Why is Pogba's tactical position higher than his? He saved solskjaer but limited Manchester United

In the early hours of this morning, Manchester United lost 0-1 at home to Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Manchester United has been in the grain for five consecutive seasons, and is also suffering from the club's longest title drought in nearly 40 years, and the glory of the former giants is no longer there. At the same time, Ronaldo has also stopped the Champions League round of 16 for three consecutive seasons, and has also experienced a season without a championship.

In this game, Lonnick did not follow the starting lineup of the last round of league victory over Tottenham Hotspur, but adjusted the lineup, many fans felt that the probability of losing as soon as they saw the start came out, B fee returned to the start after the end of isolation, and Pogba, who had recently performed well, was pressed on the bench, McTomine replaced Nemanja Matic, and C Luola returned to the left side, such a lineup laid the groundwork for the loss, the most critical figure of which was B Fee.

When B Fei first joined Manchester United, he immediately became the thigh of the team, saving not only Manchester United, but also saving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was shaky at the time. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took B Fee as the core to cultivate, and B Fee also lived up to expectations, coming up with eye-catching data, which played a pivotal role in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactical system.

B Fee's advantage is that as an atypical midfielder, his technical characteristics are actually more inclined to the role of shadow forward or two forward. Anyone who has played live knows that he belongs to the style of the front-line attacker, and his playing habit is to penetrate the opposing defense through a large number of simple one-foot shots and interspersed coordination, especially through long passes and empty cuts to attack the opposing defenders.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactics are more defensive counterattacks, using the physical strength and speed of young players in the front court to attack the opponent's backline infinitely, B Fee is in the tactical system of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, B Fee does not take the ball too much, through a foot pass to quickly tear apart the opponent's backline, find a better position of the attacker. When the opponent studied B fee thoroughly, his shortcomings were gradually exposed, becoming the most effective part of the attack on Manchester United, and other teams followed suit.

B Fee's shortcomings are that his absolute speed is not enough, the ability to dribble people is not strong, the physical confrontation is insufficient, and even some fear, these factors determine that he does not have other super giant single-point blasting ability, which is much worse than De Bruyne and Eriksen. This has led to B Fee becoming a double-edged sword, when he needs other players to output physical confrontation and empty running position for him when he has the ball, and when he is in the middle of the ball, he cannot serve as a stable point of departure, although he will often intersperse behind the opponent, but this cannot be used in position warfare.

As a giant, Manchester United is currently difficult to enter the top four in the table, in fact, this can be seen in the content of the game after Pogba's injury. When opponents play high (Southampton, Which United beat Southampton 9-0 last season) or pass football (Brighton), United are deeply defensive and looking for a counterattack, which always has a good effect, but when the opponent gives up possession and United needs to play a position war, Manchester United without Pogba will not be able to move forward. Therefore, the key players in the current Manchester United squad are not C Ronaldo, but midfielders Pogba and B Fee.

Pogba can not only rely on physical superiority to deliver passes forward in defense, but he is more able to attract opponents to defend when attacking, taking opposing players out of the defensive area, and can also complete high-quality long-pass scheduling, whether it is positional attack or defensive counterattack, he is an important part of the team's midfield. In the "Manchester City derby" with Manchester City, Sancho scored a goal that came from Pogba's long diagonal pass after getting rid of it, and accurately found Sancho. As long as Pogba goes all out and is not lazy, he is definitely the world-class midfielder currently in the top three.

Last season, B Fee put aside only 9 sports goals on penalties, and lost 37 times, ranking third in the team and first in the team this season. Last season, thanks to the anti-counter tactics and pogba's output, B Fee was able to fire under cover, but when Pogba was absent this season, Manchester United's opponents gave up possession and low defense, and B Fee, who held the core of the attacking organization, became manchester United's real Achilles heel. The damage of losing the ball in the counterattack is to let the teammates run back pointlessly, the loss of the ball in the position battle, the biggest impact is the weak back of Manchester United, and the speed of the "aircraft carrier U-turn" Manchester United defense, this season's repeated mistakes of the back and defenders have part of the reason to be attributed to the B fee.

The problem is that United's current midfield is already weak, and the current technical and tactical system cannot accommodate a midfielder as a shadow forward. Being a shadow striker is okay, but you have to be all-round, or your teammates will have to take on more pressure. Every player has a long board and a short board, but B fee's ability to have the ball is not a little worse, this type of player is either a thigh in a weak team or a strong team to influence the structure, B fee, Coutinho, Lingard are all this type. You will find that what they have in common, they play well when the team is not strong, both are at the level of the second echelon of the Premier League, if you want to become a top team, you can't have such a role in the starting lineup.

Therefore, in the current Manchester United squad, Pogba's tactical position is higher than B fee, and Pogba's departure from the team this summer is basically a nail in the coffin, which makes Manchester United, which originally lacks an organizational back, even worse, and if B fee lacks the protection of powerful players, Manchester United will be more difficult next season.
