Manchester United 2 1 Villa Ten Nagger's three-board axe is a nirvana
No matter who the opponent is, no matter what level of football, Manchester United now looks like one"The system is mature"The team can always pull each other into its own rhythm, but it depends on it for its survival"Non-mainstream"The system can't do that. Interesting, interesting, but effective. That was the scene of the 2-1 win over Aston Villa this morning.
The endless running of the two goalscorers reminds me of last season, when United finished second on the counter-attack. Both of them charge quickly and powerfully, so they can tear through each other's defenses. However, exactly how to adjust and how to do it, he does not yet know.
Manchester United have been in good form since the start of the game, so they have been doing very well as well. In the ninth minute, Marcus Rashford dribbled the ball in the middle and combined with two wide players to complete an attack with great precision. It wasn't long before Garnacho got a pass on the right, but he looked a bit shaky. It might have been more effective if he had done it himself.
In the 13th minute, Bruno's combination with Garnacho created a great chance for him. Both balls were good, except a little bit wide. Still, we can see the demand for wide players from this point as well.
But in the 50th minute, the same people, the same place, the difference was that Casemiro Garner created a great chance for Joe, only to be easily broken by Villa's defenders. This time, his pace and timing were poor, in stark contrast to the communication he had at the start of the match.
It was an up-and-down game, but centre-forward Hojlund was of course very happy after his action on the wing. This is a new opportunity. Not only will he be playing the role of wide and central (dribbling, dribbling), but it will also allow him to get more playing time. In particular, he continued his previous ability to score with shots on goal and will hopefully continue to work hard in this game.
It wasn't a chance to play in the 17th minute, but Hojlund was still in good shape, receiving a pinpoint header from a team-mate and being lucky enough to meet the goalkeeper. Bad luck, tight space, unbalanced adjustment, shot into the net, 1-0 lead.
However, after 60 minutes of this game, the old injury **, Manchester United did not last long. Their inconsistent performances and lack of stamina allowed them to run constantly during the race, rather than constantly picking up the pace as they did at the start of the race. Aston Villa seized the opportunity to save a life in the box, and United did the same.
Then, United came up with another tactic, they would constantly pass the ball to the opponent, and then when the opponent was ahead, use the high-altitude combination to complete the final overtake. It's clear that the tall McTominay is a big fan of this tactic because that's how they live.
In this game, as usual, his attack created another goal for United and also gave United a point.
So, after the opening, due to the breakthrough on the wings and the lack of physicality, this became something that United had to do. This tactical arrangement, in Ten Hagger's view, has gradually become"Commonplace", as long as you can win the game, swing the hammer twice, it is enough. In such a team full of dark humor, it is difficult to tell whether this is good or bad.
