Chapter 766 Infinite

For Manchester United, Sevilla is a relatively unfamiliar opponent. However, almost everyone is optimistic that Manchester United can win, and Manchester United itself is no exception.

Because he returned to China, there was the Premier League, Ferguson even hid the captain Yin Jun in this game. In his opinion, Sevilla is just a mid-range team in La Liga and it is not difficult to defeat.

For Sevilla, Saviola, who helped the team win the League Cup championship on loan last season, did not make it to the roster. Brazilian right-back Alves, who just became the best player in the League Cup last season, and Danish midfielder Paulson, who joined this summer, started.

At the beginning of the game, both sides played very fiercely, especially in the first twenty minutes, one player on both sides was warned by yellow cards, which showed that both sides fought fiercely and neither of them was willing to give in.

Manchester United seems to be slow to warm up in this game. Perhaps no one takes this European Super Cup seriously. The players' condition has not been adjusted for a long time, so they don't seem excited enough. In addition, the opponent Sevilla's defense is very strict, and the offensive end seems a bit sluggish. Scholes alone is difficult to hold on to the situation in the midfield. The combination of Fletcher and O'Shea's double midfielder ensures the team's defense, but the previous offense still cannot open the situation.

Sevilla's preparations were obviously more fully prepared and his attitude was more positive, which made them score in the 7th minute. Fabiano's shot from the middle of the penalty area was saved by Van der Sar, but Renato followed up and made a free shot into the net, and the score on the field became 1:0.

Since then, Sevilla continues to control the game, and Manchester United has no chance.

Just when Ferguson was about to accept the end of the first half with a score of 0:1, in the 45th minute, Sevilla expanded the score, Navas headed the ball outside the penalty area, and Canute headed the ball forward and backward into the empty goal.

……………………

The result of this made Ferguson's face dark after two goals in the first half.

Although the European Super Cup is also a warm-up match, a warm-up match held for the Champions League, as a giant like Manchester United, it has its own pride and it is absolutely impossible to accept a crushing defeat under an opponent like Sevilla.

In the locker room, Ferguson once again turned on the hair dryer and sprayed the Manchester United players who played in the first half. Especially Ferdinand, who had just been elected as the best defender of the Champions League last season, was even more criticized by Sir Jurgen Kwok. Because the English central defender was unshirkable in both of Manchester United's two goals conceded in the first half.

After the second half of the game, Manchester United, who was tortured by Ferguson's hair dryer for fifteen minutes, began to increase the offense, especially on both wings, Giggs and Ronaldo were very active. However, Manchester United's offense was loud and thunderous. Although it seemed that the offensive was thunderous, it did not pose any threat to Sevilla's goal.

This made more than 10,000 Manchester United fans at the scene feel a little dissatisfied.

From the warm-up match in South Africa, to the Amsterdam Invitational, and to the current European Super Cup, it seems that the team has not been able to work together to develop a smooth style of play, especially on the offensive end.

In all the team's games, except for the first round of the league, when Yin Jun started, Manchester United beat Fulham 5:1, the rest were struggling to win.

Now, when Yin Jun is not playing, Manchester United's offense is like constipation.

Could it be that without Yin Jun, Manchester United would not attack?

Could it be that the team can’t help Yin Jun?

The restless voices of the fans came faintly from the stands, and everyone knew that they had begun to feel a little dissatisfied.

Head coach Ferguson also began to realize that the team really needed some changes.

……………………

The fierce competition has led to the head coaches of all teams using their own poles to explore the opponent's loopholes and weaknesses, and give a thunder blow to defeat the opponent. If you want to avoid being knocked down by the opponent, you have to keep seeking change.

There has never been a perfect and invincible tactic in this world. Only by constantly changing and constantly seeking innovation can we gain a foothold in the professional league, otherwise we will only be hit by our opponents.

As the head coach who has coached for many years, Ferguson naturally knows this very well. He also knows that Manchester United is in this situation now.

On the one hand, he hopes to continue the stable style of play last season, but Yin Jun is not an iron man, so it is impossible for him to play in every game, and he also needs some rest time.

On the other hand, a giant like Manchester United must not simply rely on a player, as it will inevitably be targeted by the opponent. Once it is restricted by the opponent, the team's record will have problems.

Ferguson had to start reflecting on his tactical style. Especially when the fans in the stands began to get restless, he felt that he really had to be bold and change, otherwise, if this continued, his coaching position would be shaken.

Now that the season has just begun, they all have the opportunity to try and make mistakes. Once the season is really deep, they will be even more restrained.

Thinking of this, Ferguson said to assistant coach Mike Ferran: "Let Michael warm up!"

Mike Ferran nodded, immediately walked to the bench, called Carrick, and signaled him to warm up quickly.

……………………

In the 56th minute, Manchester United took the lead in making a substitution. Michael Carrick, who had just joined the team in the summer, made a appearance and replaced midfielder O'Shea.

This substitution did not cause any reaction from fans in the stands, because Carrick's previous warm-up matches and the first round of the league were quite average, and he did not perform very well.

However, the players on Manchester United's stadium received instructions from the sideline coaching staff, and Carrick also brought Ferguson's latest arrangement, that is, the team will start to attack in full swing.

This is a signal of trying to make a big fuss and letting go!

Soon, the situation on the court changed tremendously. Manchester United's entire midfield and frontcourt began to push up, and the defense line also followed.

The trident led by Giggs, Rooney and Ronaldo all pressed towards Sevilla's defense line, and the midfielder composed of Scholes, Carrick and Fletcher also pressed at the same time, forming a pressure and pressure in the midfield and frontcourt.

This style of play made Sevilla feel a little uncomfortable, especially when Manchester United was getting closer and closer to the goal, they began to panic. Sevilla head coach Juander Ramos began to signal the team to push out and not to retreat. However, facing Manchester United, which had a full-scale attack, Sevilla could not attack at all.
