Chapter 122 Small group!

Chapter 122 Small Group!

It was already early in the morning when Manchester United returned to Carrington base. After Mourinho announced the dissolution of the team, Pogba sent a message to several people, and then pulled Yang Xiaozhuang to eat and drink together.

This time, Pogba chose a small restaurant, which is just one of many industries under his name. Even though the business hours had passed, there were chef waiters waiting.

Along the way, Pogba kept silent and drove the car attentively. Yang Xiaozhuang knew that he was in a bad mood and did not disturb him. When he arrived at the restaurant, he found that the people who came with him were Martial, Rashford, Herrera, Damian, Luca Shaw, and Lingard. These people also arrived at the restaurant one after another.

Yang Xiaozhuang knew that this was a small group that Pogba won over. Although there were actually people in the team that supported Pogba, these people were obviously more important, but... when did I become a member of this small group?

As the owner, Pogba naturally wanted to entertain everyone to sit down and eat and drink. After filling his stomach, he asked the waiter to send tea and coffee, and then sighed.

"Brothers, I've been defeated this time, alas..."

Everyone knows what Pogba is talking about. Herrera, the oldest, patted Pogba on the shoulder: "Paul, don't be under too much pressure, you will still have a chance in the future."

Pogba smiled bitterly and said, "How could it be that easy? This time... I am indeed too radical and too risky! And after defeating Spartacus Moscow away, I was a little careless. When I faced Tottenham Hotspur before, I should have been more cautious."

Now Pogba really regrets it. He was a little confused by the victory before, thinking that Manchester United can beat Spartak Moscow away, and it would be OK to replace Tottenham Hotspur, but... it turned out to be a car!

But Pogba didn't think anyone should blame for this result. He could only say that he misjudged the situation, or... he was not lucky!

During today's game, Pogba really saw how hard his brothers were. Yang Xiaozhuang completely covered the three left, center and right sides in front. Except for his heading ability, he really couldn't take any advantage in front of those high-headed defenders. In other aspects... he really tried his best!

If it weren't for the hard work, Yang Xiaozhuang wouldn't have been named the best player as the loser in today's game!

It is precisely because of this that Pogba officially pulled Yang Xiaozhuang into the small group he formed... Although there are few people, the energy is actually very large!

Rashford, Martial, Herrera, Luke Shaw, Damian, Lingard, and Yang Xiaozhuang who just joined, this almost covers Manchester United's entire midfield and frontcourt, and even the left and right full-backs were attracted by Pogba.

In fact, all Manchester United's offensive forces in the game... that's it!

It can be seen from this that Pogba wanted to make Manchester United recreate the glory of the "Red Devils" and use passionate oppressive offensive tactics and tactics to play, it was really not a temporary idea.

Even no matter what tactical arrangement Mourinho makes, as long as Pogba is willing, this guy can already change Manchester United's offensive rhythm.

But...it seems that all this is in vain!

Pogba took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Brothers, do you think we lost to Tottenham Hotspur today because our team is not strong enough? Or... someone is dragging us down?"

Luke Xiao thought for a while and said, "Paul, it's not really possible to say that someone is dragging him down. Our team's central defender combination... is really not first-class! Everyone is a professional player and everyone knows what central defender means for the team's defense. If the central defender combination is not strong enough, the team's defensive ability will at least be reduced."

Several others nodded in agreement with Luke Xiao's words, and Yang Xiaozhuang was a little confused when he heard it. He focused on how to tear open the opponent's defense line and how to break through the opponent's goal. He really didn't know much about the situation in his team's backcourt.

However... during training on weekdays, Yang Xiaozhuang didn't think that Roho and Bayi's two central defenders were difficult to deal with, and it seemed that they were not as difficult as Tuanzebe!

Herrera sighed: "Actually everyone knows that the club's defense has a big problem...Xiao, Damian, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the central defender."

Seeing Luke Shaw, Damian and nodded with a smile, Herrera continued: "The weakness in the central defender position may cause our midfield and frontcourt to fight hard in the frontcourt, no matter how hard our midfield and frontcourt are, they will not be able to win the team. And... aren't it said that Mourinho is a typical conservative? Why haven't he started to improve our defense after coaching?"

Pogba laughed and said, "I have to blame me for this. Maybe the club spent too much money to buy me back, but the budget was gone, right?"

"Beast!"

Herrera sneered with contempt: "Murinho's transfer operations in recent years must be a trick. He spent a lot of money to support Ibrahimovic and Sanchez. Has it really brought some substantial improvement to the team? Well, just say that Ibrahimovic made enough contributions to the team last season. He is in a bad state now, but what about Sanchez? The Chilean is no longer able to do it now. Don't look at his age like me, but he has begun to have an elderly care mentality, and that's out of salvation. It's a waste of Manchester United's No. 7 wearing it on him!"

Lingard laughed and said, "If you want me to tell me, the club should clean up all useless things such as Sanchez, Ibrahimovic, Mata, Fellaini, etc., and then make up for two powerful central defenders. Then we really have no weaknesses."

Rashford suddenly said: "Brothers, instead of waiting for the club to make personnel adjustments, it is better to expect Axel to return!"

“Axel?”

Pogba and several others were stunned. Yang Xiaozhuang quickly smiled and said, "It's my teammate of Marcus and I in the reserve team. He is also our roommate. He is currently loaned to the Crystal Palace team. He performs pretty well there."

Pogba, Herrera, Martial and others just nodded slightly, not at all. What Manchester United lacks now is the top central defender, Tuanzebe... No matter what, he is only a reserve team, and may come back in the future, but if he wants to become the target that Manchester United urgently needs, it will definitely not work!

Damian suddenly said: "Paul, why don't you suggest to the club to improve the strength of our team's central defender?"

Pogba smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you look down on me too highly! I just made a mistake before, and now I have to keep a low profile. This suggestion... I can't open my mouth for the time being, and I have to play hard in all the next games."
