One center forward, two midfielders, two center backs!
This is……
reconstruction!
Manchester United needs to rebuild! And it is a direct reconstruction rooted in the skeleton of Ajax and the future Dutch team! This is very different from normal reconstruction.
So no one thought about it at first!
Real Madrid discovered a huge secret!
There are two types of normal reconstruction. One is benign reconstruction and partial renewal, just like the Italian national team where Lu Yang is a member.
Based on the team's original players, first update players in two or three positions.
During this period, the framework was still the old Italian team.
After they adapt, update two or three more players.
Then, update three or five more players.
Small amounts and multiple times.
The advantage is... harmony! Teams and players can gradually adapt to this process.
And during the generation change, the combat effectiveness will not be significantly weakened.
The team's combat effectiveness can be maintained at a high level, but it is difficult to reach a peak, because when the younger ones adapt, the older ones will have to leave, and when the younger ones adapt, the younger ones will become older.
It's hard to say that everyone is at their peak and building a peak team.
And note that the level during the replacement period is higher! rather than the highest.
So there is the second extreme way of reconstruction.
Just knock it down and rebuild! Because the former type of reconstruction requires a harmonious environment and cooperation between the team, senior management, and fans, it is very difficult.
But once most teams fail, they fail completely. Slow rebuilding is equivalent to slow demolition. It is better to start over.
At the same time, although upgrading in one go will lead to a trough in combat power, the advantage is that once the team is formed, it is possible to achieve peak combat power beyond the past.
However, the reconstruction that Manchester United is currently preparing for is the third type.
Just replace the frame! Get a ready-made, youthful frame!
Change the foundation!
But keep the team's strongest players.
That's risky because it means United trust their best players to adapt to the new frame.
You can't ask the skeleton to change his playing style to suit one or two players.
So who will Manchester United keep?
Who will be eliminated?
There is no doubt that the current team's main center, German international Miroslav Stiller.
Because he is the oldest, five years older than Manchester United's current top striker Mike Loughlin!
But will McLoughlin be happy?
Won't!
Because McLoughlin is five or six years older than Aveiro, Manchester United's most favored left winger!
In Manchester United's future planning, Manchester United's starting striker players should be Aveiro and Robin Fan! Once this news is released, it will definitely be a devastating blow to Manchester United at this stage.
Because in fact, Stiller did a pretty good job.
He is good at passing and shooting, and with his height of 1.84 meters, he plays the role of tactical fulcrum. Although his statistics are not eye-catching, he is definitely one of the most important players in Manchester United's frontcourt.
McLoughlin is even more difficult to accept. No top player can accept that when he was at his peak, he was planned as a marginal player or substitute player by the team! Real Madrid released the news at that time.
"Heavyweight!" Manchester United plans to complete the reconstruction in one go in the summer and pack up the five eaglets of Ajax and the Netherlands! 》
"Manchester United plans to dominate the Premier League for the next ten years!" They don't need the old guys anymore! 》
"Robin Van with Aveiro!" Manchester United's future fantasy lineup is revealed! Stiller and Mike Loughlin are not among them? 》
"A major midfield change, Sir Alex Ferguson is dissatisfied with Manchester United's current midfield structure?" 》
"All central defender combinations have been changed!" Can the young Dutch double pillars take on such an important task? 》
For a time, there was a lot of discussion.
Manchester United fans didn't have any objections.
It's a good thing that the team is prepared to spend huge sums of money to buy people.
What's more, the current Dutch Five Little Eagles look good to everyone.
Robin Van and Peterke themselves are no less inferior to Highlander, Menchar, Rumeo and the like.
Together with the other three, the Five Eagles are enough to defeat any current talented combination, after all, they have many people.
Perhaps only Lu Yang + Moliqi back then could surpass the Five Eagles in terms of strength and potential with fewer enemies and more.
But within Manchester United, there was instant turmoil because of this news.
If this is fake news, Manchester United won't have any problem.
The problem is, the players know this is the real news! The club's various practices have caused some players to speculate. Now that the root cause has been found, it is clearer to compare the two.
"I asked why the team honestly renewed the contract after the season and after the World Cup. I thought the team was doing it for my own good!" Stiller complained!
He has never been the top striker, but he is a rare player in football who is "born for the World Cup".
Because among active players, he ranks first in the number of World Cup goals!
Moreover, he once scored five headers in a World Cup and was considered the top header player, even though he was only 1.84 meters tall.
Whenever he plays in the World Cup, Stiller's value is guaranteed to rise, without exception.
Even if he is over thirty now.
Stiller also thought that Manchester United was preparing to give him the last big contract of his career. In order to prevent others in the team from gossiping, he chose to renew after the World Cup.
