Manchester United was the first to complete the first shot. In the 6th minute, Carrick's long pass in the backcourt found Nani. Hills was tricked by Nani. Nani rushed in and blocked Kante's pass, which was cool and unrestrained.

Brother's freehand shot went over the crossbar with a non-stop shot.

Wen Sheng shook his head, and Van Dijk was inexperienced. He had to stick closer to Xiao Sa with this kind of ball, and use his body to interfere with him. Don't be afraid of being rash, just make him unstable when holding the ball.

During the pre-match tactical study, the coaching staff told Van Dijk that Berbatov's technical ability was very good and he had to be careful about getting passed.

But having said that, you have to look at the situation. If you don't follow the ball even though they are all in the penalty area, you are not seeking death. Don't think that Brother Xiaosha will unload the ball and turn around just because he has his back.

Of course, Brother Xiaosha’s shot is extremely difficult. It might be better for him to push the ball with his back to the middle.

Crystal Palace quickly retaliated with another shot in the 8th minute. The quality was also not high. Mertens beat Rafael and his shot from a small angle had no angle and hit the side netting.

Ferguson chewed gum and stood on the sidelines observing the situation on the court. Manchester United's tactics were not very successful, but Crystal Palace also did not play very well. Evra and Rafael restricted the two wings and returned to defense.

The speed is very fast, De Bruyne is obviously the target of focus, and the offense is not impressive.

Wen Sheng feels that the team needs to slow down the tempo. After getting the ball, it cannot attack too directly forward. It loses too many balls. Slow down the tempo and let De Bruyne first find a state of passing and receiving. At the same time, he also needs to slow down the tempo.

Being able to invest more in attacking forces may give Manchester United a chance to counterattack, but the home side still needs to be bright.

Ferguson could only look at Crystal Palace's control powerlessly. Once Crystal Palace shrinks its formation and plays short passes, his team will not be able to compete with Crystal Palace in control. Their midfield interception ability is not very good, relying on one

Carrick, they have given their opponents quite a lot of shooting opportunities in every game this season, but their defense has always been pretty strong, and Van der Sar has always been strong and outstanding.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson does not think this is a very bad thing, because what Manchester United is best at is counterattacking. Carrick and Scholes in the middle have the ability to pass the ball long and have very good vision.

Crystal Palace quickly missed two passes, and Manchester United all launched a counterattack. The passing and receiving speed was very fast, and the players' understanding was also very high. The Crystal Palace players had to foul to end Manchester United's counterattack.

Ferguson yelled on the sidelines that the Crystal Palace players should be given a card, but Walton was not given a card.

"Too urgent! Too urgent!" Wen Sheng still felt that his boys played too hastily. They must be patient when dealing with a team like Manchester United. What does the team rely on to win against Chelsea?! Patience!

But everyone was a bit anxious today. Ferguson would not set up a bus like other coaches. His defensive area was concentrated between the midfield and the penalty area. He was extremely fierce and tenacious in intercepting at this position. Once Crystal Palace made a mistake in passing the ball,

Then the distance of their attack will be shortened, which is very conducive to their quick counterattack and will not give Crystal Palace a chance to quickly defend.

"Steady, hold the ball! Don't rush forward to attack! Improve the success rate of passing!" Wen Sheng shouted loudly to his players. Under the current tactical system, he is more inclined to attack proactively.

Then De Bruyne's state is a key. If De Bruyne's state is not adjusted well, this tactic will basically fail.

In the second half, Wen Sheng will completely consider assuming a weak position, giving up possession of the ball and switching to defensive counterattack.

Now, he is waiting, waiting for De Bruyne to be in better condition.

Ferguson sat back on his coaching bench and muttered: "This kid looks so damn Italian!"

Assistant coach Mick Phelan was also a disciple of Ferguson and was now Ferguson's right-hand man. Hearing Sir Alex Ferguson's muttering, he not only laughed to himself, but also said that the game had already lasted about 20 minutes, and there was really not much that Manchester United could do against Crystal Palace.

