Stadium Louis II, Monaco, European Super Cup.

The showdown between Gao Han and Ferguson, the two world-class coaches, and the contest between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, both attracted the attention of the whole world, making this European Super Cup attract world attention.

And both sides have made sufficient preparations against each other.

Ferguson unconventionally arranged the 442 formation, or the 4411 formation.

The goalkeepers are Naw si, and the defenses are Leiden Bynes, Pepe, Ferdinand and Dario Serner. In the central defender combination, Ferguson still chose the mature and persistent Ferdinand and Pepe to partner with him. Aldweller, who performed very well after joining Manchester United, was placed on the bench.

The midfield was Carrick dragged back, Matic supported him from the side, Mkhitaryan and Valencia split into two wings, Van Persie broke through, Rooney dragged back and played the front midfielder, which was both forward and back, very mobile, and felt like a five-midfielder.

Ferguson's pursuit of stability is also reflected in Gao Han. After all, this is the first top European event after Paris Saint-Germain's reorganization. The opponent is Manchester United, the Champions League champion last season. Gao Han dare not be careless at all.

The goalkeeper is Courtois, and the defense is Marcelo, Thiago Silva, David Luis and Azpilicueta. The single midfielder Pirlo was dragged behind. Di Maria and Yaya Toure were among them, Neymar, Drogba and Aubameyang formed a trident. Suarez was placed on the bench by Gao Han.

The first game is always particularly difficult, so Gao Han chose to arrange veteran Drogba in the middle instead of Suarez.

Everyone speculated that Paris Saint-Germain would still use the pass-and-control style that Gao Han was good at, while Ferguson's Manchester United would use the pragmatic tactics of defensive counterattack. Both of these speculations became reality, but surprisingly, the game was not conservative at all, but instead seemed very open.

Paris Saint-Germain controlled the ball from the beginning, the midfielder composed of Pirlo, Yaya Toure and Di Maria, plus Neymar, Thiago Silva and Marcelo who were dragged behind, the overall control ability of the Ligue 1 giants is better than that of Manchester United, and it is natural to control the ball.

Manchester United's defensive counterattack was very pragmatic, not snatching the ball with Paris Saint-Germain, but they did not retreat, but took the initiative to push forward, while Rooney in the frontcourt actively retreated, targeting Pirlo.

The front pressure on the back line, Rooney retreated, plus the four midfielders of Aubameyang, Matic, Carrick and Valencia, five Manchester United players suppressed Paris Saint-Germain's midfield, which made the game very intense from the beginning, and was frequently interrupted by fouls, and the rhythm was never controlled.

After the opening, Paris Saint-Germain, who controlled the ball, performed better, Aubameyang was closer to Drogba, the two of them retreated deeper, and Neymar was closer to the middle, which made Manchester United's Carrick and Matic appear very passive, so Pepe and Ferdinand had to push forward to a more forward position.

So, in the fifth minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain created a threat.

After the midfielder fell down continuously, Yaya Toure suddenly passed straight and passed behind Manchester United. Aubameyang penetrated behind at an extremely fast speed, trying to catch up with the ball, but suddenly fell down when he crossed Pepe.

The Gabon international accused Pepe of making a pulling move, but Manchester United central defender said that he did not make a foul. The two had an argument on the court. The referee made a penalty and believed that Pepe had committed a foul, but did not give a card. He gave Paris Saint-Germain a free kick about 35 meters away from the goal.

Pirlo personally took the free kick, which was of high quality, but was too far away and was saved by a snatch.

But soon, Paris Saint-Germain made a comeback.

Two central defenders from Manchester United left behind, leaving gaps behind. With speed players like Aubameyang and Neymar like speed, Paris Saint-Germain began to frequently try to pass the ball directly, finding gaps behind Manchester United's defense line.

Soon, the Red Devils' central defender had to turn around and chase him again and again, and the scene seemed very embarrassed.

Especially in the ninth minute, Di Maria suddenly made a diagonal pass in the middle and passed to the left. Marcelo quickly inserted it, and before Dario Serner, he caught up with the ball in front of the left bottom line and passed it directly into the penalty area.

Drogba, who followed in the middle, volleyed directly without anyone defending, but accidentally knocked the ball away.

Veteran Drogba regretted missing this close shot.

But two minutes later, the Ivory Coast Elephant King reciprocated his favor, withstood the Manchester United centre-back with his body, turned around and made a straight pass, giving Aubameyang a wonderful ball behind him. The Gabon international did not disappoint Drogba's intentions, and he understood and chased after him.

But at the critical moment, Nawǎsi suddenly abandoned the goal and rushed directly to the ball regardless of danger. He was a little faster than Aubameyang and saved the ball first. In order to avoid Nawǎsi, the Gabon international even had to lose the center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Continuously creating opportunities, Paris Saint-Germain seems to have controlled the game.

Especially Pirlo, he frequently uses over-top passes to threaten Manchester United's goal.

But just when everyone thought Paris Saint-Germain wanted to suppress Manchester United and the goal might be close, the Red Devils suddenly launched a counterattack, and Carrick scored a half-high ball to the center line.

