Chapter 2336 Silence and cheers(1/2)
This game was once a four-point round, and suddenly it attracted attention from all parties.
Other national league teams are fine, but ordinary teams will hardly meet Manchester United, and teams that are capable of participating in the Champions League are just a little attention.
Because I really have to consider becoming an opponent, I will talk about it next year.
The one who faces Manchester United more directly is this year's Europa League top 8 teams, especially those that may face in the future.
The Europa League knockout round started on February 17. At that time, Park Tae-yeon had already returned to Manchester United. Although his name was not written on the Europa League 21-man A roster, he was given one of the six replacement places on the B roster.
But I didn't expect to see him play so soon, but I really have to calculate it carefully. In fact, the playing time is not too late.
After all, it has been two months since he returned to Manchester United.
The opponents have been waiting for this day for a long time. Everyone was expecting that the two-year window period would deteriorate his competitive state a lot.
Since returning to Manchester United, I have not been on the roster once in more than two months, and the outside world is speculating like this.
I feel that I will not be on the court this year, especially in today's game, and everyone did not expect it to be on the court.
Because in the Premier League, Manchester United had only played against Chelsea, which ranked first, and even such a critical game did not make it to the roster.
This game was heart-wrenching, and Manchester United narrowly defeated their opponents in the end.
But today, after everyone saw the big list, they realized something was wrong.
It seems that Manchester United officials are more concerned about the Europa League than the league.
But thinking about it, winning the Europa League championship not only directly has a ticket to the Champions League next year, but also another thing worth mentioning is that Manchester United has never won the Europa League championship.
If you win the UEFA Cup this time, the team will soon become the fifth European Grand Slam team.
The Grand Slam generally refers to the "three major European Cups", namely the Champions League (Champions League or Champions League), the UEFA Cup (and its predecessor League Cup), and the European Winners Cup champion (has been suspended).
Previously, only Ajax, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Chelsea won the three major cup championships.
Indeed, thinking about it this way is more reliable for Manchester United to work hard in the league, it is better to put all their energy into Europa.
Park Tae-yeon may be such a secret weapon. He would not play against the league and champion Chelsea, but instead used it as a heart-boosting agent here.
That's right, it's a heart-boosting agent. Now all the teams that pay attention to Park Tae-yeon will not doubt whether his situation has returned.
Judging from Mourinho's move, he wasted a replacement position in vain.
It can be seen that Park Tae-yeon's state should definitely be worth the effort.
If you don’t say anything else, it depends on Manchester United’s own players.
Not only did he not feel dissatisfied with the head coach's approach, he also watched him put on the captain's armband with convincingly.
Even Rooney, who had worn the team logo on the court before, helped to make a "stepping stone" for a while?
Of course, Rooney and Park Tae-yeon have a good relationship, which is something that everyone knows more.
The captain's armband was not surprising. In the late stage of Manchester United, Park Tae-yeon had already become the captain on the field.
But then again, is Manchester United still the same now as Manchester United? There are probably not many of them on the court who are still Park Tae-yeon's teammates.
Don't you really have any objections?
The fans' reactions are not too much, this should be a normal reaction to the glory he brought to Manchester United at the time.
What we need to see is the team members, but looking at everyone's reaction, there should be no dissatisfaction.
You should know that others may not know what Park Tae-yeon's current strength looks like.
The Manchester United players of a team must be clear, because Park Tae-yeon has been training with the team for at least more than a month.
I guess it's been clear whether the player he met for the first time was convinced or not?
Anyway, at this moment, the coaching staff of various Premier League teams were holding small notebooks in front of the TV and recording with a sad face.
Before Park Tae-yeon came on the court, Manchester United's lineup was 4-5-1, which is the most commonly used lineup for Manchester United this season.
Let the old forward Ibrahimovic hang in front alone to strengthen the midfield control ability, but in fact, the problem can be seen, that is, there are not many powerful forwards.
Now that Park Tae-yeon's lineup has changed immediately, becoming the 4-4-2 that Manchester United used to be.
Ibrahimovic and Park Tae-yeon's two strikers will change Manchester United's attack power, let's wait and see in this game.
"There's a problem. If Mourinho made such a move against our team, I think our young man shouldn't have done this, but would have been aroused to be competitive, right?" Manchester City coach Guardiola asked his assistant coach in confusion.
Unlike Chelsea, they have finished their last league game with Manchester United, and the league after the second game is that Manchester City will face Manchester United.
As two teams in the same city, the derby battle never requires mobilization. The same victory or defeat is of the same significance to both teams.
Originally, the positions of the two teams have changed in the past two years, and Manchester City has gradually beaten Manchester United. He doesn't want any changes to appear because of the appearance of a certain player.
"Maybe it was because I had faced it directly that I realized how powerful Park Tae-yeon is, right?" the assistant coach thought for a while and replied.
"?" Guardiola turned around in confusion.
"You asked me to prepare Park's information. Anderlecht should have many Belgian internationals. In the 2014 World Cup, he should have played against Park." Without looking through the information, although the team will meet Manchester United after two games, they have been ready to deal with this derby battle.
Therefore, no matter how hard it is to study Park Tae-yeon, who is likely to appear, it is impossible to miss it.