First of all, the players are not in good condition. Rooney is really not in good condition today. Berbatov is as cool as ever. It is definitely not possible to rely on Nani alone to explode in the frontcourt.

Secondly, Crystal Palace is becoming more and more obscene. They always like to control the ball in the backcourt. If you force him, he will have a way to move the ball out and play fast breaks. If you don't force him, he will continue to be obscene.

"Boss, he actually learned your lesson!" Phelan joked in response to Ferguson.

At this time, the battle situation was somewhat stalemate. The ones in poor condition on both sides were on the offensive line, and the ones in good condition were on the defensive line. It was not easy to get opportunities, so Felan was still in the mood to joke.

Ferguson was stunned for a moment after hearing Phelan's words, and then laughed, "I'm not as vulgar as him!"

The tactics of Ferguson and Wen Sheng are actually quite wretched, and they are almost the same.

In fact, Ferguson's tactical play is almost the same as Wen Sheng's, controlling the backcourt, attracting the opponent to come out, and then fast breaking.

What Ferguson does more than Wen Sheng is the rapid pressure in the frontcourt, forcing the opponent to make mistakes and counterattack on the spot. However, Wen Sheng's team often does not do this. They often choose to recycle a bit of solid defense and shorten the gap between them and the midfielder.

distance, and then find the defensive counterattack.

To put it bluntly, the difference in details between the two teams is that Ferguson pays more attention to the battle for ball rights in the frontcourt, while Wen Sheng attaches more importance to the battle for ball rights in the backcourt, because he will help protect his less experienced defense and also help Crystal Palace defend.

In counterattack, both wings are very fast.

Ferguson said that I was not as wretched as him because he saw through that Wen Sheng was still a conservative at heart and advocated defensive stability, especially when playing against strong teams.

In the 24th minute, Crystal Palace once again completed the guidance in its own backcourt. The ball was taken by De Bruyne. After all, Scholes was old and his speed was a flaw. He was half a beat slower and saw De Bruyne.

In the previous gap, he had to shovel hard and De Bruyne was brought to the ground.

"Foul! This is a fucking red card!" Wen Sheng immediately flew into a rage and yelled.

What a great opportunity. Manchester United's midfielder pressed too hard and was penetrated by Crystal Palace. Only Carrick was left behind as a single defensive midfielder. De Bruyne had every chance to advance quickly with his teammates. Klose

It has already retreated and is ready to respond.

Players from both sides huddled together. Crystal Palace captain Speroni rushed to the scene of the incident and put pressure on Walton with his teammates.

De Bruyne is so honest. He got up from the ground within a few seconds. I wonder if it was because of his actions that Walton showed mercy to Scholes and only showed him a yellow card.

!

Ferguson broke out in a cold sweat. Scholes is a big player in Manchester United. His abilities are beyond words. When he was young, he always liked to take cards. Now that he is older and his speed has slowed down, it is easier to take cards. No.

The solution is, he must commit a tactical foul.

Wensheng complained to the fourth official Clattenburg that he was too excited, and Walton showed him a yellow card.

Haha, this is the home court of Crystal Palace, and the fans gave them huge boos.

"Black whistle!"

"asshole!"

"Death to Ferguson!"

"Barbarians of the North!"

Scholes escaped. The Crystal Palace players were greatly affected emotionally. They no longer played so calmly, but were a little eager to score. The team's thinking was not very unified. Wen Sheng felt the danger.

signs.

Just when he wanted to open his mouth and try his best to warn the players on the court, Crystal Palace took advantage of the situation and launched a wave of attack climax.

In the 31st minute, Mertens broke through Rafael and passed through the gap. Manchester United's young center back Smalling made a mistake in judgment and jumped the head. As a result, he picked up Klose who was sandwiched between him and Vidic.

He made a big bargain and headed the ball into the goalkeeper of Van der Sar.

"Yes!" Wen Sheng punched, this was really...

I can’t explain why. I originally thought that doing this would give Manchester United an opportunity, but I didn’t expect that the players actually succeeded!
Chapter completed!
