Red Rebels

86 unexpected

The Agderborough Stadium in Kidderminster is empty and stands on both sides, with almost as many people.

Because Kiddminster's home uniform is also big red, New Manchester United wears away white uniform, but the two green and gold lines on the uniform are still very conspicuous.

Most of the new Manchester United fans from the stands also wore white uniforms. Although there were only more than 700 people following the team to the away team, the number of fans watching Kidderminster turned out to be just as close to New Manchester United. It can be seen how bad the attendance at home is.

Recently, the FA has also suffered from the decline in home occupancy of low-level teams, and is trying to solve it. After all, for the weak teams, they have no way to attract too much sponsorship, and ticket revenue has become their biggest one. If the source of income is lost even if the ticket income is lost, it can only go bankrupt or be in debt.

Due to the similar numbers, the two fans each occupy a stand, and they clearly cheer for the teams they support.

In the past two years, there have been more and more banned accidents in England fans, so in this game, the Kidderminster Local Police Department also dispatched many police officers to maintain order at the scene.

Xiao Yu walked from the parking lot towards the stadium and came to the gate, just to see Scarlett get off from a news car with the Manchester local television logo, and a neat anchor uniform, adding a little more workplace The charm of women.

"Hey, Miss Reporter!" Xiao Yu walked over to say hello.

"Hello, it looks like you're in a good mood!" Scarlett said with a smile.

Xiao Yu's eyes thief twirled around her and pointed, "You're ... the newspaper's new uniform?"

"Oh no, the TV station is going to rebroadcast this game, so borrow from our newspaper and let me temporarily serve as their commentator." Scarlett explained.

Xiao Yu frowned. This Nizi didn't seem to have a good impression of New Manchester United. She always liked to criticize and provoke her to be a commentator. Doesn't that give her a chance to target New Manchester United on TV?

"Can you do well?" Xiao Yu asked doubtfully.

Scarlett shrugged pretty pretty, "This doesn't need you to care, Mr. Xiao Yu, what you should care more about is your team. If your team has no problems, then I can't pick up anything wrong. Isn't it? "

After speaking, Scarlett turned and left, but seemed to think of something, turned around, took a piece of paper from her bag, and handed it to Xiao Yu.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, you should look at this starting list. I heard that Steve Bruce wants to give up this game!"

"This is impossible!" Xiao Yu answered without thinking.

Scarlett had expected Xiao Yu to have this reaction, and smiled, "Look at it!" After speaking, turn around and leave.

Xiao Yu ripped open the paper and saw that it did indeed write a list of New Manchester United's starters.

The single forward is Zikic. The Serbian and Montenegro player has performed very well this season and is the most guaranteed goal for New Manchester United.

In Xiao Yu's previous life, Rikic performed very well in the Serbian and Herzegovina domestic league. Now he has been brought to the English National League. The level is low. The overall level of the league is not as good as the top league in Serbia and Montenegro. Strange performance is understandable, even now, other teams in the national league have not found a way to restrain this high center.

The two full-backs are Olich and Hleb. The former appeared for the first time at New Manchester United's left forward position, and in training, it seems that he has not seen much of him in this position. As for Hleb The starter for Darren Lyons was somewhat unexpected. After all, there was Zikic before, and Darren Lyons' role was very huge.

Without Darren Lyons, who made a sharp pass for Zikic?

But it was more than that. What surprised Xiao Yu was the configuration of the midfield.

Juninho Jr. was appointed as the midfielder, Essien and Paulson played double backs, and Makinson was injured. Essin and Juninho Jr. can start at any point, but Bruce has put both of them. Go up.

Do you want to strengthen the midfield defense?

The defense line has not changed much. Evra firmly holds the position of the left defender. Abidal is the absolute main force of the left center. Distin replaced Gareth Turner, who started in the previous round, and Stanson, the right defender. The goalkeeper is field captain Schmeichel.

This starting lineup is indeed a bit elusive.

Krzynowic and Darren Lyons both played for 90 minutes in the last league start three days ago. If Darren Lyons is older, considering physical issues, use He It is understandable that Leib replaced him, but why did Olich replace Krzynov?

However, Xiao Yu has the advantage of being a boss, that is, he knows very well that he is not an expert in technical and tactical aspects of the team, so he didn't worry about much, just took a doubt and went to the stands!

