Chapter 272 Trying
"Are you really going to do that? We could have brought in Fletcher, or we could have brought in Ryan Giggs and pulled Richardson at full-back."

Although Ferguson had a bolder idea in his heart, he did not act arbitrarily but discussed it with his coaching team.

After hearing Ferguson's ideas, Queiroz was the first to disagree.

First of all, Fletcher can not only play midfield, but also the right back and center back positions, and he has also performed well.Secondly, even if Fletcher is not allowed to play in order to consider the thickness of the bench, Richardson can be played as a right back.Besides, Richardson himself was born as a defender, but he was transformed into an attacking midfielder this season.

"Carlos, I understand what you said!" Seeing his assistant's objection, Ferguson frowned, and instead of being angry, he explained patiently there, "But I think you haven't fully understood my point yet. Meaning. First of all, Fletcher is a supplementary player, you should not object!" Seeing Queiroz nodded, Ferguson continued, "Richardson is an excellent full-back, but Gabriel No, he's got good pace, he's aggressive, but as a full-back he's average in assists and gets out of position a lot."

Queiroz kept nodding while listening, and what Ferguson said was very reasonable.

Heinze is indeed not the first choice of a full-back, which is why he did not get more opportunities at Manchester United this season.

And pulling to the position of central defender, the defensive awareness and sense of position are relatively poor, and it is not a good choice.

In the first few games, he was pushed to the central defender position as a last resort.

"But he's a very good addition on the bench! I'm not thinking about this game, but about the Champions League against AC Milan in the middle of next week. Gabriel plus Darren, then we'll be at the back. There will be two powerful additions!"

"But this can't make up for Yu Liang's shortcomings! First, he has never played as a central defender. Second, without air defense and confrontation, he will become the opponent's breakthrough point!"

Yes, Ferguson's bold idea is to play Yu Liang back as a central defender, partnering with Brown.

"Yes, he has never played as a central defender, nor does he have height and confrontation. But this cannot deny him. You must know that Fabio has just won the World Footballer!"

Ferguson looked at Queiroz and laughed.

Of course he knew Yu Liang's lack of height and lack of confrontation, but he believed that Yu Liang could make up for these two shortcomings through his sense of position and defensive awareness.

This is also the reason why he had such an idea.

Queiroz looked at Ferguson with a bitter smile.

"Don't worry, I won't make fun of the game!"

Now that Ferguson has said so, Queiroz has no objection.

Looking at Yu Liang who was sitting on the stool, Queiroz sighed secretly: "What luck!"

Yu Liang, who was sitting on the stool at the moment, had no idea what Ferguson and Queiroz were discussing.He just felt that through the first half of the game, his chances of playing in this game were already slim, because Karica's performance was very good.

"Yu!"

But just as his thoughts appeared, he heard a shout, and turned around to see Ferguson waving at him.

He immediately walked up to Ferguson, "Boss, you are looking for me!"

Yu Liang didn't know what Ferguson asked him for, but after listening to it, he still felt a little unbelievable.

Playing as a central defender?Ferguson was right!

Scratching the back of his head, Yu Liang glanced at Ferguson.

"Is there a problem?"

Ferguson not only talked about the position with Yu Liang, but also explained in detail what a central defender should do in the game, and at the same time explained the tactical arrangement for the second half.But after saying this, seeing Yu Liang's dubious expression, he immediately frowned.

Seeing Ferguson frowned, Yu Liang immediately replied affirmatively: "No! No problem!"

Seeing Yu Liang's affirmative answer, Ferguson gave a hum, called the players together, and began to make some minor tactical adjustments.

When Ferguson finished speaking, the intermission time was over.

When Yu Liang walked out of the locker room, Ferguson patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on!"

"come on!"

With the expectation of Ferguson, Yu Liang stepped onto the field.

"The game started in the second half. The first half was tied 1-1. Manchester United player Ferdinand was injured in the final stage of the first half. We saw that Manchester United made substitutions and adjustments. It was Yu... Liang? Ferguson Do you want the Chinese teenager to play as a central defender? Or send Carrick to the central defender position? Oh, no, Yu Liang appeared in the central defender position. This is not to point out the attack for the Middlesbrough players direction?"

The commentator didn't quite understand Ferguson's intention to replace Yu Liang.

Compared with Middlesbrough's two strikers, Yu Liang is not only lacking in height, but also pitiful in confrontation.

Middlesbrough's striker partners in this game are Australian striker Viduka and Nigerian striker Yakubu.

Needless to say, Yakubu has the basic characteristics of African players, with excellent explosive power and strong impact, and his confrontation ability is naturally not a problem.

And what about Viduka?
With a height of 1 meters and a weight of 88 kilograms, he is called the Hulk and the main striker of the Kangaroo Legion.His strong body and super impact are among the best in the Premier League, and they are the capital for him to settle down.Although he is 92 years old now, his threat on the field has not diminished.

After Yu Liang came on the field, Middlesbrough directly put the breakthrough point of attack on him.

Within a few minutes of the opening of the second half, Middlesbrough's offense advanced to Manchester United's half, and then Middlesbrough's wide players directly kicked and passed.

Although Yu Liang made a correct judgment and blocked the ball's landing position in advance, Yu Liang still lost his position under the pressure of Viduka's strong body.

The tall and strong Viduka easily grabbed the ball from Yu Liang.

Seeing that Yu Liang had lost his position, Brown immediately defended him.

Viduka's chest and chest faced the ball a little, and then with his toes, he directly picked Brown who was defending, and then squeezed directly from Brown's side into the penalty area with his body, and volleyed directly against the ball.

Sitting on the bench, Ferguson watched Viduka easily snatch the spot from Yu Liang, and when he picked Brown to finish the shot, he immediately clenched his hands nervously, and at the same time, he couldn't help but speed up his chewing gum.

The noisy stadium immediately became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on that ray of white light...
