heir to the red devil

Chapter 96 Dilemma
Southampton beat Manchester United 1-0 away, taking 3 points from Old Trafford and returning victorious.At the post-match press conference, Jin Taige tried his best to defend his disciples, and transferred all criticism of the players from the outside world to the impact of the FIFA virus.On the training ground the next day, Kintag asked the players to forget the loss in the last league game, and quickly adjusted their state and recovered their physical strength to meet the UEFA Champions League group stage three days later.

In this game, Jin Taige definitely can't win!

The current situation in the UEFA Champions League group stage is very delicate. After the end of the two UEFA Champions League group matches, Manchester United and Shakhtar Donetsk have the same 4 points, ranking first in the group. Three, Royal Sociedad lost both games, and the points are at the bottom.

In the next two rounds of the Champions League group stage, Kintag will face two back-to-back matches with Real Sociedad. The strength of the Real Sociedad in this group is relatively weak, so Kintag is determined to win the 6 points.

On October 10, Manchester United faced Real Sociedad at Old Trafford.

Today Kintag's starting lineup is full of attacking lines, 4-4-2, the goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense line is Vidic, Smalling, Alonso and Rafael; the midfielder is Kanter and Giger Adams partnered in the middle, with Mahrez and Valencia on both sides, and a fixed combination of Van Persie and Rooney on the front line. The 7 substitute players are Alisson, Evra, Jones, Ashley Young, Shinji Kagawa, Icardi and Martial.

Today, Kintag told the players to attack with all their strength, press boldly on the side, and Kanter do a good job in defense.

Before going on the court, Kintag specifically asked several defensive players to pay attention to the opponent's No. [-] player-Antoine Griezmann.

今天皇家社会排出的是一个4-3-2-1阵型，4个后卫加3名后腰的组合，他们摆明了想要在老特拉福德球场死守，争取带走1个积分回西班牙。

But Jin Taige will not let them get what they want. He has only one goal, which is to win the game and get three points.

So at the beginning, Manchester United players bombarded Real Sociedad's goal indiscriminately.

There are no star players in this Real Sociedad team. The most eye-catching player in their entire team is the 22-year-old French striker Griezmann. He scored 10 goals in La Liga last season. The top scorer in the league, the team was able to finally reach the Champions League, thanks to Griezmann.

In this game, Real Sociedad only left one outstanding point, which is Griezmann. Every time the backcourt got the ball, they all went directly to Griezmann in the frontcourt, and then one or two more Players cover, and Griezmann completes the final shot.Although Real Sociedad doesn't have many chances, every time Griezmann gets the ball, he can pose a big threat.As long as Griezmann got the ball, Kintag stood up nervously, came to the sidelines, and observed the situation on the field.

There are not many opportunities for Real Sociedad, but there are many opportunities for Manchester United.The powerful offensive combination in the midfield was so suppressed that Real Sociedad couldn't hold its head up.Because Real Sociedad arranged 7 defensive players in the backcourt, the first half of this game seemed to be Manchester United's half-time attack drill.Van Persie and Rooney got many chances to shoot, while Mahrez and Valencia on both sides also fed cakes continuously, and even Giggs also had two long-range shots.

Today's BT Sport football commentators are busy people.

"Kante steals the ball from the back. He passes the ball to the right and Valencia takes it close to the baseline. Cross! Van Persie's header! The ball goes wide."

"Giggs had the ball in a small area, got away from two Real Sociedad players in the middle, and he passed the ball into the box. Rooney got the ball in the box, turned and hit the goal! The angle was too square, and the goalkeeper was tight. Hold on."

"Mahrez chose to cut inside this time. He passed the ball horizontally to Giggs, and Giggs shot angrily at the ball! The goalkeeper was extremely fast and flew the ball over the crossbar!"

"Let's take a look at the chance of this corner kick. The ball was penalized in the middle of the penalty area! The goalkeeper attacked and sent the ball flying! Manchester United came back without success again!"

Throughout the first half, Kintegger's team dominated Real Sociedad but failed to score. Real Sociedad's goalkeeper Bravo was like a godsend, blocking all of Manchester United's threatening attacks.

Seeing the brave Bravo on the field, Kintag knew his strength very well.

Born in 1983, Chilean goalkeeper Bravo has played for Real Sociedad for 7 years, and he has always been the most stable presence in front of Real Sociedad.Kintag recalled the parallel world of later generations. Bravo's brave performance in the 2014 World Cup kept Chile from breaking out of the death group. His performance was highly praised by professionals.After the World Cup, he was poached by Barcelona, ​​and was brought to the Premier League Manchester City by Guardiola two years later.Although Bravo's current reputation is not very great, he definitely has the strength of a world-class goalkeeper.

Seeing this game, Jin Taige immediately understood the routine of the Royal Society.Bravo defends at the back, Griezmann raids at the front, and the overall cooperation of other players is also very good. Although there are no big-name players in such a team, and there are no players with outstanding technical characteristics in various positions, the overall play The method is excellent.

Therefore, until the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.The Manchester United players returned to the locker room with unwillingness and regret. They encountered difficulties.

During the intermission, Jin Taige praised the team's performance, and then told the players to continue to attack with all their strength in the second half and must win the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Jin Taige made substitution adjustments.

After this period of competition, Jin Taige really has a love-hate relationship with Nani.When Nani is in good form, there is no one on the right that can stop him. He can break through, lead, pass, and shoot. He is simply the second Ronaldo; After the little sheep, no one can pass, the shot will fly, and the pass will not be aimed, which makes Jin Taige a headache.

In the last game against Southampton, although Nani was closely marked by Luke Shaw, his performance was very good, but Luke Shaw was more eye-catching.

But today, Nani has become a lamb again. He has nothing to do against the iron barrel formation of Real Sociedad. As long as the opponent's two defenders go up and grab the ball, Nani will definitely lose the ball at his feet.Because of this, many offensive opportunities were lost in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Kintag replaced Nani with the more impactful Martial, allowing him to push forward on the right and stir up the Royal Sociedad defense.

It didn't take long for Jin Taige's substitution to have an effect.