In New Manchester United's dressing room, Bruce stood in front of the tactical board, next to assistant coach Kassel, and 11 starting players sat in front of him, watching the tactical board intently.

"Nikolai, this time your mission needs to be changed slightly. The opponent must have studied our team's tactics, so they will definitely try to restrain you. You see, their starting center back is 1.93 meters tall. It ’s a good header, it ’s just for you! ”

Bruce said with a smile, and immediately made the players in the locker room smile at Rikic, who shook his head a bit shyly.

"You have to be more flexible in this game, Nicholas. Once your height and header advantage are restrained by the opponent, then you have to change, run more, involve more, it is best to pull the opponent's defensive focus. go."

After listening, Ricky thought for a moment, nodded suddenly, and understood.

"Alexander, you will be the most important part of our team in this game. If Nikola can successfully suppress the opponent's defense and play his header and height advantage, you must give the cross as much as possible, It's like Darren was there. Conversely, if Nicholas is suppressed, you have to cut inward, find a way to create opportunities, hit the door yourself, or pass the ball to your teammates. I give you absolute freedom, both sides The road is all yours! "

Hleb heard a burst of blood, but for the first time he was reused by Bruce, he nodded quickly and agreed.

"Iveka, although you are a left forward, you are more of a contact between the forward and the midfield. With your running, do you understand what I mean?"

Olich nodded, what he was best at doing was to keep running, and Bruce also wanted to use him to contact the forward line and the midfield. This is not difficult to understand. The key is what he will do when he is on the field. This can only be played by him.

"In this game, I want to advance the defense line by 5-10 meters, so Eric and Silvan, you must pay attention to defend the ball behind the opponent, especially fast counterattack, Patrice, Greta, you must pay attention Protect your position, don't be easily broken by the other side! "

The so-called forward line of defense does not mean that the entire line of defense is pushed forward. When attacking, the line of defense is still in that position. However, when defending, the recovery of the line of defense will require the defense team to recover to the field, and the midfield. And the striker line should also follow the recovery, maintaining the balance of the three lines.

If the defense line advances 5-10 meters, it means that whether it is attacking or defensive, the defense line is basically unchanged and it is not recovered, so the midfield and forward lines are also not recovered. The three lines counterattack on the spot and pass the steal first. And interception, slowing down the opponent's offensive rhythm, it is naturally best to be able to break the ball, even if not, you can gradually recover.

Another feature of moving the defense forward is that the three lines remain compact, compressing the opponent's offensive space and not allowing the opponent to easily threaten their own goal.

"Ribero, after you play, you hit the avant-garde. The main point of the team's ball hits you. I don't arrange a defensive task for you. After playing, you only need to think about one thing, that is how to pass the ball to Just under the feet of Nicholas, Alexander, Iveka and others, don't worry about losing the ball, because there is Christian behind you, he will be responsible for helping you to get back the lost ball! "

Little Juninho and Paulson looked at each other, and the latter nodded toward the former, seemingly telling him not to worry.

Paulson has been very eye-catching since this season, especially his double back with Marginson partner, which is the guarantee of New Manchester United defense, and the former is only 19 years old this year, there is still much room for improvement.

"Michael, this is your first starter, don't worry, you can do it!" Bruce smiled at Essence comfortably. "Once on the field, you don't have to think about anything. Your responsibility is to take charge of the whole game. Defense in the field, you don't have to think about protecting the defense line, that's Christian's responsibility, and you don't have to headache the team to attack, there is Ribeiro. "

"So what do I do?" Essien looked up naively at the head coach.

In a word, the entire dressing room suddenly laughed.

Bruce couldn't help but smile, he was so impressed by Xiao Yu's vision that he even dug out such a pearl from a little-known little club in Africa, and it was still so young. Over time, he would definitely become the club's priceless treasure.

In addition to Essien, look at the new signings of New Manchester United this season, all of them are young and capable teenagers. As long as they continue to follow this development trend, they will certainly have a lot of future.

"Just grab the ball!" Bruce gave his answer with a smile.

Essien froze, grab the ball?

When he saw Bruce's hand covering the large area from the opponent's penalty area to the middle of his own penalty area, he suddenly understood that the head coach was giving him freedom and exerting his advantages, while letting Paulson pass Assistance, cover up his flaws.

"Relax, sir, I won't let the opponent pass even a ball from me!" Essien nodded and promised! 2k novel reading network
