Grass roots glory

Chapter 907 Consequentialist

The pace of the two sides was very fast, but until the end of the first half, only goalkeeper De Gea was relatively idle on Manchester United's side, and there were not a few impressive performances.

In the first half, Manchester United and Roma scored 2:6, and were at a disadvantage most of the time. De Gea's leisure was entirely due to Zhou Tiancheng contracting all the bright spots on Manchester United's side.

Some people are very satisfied, because Zhou Tiancheng performed well in his first show, because Manchester United made the most important transfer, and now it has proved to be the most successful transfer.

But back in the locker room, Van Gaal had a serious face. Even if Zhou Tiancheng performed reliably, this was not the football he wanted.

Instead of reprimanding the players, he emphasized to everyone: "Their defense is very tight. Reduce long passes in the second half and be smart. Don't continue this low-efficiency attack. Everyone move in the second half, move! Follow Zhou's rhythm, around their penalty area, the space needs to be widened, and everyone must participate in the offensive and defensive transition at the first time! Control the ball under your feet and press their penalty area as fast as possible. Zhou, I need you Do everything you can to be around the box. I put you in this position and need you to jump in and tear up their defense. You have protected our goal well, but that is not what I want you to do. thing. Do you understand?"

Zhou Tiancheng pinched his nose, hesitated for a while and finally said, "Boss, I...do my best."

In fact, he really wanted to say in his heart—adding another job and getting the same effect, why don't you try it?
Tremendous stress.

Van Gaal stared at Zhou Tiancheng for a few seconds, then turned his head and scanned the entire dressing room, and finally said: "From now on, you all have to be clear that if we want to return to the Champions League next season, we will The way we play should be attacking! Attacking! attacking! The way Manchester United should play aggressive football, defending and counterattacking, that's just a coward's back-and-forth."

The tactics Van Gaal coached during Bayern's period sometimes felt inexplicable, overly aggressive, and unnecessary risks.Of course, Bayern's perfect lineup configuration can support all his ideas, there is nothing wrong with it.But the current Manchester United team is almost meaningless to be honest.

Zhou Tiancheng still lacks Scholes by his side.

He played hard in the first half, and someone like Rooney was even more depressed, hardly getting any chances in the half.

Rooney walked up to Zhou Tiancheng, spread his hands deliberately and asked, "Zhou, as you said, I have been standing in the restricted area waiting for you!"

Zhou Tiancheng was wiping the sweat from his head wrapped in a towel, when he heard Rooney's words, he stopped and looked at him seriously.

He stared at Rooney seriously for ten seconds, and the latter's hidden smile did not deceive his eyes, so Zhou Tiancheng replied with a smile: "Don't come to me, go to Luni, I'm still in the middle of the game." Fucking depressed."

Rooney laughed: "I thought there was really nothing you couldn't do."

Then he saw Zhou Tiancheng turned his head and looked at him seriously, and quickly coughed to explain: "That... Zhou, I didn't mean that, I will still be in the penalty area in the second half, as long as you have a chance, just pass at my feet. That The idiot actually put you in this position."

Zhou Tiancheng quickly turned around and looked around, and kindly persuaded: "Shh, keep your voice down, after all, he is not just the head coach here, we all have to call him the boss, you, a native of the Premier League, know better than me, I heard that." Not good."

Rooney chuckled: "I've never heard you call him. He is indeed famous, but now I think he is not much better than Ryan. Zhou, if you came a few years ago when Sir Alex Ferguson was still here, You're going to be the luckiest. You don't see anybody yelling like that in the locker room."

As one of the current spiritual leaders of Manchester United, Rooney was already dissatisfied. Zhou Tiancheng patted him on the shoulder when he saw that his topic was getting farther and farther away: "Okay, fat, since you asked me to call you that, I will follow you." You just say, we are just players, aren’t we? It’s not up to us to decide who to coach the team. Moreover, if the head coach’s temper can affect our mood and performance on the field, it’s too bad… But Thank you for reminding me."

"Zhou..." Rooney yelled suddenly, Zhou Tiancheng turned his head, and immediately asked, "I have never been in contact with it. Are all Chinese players like you?"

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and smiled twice: "If you mean technology, I can have this confidence. You have only met me, and that already explains everything. If you want to talk about other things, haha."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled, Rooney also smiled, and nodded slightly.

……

范加尔在下半场换第二套阵型，从3-5-2改踢3-4-3，范加尔把贾努扎伊排到了靠近边路的位置，周天成和胡安·马塔靠近中场中路。

The effect was immediate. When Zhou Tiancheng got the ball, he could always find the weaker side of Manchester United's defense. He passed diagonally to Di Maria many times. Roma's right-back, England veteran Ashley Cole was repeatedly caught by the side. break through.

Manchester United's winning goal came from this side's superior attack. Zhou Tiancheng passed diagonally along the penalty area line to Di Maria, who was actively running, and then inserted to the top of the penalty area, receiving Di Maria's inverted triangle On the return pass, Zhou Tiancheng raised his leg on the penalty area line, and deceived Roma veteran De Rossi with a realistic shot fake action, and then keenly found the space on the other side of the penalty area. victory.

After winning his first game in charge of the team, Van Gaal changed his seriousness on the bench for most of the time, standing on the sidelines and high-fiving the players who walked off the field one by one.

The players responded with little enthusiasm, but Van Gaal was not at all embarrassed.In the post-match press conference, facing reporters’ doubts about his tactics, Van Gaal didn’t think there was any problem at all, and answered without hesitation: “I haven’t fully familiarized myself with the players, but in this game I have found Without the real core, there will be no perfect game before the start of the season, so this game does not have any problems in my opinion...Formation? We will find out in the shortest possible time, at least the team played in the second half as we should The strength...my expression on the sideline? That only shows that we still have a lot to do before the season, but as the game runs in, I believe these will not be problems. I have full confidence in my players."

It sounds fine, but anyone who knows Van Gaal understands that he is a resultist. Of course, he got off to a good start in his first show, and there is really no way to find too many faults with him.

But many reporters and fans are not at ease with the team.

For a resultant, the result is everything, but if he fails to meet his expectations, everyone will wait and see what Van Gaal will say at that time.

For a whole season, no one can win continuously...
