Football: King of Midfield! Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are crying

Depay went off injured.

The most important thing for Manchester United right now.

It’s just a matter of deciding who to put on the field.

Just when Van Gaal was having trouble with this.

Long Fei gave the suggestion to let Mata come on as a substitute.

This not only stunned Van Gaal and his teammates.

Even Mata himself didn’t expect it at all!

"There is no doubt about Mata’s strength"

"but"

Van Gaal did not continue.

But what he wanted to say.

The players of Manchester United basically understand it.

Mata is in today's Manchester United formation and tactics. Suitable location.

There is only the central midfielder where Long Fei is.

This is also the last league game.

He was able to successfully rotate Long Fei.

The reason why he became the core of Manchester United's central attack.

But players in different positions on the court.

Role in team tactics.

It’s also completely different!

Depay's midfield position on the right.

What is needed is speed and impact.

Under the existing main tactics of Manchester United.

Long Fei sent a long pass to the wing.

The speed and impact of the wing midfielders are greatly needed.

Come and pose a threat to the opponent's defense!

Like the first goal of the game.

Depay received a long pass from Long Fei.

Relying on speed to directly break into the penalty area to complete the goal.

This is a very typical example!

However, Mata is not fast!

He is a technical player.

Passing and dribbling are his strengths.

But the speed is really not enough!

It is not suitable for the current tactical system of Manchester United!

Otherwise Van Gaal.

He won't bear the pain to treat a powerful player like Mata. Put it on the bench!

Mata's heart at this moment.

It got complicated all of a sudden!

Long Fei was able to proactively suggest that he play.

At this point, he was naturally very grateful!

But Mata is also very clear-headed.

Under the current Manchester United tactical system.

Depay's wing midfielder.

Not suitable for those who don’t have outstanding speed ability!

As a professional player.

Who doesn’t have the desire to play!

For Mata.

He wants to play more than anyone else!

Not to mention, the league game against Bournemouth a few days ago.

Mata's performance was outstanding.

This allowed Long Fei to sit on the bench without any worries and take a good rest for the whole game.

Mata also feels that his current condition is very good.

But reality is cruel

Every player has his own niche.

Just like you can't let Ronaldo play as a defensive midfielder.

Let Messi play as a defender.

Unexpectedly, Long Fei did not suggest it casually.

Instead, he put forward his own ideas very seriously.

"I remember Mata played on the wing at Chelsea before moving to Manchester United"

"At least Mata is familiar with the wing position"

"This is enough!"

Long Fei's words once again confused the whole team.

Rooney didn't quite understand what Long Fei meant.

He said with some confusion:

"Long Fei, Mata does have the ability to play in the Champions League."

"But Mata doesn’t have Depay’s speed, I’m afraid"

Long Fei shook his head and interrupted:

"Depay has the advantages of Depay"

"But Mata also has Mata's advantages."

Long Fei looked at coach Van Gaal again and said:

"I remember you said that as the offensive core of the team"

"If you have any suggestions on tactics, you can put them forward in time."

"Now, I will make my first suggestion"

"I think Mata can play well as a wide midfielder"

"In daily training, Mata and I also had a lot of exchanges"

"We are quite familiar with each other's playing styles."

"So I think that tacit understanding is not a problem."

"As for tactics, the coach"

"Depay relied on his speed in the first half and created many threats on the wing."

"Even if Depay is not injured"

"According to Atletico Madrid's defensive vigilance, it may be difficult to rely on speed to open up the situation again!"

"Mata’s technical and ball-handling advantages"

"I think it can become Atletico Madrid’s unexpected new hot spot!"

Long Fei's words seemed to be very reasonable!

It also made the entire Manchester United team, including coach Louis van Gaal, unable to help thinking! Although Van Gaal still has some doubts about Mata playing on the wing. But from now on. During the game, Van Gaal also fully saw that Long Fei's game reading ability, compared with other players, has extraordinary super talent! Therefore, Van Gaal also attached great importance to Long Fei's suggestion. After a short period of thinking , he.Van Gaal decided to continue to believe in Long Fei! Let Mata replace Depay. That is only using up one substitution place. If something inappropriate happens, he still has room for adjustment of two substitution places!

"Mata, then just follow what Long Fei said, you will play as a full midfielder in the second half..！"

"I hope you can show your strength!"

Hearing Van Gaal's words,

Mata immediately stood up from his seat.

