Eliminate Manchester United in 13 rounds of penalty kicks, English League Two teams teach on-site, Manchester United see what profession is

Premier League team Manchester United met the English League Two team Greensby Town in the second round of the League Cup. Both sides were indistinguishable. They drew 2-2 in regular time and did not decide the winner. They played more than 10 rounds of penalty shootout before they decided to win. The goalkeepers at the end of the pick all ran out and gave a penalty. In the 13-round penalty kick, two new players from Manchester United, Cunya + Mbeumo, were lost, while Greensby Town, only lost one, and Manchester United was successfully eliminated.

Manchester United actually had a certain degree of rotation in this game, but Greensby Town had the ability to force out all of Manchester United's main lineups, and even forced Manchester United to sprint to equalize the score at the last moment of the game. This fourth-level team in England made Manchester United, the most prestigious team in England, lose face.

What type of team is Greensby?

EUB 2 is the last level of England's professional football system. The amateur league is down. Greensby Town is a team with a total value of only a few million euros. Manchester United signed the $4 million left-wingback Diego Leon, which is enough to sign the entire team of Greensby Town. Before the Manchester United reserve team is unable to enter the first team, they are usually loaned to the English League Two and the English League One.

In other words, such a team is actually the strength of Manchester United reserve players. Even the players of Manchester United reserve players are usually the core, absolute main force of the team, and have absolute technical advantages. In other words, this game is the level of Manchester United's first team vs. Manchester United reserve team, or the level of reserve team that cannot play in the first team.

Manchester United's starting lineup: semi-main lineup, 400 million starting roster

In this game, Manchester United conducted a large-scale rotation, with Amade + Dalot partnering on the right, Cunya + Dorgu partnering on the left, Cesco + Menu + Ugat + Maguire + Onana forming the central axis, and the two sideline center backs chose young youth training players Frederickson and Eden Haven.

The total value of this lineup is 370 million yuan, including Premier League veteran Maguire, former Wolves core Cunya, football rookie Cesco, European Cup runner-up Kobe Menu, and Uruguay's main midfielder Ugat. No matter what lineup you line up, even if you play as an 8th defender or a single defender, your game should be crushing. Bayern usually scored 10 or 12 goals in the past preseason games without any effort, and they are all teams with such a big gap in strength, but Manchester United performed like this.

Question one: The English League Two teams teach Manchester United how to play the overall

against Premier League teams, Greensby Town's performance was not at all inferior. Before the game, Manchester United had more clearances in the penalty area than Greensby Town, and they were even very close to scoring more goals. The contrast is very large, right? This is the difference between playing like a whole and completely loose.

This team that enters the non-professional league if relegated, plays more professionally than Manchester United. The picture above is a microcosm of the game. When Greensby Town dribbled into the penalty area, they already had three players in Manchester United's penalty area, and Manchester United only had one defender in the penalty area. You can imagine what the scene is.

Look at what kind of scene is the opponent when Manchester United attacks. Not to mention that all the players return to defense, their running is in place. In this case, except for a few players such as Cunya, the entire Manchester United team wants to win, all the players are playing loosely, taking the ball alone and passing the ball out of bounds.

Problem 2: Manchester United's excessive force and insufficient force

Onana passed the ball to Doorgu out of bounds, please enjoy it. In fact, it's not just Onana. Menu passed the ball too hard, Dorgu used too hard in the cross, and Amade used too hard enough. The whole Manchester United team seemed to be using too hard. Logically speaking, Manchester United has better skills and stronger control than the English League Two teams, but what's wrong with you exerting too much force?

Because Manchester United is exerting too much force or the players are not running properly, there are serious problems with Manchester United's excessive attack in the third zone. I'll show you another scene. Please enjoy it carefully. Doorgu dribbled the ball to the corner of the penalty area. Manchester United's teammates following up in the back row have not yet followed, and they are all slow, so that Doorgu had to brake. The original fast attack instantly evolved into a positional battle.

