The namesake of the Red Devils mascot may be a supreme honor for most fans, while for Brazilian star Fred, the pressure once overwhelmed him.
Fred, the man guardiola fancied, with a big stroke of Woodward's pen, forcibly stuffed him into the then-manager Jose Mourinho, snatching away Manchester City's favorite person and giving Woodward a sense of accomplishment in his heart, just as he snatched Sanchez from Manchester City's mouth.
Fred's debut season at Manchester United, after two managers, no one has been able to unleash his potential, 25 games, 1 goal and 2 assists can not even reach the passing line, he also naturally became one of the worst transfers in Manchester United history.
When the hands of the clock were set in December 2019, fans suddenly found that Fred was becoming the core player of United's midfield. After more than a year of long adaptation, the Red Devil mascot finally opened up its second vein.
The Brazilian, who has been in the doldrums at Manchester United for more than a season, has always maintained an optimistic and positive attitude, he is like the Mascot of the Red Devils, hoping to bring happiness to Manchester United fans, and his nickname in the Manchester United team is "Pastor". Because Fred saw God as his big brother, he was grateful to God. So, it's natural to mention the title of "pastor."
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > from fragrant food to scorned by thousands of people, to fight for honor</h1>
Fred, whose full name is Frederico Rodríguez de Paula Santos, debuted in the Brazilian international academy, made his first-team debut at the age of 19 at The International, and made 30 appearances in his debut season. The following year, Fred moved to the Ukrainian miners Donetsk for 15 million euros. His performances in his first season were impressive, scoring two goals in 23 games to help the team win the Ukrainian Premier League, while he won three league titles with the team in five seasons in Ukraine.
In the summer of 2018, Manchester City and Manchester United fought fiercely for him, and although Fred was not yet able to gain a foothold in the Brazilian national team, he finally switched to Manchester United for a high price of 52 million pounds. But he has not been the first choice in Mourinho's mind, and such a forced player will not win the trust of the manager.
Fred, who is only 1.69 meters tall, although he cannot enter Mourinho's eyes, his image in Guardiola's mind is brilliant and tall. However, in January 2018, Fred and Manchester United began to have ambiguous rumors, which made Pep Guardiola very dissatisfied, at this point, Manchester City chose to abandon the introduction of Fred, for Fred, joining Manchester City is not a good choice, after all, joining Manchester United can ensure a stable playing time.
For United, since the departure of Scholes and Carrick, the team has no core players in midfield, and Fred seems to have everything to become a star midfielder of Manchester United. But he's not the perfect replacement for Carrick, although he can also deliver wonderful passes.
Carrick is a traditional English midfield organiser whose vision and movement in midfield help United move forward and solidify their defence when attacking and defending. Fred, on the other hand, favors technical players, although when he debuts on the English stage, he often inexplicably stops the ball or loses the ball.
Because fred's frequent mistakes and sluggish performances, in addition to causing the outside world to question whether he is a Brazilian, indirectly also put the manager under great pressure, when Fred got a lot of playing time, Solskjaer was even called Fred's daddy.
In the 19/20 season, Fred also lost his main position due to his continued poor performances, and in the early league, Pogba and McTominay became the main double backs under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.com. At one point, there were rumors that Matic, who wanted to leave the team for Inter Milan in the summer window, was in the front of fred in the back.
It was not until the 8th round of the league that Fred made his debut for Manchester United in the new season. What he never expected was that Fred, who seemed to have lost solskjaer's trust, gradually found a sense of playing in the few playing hours after Pogba and Nemanja Matic were injured.
Over time, Fred, who can attack and defend, stands out in the back position, and fans have issued articles to apologize to him for scolding him before. His position at the back seems unassailable, he is more willing to take on the dirty and tiring work of the team than Pogba, and his excellent ability to get rid of it and his calm dribbling ability are gradually revealed.
In the three phases of offense, defense and conversion, Fred became a vital part of the team. He's more direct than Pogba on the defensive end and doesn't drag water on the offensive end. Pogba, who has spent most of the season recuperating from injuries, seems to be able to return, and his previous iron-clad starting position will not be easy for Fred to hand over.
Fans can recall when solskjaer last claimed that Pogba was the core of Manchester United, and pogba, who has always been arrogant, had to honestly clip his tail and be a man because of Fred's take-off.
