Muzi Guanhudou | In desperation, it is like being favored by heaven Ten Hach and Manchester United have won precious time

Despite United's continued poor performance, Ten Hach remains tough on the outside.

Whether in the post-match or pre-match press conference, Tenhach has always expressed the team's attitude of coming together and fighting to get out of trouble, but he must have known that he must first buy time for himself.

Manchester United do not have a tradition of sacking managers whenever they encounter problems, but in recent years Manchester United have added the persistent problem of collective discouragement when problems arise.

So in this game, Tenhach made some changes appropriately, Amrabat no longer played left-back, Mount was pushed directly up front, and Manchester United formed a regular 4231 idea.

However, on the back line are Harry Maguire, Evans and Lindelof.

Yes, Varane has another injury, and no one on the left-back has yet to return, so Ten Hach can only discharge such a helpless line of defense.

Needless to say, the central backs combination of Harry Maguire and Evans had big problems with movement, so in the 4th minute of the game, Mbeumo went between the two and received the out-of-bounds ball to form an exploration of the right rib:

Lindeloff plays full-back, and we mentioned it from the time when Rangnick led the team to play Atletico, which is actually a good idea, after all, Manchester United's back line is weak all year round, and protecting a side with a central defender physique that is good at covering can actually effectively reduce the burden of central defenders, that is, the variant of the three-back idea.

And this game Lindelof plays left-back against the foot and can also provide such a line to help the team when there is the ball:

But the centre-back pulling the wing, no matter how flexible it is, is no match for the orthodox full-back, so he needs players with speed and flexibility around him to help, which is why Manchester United have used Lindelöf on the side several times, and it seems that the effect is not good.

So after this unsuccessful attack, the back line immediately exposed the problem in the covering space, Evans' contraction, Maguire's slow traverse, directly by Brentford into the right rib, the whole team was brought back:

That's the real problem for Manchester United this game.

The double back waist was also used, and it was not the 4141 system, the intensity of the high pressing was also reduced, and some concessions were made throughout the tactical idea.

The attack up front, despite a lot of mistakes in the core area, leads to not playing the best content:

Most of the threats need to be established by crosses from the right, but at least they form a siege and suppression:

But the problems at the back are so obvious that the centre-back line has no hope of blocking the opponent's counter-attack from the high post, and Maguire, the most capable of coming forward, has long explained why he is a substitute central defender:

And it is not easy for the delayed Evans to finish this game.

After being pinned down by Mbeumo and Visa at the back, Casemiro and Amrabat went around filling in the gaps, and problems would arise when they filled their own defensive zone:

And in this desperate situation, Casemiro's mistake also allowed Brentford to score:

As soon as the ball was conceded, there was only one way left in front of Manchester United, and the full-back of Lindelof's physique began to insert:

Not plugging in will not only further expose the problems of the centre-back, but also increase his own consumption, but is there any other way for Manchester United?

So strictly speaking, Tenhag's problem in the starting position is not very big, after all, the backfield is like this, he himself has no way, and in order to accommodate this back line, today's pressure has been adjusted down a lot.

At the end of the day, playing at home desperately needs victory, and against Brentford, 0-0 really can't make a defensive counter-attacking starting option.

Not only that, but today's Tenhach can also be scored a relatively good score.

Because he returned at half-time, he first replaced Casemiro, who has been in obvious form recently, and in addition to a slightly monotonous cross in the first half:

Manchester United had a new command to shoot from distance in the second half:

This is a targeted attack on the hierarchy of Brentford's three-back formation, hoping to attract Brentford's defensive system to expand and then add a little space to players in the core area.

Heylen is obviously an important player in this step, but after all, he is a new recruit in the Premier League, and he does not yet understand that in the Premier League, he must grasp this iron law as soon as possible when he pours space under his feet:

But just like the first half with only a single cross, United lacked the awareness to string these attacking instruments together to create a virtual effect.

To cross, the whole world knows that it is going to be crossed, so let Pinnock brush out the scramble data; To shoot from a long distance, the whole world knows to shoot from a distance, and as a result, the quality of his shot is too correct.

However, heading into the 60-minute period, Ten Hach made the right decision: replace Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount.

Needless to say, too much has already been said, and the former has improved slightly in singles today:

But the performance of the back work has dropped too much compared to last season:

Therefore, based on his own performance, based on the current pressure situation facing the whole team, even if the weekly salary is the highest and the core is added, it can only be regarded as a degenerated tactical player in tactical logic, and it is time to complete the 60-minute attrition task.

So even if Garnacho and Anthony play, it is difficult to play immediately against the back five and back three, and Rashford and Mount should also go down, and there is no causal relationship between the two.

And with fresh power, Brentford will at least look at it twice, press two more steps, and subtly pour a little more space in the middle:

Of course, the most important thing is the appearance of Scott McTominay.

An important element of the midfielder's involvement in the attack is physique, which is the basic set for them to bring the impact of the back insertion, or even stay in the box to form a help for the attack.

Paulinho, Vidal, DePaul, Valverde, all the same.

Have a physique, can maintain the action and effect under close confrontation, the opponent will focus on care, if only can run, then as long as the key moment to destroy the balance is good, not to mention the opponent is all shrunk in the penalty area, where will leave you room to run.

So in the 93rd minute, Scott McTominay equalized:

In addition to Scott McTominay, this ball can also be mentioned.

Garnajo's handling actually formed a very good effect inexplicably, because if it is only a bottom cross, Brentford's defensive pressure will not be great, but under the pressure of the bag and the bottom line, Ghanajo passes the ball out of the inverted triangle, which is Dalot's first shot from the outside is very threatening, creating the basis for chaos in the box.

This is the first time in this game that Manchester United have strung together two attacking methods, a wide cross and a long-range shot from the outside.

As soon as the goal was scored, morale was boosted.

However, a last-minute set-piece in injury time can be transformed into a winning goal, and it must be said that the element of luck cannot be ignored:

Perhaps it was Mrs. Alex Ferguson, who died before the game, who blessed Manchester United, which had once again fallen into desperate situations as in past years.

In the end, Manchester United scored a thrilling victory in this game.

Again, Manchester United in this game had little problem with the starting start and subsequent adjustments, and even performed well. Lindelof plays full-back better than Amrabat, so without adduction, Amrabat and Casemiro form an orthodox double back, pressing forward less intensely, trying to find a balance between pressing opponents and protecting defenders.

The performance in the game was not good, the back line dragged down a lot, but after all, it was the backup back line, and with the poor Casemiro, there was not much the manager could do.

In the adjustment phase, the nodes of Casemiro, Rashford, and Mount are very early and correct; On Martial, no problem; Son McTominay was even more clever and created this victory.

It's all great place.

However, we must mention that the circumstances before and after McTominay made this hand look more like a dead horse as a live horse doctor at the time, and Rashford, who did not perform well in 60 minutes, can he play today, can he play it later?

As for Mason Mount, can he only play the role of "making a hand" in the number 7 shirt, as we said when he joined?

So, everything is still very confusing. We can't tell what conclusions Ten Hag's coaching staff will come to when they review this God's gift, and what impact it will have on tactics after the October international break, will have to wait and see.

After all, in 2018, when Mourinho was out, Manchester United also reversed Juve 2-1, and in 2021, when Sochaux left class, Manchester United also defeated Atalanta 3-2.

But after the October international break, United should be able to welcome some injuries back, which will be good news that Ten Hach would also like to receive beyond winning time.
