Chapter 447 New changes from Manchester United!
The first half ended soon. When Rui Faria and Solskjaer returned to the locker room together, they couldn't help but say: "Ole, I found that our previous platoon was indeed in a misunderstanding. We don't need an offensive routine that flies to the left and right sides. What our wing attackers need most is not breakthrough ability, but better passing ability!"
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer nodded with a smile: "It's true! Otherwise, how could we easily play Manchester City 3:0 in the first half today? But... I always thought before that since Martial can pass and shoot, he should be able to do it if he gives Marcus a while."
Rui Faria nodded with a smile. He could understand Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's idea. If both Manchester United's left and right attackers could break and pass, then Manchester United's attack would be even more unstoppable.
It’s a pity... Although Rashford gave a lot of assists in the last two seasons, he was still fewer than Martial. This season, he not only had fewer assists, but also fewer goals!
It can even be said that the performance of "Take Master" this season is worse than last season!
This...there should be no problem in terms of strength. The key is probably because of mentality?
This time, Nigel Rayford, the boy emerged from nowhere, and Demarle Gray was completely abandoned by the team. Will this boy Rashford be touched and... enlightened?
In fact, Solskjaer and Rui Faria can understand Rashford's psychological changes, especially Rui Faria, who once served as an assistant to Mourinho.
Rashford was the first Manchester United youth training player to enter the first team with his personal ability and quickly gained a foothold. At that time, Manchester United supporters simply regarded "Rao Master" as the savior, and all believed that this new star with super physical fitness would have great room for development.
But later... Rashford's own progress was too slow, and when Yang Xiaozhuang emerged, he squeezed out some of his development space. But whether it was Mourinho or Solskjaer, they actually gave Rashford enough opportunities to play.
But now it seems that Rashford still doesn't want to be a supporting role in his inner thoughts, especially judging from his performance this season, he and Demarle Grey actually made similar mistakes. When it was time to send a pass to the middle, they chose to break through on their own.
Because of Manchester United's current tactical arrangements, Yang Xiaozhuang is no longer the assaulter who rushes around the wing. Last season, he successfully transformed into a super terminator, so because he faces the opponent's defense directly on the court, he has fewer chances to get the ball. In this case, if he wants to score a goal, he needs the support from his teammates.
The support provided by Rashford, Demarle Gray to Yang Xiaozhuang on the right is really limited. In this case, Yang Xiaozhuang's goals will not be small when playing against a weak team, but once he faces a strong opponent, Yang Xiaozhuang's goals will be reduced, resulting in... Manchester United's loss!
This was the case with Manchester United and Liverpool in the last game. Even Yang Xiaozhuang had already been on the court. After playing for 90 minutes, his shots were only 7 times, which was only half of the number of shots in the usual game!
In the final analysis, it is because the support from teammates is small!
But now, what if there is a long pass from Nigel Rayford?
In the last game, if Manchester United had a precise long pass from Nigel Rayford when attacking, Yang Xiaozhuang ahead would definitely get more opportunities, and the result of the game... would definitely be different!
But... Nigel Rayford has just emerged, and the next thing he has to do is to see what kind of development he has in the team.
Rui Faria believed that if Nigel Rayford developed well and Rashford never changed his personal habits, the fate of "Master La" would probably be the same as Demale Gray.
Manchester United does not lack a Demarle Gray, nor even a master. Or it should be said that the current "Red Devils" do not lack a wing attacker at all. Martial on the left is enough!
In this case, as the leader of Solskjaer, who has made Yang Xiaozhuang the core of the team, will definitely clear the obstacles in front of Yang Xiaozhuang, because... Yang Xiaozhuang's interests are consistent with the team's interests, that is, they are consistent with Solskjaer's interests.
Yang Xiaozhuang is definitely not a selfish "king"!
After finishing the second goal in the first half, he found that Manchester City's defense was getting tighter, so he also changed his playing style on the court, and adjusted himself from a finisher to an assist.
In the 56th minute, Yang Xiaozhuang received a pass from Wan Bisaka in the middle circle of the frontcourt. He turned around and ran to the right side with the ball diagonally. After he saw Nigel Rayford's speed was very slow, he simply snatched his younger brother's right side.
Bang, bang, bang...
Yang Xiaozhuang ran wildly along the right road with the ball and dodged Laporte continuously. After Benjamin Mendy's defense, he began to dribble the ball and cut inward at a position closer to the baseline.
At this time, the entire Manchester City defense line was attracted by Yang Xiaozhuang, but Yang Xiaozhuang saw the opportunity and sent a pass directly to Manchester City's small penalty area on the left... Andreas Pereira arrived!
Dong!
This time, Andreas Pereira did not choose to head the ball without defending, but instead directly smashed the ball into Manchester City's goal...4:0!
"4:0! 4:0! We are already four goals ahead of Manchester City! Today's team's performance completely wiped out the fatigue we had when we played against Liverpool, and our offense showed the power we deserve! It turns out that even Anthony and Marcus did not play, as long as Young is still on the court, we have the ability to defeat any opponent! Moreover, rookie Nigel Rayford's performance today also brought us great surprises!"
What no one expected was that Nigel Rayford's performance...not just that!
In the 69th minute, Manchester United got the opportunity to serve a corner kick from the left. Andreas Pereira made a tactical corner kick. After Yang Xiaozhuang received the pass in the left penalty area, he made a fake shot, but turned around and sent the ball directly to the right side of the arc top outside the penalty area.
At this time, Nigel Rayford suddenly rushed out and shot with an angry shot against the ball...bang!
This sixteen-year-old boy is not in very good physical condition. He is 176 and weighs 65, not strong at all!
