heir to the red devil

Chapter 666 Just kick it!

Seeing that Jin Taige was angry, the Manchester United players were also a little frightened.They know the temper of the young coach.

Usually, Jin Taige has a good relationship with the players, and often jokes outside the court.But once he got to the training ground, Jin Taige seemed to be a different person, serious and conscientious, and even a little harsh and mean about technical details.

When Kintag was very angry, he would criticize the players very severely; and when Kintag was extremely angry, he would just sit there and look at the players without saying a word, his eyes were like knives.

For the players, being criticized is not the most uncomfortable thing, but being glared at by Kintag is the moment the players fear the most.

At this time, Jin Taige was sitting on the coach's bench, watching them without saying a word.

The players all know that the boss is very angry now...

At this time, there are still a few minutes left before the end of the first half of the game. Under the tight defense of the opponent, Manchester United does not have any good offensive opportunities.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, Kintag ignored the players and walked back to the locker room by himself.

Phelan and Scholes looked at each other, smiled wryly and shook their heads.

In the dressing room of the visiting team, Sheffield United was extremely excited. They were able to take a 1-0 lead, and the opponent was still a strong Manchester United, and it was still at Old Trafford. hope!

In the locker room of the home team, all the players were lowering their heads, not daring to look at Jin Taige.At this time, Kintag watched the players come in, and Scholes also closed the door of the locker room, so he spoke.

"Guys, you have been playing well recently. Thirteen consecutive victories, I think you are now the Premier League champions. The Champions League group stage 16 points, I think you are not far from the Champions League trophy. Isn't it? Even the English football Both the AFC and UEFA should have awarded the trophy to you in advance. Don’t you think so?”

At this time, the captain Valencia stood up first. His performance in the first half was actually quite good. Although he scored an own goal, it was an extremely special situation and he cannot be blamed. Valencia represented all the players at this time. Players, apologized to Jin Taige: "Boss, we really didn't play well in the first half, I'm sorry."

Kim Tag stood up, patted Valencia on the shoulder, and motioned him to sit down.Then he slowly walked around the locker room and returned to his seat: "If we are facing Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Juventus, you are not as good as your opponents in terms of state and strength, I will admit it. But you No! You are all the top stars in Europe. Our Manchester United team is definitely at the top of Europe! But look at today’s performance. Facing a small Sheffield United team, you played like a team in the first half. What does it look like?"

"The goal just now, why did you allow your opponent to pass through the midfield so easily and shoot from the edge of the penalty area?"

"In the 45 minutes of the first half, we had a total of 9 shots. Why did you only have two shots within the range of the goal frame?"

"What are you all doing? You think there are many chances, doesn't it matter? Then let me tell you, if you continue to play around like this, after 45 minutes of the second half, our FA Cup journey will end! It will end on a Championship team. !"

Saying this, Jin Taige's voice suddenly lowered a little, and he looked at everyone with a sneer: "But this is reasonable, after all, the FA Cup is a hotbed for upsets, and you can accept being eliminated by weak teams, right? ?”

"Then you can play casually in the second half!"

Having said that, Kintag left the locker room as soon as he slammed the door, leaving only the players staring.

After a long time, Scholes sighed. He looked at everyone with some complaints in his eyes: "You guys are really absent-minded in this game, and it's normal for your boss to be angry. He doesn't need to say more about the tactical arrangement in the second half. What's the matter, you keep attacking. In this situation, we are behind, and the opponent will definitely continue to defend, so you strive to score goals as soon as possible in the second half, so as to ensure that we can enter the next round of the FA Cup."

After the intermission, players from both sides came out of the locker room.When the Manchester United players came out, they peeked at the coach's bench, and saw Kintag sitting there expressionless, looking at the pitch.And the players, like a mouse seeing a cat, ran to the field quickly, preparing for the second half of the game.

Scholes and Phelan walked to the coach's bench and sat around Kintag.

Ferran looked at him: "Tiger, your temper is really getting more and more explosive."

Jin Taige shook his head: "These boys have been dazzled by the recent victory, if they don't beat them well, they should really drift away."

Scholes looked at the players on the field: "I believe they will gradually get better in the second half..."

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's spirit has indeed changed. Their frontcourt offense has improved and put more pressure on their opponents.The two wide players Alonso and Valencia also frequently assisted and stepped forward, especially Valencia who scored an own goal, he wanted to make up for his mistakes.

But even if Manchester United's state improves, it is still difficult for them to break through the opponent's goal.In this game, Sheffield United completely gave up on defense. At the beginning of the second half, they replaced two defenders and a defensive midfielder in a row. The team formation became 5-5-0, and there was no one left a striker.

In this dense defensive situation, Manchester United did not have any good opportunities except for oblique 45-degree crosses and long-range shots.

At this time, several midfielders were also in a hurry. Sheffield United completely cut off the connection between them and the striker, making Manchester United's offense more of a lonely fight.And several of Manchester United's forwards got lost in the opponent's penalty area.

Seeing this situation, Kintag seized the time to make tactical adjustments. He replaced Coulibaly with veteran Van Persie, allowing him to continue to strengthen the striker's strength in the penalty area and continuously exert pressure on the opponent.

On the midfield line, except for Kanter, everyone completely let go of their hands and feet and pressed on the offense.

Even so, Manchester United still failed to break through the opponent's goal.

Kintag replaced the speedy Mahrez with Martial, who has more delicate skills. Martial's absolute speed is not very fast, but his ball control and shooting in a small area are definitely world-class of.So Jin Taige sent him on the field, trying to use the last moment to hit the opponent's goal.

However, until the 82nd minute of the game, Manchester United still fell behind 0-1.

Jin Taige, who was off the field, was completely anxious: Is this season's FA Cup really going to end in this way?
