Legendary Godfather

Carrington Training Base, Manchester, England.

Moyes sat in front of the big screen in the tactical analysis room, staring at the big screen in front of him with bright eyes and frowning.

It is playing all the videos of Crystal Palace games this season.

These videos are excerpts from Moyes' coaching staff and data analysts that show the Crystal Palace team's technical and tactical play that are very distinctive, allowing people to see the technical and tactical characteristics of Crystal Palace at a glance.

Moyes took it very seriously.

And this is not the first time Moyes has watched this video.

Almost every time he looked, he saw something new.

The more I looked at him, the more I felt that this guy Tong Yi was not simple.

Moyes asked the assistants around him, "After seeing so much, what do you think of this guy Tong Yi?"

Round and others looked at each other, and then Round said seriously, "Obviously, this young Chinese is more mature, and his tactics are not just simple high-position pressing, his skills and tactics are richer." . And it is also flexible to use. When facing Tottenham Hotspur, they focused more on defensive counterattacks and rarely pressed high..."

Woods and Lunsden nodded slightly, and their expressions were very serious.

Lunsden added, "And the arrival of Lukaku has enriched Crystal Palace's tactics. Although Lukaku is young, he is much better than Crystal Palace's forward Glenn Murray last season. With him here, Crystal Palace's The attack strength is stronger and we have to defend it.”

Moyes nodded slightly, that was indeed the case.

To be honest, he was once optimistic about Lukaku. If he had not left Everton, he should have loaned Lukaku to Everton, and it would not have been Crystal Palace's turn at all.

Moyes looked at the big screen again, nodded slightly, and said, "Crystal Palace in the new season is indeed much better than before. What's more important is that Tong Yi is more mature and powerful than before, making it difficult to deal with."

Obviously, Moyes and the others did not believe what the media reporters had said before.

They can all see that Tong Yi and Crystal Palace are powerful, but they dare not underestimate Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace is currently the team ranked first in the Premier League.

What's more important is that they can see Crystal Palace's strength and Tong Yi's abilities from these games and Crystal Palace's techniques and tactics.

Crystal Palace and Tong Yi are not simple!

Moyes takes it very seriously.

Suddenly, Moyes asked again, "Do you think Crystal Palace will start Laporte in this game?"

To be honest, Laporte has been in very good shape recently and performed very well. Is it any wonder that so many media reporters and fans are supporting Laporte? They all think Crystal Palace should replace Van Dijk with Laporte. Van Dijk is

This guy doesn't deserve to be the main force of the team.

I really don’t know why this guy Tong Yi is so optimistic about Van Dijk?

Ronde pondered slightly and said nothing. However, Lunsden said, "I think it is unlikely. Tong Yi, a Chinese, is a very independent person and is difficult to be influenced by outsiders. I think no matter how noisy these media reporters and fans are, Tong Yi will not Changes will be made.”

Woods echoed, "Yeah, I think so."

When Moyes heard this, he thought it made sense. Tong Yi, a Chinese soft-boiled man, was indeed quite stubborn.

Van Dijk made so many mistakes last season, didn't Tong Yi still go his own way and continue to reuse Van Dijk? Van Dijk was not taken off the field under such circumstances. How could it be possible to replace Van Dijk now?

Moyes immediately nodded and said, "Then we can focus on attacking Van Dijk's defense in this game. What do you think?"

Ronde immediately said, "I think it's feasible. Van Dijk is still too young and his ability is not outstanding."

Lunsden also immediately nodded in agreement.

Moyes raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued, "Also, Crystal Palace's midfielder is very defensive in terms of interception and pressure. We must avoid a head-on conflict with them. However, the defense of their two wings is relatively weak. Especially the defense on the left side.”

Ronde immediately brought a tactical board and handed it to Moyes.

After Moyes took over, he continued, "Crystal Palace's left side is a weakness whether Robertson starts or Alonso starts."

Round and others were staring closely at Moyes.

Moyes continued: "Compared to Alonso, Robertson's defensive ability is stronger. But Robertson is too young, not very experienced, and his body is relatively weak. He is definitely a weakness of Crystal Palace. But what about Alonso? He is a player who is obviously better at offense than defense. Once he starts, Crystal Palace's defense on the left side will be relatively weak. This is our opportunity!"

Ronde and others all saw the information collected by the tactical analysis room.

There is a comparison of the strengths of Alonso and Robertson, as well as some intercepted game videos, which can very intuitively see the characteristics of these two players and the differences between them.

After reading it carefully, they all felt that Moyes was right.

