Seven hundred and fifty-six The powerful sniper attack of the Red Devils legend!
When Ferguson was in power, he was criticized for covering the sky with one hand in the Premier League!
In addition to putting strong pressure on the referee, there is also the existence of Manchester connection.
For example, Manchester United legend Steve Bruce coached the Premier League team after retiring. He often conceded three points when facing Manchester United, but he would try his best when beating Manchester United's competitors.
When Manchester United has a huge advantage in the league championship or the overall situation has determined that there is room for losing points, they will also reciprocate and give the opponent key points for relegation.
This is usually a tacit ball.
Steve Bruce also presented the Premier League Championship Trophy to Manchester United.
But it all disappeared with Ferguson's retirement.
Manchester United's dominance in the Premier League is also gone.
This summer, Newcastle United bid farewell to Benitez and welcomed the coaching of Red Devils legend Steve Bruce.
Despite being opposed by Magpies fans because of his experience as Sunderland manager, Bruce took over as the new owner of St James' Park.
Today he sat at home to face the challenge of Manchester United.
Today is different from the past, not to mention that he and Manchester United no longer have the mentoring relationship of Ferguson. Newcastle United ranks second from the bottom in the league, and the sound of getting out of class lingers in his ears.
Steve Bruce will never have a private deal with Manchester United again.
When Mourinho was pressed on the countdown button by Fleet Street last year, Bruce was once a candidate to take over at Old Trafford.
In the words of Red Devils fans, that is someone with Red Devils DNA.
Bruce stood on the sidelines wearing sportswear with his arms folded across his chest and supervising the game with a serious expression.
Newcastle United, which only scored 5 points in 7 games, entered the relegation rhythm very early.
A home match against Manchester United, which ranks second in the league, is bound to be a tough battle.
Bruce doesn't care whether Manchester United wants to return to the throne, now he has to do everything for his coaching position!
Mourinho sat calmly on the coaching bench, but his expression became serious after seeing Newcastle United's starting lineup.
Newcastle United formed a 541 formation.
Manchester United's overall fighting spirit is high after triumphing from the Champions League.
At the same time, there may be a bit of arrogance.
Probably thinking that no opponent can stop them!
Less than three minutes into the game, they realized they were being naive.
The central combination of Newcastle United's four midfielders is the Longstaff brothers. The elder brother was born in 1997 and the younger brother was born in 2000. The two of them cooperate with each other tacitly to fill each other's positions. In addition, the two full midfielders shrink to the center when defending, and the most critical thing is One point: Super high physical confrontation aggressiveness!
Fierce collision is the main theme after the start of the game!
Ye Yifeng is rich in experience. As long as he can pass the ball well and make the offense smooth, it is almost instinctive for him to avoid the opponent's collision. This does not mean that he is afraid of confrontation, but he just cannot make it. After all, every confrontation carries the risk of injury.
Pogba and Lingard were not so lucky and complained to their opponents when they were knocked to the ground one after another.
Today's referee also used the typical Premier League scale, as if he didn't even want to blow the whistle as long as someone didn't die!
Martial lost the ball after being collided and surrounded twice in the penalty area. He did not immediately counterattack, but asked the referee to argue.
Although Newcastle United's counterattack did not pose a threat, Mourinho still rushed to the sidelines and pointed his finger at Martial to reprimand him!
Greenwood was also bullied and had no performance, but at least he would chase back and interfere, and even take the initiative to foul to retaliate.
And Martial touched Mourinho's bottom line just by complaining.
A big melee broke out on the court.
Everywhere you look, there is smoke.
Collision, pulling, shoveling, Newcastle United's stalking and sometimes outrageous actions made the Manchester United players lose their rhythm.
Ye Yifeng also suffered greatly.
When the performance of his teammates gradually declined in this fierce collision atmosphere, especially when the two forwards gradually lost their effect, he seemed a little alone.
In the 31st minute of the game, he stepped on his bicycle and changed direction to pass Almiron while he was pulling forward. Matthew Longstaff's flying tackle came into view.
Ye Yifeng pulled the ball to Marseille and completed the dodge. As soon as he turned around, he was hit from the side and rear by Joël Linton and rolled to the ground.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul but did not play a card.
Newcastle United becomes more and more courageous as they fight, like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves!
Ye Yifeng got up from the ground, his face as heavy as water.
The game is a bit difficult!
Even Red Devils fans can see that the performance of recent teammates around Ye Yifeng has dropped significantly compared to the past few games.
Lin Huang performs well in games where there is room for counterattacks, but in tough battles it is easy to get frustrated and get lost.
Pogba looked timid, as if he was afraid of getting hurt in the confrontation.
Hall Master Aoki and Henry the Frenchman were not threatening from the beginning. They only appeared on screen after being strangled and knocked to the ground many times.
Newcastle United's super bus and brutal confrontation left Manchester United with no ideas when attacking.
To put it simply, Ye Yifeng, who is the core, cannot cooperate with his teammates in the frontcourt, and his personal breakthrough will be attacked by his opponents, making it difficult to move forward!
In the 41st minute of the game, Newcastle United's wing counterattack hit the left side of the frontcourt. Winger Maximan dribbled in and faced Tuanzebe in an attempt to force a breakthrough. Tuanzebe turned around and put a tackle to destroy the ball out of the baseline.
Newcastle United took a corner kick, and Lindelof nodded the ball from behind the penalty area to clear the ball.
