Chapter 221: Those who lose are not lost, those who win are not won!
Chapter 221 Those who lose but don’t lose, those who win but don’t win!
Yang Xiaozhuang created a penalty kick and scored a penalty kick, allowing himself to complete the "second score" and also allowed Manchester United to surpass his score.
Afterwards, Guardiola, who was in Manchester City, started to make substitutions. Anyway, he didn't care about the community Shield. Gaia and Danilo came on the court and replaced Valke and Tussin. Manchester City's tactics were still to insist on defending and counterattacking.
After completing the score overtake, Manchester United became more cautious when attacking, which led to their offense decline and their defense being more stable.
The choice of both sides of the game also prevented neither side from scoring another goal for the rest of the game, and the final score was 2:1... Manchester United struggled to win the Community Shield Cup.
"Win! Manchester United, as the Premier League champion last season, is still here as the 'four champion'. Even if the team's strength has declined this season and the head coach has also changed, the foundation is the foundation! With Chinese Yang Zai, the goal is guaranteed, and then victory... is guaranteed!"
"Last season, Chinese Yang kept bringing us surprises on the right side. This season, Yang has moved to the middle. Can he still score so many goals like the season? We cannot be sure of this for the time being! But looking at today's game, Solskjaer obviously wants to build a Manchester United team with Chinese Yang as the core of offense."
"If Manchester United takes Chinese Yang as the core of the offensive, there are still many disadvantages. Although Chinese Yang's destructive power in counterattacks is unparalleled, in positional battles, Chinese Yang's height is here. If he is allowed to conflict head-on with the opponent's central defender, there is actually no advantage at all! This problem is also something that Solskjaer and Manchester United must overcome!"
"Although Manchester United won the Community Shield today, we can all see that Manchester City has not made any efforts at all. Guardiola did not show his team's true strength. The big-name stars in the team did not play, and the tactics they played were not the passing and control offensive football they were good at. Maybe they would rather hide for a few more days?"
"Manchester City lost the game today, but objectively speaking, Manchester United defeated only Manchester City's second team today! This Manchester City is definitely not the real Manchester City. They have retained too much strength."
The commentators who tend to be Manchester City are whitewashing the "Blue Moon" defeat, but they really can't be said to be wrong. Manchester City, which appeared at Wembley Stadium today, cannot be regarded as Manchester City. Not only is the lineup quite simple, but the team's tactics have become defensive counterattacks. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Manchester City's second team.
But such a Manchester City team, but Manchester United, who faces all the main players, ended up losing only one goal, and even led the lead in the first half.
In theory, Manchester United's overall strength has not dropped much, so it can only prove a little... This season, the overall strength of "Blue Moon" is really invincible!
If you analyze this game carefully, although Manchester United won the Community Shield Cup, if they compete in the Premier League this season... I am afraid they will not be able to compete with Manchester City!
Although Manchester City lost, if they really look at it from a long-term perspective, their defeat... is actually not considered a loss. The second team and Manchester United's main lineup are only one goal apart. If all the main players are used, can Manchester United still win?
On the way back to Manchester from London, the Manchester United players were quite happy. After all, they won the Community Shield game and defeated Manchester City.
But... Solskjaer, Rui Faria and the coaches of the coaches all had a bit of concern. They saw a lot of things from today's game, especially Manchester City played like this with the second team, so their real strength would be really terrifying!
This season, Manchester United competed in the Premier League as the defending champion. If Manchester City snatched the league championship, then... would be unhappy!
Solskjaer couldn't help but mutter to Rui Faria: "Rui, in this game today... Manchester City obviously didn't play the game seriously at all, but even so we only narrowly won with one goal, and even fell behind for a while. Has our team's strength really declined?"
Solskjaer was still a little suspicious and left three players, Lukaku, Pogba and Matic. Manchester United, who won the "four championships" last season, lost so much in his own hands?
It's so difficult to play Manchester City's second team, so how can you compete with the Premier League?
Rui Faria frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Ole, actually... our strength has indeed declined significantly, but the reason why we won this game is very difficult is because of tactics. I think... If we take Yang as the core of the offensive, then we have to find a way to solve the problem of positional warfare now. We are absolutely fine in counterattacks, but when the positional attacks, I feel that it is difficult for our team to hit the ball into the opponent's penalty area."
Although Solskjaer has no experience in coaching a strong team, he also brought out the championship team when he was in Norway. If you want to talk about successful experience... there are some!
However, the level of the Norwegian league is really too low. It is not as fierce as the competition in the world's No. 1 league like the Premier League. There is a need to fight wits and courage in every game between the head coach and the head coach. Even like today's game, Manchester United lost a lot of energy to win the game, but it gave Solskjaer the feeling... Why does it seem like he didn't beat Manchester City?
On the contrary, in this game, Manchester United exposed many problems that were not exposed in the previous warm-up match. At that time, Manchester United's tactics were still pursuing pass control. Now that the offense is all tilted to Chinese Yang, why has the goal become difficult?
Too single?
Solskjaer also had a great record in playing football. After becoming a football coach, he had already completed the upgrade in the Norwegian league. If he really had no ability, he would not have been selected by Ferguson and became the successor after Mourinho left.
After careful consideration, Solskjaer suddenly figured out the key to solving the problem... positional warfare!
The main reason why Manchester United struggled so hard in this game, even in the end, was that the team lacked offensive methods for positional battles after taking Chinese Yang as the core of the offensive.
Today, after Manchester United players handed the ball to Yang Xiaozhuang during position war, once Yang Xiaozhuang wanted to face Manchester City's central defender directly, Manchester United's offense would most likely be stuck, so naturally there would be no way to threaten their opponents.
