(I wish everyone good health in 2021 and all wishes come true!!!)

After Ashley Young scored the fairy ball and Manchester United ended their celebration, the time for the chicken blood card also came, and it soon disappeared in the savior system.

Ye Su was very disappointed. If the effective time of this card was extended by another ten minutes, he was sure that Manchester United would beat Sunderland.

It's a pity that this card is a one-time consumable, and its effect time is only 20 minutes.

No matter how unwilling he was, the chicken blood technique card disappeared, and Ye Su had no choice but to use the offside tactics card.

Compared with the systems obtained by the protagonists in the novels that Ye Su had read before, the savior system is really very humane. Not only does it not threaten that Ye Su will be punished or even wiped out if he fails to complete the task, but he also created a top-quality system for him. Although the beautiful assistant is the kind that can only be seen but not used, it is at least seductive enough. As for the use of cards, there are not many restrictions except that each game can only use three team cards and three personal cards. Even as long as Ye Su has enough cards, he can change the use of cards at any time. .

Of course, this has no effect on Ye Su now, because now he only has three team cards and three personal cards left in his hand.

In fact, at this time, even if Ye Su had other cards, the probability of him using them was not high. Because after the negative effect of the chicken blood card took effect, most of the Manchester United players had a physical crisis. When Sunderland came back to his senses, Manchester United might be suppressed.

Therefore, what Ye Su needs to do now is to delay Sunderland's discovery of Manchester United's problems on the one hand, and strengthen the defense on the other hand.

The offside tactics card is very helpful to the team's defense. It not only improves the success rate of the team's offside tactics, but also improves the coordination of the defense line. This effect is even better than the improved offside tactics. The success rate is even rarer.

………………

Although many of Manchester United's physical fitness was in crisis, Ye Su did not start changing players as soon as the chicken blood card expired. Now the players are excited because of the excitement brought by consecutive goals, and they can delay for some time.

However, the physical crisis is real after all, especially the frontcourt offensive four-man team, in the past 20 minutes just now, they ran too much, and all of them were high-intensity sprints or confrontations, which consumed a lot of physical energy .

Right on the sidelines, Ye Su had clearly noticed that the footsteps of Mata and the others were very heavy.

In the 70th minute of the game, Ye Su made the first substitution adjustment, and he replaced Mata with Shinji Kagawa.

This is a match-up substitution, and Manchester United's formation and tactics remain unchanged. Manchester United is still on the court to attack instead of defending, suppressing Sunderland. It's just that the intensity of the offense obviously cannot be compared with the first 20 minutes of the second half.

But Sunderland didn't dare to launch a counterattack. They were beaten a little in the previous 20 minutes, and they still haven't recovered until now.

The so-called bystanders are clear, but Sunderland coach Poyet first discovered the problems of Manchester United players. This is actually very easy to find. After all, Manchester United's offensive in the first 20 minutes of the second half was too fierce, and it is inevitable to encounter a physical crisis.

After Ye Su made the substitution adjustment, Poyet also quickly made the substitution adjustment, and changed three people in a row. The goal hero Larson was replaced by Brid Carter, No. 17 Altidore replaced No. 10 Wickham, and No. 23 Jacherini replaced No. 11 Johnson.

Although they all replaced the main players with substitute players, this is not because Poyet intends to give up the game, but to strengthen the offense.

Manchester United's all-out onslaught in the twenty minutes just now consumed the Sunderland players enormously, not even less than Manchester United. Manchester United's offense relies more on the movement of the ball, but the Sunderland players can only run after the football with two legs.

Therefore, the Sunderland players are also very tired, especially a few offensive players, who just helped defend and counterattacked meaninglessly in the frontcourt, which consumed too much energy. At this moment, even if you want to use your strength, you still have more than enough heart but not enough strength.

In desperation, Poyet had to replace them with three substitute players who might be weaker.

This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, replace the substitute players and make a rush, maybe it will be successful. On the other hand, even if a goal cannot be scored to equalize the score, at least several core frontcourt offensive players have been rested and can cope with the following games.

Sunderland still has a make-up match and the 38th round of the Premier League. Even if they lose this game, this is not the end of Sunderland. They still occupy the initiative to relegation.

………………

Poyet's substitutions worked wonders.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Altidore and Giacherini, who had just debuted, almost performed a miracle together to help Sunderland score.

At that time, Sunderland, who had just made a substitution, played a very high-quality attack. Altidore made a cross from the right, and Giacherini fired from the center. The ball hit the left post and popped out. Colbeck shot again from the left side of the small penalty area and missed the side net.

