518 Manchester United's weaknesses

Don't look at this period, Blackburn is turbulent. All kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky. I don't know which one is true and which is false.

In addition, Ferguson was aggressive before the game, and George could only be beaten passively.

But although he is at a disadvantage, George has not been idle at all during this period. George looks like he has a hard face every day and is in a bad mood. In fact, I analyze Manchester United's game every day. Manchester United has been strong since 2006, and now it is the third season.

In 06-07, Ferguson led Manchester United to win the Premier League, which made Mourinho angry. It is also a sign of the re-emergence of Manchester United.

The 07-08 season is even more amazing. He not only won the Premier League championship, but also won the Champions League. Ferguson's third-generation disciples are fully mature. After the reorganization of the defense line and the addition of Vidic and Evra, it is also perfect. In particular, Xiao Luo has become the world's first star. Last year, his undisputed performance became the World Footballer of the Year and the European Footballer of the Year.

In the 07-08 season, the whole of Europe is under the banner of Red Devils Manchester United.

In this season, Manchester United is still strong.

Judging from the current state, there is no problem to win the Premier League championship. That is the second club to win three consecutive Premier League championships since the establishment of the Premier League. Even in the face of reporters, Ferguson made a lot of words. He said that his biggest goal was to kick Liverpool off the throne.

Ferguson's goal is to lead Manchester United to surpass Liverpool in the top league.

But no one thinks it's impossible. According to the current strength of Manchester United, it is only a matter of time before Liverpool is in the downturn.

Manchester United is very strong.

This is recognized by everyone.

But Manchester United is not without shortcomings.

George's understanding and analysis of Manchester United's lineup. I know the current situation of Manchester United very well.

Ferguson used his extraordinary platooning ability to cover up the weakness of Manchester United as much as possible. Ferguson is really good. But this weakness can't disappear by covering it up. At most, it's just a cover-up.

It can be covered up, but it still exists.

Manchester United's biggest problem now is the midfield.

Manchester United's midfield is very weak.

Manchester United's back line is a world-class defense line, Gary. Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.

The striker is also good. The combination of Xiao Luo and Rooney. There is also one of the best twelve, Tevez. The attack power of these people is ranked first in the world football.

But the midfield is very shabby.

Fletcher, Anderson, Giggs, Park Ji-sung, Scholes, Nani and others.

If you just look at fame, of course they are good. Unfortunately, the reality is different.

Anderson and Nani are talented players bought by Ferguson for the renewal in the midfield. Anderson is 18 million pounds and Nani is 17 million pounds. At the age of 20, this value is already sky-high.

Anderson performed very well last season. Last season, Manchester United won the Champions League and the league championship, and Anderson made a great contribution. Unfortunately, by this season, the state has dropped a lot. In the midfield, defense and defense are not good, and attack and attack are not good.

And when Nani came to Manchester United, he was known as the "New Cristiano Ronaldo". He is indeed Xiao Luo's successor. After coming to Manchester United, he was as addicted to personal technology as Xiao Luo was at the beginning. I haven't been able to cooperate with the team, but now I have lost the main position in the competition with Park Ji-sung.

Park Ji-sung was used by Ferguson. Just like last season's Champions League semi-finals, Park Ji-sung was put in the midfield by Ferguson. Park Ji-sung's contribution in the attack was average, but it interfered with Harvey, which made Harvey very uncomfortable.

After two rounds, he turned out to be the best player.

Every time it comes to a tough battle, Ferguson uses Park Ji-sung.

But George is not afraid of Ferguson using Park Ji-sung. Park Ji-sung is an engineering player at Manchester United. Although running without the ball is very distinctive, it is a pity that there is no creative player in the middle of Manchester United.

As for Giggs and Scholes, although they are becoming more and more demonic, if Manchester United's replacement is successful, Ferguson will definitely not let Giggs and Scholes continue to be the main force of the team. Ferguson actually used a lot of people to replace the 92nd generation.

Fletcher, Alan. Smith, Anderson, Nanny and Kleberson just couldn't take over smoothly. Fletcher was the most successful, but the others did not meet their expectations.

Think about Manchester United back then.

Beckham, Keane, Scholes and Giggs are lined up, and whoever looks at them is not worried. But now these midfields. You can't control the ball. Pass the ball, pass the ball is not good. Compared with those years, the strength of Manchester United's midfield has dropped too much.

Manchester United now has a strong defense and strong attacks from Ronaldinho and Rooney in the front court. So Ferguson used the attack power of the front-court players and a strong back line to not pass through the midfield. Manchester United's attack is more about quickly passing through the midfield, and then tearing apart the opponent's defense by the personal ability of several people in the front court.

This style of play tries to cover up the lack of strength of midfielders.

But the weakness of Manchester United's midfield is actually there. Manchester United's midfielder is not as good as other strong teams in the Premier League.