Look, you pass too hard and your running is loose and loose. Is this a well-trained professional team? Is this a Premier League team? Now, the English League Two teams are really more tactical and disciplined than Manchester United.

Problem 3: If you play alone in the game

Since you play loosely, it means that you play alone in the game. I will compare a set of data for you: Greensby Town's confrontation success rate is 55%, Manchester United 45%, Greensby Town's steal success rate is 82%, and Manchester United 57%. These two sets of data directly represent the gap in physical confrontation levels. Greensby Town is very eager to win, and they are eager to win Manchester United.

So, they fully show their style, that is, they pass the ball and the people. Even if you pass me, I will push you behind the scenes. Do you know what the 82% steal success rate means? It means that as long as I am in the defensive position, no matter whether you pass or dribble the ball, you cannot break through me, and your defense is as stable as Mount Tai.

So, why are their steal success rates so high? Because Manchester United all work alone. I'll give you another data. Manchester United's center Sesco, who claimed to be retracement organization and retracement, only touched the ball 7 times in the 26th minute of the game.. The game has been played one-quarter, and your center has returned to the midfield and has only touched the ball 7 times. What does this mean?

Question 4: The high error rate brought by individual dribbling

will show you another game scene. Sesco has got a good shot opportunity. Do you know who passed the shot this time?

I have taken a screenshot and show it to you. The answer is Maguire. The English League Two teams cannot fully control the offensive zone 14, which is the problem of the front of the penalty area. Manchester United has a lot of possession at the front of the penalty area. Manchester United used Kobe Menu and Cunha as organizational tasks at the front of the penalty area in this game, but they couldn't pass it, only Maguire's pass was just right.

Menu had a straight pass and used too much force; Cunia dribbled the ball and attacked by herself. Manchester United is so loose that they can only rely on veteran Maguire to support the scene at critical moments. So, what problems does Manchester United bring about? The first goal conceded was due to Amade Diallo being intercepted and was very active in counter-attacking, but he was snatched with Ugath, but when the opponent passed the long post and shot, there were still only two people in Manchester United's penalty area.

You can see the second goal conceded, which was also Amad's dribbling mistake. The opponent formed a corner kick in a fast attack, Onana made a mistake in attacking, and the opponent successfully shot. They scored 1 goal before, but the handball was blown away first. This is the problem caused by Manchester United's frequent mistakes. People dare to invest their troops on the offensive end, and Manchester United dare not invest their troops on the defensive end.

Manchester United's counterattack: The strong English League Two team

Manchester United can draw the opponent, but it still makes substitution adjustments during the halftime break. Players such as B Fee, Mbeumo and others have successively played. Manchester United took out the full main lineup of the Premier League, which has tied the powerful English League Two team. Mbeumo's dribbling shot this time, Manchester United actually had a chance in the first half, but Amade Diallo's pace was always a beat slower. This time when Maguire headed the ball to equalize the score, Manchester United also had a chance in the first half, but Manchester United's pace was a beat slower. You need to tie the opponent at the last moment of the game and drag the score into a penalty shootout, which itself is the problem.

Competition summary: Tactical issues? Attitude issue

Many people really don’t know how big the strength gap between the reserve team and the first team. The reserve team is still at amateur level to some extent. Therefore, Manchester United should be crushing in this game no matter what, but instead was forced into a desperate situation by a British League Two team, which itself is enough to illustrate the problem.

With Manchester United's starting lineup, let alone playing as a third central defender, even if you play as an eight central defender, you will not behave like this. There is no tactical discipline, no integrity, loose positioning, careless passing, and tell me it is a tactical problem? My eyes are full of questions about the attitude of the game.

Manchester United is a very strange team. It has its own technical advantages, but Manchester United competes with the English League Two teams. When Manchester United plays against the Premier League team, they like to compete with others for high positions. Anyway, Manchester United likes to find the opponent's strengths and compare who is longer with the opponent.
