Chapter 528 FA Cup Final, here we come!(2/3)
I saw Aguo cut in behind Bailly, got ahead of the goalkeeper, pushed the ball into the Manchester United goal again.
"York City's counterattack was very fast and well-organized, and Rice also stepped in."
Although Pan Yi used a provoking method before the game, they were not sure whether Mourinho would really take the bait, so they still had to be as cautious as possible and be prepared for everything.
At the same time, the three midfielders Rice, Alonso and Kulusevski also actively moved around to create enough ball routes for the backcourt.
Mourinho is like this, sometimes he is quite emotional.
During a quick counterattack after stealing the ball, Fellaini made a passing error.
Under the pressure of Manchester United, York City really failed to find a forward path for the ball when it reached the midfield, and immediately passed it back to De Ligt in the defense.
Just such a small amount of time quickly led to disagreements among Manchester United's players on the court.
As for which side it is, it is not drilled in detail, just whoever rushes the fastest will pass to whose side.
"Well done, boys!" Pan Yi shouted happily, regardless of whether the players on the field could hear it or not.
"The game has officially started, and Manchester United takes the lead."
So of course Pan Yi hopes that Manchester United can focus on offense, so that York City can have a chance!
Of course, he also saw the loopholes in Manchester United's backcourt this time, so he wanted the two wing-backs of Valencia and Ashley Young to retreat a little, but the pressure of the double forwards and the three midfielders
constant.
If fans just watch the live broadcast, they may not be able to see clearly the entire development process of this goal. They will just think, "Wow, why are there so many people suddenly?"
After all, York City was suppressed by Manchester United at the beginning. It felt like almost all the players were in their own half. Why did they suddenly reach the opponent's penalty area? And they scored a goal?
"De Ligt's long pass was just right, Amon's breakthrough with the ball was also quite threatening, and then there was the English Golden Boot Baker's easy push."
For example, for the start of the game, the coaching staff has prepared a variety of different possibilities, including whether Manchester United will adopt offensive tactics? Or will they choose to defend against counterattacks from the beginning? Or will they control the ball in a satisfactory manner?
In this way, it can basically be confirmed that Mourinho will still play offensive football in today's game.
Bailly immediately turned around to chase, but Amon attacked head-on and was faster. He had already caught up to the left side of the small penalty area, grabbed the ball before it went out of bounds, and passed the ball crosswise.
On Manchester United's side, the fast Rashford also rushed over immediately.
In fact, when De Ligt stopped the ball, Amon, Baker and Lin Liangming all rushed forward immediately to hit Manchester United behind.
However, the game had restarted at this time, and Manchester United's players seemed a little hesitant.
But Mourinho is still preparing the tactical board at this time, waiting for some details to be finalized before conveying it to the field!
This counterattack is really sharp!
The extremely fast winger, the center who grabs points in the middle...how can he be so similar to the routine he is best at?
"It seems that as Pan Yi said in the interview before the game, today will be a wonderful game!"
However, Pan Yi can also understand Mourinho. The main reason is that Manchester United currently does not have a really useful attacking midfielder, but they have several good central midfielders and defensive midfielders.
Today's stadium is all red, because whether it is Manchester United or York City, the traditional jersey color is red.
Goalkeeper: No. 1 De Gea.
One word is: hold on, don’t waver!
Forwards: No. 19 Rashford, No. 9 Ibrahimovic.
It wasn't until Amon rushed to the stands of York City fans to celebrate that they burst into thunderous cheers and called Amon's name crazily.
And this was within Pan Yi's expectation.
Then he walked down the stands and went to his own coaching bench, shaking hands and hugging the coaches and players one by one to express his congratulations.
Coupled with Fellaini's high points and Pogba's organization and scheduling, Manchester United's midfielder truly achieved orderly offense and defense.
This...could this goal be a little too fast?——
Pan Yi in the stands was really happy!
He originally thought that grabbing a goal would be great, but unexpectedly, Manchester United bought one, got one free, and gave him another one.
"If you give me another chance, we will not concede a goal, let alone lose." Mourinho said a little angrily.
Mourinho turned around and looked up towards the stands, but Pan Yi could not be found for a moment.
He just calculated that Mourinho would attack in the opening game, so after they pressed out, he then used De Ligt's long pass to quickly hit behind.
