Chapter 0261 Adjustment

Everyone in the locker room looked at the famous Dutch coach in unison, listening to him.

Van Gaal continued: "Wan Yama has a yellow card, he has become very cautious. This is an opportunity. We ignored it in the first half and make good use of the second half!"

The yellow card given two minutes after the opening game should have been used, but Manchester United players seemed to have forgotten it. Van Gaal had to remind the players to pay attention at this time.

This is Manchester United's opportunity.

After looking at the players, Van Gaal said again: "I won't talk about the issue of defense. We must do a good job in position, assisting defense and echoing. David should pay more attention in front of the goal, command the defense line and position more."

After being named, De Gea nodded heavily at the head coach.

After receiving De Gea's response, Van Gaal once again turned his attention to all the players and said loudly: "There is another point. We must be calm and patient in the second half. The situation in the first half is beneficial to us. We will continue to play like this in the second half. Don't be in a hurry, pay attention to seizing the opportunity!"

Although Van Gaal didn't say anything about the opportunity, everyone knew that he would observe on the sidelines.

As soon as the time comes, Manchester United will seize the opponent's loopholes and fight to the death!

"Don't worry, this game is still under our control!" Van Gaal concluded calmly and confidently.

……………………

After fifteen minutes of the game, both sides returned to the court.

"It can be seen that neither coaches of both sides made substitutions or adjustments during the halftime break." The commentator was analyzing the changes between the two sides in the second half, but found that there was no change.

There was not much change in tactics and players, which directly led to not much change in the situation. Both sides continued the situation in the first half in the second half, and the situation was still stalemate. The pace was very fast, both sides fought fiercely, and the ball rights were transferred very frequently. Both sides fought back and forth, but they never created many threatening opportunities.

Time passed by minute by minute, starting from forty-five minutes, jumping into fifty minutes, jumping into sixty minutes...

Neither side seemed to have any movement.

Fans who watched the game on the spot gradually realized that Manchester United's left side was obviously becoming more and more active, and began to create several threatening attacks.

But relatively speaking, Southampton's frontcourt was like sleepwalking in the front. No one pulled the side, no one ran, and no spark of passion was created.

The right-back Bertrand is not in very good condition.

With the consumption of physical energy, Wan Yama and Schneiderlin's running ability also declined a lot, and their protection of the two wings was also weakened.

In this case, once Luke Shaw and Valencia are almost allowed to insert the full-back as a full-back, and then actively pulling Di Maria, it is easy to form a two-on-one situation on the side of the ball.

Seeing the team's defense and formation loopholes, Ronald Koeman immediately asked the wing player Serbian Tousan Tadic to warm up after 60 minutes.

Three minutes later, in the 63rd minute, Southampton replaced Elia, who performed well in this game with Tousan Tadic.

Throughout the game, Elia had only one shot and performed very badly.

The appearance of Tousan Tadic also indicates a adjustment in Southampton's tactics.

As soon as he saw Tadic coming on the bench, Van Gaal, who had been sitting in the position, suddenly stood up from the ground. He rushed to the sidelines, waved his gestures, and shouted loudly at the players on the court.

He is also adjusting the situation on the team.

All Manchester United players immediately realized that the timing of Van Gaal during the break has finally come!

His gesture seemed to be shouting loudly: Comrades, victory is right in front of us, let's rush!

"Koman made a substitution adjustment again." When Tadic shook hands and patted Elia's shoulders, he quickly walked to the front line and appeared on the left side of the team's frontcourt, the TV commentator immediately began to analyze Southampton's substitution. "It's obvious that Koman has realized that his previous tactical style has lost its effect, especially when Manchester United arranged five players in the midfield, it is necessary to actively open the wing passage."

"It is undoubtedly a good choice to win over Elia who is sleepwalking and replace Tadic. After all, Manchester United has always had an advantage on the wing until now."

"It seems that Southampton still wants to give it a try and win this game!"

The TV screen changed again, and Van Gaal waved his hands on the sidelines and directed the players on the court. Although he could not hear what he was shouting, it was difficult to figure out what he was saying from his gestures, but from his excited look, it was not difficult to see that he was asking the team to make a strong blow.

After the formation was changed, Southampton's wing attack survived.

Tadic's first touch after he came on the court made an outing. He stopped the ball and dunked Valencia, forming a breakthrough on the left and then made a cross.

In the penalty area, Pelle still reached the first place under the left and right clamp of two players, Phil Jones and Smalling. He headed the ball back to the front of the penalty area. Ward Prowse inserted it back, stopped the ball in his chest and shot angrily.

The shot was very powerful, but the angle was too straight, and De Gea held the ball into his arms steadily.

"In the first attack after the substitution, Southampton threatened!"

"Koman made a substitution adjustment again." When Tadic shook hands and patted Elia's shoulders, he quickly walked to the front line and appeared on the left side of the team's frontcourt, the TV commentator immediately began to analyze Southampton's substitution. "It's obvious that Koman has realized that his previous tactical style has lost its effect, especially when Manchester United arranged five players in the midfield, it is necessary to actively open the wing passage."

"It is undoubtedly a good choice to win over Elia who is sleepwalking and replace Tadic. After all, Manchester United has always had an advantage on the wing until now."

"It seems that Southampton still wants to give it a try and win this game!"

The TV screen changed again, and Van Gaal waved his hands on the sidelines and directed the players on the court. Although he could not hear what he was shouting, it was difficult to figure out what he was saying from his gestures, but from his excited look, it was not difficult to see that he was asking the team to make a strong blow.

After the formation was changed, Southampton's wing attack survived.
