, Riche Velence was interrupted with the ball. The opponent was very clever long-passing behind Evra. The striker made a slight adjustment after passing the ball to the left of New Manchester United. Rick Abidal headed into the net, 1: 0!

This is the first goal conceded by New Manchester United this season's warm-up match, which also made the new Manchester United players who were already full of confidence suddenly stunned.

Rochdale's goal set is the same as that of New Manchester United against the amateur teams in the Northwest Division B last season. It is very simple and capable. Three or four foot passes solve the problem.

It ’s ironic that the previous tricks were used by the enemy.

But more than that, New Manchester United launched a more aggressive offensive against Rochdale after conceding the ball, and it was basically concentrated on the left. However, Rochdale obviously obliged Rich Willens. Restraint, Evra was afraid of being counterattacked, and did not dare to jump too far forward, making New Manchester United's offensive on the left become thunder and rain.

On the right, Hleb worked hard, but failed to get the support of his teammates. He ran to the neutral several times, but no one passed him, and Bruce under the field saw his chest bouncing for a while.

New Manchester United, who could not score for a long time, conceded another goal in the 34th minute. Rochdale still played on the left side of New Manchester United. After the two players cooperated with Evra, the ball was passed to the front of the penalty area and the opponent's center forward took it. Long shot, Ammunia misses the save, 2: 0!

The two goals conceded almost exactly the same, and the fans on the stands saw an uproar.

You know, last season, especially in the latter part of the season, New Manchester United's left wing played exceptionally well. The two left wing wings are a nightmare for almost all Northwest Division B teams, but this is just a few Months later, the entire left was blown out.

Could it be that the gap between amateur leagues and professional leagues is really so great?

"If we can't solve this problem, the prospect of our playing in the national league in the new season is estimated to be nothing!"

As an old fan who has been watching football for many years, Xiao Yu naturally can see the seriousness of this problem.

The introduction of too many players and cooperation with each other is not enough. Many foreign players have not been able to integrate into the team. This makes the team unable to play despite the strength of the team. After all, 11 people are playing on the football field. Without the cooperation of the team, even the big names like Real Madrid's galaxy superstar will be tragedy.

After being slammed two goals in a row, New Manchester United players began to become worried. They wanted to attack, but they were worried about being counterattacked, but they did not attack, but the opponent already had two goals in hand.

Although this is only a warm-up game of training nature, Bruce has given requirements before the game. Every game, whether it is a warm-up game, a cup game or a league game, New Manchester United must win!

After conceding the ball, he became timid and Rochdale slowed down. This was originally a team with a strong defensive counterattack. This is also Rochdale's base in the English Premier League for decades and has always lingered in the midstream .

The locker room at New Manchester United's midfield was quiet. Only the laboratory staff was holding the instrument to test some data for the players. These data will be entered into the computer and then analyzed.

The players are like a defeated cock, sitting or lying down listlessly. The newly joined players are afraid to speak in this situation. The old players who were on the team last year are even afraid to speak. Everyone could see that Bruce's Tieqing's face was showing his anger.

After waiting for the laboratory staff to leave, Bruce coughed.

"We performed very poorly in the first half. Maybe you will say that the opponent is the English-C team and the strength is stronger than us, but I don't think so. You look at the current staffing of our players, Ribeiro, Brazil international; Yacek Krenowic, Polish international; Iveka Olich, playing for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga last season, while Pete Crouch was transferred from the Premier League team Come."

"In terms of staffing alone, I don't think we will lose to our opponents, but why did we fall behind by two goals in the first half? And according to statistics, we only had two poor shots in the first half, and all of them Shot at the stands, I'm really worried, if in case you accidentally hit Xiao Yu, will I and you all be finished! "

Bruce's last sentence caused a laughter in the locker room. Although small and sparse, it dispelled the solemn and gloomy atmosphere in the locker room.

"This is a rare training opportunity. I intend to play as a league. I want to win a victory. In the second half, Yacek replaced Richie and Patrice. Your responsibility is to defend. Remember, defend first. Consider a forward move, understand? "

Evra was assigned a task by name, and immediately stood up and nodded.

In addition to making adjustments to the left, Bruce replaced the young Juninho, who performed poorly in the first half, and Danish Christian Paulson played for the double back and replaced him with Rikic. The poor performance of Jonathan McTenfield, and Olić teamed up the front line.

"We have to lower our profile in the second half. We are the team that escorted the National League. We were still in the Northwest Division B last year. So we are a weak team. We have to play a defensive counterattack. When we hit it, we collect it and wait for the opportunity to rebound quickly, like a spring, understand? "

Bruce's hands made a spring compression and rebound action in front of the player, so that the player knows clearly that he does not want the blind defense, but the kind of premeditated defense to fight back and strive for a victory !! 2k novel reading network
