Chapter 767 On How to Break the Barrel Formation

April 9, Old Trafford.

A player who looked a little chubby rushed towards the visiting team stand, tearing his jersey on his chest, and the visiting team fans responded with crazy shouts.

Pochettino shook his head on the sidelines. He regretted a bit. After Ferdinand, Evans, and Michael Keane left, only one Rojo was added in the summer, and the Argentine defender had to take on the left back's substitute...

In this game, Rojo was shoveled by Pogba and has not recovered yet, while Phil Jones has a minor injury, and Pochettino can only send Smalling. Trafford took the lead.

The terrible thing is that the game time is now at the end of the first half.

Sun Wu is also a bit regretful. He paid too much attention to the giants in the Champions League some time ago, but he didn't find this guy after doing his homework yesterday... the legendary "porter" Charlie Austin.

Hey, the name Austin is too common, and the public didn't recall it until Sun Wu.

The little fan who took a photo with the Chelsea captain eight years ago did not give up his dream even when he was a porter, and finally his dream came true this season... Now Sun Wu certainly remembers that the striker's league goals this season should exceed 20.

The head coach of Queens Park Rangers is the old coach Redknapp. The tactics he adopts are very targeted. The midfielder arranges a three-back midfielder formation to firmly mark Sun Wu, and the backcourt is impenetrable defense. The winger sent the ball into the penalty area as soon as he had a chance, and center Austin kept attacking Manchester United's defense.

In this way, in the 45th minute, Smalling made a clearance error, and Austin shot past De Gea's ten fingers.

in the locker room.

Pochettino, Sun Wu, Mike Phelan and others stood in front of the tactical board, while other players were receiving massages or eating some snacks to replenish their energy.

Although they are behind, the Manchester United players are confident to win the game. The temporary lag will only make them more motivated.

"The running in the frontcourt is a bit chaotic." Jesús pointed out the key problem, "Thomas Muller was the latest to return to the team, and later he was injured and basically did not participate in joint training. He played a League Cup and went to the national team. "

Sun Wu also nodded in agreement, "Griezmann suffered a minor injury in the national team competition, Lukaku and Mane are new players, and Thomas is not familiar with them, which leads to a bit of chaos in the frontcourt. Of course, this It has to do with Redknapp's tactical choices."

Pochettino calculated in his mind, raised his hand and moved the No. 13 pawn to the center, then moved the No. 7 pawn slightly to the left, and moved the No. 26 pawn to the right.

Sun Wu said with a smile: "It's a way to make Thomas closer to the goal. Milner is a winger who can send crosses, but he is a bit weak defensively."

"Best, don't you have confidence?"

Sun Wu smiled and said nothing. This season, Manchester United will definitely encounter a lot of iron barrel formations. Today is a good opportunity to experiment.

"Manchester United trailed 0-1 at home. This score is a little surprising." Zhan Jun coughed twice, "Of course, there is still half the game."

"Lao Lei's formation is still very good, and he has used his limited strength to the extreme." Zhang Lu commented: "Next, it depends on how Pochettino or Sun Wu adjusts, and it also depends on QPR's performance. Can't stand it..."

"There were no substitutions on both sides..." Zhan Jun immediately noticed the change, "However, it was not Lukaku who kicked off in the middle circle, but Thomas Muller."

Only 2 minutes into the second half, Manchester United, who did not make any substitutions but made changes, threatened the opponent's goal. Sun Wu and Coleman, Alderweireld, and Schneiderlin made successive passes that were pleasing to the eye, and then Sun Wu sent a cross With the ball, Milner made a 45-degree cross from the right.

Neither Lukaku nor the opponent's defender touched the ball at the previous point. After the ball bounced off the ground, it passed the goalkeeper Green, and Thomas Muller flew to the top!

"Ooh...Thomas, beam!"

"Unlucky German!"

Thomas Muller gave Milner a thumbs up before he got up, and Sun Wu, who watched this scene from a distance, was a little bit sorry. If the goal was scored, the second half would be much easier.

Sure enough, the old Redknapp on the sidelines loudly commanded the whole team to return to the defense, and even Austin returned to the defense within the 40-meter area, which made Manchester United's frontcourt attack a bit stagnant.

"What is Best doing!" Jesús growled angrily, "Pogba is gone!"

"He spent the entire summer training camp thinking about attacking in the frontcourt, but now he is shrinking back!" Miguel muttered unhappily, "He still wants to score 20 goals this season!?"

Mike Phelan took a deep breath and was about to shout, but Pochettino stopped him... The whole team was already pressing, but Sun Wu not only retreated by himself, but also directed Coleman to retreat slightly closer to him.

This detail change made Pochettino's heart move, and he decided to take another look.

How to break the iron barrel formation is a worldwide problem for all giants, not to mention the brutal and loose penalty standards in the Premier League.

There are two types of methods.

The first category is luck. An unsolvable world wave, a long-range change of line, or a fatal mistake by the opponent's defender all have elements of luck.

The second category is changes, such as Barcelona's sudden change of rhythm after a long period of hypnosis with the ball, and changes brought about by breakthroughs like Messi and Hazard.

Sun Wu chose the second option. It is difficult for Manchester United to play the effect of rhythm change. After all, Mane, Lukaku, and Milner in the frontcourt are all rookies, and there is a problem with their tacit understanding; Not bold enough, and he hasn't learned to take full advantage of his speed.

So Sun Wu chose another change.

The home fans never stopped their shouts, singing, waving flags, and holding up scarves appeared in the TV broadcast from time to time.

Old Redknapp looked at Sun Wu, who was slowly organizing an attack, and already had a bad feeling in his heart... Isn't he in a hurry to attack when he is behind?If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Sun Wu's eyes fell on Luke Shaw. The young left-back who scored the first Premier League goal of this season has been well received recently. He has strong running ability up and down, sharp assists, and excellent crossing. Mane on one side has become the main direction of Manchester United's attack during this period.

"Sun Wu... cooperated continuously, the ball was sent to the left, and Luke Xiao came up!"

"Oh, Mane cuts...a direct pass, Lukaku's shot was blocked!"

"Also!" Zhan Jun spoke so fast that Zhang Lu couldn't get in his mouth, "Luke Xiao shot directly from a small angle!"

"boom!"

"The goal post rejected Luke Shaw!" Zhan Jun said regretfully: "Manchester United is not very lucky today."

Although the left was frequently broken through, the old Redknapp's eyes fell on Coleman on the other side. The Irish full-back seemed to have not advanced for a while, and Best always sent the ball away. to the left...

Sun Wu glanced at the old Redknapp who was yelling. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he could guess what he was doing.

In the 67th minute, Sun Wu finally sent the ball to the right after a series of cooperation in the midfield.

And Coleman finally, after a period of silence, went forward again at high speed to get the ball.

The old Redknapp breathed a sigh of relief, the team's defensive formation has not been pulled apart, at least there are no obvious loopholes.

But the next moment, Lao Lei's eyes were flustered, and his eyes were flying around the field. He couldn't find Best!