The football that reached outside the penalty area was controlled by Matthew Longstaff. He adjusted the ball at the top of the front arc of the penalty area and then shot hard.
The football passed through the gap between the dense crowd and flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal!
De Gea was a step too late to make a flying save, and the football rushed into the goal!
Steve Bruce raised his fists and shouted.
The Magpies fans also cheered for Longstaff with fanatical shouts!
The Manchester United generals were shocked.
They seemed to be fighting in hell, as if they had returned to the scenes of the Premier League in the old days.
For a traditional coach like Steve Bruce, there will be no sissies in his team. This was the selection criteria for traditional coaches in the first 10 years of the Premier League.
Put technical and tactical strength aside for now.
Whether you are mentally brave enough and dare to fight is the first criterion for selecting people.
Manchester United kicked off, and Aoki Hall master was knocked to the ground again on the front wing.
Then he exploded!
This talented player from the Red Devils who just turned 18 years old went to challenge the strong Yedlin, but was counterattacked!
Yedlin not only retaliated head-on, but also pressed every step of the way. Hall Master Aoki was forced back by the opponent and fell to the ground.
Somewhat embarrassed.
Ye Yifeng went to pull Hall Master Qingmu up and threw him aside, and then said in a deep voice to Yedlin: What's the point of bullying a child? It's still a long time, I will play with you next!
After Yedlin spouted some trash talk, he stared at Ye Yifeng with a playful look.
Today's referee's scale is definitely unprecedentedly beneficial to Newcastle United.
Manchester United can't complain.
Because when they adopt sniper tactics, they also expect the referee to suffer from intermittent blindness and be merciful every time.
Halftime is over.
Manchester United trailed 0:1 in the away game!
Red Devils fans are worried.
Unlike before when the score was behind, they have become heartless and don't care much.
But in today's scene, Manchester United didn't even have a threatening shot in the first half.
This is not a good sign.
Mourinho walked to the dressing room with a heavy heart.
He was wrong.
He shouldn't throw the 18-year-old Greenwood on the field. Perhaps he should be more cautious with young players and give him more time to develop in downwind games.
Back in the locker room, Mourinho didn't waste any time and immediately made tactical and substitution adjustments.
Hall Master Aoki, Martial, and Pogba were substituted!
Pogba's performance was tasteless.
No credit and no fault.
But now he needs players who can play hard to win the advantage, or at least not make Manchester United so embarrassed.
Fred, James and Rashford appear on the stage.
442 was changed to 433.
And Ye Yifeng appeared on the left side of the front line.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Manchester United has used up all three substitution cards!
The formation is fully forward pressing.
Fred and McTominay formed a frantic sweeping team in the midfield. Lingard was only responsible for the support work in the middle, and Ashley Young was responsible for providing support to Ye Yifeng on the left.
James and Tuanzebe are responsible for passing the ball from the right.
In today's scene, it is no longer realistic to try to cut inside alone, because the penetration and support in the middle cannot pose a threat at all.
Ye Yifeng came to the left wing to confront Yedlin on offense and defense.
In the 48th minute of the game, when Ashley Young passed the ball directly to Ye Yifeng's feet, Yedlin immediately grabbed it.
I thought Ye Yifeng would dodge, but Ye Yifeng faced him head-on.
Protect the ball and fight fiercely!
Blocking the position prevents the opponent from suddenly exerting force.
Yedlin was caught off guard and fell to the ground!
The referee's whistle did not sound.
Ye Yifeng controlled the ball and changed direction to bypass the opponent and then headed into the penalty area.
Newcastle United played three centre-backs and still defended tightly in the penalty area. Fabian Schaal retreated and Matthew Longstaff rushed to press.
But Ye Yifeng had already stepped into the penalty area, and they did not dare to move too much. They basically charged and stole the ball.
Ye Yifeng lowered his shoulders and faked, then spiked the ball toward the baseline. He immediately passed the ball after taking advantage of the weak offensive depth.
Rashford grabbed the ball in front of the goal, but center back Lascelles took the lead and cleared the ball.
Newcastle United's formation retreated very deep, and if they wanted to launch a fast break, they had to pass at least two levels in a row.
Fred and McTominay's sweep to expand the defensive coverage was quite effective.
Two minutes later, when Ye Yifeng once again faced off with Yedlin on the left, Ye Yifeng took the initiative when he saw that the opponent was a little more cautious.
A slow-speed dribbling made a cross-cut with a heavy shoulder, then a reverse cut to change the direction of the ball. When Yedlin reacted and turned around to steal the ball, Ye Yifeng got stuck again and took the initiative to fight and knocked him to the ground!
The referee still didn't blow the whistle!
Instead, Yedlin turned around and complained to the referee after seeing Ye Yifeng's cross ball blocked by Schaer.
Although Yedlin is strong, Ye Yifeng is 10 centimeters taller than his opponent and has a larger body. As long as he takes the initiative in the confrontation, he will definitely have an advantage!
At this moment, his eyes were full of bloodlust!
If they were purely technical, I'm afraid they would have no choice but to admit defeat when facing Newcastle United.
But now Ye Yifeng has used his ability to stay at the bottom of the box and want to play confrontation? There are no defenders in European football who can make him retreat despite difficulties, but they are definitely not in Newcastle United!
Come on, let's fight, let's see who can stand firm in the collision of passion!