In this way, the pressure on York City can be maintained, and the defense can be made more stable to avoid further problems.
"When he served as a technical consultant for the Dragon Country national team, he also helped the Dragon Country team fight all the way up from the bottom of the group. After three consecutive victories, he also had hope of qualifying. Being able to succeed on both fronts really makes everyone
Everyone is amazed by Pan Yi’s extraordinary abilities!”
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, York City still wanted stability and did not dare to press out easily. Instead, they waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
But the problem is, the opponent is just a League One team! How come the tactical execution is so strong and the team can switch from defense to offense so quickly?
This brat Pan Yi is really awesome. Even if he is the boss, he still has such a deep imprint on the team!
Build a good line of defense first.
I saw four defenders, Alphonso Davies, Westerman, De Ligt, and Takeyo Tomiyasu, lined up in a row and began to pass the ball skillfully.
"And Manchester United did not stay in their own half. All their players pressed forward quickly and seemed to be pressing the whole ball."
They didn't expect that the competition would go so smoothly!
"Tonight, we will be broadcasting live at Wembley Stadium for everyone. The teams facing each other are York City, the champions of English League One, and Manchester United from the Premier League!"
He was obviously unwilling to accept this game. He felt that his team was only disrupted by the two goals conceded in the opening game. If everything goes normally...
The main thing now is what tactics Mourinho will use at Wembley Stadium.
Maybe it might still be useful.
Mourinho on the sidelines couldn't help but exclaimed: "Behind! Behind on the right!"
"The formation he deployed today should be to suppress York City in the opening stage, and then use his numerical advantage in the midfield to control the game and ultimately win."
Especially Herrera, a strong player who is good at running, when he defeated Chelsea, he simply executed the man-to-man tactics in basketball to the best of his ability, making it difficult for Hazard to defend him.
Manchester United kept probing and trying to attack from all angles and directions, but failed.
At this time, Mourinho's latest instructions were finally conveyed to the field. Manchester United played more offensively and defensively, and it was not so easy to attack again.
"The current situation of both teams is pretty good. Manchester United is going very well in various cup competitions. They have also adjusted after experiencing the initial difficulties in the league and just defeated the leader Chelsea. Their morale is high.
.”
In just over five minutes, York City scored another victory!
Everyone in the entire Wembley Stadium was stunned.
So now... let's stop it when we're done!
Rice stopped the ball, turned around, and passed forward.
And York City was also stunned by the happiness that came instantly. Everyone opened their mouths and even forgot to cheer.
Come on, York City is already ready!
——
"Viewers, welcome to watch the FA Cup semi-finals of the 2016-2017 season."
If a strong team like Manchester United is determined to play defensive counterattack, how can York City still play?
To be honest, with York City's current strength, being able to win against two strong teams, Tottenham and Arsenal, relies entirely on counterattacks after solid defense.
"Manchester United has a set of responses. It looks like the two sides are going to start a fight. Their starting goalkeeper is De Gea, and the three defenders are..."
At this time, in the York City coaching bench, Scaloni, De Zerbi and others also looked confused.
The top priority now is how to equalize the score as soon as possible!
He immediately took out his tactical board and drew a few strokes on it.
Apart from anything else, Pan Yi often did this when he was coaching, so he must also guard against Mourinho suddenly doing this.
However, Manchester United's defense was a little loose at this time, and the York City players on the court once again launched a wave of fast-paced attacks and began to frequently create dangers inside and outside Manchester United's penalty area.
Pan Yi also personally came to the training base to serve as a temporary assistant coach, discussing tactics with Scaloni and De Zerbi.
"York City leads Manchester United 1:0! This makes Mourinho a little uncomfortable."
At this time, on Manchester United's side, Bailly was at the very back of the defense. When York City launched this long pass attack, he was the first to return to his position.
On the Manchester United side, Mourinho had a hint of shock on his face.
When he was a guest at Wembley Stadium, he thought of many possibilities and imagined that the team would concede the ball first, but he never expected that the team would concede the goal in the first minute. This is too outrageous!
"Let's see how this offense goes..."
On the York City side, Scaloni was excitedly hugging and celebrating with De Zerbi, Caskey and others behind him;
Defenders: No. 3 Bailly, No. 5 Rojo, No. 36 Darmian.
And such a stalemate lasted until the end of halftime.
To be continued...