"Good coach! I am ready!"

At this moment, Mata was also excited!

He looked at Long Fei.

His eyes were full of gratitude.

Mata knew very well.

With his outstanding performance this season, Long Fei not only won the trust of his teammates.

He also won the trust of coach Fan early. Gal's favor!

He is already in the locker room. He has a considerable say!

If it weren't for Long Fei's suggestion, coach Van Gaal would definitely choose a speedy winger to replace the injured Depay based on the team's tactical characteristics.! There is absolutely no possibility of him playing! Although even Depay himself is a little unsure at the moment. He doesn't know how to implement the team's tactics in the second half, as his speed is not outstanding. But in his heart, he has an extremely firm belief! That means cooperating with Long Fei at all costs! This opportunity to play was earned by Long Fei for himself! He can't live up to Long Fei's trust! Long Fei seems to have seen some doubts in Mata's heart.

"Mata, you just need to play this position in the way you are most comfortable with."

"In normal training, the two of us also have wonderful cooperation!"

Long Fei's words also gave Mata great encouragement!

Mata nodded heavily.

At this time, captain Rooney also said firmly:

"Now that the score is tied, it's nothing more than getting back to the same starting line!"

"I believe Long Fei’s judgment"

"After Mata comes on in the second half, he will definitely be able to contribute to the team!"

"In the second half we fought hard against the opponent!"

"Fight!!"

Everyone shouted in unison!

The second half of the game is about to begin.

Players from both sides also returned to the field.

When they saw Mata walking to the field with the players.

All Manchester United fans were quite surprised!

"ah? Mata actually played in the second half?!"

"Will Mata replace Depay?!"

"Doesn’t Mata have no speed impact? Is he sure he can play as a winger?"

"Mata has played on the wing at Chelsea before, but that was already two years ago!"

"When Mata was the main player at Manchester United last season, he also played in the center position and did not play much on the wing."

"Why send him on the field?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Obviously, Manchester United fans are also quite confused about this substitution!

In the commentary room, commentator Martin Taylor was also a little confused about this substitution!

"Manchester United made substitution adjustments, with Mata replacing the injured Depay!"

"There seems to be something wrong with this substitution!"

"I don't deny that Mata is indeed very capable, after all, he was the main player of Manchester United last season!"

"But now he replaces Depay and wants to play on the wing!"

"But Mata does not have speed and assault ability!"

"If he plays on the wing"

"Then his role will definitely not be as good as Depay!"

"Looking at it this way, this substitution is somewhat meaningless!"

Martin Taylor also has some worries at this moment.

Now the two sides are tied. They are on the same starting line again.

But Atletico Madrid has the initiative, both offensively and defensively!

This means that after the start of the second half,[]

Manchester United is likely to be passive again!

Depay, who played well in the first half, was injured and left the field.

Mata, who was replaced in the second half, would definitely not be able to match Depay's role on the wing!

If you look at it this way.

Manchester United's strength must have been reduced!

The second half of the game was definitely more difficult!

At this time Simeone was also sneering on the sidelines.

When Depay went off injured.

Simeone already felt that the game was absolutely stable in the second half!

If Manchester United makes a substitution.

Definitely will replace him with a speedy wide player.

After all, the team's offensive tactics revolve around Long Fei alone.

And this offensive tactic requires that the winger must be a fast breakthrough player in order to maximize the effectiveness of the tactic!

But no matter what kind of players Manchester United replaces.

After all, this player is also a substitute.

After all, he is not as good as Depay!

So the second half of the game.

Manchester United's offensive capabilities have been weakened.

It’s a definite fact!

The result was something Simone never expected.

The situation in front of me seems to be more optimistic than I imagined!

Manchester United actually sent Mata up to replace Depay!

This is simply a stupid move!

Mata has no speed impact.

How to replace Depay, who has outstanding speed and breakthrough ability?!

Simeone took it for granted.

Manchester United have this pointless substitution.

Must be greedy for Mata's personal ability!

After all, with Mata's strength.

He was Manchester United's core midfielder last season.

Not to mention being in Manchester United's lineup.

Even if you put him on Atletico Madrid's side.

With his strength, he is enough to compete for a place in Atletico Madrid's starting lineup!

But put him on the wing and force him to play as a wing midfielder.

Some of them are too forced!

The real game is not about playing football games.

It’s not just about your personal ability that you can play a good position!

