Chapter 444 Touch the bottom of the "king"!

The Manchester United lineup was obviously not going to compete with Manchester City in this game. After knowing the lineup of their team at Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United fans were more or less disappointed.

After all, Manchester United just lost to Liverpool at home in the league. Although this game is just a League Cup, supporters of the "Red Devils" still want to see their team defeat their city rivals at home.

If you fail to defeat your long-time enemy at home and your mortal enemy, the Red Army, can't you lose to the "Blue Moon" again at home, right?

In that case... Manchester United has lost two consecutive games that fans least want to lose this season!

If this is the case, it would be really bad for Manchester United fans!

But... after everyone looked at Manchester United's roster, they could only sigh helplessly. The team's lineup today really doesn't look like they want to win the game no matter how they look!

In the lineup, except for Chinese Yang and Herrera, the other four people in the midfield and frontcourt are not very powerful. To put it more, Andreas Pereira has some combat effectiveness, little fat man... Then the upper and lower limits are either high or low. Who knows what he will perform in this game?

But the defense line...is still okay!

Morilla, Varane, and Bisaka are all very powerful. Although Lindelov is already on the edge of the team, if his condition is fine, his strength is still quite strong.

But with just such a lineup, it is quite certain to play against the mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League, but now Manchester United is facing the "Blue Moon"!

The starry sky...Manchester City!

In this game, Guardiola arranged that it was not all the main players, but for the current "Blue Moon", it is actually difficult to distinguish between their main players and substitutes. Anyway... they are all stars!

Aguero, Koeman, Belotti, De Bruyne, Selchi Roberto, Fernandinho, Laporte, Benjamin Mendy, Marginhos, John Stones, that is, Gunn's level in goalkeeper position is a bit worse, otherwise this lineup...a ​​true All-Star Championship lineup!

With Manchester United's lineup against this All-Star team...will there still be a chance of winning?

Don’t talk about the home court benefits, it’s useless even if it’s the dojo…

Even the commentator at Old Trafford stadium complained because he had no confidence: "If Ole doesn't want to win today's game, just don't let Yang play. In our lineup today, it doesn't matter whether there is Yang or not. It's better to give him more rest and just don't play."

The commentator's words made Manchester United fans agree from the bottom of their hearts, and completely resonated... Since the head coach does not want to win today's game, why should Yang be put on the court?

Let Yang take a good rest and wait until four days later, Isn’t it good to go to the city stadium to play the tenth round of the Premier League with Manchester City?

Although Manchester United lost the last round of home game against Liverpool, Manchester United's leader still sat down because Chelsea lost to Leicester away and lost the opportunity to catch up with Manchester United.

However... Manchester City, which was originally ranked third in the standings, has taken the opportunity to catch up. After defeating Everton away, they are now in the standings with Manchester United. It is just that they are temporarily ranked second in the standings because they have 5 goals less.

In the tenth round of the Premier League four days later, Manchester United challenged Manchester City at the city stadium. This is not only a "Manchester City derby", but also a top-ranking battle that determines the throne of the Premier League leader so far this season!

Therefore, Manchester United supporters actually quite understand why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer arranged such a lineup today, but since they have already given up this game... why can't we give up completely?

Let Chinese Yang have a good rest and keep his energy in order to retain his energy for the tenth round of the Premier League four days later?

Even at this time, even Manchester City's head coach Guardiola felt that Manchester United had given up today's League Cup, so they arranged such a lineup.

But……

Did Ole Gunnar Solskjaer really give up?

No!

Of course not!

If Solskjaer really gave up this game, he wouldn't have let Yang Xiaozhuang appear in the lineup, nor would he even appear on the 18-man roster, that would have really given up the game.

In today's game, Solskjaer was lined up with such a lineup, and before the game, he repeatedly said to his players that "the result doesn't matter" and "the purpose is to train troops", but he actually didn't give up on this game completely. He wanted to verify the idea that he had always insisted on in his mind.

But... Solskjaer really doesn't want to put pressure on his team before he verified the result, and he doesn't want to let his team's new captain feel the pressure.

Solskjaer has always known that his core, China Yang is a player with very strong personal abilities, especially at sending the ball into the opponent's goal, but... how strong is it?

Solskjaer didn't know this either!

This time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wanted to take this opportunity to see what the "king"'s personal ability has reached, has it reached Messi's level at its peak, or is it still a bit better?

So in today's game, it seems that Solskjaer has a very weak lineup, completely like he intends to give up the game, but in fact he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get a good look at Yang Xiaozhuang's bottom.

Needless to say, Rayford on the right, this kid is a pure newcomer with no professional experience in playing games. The only thing he can do is to have a very accurate pass.

Andreas Pereira on the left has good overall strength, but his personal combat ability is still average, but his passing skills and awareness are also very strong.

This means that in today's Manchester United's home game against Manchester City, Yang Xiaozhuang would not receive any strong support when the team attacked, but he was able to get more passes from two sides, even Adam Myers and Herrera behind him.

It can be said that this game has not been played yet, but Yang Xiaozhuang will definitely get more opportunities in this game than before, because he is now the only direction for everyone in Manchester United when passing the ball!

In the past games, although Manchester United's offense was also revolving around Yang Xiaozhuang, there were still other choices. Whether it was Martial on the left or Rashford on the right, they all had strong personal abilities, and sometimes they even ended the battle directly.
Chapter completed!
