Strong Waist

In the Manchester United dressing room, Pogba adjusted his condition with his eyes closed.

Even though he usually looks like a jerk, he is still very focused during the game. After all, no one would joke with a professional who has to eat.

And for Pogba, this game is crucial.

There are many public opinions against him, including why he is not worthy of taking on the core position, his ability is overestimated, parallel imports, etc.

In order to eliminate these negative public opinions, he also needs to show sufficient performance.

In the game against Arsenal, controlling the midfield and suppressing Lucky, who is overly deified by the Premier League, is undoubtedly a very good opportunity.

Yes!

In Pogba's view, Lucky is not a perfect midfielder.

Lucky also has many flaws.

Such as his dribbling, such as his singleness on the offensive end.

Many times, Lucky will distribute the ball to the wings when attacking to recreate opportunities. Simply put, he lacks creativity.

And Pogba is very confident in this aspect.

And for Pogba, coming to Manchester United is to prove his true core attributes.

When he was at Juventus, he was always the younger brother beside Pirlo. No matter how good his performance was, the core of the team was always Pirlo.

Taking on the core position at Manchester United and successfully leading Manchester United to win honors is undoubtedly an exciting achievement.

All this tells Pogba that he needs to perform well.

"We must limit Kai's performance, especially Pogba, avoid Kai's defense when playing the ball, and avoid direct conflicts with him!"

Mourinho said seriously.

Although he has decided to leave Manchester United, he is still the head coach of Manchester United and he needs to be responsible for every victory or defeat.

But after hearing Mourinho's words, Pogba turned his head and curled his lips.

He didn't like the Portuguese man very much.

Mourinho's words always seem to remind him that he is not a qualified core point.

When meeting Manchester City, let him choose to defend.

When facing Arsenal, he also chose to give in.

Why do you always give in yourself?

Do you want to compare the differences yourself?

Pogba is very dissatisfied!

"I feel that I should strengthen my offense and defense more, and I think as a player on the field, I have more say in what choices to make when!"

Pogba directly criticized Mourinho.

Mourinho narrowed his eyes slightly.

He also hated the Frenchman.

This guy doesn't obey the key, is undisciplined, and has absolutely no discipline.

"Just do as I say!" Mourinho said in a cold tone.

Pogba didn't speak anymore, and Mourinho didn't know if the guy listened.

In fact, Mourinho is also doing it for Pogba and the team.

Objectively speaking, Pogba's ability is still very good, as long as he does not covet those excessive tactical positions.

According to Mourinho, Pogba's performance is remarkable when attacking alone and defending alone. This is a player who can explode and even control the court under given conditions.

But the key is the 'established conditions', that is to say, his teammates need to create such conditions for him.

This also determines that Pogba cannot become a key core point like Lucky.

One person carries the team forward!

For now, Pogba's biggest shortcoming is his snail-like transition speed between offense and defense.

Most of the other midfielders can quickly switch between offense and defense, and the top midfielders can directly open up the situation with one kick.

Pogba is much weaker in this aspect, and there are always factors of hesitation and slowness.

Especially when facing players like Lucky.

A small hesitation will cause Lucai to quickly position himself, and the fleeting opportunity to counterattack will disappear.

Therefore, Mourinho hopes that Pogba will focus more on offense or defense, rather than both.

He can't do this!

But Pogba is not convinced!

Both of them refused to admit defeat and failed to get a satisfactory answer in the end. It was already time to play.

Mourinho stood at the coaching bench, his expression extremely solemn.

As much as he wanted to win, this game was really difficult.

Players from both teams began to take the field.

Mourinho turned and looked over.

He saw Lucky at first sight.

Almost this glance made him nod slightly.

His high fighting spirit, unyielding eyes, and upright posture all exude the aura of victory.

Lucai walked forward silently, while his teammates behind him looked at each other's back, their eyes gradually becoming firmer.

This is the role that a leader and a core should play.

Mourinho's eyes are shining!

Soon, the expression on Mourinho's face changed, and the word "disgust" was written all over it.

Pogba waved his hands and walked into the stadium like a crow with flapping wings.

"Pogba is driving the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene. He is a player who is very good at mobilizing emotions. Although Manchester United's recent performance is not good, Arsenal still have to be careful."

If nothing else, the red jersey alone is something that no one can ignore.

Although Manchester United is weak today, the pressure from the powerful Red Devils in my memory is still huge.

"The two captains completed the selection of sides. Manchester United took the lead and the starting lineups of both sides are as follows."

Manchester United (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Barrera, Carrick, Blind, Rojo,

Midfielder: Schneiderlin, Mata, Pogba.

Forwards: Lingard, Rashford, Depay.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal.

Midfielder: Aubameyang, Kante, Lucky, Flamini, Sanchez,

Forward: Suarez.

"Kai appears in the central midfield position. Arsenal is telling everyone that they are going to strengthen their attack."

Lucky usually plays as a defensive midfielder, but is sometimes deployed as a central midfielder by Wenger.

It can be said that Lucky has now mastered these two positions very well and can make adjustments according to the needs of the head coach.

"When Kai was in the defensive midfielder, Arsenal played a balanced and stable style of play, playing with the same rhythm and confrontation in the midfield. But when Kai was in the central midfielder, Arsenal focused more on offense. Obviously Wenger I want to get three points at Old Trafford!”

Following the commentator's words, the Manchester United fans at the scene were also extremely angry.

"Arrogant Arsenal people! You will regret it!"

"Damn it! Kill these arrogant guys!"

"Kill them!

"

"Tell them this is Old Trafford!"

Abuse and boos filled the air, making the atmosphere even more intense.

At the coaching bench on the sidelines, Wenger had his hands in his pockets and his expression was blank.

Mourinho, on the other hand, looked solemn.

He turned to look at Wenger.

The latter returned his smile.

Mourinho turned his head and his expression became even worse.

Put Lucky in front, which means oppression.

This is to take into account Pogba's slow transition speed between offense and defense, allowing the midfielder to press up as a whole and create trouble for them.

And can Pogba withstand this pressure?

Mourinho is not very confident!

"The players on both sides are ready and the game can start at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Rashford took the lead.

The Arsenal players immediately moved forward to press.

Arsenal was very active in chasing and blocking in the frontcourt, putting pressure on Manchester United's midfield and backfield from the beginning of the game.

Pogba's organizational skills are good, but only good.

It is much easier for him to move forward without pressure, but under this pressure and pressure, Pogba is a little unable to do it.

"Hey! Pass the ball to me!"

Seeing Pogba humming in the backcourt, Mata couldn't stand it anymore.

If this continues, they are just playing with fire in the backcourt.

Once it is intercepted by Arsenal, the consequences will be disastrous.

The ball must be moved forward!

Pogba also knew this very well, so he turned around and was about to pass the ball when a figure suddenly appeared in the passing path.

Lucky looked at Pogba eagerly, as if to say, 'This road is blocked'.

"Damn it!"

Pogbala turned sideways and passed the ball across.

Lucky also moved towards the center, but his eyes were always on Pogba.

As the core outlet, Pogba will look for passing opportunities.

And his mission is to suppress Pogba!
