Chapter 358 Manchester United

There was only one day left before the game against Manchester United, and reporters from China came to the Netherlands early.

The club's top management in The Hague personally welcomed the interview group who came to China. This is a good opportunity to expand The Hague's reputation.

This time the sports channel’s theme is A Day in The Hague, which will record the day before The Hague’s game against Manchester United.

First, we filmed the team's training. The players in The Hague didn't feel any discomfort with the sudden arrival of the Chinese team.

They are not country bumpkins who have never seen the world. As football players, this is what they will face sooner or later.

Then he began to interview players one after another, including of course two Chinese players.

Facing interviews with reporters, the players answered questions calmly.

After all, we are a team organized by a sports channel, so we won’t ask any harsh questions.

It's more of a business thing, after all, it's going to be on TV.

Then came the interview with Xue Yang, the first Chinese coach to coach an Eredivisie team.

Xue Yang has always been someone they wanted to interview. I remember when he was still at Tianjin Wei, Xue Yang led Tianjin Wei to create miracles again and again.

I have won the Chinese Super League championship, the AFC Champions League, and all the championships I can win.

As a result, Xue Yang suddenly came to The Hague, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Fans have seen foreign coaches coach Chinese Super League teams and then go to Europe to coach, but this is the first time for a local coach.

"Hello, coach Xue Yang! Thank you for accepting our interview." the reporter said politely.

Xue Yang smiled at him, and then the reporter continued to ask questions.

"We all know that during the Tianjin Wei period, you led the team with very good results. Why did you suddenly come to the Netherlands?" the reporter asked.

"Continuing in the comfort zone is stable, but it also means losing the challenge." Xue Yang answered seriously.

"This is not the life I want. As a coach I crave a challenge."

"And when the opportunity is presented to me, I will never give up."

"And I am not the first coach to coach in Europe. Meng Kuan has now gone to Belgium. I look forward to more local coaches who can try to come out."

"It's not just the players who need to study abroad, I think the coaches are also very important."

"Tomorrow The Hague will face Manchester United. How is the team doing now?" the reporter continued to ask.

"That's Manchester United after all. Although I'm a little worried, it's actually okay." Xue Yang replied.

"After all, when I was still at Tianjin Wei, I played in both Real Madrid and Barcelona."

The interview ended quickly, and the reporter's questions were quite official.

There were only a few questions that everyone was curious about, and Xue Yang answered them very seriously.

Finally, September 15th came, and The Hague faced the powerful Manchester United at home.

After all, the opponent was Manchester United, and the venue was full early.

Moreover, many Chinese spectators came, most of whom were wearing Manchester United jerseys.

The scene was very lively today and everyone is looking forward to the next game.

The Hague is in pretty good shape today, and there are no players in poor shape.

"Hello, viewers! Welcome to today's live broadcast. What we bring to you today is the first round of the Europa League Group A. The Dutch Eredivisie team The Hague plays Manchester United at home." He Wei opened the commentary.

"Perhaps most fans think that Manchester United has a great chance of winning."

"However, The Hague's strength is not weak, and it suddenly emerged in the second half of last season."

"Having brought The Hague from the middle and lower reaches to the third place in the league, The Hague currently maintains a winning record."

"I believe many people also know that The Hague's head coach is former Tianjin Wei head coach Xue Yang."

"It's been a long time since I've commented on coach Xue Yang's game. The last time was last year." Xu Yang continued to explain.

"However, after coach Xue Yang left, Tianjin Wei's performance is actually not bad, and it is still ranked first in the standings."

"It must be different. You must know that Tianjin Wei was in the All-China class last year." He Wei defended Xue Yang.

However, what He Wei said is also true. This year's Tianjin Guard has three more foreign players than last year.

Moreover, they are all foreign aids with excellent experience and strength. In fact, many people think so too.

"Introducing the starting lineups of both sides, first of all, Manchester United, officially gave a 4-2-3-1 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1 De Gea;

Defenders: 5 Rojo, 3 Baiyi, 12 Smalling, 36 Damian;

Midfielder: 11 Martial, 28 Schneiderlin, 6 Pogba, 21 Herrera, 8 Mata;

Forward: 19 Rashford.”

"Then The Hague officially gave a 4-4-2 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1 Ruyter (74);

Defenders: 26 Williams (77), 3 Ruben Dias (77), 4 Skriniar (78), 12 Jin Qiang (79);

Midfielders: 11 Danjuma (79), 6 Zakaria (78), 16 De Jong (77), 20 Rafinha (79);

Forwards: 9 Alai (80), 10 Xu Qiang (80)."

When I played in the Eredivisie before, The Hague's midfield was dominant, so it was more of a three-man midfield.

But today they faced Manchester United, and The Hague's midfield advantage turned into a weakness.

So Xue Yang chose a 4-4-2 formation, and both midfielders were able to attack and defend.

Today Xue Yang's tactic is to defend and counterattack. After all, The Hague has many fast players.

Xue Yang looked at Manchester United's starting lineup and found that it was indeed very strong.

New aid Pogba also started the game today. Not only that, but there is also Ibrahimovic and Luneng star Fellaini on the bench.

As for Manchester United's head coach or Mourinho, Xue Yang looked at the opponent's coaching bench.

Xue Yang never thought that one day he would be able to play against Mourinho. Mourinho is definitely a world-class coach.

However, Xue Yang thought about it and realized that The Hague was not hopeless.

After all, The Hague's lineup is still good, there are no big holes.

As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.

Just a few minutes later, Manchester United launched an attack.

The football came to the right, but there was no chance.

So the pass was passed to Herrera who was in the middle. Herrera received the ball and passed it forward directly.

Schneiderlin faced the passing football, stepped on the ball with his right foot and pushed it behind him.

He actually chose to pass the ball without looking at anyone, and Mata received the pass on the right side of the arc outside the penalty area.

However, how could The Hague let him get his wish? Ruben Dias came directly to meet him.

He used his body to block Mata's long-range shot, so Mata could only choose to pass the ball.

Suddenly he heard the voice of his teammates on his left, so Mata passed the football to his left.

And Rashford is here at this moment. Rashford leads the football forward and directly into the penalty area.

Immediately afterwards, he pushed the shot directly towards the goal with his right foot, and The Hague goalkeeper Ruyter fell to the ground to save.

Fortunately, Rashford hit the goal, and the ball finally hit the post and rolled out of the bottom line.
