Chapter 72: The Power of the Giants

After losing the ball, Mourinho had no choice but to make adjustments. He directly replaced Fellaini and Herrera with Mata and Carrick, and also made adjustments to the player positions on the field.

"Rooney plays forward, Rashford goes to the right, and Lingard moves to the midfield to partner with Mata. Is Mourinho going to return to the 4141 familiar to Manchester United players?" Zhan Jun discovered that Manchester United's formation after substitutions

changed.

Zhang Lu saw Mourinho's change of formation, shook her head and smiled: "Mourinho had no choice. Van Gaal had a falling out with Manchester United's senior management and was suddenly fired. His time in office was too short. I feel that he is here to take the blame."

Pot."

"Haha!" The three people in the broadcast room were all happy.

"It is true that he is here to take the blame. If the top management of Manchester United has any brains, they will not fire Van Gaal at this critical time!" Fan Zhiyi was a little gloating, "If we lose this game, Mourinho will definitely be accused by the media.

With a big pot, this guy has offended many people."

Back to a familiar formation, forward players such as Rashford and Rooney breathed a sigh of relief.

Every Manchester United player felt insulted when Mourinho asked them to set up the bus before the game.

Is it necessary to be so cautious when playing against a Championship team?

So what if they are mortal enemies, so what if they are the British Championship champions this season!

But after this seventy-minute game, Rashford and Rooney no longer dare to have such thoughts!

This is not a Championship team!

The pressure brought to them is almost the same as that of the strong teams in the Premier League!

After making adjustments, Mourinho returned to the coaching bench and sat quietly.

He has done everything he needs to do! The rest depends on the performance and luck of the players on the field!

Mourinho's eyes remained on Mo Yang.

He had some basic understanding of Mo Yang, a player who had made a big splash in the transfer market during this period, but did not understand it in depth.

But after this period of competition, he was shocked!

The excellence of this young midfielder even made him think about changing his recruitment plan.

He knew that taking over Manchester United at this time might lead to him taking the blame.

When he discussed with Manchester United's senior management, he clearly received a commitment to sign players next season.

The first thing he has to do this summer window is to recruit a top midfielder.

Juventus' Pogba and Leicester City's Kante are two of his targets, and now it seems there is one more.

With top passing, top vision, top personal dribbling and breakthrough skills, and skillful midfield rhythm control ability, in his eyes, this Chinese teenager already possesses the excellent qualities of a world-class midfielder.

But after thinking about it, the balance in Mourinho's heart gradually tilted towards Pogba.

Because he thinks Pogba is better!

Compared with this Chinese boy, Pogba is more mature and has already proven himself in the top league, while this Chinese boy is only 18 years old.

Youth means unlimited future, but it also means instability and uncertainty!

He can give Mo Yang a chance to make mistakes, but Manchester United will not give him a chance to make mistakes!

Mourinho was thinking about this period, and the confrontation between the two teams on the court was already heated.

Manchester United fully demonstrated what changing formations means like changing teams.

Returning to a familiar formation, Manchester United's attack finally improved greatly.

Through Carrick, a single midfielder with excellent defensive passing vision, connecting the left and right half of the field, Manchester United frequently launched quick attacks on both wings, either playing in the flanks or directly looking for Rooney, a high center forward.

In just ten minutes, Manchester United had already scored four times. Unfortunately, Silvestri was on drugs, but his performance was not inferior to that of De Goa.

81 minutes of game!

Manchester United quickly hit Leeds United's backcourt in a triangle on the right.

Rashford relied on his excellent foot skills to cut directly inside to the top of the arc. He couldn't find a passing gap and directly took a long shot!

Unfortunately, the accuracy was a little off, and the door slid past, causing the Manchester United fans at the scene to let out a huge sigh!

In the 83rd minute, Manchester United made a comeback!

This time he switched to the right, and Martial dribbled the ball along the sideline!

