Chapter 118 We want to attack!
In the visiting team's locker room, Mourinho and other players all came back and asked with a gloomy face: "Tell me, why are our tactics different from mine today?"
Well!
Manchester United's stars were silent. They originally thought that nothing would happen. After all, although the team did not play according to Mourinho's tactical arrangements, the team is still ahead now, and it is two goals ahead!
Logically speaking... although the process is different, isn't the result very good?
Why did something go wrong?
Mourinho frowned and looked at the stars of Manchester United with a serious expression, without saying a word!
At this time, the old captain Carrick sighed helplessly in his heart: It seems that it’s time for me to appear! It’s time to take the blame!
Carrick immediately raised his hand and stood up and spoke: "Boss, it's my idea to change the team's tactical style. I think our strength is strong enough now. We don't need to be afraid of any opponent. We need to play a strong offensive and crush all opponents, just like what Alex led us to do! Manchester United... need to have the courage and confidence to defeat any opponent, that is the 'Red Devils'!"
Well!
Seeing Carrick stand up, Mourinho was stunned. He had actually thought in his heart that this matter should be caused by Pogba behind his back, but he didn't expect that the person who stood up would be Carrick.
Mourinho knows who Carrick is, he should be said... Carrick's temperament is actually quite soft. If Rooney didn't pick a big guy from the slut, he might not have made Carrick the captain of the team, because... he is just a good old man!
Just such a good-looking man can do something like this that privately changes the head coach's tactical arrangements?
Mourinho frowned, looked at Carrick, turned his head to look at Pogba who was bowing his head and silently. Suddenly he felt like he wanted to laugh... Pogba wanted to be Manchester United's "king"?
Well, you have the skills, strength, and the advantages of "bloodliness", as well as the status of international football. After all, your value is there!
But, do you have the courage?
Can you be as brave as Cantona back then?
Just like you, if you make trouble, you still hide behind and let others beat you. Why can you be Manchester United's "king"?
With a sneer in his heart, Mourinho quickly measured a lot of things, then waved his hand, signaled Carrick to sit down, and then looked at all Manchester United players with a calm expression: "Do you all think that our Manchester United is now strong enough, and we can face any opponent without fear?"
"Yes!"
"Yes! Boss, we can all play three goals away from Manchester City in the 'Manchester City Derby'. Who can stop us?"
"Boss, let's attack!"
"Boss, to restore Manchester United's former glory, we must not speak only by results. We must also have absolute confidence!"
"Crush! We must crush all our opponents!"
These players from Manchester United are already a little crazy. After being motivated by Pogba before, these kids are now determined to recreate the glory of the "Red Devils". Just like when "Justice" led Manchester United, the more I can't defend, the more I have to invest more strength on the offensive end. As long as I can suppress my opponent with offense, my defense will not withstand too many tests.
The "Red Devil" has always been a heavy attack but not a heavy defense!
But now Manchester United under Mourinho has basically become a team that can only play defensive counterattacks!
Manchester United needed results to boost morale last season, and in the end, he did win the very important trophy of the UEFA Cup with Mourinho's defensive counterattack, but this season... it would be dissatisfaction!
Especially after summer signing and strengthening, a supernova like Yang Xiaozhuang emerged, Manchester United's overall strength is actually not weak. Not to mention the super luxurious lineup of the All-Stars, it is actually not far apart.
His strength has reached this level, but Mourinho is still holding on to his defensive counterattack. This is simply a sign of inadvancing intentions!
If this is not the case, even if Pogba becomes the new captain of Manchester United, he will not be able to inspire some people to "revolution" with him!
It's really...who professional players like to keep playing defensive counterattacks?
The initiative in the game is directly handed over to the opponent. How depressing the game is? Who knows who plays it? Even the defensive players are unwilling to be besieged by the opponent. Successful defense of 99 times is not a credit. If you miss a goal in one mistake, you really make a mistake!
It would be fine if Manchester United was not strong before, but now Manchester United's strength... Not to mention being arrogant in the Premier League, it would be fearless. It's really no worse than anyone else!
In this case, Mourinho still uses his old tricks, which is very unpopular!
Mourinho looked at the excited faces and sneered in his heart: I don’t know the world is so strong! I really think that Manchester United has played a few good games now and can compete with those teams that have invested heavily in many years in terms of strength? Ignorance!
After thinking about it, Mourinho solemnly said: "Okay, since you have made such a choice, then you can try it. If you can do it...then I can change my tactical style, but I don't think we really have such strong strength now!"
Mourinho didn't say much, but he and the Manchester United coaching staff were actually very clear about the level of Manchester United's defense line now... Haha!
It’s okay to meet a team like Spartak, Moscow, with weak attack power. If you really encounter an opponent like Manchester City, this defense line will be broken in minutes!
Not to mention others, as for Bay, the best defender on the defense line so far this season, he has many shortcomings, poor jumping ability, and not calm enough, which is a fatal flaw for a central defender!
As for Rojo, his physical fitness is not as good as Bay, and his temperament is not calm enough, so he is prone to impulsiveness during the game.
As for the full-back...that's even bigger!
None of the Manchester United's full-backs can make Mourinho feel relieved. Either they lack attack power, or they have poor defense, or they have fatal flaws in their technology, or they are... older!
Just a defensive line composed of such a group of slags, they still need to play a strong offensive tactic?
If you really meet a strong opponent, you may finally score a goal ahead and you will miss two on the defense line!
But facing today's opponent... that's definitely enough!
Chapter completed!