Van Persie suddenly retreated from the front, stuck David Luis with her body, and stopped the ball to Mkhitaryan on the left with her chest, while the Armenian quickly got rid of the defensive player and rushed forward with the ball.

Paris Saint-Germain's defense line chased back all the way. David Luis, who made a mistake in defending Van Persie, chased Mkhitaryan behind, but after entering the front of the penalty area, Mkhitaryan suddenly passed the ball across the ball.

Rooney, who had been following up in the middle, stopped the ball to the right, got rid of Thiago Silva and Marcelo who were returning to defense, and pushed the ball into the lower left corner with a right foot.

Courtois was always on guard against Rooney's right foot, and his position was somewhat on the right side. The two Paris Saint-Germain defenders failed to block Rooney's shooting angle in time, which directly caused the shot to hit the bottom of the goal.

One to zero!

…………

"It's still a very classic Manchester United-style defensive counterattack."

After seeing Manchester United score, Zidane breathed heavily.

What makes Van Persis better than Berbatov is that his tactical value is very obvious and has greatly improved Manchester United's frontcourt, so Ferguson did not hesitate to put Tevez on the bench for him.

It was like the counterattack just now, which was very classic. Van Persie, who was supposed to be at the front, suddenly retreated and pulled out a central defender who was defending him, namely David Louis.

Paris Saint-Germain's coaching staff had repeatedly advised him before the game, but David Luis was still careless at the critical moment, which led to Van Persie stopping the ball to Mkhitaryan, and the Armenians were able to quickly throw away the defensive players and drive straight into Paris Saint-Germain's defense line.

At this time, there were only Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva behind, while Rooney, who was originally playing as a midfielder, was at the front of the middle, becoming the end point of the counterattack.

With this trick, Manchester United lost many teams last season, and even in the Champions League final, Bayern Munich fell in this move, which has been tried and tested.

Van Persie, Rooney, Carrick and Mkhitaryan all played their greatest advantage in this counterattack routine.

"Our players are indeed a little too hasty and pressing too much." Gao Han said with a frown.

So far, he has not used a skill card in this game because he still hopes to play a real game with Ferguson. From the beginning to the current situation, Paris Saint-Germain has the strength, but it is slightly lacking in game experience and on-the-spot performance.

"Drogba's performance in this game was also very average," Zidane said helplessly.

In the fourth round of Ligue 1 last weekend, Drogba performed very well. Not only did he score twice, he also contributed an assist. The team's three goals came from his feet, so the team was full of confidence in him.

After careful consideration, Gao Han felt that Drogba had more experience in Champions League games and he was more familiar with Manchester United, so he finally chose to replace Suarez with Drogba and serve as the team's center.

But judging from his performance after the opening, Drogba's condition cannot be said to be bad, but it is indeed average and not active enough, and does not put enough pressure on the two central defenders of Manchester United, which is completely different from when he played in the league three days ago.

"After all, I'm old." Gao Han sighed with sighing.

Drogba is already 34 years old. A player who relies on his body when he was young can still maintain a level of strength like Drogba now at the age of 34.

The current King of Xiang has long lost his peak as he was back then, but his experience and wisdom on the field are sharper and more precious.

But some facts are cruel, but they must be admitted that he can no longer cope with the double matches for a week, and may even be under pressure for a week and one match a week, and time is unforgivable.

When Gao Han and Zidane regretted that Drogba was no longer at the peak, the situation suddenly changed on the court.

After Di Maria intercepted the ball in the midfield, she quickly advanced forward and passed it to Neymar's feet.

After the Brazilian player took the ball with his back, he turned around and got rid of Carrick, and directly dribbled the ball towards Manchester United's defense line. He surrounded the four players and forced the ball out of the middle, relying on his own personal ability in the penalty area to create an opportunity to score.

However, the shot near the penalty spot failed to hit the ball, and the ball was easily confiscated.

Neymar's wonderful performance on one-on-five made the fans of the entire Louis II Stadium cheer.

"He is becoming more and more superstar now." Zidane smiled admiringly.

Gao Han was also very pleased, but he also saw Di Maria's performance. "He is becoming more and more adaptable to the midfield playing style."

In contrast, he was more pleased to see Di Maria's transformation because he knew Neymar's strength from the beginning.

Neymar's wonderful performance greatly inspired Paris Saint-Germain's offense, but when the game reached the 25th minute, Carrick planned a counterattack again.

On the right, Dario Serner dribbled the ball and pushed it across the center line. After passing it to Valencia who was pulling to the side, he quickly inserted it. Valencia also understood and passed the ball to the bottom line.

After Dario Serner received the ball, he observed the penalty area and passed it to the penalty area, and accurately sent it to the front of the small penalty area. Rooney inserted in the back row, and before Courtois attacked, he calmly pushed the ball and scored again.

At this moment, Gao Han on the sidelines had no choice but to spread his hands.

"I'm dizzy. He even stole this move. Can you get some shame?" t
