74 big troubles

New Manchester United's stance in the second half is obviously a bit unexpected than Rochdale.

You know, in the Northwest Division B last season, New Manchester United was famous for offensive football and set a record for England's tenth league. This is not a joke, and even if it faces Assen at Highbury Stadium At the time, New Manchester United also did not give up the offense.

In these warm-up games before the start of the season, New Manchester United are also playing offensive football. Although it is a kind of offensive football with a hard bridge and hard horse, their style of play is still very aggressive.

It's unexpected now that it's suddenly recovered.

But this does not mean that New Manchester United's defensive ability is not good.

Abidal, Paulson, Evra, Stanson, these are the future British super, and even European and world-class defensive stars. Although they are still young, their strength cannot be compared with the next few years, but their The opponent is also not a strong European team such as Real Madrid.

Once such a player configuration is firmly established, relying on Rochdale's not outstanding attack power, it is also very difficult to break the New Manchester United defense line.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Bruce replaced Dustin with Garrett Turner, partnered with Eric Abidal as the central defender, and Crouch replaced Olich, who was diligent, but this Did not show much strength in the game.

Darren Lyons replaces Alexander Hleb. The Belarusian has a good running position and speed on the court, but there are not many opportunities for performance. After all, there is still a big problem with the cooperation between his teammates, and He doesn't speak English until now, which is also a big problem.

It seems that he wanted to start an attack while New Manchester United adjusted the lineup. Rochdale started to become fierce from the 55th minute. Since New Manchester United adopted the recycling defense, before he knew it, Rochdale Seoul's defense was forced to move forward, leaving New Manchester United room to fight back.

In the 73rd minute, after experiencing several offensive failures, Rochdale again attacked New Manchester United. The right winger faced Evra with the ball. After receiving the reminder from Bruce, the latter had almost no advance in the second half. , So appeared early on the defensive position that he should appear.

Rochdale's right-wing avant-garde is taller and stronger than the skinny Evra. He wants to lean against Evra with his body, but he did not expect Evra to use his more flexible body to avoid the opponent. , Stretch your foot, kick the ball out, and quickly bring the ball along the left.

Towards the centreline, Evra made a direct pass to Krzynowic on the left. The latter passed the opponent's right-back and came near the corner of the penalty area to the center in front of Rochdale's centre-back.

The Danish teenager Paulson rushed to the ground and shot a shocking long shot. At the scene, he could hear the muffled sound of the ball hitting the ball, and then saw the ball directly hit the opponent's goal like a cannonball.

Facing a sudden long shot outside the penalty area, Rochdale's goalkeeper was immediately stunned. Even the save was too late, and he could only watch the ball enter the net.

2: 1! New Manchester United scored a goal after a quick counterattack after going through the difficult defense after the opening half of the second half.

Although this goal was scored by Paulson in the back row, during the entire goal, Rikic's move to the right of the penalty area attracted Rochdale's defensive attention. This made Rochdale's defense near the front of the penalty area leaky, and Krinovik's ball was just right.

It can be said that this wonderful goal is not just the credit of the goalscorers and assists. Zikic, Crouch and others also played a very important role in this attack.

After scoring a goal, Bruce constantly shouted to the players on the sideline to pay attention, and then continued or recycled gestures to signal the players to focus, don't care, after all, the opponent is the professional team of the Bing, meaning Failing!

The move by Paulson to replace Junior Juninho in the midfield was obvious. This was not only reflected in that goal, but also the thickness of the defensive midfielder.

Paulson's tenacious style, running on the field without hesitation and that fierce defensive style injected a **** and fierce midfielder into New Manchester United, and Karl Marginson is also a good running player. The midfield has created a barrier for New Manchester United, and they can be seen almost everywhere.

When Rochdale attacked New Manchester United's left, Paulson would appear next to Evra to help the latter defend. At this time, Makinson must occupy the middle. When Rochdale attacked New Manchester United's right, Karl Markinson will run to help Stanson, while Paulson will run back to the middle to occupy the position.

Although this was only their first appearance on the court, the partnership between the two players turned out to be tacit, not at all like a first-time partner.

