Greenery Reverses The Madness

The highest level of defensive counterattack is to be able to prevent the opponent from attacking.

While Manchester United is not currently adopting anti-counterattack tactics, Seagulls Brighton seem to be afraid of being too cumbersome in positional warfare and investing large numbers of troops.

Because once the ball is intercepted, the defense will be unimaginable.

Originally, Manchester United's Community Shield defeat to Liverpool caused the Premier League teams to use that game as a teaching game on how to beat Manchester United.

But Chelsea imitated Liverpool's tactics in the league opener and ended up being massacred.

As a result, other Premier League teams instantly stopped thinking about imitating Liverpool's tactics.

High pressure in the frontcourt and crazy sniping in the middle and backcourt.

This tactic can suppress Manchester United based on two prerequisites.

The offense can suppress threats and prevent Manchester United's offensive and defensive transitions from running smoothly.

Only players who can keep up with Manchester United's defense have the possibility of successful sniping.

Most teams in the Premier League do not have the hard power to achieve these two.

Therefore, imitating Liverpool's style of play is mostly to pretend to be a tiger rather than a dog.

Brighton couldn't find a good idea and could only continue to prevent counterattacks to the extreme.

Manchester United took the initiative to control the rhythm after 60 minutes of the game.

Mourinho used two substitutions.

Pogba comes on to replace Fred.

Rashford comes on to replace Lukaku.

This was a signal for Manchester United to switch to a defensive counterattack.

Brighton had ideas and Manchester United counterattacked.

Brighton had no idea, Manchester United took three points.

And Brighton did launch a fast break immediately after 65 minutes of the game. No matter what, it is still necessary to fight to the death in the traditional way. Even if it is just a show, you must show your courage.

In the 72nd minute of the game, when Brighton's offensive pass from the frontcourt failed to cooperate and Lindelof headed the ball to clear the ball, Pogba also wanted to organize a wave of fast breaks.

As a result, Ye Yifeng ran very fast. As soon as he took possession of the ball and turned around, he saw that Ye Yifeng had already started running to the center circle, so he subconsciously passed the ball straight over.

When Ye Yifeng led the ball, he pulled the ball in a V shape and changed direction to dodge the counterattack of Brighton players, and then started to rush forward quickly.

Someone is running faster than him!

Rashford and James!

Ye Yifeng crossed the center circle and saw two people waving for the ball.

I suddenly felt like you were real dogs!

Damn it!

I didn't see you working hard when attacking the bus. When there was a chance to counterattack, the grandchildren on the front line ran faster than the other!

Are they waving?

Just knowing that I can pass the ball, right?

You really have a keen eye for recognizing heroes.

I can really pass it on!

An overhead pass with an external spin was sent.

It’s pleasing to the eye and sublime!

James drove forward into the penalty area and made a single stop.

Seeing goalkeeper Ryan abandon the goal, James knocked the ball horizontally, and the British Emperor Star outflanked the goal and easily pushed into the empty goal to score another victory.

Manchester United 3:0 Brighton.

Secure the victory!

Ye Yifeng was somewhat uninterested.

James, you are so cowardly!

A single knife can turn into a cake feed.

I didn't even get an assist!

well.

He now wears the captain's armband.

I can only endure it.

The Brighton generals were disheartened and began to break the pot.

Manchester United had just finished celebrating when Mourinho played the last substitution card.

Matic comes on to replace Ye Yifeng.

Ye Yifeng just walked back to the half-court, and when he saw the substitution coming, the Red Devils fans spontaneously applauded him.

But Ye Yifeng shook his head slightly, not suppressing his emotions.

As I get older, I become more and more angry!

All the Manchester United generals also saw his unwillingness to be substituted.

Somewhat puzzled.

To say that Ye Yifeng just wants to score goals, his performance in controlling the ball on the field does not seem like this.

It seems that he just wants to stay on the court and continue playing football.

Mourinho took the initiative to greet Ye Yifeng on the sidelines. When he reached out to give Ye Yifeng a high-five, he saw Ye Yifeng stopped in front of him and did not raise his hand to respond to him.

Ye Yifeng accepted the substitution, but he had to make things clear to Mourinho.

This is not the first time. You promised me that you would take me off after 75 minutes. Look, what is the time on the big screen now? Tell me, how much is it? I have endured it time and time again, but I think you might I have forgotten the promise I made. If you want to overturn your promise and take it seriously, you can tell me directly!

Mourinho actually turned his head and looked at the big screen. At this time, all the Manchester United generals on the field and the coaches and players on the bench were also paying attention to the sidelines.

The anti-king came in spirit.

Damn it!

Is the big devil going to fuck Mu Gui?

Is it time for an uprising?

Red Devils fans in the stands saw Ye Yifeng pointing at the big screen, and it was clear that they had differences when facing Mourinho.

Suddenly my mind went blank.

What's going on?

On the verge of 20 consecutive wins in all competitions, are the coach and captain going to fight? !

Stop it!

Mourinho glanced at the 74 minutes that had just passed on the big screen. He looked away and looked at Ye Yifeng, caught off guard.

There's only one minute left. Do you care about this one minute?

Ye Yifeng said with a strong attitude: This is not a question of 1 minute or 2 minutes, this is an agreement between us! You should keep your promise! But more than once you don't care whether it is 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3 minutes, and I have endured it. Once, twice, many times, now, I just want to understand, do you still want to abide by the agreement between us?

