On the evening of March 13, Old Trafford Stadium was full, and the home team fans completely shorted their home tickets, but only more than 800 tickets left for the away team fans were sold. It seems that Sevilla fans were influenced by the media and also determined that their team's hopes for a final victory away game were too slim.

But after the game began, Manchester United fans quickly discovered that Sevilla seemed... not vulnerable!

Sevilla, who had already won a narrow victory at home, was not discouraged at Old Trafford. Even though they were just leading one ball now, these players were still fighting hard, and the 4-3-2-1 formation they set up... was directly on the Iron Barrel Formation.

Four defenders, three midfielders, two midfielders, single forwards!

Once such a formation is set up, it is like telling Manchester United clearly that our tactical intentions are clearly stated. We will come here to defend the game to the end!

The initiative in the competition...give it to you!

Take control of the game...for you!

If you want to attack...you will be there too!

Anyway, I just can't stand it. The Italian shooter Qiao Wenke, who was placed in the front, is simply a blind box. If you are lucky... then just enter one. If you are not lucky, forget it.

When Mourinho saw the opponent's platoon, he laughed at that time... It was indeed not as expected!

When Manchester United players saw their opponent's formation, they not only did not feel any pressure, but were more confident in Mourinho's tactical arrangements, because Mourinho arranged for Manchester United today... a tough formation!

Although Manchester United's lineup has not been adjusted, it is not just that captain Herrera does not have it, Yang Xiaozhuang put on the captain's armband again.

However, during the past two days of training, Mourinho had long expected that his opponent would inevitably adopt defensive counterattack tactics, or even just an iron barrel formation!

So in the past two days, Manchester United practiced the most routines in the wing attack. Not only did they ensure that Yang Xiaozhuang and Rashford could successfully pass the cross, but they also practiced Pogba and Matic's back insertion.

Now Sevilla has given up the initiative in the game as soon as he comes out, which is really ideal for Manchester United. It is exactly the same as when practicing half-court offense and defense!

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United, who had the initiative, began to siege their opponents, but... Obviously Sevilla was prepared for this. They probably practiced this iron barrel formation tactic a lot during this period, and they actually withstood Manchester United's attacks again and again. When they turned to defense and offense, they were not in a hurry to pass the ball forward, but just used the pass to control to consume time.

"I can't imagine! I can't imagine! Sevilla is already a team participating in the Champions League. They will even use this almost rogue tactical style in the game. This is simply a matter of no face!"

The commentator at Old Trafford Stadium is quite anxious for Manchester United. What all football coaches in the world don’t want to face the opponent’s iron barrel formation. This tactical style is not difficult. Just go to your own half and fill up people in the penalty area, but the defense effect is really good!

After the Champions League entered the knockout stage, many teams once they gained the advantage in the first round, they would use defensive counterattack tactics when they confronted in the second round, but there were still a few people like Sevilla who only had to defend and didn't fight back.

Fortunately, Manchester United has been prepared for this. Not only did they practice the landing points of the two wingers, but they also practiced the offensive routines of the wing, and even practiced the routine of encircling and grabbing points in the middle.

But even so, Manchester United's offense encountered huge resistance. Until the 23rd minute of the game, Yang Xiaozhuang broke through on the right and made a cross. Lukaku, under the double-team of three Sevilla players, hanged the ball into the upper left corner of the Sevilla goal at the far end... 1:0, Manchester United took the lead!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After scoring the goal, Lukaku was rarely excited. He even ran wildly in the Old Trafford Stadium. This was really rare for him who was tall!

Only when you are extremely excited can Lukaku perform like this!

Manchester United players were also chasing Lukaku frantically. Each of them knew very well that this goal was really important to Manchester United. Without this goal, Manchester United was the disadvantaged side, but with this goal, Manchester United became the advantaged side!

Even though Manchester United only beat Sevilla 1-0 at home, although the total score between the two sides was tied 3:3, Manchester United scored two away goals!

With the advantage of scoring many goals away, Manchester United can eliminate their opponents!

Now... it depends on Sevilla or not!

"In this kind of battle against the Iron Barrel Formation, we still have to admit that Romelu's role is greater than that of Yang and Rashford. This is a rude force that has defeated the opponent's Iron Barrel Formation with no technical content! Now, we have completely gained the advantage, and next we are free to choose the tactical style that is most beneficial to us."

Off the court, Mourinho was also very excited about Lukaku's goal, celebrating with both fists, and turned around and hugged Rui Faria to celebrate.

This goal...is very important and very important for Manchester United!

Without this goal, Manchester United's next tactics cannot be adjusted. They can only continue to attack hard, and even risk being hit by their opponents and stealing another ball. But now it is different. After Manchester United scored this goal, they really took the initiative.

Next, when the game started again, everyone discovered that Manchester United's tactical style had changed...

Before, Manchester United had always relied on taking the initiative, and was frantically accelerating the rhythm of the offense, constantly attacking, attacking and attacking again, but it seemed that it would give people a feeling that it was not stable enough, and they would always worry that Manchester United would be hit and lose another goal after being hit. Once the ball was lost... the result would be simply devastating!

After the score became 1:0, Manchester United on the court became very patient. They even often pass the ball twenty or thirty times in one round, always looking for opportunities patiently.

However, what no one expected was that Sevilla was clearly at a disadvantage now, but they had no intention of attacking and were still defending the iron barrel formation.

Mourinho only saw it for a while and understood that even if the opponent was at a disadvantage, he would not give Manchester United a chance to expand the score. He had to wait until the second half to steal another move. It was not time to fight to the death!
Chapter completed!