It was precisely because of the partnership between Paulson and Markinson that made New Manchester United's rocker straight, Rochdale's offense came back again and again, and New Manchester United's counterattack became more and more powerful. .

In the 81st minute, Makinson intercepted the ball in the middle and passed it to Darren Lyons on the right. The latter slightly raised his head and immediately made a long diagonal pass. .

Rochdale's goalkeeper has already stood in position, holding his head against Zikic's header with both hands, holding the ball out of the beam, corner kick!

Darren Lyons came to the left corner and Abidal, Distin, Marginson, Zikic, Crouch, Stanzon and other tall players from New Manchester United gathered in the opponent's penalty area. inside.

Xiao Yu, sitting in the stands, laughed suddenly when he saw the opponent's restricted area full of players.

You know, these New Manchester United players are generally above 1.85 in height. The shortest is Abidal. The height is 1.86. It looks higher than the opposing center defender. Stronger, so when preparing for a corner kick, the opposing center defender continued to pull him, but never pulled.

It is estimated that Rochdale's head coach should be worried now! Xiao Yu thought cheerfully.

Darren Lyons' corner kick was high and he made an arc and landed behind.

Zikic has already occupied the back spot. His height of more than 2 meters gives him a good advantage in the header, but because the opponent's center defender is in front of him, header feasibility is not feasible. So he ferries to the front.

Just when Darren Lyons served, Abidal, who drew the opponent's central defender to the outside of the penalty area, suddenly turned around, facing Zikic's header, leaping to the top!

The goal has been scored!

All of the New Manchester United fans stood up and waved and cheered at Abidal running on the field.

Last season, Bruce's leading defense line brought countless joy to fans. This season, Bruce has decided to leave the stadium. The newly joined Abidal has already proven his ability through only three warm-up games, and he is still here. Scored a goal in the match against the English Premier League team.

"Eric! Eric!"

The players in the stands first cheered chaotically, and then shouted Abidal's name neatly and orderly. The latter also went to the stands of the New Manchester United fans and waved at the fans.

At the age of 20, he has been playing only for semi-professional teams near Lyon, but no matter from the club's hardware facilities, or from the club's ambitions, the Duchere team cannot match New Manchester United.

This is like the guarantee that New Manchester United made when they found Abidal. New Manchester United has avid fans and ample budgets, but more importantly, the club has ambitious plans and amazing ambitions, and These were not at all what Douchere could give him.

Although it hasn't been long before coming to Manchester, Abidal is satisfied with his transfer.

After celebrating the goal with the fans, Abidal went back and hugged and shook hands with his opponents along the way, especially Rikic, who assisted him. The two held tightly for a while, causing the stands. The fans once again reported warm applause and cheers.

Two goals ahead, but two consecutive losses, made Rochdale's head coach want to get a draw, so he replaced a forward with a defender, and then began to make substantial substitutions in the midfield.

It was very tacit. As soon as the opponent replaced, Bruce also changed. First, Roy Williams replaced Evra, then Kevin Evan replaced Stanson, and then Danny Collins replaced the attack. Abidal scored a goal, Stephen Smith came on and replaced Karl Marginson.

The large substitutions caused the game to finally enter garbage time. Everyone can see that this will become a draw. Both sides played for 45 minutes. In this game, both sides also exposed a lot. The problem.

Especially New Manchester United, in this game, the left-hand defense problem is very big, but the bigger trouble is in the middle.

Paulson played very well, and his partner with Marginson was also very acquainted. In contrast, Junior Juninho, the Brazilian international who has just arrived, played very poorly, and he and his other Brazilian predecessors did not adapt to the English League football style. Similarly, it is worrying that his transfer will also end in failure.

However, is it necessary to let the big-name Juninho play, or to use the more ideal Paulson?

This is obviously an issue that Bruce must consider after this game.

As for the striker, the competition between Zikic and Jonathan McTen has clearly come to fruition. Whether the former has scored or not, the help for the team is very obvious, and Jonathan McTen despite being the Northwest District last season. The best scorer in the second league, but that is in the amateur league, but this season New Manchester United is going to play in the national league.
