Hero of the Penalty Area - v7 Chapter 65
Since the end of the first Champions League quarter-final, Solskjaer has been lost in thought.
Everyone can see that Manchester United’s head coach is not in a high mood.
They don’t know what happened.
But it’s not easy to ask.
For Solskjaer, he did encounter a big problem.
Because after that game, he suddenly found that he was wrong.
He had always believed that his Manchester United could rely on Nacho to regain the throne that he had lost for many years.
But in the first round of the Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool, he suddenly woke him up.
Because he discovered a terrible problem from that game.
That is, Luis Nacho is not as versatile and profitable as he had been before.
He had been cultivating Nacho as a frontman for Manchester United for the next ten years.
It’s just that he suddenly couldn’t get through this road in that game.
In that game, his tactics were set up specifically around Nacho, intending to make full use of Nacho’s personal dribbling skills and speed.
Obviously, Liverpool has also been prepared for a long time, and their defense is very targeted. So their defense against Nacho was very successful.
Although Nacho worked very hard, he still couldn’t score.
Nacho tried almost every way to score goals in the game, but he couldn’t break through Liverpool’s defense.
When Liverpool was hoarding heavy troops in front of the goal, when their defensive movements were tough, Nacho’s body was weak and the shortcomings of short stature were exposed.
Then the biggest problem came out. Nacho was not a natural shooter. He was not a striker at first, and what he was best at was actually not shooting.
The success of this season cannot conceal his own shortcomings.
Of course, Solskjaer can also deceive himself by saying that Nacho is still young. There is still room and space for growth.
And no one will deny this. Nacho is indeed still young, and his performance as a center in his first season is already very good. He definitely has room for improvement in the future.
But the problem is that his height will not increase by tens of centimeters, and his weight will not increase by tens of kilograms. The most important thing is the feeling in front of the door, which is impossible to practice.
This season, Solskjaer has been training Nacho’s ability in this area.
But Nacho made no progress.
This is really a talent, it can’t be practiced…
Solskjaer believes that if Nacho can practice for a few more seasons, his progress will be very limited.
Without a good sense of smell in front of the goal, you can’t be a top shooter.
Manchester United’s current scoring ability is too bad. It is not enough to put the treasure on Nacho, as this match against Liverpool is a proof.
And Nacho is really not a suitable striker… although he can occasionally shine. But Solskjaer needs a stable scoring point. Rather than a player who relies on inspiration to score goals from time to time.
So Nacho seems unlikely to become a striker that Manchester United can rely on for the next ten years.
Of course, it is no problem to be the leader of the next ten years.
The lead has nothing to do with the shooter. It’s not that you have to be the best shooter to be a leader.
And Nacho is really more suitable to be a shadow forward, and you need to put an authentic center in front of him… in order to maximize Nacho’s energy.
The above are all Solskjaer’s own analysis, and it seems that it is very possible at present.
But Solskjaer was not reconciled, and he had to confirm it.
The opponent who did the experiment was Liverpool.
Because only against a strong team can you get a real result. After all, Manchester United is going to face off against the strong team in the future. The target cannot be placed on those weak teams.
This made Solskjaer a little nervous-emotionally speaking, he hoped that he had made a mistake in his judgment. In fact, Nacho can not only be the leader of the team, but also the top scorer of the team. Because since that game, he now likes Nacho this guy more and more.
At the same time, from an economic point of view, it is expensive to buy a good center, and it is not necessarily available.
Except for Chen Yingxiong, there are only a handful of the most famous centers in the world. There is a Quik in Barcelona, but it is certainly impossible for them to come to Manchester United. Barcelona can also tug of war with Real Madrid in La Liga. Everyone takes turns sitting in the village. The Premier League is a tragedy.
Another hot one is the Amoruso in Brazil. But there are too many suitors for Amoruso, and all European giants lined up to pursue him, even Barcelona.
Can Manchester United win those teams?
Solskjaer didn’t know what to say… The Manchester United manager was frowning there, and Liverpool was beaming.
Liverpool knocked back Manchester United with two goals at home, letting the opponent miss a goal. They have already reached the semi-finals with one foot.
The Liverpool players know the goal of the team this season.
This result makes them full of energy.
Those players who have never won the Champions League also thought that they could finally catch the last train. Unexpectedly, in this season when Chen Yingxiong was about to retire, they would still have the opportunity to touch the highest honor of European football…
They were very pessimistic before. It is believed that after the heroes retired, they would become even more out of reach in the Champions League.
With this high spirit of fighting, Liverpool was devastated in the league.
With only half of the main force, Liverpool defeated Birmingham 5-2 in the away game.
