Chapter 448 Small and small adjustments are of great use!
Manchester United played Manchester City with a pieced together lineup in the League Cup, and this score really made Guardiola feel uncontrollable.
At the post-match press conference, Guardiola faced many reporters and couldn't hide her disappointment: "I'm very disappointed with the team's performance in the game today. I can't imagine that we would lose so many goals. There were some problems with our attitude towards the game. Next, I will adjust the status of the players and see which of them lacks fighting spirit."
Guardiola is really dissatisfied with his players' performance today. It is not because he scored 5 goals by Manchester United in the game, but because these players lack motivation in the game, and it is impossible to tell that they are playing on the court!
Passing and controlling tactics will indeed slow down the pace of the game!
But if you think that the pace slows down and the stadium becomes a walking square, you're a big mistake!
In Guardiola's tactical arrangement, not only can his players not walk on the field, but even jogging is not enough. His players must pass, transfer, and constantly bite the opponent's defense through fast-paced running positions during the game, and then they will eventually send the ball into the opponent's goal.
For the team led by Guardiola, whether it is Barcelona, Bayern, or Manchester City now, every goal they get is achieved by strength, not luck!
And does Manchester City have the strength now?
That's a must!
As for Manchester City's overall strength today, they are all top in European football, and in England they say they are second, so no one dares to say first!
But his team is so strong, but he only performs like this in this game... How can Guardiola be satisfied?
Facing a Manchester United team that is pieced together, even if it is a away game, even if it is a loss, how can you actually lose 5 goals?
How dare you lose 5 goals!?
Guardiola felt that he was almost ignited by his anger. Today's game was the worst game since he coached Manchester City. He was defeated by his competitors with a garbage lineup. This is no longer a matter of embarrassment or not, this is a shame!
On the contrary, Solskjaer, who was sitting next to Guardiola, always maintained a calm smile on his face, and even when making a post-match summary and answering reporters' questions.
In Solskjaer's opinion, today's game... Manchester United's performance was simply perfect!
Although Manchester United is just a team that is pieced together today, this team has played the power that is not necessarily the main lineup. This result not only makes Solskjaer overjoyed, but also Manchester United has gained "new weapons" through this battle!
Not sixteen-year-old Nigel Rayford, but...pass!
Through today's game, Solskjaer verified his tactical vision well, that is, China Yang, who can only obtain the support of passing a teammate, is still an omnipotent super player on the court.
Previously, both Solskjaer and his predecessor Mourinho underestimated Yang Xiaozhuang's personal abilities. They all felt that this young genius still needed support from his teammates, not only the support on the passing, but also the teammates used their running position and breakthrough to share the defensive pressure from their opponents suffered by Yang Xiaozhuang.
But after playing in this game today, Solskjaer discovered... it was no need!
There is absolutely no need!
China Yang's personal ability is already strong enough. When Manchester United attacks, as long as others can pass the ball to him, he can bring the team what they want... goals!
Since the effect can be achieved with just passing the ball, why do you need to complicate the process?
It is simply unnecessary to let the two wingers share the pressure with China Yang. In this relatively cumbersome process, it also gives the opponent more defensive opportunities, and the team's offensive threat will decrease a lot.
In the future... Manchester United's tactical style really needs to be adjusted. It is good for Martial on the left to break through and pass, but Rashford on the right has played with China Yang for two seasons. As a result, the assists he made on the right this season are still limited. Once the team's offense hits the right, it will suddenly get stuck and the threat will plummet!
At this time, Solskjaer was no longer worried about whether Demarle Gray's departure would have a negative impact on the team's combat effectiveness. He began to feel that Rashford was a bit redundant.
Unconsciously, Solskjaer's criterion for measuring whether his players are "useful" has become whether he can provide support to Chinese Yang in the game.
After the game, the English media blew hard around the "Red Devils". After all, it was just a pieced together Manchester United, and they could even play 5:0 at home. It would be impossible to brag about Manchester United with such a performance!
However, many media that tend toward Manchester City are also arguing for the team they support, saying that although Guardiola seems to be dissatisfied with the team's performance, in fact, he and his team voluntarily gave up the League Cup game.
When the weekend four days later, the two sides will play the 10th round of the Premier League at the City Stadium and have the top battle, the "Blue Moon" will show their true strength. When the time comes to Manchester City, who will return to their home court, they will definitely show that they are not inferior to Manchester United.
This statement...is not unreasonable!
Although the possibility is not great, Solskjaer and Manchester United coaching staff are both old players. Their experience is very rich, so it is impossible for them to feel that they can really win the "Blue Moon" because of Manchester City's poor game.
What's more, Guardiola did hide his hands in this League Cup game. Manchester City's defense is basically composed of central defenders, and both fullbacks are guest stars by central defenders, which means that Manchester City's pass-and-control tactics have not actually exerted 100% of their power.
But... when the two sides play the top spot on the weekend, Manchester United will not remain unchanged!
The next day, when Manchester United players were on vacation, Solskjaer and Manchester United coaching staff specially formulated a tactical adjustment plan for the tenth round of the league with Manchester City on weekends.
In this plan, Manchester United's adjustment was not big, but they just retreated all the team's attack line backwards for ten meters and the midfielder retreated five meters backwards!
Don't underestimate the ten-meter or five-meter retreat. This seemingly small fine adjustment makes Manchester United's formation compact, and Yang Xiaozhuang's activity space is also larger than before. Once he gets a chance to counterattack, it will become more threatening.
Chapter completed!
