27. The gap between professional and amateur



Hey, Xiao Yu! Jim shouted at Xiao Yu, who was standing by the side of the court, from the stands.

Xiao Yu, Messi and Curtis who were standing beside him turned their heads instantly, and Messi immediately greeted his landlord.

Jim, didn't you say you're not free? Xiao Yu greeted him with a smile.

Because the sound waves at the scene were too loud, even though they were close, they still had to speak loudly to hear clearly.

Hey, you understand, there just happened to be a customer calling for a car! Jim smiled guiltily.

Xiao Yu laughed tacitly.

Oh, Leo, don't tell the landlady when you go back, that you saw me here, you know? Fat Jim thought of something, so he hurriedly told Macy.

Messi is young, but very smart, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Hey, Xiao Yu, why didn't Ricky Wellens come in today? Seeing him warming up on the sidelines, isn't he injured? The fat man asked a little puzzled.

I don't know either! Xiao Yu was also surprised. If Qi Weilunsi had always been the main left midfielder in the warm-up match of the new Manchester United, he cooperated well with Evra. Became a substitute?

Xiao Yu knows Frank Clark's ability. Just like him, this player is very balanced. Speed, passing, awareness, defense, running, etc. are all balanced, but sometimes That means mediocrity.

Why would you give up the special Ricky Willens and use the more mediocre Frank Clark?

Xiao Yu's doubts were quickly answered at the beginning of the game.

When the referee on duty blew the whistle to start the game, New Manchester United kicked off from Maiten and Giggs. After the former opened, the latter immediately knocked back to Smith in the midfield.

Smith dribbled the ball for two steps, met the interception of the opponent's midfielder, and immediately distributed it to Frank Carrack on the wing.

Since Karak's position was already in the opponent's half, the opponent's winger stepped forward to intercept, but Karak passed forward, and then saw a black lightning pass by them.

Evra! Xiao Yu was taken aback.

Patrice! Patrice! All the fans shouted at the scene.

Carrack's pass was very comfortable. After receiving the ball, Evra made a trip, passed the opponent's full-back and went straight to the bottom line.

At this time, Maiten and Giggs, who were outflanking in the middle, were all in place, and even Smith was near the arc of the penalty area, waiting for a response.

Evra looked up into the penalty area and sent a smooth cross with his left foot.

It's a pity that the intention of this cross was too obvious, and it was blocked from the bottom line by the opponent's central defender.

Although it was unsuccessful, the fans at the scene still gave warm applause to this attack, especially Evra, whose speed he showed just now was like lightning.

So that's how it is! Xiao Yu finally saw it, but secretly sighed in his heart, this is the gap between professional and amateur.

Although the professional knowledge of the head coach is not high for the amateur team, if Xiao Yu were to be the head coach, he would let Rich Wellens start because he is also very fast and can cause serious damage to the opponent's defense. Impact, and then pull out a gap for the middle.

But in this way, the defense on the left becomes a hidden danger, which was shown during the pre-season warm-up match of the new Manchester United.

Steve Bruce used another method very cleverly, that is, he replaced Willens with Carrack, who had a balanced offense and defense, and then gave Evra absolute freedom to go forward, and then let Carrack make up for Evra. .

In this way, the defensive problem on the left side is solved, and the threat that Evra can create after advancing forward is no less than that of Wellens, and even more stealthy than Wellens' offense, and the most rare Yes, the pressure of Smith and Markinson has been weakened, and Smith does not have to always worry about the defense on the left,

And you can safely and boldly invest in the attack.

One substitution solved several major problems of the team. Xiao Yu had to admit that Bruce's brilliant stroke was really wonderful!

Back to defense!

The corner kick taken by Lyons was good, but under the interference of the opponent, Bruce failed to hit the right position. After landing, he ran to his own backcourt while directing his teammates to go back to defend.

The goal kick from the opposing goalkeeper was pushed out by Karl Makinson, and Maiten stopped the ball and passed it directly to Giggs.

Giggs dribbled the ball past an opposing player and passed it diagonally to Lyons on the right.

Lyons looked up and swung his right foot to make a long diagonal pass, which directly found Evra who was rushing forward from the left.

As expected of the new Manchester United's Beckham, Evra just used his speed to overtake the opponent's full-back. Lyons' pass came to him just right, one pass, speed up, cross, all in one go.