"The last game of the group stage is South Korea vs. Belgium. Under Park Tae-yeon, the South Korean team beat Belgium for 90 minutes. It can be said that Belgium is huddled in front of the goal to defend the game." The assistant coach paused and said, "You should look at that game. Although two years have passed, you can see how strong he is. At least I feel that during the World Cup, he was much better than in the team. You should know that with the South Korean team, there is no such defense line that Manchester United can reassure him and the midfielder that can cooperate comfortably."
Guardiola nodded. When he came to coach in the Premier League, Park Tae-yeon had retired, so he had never faced each other, but he did not underestimate the other party.
"I will see it. Since Mourinho values him, he must have his reasons."
Park Tae-yeon has been playing for 3 minutes, but the team seems to have not adapted to his existence, but instead habitually attacks towards Ibrahimovic.
However, it can be seen that Anderlecht attaches great importance to Park Tae-yeon, one person specializing in guarding and the other person assists in defense, which pays more attention to Ibrahimovic's defense.
"Compared to when I was at Manchester United before, Park was more comprehensive during the World Cup, and would cooperate with his teammates to provide assists. To be honest, if it weren't for his teammates' bad, he could score goals in many attacks." The assistant coach continued, organizing the information he had compiled.
Because the window period is too long, it is all about digging out previous information, and Park Tae-yeon's last shining moment was his performance in the 2014 World Cup.
"Yeah?"
"Yes, before the World Cup love, he suffered an injury and rested for almost a month, but the injury had no effect on him, but it became more comprehensive."
"So fast... The pass is as accurate as you said, it's a pity..."
It's a pity that Ibrahimovic missed the opportunity, or it's a pity that Park Tae-yeon is his opponent, not his own player.
You should know that since we learned that Park Tae-yeon has the intention to return, Manchester City has been in touch. Such a player is indeed the most comfortable thing in his own hands, not in his opponents.
Looking at the confrontation on the court, Guardiola didn't know whether she was looking forward to Anderlecht's victory or Manchester United gaining an advantage.
After all, if Manchester United loses the Europa League, they will devote themselves to the Premier League game physically and mentally, which will have a significant impact on the changes in league points.
The football match is a 11-man game after all. Although Mourinho made a move, mobilizing the momentum of all home fans and the fighting spirit of the players on the field, the opponent is not a piece of paper.
If he admits defeat like this, what else can he bring? After all, there are only a few who have played against Park Tae-yeon in the World Cup, and most of them have heard of his fame.
As for whether it deserves its name, I have to compare it to find out.
Since Guardiola has watched the game, he is also paying attention to Anderlecht's players to see if there are any players who are lit up. You can try to dig it out at that time.
"What a pity." He said this again because Anderlecht's shot was saved by goalkeeper Romero.
Today, Manchester United goalkeeper is not De Gea, a relative of Park Tae-yeon's age, but Argentine's national goalkeeper Romero.
The ball was quickly thrown out, Manchester United started the counterattack, and then the central defender made a strong shot behind the ball.
Guardiola subconsciously wanted to curse when he saw it. Espanyol liked short passes to cooperate even more. Of course, he was not against such long passes. Such fast and large passes were not a waste of opportunities. Who can catch up with them...
Just as he thought of this, he immediately leaned forward, because in the picture, a red figure rushed forward quickly, quickly caught up with the opponent's defender in front of him, and then quickly surpassed.
The long pass that seemed like a waste of opportunity was going to become a one-on-one ball?
The defender hesitated and had missed the opportunity to put the opponent. He was determined to make a foul and he had to reach the opponent.
Not to mention such a ball, at least one yellow card, and the more forward the ball, the more it is given to you.
Because Park Tae-yeon also has a free kick.
Guardiola, who also thought of this, frowned. It was annoying that he could not even make technical fouls.
Fortunately, the attack was on the wing, and Anderlecht's central defender was desperately returning to defense, and the goalkeeper hesitated for a moment but did not attack.
Moreover, I was running without the ball before, so I will definitely slow down after getting the football, right? The defender who was unable to catch up before should be able to catch up in time.
However, after Park Tae-yeon touched the ball, Guardio's shrinking brow did not untie it. The speed did indeed drop, but compared to Park Tae-yeon, he ran without the ball, the defensive players behind him still couldn't catch up, but it just opened the distance and slowed down.
Park Tae-yeon runs faster than a defensive player with the ball.
If you have a slow speed, you don’t need to arrange to defend him, as mobile combat will not work at all.
Fortunately, the central defender rushed back in time. After all, as long as he ran a straight line, Park Tae-yeon also had to run a diagonal line, and he was in contact...
Then it was passed...
Facing the goalkeeper lifted his foot and shot, the goalkeeper fell down...
The fake action at high speed turned into a light pick of the football. The football drew a beautiful parabola and passed the fallen goalkeeper...
Looking at Park Tae-yeon who was already celebrating in the picture, Guardiola frowned and confirmed the time. It started to 6 minutes, and Park Tae-yeon played for 4 minutes.
There is also the goal just now. As a coach, he pays attention to the overall situation.
The defensive gap was too large, and one who was thrown away by Park Tae-yeon didn't count. Both central defenders tried hard to defend because he quickly inserted it, but they didn't say anything that was shaken by. The other one was actually attracted by Park Tae-yeon Park Tae-yeon.
To be continued...
