author:Bright Net

After a fiasco, the three centre-backs were firmly defended, which was the choice of the national football coach Li Tie after playing the first game of the round of 12, and it was also the response of Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after being defeated by Liverpool 0:5.

In the early morning of October 31, Beijing time, facing Tottenham Hotspur, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's three-centre-back system successfully blocked the combination of Kane and Son Heung-min, and won 3:0 with the goal of "Kapiro".

Learning Li Tie? Survive on three centre-backs

In the last round of the league, Manchester United was pressed to the ground by Liverpool and suffered a 0:5 defeat. After that game, the manager came under unprecedented pressure. He said he was responsible for the loss, and several British media believed he would soon be out of class. However, The United executives ultimately chose to let him continue to lead the team, but will adjust at any time according to the team's results in the next three games.

In the face of huge pressure, Solskjaer chose to compromise, this is the first time in nearly a year that Solskjaer has used three centre-backs, and his change of formation has also activated Ronaldo, which also makes the opponent very uncomfortable. Throughout the game, United gave up possession, only 42% possession, but they shot 10 times on goal and shot 4 times. Under United's strong defence, Tottenham did not shoot a single kick in the whole game.

Gary Neville commented on the coach's change of formation: "Obviously, this is not the tactic he wants to play. For the last 37 games, he's used 4231. However, he had to change. It seems that the new formation adapts well to C Ronaldo, and from a defensive point of view, 352 releases the pressure of C Ronaldo. ”

Manchester United officials also sent support to solskjaer, sending a picture of fans holding up support for Ole in the stands to express the attitude of high-level support for solskjaer. In an interview, the manager, who released the pressure, stressed: "This game is great, we survived. I've been Manchester United manager for 3 years and today I've sent in the oldest squad and it's time to do that. The players are fighting for the club, not for me. ”

"The past week has been difficult for the players, the fans, the club and me personally. We changed tactics. If there are players in The Manchester United squad who can't give their all for the club, he won't get a chance to play. Solskjaer pointed out: "From the first day you came here, you knew you were going to be under pressure. You know where you are, you have to do your job, and of course you have to enjoy it. After four league winless rounds, sols of a long-lost victory he could have had for a short time this weekend.

70-year-old two-gun fantasy connection! Aged version of "Kapiro"

In addition to the three centre-backs, what surprised everyone was the forward combination of C Ronaldo + Cavani. The two veterans did not disappoint Solskjaer, in the first half, C Ronaldo scored a domineering volley; in the second half, C Ronaldo sent a precise straight plug, assisting Cavani to push the goal.

Previously, Solsksha was more willing to give young people a chance, he mainly put Greenwood, Rashford, Sancho and other people next to C Ronaldo, but the effect was not good, these young people were too addicted to personal performances, and the sense of cooperation was relatively poor. In this life-and-death battle, the manager, who has no way to retreat, has finally changed sides, and he has placed the 34-year-old Cavani into the starting lineup, while Greenwood and Sancho have not played.

In the 63rd minute of the game, the United midfielder broke the ball and played a counterattack, B Fee and C Ronaldo made a cooperation, C Ronaldo sent a precise straight ball, and Cavani went to the meeting single-handedly. Facing the goalkeeper, the Uruguayan was very calm, rubbing into the net to extend the score to 2:0.

The ball appeared to be largely the credit of Cristiano Ronaldo, as his straight plug tore through the opponent's defence, but Cavani's run before the goal was equally impressive. As can be seen from the replay footage, Cavani is in a more posterior position when B Fei breaks the ball. However, after B Fei broke the ball, Cavani immediately started and ran forward. By the time Cristiano Ronaldo picked up the ball, Cavani was already on par with the position of the last defender. To avoid offside, he also cleverly moved a few steps to the side, then plunged straight in and got a one-stroke chance.

After the game, the forward combination of "C Ronaldo + Cavani" was also praised by Manchester United fans: "The forward partner of C Ronaldo and Cavani is a dream, the connection of two world-class strikers, wonderful, wonderful! Some fans also joked that this is an aging version of the "Cardairo" combination. Originally, "Cappello" was a combination of Brazilian stars Kaka and C Ronaldo, who had played together at Real Madrid.

England star Rhine kerr praised Ronaldo and Cavani in a personal social media post, writing: "Manchester United's 70-year-old striker duo is showing how to score goals, who said that relying on the old guy can not win anything? ”

After seeing the efficiency of Ronaldo and Cavani, some Red Devils fans said that they should be paired to start every game. But I have to say that C Ronaldo and Cavani are older, the age of the two people is 70 years old, and it is impossible to start the game. However, when the team needs help, these two people can definitely play a bigger role!