Maiten in the middle had already cooperated in place and kicked out Evra's smooth cross.

The distance was too close, and although the goalkeeper reacted, he still failed to touch the ball, 0:1!

Less than four minutes into the first half, the new Manchester United relied on Evra's assists, and Maiten scored the first official game goal in the history of the new Manchester United.

The fans at the scene immediately exploded. Everyone was shouting Jonathan's name loudly. Some stood up excitedly, shouting hoarsely, and some kept waving flags embroidered with the new Manchester United team logo.

At the beginning, the two attacks were very sharp. It can be seen that Bruce should have rehearsed them in training. It's just that Xiao Yu has been in the United States for the past two weeks, so I don't know.

Xiao Yu, you can win, you can win! Fat Jim also stood up and kept shouting.

Xiao Yu turned his head and smiled at him and the fans who lost their minds, yes, this game can be won!

No matter in terms of momentum, fighting spirit, or even in terms of technical and tactical level, the new Manchester United are far superior to their opponents. If they can't win such a game, they are really useless.

…………

…………

In fact, in the next game, the new Manchester United firmly controlled the situation on the field.

As an amateur team, Lick CSOB's head coach, captain, and club chairman are the same person. judgment.

When the game started again, the new Manchester United's offensive wave after wave, especially Evra on the left.

The cooperation with Karak made Evra feel like a fish in water. He gave full play to his advantage of lightning speed, tearing apart the opponent's defense time and time again, and sending crosses again and again.

But I have to admit that Evra's cross ball still needs to be strengthened. He got a lot of cross opportunities in the game. Except for the assist goal in the 3rd minute of the opening, all others missed without exception. The trajectory he envisioned.

But despite this, the fans at the scene still gave Evra burst into warm applause again and again.

The player with the best performance on the spot should belong to Maiten. The professional striker grasped three opportunities in this game and staged a hat-trick. This is also the first hat-trick in the history of the new Manchester United and will be recorded in history.

As Maiten's striker partner, Giggs not only used his speed to open the gap for Maiten and create opportunities, but also contributed an assist to help Smith score a goal, and he also scored Maiten himself. A shot from the opposing goalkeeper goes into the goal.

Equally outstanding was Lyons on the right, the seemingly inconspicuous knockoff Beckham who assisted twice in the game, and then took advantage of the arc around the penalty area shortly after the start of the second half. A set-kick opportunity and a direct free-kick to score.

0:6! The new Manchester United crushed Leick CSOB with 6 goals.

About twenty minutes into the second half, as the situation was firmly under control, the new Manchester United began to replace substitutes, Danny Collins replaced Steve Bruce, Victor Moses replaced Smith, David Bell It was to replace Rodri Giggs, who was physically weak.

But after Bruce replaced the field, the players on the field obviously relaxed their emotions. After all, the team is now leading by 6 goals, and winning a victory is already a certainty.

It was precisely because of the relaxation of the new Manchester United that in the next 20 minutes, the pressure on Lick CSOB was obviously relaxed, and the opponent took the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack against the new Manchester United.

Fortunately, Leick was stunned before, and the sudden counterattack was also an unorganized attack, so in the end the new Manchester United still kept the score of 0:6 and won the first official game victory in the club's history.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, all the new Manchester United fans wearing red jerseys immediately burst into flames. Everyone stood up, cheering and shouting loudly, shaking the new Manchester United desperately cheer for the heroes on the pitch.

Go and thank the fans! Bruce said with a cold face, and stopped those players who were about to leave the field.

As a former Manchester United legendary central defender, although Bruce has only taken over the new Manchester United not long ago, he has already laid a deep imprint on this newly established team, so when he said he wanted to thank the fans, even the players on the bench They all ran out and went to every corner of the stands to thank the fans for coming to the away game to cheer for the team.

After the game, Xiao Yu also got the stadium statistics immediately. There were a total of 3016 fans in this game, which definitely broke the attendance record for an official game in the Northwest League. At the same time, according to Walsh’s feedback According to the information coming over, the FA seems to be surprised by such attendance.

Although the attendance rate of the new Manchester United's first warm-up match was very high last time, it was in Manchester. The attendance rate of the away game is still so high. This has to be said to be a miracle in the amateur league.

Although the new Manchester United have achieved excellent results on and off the pitch, in fact, Bruce is still dissatisfied with this, and this dissatisfaction was directly vented on the bus back to Manchester.
