Ferguson, who was short of soldiers, sent a 442 formation in this game.

Goalkeeper: De Gea

Defenders: Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand, Evera

Midfielder: Valencia, Phil Jones, Carrick, Nani

Forward: Rooney, Velbeck

On their bench were also sitting on Jisung, Lindergard, Giggs, Flairs, Gibson, Ashley Young, Macheda, etc. At first glance, their substitute lineup is not much different from Crystal Palace substitute lineup.

The name is 442, but it is actually not much different from Crystal Palace's 433. Lu Xiaopang can play as a front midfielder. Wen Sheng remembers that Xiaopang played as a midfielder later, and the front midfielder position is nothing.

However, his playing as a front midfielder is different from De Bruyne's front midfielder. De Bruyne can retreat deeply and organize, but the current Xiaopang will definitely not retreat too deeply.

So in the midfield, Ferguson also placed a young player Phil Jones, who had excellent organizational long passes and dispatches.

Phil Jones may not have seen through this player, but Wensheng knows the kid's ability.

Let's not talk about defensive ability and other things, this kid is particularly capable of running, and he can be called Iron Lung. Sir Jue used Park San Lung in the middle of the week, and Phil Jones used this game again to make up for the lack of retreat on the front line.

Phil Jones's functions are actually quite similar to Kanter's functions.

If you change to other coaches, you may not understand why Ferguson used the four-center defender technique, but Wen Sheng, a visitor from later generations, knows it very well.

...

"The game begins! Watch the game first!" With Mike Dean's whistle, Ren Xing typed a line of words in the group and began to stare at the computer with concentration.

As a bully, Ren Xing will definitely not buy any Premier League members. There are many online pirated versions, just search for a link, but the picture may not be very clear.

But what does it matter? Ren Xing feels very happy.

The competition has begun, and Ren Xing hasn't figured out who he wants to support today!

With the Manchester United growing up in 1999, Ren Xing had a deep relationship with Manchester United, but Wen Sheng is a Chinese and Hao Junmin is also in Crystal Palace, so his heart has to be shaken.

"Why don't you go to Hao Junmin?! After getting to Hao Junmin, I will have another reason to support you!" Ren Xing stared at Wen Sheng who was standing on the sidelines and complained silently.

Standing on the sidelines is Wen Sheng's habit. Crystal Palace will not adopt a defensive counterattack strategy in this game. When he came to Old Trafford, he was always defeated in the past. This time he wanted to let Crystal Palace show his fangs.

Ferguson sent Phil Jones to another purpose, which was to compete with Crystal Palace. Phil Jones was definitely not tall, but she was covered in tendons and flesh, with a wide body and fat body. She not only had speed but also body, and she could be called a powerful general.

Ferguson probably realized that just speaking of technology, his midfield may not be able to beat Crystal Palace, so after the opening, Manchester United showed his home momentum and frequently used his body to carry it with Crystal Palace.

He thought it was pretty, and he used his body to kill the sharpness of the Crystal Palace, and then took the initiative.

Crystal Palace kicked off first, but in just over ten seconds, Phil Jones knocked down Kanter in the midfield and took the ball away.

Kanter has a strong ability to control the ball and can also use his body, but he can't resist Phil Jones's method of using suspected fouls!

Wensheng was very unhappy with the penalty this time and yelled on the sidelines again.

But Canter was much better than him. He got up from the ground, didn't complain, and ran back quickly. When Nani passed the ball to Rooney, Rooney was about to draw the bow and shoot the arrow, Canter was in place and took the ball back from Rooney's feet.

Kanter's actions made the players on the bench applaud.

Kanter is an honest person, but he must not be said to have a good popularity in the team. Valdy is good at popularity. Vardy likes to brag and spank in the team, while Kanter performs well on the court, but he is very low-key off the court and doesn't like nonsense, so he is not very popular.

The one with a strong relationship with Kante in the team is Vardy, and another loyal friend, Endiaye, was sent away by Wensheng this season.

Everyone applauded, because they felt from the bottom of their heart that Kanter was reliable on the court.

Rooney was very upset. He was a little careless. He didn't adjust the step after receiving the ball, and he didn't pay attention to Kant who came out of the diagonal thorn.

