The first two rounds of victory: 5 dimensions explain Manchester United s tactics in detail, Amorin s greed is prone to collapse

The Premier League started with two rounds, Manchester United drew 1 and lost 1, and has not won a single game so far. The reputation of the two games is different. If Manchester United lost 0-1 in the first game, although Arsenal lost, from the media to the fans, they all praised Manchester United for their different spirits; in the second game, Manchester United 1-1 in Fulham, although they did not lose, everyone seems to have seen Manchester United last season, and pessimism is spreading. What is the difference between the two games? You face Arsenal, who is the best defense in the Premier League last season, you can beat Arsenal and score 22 shots, just one line away from the goal; you face Fulham, who is in the middle of the Premier League last season, you are pressed and beaten by Fulham, and Fulham regrets that he did not win the game, this is the difference. I can tell you responsibly that Manchester United's tactical system is the same in the two games, so where is the problem? Putting aside emotions, let's talk in detail:

Backball from the backcourt: How to solve the problem of double-middle double-middle double-middle double-middle

After Manchester United 1-1, Fulham's head coach talked about his tactical arrangement. He said this: "I know they like to use double-middle midfielders. We use three-middle midfielders + Alles to overload in the midfield, thus forming an advantage in the numerical area in the middle, which is that simple." To put it bluntly, it is double-middle double-middle midfielders. In the preseason, Ugath lost the ball in the midfield and scored by his opponent, do you still remember? To extend the time a little longer, Casemiro and Eriksen were intercepted in the midfielder position last season, and thus the opponent scored 1 goal. Therefore, the position of the back midfielder is Manchester United's problem. So, how did Manchester United solve these two games? The goalkeeper passes the ball long and no longer requires short passes. In the 1-1 Fulham game, 15 of Baindill's 25 passes were long passes; in the 0-1 Arsenal game, 18 of Baindill's 45 passes were long passes, which was still the case when Manchester United had the advantage in ball possession. The problem is that if the goalkeeper passes the ball for a long time, one problem needs to be solved: how to grab the second point? The answer is Mount. The picture above is an obvious case. Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal game, Mount was responsible for grabbing the second landing point and transferring it to Mbeumo to give Mbeumo a good counterattack opportunity.

The above picture is where Manchester United failed to pass 1-1. You can see that long passes occupy the majority, so if you can't get the first point, how to quickly grab the second landing point is very important. This is why Mount is very important in Amorin's system. Long passes are looking for Cunia and Dorgu, and Mount quickly approaches them to help get the second landing point and move the direction.

To put it bluntly, Mount is now the role of tool man, and his physical energy consumption will be very large. He burned out in both games. If Manchester United cannot solve the problem of being double-teamed by double midfielders, then who will replace Mount's role? With Sesco's two appearances, Manchester United's second control was very bad. In other words, Sesco could not afford Mount's goal-grabbing task.

Intercepting offense: What to do if you break through your back midfielder

Manchester United 1-1 Fulham, Fulham player Ivobi said: "I know we can break through the defense of two of their midfielders, and their central defenders will also drive the ball, so we made the most of this today." OK, Fulham players can ride the ball and break through the defense of Manchester United's double back midfielder, so why can't Arsenal do it? There is a difference in the comparison between

. Let's first look at the differences in the scenes of the two games. The picture below is from Manchester United 1-1 Fulham. Do you see the problem? The vast area between the back line and the forward line was filled with B Fei, and Casemiro's position was more pressed by his opponents by De Rigt.

Look at Manchester United's 0-1 Arsenal. The figure below can be used as a representative. After Manchester United's three lines opened, there are three people in Manchester United's midfield, and De Rigt pressed to fill the space in the midfield.

Although the specific situations of the two scenarios are different, I am too lazy to find a comparison picture of the same scenario. Just understand what you mean. Have you found a problem? Amorin's midfield advantage is made up by the centre-back and the two front midfielders come back alone. The problem arises. What should I do if my fee is not in my position?

Offensive Difficulties: Mbeumo + Amad's configuration problem

Manchester United's offense is to create a numerical advantage on one side. Playing on Fulham and Arsenal, Manchester United are both strong side of the offense on the left. B Fee + Mount + Cunya + Dorgu is active on this side, and Luke Shaw is also responsible for long passes in the backcourt behind.