Adaptability to the position played.

As well as personal style characteristics and compatibility with team tactics.

Wait for these factors, if none of them match.

Then the role this player can play on the court is minimal!

And now Manchester United is making such a mistake!

Almost everyone watches this game.

Someone who understands Manchester United's tactics.

Everyone agreed that Mata's playing was a mistake!

But there was only one person at this time.

I have reservations about this view.

This person is the guest in the studio, Argonnes!

Argones in this game.

The change in personal attitude is also quite obvious!

Before the game, the team led by Simeone was better.

But now, after seeing the various abilities and talents displayed by Long Fei one after another.

Argones has rich coaching experience and is well-informed.

Surprisingly, Man has different opinions on this substitution!

"｀.Why do you keep emphasizing Mata's incompatibility with Manchester United's current tactics?"

"Why do you all agree that only fast wingers can maximize the efficiency of Manchester United's tactics?"

Argones asked two consecutive questions.

Martin Taylor on the side was stunned by the question!

"In fact, in the first half, Manchester United’s two goals"

"It has already shown the huge changes in their tactics!"

"The team still has Long Fei as its core"

"But look at the two goals Manchester United just scored!"

"Whether Long Fei retreats to the goalkeeper's position to get the ball and assists"

"Or is he supporting the full-backs in executing offensive tactics under the pressure of the high-post press!"

"The launch of these two attacks is very abnormal in itself!"

"Teams across Europe have a number of tactical systems with midfielders as the core of their offense.The odds!"

"But which team have you seen Manchester United's two attacks in the first half?!"

Just when Martin Taylor was recalling the words of the tactician master in front of him,

Argones also said something.

A conclusion that surprised all the fans!

"It doesn’t matter what kind of player the full midfielder is."

"What matters is what kind of players Long Fei wants!"

"Manchester United's tactics are never set in stone! Because this person from the Dragon Kingdom has extraordinary game reading ability!"

"If replaced by another midfielder, as the core of Manchester United"

"Then, Manchester United's two goals in the first half are simply impossible!"

"What if he wants Mata to play?"

"Even an ordinary Manchester United fan knows what kind of player the winger should replace"

"But Manchester United didn't do that!"

"In the next game, we should be able to know the reason!"

At this time, the second half of the game between the two sides began!

The rhythm was exactly the same as the first half.

Whether it was on the offensive end or the defensive end.

Atletico Madrid showed absolute aggression!

At this time, Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal next to him had a slight expression on his face. He was a little worried.

At this time, he felt quite unsure.

Out of his trust in Long Fei and a new attempt, he was able to send Mata on the field.

But Mata without speed ability.

After all, What kind of role can it play on the field.

This indeed makes Van Gaal deeply worried!

At this moment, Manchester United got the ball and got the opportunity to attack!

After Long Fei got the ball in the midfield, he did not hesitate to pass the ball horizontally To Mata!

Although this change is very detailed, it is very different from Manchester United's passing routine in the first half!

When Depay was there in the first half, it was impossible for Long Fei to pass the ball horizontally so decisively.

First of all, the position where Mata is located is not an area that Depay likes to stay.

As a speed impact player,

Depay prefers to ambush in an open space.

There are too many defensive players in the area where Mata is located.

The small space is not conducive to Depay's Speed ​​breakthrough!

Mata received a pass from Long Fei.

Originally, not many people paid attention to this subtle change.

But Mata's next operation surprised the players and fans of Manchester United!

Mata had just won The ball.

He was closely pressed by the surrounding Atletico Madrid players!

But completely different from Depay.

Mata did not pass the ball back like a hot potato at the first time.

Instead, he controlled the ball with a confident face Dribbling!

Mata, who has excellent technical ability and very good dribbling skills.

Not only relied on ball control to get rid of the pressing of Atletico Madrid players! He also used his unique dribbling rhythm changes.

He successfully threw away the defensive players and directly dribbled the ball. Push!

Not only did he get rid of the high-pressing defense, but he also broke through on the spot?!

This was an amazing scene that Manchester United had never seen in the first half!

At this time, Van Gaal was both surprised and a little surprised!

Mata really has no virtue. Depay's speed advantage.

But Mata's technical ability is completely lacking in Depay!

Van Gaal suddenly remembered that Long Fei talked a lot in the locker room! Could it be that Mata's playing will really become a new breakthrough for Manchester United?

A turning point?!.