Both of these two people have their own advantages and disadvantages, but overall for their Manchester United team, they are both weaknesses in the Crystal Palace defense, which their Manchester United team must take advantage of.

Moyes continued: "As for

The Chinese guy on their right wing is really good, with a balanced offense and defense, and very good physical fitness... To be honest, he shouldn't appear in the Crystal Palace. It would be great if he came to our Manchester United team! "

Yes, Moyes is a little envious of Tong Yi. He is attracted to Zhang Linpeng.

Now, Manchester United is really short of players at the full-back position. He believes that Zhang Linpeng has the ability to play the main position in Manchester United.

Ronde also said, "This Chinese guy is really good, and he is different from the Chinese Sunshine before Manchester City. This Chinese guy has better physical fitness and is more focused on defense."

Lunsden also said, "During the winter transfer, should we bring him to our Manchester United team? I believe that the attraction of Manchester United is still very effective. There are not many players on this planet who can refuse Manchester United... !”

Moyes pondered for a while, seeming to be thinking about the possibilities in Lunsden's words.

After a while, he said, "Okay! Go and run it and see if it is possible to bring this guy to our Manchester United team."

Lunsden immediately said, "Okay, leave it to me!"

Then, Moyes continued to discuss Crystal Palace's tactical issues with his assistants, looking for Crystal Palace's lineup and tactical loopholes, and then frantically targeted the opponents so that they could win Crystal Palace.

Soon, they formulated a plan.

In this game against Crystal Palace, Manchester United's key targets were the left wing of Crystal Palace and Van Dijk. They believed this was a vulnerability in Crystal Palace that they had to attack.

And they also have to avoid a head-on conflict with the Crystal Palace midfielder.

Crystal Palace's current midfielder's frontal defense, interception and sweeping capabilities are very strong. It is difficult for Manchester United to break through Crystal Palace's frontal defense in the middle of the midfield.

Paulinho, Kanter and Pogba are three guys in the midfield, and their interception and pressure capabilities are very strong.

Therefore, Manchester United still needs to fly on both sides.

Professor Ferguson's tactics were retained.

After formulating the strategies, Moyes brought them to training and asked the Manchester United players to focus on training these tactics in preparation for the game against Crystal Palace.

Moreover, in normal training, Moyes will also instill his requirements and opinions into the Manchester United players in detail, so that they can prepare carefully and adapt to these small tactical adjustments as soon as possible. It will also allow players to simulate Crystal Palace's defensive positions, etc., to allow Manchester United players to complete training better.

To be honest, Moyes is really dedicated.

After watching the training of Manchester United players, Moyes himself was full of emotions about this game.

expectations.

To be honest, he felt that their Manchester United team had a very good chance of winning.

And in daily training, he also told these views and opinions to the Manchester United players. He said, "As long as you can maintain this state and completely follow our tactics during the game, our Manchester United team will win this game!"

To be honest, some players in the Manchester United team do not trust Moyes.

They don't think Moyes is that good.

They had doubts about Moyes' coaching ability, so during training, they did have a lot of doubts, and some were even very dissatisfied.

These subtle adjustments to tactics have affected the interests of many players.

This slight adjustment will increase the running distance of some players, and will also make some people less important in the game, etc. More importantly, they don't think Moyes can lead Manchester United well.

However, at this time they still followed Moyes' request.

After all, Moyes is the successor appointed by Ferguson himself, and the Manchester United players still have to give Ferguson this face. But if Moyes' recent coaching performance is not good, their emotions will definitely explode later. By then, it will be more difficult for Moyes to control the team's locker room.

Moreover, at this time, whoever takes over Manchester United will be frequently compared with Sir Alex Ferguson by reporters, fans and players. Especially the players, their feelings are more direct and intuitive. That's why they feel that Moyes is not good at all.

Moyes is too far behind Sir Alex Ferguson.

They feel that Moyes's approach is simply unacceptable and that Moyes is simply messing around.

Therefore, in fact, from the moment Moyes came to Manchester United, Manchester United's internal problems have already emerged.

To be honest, it is difficult for Moyes to succeed in coaching Manchester United.

However, at this time, Moyes did not consider this. He was full of confidence and firmly believed that he could do it.

At this time, he was very involved and led the Manchester United players to actively prepare.

He firmly believes that Manchester United can defeat Crystal Palace and win this game.

The members of Moyes' coaching staff are also very motivated. They also believe that they can gain a foothold in Manchester United and then take root in Manchester United like Alex Ferguson. They will also become part of the legend of Manchester United in the future. .

Looking at these players who are actively engaged in training, they are full of confidence in the upcoming game.

They will definitely beat Crystal Palace.