In the game of Arsenal, Manchester United's strong and weak side transfers were very vivid, with the strong side on the left, and Mount or Cunya in the center position both got the ball on the left, so who is on the front line? The answer is Mbeumo. Lukesha + Door Gudu made a cross from the wing, B Fei made a cross from the ribs, Mount could make a cross from the bottom in the penalty area, Cunia could make a long shot, and Mbeumo could make a long shot.

Manchester United's 1-1 Fulham's offensive advantage in the first half is reflected in the crossing. Look at Mount's crossing this time to Cunya (actually it can be classified as a crossing), and look at Mbeumo's position and you will know Mbeumo's position.

The problem is that there is no one behind Mbewumo and no one around him, and he is easily restricted by his opponents alone. Casemiro is old and cannot compete for high-intensity sprinting. The first game of Arsenal has burned out. Amade Diallo is always used to going to the ribs to grab the position. If you can't pull the width, your offensive efficiency will drop significantly. As for Dalot, he reduces his upward strategy and just plays well.. I guess Manchester United has no solution to the weak side of Manchester United, so there is no qualified right-wingback unless it is the same as my fantasy in the summer window: let Mbeumo play as the right-wingback because his physical condition is good enough.

Offensive problem 2: You don’t have a center

This issue is not something I am talking about alone, but many foreign bloggers are also talking about it. Only when Manchester United pushes to the third zone will Mbeumo enter the penalty area, and it is not in the middle. When you don't have the center forward to restrain two central defenders, the opponent's central defender can naturally focus on Mbeumo, and even the central defender can be pushed out. Anyway, no one uses the space behind the central defender.

Amorin used the advantage of center retracement and center back forward pressure stacking, resulting in: there is no one in the center position. Perhaps this is also the reason why Amorin thinks that Hoy's round is not suitable, or perhaps this is also the reason why Amorin thinks that Zilkze + Sesco is suitable, because they are all people who retreat to get the ball, but no one is at the center position, and your center is often not in the middle, and it is difficult for your offensive rhythm to hit the core area to form a shot.

The second round of the Premier League has not been completed. Manchester United has the most 31 shots in the Premier League, but Manchester United's average shooting distance has reached 17.5 meters, and the distance from the goal to the penalty area line is about 16.5 meters. In other words, Manchester United all have long shots. Look at the teams that have scored a lot of goals so far in the Premier League, which one is not the one with a relatively close shooting distance?

Offensive problem 2: B fee, B fee, B fee

Many people discussed that Manchester United played 1-1 Fulham in the game, why didn't Manchester United cross it? In fact, if you watch the game carefully, or even switch to the tactical perspective to watch the game, you will find a question: your captain wants the ball in the ribs, are you passing it to B Fee or Sesco?

B Fei's tactical discipline, I have been scolded a lot since last season. Look at the picture above, this is the talk of foreign bloggers after Manchester United's 0-1 Arsenal game: Does B Fee have enough tactical discipline to serve as captain. After Manchester United won Cuna, we talked about: How to allocate the ball rights of Cuna?

Manchester United played well in the first 30 minutes of Fulham's 1-1 because B Fee was in the backcourt and Cunha was in the frontcourt, and there was no conflict between the two. However, after B Fei lost the penalty kick, B Fei became anxious and felt that he was the captain and should set an example and help the team win, so he pushed him up and attacked. If you compare the data of Cunia before and after the B fee penalty, you will magically discover that Cunia's data has declined sharply.

Why? Because B Fee started to get anxious, he started to press up, and started to ask for the ball, and began to squeeze Cunia's position. The league just started last season, and B Fee + Casemiro was in a sluggish state, which caused Manchester United to start slowly last season. They won back their reputation with their performance in the second half of the season, but you could not have done this.

Summary: Greedy is not enough. The snake swallows the elephant.

For Amorin's current mentality, I can only describe it as a greed. You want Mbeumo's ability to cut in and shoot, you also want Amade Diallo's ability to control the ball; you want Cunya's assault, you also want B Fei's passing; you want De Rigt's push out, you also want Casemiro's back insertion, you want everything, but you can't get anything.

Sometimes the tactical problem is not about addition, but about subtraction. If you want Mbeumo's inward shooting, you should be honestly equipped with a right wingback who can hold the side and hit; if you want Cunya's assault ability, you should be honestly arranged for a midfielder who keeps tactical discipline and does not occupy the ball rights.

Losing to Arsenal in the first game, everyone was not convinced. Everyone thought the league started well, so they had to win the second game. OK, you want to win, but you want to win, there is a gap between you want and you can.