While running, he suddenly knocked the ball into the side rib. Lingard received the pass and glanced at the right wing, then suddenly took off and passed the ball long.

Rashford easily offloaded the ball from the right and passed the ball directly in front of the goal.

Rooney relied on his strong body to break out of the double-team of Koch and Cooper, and directly made a sliding tackle. Unfortunately, the angle of the tackle was too tricky and hit the goal post. The ball bounced out and just rolled to Mo Yang's feet.

Mo Yang took a few steps forward and quickly made a long pass.

Mo Yang's long pass spanned from the left half to the right half, and was easily removed by Costa. The exaggerated accuracy made the fans at the scene scream in surprise.

It's a pity that Costa was too reckless. After receiving the ball, he didn't wait for Bamford and others to respond, and just kept working. As a result, Blind intercepted the ball.

After Blind stole the ball, he responded with his own treatment, which was a long pass.

Due to the collective pressure, Leeds United's defense moved forward very quickly, but they never expected to be missed by Costa in the blink of an eye.

Rashford successfully countered offside at the moment Blind passed the ball, and the ball was a one-on-one pass.

But this time Silvestri was no longer magical, and was eaten alive by Rashford with his speed, and then easily pushed into the empty goal to equalize the score.

"The ball is in!"

"Blinder made a long pass from the backcourt. Leeds United failed to counterattack. Instead, Manchester United seized the opportunity in the backcourt and equalized the score!" Zhan Jun meant it. Although he supported Leeds United in his heart, he was not too happy.

obvious.

"Costa was too reckless with this goal and wasted the opportunity created by Mo Yang!" Zhang Lu looked regretful, "It looks like overtime will be played!"

"No rush! There are still five or six minutes left in the game!" Fan Zhiyi was very confident.

Seeing the Manchester United players celebrating, the panting Mo Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Is it Costa's fault?

Although Costa has certain responsibilities, the forward's responsibility is to score goals, so although Costa was blindly wrong about this goal, it was not entirely wrong.

And Mo Yang feels that he also has some responsibility for this goal!

He was a little anxious during this period, causing the team's offensive rhythm to be a little too fast.

Bielsa's face was extremely gloomy on the sidelines and he looked at Costa with an evil look.

In fact, in his eyes, Costa is a barely usable player.

They are too rough at the feet and sometimes like to force themselves. Now that they have been promoted, Costa is not qualified to be the main force!

Therefore, Bielsa has been wondering about the candidate for this right wing for a long time. So far, he has found two target players.

After Manchester United scored, Mourinho was also very surprised. He rushed out of the coaching bench and knelt down to celebrate with his hands raised, full of passion.

Soon, the game started again.

And when Manchester United excitedly wanted to score another goal while the heat was hot, they found that they seemed to be unable to touch the ball.

Even if they press regardless of their physical strength, it is difficult for them to touch the ball.

Because Leeds United's offensive rhythm has obviously slowed down.

Facing their pressing, Leeds United players relied on running without hesitation and passed the ball to the feet of their core midfielder with two triangular kicks.

Then the Chinese will quickly move the ball to a relatively safe area.

It works every time!

Sometimes he doesn't observe at all, turns around and passes the ball directly. I don't know how he sees those areas where the pressing intensity is weak.

It’s simply unbelievable, it gives them a very scary feeling!

The Manchester United players thought that Leeds United's initial possession of the ball was to waste time in overtime, so they began to save some energy and ended the meaningless pressing.

But at this moment, Leeds United's offensive rhythm suddenly accelerated again, and the kind of pass-cut coordination that had not appeared for a long time appeared in the middle.

Carrick, Mata and Lingard who were retreating were unable to defend themselves, and were directly hit by Mo Yang and the others at the top of the arc.

In the Manchester United penalty area, the defensive players spontaneously retreated to the penalty area and defended tightly.

The game is about to end. If we lose the ball at this time, we will die unjustly.