Fred's shift began with his simplification of handling the ball, in the Premier League, unlike in the Ukrainian Premier League. The competition between the teams is very fast-paced, the physical confrontation and tactical quality are extremely demanding, and learning to give up control has made him play like a fish now.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Fred is good or not, and the data doesn't lie</h1>
As a player who is not the manager's idea of building the team, Fred's debut at Manchester United can get a stable playing time thanks to the support of the club's executive vice president Woodward. But the team needed to talk about the results, Mourinho eventually left the class because of the poor record, but fred was in his debut season at Manchester United, and the team decided not to resell him as a new signing.
How to stay and capture Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's heart became Fred's top priority. Fred is very clever, and since he can't find a feeling in the technical style of play he is proud of, he takes on more dirty work at the back.
More involvement in defense was the first step in Fred's success in gaining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's trust. Abandoning healthy football and speeding up the rhythm of the team's offensive and defensive conversions also played out the advantages of Fred's skills at his feet.
McTominay, who partnered him at the back, was not a pure back player, although the youngster's fighting spirit was beyond doubt, but the shortcomings were still very obvious, and Fred's play was crucial under the premise of not being able to complete the midfield defensive sweeping task.
Fred's coverage of the pitch is second to none in The Manchester United midfield, and he is now in United's attacking and defensive system, which is the first link in midfield defense and the first link in attacking in midfield. As can be seen from the picture above, Lingard had a hard time defending Jorginho alone, and Fred was very alert to follow Jorginho, and finally helped Lingard complete the defensive task.
It is far from enough to win Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's trust with a positive and excellent defense, combing the offensive line in the attack, maximizing the ability to play the ball, and matching his excellent running ability, which is the key to impressing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The above picture fully reflects Fred's strong midfielder's ability to get rid of the ball, Fred uses his skillful foot skills to control the ball in the defensive and offensive link, quickly get out of the ball after getting rid of the defenders, and buy a lot of time for Manchester United's attack, and can play a wave of rapid counterattack when the opponent's defense is unstable.
Fred's ability to pass has been proven in many of the Premier League's strongest teams. When B Fee had not yet joined the team, Fred was the most critical player in the attack and defense of Manchester United's midfield, and it could even be said that there was no one. Sometimes he even took on the offensive responsibility of the double emperor company in the forward position.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > continue to strengthen Fred, and a world-class B2B midfielder will be born</h1>
In order to continue the 4-2-3-1 formation that Manchester United is familiar with, Fred must occupy a back position, although he can play a certain strength in this position, but the position that really suits him should be a little earlier, and being a midfield B2B player is the most suitable position for him.
When B-Fee joined the team and Nemanja Matic glowed a second spring, Fred's position didn't have to be too high and too low. He could find a more balanced position between B Fee and Nemanja Matic.
His change can be seen from his running heat map against Watford and Chelsea, when playing against Watford, Fred's position is either high or low, and the depth position at the back is the hot spot for his activities, while unlike Chelsea, his position is more balanced.
Fred has made 39 appearances for United this season, contributing 2 goals and 4 assists, and his performance has gotten better and better, from the worst signing in team history to the biggest surprise now, it has taken more than a year. After two coaches, when Solskjaer also abandoned him, he successfully completed the counterattack during the team's crisis of human shortage, and when the fog hanging over Old Trafford gradually lifted, Fred had become the absolute core of United's midfield.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end</h1>
United have always lacked a suitable midfielder, Nemanja Matic and McTominay lack mobility, Pogba is more suited to move in the front of the waist, and Pereira is not a qualified midfielder at all, he is a spare tire in the spare tire. Fred's appearance, he can be a good front and backcourt perfect connection.
Speed, strength, positive fighting and a positive and optimistic attitude allow Fred to stand out among the midfielders. Judging by Fred's performances, he bears striking resemblance to Chelsea's N'Golo Kante. Since he does not have the ability to defend individually under absolute superiority, his position is between the 8th and 6th.
Fred is a traditional team player who doesn't play pogba pompously and moves forward in a low profile, allowing him to overtake in the corner in The Manchester United midfield. With the same name as the Manchester United mascot, pressure and glory will coexist.