But he was naive.
Manchester United may...not even think about renewing his contract.
Maybe after the World Cup, what Manchester United has to do is to sell him! How do you want Stiller to train well? By the same token, McLoughlin was furious.
He is the king of Manchester United.
The prince said that he would find a helper for him, and it was Aveiro.
But after Aveiro arrived, Sir Alex paid more attention to Aveiro's careful training than he did to McLoughlin.
Now that Sir Alex is looking for five more little guys, McLoughlin will be really stupid if he can't react.
Instead of pairing me with five mature stars, you pair me with five young people in their growth stage. Are you asking me to be a nanny to take care of them?
In as little as one or two years, or as long as three years, Manchester United may be able to start the next era of dynastic rule! But what did that era have to do with me, Mike Loughlin?
Therefore, in the training match, Stiller and McLoughlin transformed into single dragons and did not pass the ball at all, insisting on proving themselves.
More Aveiro than Aveiro.
Many teammates have the same mentality, so the training games are like a ball of shit.
Finally, Stiller and Mike Loughlin also clashed over the ball.
Also got into a fight.
This is something that has rarely happened before.
After Sir Alex, who was not present due to personal reasons, learned the news, he only urged his assistant to handle the matter and never talked to Stiller and McLoughlin in person.
All his plans were disrupted.
Made!
Originally, according to his idea, Manchester United's combat effectiveness this season would not be affected.
Stiller can still be sold at a good price during the World Cup.
With the money from selling Stiller, I added a little more to buy five eaglets, which was a great pleasure.
As for McLoughlin, it was a done deal by then. He simply said that the club gave him too much and he didn't want Robin Fan. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
Mike Loughlin is a coward. He has a strong physique, excellent skills, and is comparable to top football abilities, but in everyone's mind he is always a little behind the top forwards.
What's bad is the mentality.
This is what Sir Alex Ferguson likes most about Aveiro, he is more ambitious than McLoughlin!
Sir Alex is confident that McLoughlin will accept all this.
However……
Damn Real Madrid!
It must be them!
Shameless stuff! He is already so strong, yet he is still causing trouble outside the court.
The world is in decline! …
April 3rd.
Match day of the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Real Madrid VS Manchester United, Ajax VS Paris Saint-Germain!
The cheers at Old Trafford fell silent as McLoughlin and Stiller emerged with bruises or band-aids on their faces.
"What the media says is true!"
"There was a fight during a Manchester United training match!"
"On the faces of Stiller and McLoughlin..."
"Is it true?"
"Why between the two of them?"
"It's a good thing to strengthen the team. Why is it like this?"
"Alas, Stiller is actually good, but it's a pity that Manchester United needs stronger players!"
Everyone was talking about it.
The picture is slightly funny because of those bruises.
Soon, the game began.
For Real Madrid, Alpha, Lavelan and Rubio started.
Enriquez, Tavares and Barajona were substituted for this.
For Manchester United, left winger Aveiro, center Miroslav Stiller, right forward Wayne McLoughlin.
The core of the midfield is former Roma No. 10 Valera.
Among the central defenders in the backcourt is former Juventus player Turan, and right back O'Shea Neville is the captain of Manchester United and the starting right back of the England national team.
The goalkeeper is former Sanremo player Areola.
Lu Yang and Areola even hugged before the game.
From the beginning of the game, Manchester United showed their determination.
attack!
Manchester United is a team that can create an attacking threat in any situation.
They have a strong team look.
This momentum was maintained until the 27th minute.
Because at this time, something happened on the field.
McLoughlin and Aveiro had a fight! In nearly half an hour, McLoughlin got only a handful of possessions.
He was never a commando.
In fact, McLoughlin said he is a right winger, but in fact he and Stiller are more like a double center.
Stiller is tall and has better foot skills.
McLoughlin is a small steel cannon with a stronger shot.
Two people can be each other's fulcrum, a powerful match.
The ball is mainly provided by left winger Aveiro and right back O'Shea Neville.
Both wings fly together!
Or the two wings are misaligned front and rear. This asymmetric attack makes the tactics very difficult.
But the football flew here and there, but never reached McLoughlin's feet.
Instead, it flew towards Stiller's head! Cross from the wing!
Header to win?
This targeted idea is not very effective for Real Madrid today.
Because Real Madrid's air defense was weak in the past, but it is different now.
In the past, Real Madrid had two central defenders, one 1.86 meters tall and the other 1.84 meters tall. The midfielder Joseph was only 1.74 meters tall.
But now, Rubio is 1.84 meters, Landene is 1.91 meters, and midfielder Lavelan is 1.86 meters.
The average altitude suddenly increased, and air defense was no longer a problem.
