Chapter 412 2017 United States Tour

On July 7, everything that should come has come.

All kinds of official announcements, all kinds of welcome.

Immediately afterwards, it is to enter the training and enter the state of combat readiness.

All teams are starting to work hard for the new season.

Those without reinforcements looked at their competitors, stared at those players who fit their own technical and tactical style of play, and discussed with their own wallets.

Those who have been strengthened are doing the same thing. After all, others are advancing, and if you stay where you are, you will be retreating.

The huge investment promised by San Dezi has not yet been fulfilled, but the fans' attention has been focused on Matic and Lindelof.

Especially the latter, can it greatly strengthen Manchester United's defense?

In contrast, Pogba's departure did not make the fans sad, after all, they have long been used to it.

Without this savior, we still won all the championships!

Because we have Ye Tian!
With such confidence and pride, Manchester United embarked on the 2017 US Tour.

The first stop was Los Angeles. They arrived on July 7th, followed by 10 days of restorative training at UCLA. On the 5th, at 16:10 am, they played the first game of the American tour with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Mourinho may want Matic and Lindelof to understand the tacit understanding and playing style of these Manchester United players last season. He didn't let Lindelof and Matic start, and he didn't even play Ye Tian. .

He arranged a 3-5-2 formation, starting goalkeeper De Gea, defender Jones, Smalling, Blind, midfielder Valencia, Herrera, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Risk Mata, Rashford.

After the game started, the Los Angeles Galaxy obviously had a great deal with this group of players in terms of strength.

In the first 2 minutes of the game, Manchester United made a steal from the left by Lingard, passed the risk to Rashford, and scored easily, 1-0.
Rashford was very active, and there was a wonderful pass in the 10th minute of the game.

However, other Manchester United players are not in the state.

In the 19th minute, Carrick intercepted the ball in the frontcourt of Manchester United, and immediately passed Mata to Rashford, and made another victory, 2-0.
Immediately afterwards, Lingard hit the wall on the left and got off the bottom line, and made an inverted triangle pass to Fellaini, who followed up in the middle, and it was done overnight, 3-0.
It seems that Lingard has not been abandoned in the past time, and he is still training hard.

After that, Manchester United has been suppressing their opponents and frequently creating threats in front of the goal. The brave Rashford also made two more shots, but did not score again.

The first half is over.

At the beginning of the second half, the two teams began to make a large number of substitutions.

Lindelof, Matic and McTominay all played, and Ye Tian continued to sit on the sidelines.

In this game, Matic proved himself to be a mature player, plug and play.

Put him in midfield and it's going to be hard for the LA Galaxy to get through.As a result, Mourinho started to change again, Fellaini and Herrera all went down, leaving only Matic as a defensive player in the midfield.He wanted to see how much energy Matic still has now.

Facts have proved that Matic is very competent.

Even if there is only one person, even if his movement speed is not so fast, but against the LA Galaxy, his defensive coverage area still makes the opponent feel desperate!
This led to Lindelof behind him having little chance to perform.

On offense, Martial seized a chance and hit a long shot, 4-0.
Damian, who played in the second half, also created a single chance for Martial, but he didn't grasp it.

After Mkhitaryan scored another goal, Mourinho reminded the players on the field that it was time to give the American owners some face.

As a result, the Manchester United players who hadn't been running at full speed, ran a little slower on the field.

This gives the LA Galaxy some chances.

They took those chances and scored two goals.

At the end, Manchester United 5-2 Los Angeles Galaxy, the first warm-up match ended.

In this warm-up match, in addition to the warm-up, Mourinho confirmed Matic's energy, but it is a pity that it is difficult for the Los Angeles Galaxy to break into Manchester United's backcourt, and Lindelof has not been tested.

After Los Angeles, they came to Salt Lake City, where their second warm-up match opponent, Real Salt Lake City, was waiting.

In this game, Mourinho arranged a 4-3-3 formation, goalkeeper Pereira, left back Blind, center back Jones and Lindelof combination, right back Mensah, end Carrick, Ye Tianhe McTominay, strikers Lingard, Rashford and Mkhitaryan.

In the second minute of the game, Lingard scored a goal, but was ruled offside.

In the 16th minute, Mensa made a forward pass from the right, and there were no teammates in the center.

In the 18th minute, there was a dangerous situation in front of Manchester United's goal, but Lingard followed all the way, stuck the opponent to death, and defended the ball.

In the 22nd minute, Salt Lake City played a through pass from the left, tearing through Manchester United's defense and scoring the first goal of the game.

The goal spurred Manchester United to take the game seriously.

In the 25th minute, Ye Tian and Rashford switched positions. After receiving a long pass from Carrick, Ye Tian scored a goal for Mkhitaryan at the front of the penalty area, and the latter scored an equalizer.

Immediately afterwards, a tacit pass between Lingard and Ye Tian in the frontcourt gave Rashford another excellent opportunity, and Manchester United overtook.

McTominay showed his worth in the 30th minute.

After a pass, he gave the ball to Ye Tian, ​​and then received a pass from Ye Tian to Rashford, who scored an empty goal in front of the goal. 3-1.
In the second half, Manchester United began to make large-scale substitutions.

In the finale, Ye Tian and Carrick went off, Matic and Fellaini came on, and on the back line, Valencia also replaced Mensah.

However, soon, Valencia got a red card for kicking someone in the back and went to the locker room to rest first.

Manchester United seemed very passive after he was sent off, but, under the protection of Fellaini, Matic and McTominay, and Lindelof, they still cling to the score of 3-1 after all.

In this game, Matic, McTominay, and Lindelof all had good statistics, and the hearts of Manchester United fans were relieved.

Of course, at present, the opponents they face are relatively weak, and the next three International Champions Cup games will be the real test.

After the game in Salt Lake City, Manchester United came to Houston without stopping.

Here, on July 7, will be Manchester United's first overseas derby.

Guardiola's Manchester City, which has spent 2.2 million euros, is already waiting here.

However, their 2.2 million has been reported so far, only striker Silva and goalkeeper Ederson.

Ederson is obviously used to replace the Regent Bravo, and Silva scored 58 goals and 11 assists in 12 games last season, obviously used to continue to assist Aguero with Sane.

These two, who together cost Manchester City 9000 million euros, are their two most important signings.

This warm-up match with Manchester United is also their first opportunity to test this expense!
