Chapter 277 The true strength of the Red Devil!
Chapter 277 The true strength of the "Red Devil"!
In order to prevent Yang Xiaozhuang from going to Portugal from being affected, Solskjaer finally followed his wishes. Martial and Wan Bissaka all entered Manchester United's lineup for Porto.
Even Solskjaer made a clear hint to these two people that they would get Manchester United's away game against Porto because "God Yang" spoke.
Martial and Wan Bisaka knew that it was Yang Xiaozhuang who spoke for them, so they were naturally grateful to him. They made up their minds to do their best in the game. Although entering the lineup was a bit like going to the back door, whether they could perform satisfactorily during the game still depends on their own strength.
And if he performs poorly, it will not only be Martial and Wan Bisaka who are affected. Yang Xiaozhuang who speaks for them will also be affected. Next time he speaks for a certain player, Solskjaer may have many concerns.
When Solskjaer led Manchester United to Porto, a reporter asked him why Yang Xiaozhuang did not come with the team, and whether Manchester United felt that he could easily defeat Porto away without giving his all.
Solskjaer is not a fool for this kind of trap, so how could he jump into it?
"Yang has played too many games for the team this season. His body has reached the limit of load and needs a good rest, so he stayed in Manchester for a rest. In addition, we still attach great importance to Porto. In addition to players who cannot participate in this game, we have selected the strongest lineup to play this game! For the Champions League, we will always give our all!"
Solskjaer's speech is beautiful and sleek, and does not give reporters any chance to criticize himself and Manchester United. During the game... Manchester United played very beautifully!
Manchester United's lineup in this game is a bit beyond the expectations of Porto coach Sergio Concesan...
Martial and Wan Bissaka's return to Manchester United's lineup are not surprising, but there is one person who really makes Concesan unexpected... Hudders Wilson!
This center, who was promoted from Manchester United's reserve team this season, has never played in previous games, and has no chance to play as a substitute, because Manchester United's previous tactical arrangements did not have a center at all, only... a pseudo-center!
The pseudo-center has actually very high requirements for players and must be comprehensive in technology. Hudders Wilson, who is only 22 years old... Although his speed is quite fast and his shooting skills are considered to be reasonable, there is really no advantage other than that.
This unexpected thing made Kong Sesan a little confused. A player who has never played a game for Manchester United this season can actually be in the Champions League group stage?
What medicine does Solskjaer sell?
But soon, Kong Sesan understood...tactical needs!
This time, the reason why Hudders Wilson appeared in the lineup was mainly because of the double center tactics formulated by Rui Faria for Manchester United. When Yang Xiaozhuang was not on the court, Hudders Wilson's ability to grab points in the middle was still what the team needed.
Manchester United's sudden change of teams also caught Porto off guard. Before the game, they only thought about how to deal with Manchester United's 4-3-3, but what they waited for was a 4-4-2!
Now... Porto was passive from the beginning of the game, but Manchester United played a big and open and close attack routine that he was not familiar with. In just 13 minutes in the first half, Martial received a pass from Luke Shaw in the left penalty area and sent a pass to the small penalty area on the right. Hudders Wilson easily headed the ball two meters in front of the goal.
0:1, Porto, who was fighting at home, faced Manchester United, who did not produce all the main players and was practicing new tactics, but actually lagged behind first!?
Kong Sesan was crazy when he saw the team's performance. He played with the "Red Devils" who were in full shape. It would be fine if we couldn't play. In this situation... he couldn't play even if he couldn't play?
Disgraceful!
It's so shameful!
After Concesan yelled into the stadium, Porto's performance finally came to normal, and in 26 minutes, their Brazilian midfielder Otavio tied the score.
But after the game entered the second half, the situation on the court changed suddenly. Martial, who had only one assist in the first half, had no wonderful performance suddenly... exploded!
In the 52nd minute, Martial took advantage of the corner kick to win the corner kick from Luke Shaw, who was the left forward in this game, scored the goal of Porto's goal... 1:2, Manchester United led again!
In the 57th minute, Hames Wilson suddenly pulled the side, received a long pass from Luke Shaw and sent a cross. Martial used his speed to run in the middle to grab the ball in front of the back goal and pushed the ball into the home team goal again... 1:3!
After seeing Martial's performance, Solskjaer off the court couldn't help but stand up and applaud... 2 shots and 1 pass, Manchester United's three goals were related to Martial, and Jamese Wilson's performance was also good. Although this kid performed quite averagely during training, today's game also contributed to the team's 1 shot and 1 pass.
Rui Faria laughed at the side and said, "Ole, I really can't tell. The performance of the forward pair you chose is really good. I originally thought they lacked strength and the effect of sending Marcus on the court might be better. I didn't expect these two people to play such a good effect based on their speed!"
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer nodded repeatedly with a smile... It seems that there are still many players in our team that I have ignored before, and there is still a lot of potential that has not been discovered!
Yang... Maybe he may not be just for their position when he helps Martial and Wan Bisaka speak this time, but probably to remind me to pay more attention to the team's marginal players?
In any case, Manchester United came to Porto to play away without much effort, without exercising much, not only practiced the new tactics that Rui Faria created for the team, but also easily took away a victory.
After the game, Manchester United had 4 wins and 4 wins in the Champions League Group H this season, 6 points more than Porto, ranked second, and 9 points more than CSKA Moscow, ranked third, and two rounds ahead of schedule... got the right to qualify in the group!
In fact... Manchester United has actually locked in the top spot in the group in advance. Now, theoretically, there is only Porto that has scored points to catch up with Manchester United. They lost to Manchester United in both home and away games in the group stage, and the goal difference is 20 different!
Chapter completed!
