Chapter 204 Collision
"The first half is almost over."
"If the second half continues like this, we will lose badly."
Is there any way?
Lyman looked at Li Yanqing, who was frowning to the side.
His specialty was assigning defensive tasks, but even he couldn't think of any good solutions in this situation.
Our own players made no mistakes.
It's entirely because Pogba's form is just too incredible.
They couldn't gain a significant advantage in other positions to compensate for their loss in the mid lane.
"Don't rush, I'm thinking."
At this moment, all Li Yanqing could say was that his mind was full of dirty tricks.
Because under normal circumstances, there really isn't much that can be done.
This was the first time he had encountered a situation where Lars Bender and Baselli, the team's best defensive players, were completely unable to perform.
Pepe is getting on in years; it's good enough that he can block the ball's path.
If you let him go head-to-head with Pogba, he'll most likely end up in a bad situation.
As for Matias, he accomplished his task in the last match against Manchester United.
It seems that it didn't have much effect in this match.
Instead, it left their own left flank with one less player to fight.
David Lewis is alone and cannot carry the burden.
The last time they conceded a goal, it was from the left flank.
"Counterattacks are definitely going to happen, and Ibrahimovic has no room to operate in the attacking third."
"In the second half, bring on Murphy first, and then let Pepe be in charge of distributing the ball."
This is the only arrangement Li Yanqing can make for the time being.
Let's see if we can pull off a surprise attack and score a goal.
As for direct confrontation...
It's better to skip it.
During halftime, Lehmann was responsible for relaying the head coach's tactical instructions.
Li Yanqing himself found Nawei.
"Did you see Pogba's performance in the first half?"
Record it all.
"Don't worry, he's in great shape. I even hired an extra person specifically to film him." This is one of Neville's tasks.
As he is in charge of technical guidance, he will naturally pay attention to the players who perform well on the field.
"Okay, we'll analyze it slowly when we get back."
"This guy's performance before was like he was on steroids."
"Leaving aside the basic skill of hitting exactly where you point it, the most outrageous thing is that they seem to be able to instantly determine the best passing route."
Li Yanqing explained the key points, emphasizing that this was precisely the ability Quinn lacked most.
He has a fairly broad perspective, but he always takes a long time to make judgments.
"This is also a matter of experience and teamwork."
"However, players at this level can basically tell where to pass the ball just by looking at their teammates' playing style."
"Consciousness largely depends on intuition..."
Neville felt that learning this was a bit of a stretch.
Just a few years ago, this ability was considered a talent.
However, Li Yanqing clearly didn't take those words to heart.
Comprehension?
He didn't believe Quinn could lack any insight.
Let's take a look at the "sudden realization type of player".
Meanwhile, Quinn himself was sulking in the locker room.
"Coach, I understand the tactics, but how does he manage to assess the situation so quickly?"
"Several times he passed the ball directly into his own blind spot!"
The players couldn't understand why someone could make such a high-quality pass with their eyes closed.
This is a topic completely beyond the scope of what young players are learning.
That's why he was constantly outmaneuvered by the opponent in the first half.
"It's not about judging the situation in an instant."
"Perhaps he makes judgments very quickly, but people always need time."
"As for passing it on with your eyes closed..."
"That's because if his teammates don't receive the pass after he makes that pass, it's not his fault, it's the teammates' fault."
"This is a tacit understanding."
Lyman glanced at Pepe as he finished speaking.
The opposing team often made this kind of pass when they were on the national team, and it usually landed in the same spot.
The person who receives the ball is always the same: Cristiano Ronaldo.
That's their unspoken understanding.
However, explaining these things to Quinn now might seem unreliable to him.
That's because he didn't have any teammates on the team with whom he had developed that kind of chemistry.
He made the most passes to Ibrahimovic, followed by Murphy and the wingers.
Ibrahimovic is always surrounded, so he can't just pass the ball randomly.
As for Murphy and the two wingers, they are not the type of players who run according to their positions.
They all came based on the situation.
"If you don't understand, Li will explain it to you later."
"Don't think about that now, just play well in this game!"
"Being down by one goal, what's so scary?"
“Yes, there’s nothing to be afraid of, just watch me,” Matthias replied to Lyman.
It's just that probably no one will hear it.
He spoke through gritted teeth, in a voice only he could hear.
Pogba's boastful behavior after scoring really infuriated him.
afraid?
He's not afraid at all!
The second half of the game begins.
Ibrahimovic has been substituted, and Murphy has taken his place as the team has to change tactics.
At least they still have some ability to fight back.
Anderson's inside cuts alone are not enough to score goals; he is better at going down the flanks.
The atmosphere among the fans in the stadium was electric.
Burton's fans didn't complain about the home team's deficit; they continued to chant loudly, hoping their team could put on a better performance to retaliate.
Manchester United fans, on the other hand, did their best to make their voices heard, so that their team wouldn't feel like they were fighting alone.
There was no mutual insults or attacks; everything was peaceful.
The peaceful atmosphere was shattered just three minutes into the second half.
After a scramble for the ball, Pogba and Matias both fell to the ground in pain!
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
Almost no one at the scene could see what was going on, so the referee had to stop the game to deal with the two of them first.
On the surface, it appears that Matias bumped into Pogba in the waist during the scramble for the ball, while the latter elbowed Matias in the chest.
Both of them had bruises on the injured areas.
There is no VR referee yet, so in order not to delay the game, the referee immediately gave each of the two players a yellow card.
It means he doesn't care what the truth is.
But neither of you are allowed to continue this commotion.
Anyone who causes trouble may be penalized.
"asshole!"
"I didn't use any force at all!"
"This guy attacked me!"
Pogba was very unhappy with the referee's decision and sat on the ground shouting at the referee.
But when he shouted that, Matthias on the other side was unhappy and pulled down his collar, revealing his bruises again.
"Is this what you mean by not using force?"
"If they were facing some of the more vulnerable players, they wouldn't be able to play at all right now!"
"He even deliberately bumped his waist into my hand!"
Should I bump my waist into his hand?
It was obvious that this was the first time the referee had heard this argument.
So shameless!
Who taught them all?