Ferguson was a little jealous when he saw Kanter's performance. Phil Jones was not bad, but it was a low-end version. Kanter was the high-end version of the midfielder. If he had his Carrick partner and had an exclusive front midfielder Rooney in the front, the midfield would be perfect.

"You can talk to Daniel after the game!" Ferguson thought. He seemed to have forgotten that every time he talked about the players in Crystal Palace, Wen Sheng's eyes wanted to kill him.

The players of Crystal Palace have a strong desire to win. After the game, they did not become conservative because they were away teams. On the contrary, they had to show their swords and guns to fight against Manchester United.

Ferguson probably didn't think about getting to this game. Both sides tried to attack the opponent's hinterland from the first minute. Manchester City mainly played two sides, using Valencia and Nani to attack.

On the Crystal Palace, it mainly takes the middle lane, relies on De Bruyne to break through and disrupt the opponent's line. The two wingers leaned as far as possible to pull the width of Manchester United's defensiveness.

In the fourth minute, under Kante's cover, De Bruyne broke through Carrick's defense in the middle and passed the ball straight on the side with a kick. Mertens quickly inserted and passed the ball in the inverted triangle. Kante followed up and completed Crystal Palace's first shot.

Kanter's running position this time was quite good, but unfortunately his shot was a bit soft and powerless, and did not pose too much threat to De Gea.

In the sixth minute, after Stroman intercepted the ball in the backcourt, he launched a long pass. Vardy avoided Els and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. The shot was blocked by Ferdinand, who was killed back.

In the tenth minute, De Bruyne received a ball from Mkhitaryan, and kept shooting with one shot, and missed the goal.

Relying on his technical advantages, Crystal Palace achieved this climax within ten minutes. Unfortunately, Manchester United's defense in the middle is quite stable. It should be Ferguson's deliberate arrangement. Phil Jones and Carrick have a relatively high defense rate. In addition to Vardy's scoring opportunity, Crystal Palace's other two shots are also relatively barely enough.

But Manchester United didn't complete a shot in ten minutes.

Lu Xiaopang is No. 9 and a half, and the retreat is not deep enough. Manchester United's midfield organization is not very good. Carrick is good in the backcourt, but the forward dispatch is not very good. He always likes to pass the ball on the side, but Valencia and Nani have not yet entered the state. The two of them have tried to join in at least 6 times within ten minutes, but unfortunately, they failed to succeed once.

"Brothers! Manchester United is very passive?!" Ren Xing typed these words on the keyboard.

"There's no way! I've long said that Crystal Palace's midfield has stronger control ability. Except for the opening time, Manchester United's midfielder has lost power now!" Shushan's gullie Zhang Liang replied.

"Manchester United's midfield is a problem!" said netizen Xiaolongbao.

"The Lord wants to poach De Bruyne!"

"Dig a shit! Wen Shengli will definitely not send De Bruyne to Manchester United!"

Ferguson stood on the sidelines chewing gum, feeling nervous.

He has no reason to show weakness at home. The team's formation is moderate. He originally planned to use his body to open the way, but this plan quickly broke down. The players of Crystal Palace are not impatient and control them slowly. It is not easy for Manchester United to grab it. You can't just hit it if you don't like it, right?!

It is impossible for Mike Dean to pretend to turn a blind eye.

Everyone knows the midfield issue of Manchester United. In the press conference after losing to Basel in the middle of the week, a reporter asked Ferguson whether to make up for the winter break. Ferguson said it was difficult to buy people during the winter break, but he didn't think so in his heart. He had to buy people during the winter break.

Manchester United's midfielder now includes Giggs, Park Ji-sung and Anderson, but they can't replace the position of Ginger Head Scholes.

Park Ji-sung is good at running, so he just laughs at the organizational ability.

Anderson's breakthrough ability is pretty good, but his overall view and vision are poor.

Giggs is old. Don’t look at Keane’s praise of Giggs, but Ferguson understands that Giggs is in good or bad condition. At such an age, you can’t expect him to be so outstanding in every game.

If you don’t buy someone, Ferguson feels that his team may not be able to compete with Manchester City Crystal Palace!
Chapter completed!