And Stiller is only 1.84 meters tall! Moreover, Stiller is not a big center with a strong physical style. He is thinner than McLoughlin, and his confrontation ability is far inferior to any of Rubio, Landene, and Laveland.
He is considered a header expert because of his outstanding performance in the World Cup.
But judging from his physical condition and technical characteristics, it is difficult to say that his heading level is top-notch.
He is a star that is impressed by people.
It’s not necessarily that fame is greater than strength.
But at least there is a huge difference between what everyone thinks he is good at and what he is really good at.
"Why don't you pass the football to me! If you cross the ball while staring at other people's heads, don't blame me for hurting your face!" McLoughlin found Aveiro.
Aveiro also looked unhappy. He usually just takes the ball and does it directly. He doesn't want to make crosses all the time.
In front of Lu Yang, how could Aveiro just be a passer? "What can I do? This is the Lord's order. If you have the ability, go to the Lord!" Aveiro responded verbally.
This immediately angered McLoughlin.
McLoughlin grabbed Aveiro's collar directly: "Say it again, if you dare, say it again!"
Aveiro was completely honest. He didn't even resist and shouted: "If you can, go and yell at Stiller! If you can't beat him, you come to bully me? Fight! If you have the guts, hit me. I won't hit you today." Not a man!"
Manchester United teammates immediately rushed up and separated the two.
Stiller pulled McLoughlin out of good intentions, but McLoughlin opened his hand and said, "Fuck you! Hypocrisy! You are all hypocrites!"
Stiller was in a state of shock during this period: "What the hell are you talking about? Do you know how many of your goals were assisted by me? Do you know how many opportunities I helped you get?"
"With your speed and height, without my help before, how could you become the best player in the Premier League?"
"Yes, now that Aveiro is here, he can create a threat on the wing and help you. You don't need me anymore. But how long do you think you can do this?"
"You will have my day! When Aveiro grows up, it's time for you to strike!"
"Do you really think you are the king of Manchester United? Let me tell you, the future king of Manchester United is Aveiro! The five Dutch eagles are all here to help Aveiro!"
"You know, total offense, total defense? With five or six players attacking the goal, you still need a short, slow center that's 1.78 meters tall?"
"Don't be naive! They are all trying to create space for Aveiro! Manchester United is replicating Barcelona's playing style, team + superhero! Although the scenes are different, the soul is the same."
"Aveiro is the superhero! You damn future replacement!"
"Grass mud horse!" McLoughlin rushed towards Stiller.
Once again, the Manchester United players tried their best to separate them.
One thing to say, the referee next to me will not be able to deal with this.
Does this require a yellow card? In the end, the referee strictly followed the rules and showed a yellow card to Mike Loughlin, who caused continuous conflicts.
There was no cheering sound in the entire Old Trafford stadium.
Everyone was silenced by this conflict.
In the 33rd minute, Manchester United made another cross from the wing.
In fact, this style of play gave Real Madrid many opportunities some time ago.
If it weren't for Manchester United goalkeeper Areola's outstanding performance today, Real Madrid would have scored at least two goals.
But you can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade.
Landene made a header to clear the ball and pushed the football outside the penalty area.
Collett received the ball outside the penalty area and made a long pass, sounding the clarion call for a counterattack.
Lu Yang was in the midfield position, and he just kicked the ball hard when he caught up with it.
No need to look because he knew where the Alpha was.
Alpha also formed a tacit understanding with Lu Yang and made a tentative counter-offside charge.
This kind of running is mostly fearless, and many players will wait until the ball is actually passed from their own midfield before running.
Such as Rashford and so on.
But Alpha is different, he is not afraid of running a lot.
He ran away, the football didn't come, he just came back, and then ran again.
This is why Real Madrid must rotate between two players at the center position this season.
It would be difficult for anyone to play the entire game because there are too many runs that repeatedly fight against the offside line.
This time, Alpha paid off.
Single sword!
boom! Alpha's ability to stop the ball is much better than Areola imagined.
Areola attacks, and as long as Alpha stops the ball smoothly, he can destroy the football.
However, Alpha stopped and shot continuously!
The football flew directly past Areola.
Drill into the goal.
"Beautiful pass and shot! One to zero! Real Madrid takes the lead away from home!"
"This goal is simply amazing. From the time Landene made a header to clear the ball, to Alfa passing the ball and scoring the goal, the whole process did not take more than seven seconds!"
"This is definitely a lightning counterattack!"
"A textbook counterattack!"
"Especially Lu Yang's handling of the midfield position. This long pass is almost like Alpha's telepathy!"
"Manchester United's efficiency is too low by comparison."
