Chapter 468 Defense Organization
Compared with the Manchester City in the pre-season warm-up match, the current Manchester City has well-organized personnel, skilled cooperation, and is full of confidence.

Guardiola's team seems to be able to train players better than Mourinho's team.

Sane was still a young player last season, and now he is full of confidence in taking the ball and breaking through on the court.

With D. Silva's return from injury, the only doubt in Manchester City's starting lineup is the appearance of Aguero and Heat Susu. Considering that Manchester United will spare no effort to use Ye Tian to promote midfield strangling, Aguero Queiro's ball will not be too efficient in hand-to-hand combat. In this game, Guardiola let Jesus start.

And the threatening ball just now, Jesus' off-ball movement, the tacit understanding with Sane, and the high-position rotation with D. Silva are all key links that contributed to this attack.

As the core of Manchester United's offensive and defensive organization, Ye Tian needs to quickly understand the opponent's offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

Because you understand the opponent's offensive routines, you can organize your own defense accordingly, and if you understand the opponent's defensive routines, you can make offensive adjustments accordingly.

And through recent observations, Ye Tian also basically understood Manchester City's routine.

In the frontcourt, Sane and Sterling opened up the two sides to create width, and in the backcourt, the two fullbacks opened up. When attacking, the center will be relatively open, and De Bruyne and D. Silva will be more relaxed processing ball space.

The long passing ability of these two will limit Manchester United to get together and press.

Manchester City's defense starts from the midfield.

They gave up the known pressing in the frontcourt and began to interfere with the advancement of the ball holder behind the center line.

In the "7-second counter-grab" stage when switching from defense to offense, it is their toughest time.

D. Silva, who was called "the most versatile Spanish player" by Aragones, completed tough interceptions and steals many times, cutting off Manchester United's quick counterattack.

This basic combination of offense and defense, the problem is that the offensive space of the two full-backs is compressed by the two wingers.Of course, it may be that Guardiola deliberately reduced Walker and Duffy's assists in order to prevent Manchester United's quick counterattack, but this will leave Sterling and Sane without sufficient support after getting the ball from the wing.

Manchester United can create a trap, let the ball go to the wing, and then contain Sterling or Sane at the first time, and carry out a pincer attack.

After Ye Tian made up his mind, he gestured to ask his two full-backs to pay attention to intercepting from the side, and to surround them with the midfielder.

Containing manpower is of course two wingers, and two of the three midfielders.

Manchester City didn't know that Ye Tian had prepared a trap to deal with them. De Bruyne caught a glimpse of Sterling's space on the left in the middle circle, and came over with a long diagonal pass.

Valencia quickly ran from the middle position to Sterling who was receiving the ball.

He didn't steal the ball, he just blocked Sterling's route.

For a veteran defender like Valencia, he will not try to block all the routes, but will open a route for the opponent to break through.

Of course, this line will lead to a dead end.

Of course, Sterling knew that it was pointless to break through in the direction vacated by Valencia, but he could not find opportunities in other directions, and could only hope that other opportunities would appear again on the move.

When he started to take two steps forward along the route designed by Valencia, and Valencia was still able to tightly block all other angles, Sterling was a little surprised.

This discrepancy was quickly answered.

On the side in the direction of his advance, Matic has been overwhelmed.

Sterling knew that he was going to be besieged.

But at this time, there is no protection from his teammates behind him, but Jesus continues to move forward and can approach the middle.

or……

Sterling smashes the ball and then shields it.

He expects the opponent to make a mistake, or his teammates to come and respond.

D. Silva is running over to meet him.

In double teams, one person is mainly responsible for blocking the way, and the other person is mainly responsible for stealing.

In training, this division of labor has long been clear. Valencia is mainly in the way, and Matic is also responsible for steals in addition to blocking the way.

Therefore, Valencia did not step out to steal the ball, and Sterling did not wait until he wanted the opponent to make a mistake.

Matic is already close at hand.

Sterling decides to pass the ball to D. Silva.

When he passed the ball, he regretted it.

Because he was surrounded, his sight was blocked, and he only saw his teammates, but he didn't see the red figure staring at his side.

Ye Tian's successful interception.

Opportunity for Manchester United to fight back.

In the frontcourt, Ibrahimovic, Lingard and Rashford were already running, and Ye Tian saw a chance for Lingard, who was in good form recently.

Taking two steps forward, pulling out the distance from D. Silva, Ye Tian swung his right foot up, ready to make a long pass.

But when he swung his leg, D. Silva had already run over from behind him again, while he was on the ground with one foot, from behind, slightly sideways, a sliding shovel!
Ye Tian fell to the ground with his ankles in his arms, his face full of pain!

This time, Matic, who was closest to Ye Tian, ​​was dumbfounded.

The schedule is less than half, and the Champions League has just qualified. Ye Tian is the one who is indispensable for Manchester United on the way forward!
After the Old Trafford Stadium fell into a brief silence, a violent roar broke out!

Oliver had already run over, with Herrera beside him demanding a red card.

Ibrahimovic stood still and looked around without moving. Lingard and Rashford had rushed back from the frontcourt.

Valencia and Smalling were already standing next to D. Silva, chattering. Of course, neither of them did anything. The intention of the chattering was to make D. Silva unable to resist. Come on, the red card is completely certain.

Oliver didn't let the situation escalate. After showing a yellow card to D. Silva quickly, he asked Ye Tian about his injury.

D. Silva raised his hands, indicating that he had been punished by the referee, and he slowly walked towards his teammates.

Lingard and Rashford are still by his side, thinking that he should end up with a red card.

Moreover, Lingard is still speaking harshly, of course, they have not done anything now.

The referee blew his whistle again to warn the two young men, and called the captains of both sides, asking them to restrain their players.

Mourinho was standing on the sidelines, his face was also very anxious.

If Ye Tian gets injured, although Manchester United will not immediately become a second-tier team, there is no doubt that its overall strength will drop by a level.

That's the pain and joy of having a superstar on the team.

Ye Tian on the field had already stood up.Called both Lingard and Master La.

"What are you doing here! The chance to attack with a free kick is gone! Let Zlatan compete with them for speed?"

The two looked at Ye Tian and jumped a few times, as if there was no problem at all, and they were relieved.Lingard felt aggrieved and said, "Isn't this worrying about you?"

"You have to believe me, this level will not hurt me! It's a pity that there is no red card. It seems that I touched the ball first?"

Lingard was stunned: "Brother Tian, ​​did you do it on purpose?"

"Bah! Show me one on purpose!" Ye Tian knocked on his head, and then said: "However, since you are all here, I have an idea, later..."

The two nodded while listening, and ran to the front field after listening to Ye Tian's face-to-face instructions.

When Lingard passed by D. Silva, he still squinted at D. Silva, with a look of trying to move me.

Behind the ball, Ye Tian called Matic again, said a few words forcefully, and then walked towards the center of the circle.

They have to play a free kick in the backcourt to cooperate with the attack.

　Dichlorvos: Don't pay too much attention to other people's eyes, they don't take you seriously at all.