Needless to say, even Arsenal's midfielder is better than Manchester United. When playing against Manchester United, Manchester United can't compare with other strong teams in the midfield competition.

So George is aiming for the middle of Manchester United.

This is Manchester United's biggest weakness.

............Manchester United played a 4-3-3 lineup in this game.

Ferguson obviously absorbed the Chelsea winger. But Manchester United is not Chelsea's winger. He doesn't have a fixed center or a fixed winger. Ferguson's Manchester United three strikers, their positions change at will.

Some people even say that Manchester United's style of playing is a front-court riot.

The three strikers in this game are Ronaldinho, Rooney and Park Ji-sung. Xiao Luo became a striker, and Rooney and Park Ji-sung were two sides. In fact, three players can change positions at will.

In the middle, Fletcher's main defense, Anderson's contact before and after, and Giggs' current waist. This is Manchester United's starting lineup.

George placed five people in the midfield: Ribery, Alonso, Essin, Yang Feng and Kaka.

At the beginning of the game, Blackburn began a fierce attack at Old Trafford Stadium.

And Blackburn's attack is no longer the same speed as before. It's the control of the midfield.

George asked Alonso to move forward, while Kaka, Ribery and Yang Feng kept changing positions. Blackburn's midfielders are all skilled players. In the past, George asked Alonso to retreat and protect the defense.

Then rely on Alonso's long pass to fight back.

Now it is competing with Manchester United for control of the midfield.

For Manchester United's midfielder, George is most worried about Fletcher. Fletcher is very defensive and very fierce. It is very useful to deal with players with good skills.

George, the other players, are not very worried.

Anderson is not in good condition this season, defense, defense is not good. Attack, attack and drag. It's like a superfluous person in the midfield.

As for Giggs, he is really old.

He has excellent skills, excellent passing and experience. But this is on the basis of his ability to take the ball. Now Giggs is 35 years old, and Giggs himself is a technical player. He is not a strong player at all.

In the face of Blackburn's oppressive play in midfield, it is also difficult for Giggs to take the ball. Because now Manchester United's midfielder refers to Fletcher alone. How can it stop the attack group composed of Alonso, Kaka, Ribery and Yang Feng? These midfielders Blackburn are young, young is capital, and they are full of physical strength. In addition to constantly passing the ball to control the ball, it is forced to grab.

Blackburn suddenly rushed in the middle, which made Manchester United very uncomfortable.

I'm really not used to it.

When Ferguson arranged this game, he didn't expect it to be like this.

Blackburn's current internal and external troubles, according to George's usual practice, must be playing defensive counterattack. Moreover, Blackburn has the strength to play defensive counterattacks, especially fast players in the front court. It is best to play defensive counterattack.

But he didn't expect George to attack boldly and began to fight in the midfield.

Manchester United's midfielder is not as domineering as Keane's.

Even Fletcher relies more on fierce competition. It is far from the height of Keane in those years.

Keane could be a midfielder in those years, but Fletcher could not reach this level. So Fletcher was alone in the midfield, facing Blackburn's attacking player, very tired. Run from the left to the right and from the right to the left. There is no one else to help in the midfield.

Therefore, Blackburn scrambled in the midfield and immediately disrupted Manchester United's midfield.

Although Rooney and Ronaldinho in the front court are very threatening. In particular, Xiao Luo seems to be a center forward, but in fact he is just a pseudo center forward. His position is very active. As long as there is a ball on the left and right, it will go anywhere.

Xiao Luo has too much time to take the ball.

Rooney, the number one brand in England, can only help Xiao Luo at this time. It can also be seen that Ferguson's reuse of Ronaldinho.

And Xiao Luo is very comprehensive.

You can head the ball into the penalty area and make a long shot outside the penalty area. Anyway, everything is fine.

There are many threats to Blackburn's defense line.

But at this time, George doesn't care about this anymore.

Now that Manchester United's midfielder is so weak, how can he not take advantage of it?

It is true that Manchester United's midfielder is at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with Blackburn. Ferguson frowned deeply. George was always so unexpected.

But Ferguson is not a vegetarian.

He immediately instructed Manchester United to retreat a little in the midfield, and then pulled Park Ji-sung down from the winger position to the front waist position. Let Park Ji-sung interfere with Alonso, and if there is a chance, he will attack. Giggs retreated and organized the attack of the whole team.

Fletcher and Anderson are responsible for protecting the backfield.

Xiao Luo and Rooney are in front, waiting for the opportunity to fight back.

Ferguson changed, and George also changed. On the sidelines, Manchester United's midfield defense is too weak. If the midfield defense is strong, it can even protect two sides. But Manchester United can't do it now except Fletcher.

So this attack was not only two full-backs, Ribery and Yang Feng, but also full-backs Bynes and Macon. Continued pressure on Manchester United.
