Chapter 883 Finding the confident Manchester United

Manchester United's pressing was fierce, but Southampton's midfielder still persisted under such pressing.

It is enough to be able to do this.

After all, Manchester United's press must be achieved at the expense of the defense in the backcourt.

If the high press cannot grab the ball quickly, the defense will be very dangerous.

This is true even for Barcelona back then, otherwise they wouldn't have been pierced by Pato's acceleration...

What Southampton is looking for is such an opportunity.

When De Bruyne took the ball in midfield, he sent a direct pass that directly penetrated the opponent's entire defense!

And at the moment he passed the ball, Du Yue accelerated and ran forward!

One pass, one run, as long as there is enough tacit understanding, then any line of defense can be penetrated!

Manchester United's defense was undoubtedly penetrated.

When Du Yue started to sprint to the front of the penalty area, De Bruyne's pass hit his feet.

De Gea had no choice but to rush out and plan to use his body to stop Du Yue's solo attack.

However, Du Yue did not pass him, but after making a fake dribbling breakthrough, he raised his foot and passed the ball to the other side of the penalty area...

Alvarez, who also jumped in from the other side at the same high speed, just received his pass. Facing the huge empty goal, Alvarez only needed to kick the ball easily into the empty goal!

After the goal, Alvarez laughed and pointed at Du Yue, and then hugged him!

"The goal was scored! Southampton took the lead! After Du Yue received De Bruyne's pass, he formed a single-handedly single-handedly, but he did not greedy for credit, but passed the ball to Alvarez, who was in a better position, to help the opponent Opening the scoring! Du Yue really doesn't need to risk every goal now..."

The commentator began to tease Du Yue's performance. In fact, the most important thing about this goal was the cooperation between De Bruyne and Du Yue. .

Mourinho shook his head on the sidelines, then made a firm gesture to the field.

Continue to use this tactic, press the midfielder, and then launch a fast break!

At this time, Mourinho must choose to persist.

And Manchester United's players can only continue to choose to believe in him, believing that they can use this tactic to counter Southampton's possession offense.

So immediately after the restart, United launched a fast-paced attack, with Lukaku dribbling past the ball from the wing and creating a corner, Ashley Young took the corner and McTominay went forward. Under Rudiger's interference, he still grabbed the first point and shook his head to attack the goal. This short header missed the near post.

"Manchester United is not to be outdone! Their offense is actually very threatening..." the commentator exclaimed.

This attack made the Manchester United players recover a little bit. After all, such a fast break puts a lot of pressure on Southampton's defense. If this is the case, there is still hope for the game.

Tactics that are promising to score goals always make people more motivated to use them.

Southampton began to attack with the ball. The kind of attack just now is actually very difficult to play. Even top players like De Bruyne and Du Yue, it is difficult for them to create such opportunities. It depends on luck. At that moment, there was a tacit understanding.

However, after the constant possession of the ball, Southampton still created a good opportunity. After receiving the ball from De Bruyne, Alvarez passed the ball to Valverde who was going forward. Valverde crossed Taking the ball for a long shot, he was tripped by Fellaini who was returning to the defense. Southampton won a direct free kick 20 meters from the goal.

Du Yue, De Bruyne and Cancelo stood in front of the ball together. The attention of the Manchester United players was either on Du Yue or on De Bruyne. After the penalty whistle, it was Cancelo who flew up and kicked the ball out!

This was so sudden that Manchester United's wall didn't even have time to take off, and then the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, crossed the wall and plunged into the dead corner of the goal!

"Two to zero! Southampton leads by two goals! They played too smoothly! Cancelo's free kick is also quite good! Manchester United seems to have no ability to counterattack at all..."

I have to say that what the commentator said is quite biased. For Manchester United, their performance during this period is still good, they have not been greatly affected on the scene, and they have created many opportunities. Because they are two goals behind now, it is said that they have no ability to resist at all, which is not true.

But it is obvious that even if Manchester United's players performed well before, under such circumstances, after being led by two goals by Southampton, it will have a huge impact on their self-confidence.

Originally, the players of Manchester United had already begun to doubt and worry, that is, Manchester United played well in the last few games, so Mourinho did not dismiss get out of class, the players still had a little confidence in him, and now they are two goals behind, such confidence , how long can it last?

"Maybe if we persist for a while, Manchester United will collapse without a fight." Benelli couldn't help but said something to Ji Ya.

"It's possible, but it's also possible that they regained their confidence through a goal..." Ji Ya said bluntly.

But this is not his crow's mouth, but the strength of Manchester United's frontcourt players is still very good, and the fast break tactics after pressing, as long as they succeed once, they can often form a goal. Under such circumstances, any goal may rekindle the strong fighting spirit of Manchester United players.

It's not impossible.

In fact, as the two sides continued to see-saw, when Manchester United's players' trust in tactics was about to be shattered, Manchester United's luck suddenly became better.

The game went to No. 303 minutes.

There was a mistake in a pass from the Southampton midfielder. Pogba intercepted the ball, then dribbled the ball forward, and then sent a direct pass. Rashford, who inserted at high speed, received the ball and then forced a breakthrough!

Rashford's breakthrough attracted enough attention from Southampton's defense, and then he distributed the ball. Lukaku who followed up did not stop the ball, but directly kicked and shot!

The ball quickly flew into the far corner of the goal. Faced with this relatively close shot, Mendy couldn't make an effective save!

"The goal was scored! Manchester United got back a point! Beautiful cooperation! It seems that their tactics are still very effective!"

Amid the chanting of the commentator, the players of Manchester United waved their fists one after another. At this time, when they were about to lose confidence, they regained their confidence in Mourinho's tactics!
