Chapter 908 The new season that Red Devils fans look forward to
The game against Roma seemed to be a good start, and Van Gaal also realized the most suitable tactics for the team after the game.

In the remaining few games of the move to the United States, the media saw that Manchester United's general main frame did not change much.It was almost the same 3-4-3 formation that Van Gaal deployed in the second half of the first game against Roma.

The only difference is that Van Gaal prefers Northern Irish defender Evans in the central defender position. The reason is that the latter has a long-passing footwork that is not bad among British defenders, so even if the first game is defensive The end was criticized by the media, but Van Gaal did not win him.Although he was often dissatisfied with his state during training and proposed to practice alone, but with Van Gaal's temper, if he was really dissatisfied, he would just put it on the bench and hide it.Only players who can get a place in his tactics will be treated in a small way.

The second difference is that the teammates around Zhou Tiancheng have been changing. Spanish internationals Juan Mata and Januzaj have partnered with him in turn. We can see Van Gaal's ambition, 3-4-3 formation, Two small offensive midfielders are deployed to partner with Zhou Tiancheng, which means that they want to form a dual-core midfielder.

But the team followed up with a 1:1 draw with AC Milan in the second game.The biggest problem exposed is that the midfield defense is not thick enough, and the offensive efficiency is not enough.Van Gaal even tried to pull Rooney to the wing, Van Persie or Welbeck to the arrow position.But that obviously doesn't work.Only Di Maria's side can fly. Lu Xiaopang has obviously been a killer in the penalty area all his life. He is not the kind of person who breaks through with sparks and lightning all the way.

This is how Manchester United was equalized in the end. Zhou Tiancheng came to the penalty area to compete for a corner kick and was cleared by the opponent's defender. Juan Mata couldn't stop AC Milan's counterattack at all.

A long pass went directly behind him, and Jiang Hao, who represented the Rossoneri as a substitute for the first time, took advantage of his own advantages and broke through the defense line and scored a single-handed attack.

Before the game, the game was greatly hyped by the Chinese media. From the moment Jiang Hao came off the bench, the painstaking efforts of the Chinese reporters were not in vain.

The upgraded and rich version of the Chinese Derby is also Jiang Hao's first appearance in joining AC Milan.

And this is the only time the two have had the chance to meet each other this season. Whether they will have the chance to meet in the Champions League next season will depend on their next performance.

Zhou Tiancheng watched with a smile as Jiang Hao scored single-handedly, and went up to high-five Jiang Hao: "The first one?"

Jiang Hao grinned and nodded: "Brother Cheng, I never thought I would meet you this time. I still can't understand why you got into Manchester United? If you want to leave, let's go to a better place. With your Ability, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, just nod your head and choose!"

Zhou Tiancheng laughed out loud, "Come on, everyone!"

Immediately after the semi-final against Real Madrid, Van Gaal tried another possibility under the premise of maintaining the formation: Veteran Carrick and Fletcher took turns partnering with Zhou Tiancheng in the two halves, while Juan Mata Then hit the right winger position, Di Maria is on the left.

The effect is not good.The spirituality of the Spanish midfielder is when he appears behind the striker. As for the wing, that is his culprit. He gradually lost his position in Chelsea. The biggest reason is that Mourinho arranged him on the wing, although Mata accepted In interviews with the media, he firmly stated that he has no problem playing wide, but fundamentally speaking, he is a pure passer.

Needless to say, Real Madrid's defensive strength against Zhou Tiancheng, even in a commercial match, as long as they see this person, as long as they are not newcomers, they will hold back their energy and want to win back.

Zhou Tiancheng, who is worth 8000 million euros, and James Rodriguez, who is worth [-] million euros, both got a chance in this game, but Zhou Tiancheng, who is worth more, had the last laugh.

Carrick and Fletcher shared a lot of defensive pressure for him. Although both of them are people with strong organizational attributes, they are destined to make sacrifices in this game. What Van Gaal wants to see is to fully How strong Zhou Tiancheng can be after releasing his offensive ability.

Zhou Tiancheng let him see it.

It was the first time to show his housekeeping skills in front of the Red Devils fans. With two world waves, the Costa Rican goalkeeper Navas, who was once capable of competing for the Golden Glove Award, could only look at the ball and sigh.

Not to mention James, who rose to fame and quickly gained the nickname "J Ronaldo", there are so many Ronaldos in football, even the biggest player in Real Madrid... the Portuguese in La Liga He also gritted his teeth, but looked helpless.

Even if he also scored a goal, what about the highly entertaining volley, Zhou Tiancheng's two unconventional goals over 30 meters are as exciting as they are.

The limelight was suppressed again.

……

Van Gaal's mood is getting better and better. He stands on the sidelines, but the roaring has become less. When the team plays a wonderful match, he claps his hands on the sidelines, pointing to the field, muttering words, rich body Language has become another landscape on the sidelines.

In the second half of this game, Van Gaal has got the most ideal lineup of the current team.

There is no suspense in the middle of the midfield. As for the two wing backs who are slightly defensive in the 3-4-3 formation, from the results of the experiment, England international Ashley Young and Valencia are the best choices.

With such a formation, in the final of the International Champions Cup against Liverpool, Manchester United played the fastest-paced attack since these few appearances.In the early preview of the Premier League double red meeting, Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers gave a rare compliment to the opponent before the game: "We are very lucky to have the opportunity to touch the bottom of Manchester United before the start of the season. They changed to a better manager. Coach, bought perhaps the best player of the day and we will be fighting against the whole of Manchester in the new season."

Regardless of whether Manchester City likes to listen to it or not, at least these words, Rogers directly put Manchester United into the championship sequence.

Of course, Manchester United has to give this face. The same 3:1, Manchester United ended their trip to North America with a pre-season champion.

The direction of public opinion among the Red Devils is also quietly changing, especially after the team came back, the club immediately announced two signings of great concern: Athletic Bilbao midfielder Herrera transferred for 3600 million euros In addition, the club rented Monaco striker Falcao for 600 million euros for one year.

If it weren't for Monaco's refusal to let go, Manchester United would really not be afraid to pay a high price, but just for one year on loan, the worth has reached 600 million euros, which shows the state and strength of the Colombian striker.

"In the new season, Manchester United's goal is to win the championship."

The "Manchester Evening News", known as the mouthpiece of Manchester United, had been silent before, and suddenly stood up and shouted such a voice a week before the official opening of the new season.

The new season that the Red Devils fans are looking forward to, this time everyone not only needs the magnificent pre-season prelude, but also the ups and downs of the process. Of course, the most important thing is that everyone is happy with the result.
