After four years of returning to the Premier League, Coutinho's Aston Villa debuted, although it was not until the 68th minute of the game that Coutinho appeared as a substitute, but in this short period of 20 minutes, Coutinho first assisted teammate Ramsey to score, and then personally played at Manchester United, helping Aston Villa to equalize the score in the unfavorable situation of 0-2.
Manchester United, who played away, played well, although there is still a lot of gap between the overall and the requirements of interim coach Lonnick, but in the case that C Ronaldo did not appear again, Sancho also lost the first start, the forward combination of Cavani, Greenwood and Erlanga played the most fluent frontcourt offensive effect of Manchester United in recent times.
In particular, Erlanga, who won 8 matches in the whole game, completed 6 touches in the opponent's penalty area, and formed a 4-foot shooting stat, it is inevitable that people will be impressed by this young man. Bruno Fernandez's offensive talent seems to have been activated again under such an offensive arrangement, a wonderful free-kick to score, two consecutive cities once helped Manchester United lead 2-0, it seems that B Fee is still more accustomed to this kind of forwardcourt "true core" style of play.
Just one advantage, there must be a drawback, Manchester United's frontcourt attack combination, although it has stimulated a long-lost vitality, but the midfield interception is still hard injuries, in a fred frequent insertion, more like playing in the center of the forward game, closer to the back of the position of Matic, after all, old age, experience, can not make up for his slower and slower, the coverage of the width of the field has not been as good as before.
And Aston Villa under the tutelage of manager Gerrard, is a team that advocates high positions, facing manchester United's almost undefended arrangement of midfield, although in the opening stage, Villa's overall formation under the surging attack of Manchester United, the overall formation was suppressed to avoid its sharp edge, but once this momentum was reversed, Villa's impact and pressure on Manchester United was not something that Manchester United could handle today.
It's just that Villa lacks the player who can further improve the offensive efficiency of the frontcourt, and the player who can make up his mind.
At this time, Gerald waved a big hand: "Bright up, my good brother!" ”
At the crucial moment of great urgency, Gerald sent Coutinho, who had been empty of momentum, but made mistakes; after Coutinho came on, Villa's players in the front court suddenly improved a lot, Coutinho led Villa to cooperate continuously in front of the Manchester United penalty area, and finally burst into the box to assist Ramsey's goal score; subsequently, Coutinho was spiritually wrapped, although he ran a little, he was still able to adjust his position in time and complete the clever shot.
This is the role of the powerful players in the technical stream, and it is also the finishing touch of Gerald.
After four difficult years at Barca, although Bayern won the Champions League trophy on loan, the doubts made Coutinho's life at Barca not good, and the high transfer value once prevented Coutinho from finding another high.
Now, when Coutinho's reputation and value have not been as good as before, Gerald has thrown an olive branch to Coutinho in time with full sincerity: "Brother, come to me, you can still have a few years to continue to shine." ”
As an old teammate who has worked together, Gerald knows Coutinho's ability and playing habits, and is confident that Coutinho's stunt of "a cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops and horses will meet each other" will reappear again, and the 36-year-old Ashley Young can shine under Gerald, why can't 29-year-old Coutinho?
Coutinho, under great pressure, did not live up to Gerrard's expectations, and in the first game of his return to the Premier League, he proved to the world: "(As long as there is the right tactical system) I am still that Coutinho!" ”
Of course, a game is far from telling anything, but it is undoubtedly a good start for both Coutinho and Aston Villa, with Coutinho finding the stage to prove himself again; Aston Villa finding the right person to strengthen the team.
And the most correct person, I am afraid, is gerald, without Gerald, would Coutinho come to Aston Villa? Gerald is not just a simple appeal, a few games down the platoon and on-the-spot substitution adjustment, the same remarkable, in the competition with Ronnick, Gerrard is quite a master, not at all downwind; Lonnick in a game until the 70th minute is still very satisfied, suddenly the style of painting suddenly took a sharp turn, inevitably some autism, depressed!