The Birmingham local media commented after the match: “…Birmingham did a good job because they scored two goals in the match against Liverpool. I think this is enough to make their fans happy for a week…”
Liverpool is so strong today that many people feel that they can score a goal as a victory.
In this big victory, Chen Yingxiong did not kill, he only scored one goal.
But this is enough for him to continue to widen the gap with Nacho.
Because Nacho did not score a goal in this round of the league.
The entire Manchester United seemed to be in a trough, they failed to come out of the blow to Liverpool in the middle of the week. They lost to Chelsea 1:2 at their home court.
As a result, they fell from second in the league.
As for Liverpool, they have taken their place.
But Solskjaer’s mind is not on this at all now.
For him, how does one season’s performance compare to Manchester United’s ten-year future?
His mind is not on this game at all, and he can’t wait for this game not to play at all. Jump directly to the Champions League next week.
The failure of this game brought him a bit of pressure, but he really didn’t care about that much… the Champions League in midweek came very quickly.
In this game Solskjaer deliberately wanted to prove whether his findings were justified, so he made targeted arrangements tactically.
What he gave the team time was not a defensive counterattack, but a desperate attack.
Choosing to attack at home is normal for Manchester United, who lost the first round with two goals.
At this time, everyone discovered that Solskjaer was deliberately preserving his strength in the league, in order to fight Liverpool to the death in this game.
After all, only two goals behind, there is still a chance.
Against this background, Solskjaer’s choice is understandable.
When the game started and after seeing Manchester United’s play, those who were still criticizing Solskjaer shut up.
Everyone is fighting for this final decisive battle…
But who knows. In the eyes of Solskjaer, the outcome of this game is not important?
Solskjaer’s worry did not tell others. This is not a good thing after all, because I am afraid of causing misunderstandings and making Nacho and his heart rift.
So Manchester United players don’t know this. They think like the outside world, that the head coach is going to fight Liverpool desperately in this game.
As a result, their fighting spirit was high. Be more active in the game. Coupled with the cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of fans at home. The Manchester United players suddenly felt that they could do all miracles…Liverpool had guessed that Manchester United would fight to the death at home, but he did not expect that the momentum that Manchester United would burst out was so amazing.
For a time, Liverpool was forced into a rush by Manchester United.
The danger in front of the goal is constant, as if the ball may be lost at any time.
Solskjaer stood on the sidelines with his fists squeezed, his body tense, staring nervously at the court.
In his opinion, the previous preparations are all in place. Now there is a strong final blow.
If you can continue to put pressure on Liverpool’s goal, the quantitative change causes a qualitative change, you can score.
After breaking the goal, the situation on both sides will change drastically. The morale of Manchester United, which is only one goal behind, is high, and Liverpool is even more at a loss. Manchester United is taking advantage of the situation to cover up. Take advantage of the victory and chase, you can complete the reversal!
Of course. The first prerequisite is to get the first ball.
Focusing on Nacho for him, Nacho, as the center of this game, his only task is to score goals.
In this game Solskjaer changed his tactics in the previous round, not allowing Nacho to withdraw too much to get the ball, and then rushed forward with the ball.
Instead, let Nacho run in the frontcourt to catch up, and then wait for the opportunity to shoot.
This is not what Nacho is good at, but Solskjaer just wants to see if Nacho can be forced out of a Nacho completely different from him in such a desperate situation.
Unfortunately, such a thing did not happen.
Liverpool’s time of panic is actually not short, but Nacho did not seize such an opportunity, he is really not good at grabbing points in front of the goal.
Seeing Nacho repeatedly missed the pass of his teammates and missed the opportunity to shoot-not missed the opportunity to score-Solskjaer shook his head on the sidelines.
It seems that Nacho does not have the talent to be a center. His outstanding performance this season may just be the freshness after changing positions. This can be seen from his performance in the second half of the season.
Although there are still goals. But there are fewer goals, and the effort he has to make to score a goal in the game is extremely large, and every goal is at a loss.
If the team can have a pure center who is good at scoring, then Nacho’s so much effort will be divided into two-thirds to create opportunities, I am afraid that Manchester United will have been in the league for a long time…
Looking at the scene before me, I thought of the possibility.
Solskjaer lowered his head ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and sighed in his heart.
He knows that the results of the experiment have come out… I solemnly recommend to everyone the sad new book “Wanting Annihilation”!
ISBN…Introduction:
Seek the path of longevity, stand on the top of the heavens; create the merits of all generations, and pass on the immortal tradition.
Tan Weiran only asked: What’s the use of longevity, it’s better than silence.
Then, punish all sentient beings, and perish forever!
Sadly, he is a good friend of mine. Of course, his new book must be supported! I also hope that if you like it, you can support it! (To be continued) RQ
