Chapter 423： Champions League

Although the Premier League started in August, for Jintaige, the journey of the new season starts in September, and it is considered to be fully unfolded. Not only because of the closure of the transfer window in September, the main reason is the arrival of the Champions League.

Kintag's desire for the Champions League exceeds the league championship, because compared to the unchanging league, there are fresh opponents and unpredictable stimulation in the Champions League, which makes people more bloody.

On September 7, Manchester United will welcome their first game of the UEFA Champions League this season at Old Trafford, against the Swedish team Malmö at home.

Jintaige has the certainty to win this game, on the one hand because the team has just won three consecutive victories in the league, the state is in good shape, on the other hand because Malmo is not a strong team, in the Champions League 32 goals In the team, they have the lowest strength, this time to come to the Champions League is purely soy sauce.

Although Jin Taige thought so, in the training field, he strictly required the players.

"Guys, in the next few days against Malmo, I hope you will not underestimate your opponents. The Nordic team is very good in physical fitness. They have distinctive characteristics on the court and a solid defense system. This game will definitely bring our offensive line Trouble, I hope you can play smarter, find more gaps behind your opponents, pass the ball behind you, and use their slow turning characteristics to seek opportunities for goals. "

"Malmo's forwards are very tall. Several of your defenders must pay special attention to their headers. And to minimize fouls, Malmo's positioning ball is very threatening."

In the following training, Jintaige carried out targeted training.

On September 7, the first Champions League game began.

In this game, Jintaige's lineup was also very targeted. In the starting lineup, he replaced Carrick and Cross in the midfield, replacing Kanter and Lampard. The reason for this arrangement is that on the one hand, because the opponent is not strong, Jintaige dare to let Kanter rest, and secondly, although Lampard has a strong impact, Jintaige needs more midfielder scheduling and Passing threats, Carrick and Cross are even better.

In addition to the midfield, Gintag allowed Icardi to replace Levan as the starting striker and partner with Griezmann. Both forwards are very flexible players and will definitely bring more trouble to the opponent.

Under the targeted arrangement of Kingtag, Manchester United played smoothly. The tall players in the opponent Malmo team lost their way in Manchester United's continuous passing, as if a boxer smashed every punch on the cotton, which could not make it out.

In this situation, Manchester United has a lot of opportunities. Every pass from midfielder Carrick and Cross seemed to make Malmo's players frightened, while Griezmann's erratic running and Debrauner's tandem in the frontcourt all activated the United's frontcourt attack line.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Cross made a long pass to find Griezmann, who suddenly stepped in. Griezmann faced the attacking goalkeeper, calmly pushed the dead corner, and the ball answered the net.

1-0, Manchester United scored!

In the 28th minute of the game, Debrune and Gleizman on the right side continued to cooperate, and Glezman finally made a long-range shot outside the penalty area.

2 to 0, Manchester United expand the score advantage!

In the 42nd minute of the game, Carrick suddenly brought the ball in front of him, and suddenly attracted the attention of many Malmo players. He found a passing line in the crowd and secretly passed the ball to Icardi. Ikaldi shot hard after receiving the ball, and the Malmo goalkeeper did not respond.

3 to 0, Manchester United has won!

By the end of the first half, Manchester United had already achieved a three-ball lead, which made Manchester United very happy.

In the second half, Gintag replaced with a substitute, Marshall, Stones and Coulibaly came on stage, replacing Mahrez, Raphael and Smalling. Kintag wants to make young people feel more about the Champions League game. After all, such opportunities are rare.

Marshall was transferred to the left and he was also very active after coming on the court. Several breakthroughs created a killer and almost broke the opponent's goal.

And after Coulibaly came on, his tall body also caused a lot of trouble for Malmo's forward. In defense, Coulibaly can cooperate with Vidic, which has greatly improved his technology and experience. helpful.

While young Stones is playing for the first time in the Champions League today, he seems a little nervous and made several mistakes in defense. The captain Vidic on the field comforted him: "You guys, don't think of this game as the Champions League, just as a regular Premier League game. And our opponents today are weak, not even as good as the Premier League mid-level team, so you can rest assured Go boldly. "

Inspired by Vidic, Stones also played better and better, gradually finding the rhythm of the game.

Vidic's mission is even heavier because he replaced with new aids Coulibaly and Stones ~ www.novelhall.com ~. He understood Kintag's idea and took advantage of the team's worry-free chance to win. The two young men who joined the team are going to practice leveling and let them take them. So while Vidic is doing his job, he also guides two young defenders on the field in various ways to help them grow.

Looking at Vidic's performance on the court, Kintag is very happy.

It seems that he really found a good captain.

Not only was the team's first captain Vidic, who was very satisfied with Gintag, but the team's second captain Carrick also performed very well.

The cooperation between Carrick and Cross was also very tacit in this game. Both of them had strong passing abilities. The two cores played together in the game, making the opponent unable to effectively mark.

In normal games, Carrick rarely participates in defense. Generally, Kanter or Naingolan is behind, but because of this match with Cross, Carrick is willing to become a green leaf and retreat. Undertaking a large part of the defensive task, he gave Cross more opportunities for performance. In the handling of some key balls, Carrick continued to help the young Cross through his own example.

In the 72nd minute of the game, once again counterattack, Cross's long pass found Griezmann, who broke into the penalty area and shot the net.
