Grass roots glory

Chapter 1174

There has never been a team that can climb to the top without going through trials. Even if it is a wealthy family, this is a necessary process if it wants to make a comeback.

Success is the return of the king, failure, maybe all the glory that belongs to the rich is the past tense.

Even Manchester United has to go through this process. With their current performance and configuration, the Champions League is the real test.

Like now.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, did not lose his temper on the field, and still had the ball possession advantage. Rui Faria showed Mourinho a set of real-time statistics.

Manchester United's ball possession rate can reach 58%, and the number of shots is already 6:3. In the opening time of nearly 10 minutes, Manchester United actually played a very fast pace of the game, without any conservative meaning.

"Jose, we actually have the advantage." Rui Faria actually just wanted to explain this, but Mourinho didn't care at all: "Ruy, look, you can see from the scene that we have the advantage." Does it look like it's going to score? How many chances have you created to threaten the goal?"

Rui Faria stopped talking, he did not deny that this is indeed true, but the problem is that it is still early...

It can only be said that what he saw was an opportunity, but Mourinho is different. Although a madman is crazy, he can still see the overall situation at this time.

"The data is just a show that reporters care about, Rui, only the scene can prove everything."

Rui Faria simply put down the tablet and asked him directly: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Same as usual." Mourinho replied, turning his head to the side.

The old way he said refers specifically to not caring about anything after coming to Manchester United, and to wait and see how Zhou Tiancheng behaves-in fact, this has relieved his mania to the greatest extent. It's rare for him to yell at his neck on the sidelines.

Zhou Tiancheng greeted Rooney, Depay and Martial directly on the court.

"Little Fatty, it's not okay to go on like this." Zhou Tiancheng said directly.

"Just tell us what we're going to do, Zhou. I don't want to hear that anymore." Rooney's mood became less stable.This has nothing to do with the situation, England players are like this, they have to vent when they are not happy playing.

Zhou Tiancheng just smiled: "Okay, don't let me see your expression again. You are a chubby, you have to set an example for everyone... Would you like to move your position back? To Anthony and The Grizzlies have room to sprint."

Rooney frowned: "You mean you want me to play as a midfielder? Well, is it the role I played last season?"

If another person came, Rooney would definitely not agree, and he would definitely push back with one sentence - why do I have to make room for the two of them?

Both Depay and Martial showed flattered and ecstatic expressions. They knew what to do. Zhou Tiancheng was encouraging them to maximize their speed.

"Zhou, don't worry, we will do well, but we need the ball."

……

Rooney's position is slightly retreated, which is equivalent to having two midfielders behind the striker.

Such a change made He Wei, the most stable CCTV commentator, couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? Rooney retreats? Is Mourinho's alternative tactic to be no striker? Aha!"

Mourinho is definitely not good at playing without fronts. In the coaching circle of European football, the Spanish coach Del Bosque is the best at playing without fronts. He used no fronts in the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Cup. The team has forged classics, but it is based on the overall style of Spanish football and the fantasy midfield combination of Xavi and Iniesta.

Does Mourinho have this condition?There is neither such a gene nor such a team.Zhou Tiancheng alone cannot play this kind of gorgeous football.

At least on the surface, many commentators would doubt it.

But after the game resumed, what everyone saw was very different from what they imagined.

It's still the same Manchester United, bold, impactful and straightforward.

Rooney runs around Zhou Tiancheng in a wide range, in fact, to attract the surrounding defensive players away, at least to take away the very flexible Marchinhos, and face Thiago Schill, who turns slightly slower Wat, Zhou Tiancheng can use a through ball to hit the back to threaten the opponent's goal.

This is the real threat. The two speed demons cut into the middle, perfectly matching Zhou Tiancheng's rhythm, and everyone reacted.Who said that a Spanish player can play without a striker with the skills of a Spanish player?

Tactics have never been limited, they are used to be applied by players.

After watching Manchester United's operations, they understood why many times what was shown on the scene was completely different from what they expected.

There are no inappropriate tactics, only underqualified players.

But in the eyes of a player of Zhou Tiancheng's level, is this still a problem?
"Zhou Tiancheng, good shot! After receiving Rooney's cross pass, he got rid of it and passed it through! It went through! Beautiful! Depay came in! One-on-one, look at Mingtao, hey——"

He Wei was simply too excited. In one attack, he switched between the players on both ends of the offense and defense in an instant, so that he even added such obvious tone words.

But Mingtao didn't let his excitement go in vain, he attacked faster than Martial, and when he stretched out his foot to touch the ball, Martial had already caught up to him, blocking the kicker. line.

Ming Tao did not choose to pass the ball to Alves who was responding on the wing. Although this may be the safest way, he chose to take advantage of the trend and dunk Martial.

There were exclamations at Old Trafford, and Martial was even a little annoyed, even the goalkeeper confronted him?Don't take yourself seriously?

He stretched out his foot from the other side to steal the ball again, but Ming Tao was very skillful with his feet, and pulled the ball back to the front.At the same time, Martial stepped on a piece of relatively soft turf, lost his footing and slipped.

But in the eyes of the commentators, it is very lively!It looked like Mingtao had knocked Martial down.

"WOW! God, Ming actually has this ability, and the speed of pulling the ball is faster than Martial's sprint!"

"Anthony Martial? Is he a comedian? But this performance is not funny at all, it's a complete mess, ha! Ha!"

Including Manchester United's players on the field, Martial's ability to make quick turns and stops is the strongest in the team, but now...

Rooney quietly pulled Zhou Tiancheng over and asked, "Zhou, do you have something to say? Are you sure your Chinese teammate has never played as a striker?"

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "I don't know about that. I'm not very clear about the past."

Rooney raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Anthony is embarrassing today. This goalkeeper... Are you sure he didn't come to steal the show?"

Zhou Tiancheng spread his hands, whether Ming Tao came to grab the show or not, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that Da Paris is here to grab the show today, which is the most terrible...