Sunderland's two consecutive shots scared Manchester United up and down. If the team is caught up by Sunderland at this time, with 20 minutes left in the game, the final result of the game is really unpredictable.

Ye Su on the sidelines was also taken aback, and then he made a decisive substitution, replacing Rooney with Van Persie, who had returned from injury.

Rooney's physical energy has been exhausted. Twenty minutes before the second half, Rooney was the most desperate under the effect of the chicken blood card, so his physical energy was naturally consumed the most. In the next ten minutes, although he was struggling to hold on, it was a fact that his body was exhausted.

Sunderland's quick counterattack this time was initiated by Sunderland's defensive players stealing the ball from Rooney, who was already showing signs of fatigue.

………………

Although Ye Su replaced two players in less than five minutes, especially the two offensive players who consumed the most in the midfield, it did not significantly improve Manchester United's overall physical crisis.

In the previous onslaught, in addition to the offensive four-man team, other people also ran a lot, and they also frequently participated in the attack, which also consumed a lot of physical energy. Coupled with the general age of defensive personnel: 35-year-old Ferdinand, 33-year-old Evra, 33-year-old Carrick, 32-year-old Vidic and 29-year-old Valencia, just one Cleverley A little younger, but Cleverley is not a player who is good at defense.

Therefore, Manchester United's situation on the field is still very tight, and they were actually suppressed by Sunderland. And it's not the kind of ball possession scene in the first half, but it's completely suppressed. Manchester United can only threaten Sunderland's goal through occasional counterattacks. However, the offensive players who are still on the field at this moment are not in good condition.

First, Van Persie, who had just returned from injury and came on as a substitute, received a long pass from Carrick in the midfield and scored a single shot. Unfortunately, General Fan, who had not yet found his feet, faced Mannone, who had already disarmed, and accidentally missed the shot. up. Immediately afterwards, Nani, who had another chance to counterattack, hit the plane again with his right-footed shot at the front of the penalty area. Then there is Ashley Young, who scored a beautiful long shot before, and got a chance to shoot in the counterattack, but he shot 12 meters away from the goal and failed to hit the target.

Continuous wasting of chances will be punished. No, Sunderland encountered a crisis again in the 84th minute of the game.

Borini shot with his left foot 15 meters from the right side of the penalty area. Facing this powerful shot, De Gea didn't react at all.

Just when the Manchester United players and fans were desperate, there was a muffled bang, and with a bang, the ball hit the crossbar firmly and bounced back into the field.

The landing point of the ball was once again controlled by the Sunderland players. Fortunately, Alonso's hasty shot failed to pose a threat to Manchester United's goal.

………………

Ye Su made another substitution adjustment, this time he replaced Nani with Smalling, Smalling appeared at right back after his debut, and Valencia moved forward to the midfield.

Although Manchester United still maintains a 4231 formation on the surface, in fact, Ashley Young and Valencia have become defensive players at this time. Manchester United's real formation on the field is 4411, leaving only Van Persie and Shinji Kagawa in the frontcourt To harass Sunderland's defense, the rest of the Manchester United players, almost all their energies were devoted to defense.

After experiencing consecutive shocks, Manchester United was lucky to keep the score of 3:1 until the end of the game.

After the game, Sky Sports even joked that today Manchester United's best should be awarded to the home goal frame.

After scoring these 3 points, Manchester United continued to catch up with Tottenham by 3 points in the standings, ranking 7th in the Premier League. In the last home game, they will be able to overtake Tottenham in the standings with a goal difference advantage and rise to 6th.

And Sunderland, who lost the game, did not lose hope of relegation. Although Norwich scored 1 point in a goalless draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge the next afternoon, Sunderland fell into the relegation zone again, but the relegation initiative is still in their own hands, after all, they still have one less game .

At present, Cardiff City is at the bottom of the standings, with 7 wins, 9 draws and 21 losses and 30 points, they have not even completely lost hope of relegation, at least in theory.

Ranked second to last is the farmer Fulham. They lost 1:4 in this away game and defeated Sky City. They currently have 31 points with 9 wins, 4 draws and 24 losses.

In front of them are Sunderland with 8 wins, 8 draws and 20 losses with 32 points, Norwich with 8 wins, 9 draws and 20 losses with 33 points, and West Lake with 36 points with 7 wins, 15 draws and 14 losses. brown.

And these five teams are also the teams most likely to be relegated. Hull City and Aston Villa in front of them have already landed ahead of schedule after this round of competition.

The goal difference of these five teams is Cardiff City -41, Fulham -45, Sunderland -22, Norwich -32, West Brom -13!
