Chapter 793
At the beginning of the second half, Portsmao took the lead and the tactical adjustment was undoubtedly quite successful. This should be the credit of the young coach Gavin. Thinking of the unknown head coach in his previous life, Jing Jian whispered to Pixar: "How is Gavin's performance?"
Although this Gavin is a transitional coach in Jing Jian’s club construction plan, his performance at least needs to be unsatisfactory, especially obedient. Otherwise, it would be quite simple to change one. I believe that many famous European coaches are happy to work under the rich man. At least they don’t have to worry about money to buy their favorite players. By the way, the main reason why Jing Jian agreed to Gavin as the head coach at that time was because he was interested in his ability, but Gavin’s qualifications were quite simple and it should be easy to be obedient.
Pixar was still satisfied with the candidate he recommended: "Gaven worked very hard and his grades were obvious to all. I heard that he worked late at night every day, and even his wife complained a little."
"Oh? Can you tell me what you are doing?" Jing Jian was a little curious.
"It is mainly about studying and watching a lot of videos of the competition. Jia Wen understands his own shortcomings, so through learning, he can make up for his most lacking experience as soon as possible."
Jing Jian nodded, at least his attitude was satisfactory. Pixar could not always say good things about Gavin. He should try to be objective in front of the boss Jing Jian: "Ranieli brought Italian chain defense. Although it is very utilitarian in tactics and mainly uses defensive counterattack tactics, it also won a FA Cup for us. Gavin wanted to change all this. After all, the player procurement plan this time was too sensational. When other teams faced us, not many people dared to attack. Therefore, the key point is to solve the changes in offensive tactics. Our main lineup also has the strength to do this."
"Is there any problem with the idea?"
"First of all, the tactics changed. The team was not used to it at the beginning. Especially in the World Cup year, the newly joined players did not get enough running-in. Moreover, Pixar chose the full attack and defense tactics, and the team's state fluctuated greatly, so at the beginning of the season, they lost more points. However, as the running-in gradually matured, their current results gradually caught up."
"Uh-huh."
It can be imagined that Gavin spent a lot of effort on offensive tactics. The goal at the beginning of the second half also reflected his efforts. Seeing that the score was behind, Ferguson ran to the sidelines and roared at his players. His voice could be vaguely heard in the box. The nickname of "hair dryer" is indeed well-known. Gavin held his hands in his chest, frowned with his eyebrows, as if he was hesitating.
Amid the roar, Manchester United's entire team quickly stabilized. Instead, Portsmouth had a brief disunity in thought. Some players wanted to continue attacking and took the opportunity to expand the score to secure the victory. The other part wanted to strengthen defense and maintain the lead in the score first.
Such inconsistency leads to a disconnection. Although the disconnection is quite weak, the experienced Manchester United player immediately seized it and launched two extremely threatening attacks in just five minutes. Later, in a breakthrough in front of the penalty area, Portsmouth made a tactical foul and got a direct free kick opportunity.
At this time, Gavin felt something was wrong. He loudly commanded the players to strengthen their defense and resisted Manchester United's attack. However, with a wonderful world wave, Manchester United quickly equalized the score amid the booing of the home team fans.
Both sides returned to the same starting line, and the head coaches of both sides took advantage of the midfield to teach the opportunity to the players on the sidelines. Pixar shook his head and commented: "Gavin's on-the-spot command is still a bit immature."
Jing Jian smiled slightly. It was indeed the case. It was just such a small flaw. He was immediately caught by the old fox Ferguson, and in an instant, the situation on the court was reversed.
However, this is also the price that needs to be paid for growth. Today's game was still very good. Jing Jian was about to comfort him, but unexpectedly, the situation on the court changed suddenly. Portsmouth quickly drove the ball. After a long pass of three or two, he made a quick counterattack that he used to be in the previous seasons. After breaking through the cross on the wing, he scored a midfield header from behind.
"Uh?" Jing Jian was also surprised and happy, clapping, and he said to Pixar with a smile, "Although he is young, he grows very quickly."
The audience was in full swing again. The game also became even more popular. The players on both sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and from time to time, players were overturned. Then both sides had several chances to score, but the goalkeepers performed well and kept the shots outside the goal. So, before they knew it, the game entered the second half of 70 minutes.
At this final stage, the head coaches of both sides all dispatched troops and replaced them with substitutes. However, at this moment, Portsmouth's players began to lose their strength frequently, their technical and tactical movements began to deform, and the pass error rate significantly increased.
The audience began to feel heartbroken, and the situation on the field slowly deviated from the visiting Manchester United. Ferguson was very decisive. Seeing this, he immediately used up the last substitution quota and replaced a striker, and played the three striker tactics. This tactic was a miraculous effect. After taking turns to siege, the Manchester United striker took advantage of the chaos in the penalty area and stabbed the ball into the goal with his feet.
Manchester United tied tenaciously again away?
However, at this time, even Jing Jian, the outsider, could see that the entire team of Portsmouth was generally exhausted. The scene became more and more passive, and Manchester United's offensive became more and more fierce. When the game time reached 85 minutes, Manchester United won a corner kick. The ball was opened to the back point, and Manchester United players successfully grabbed the point and broke the goalkeeper's ten-finals.
Pixar was a little embarrassed. At the end of the game, Manchester United actually scored a key goal that was almost final. This seemed to hit Jing Jian's face a little. Instead, Jing Jian remained calm and continued to watch the game with interest. Suddenly, he found that Pixar's face looked a little strange and smiled: "Don't worry, the game is not over yet."
Even so, there may be seven or eight minutes left in the injury time, but anyone with discerning eyes can see that Portsmouth's players can basically not run, and Manchester United retreated to their half. It's not that there is no possibility of equalization, but that this possibility is almost...
