heir to the red devil

Chapter 1165 Angels Among Devils
During the intermission, the starting players rested in the locker room, waiting for the head coach's arrangement, while the substitute players stayed on the court to warm up and prepare to come off the bench for the second half at any time.This is an arrangement that many head coaches would choose, and Jin Taige is no exception.

When the main players walked out of the player tunnel and ran onto the court, the substitute players also returned to the bench one after another.

When Nainggolan was going down, he had just come to the sidelines when he was stopped by Kintag.

"Boss, what are your plans?" Nainggolan looked at Jin Taige, his eyes widened, and he listened carefully.

Jin Taige wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and still didn't speak. After a moment of silence, he patted Nainggolan on the shoulder: "Get ready, come off the bench in the second half."

"Okay, boss!" Nainggolan nodded and trotted back to the bench, still moving his shoulders and arms.

Jin Taige looked at Nainggolan, feeling a little unbearable.

In the starting lineup sent by Kintag today, almost all the players are the usual rotation players, while Griezmann, Salah, De Bruyne and other absolute main players are all sitting on the bench today.But there is one position where Kintag still sent regular main players just to be on the safe side.

That is Kanter's starting lineup at the midfielder position.

In this season's lineup, Nainggolan has always played the role of a substitute midfielder. In important games, as Kanter's substitute, he always occupies a substitute seat; Golan is a regular starter and has been impressive.

Whether Nainggolan is partnered with Carrick and Lingard, or with newcomer Naby Keita, Nainggolan is an excellent teammate.He has excellent physical fitness, excellent running ability, and can make great contributions to the team on both ends of the offense and defense.And his fierce tackling and desperate defense can also cause great deterrence to the enemy.With him as an escort, the teammates in the midfield are like having an extra bodyguard, attacking without any scruples.

And Nainggolan can always play an important role in the offense. His abundant physical strength allows him to sprint with all his strength in the penultimate minutes of the game. His precise burst is also a major scoring method for Manchester United.

In this game, Kintag played the usual rotation players. Logically speaking, Nainggolan should be sent, but Kintag considered it again and again, and chose to play it safe and let Kanter start.

On the one hand, this is considering that the defensive players Mendy and Bailey have not recovered from their injuries soon, and their physical fitness is not at their best. Kanter's large-area defensive ability can help them a lot; , don't risk attacking just yet.After all, Nainggolan likes to press up, which can easily cause emptiness in the defense; and his fiery temper is also a major hidden danger.

After thinking about it in this way, Kintag put Nainggolan on the bench again.

Before making such an arrangement, Kintag personally talked to Nainggolan and told him his thoughts.Kintag could tell that Nainggolan was a little disappointed, but facing Kintag, the Belgian Beast nodded vigorously: "Boss, I will definitely respect your arrangement and wait on the bench for the opportunity to play."

That's why Kintag stopped him when he saw Nainggolan who had warmed up.But Jin Taige didn't know what to say...

Looking back on this incident now, Kintag felt a little indebted to Nainggolan.

If placed in other teams, a super B2B player like Nainggolan must be the absolute main force, but in Manchester United, because of Kanter's presence, he often sits on the bench, and in Kintag's tactical arrangement Here, he also appeared as a tactical supplement.

After a while in the second half, when the situation stabilizes, let Nainggolan play.He also fought for this championship for a whole season. In the championship finals, he must be given a chance to play.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle to start the second half of the game, and the game began.

Jin Taige looked at the Manchester City players on the field, and he found that Manchester City had changed their formation and replaced them.

In the first half, the central defender Stones, who partnered with Kompany, was replaced by Guardiola with Delph, and then Delph stepped into the position of the midfielder, and Manchester City's lineup became 3-4-3. stronger.

And the biggest change in this change is that Pogba is liberated from the midfielder position.

Before this game, there were rumors that Fernandinho was injured, so Guardiola asked Pogba to replace the midfielder, which seems to be true.Otherwise, when Guardiola changes at this time, he should send Fernandinho instead of the weaker Delph.

In the next period of time, Manchester City's attack power soared!

"Dribbling in the frontcourt, he passes the ball to Pogba! Pogba goes straight, Sterling goes in at high speed! Kicks the goal! Romero seals the near corner and blocks the ball go out!"

"This time, it was the cooperation of Seat B and Jesus on the right side, passing to Aguero! Aguero was held up by Maguire, and he couldn't turn around at all! Aguero passed back to Pogba! Pogba shoots, fast! Romero doesn't react! The ball is just a little wide! If it was within the goal, it would have been a goal!"

The two consecutive attacks were an opportunity created by Pogba, and the Manchester United players on the field felt a little difficult to defend.For a while, even Carrick pulled back in front of the box to help defend.

Kintag frowned off the field: "It's not good to continue to fight like this. It's only three things. Pogba has already made two very threatening attacks. If he is given another chance, it will be troublesome..."

But not long after Jin Taige sighed, his worry became a reality.

"Carrick and Delph collided. Delph seemed to have fouled, but the referee did not stop the game."

"Delph passes the ball to Pogba! Pogba shoots in front of the box! Goal!"

"In the 62nd minute of the game, Pogba broke through Manchester United's goal with a strong shot from outside the penalty area. Manchester City tenaciously tied the score to 1-2!"

"Pogba at the beginning of this season, against Guardiola and at odds with his teammates, is simply like a devil, messing up the atmosphere of the Manchester City team."

"In the second half of the league, since Pogba and Guardiola reconciled, Pogba's state has recovered rapidly. And the goal just now, for Manchester City, which is now in trouble, is like an angel descending Same! Helped Manchester City regain their confidence!"

"Pogba, the guy that Manchester City fans love and hate, is simply an angel among the devil!"