1 minute?

One minute makes a huge difference to him.

Maybe if you give him another 20 seconds, he can trick the prize pool and pop out a graduated Giggs, Scholes or Henry?

Well now, all the hard work was in vain!

Mourinho was in the wrong and could only appease Ye Yifeng now. Although Ye Yifeng's behavior now seems to have made the conflict public, Mourinho finally tolerated it.

He said to Ye Yifeng: Okay, I understand. You go back to the bench to rest first. I will give you a satisfactory answer after the game.

call.

Ye Yifeng calmed down his anger.

Turning to the bench.

After sitting down, I felt a little regretful. Maybe I should take the initiative to talk to Mourinho behind closed doors after the game.

Instead of saying it directly on the sidelines.

It's just that the mood gap made it impossible for him to stay calm.

When I was walking back after celebrating my goal just now, I made a wish that I would be a great performer today, but as a result, I was substituted without even kicking the ball.

As if to stop him from cheating.

I couldn't hold it back all of a sudden.

But he quickly forgave himself for his impulsiveness.

Who made Mourinho fail to keep his promise?

If the time is not up, get off work early... er, get off work.

It’s not just once or twice, how can I bear it? !

His friction with Mourinho on the sidelines distracted the Red Devils on the field.

Brighton's continuous attacks after the kick-off left the Red Devils in a hurry.

3 minutes later, Brighton got a goal back!

Mourinho was furious on the sidelines!

Pogba looked on coldly.

Although I don’t know what Ye Yifeng and Mourinho said.

Hum.

But it is obvious that Mu Gui is becoming more and more unpopular now.

Dare you lose your temper?

You've even pissed off our Manchester United devil. The end is coming soon, right? !

Manchester United players cheered up, and Brighton also regained hope.

Including injury time, neither team scored again in the remaining 15 minutes.

Manchester United's counterattack was smooth and smooth, but it was a pity that the final kick failed to score again.

Brighton was naive.

The same thing didn't happen to them.

The final whistle sounded.

Red Devils fans cheered the team's 12th consecutive league win.

But everyone has doubts.

What happened to Mourinho and Ye Yifeng?

Ye Yifeng's mood has returned to normal. He high-fived his teammates one by one and left the field with a normal expression.

The camera kept focusing on him, but it was impossible to see any dissatisfaction on his part.

After the game, Mourinho went to deal with the media first.

Fleet Street would not let this incident go unnoticed.

Mourinho's response to the crisis left Fleet Street no room for imagination.

He told the truth directly.

You should understand that for a player like Ye Yifeng, I will protect him. When we were leading 3:0, I took him off the field to let him rest. This is a normal decision.

He had an agreement with me last season. When he was healthy, if I wanted to replace him, it had to be after 75 minutes. His reason was that he needed at least 75 minutes of game time to maintain competitive condition. I promised him.

But today I took him off before 75 minutes of the game. He was dissatisfied with this and reminded me of what I had promised him.

I didn't do this well, so he had reason to question me. I thought that a minute or two difference shouldn't be a big problem.

But he obviously takes it very seriously, and I think that's why he is a superstar. He has unimaginably strict requirements on himself, both on and off the court.

This is something that all Manchester United players can learn from.

And I'm going to talk to him later and assure him that I won't make a similar mistake again.

Looks like I need to adjust my watch to be more precise.

Fleet Street reporters looked at each other.

Mourinho's words sounded a bit humble.

But it can definitely be understood.

Not to mention the privileges of a superstar, based on Ye Yifeng's worth alone, it stands to reason that he should maintain a high attendance rate, even close to perfect attendance!

The wage costs are there.

If Messi and Ronaldo were unhappy about being substituted, well, in the past few years, that would have been big news.

If Mourinho thinks he can completely decide Ye Yifeng's playing time, then he definitely doesn't understand.

In the final analysis, Ye Yifeng did not insist so strongly that he must play every game.

He is not an iron man. Some players can indeed maintain perfect attendance, but what kind of work do they do to keep attendance?

Can it be the same as him who carries the team and blocks the forwards to kill the Buddha?

Reasonable distribution and a balance between work and rest can better help him maintain his condition.

Fleet Street reporters were not convinced by Mourinho's remarks.

They felt that Mourinho had made up a random reason to fool them.

Mourinho doesn't care. Believe it or not, that is a matter for the outside world.

Did he really say these things publicly to reporters?

Of course not, but to Ye Yifeng!

In the Manchester United locker room after the game, Pogba approached Ye Yifeng gossiping and asked why he and Mourinho had a disagreement. Ye Yifeng casually said: He replaced him too early.

Pogba nodded quickly and said: Yes, that bastard... Well, the boss should really keep you on the field. We will lose the ball as soon as you come off the field!

Ye Yifeng turned to look at Pogba, his eyes were quite complicated, with both curiosity and confusion.

As if he had been seen through, the anti-king stopped talking nonsense, patted Ye Yifeng on the shoulder and said, I support you!

Ye Yifeng shrugged unappreciatively.

I have no conflict with him.

Mourinho's post-match interview could be seen on a TV in the locker room.

Ye Yifeng heard everything the other party said.

Alas, I have to lose my temper so that you can remember!
