heir to the red devil

243 Disadvantage
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Icardi ran back to the court.He felt a slight pain in his right foot that was shoveled just now, and it seemed uncomfortable to exert force, but he didn't tell Kim Taige that he cherished the opportunity to start today.

Since this season, Icardi has always been Van Persie's substitute. Only in some unimportant Premier League games or the FA Cup, Kintag will send him to start.Even so, Icardi's performance is very good. So far, he has scored 13 goals in various competitions. Combined with his playing time, his efficiency is already extremely high.But looking at Van Persie, he has scored 25 goals in various competitions this season, and he still maintains the level of a world-class striker. With Van Persie's current state, even if he is a competitor, Icardi also thinks he has Qualify for a starting spot.

Although he will not be the main starter this season, Icardi is still full of hope for his future.At the end of this season, Rooney's departure from the team should be a certainty, and Van Persie is already 31 years old, and he is just 20 years old. The future of Manchester United must be his own!
Icardi usually trains very hard and waits for opportunities on the bench.And because Van Persie was injured in the last game, Kintag sent him to play in today's significant Champions League knockout match. He cherishes this opportunity very much and hopes to play well in this game and win in the team. a seat.

After he returned to the court, he was still very active in fighting, but he didn't get any good opportunities. Olympiacos players made great defensive moves, which made Icardi feel helpless.

At this time, BT Sport's Trick and Norrie were also talking.

"Olympiacos' devil's home court not only refers to their stadium atmosphere and fan environment, but also the referee's tendency to judge is also an aspect of home court advantage."

"Yes, just take the penalty just now. Marcano tackled Icardi. That ball is enough to get a red card. You know, as long as Icardi breaks through him, it is a single goal."

"I think most people have a balance in their hearts and make their own judgments on the penalty just now. But the referee, under the influence of the huge noise of the Olympiacos fans, finally just gave Marcano a yellow card, that's all .”

"Many Manchester United players are in poor form today. When they meet the Devils at home, it seems that it will be difficult for them to get out of here today."

Today, not only the Manchester United players are in poor condition, but even Kintag is in poor condition, at least Scholes thinks so.In the past, when Kim Taeg was directing the game from the sidelines, even if he encountered an unfavorable situation, he could calmly deal with it and find a solution to the problem.But today's Jin Taige, he seems to have lost his reason, shouting at the players on the field and shouting non-stop, but amidst the shouts of the fans, Jin Taige's voice was completely swallowed by the crowd.

Facing the shouts like thunder, the Manchester United players on the field were also very uncomfortable. They frequently made technical distortions and defensive mistakes, while the Olympiacos players became more and more courageous, frequently threatening Manchester United's goal.

After 45 difficult minutes, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The Manchester United players were relieved, listless, and returned to the locker room with their heads down.

During the intermission, Olympiacos coach Michel made adjustments to the lineup.Before the game, he thought that the team would encounter great difficulties in this game, so he formed a 4-2-3-1 formation, but after 45 minutes of playing, Michel was completely relieved-Manchester United is nothing more than that.

At present, the team leads by one goal, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Michel decisively adjusted the formation. He replaced a midfielder and replaced a striker, so that the team's formation became 4-1-3-2 , and he asked the team's right forward Campbell to boldly press up. In this way, the team's formation has actually become 4-3-3.Michelle is full of confidence. He must strive to score more goals in this game and prepare in advance for the next battle at Old Trafford.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Kintag criticized the players, especially Smalling, who was frequently out of position in the first half. The stance distance, to prevent mistakes from missing the ball again.

In the locker room, Kintegger made tactical adjustments. He replaced Rooney and replaced Nainggolan. Let Nainggolan and Kanter partner with double midfielders. The team's formation has also become 4- 2-3-1, leaving only Icardi to advance alone.

The purpose of this tactical adjustment is very obvious. Kintag put more energy on defense in the second half.According to the situation in the first half, Kintag was very concerned about the situation of his team. The players did not get any good opportunities in the offense. The limited counterattacks were all destroyed by Olympiacos' fierce tackles. Icardi They were tackled twice in a row, and Mahrez and Martial also broke through on the wing and suffered repeated collisions and tackles from the opponent. The first three offensive points were dumb, and De Bruyne also lost. The threat of a forward pass.

In view of this situation, Kintag adjusted his tactics and let the team focus on defense in the second half. If there is a chance, he will try to score a goal. If there is no good chance, he can maintain the defense and not lose the ball. Kintag is also satisfied. .The disadvantage of one ball is nothing, after going through the difficulties during this period and returning to Old Trafford, Kintag has absolute confidence that he can reverse the defeat!

"The intermission is over, and the players on both sides have all returned to the center of the court. The referee's whistle blows, and the second half of the game begins."

"Let's see what changes have been made on both sides. Michele puts on a striker and then puts Campbell up and they play a 4-3-3 and obviously Olympiacos are ready for the second half. Onslaught. Michel is very clear that if they can win more goal difference in this game, when they go to Old Trafford in the second leg, their team will play much better."

"On the other side, Manchester United also made substitution adjustments. They replaced the team's striker Rooney and replaced the midfielder Nainggolan. The team played 4-2-3-1. The intention is also very obvious. In the second half, Manchester United should focus on defense. It seems that Olympiacos' devil home has completely frightened the Manchester United soldiers. They are very afraid of this place, so they gave up attacking, firmly retreated, and tried to keep the goal. .”

"Let's take a look at the performance of the players from both sides in the second half."
