On the way back to Manchester, Mourinho got the technical statistics of the warm-up match with Fulham. After watching it,... his mood was so complicated!

If we say that the performance of Manchester United players in this game is still good and bad, but if we want to say who has impressed Mourinho more, it must be Lukaku who scored the goal and Yang Xiaozhuang who gave an assist from the right.

As a standing center, Lukaku's performance in this game was not outstanding, but it was very good. His success rate was 92% for 13 passes, and he made 17 wins and 4 times... His header performance was a little worse.

But in the shooting...1 shot, 1 goal!

In the first half, Mourinho felt that the center that cost Manchester United £75 million was worth the money.

The problem is... what's going on with the performance of China Yang?

Yang Xiaozhuangzai has 5 passes in this game, and one shot was also equipped with the goal frame, and he also made the only goal in this game with a cross. This performance... should have been considered pretty good!

But the problem is... passing is a problem!

Yang Xiaozhuang passed the ball 37 times in the first half, with a success rate... Mourinho wanted to cry after watching it!

51%!

The young Chinese boy's passing success rate on the court is actually... only half!

My mother!

Is this your passing skills poorly or your passing skills poorly?

In addition to goalkeeper De Gea who keeps playing long passes and pushes down the success rate of passing, Yang Xiaozhuang's passing success rate is already the lowest in the team, even lower than goalkeeper Romero who came on as a substitute.

Even though he was still sitting on the bus back to Manchester, Mourinho couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, showing a laughing and crying expression to Rui Faria beside him.

Rui Faria is quite puzzled...what does it mean?

After seeing Mourinho pointing "No. 30, Yang" on the data statistics table with his finger, Rui Faria couldn't help laughing... She was very happy!

Mourinho raised his eyebrows: Do you think of it?

Rui Faria squeezed his eyes: Chinese Yang... very good!

good?

Mourinho was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it... he laughed!

No problem, Chinese Yang... is indeed very good!

Yang Xiaozhuang is only seventeen years old now. Just like other talented players of the same age, he would have been devilish if he didn’t have all kinds of flaws!

So although Yang Xiaozhuang's pass was a lot, Mourinho and Rui Faria saw the huge potential in this young man, and also saw his advantages and characteristics... Super strong wing assault ability!

Really strong!

Half game, 5 times out!

26 crosses... Well, although the success rate is only 7%, this is indeed outrageously low, but isn't he still making Manchester United's only goal?

No one stipulates that offensive players must gain something every time on the court, and no one stipulates that defensive players cannot make any mistakes on the court. After all, players are also humans and not machines, so it is impossible not to make mistakes!

So... China Yang's first half performance in the warm-up match was already very good!

After thinking about it, Mourinho said to Rui Faria: "Rui, after returning, edit the video of Yang's game on the court and send it to Bart."

Rui Fariya was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

Mourinho leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and said nothing, but he hadn't actually been sleeping, and his mind was constantly combing everything about the team...

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the team bus stopped in the parking lot of the Carrington base. Mourinho stood up and announced: "Let's rest tomorrow, and train normally the day after tomorrow. The coaching team...the meeting in the conference room."

What time is it? Is it still... a meeting?

Yang Xiaozhuang and some stars who don’t know Mourinho were all frightened by Mourinho’s work attitude. What time is this? Do you still have to take the coaching team to hold a summary meeting?

Rashford smiled and patted Yang Xiaozhuang on the shoulder: "Yang, the club's shuttle bus has long been gone, you can take my car."

"Okay... OK! Marcus, thank you!"

Rashford laughed and hugged Yang Xiaozhuang: "Yang, let's go!"

When the two of them got into the car, Rashford said to Yang Xiaozhuang: "Yang, we don't have to be so polite. You and Axel are brothers, so we are brothers, what do you think?"

Yang Xiaozhuang chuckled and nodded: "Yes, Marcus, we are brothers, too."

Rashford then nodded with a smile: "Yang, why don't we find a place to eat first and then I'll take you back?"

"this……"

Seeing that Yang Xiaozhuang was still a little hesitant, Rashford smiled and said, "Okay, OK, filling your stomach is the most important thing, I'll treat you!"

"Marcus... Thank you..."

"Stop! You damn bastard, don't say thanks to me! Let's go!"

Yang Xiaozhuang didn't notice at all. Today, Rashford's attitude towards him was more enthusiastic than before. Of course... this kid used to call him "brothers".

In the Carrington base, in the first team meeting room, Mourinho and the coaching staff were there, and the "madman" stood at the front with a serious face: "Guys, the team performed badly today, and we had more holes in defense than I thought!"

Mourinho's words made everyone nod slightly. The team's performance at Cravennon Stadium today was really bad. Not only did Sanchez make repeated mistakes in his return to defense, but the entire back line was as fragile as a window paper.

But the defensive problem... It seems that it is really not something that the coaching staff can solve, but it requires personnel replacement. Manchester United does not have a reliable central defender on the defense line. Who can solve such a problem?

After the partners digested it, Mourinho said: "Next, I plan to make some changes to the team's tactics. Since our defense is very problematic, let's try to use offense to play an advantage and use it to cover up the team's shortcomings."

Um!

This method...you can give it a try!

Just as Mourinho finished his plan, Rui Faria and others understood his thoughts. If the team can play a strong offensive, it would not be a problem to lose a few goals on the defensive end, and it would not even have a big impact on the team's performance. It's nothing more than... just to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!

But, can Manchester United's current attack power really reach such a high level?

Lukaku, Martial, Mata, Rashford, Sanchez, Ibrahimovic, Chinese Young in the frontcourt, and Pogba, Herrera, Matik, Fellaini, Lingard in the midfield... Can these people make a strong offensive to completely suppress their opponents, thereby reducing the pressure on their own defense in the game?

Who knows!?

Mourinho discussed some issues with the coaching staff, and finally asked Rui Faria to send the technical statistics of everyone in the team's warm-up match to everyone on the court through text messages... Let them see their performance intuitively!
Chapter completed!
