Chapter 413: Try new formations!

After the summer warm-up experience, and the opinions of Scholes and Ferran, Kintag finally determined the starting lineup for next season.

4-4-2 formation: The goalkeeper is De Gea; the back line is a combination of Smolin and Vidic's partner, the left and right sides are Alonso and Raphael; the midfield is Kanter and Lampard, Mahrez and De Braune left to right; forwards are Levan and Griezmann.

After confirming the starting lineup, Jin Taige also made a "sexual" arrangement in training to make these players more familiar with their habits in order to achieve the maximum degree of running-in before the start of the new season.

In addition, Jintaige made a new adjustment during training, which surprised everyone. Not only were the players surprised, even Scholes and Ferran were stunned!

Scholes asked Gintag very puzzled: "Captain, do you want to practice the 4-3-3 formation?"

Jintaige nodded: "After a period of trying, combined with the current technical characteristics of our team, I have been thinking about a question: if the team changes to a 4-3-3 formation, what will the effect be?"

Fei Lan shook his head: "I think the effect should not be too good. After all, Manchester United's 4-4-2 is traditional. Players are very familiar with this formation. Once they change easily, players are very uncomfortable and the team's combat effectiveness will be affected. Influence. "

Jintaige explained: "I don't plan to change to a 4-3-3 this season. I just think about it. In the future, 4-3-3 will be one of the" tide "streams in the development of international football. This formation More flexible and suitable for teams with strong offensive ability. At present, there are many midfielders in our team, and this formation is also very suitable. Of course, if you want to change, you must be stable and play step by step. "

So in this day's training, Jin Taige rarely used the 4-3-3 formation.

4-3-3 formation: The goalkeeper is De Gea; the back line is a combination of Smolin and Vidic with the center back, Alonso and Rafael on the left and right sides; in the midfield position, Kanter is behind, Lampard and De Braun were ahead, Mahrez and Griezmann were left and right as wingers; Levan was at the center.

The Manchester United players are also very puzzled about this change. They don't know why the head coach made this change temporarily. Especially for the old players of Manchester United, they already know the 4-4-2 formation. , Very familiar, this suddenly changed, and really a bit uncomfortable.

Jin Taige's change of formation was originally a simple attempt. He really had the idea of ​​changing formations in his heart. Manchester United has been playing the standard 4-4-2 formation. In many cases, Manchester United's midfield is a parallel position, but in the current mainstream of international football, this formation is outdated. This is not only to say that the formation is outdated, but also that the depth of the parallel formations is not enough, and the use of the width of the venue is very limited. A dozen years ago, Manchester United had both wings with Giggs and Beckham. The flying style can be like a fish, but the current formation obviously has a lot of limitations.

So last season, although Kintag was also using a 4-4-2 formation, he has been changing. For example, letting Kanter's position back to protect the back line; for example, letting two forwards stagger back and forth to echo each other; and letting two wing forwards suppress the center forward and cooperate with the center, which almost becomes 4-3 -3 formation.

Today, on the training ground, Jin Taige changed directly and wanted to see how it works.

He had anticipated it in advance, and the players must be very uncomfortable, but the final result made him very happy-the players were very good at adapting to the new formation!

For the two central defenders, they have hardly changed, but the two full-backs have played a more important role. Because the new formation eliminated the so-called wingback, the two wingbacks had more room to move forward, and they took on more offensive tasks, which allowed Alonso and Raphael to make full use of it.

The three midfielders Kanter, De Brauner, and Lampard played well in training. This is because the new formation requires a high degree of tacit understanding of the midfield players. Not enough, this requires more practice. Gintag has already considered it. After Lampard's two-year contract, it is estimated that he will face retirement. At that time, his own midfield trio is Kanter, Cross and Debrune. The three of them have one defense, one field control and one advancement. They can definitely improve Manchester United's midfield by another level. If they can reach the height of future generations, then the three of them are likely to become the best midfielder combination in the world. one!

Jin Taige was most pleased this time with three forwards. For Levan and Griezmann, they just joined the team, and there was no solid thinking in the 4-4-2 formation, so they quickly became accustomed to the 4-3-3 formation, and Mahrez was extremely The fast speed is like a fish in the position of the winger.

In addition to changing the lineup, Jintaige asked the players to strengthen the control of the midfield and frontcourt. After losing the ball, they rushed back in the frontcourt to expand the defensive area of ​​the entire court and increase the forward speed of the ball.

After two days of training, Jintaige decided to test the effect of the new formation in actual combat.

In the fourth game this time, Manchester United played against the New York Red Bulls.

In this game, Jin Taige directly discharged the 4-3-3 formation to face the opponent. This game became the best match of the four games ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Manchester United played offensive football on the field because there was no pressure. They changed their previous two wings to fly together, the side pass routine, and began to play football. The New York Red Bulls head coach was taken aback, their previous pre-match deployments were all ineffective!

The final game of this game was 3-0, Manchester United scored a big victory.

Although the results were good, they were far from the expectations of Kintag. There is still a big problem in the connection between the midfield and the frontcourt. This is more because the cooperation between players is not tacit. In the protection of the midfield to the back line, Kanter has done a good job and is stable as always; Stability, goals, pillars, bridgeheads, he has done all the things a center should do; Griezmann seems to be more adaptable to the winger than the forward. This new position makes him flexible and wears 』The advantages of Jujia are fully exerted.

Although the result of this game is good, it does not mean that Manchester United will become a 4-3-3 formation. This change is just an attempt. Any new formation change requires a lot of time and competition. Therefore, Jintaige does not think that they will be able to compete in Europe with a 4-3-3 formation next season, but through this change He sent a signal to all players.

Manchester United is undergoing huge changes under his leadership! Red Devils Hei