"Sanchis cannot guard Aveiro very well, and Junior and O'Shea Neville can only attack each other due to height issues and cannot guard each other."
"Manchester United had more attacking chances than Real Madrid, but failed to create a real threat!"
The blow of losing the ball forced Manchester United to make changes.
Aveiro glanced at the prince and found that the prince also nodded to him.
So in the following time, Aveiro started a lot of cutting inside with the ball.
Full of threats.
Lavelan is almost always on the right, otherwise Sanchis will be beaten.
During Aveiro's time at Sporting Lisbon, dribbling was a bit flashy.
But after two years at Manchester United, after Sir Alex Ferguson's training, his passing movements became more concise and practical.
But his burst and speed were even more powerful than before.
Therefore, his breakthrough threat has almost skyrocketed to the first-class level in football.
If it continues like this, it may not be much worse than Robbery and Mateo.
Of course, the peak period of a breakthrough player who relies on speed and reaction is much shorter than that of a rhythm breakthrough player.
But this is not an issue that Aveiro at this age should consider.
In the 40th minute, Aveiro cut in and hit the goal.
The football slid out of the goal, only twenty centimeters away from the goal! In the 42nd minute, Valera stole the ball in the midfield and drove straight to the left.
Aveiro cut inside without the ball and had physical contact with Rubio in the penalty area.
Aveiro fell down and asked the referee for a penalty kick.
But the referee said it was a flop.
In other words... Aveiro had no control over the football, and there were no hand movements in the confrontation with Rubio, so it was considered a normal physical confrontation, not a foul by Rubio in the penalty area.
Seeing that the first half of the game is coming to an end.
In the 45th minute, Real Madrid launched a wave of pressing.
Manchester United started to pass back.
Turan passed the ball back to Areola, then actively ran and received the ball.
After Lu Yang pressed Turan, he immediately rushed towards Areola.
As a former teammate, Lu Yang knows Areola's habits very well.
Because under Lu Yang's suggestion, Sotu has been training Areola in the direction of a "gatekeeper".
Not as extreme as Neuer, but anyway, Areola's footwork has been emphasized.
After so many years, Areola should have achieved some success in his footwork.
But without showing it off, it would feel like walking at night in brocade clothes.
So this season, Areola will show off his skills from time to time.
Don't tell me, this really won him a lot of popularity and attention.
He is now one of the star goalkeepers in the Premier League and has a bright future.
really!
After receiving the ball, Areola made a pass to Turan on the side.
Normally at this time, Lu Yang would have turned his gun and gone after Tu Lan.
But Lu Yang did not change direction, but accelerated! Areola suddenly became nervous when he realized that Lu Yang was not being swayed.
Damn it!
This riding horse is land!
This is the most reliable left back, center back and defensive midfielder of Sanremo who has ever stood in front of me!
How dare I show off my skills in front of him?
Areola subconsciously wanted to kick the ball.
But to open your feet, you must put some distance between yourself and football.
He chose to kick to the side and then released the ball with his big foot.
But Areola was really nervous.
This kick was much stronger than he expected.
The football went from rolling out half a meter as planned to rolling out one meter.
It seems to have little impact.
But Lu Yang's speed was faster than before.
He used his body to put pressure on Areola from the side before Areola could catch up with the ball.
Areola was pushed out of the bottom line at that time.
Lu Yang caught up with the ball and didn't take it too far. He took a step to the left to open up the shooting space and then took a decisive step.
The football entered the goal from a tight angle on the left side of the goal.
Two to zero! Real Madrid expands the score!
"Oh! Areola made a mistake!"
"Lu Yang steals Areola and scores easily!"
"Arreola shouldn't be playing with fire in front of the goal! Has he forgotten that Lu Yang is the team's steal leader?"
"I just said that Areola's style is too radical. If he continues like this, there will be problems sooner or later. Isn't this a problem?"
"Now the situation is becoming more and more difficult to handle. Returning to the dressing room with a score of 0 to 2, does Sir Alex Manchester have any way to bring the team back to life?"
Areola looked at Lu Yang resentfully after scoring.
Once upon a time, he remembered Lu Yang telling him that even as a goalkeeper, don't worry about conceding the ball. You have to take control when it's time to take control. This allows one more person to come out of the team, which is particularly important.
Co-author: Have you been plotting against me for a long time?
When Lu Yang was celebrating, he saw Areola holding an oil-paper umbrella and looking like a lilac girl, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
do not blame me.
Blame Benzema.
It was him who reminded me that you can get assists directly from the goalkeeper.
Subsequently, the referee signaled for halftime.
The two teams returned to their respective locker rooms.
But not long after, news came from the staff outside that there seemed to be the sound of fighting in the Manchester United locker room!
