Chapter 927 Breaking the dense defense!

After the wave of praising Mbappe passed, many people calmed down. They re-examined the new structure of the Premier League and found that this season is really an unusual season.

With the current situation, all big6 have the strength to compete for the Premier League championship. They are all ready to go in the new season.And Manchester United's road to defending the title will definitely be very difficult.

After Kintag's team won the Community Shield Cup and the UEFA Super Cup, their journey to the new season officially began!
It is now mid-August, and there are less than 20 days left in August.During this period, Manchester United will usher in the first three rounds of the Premier League. The opponents in these three rounds are Swansea, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Except for Swansea, which is slightly stronger, both Chelsea and Arsenal are difficult to deal with.

On August 8, the Premier League officially kicked off.

The opening game will be held at Old Trafford, Manchester United hosts Premier League Swansea.

At the beginning of the game, Swansea set up a bus formation. They even left only one striker to play a proper role in Manchester United's half. The rest of them were all active in their own half.

The purpose of Swansea's game is obvious-to keep a draw, that one point is enough.

Scholes on the sidelines said with a smile: "Captain, it seems that our offensive power was too strong in the first two games, which scared Swansea."

Phelan was very proud: "A total of ten goals were scored in the two games, and the opponents were strong teams like Manchester City and Liverpool. With this result, who dares to refuse?"

But Jin Taige was not so relaxed. He observed the situation on the field seriously: "I am not afraid that the opponent will attack us now, but I don't want to meet the iron barrel formation. The dense defense is really annoying. In the Swansea penalty area There is no place to stay, and our offense is too difficult to play."

Scholes is very confident: "Captain, haven't you adjusted your tactics during this time? Our players are facing the iron barrel formation, and now we are not afraid."

On the training ground during this period, Kintag's tactics have undergone some changes.He knows that Manchester United, as a seven-time champion team, has now become the target of public criticism.When facing those strong teams, Jin Taige is not worried, anyway, it's over!
But facing the intensive defense of weak teams, it can be a bit troublesome.In the future, there will be more weak teams that adopt intensive defensive tactics against Manchester United. In this case, Manchester United will encounter a lot of trouble.

In view of this situation, Kintag deliberately asked the players to strengthen free kick training, especially the indirect free kick in the front court, which is the focus of training.

As for the team's direct free kicks, there are many masters.In addition to Griezmann, De Bruyne, Kroos and other offensive players, Alonso's free kicks are also top-notch.

In this game, Manchester United encountered Swansea's strict defense.

Swansea almost gave up attacking and went back to their own half, defending desperately.

Their defense was of high quality and gave United almost no chances in the first 30 minutes.

But soon, Manchester United seized a good opportunity.

This time, it was Mbappe's continuous breakthrough on the right, which caused chaos in Swansea's defense.If Mbappe is allowed to protrude like this, then he should enter the penalty area, and it will be even more dangerous to defend.

So Swansea tackled Mbappe outside the box and gave United a free-kick.

Both De Bruyne and Kroos stand in front of the ball, looking in the direction of the goal.

At this time, Griezmann, Mbappe and Salah were all in the crowd, Van Dijk and Koulibaly also rushed up, waiting to compete for the header, leaving only Kante in the backcourt.

The Swansea players were very nervous. They were closely guarding Manchester United's two tall central defenders and guarding against Manchester United's three forwards for close defense.

"Manchester United's free kick in front of the box, what will they do?"

"De Bruyne hit the goal directly! The goal is in!!!"

"In the 33rd minute of the game, Swansea's defensive line collapsed!"

"De Bruyne's direct free kick was like a scimitar, piercing Swansea's goal and helping Manchester United take the lead!"

Old Trafford ushered in the first Premier League goal of the season, Manchester United fans excitedly celebrated in the stands.

Jin Taige took a deep breath, the old Trafford stadium with mountains and tsunami, after sleeping for a summer, finally revived!
It's such a good feeling!

After Swansea scored a goal, their defense remained solid.The conceded goal just now was just an accident. It is not suitable to press it out now, and we should continue to stick to it.

But after 10 minutes, Swansea's goal was broken again.

"Kroos' free kick in the frontcourt! The penalty was in the middle of the penalty area! Van Dijk at the front point attracted most of the defensive attention, and Griezmann finally scored!"

"2 to 0! Manchester United expanded their lead!"

"Although Swansea is strictly guarding against death, Manchester United scored a goal through two free kicks!"

"Kintag's team told everyone with their actual performance-Manchester United is unstoppable!"

After Manchester United expanded the score, the first half ended quickly.The Red Devils soldiers returned to the locker room with joy on their faces.

In the locker room, Kintag praised the team's performance, but not the two goals he praised.

"Guys, you are more and more mature! I won't exaggerate those two goals. They are the results of your usual training, and I am not surprised at all."

"What I admire is that in the first 30 minutes of the first half, despite the dense defense, you have never been impatient or anxious. Instead, you played steadily and looked for opportunities. This is the attitude we should have when facing dense defense! "

"Swansea will definitely adjust their tactics in the second half. After two goals behind, they will no longer hide and defend. Your defensive pressure will be greater. Don't be careless. There are no underdogs in the Premier League!"

When the second half started, Swansea's tactics really changed.Their formation changed from 5-4-1 in the first half to 4-3-3. Two forwards were replaced. It seems that they will attack in the second half.

But for Kintag, the last thing his team likes to shoot is offense!
Only when the opponent presses out can their quick counterattack tactics be brought into full play.

At the beginning of the second half, Griezmann scored again.

"Manchester United's frontcourt cooperation! The Swansea defense line stirred up by Salah is booming!"

"Pass the ball to the middle! Griezmann dunked lightly and volleyed from the far corner! The ball went in!!!"

"3 to 0! Manchester United's game is stable!"

Seeing that the third goal was scored, Jin Taige was completely relieved. He stood up and celebrated the goal with a smile, and turned to Scholes: "Even intensive defensive tactics can't stop us from scoring goals. !"
