Coach, I want to play football!

Martial's goal gave Manchester United hope. Although the season is coming to an end, every next point is crucial for Manchester United who want to compete for fourth place and qualify for the Champions League next season. .

Initially, they hope to get three points today at the King Power Stadium.After being scored twice by Ye Qi, I became more realistic, thinking that an equalizer and a point would be good.

But now after Martial scored, Manchester United's thinking has changed again...

It seems like we can counterattack and get three points?

After all, there is still time, and they can clearly feel that Leicester City's defense is not as strong as before.

After all, Inler and Drinkwater have to rush up and kick from time to time, unlike before, Brother Drinkwater and Kanter were barely able to defend in the middle line!

Under such circumstances, Van Gaal began to have ideas.

In the 601st minute, he began to make his second substitution.

Depay, the younger Dutchman who performed relatively average today, was replaced, and the veteran winger Valencia came on.

In addition, Professor Young and Ashley Young were also warming up on the sidelines to see if there would be a chance to play next.

Perhaps affected by Martial's goal, Leicester City began to retreat and reorganize the defense.

In particular, Inler and Drinkwater began to play less frequently than in the first half.

If the two sides were attacking back and forth before, now it has returned to the mainstream rhythm of Manchester United attacking while Leicester City retreats to defend.

It is worth mentioning that such a change of pace was not actually an order issued by Ranieri.Although he stood up from the coaching bench and came to the sideline after Martial scored, he did not make any tactical adjustments.

Just like he told the players to play freely at halftime, he gave the players a lot of freedom in this game.

During this period, although the striker headed by Ye Qi launched two counterattacks, they did not score a goal, although they threatened goalkeeper De Gea.

But after conceding two goals in a row today, the Spanish goalkeeper felt a bit shameful and courageous, and started to perform well!

Ye Qi's threatening kick was caught by De Gea again. He looked at De Gea and felt that this guy had the feeling of a lion waking up.

Manchester United's offense was very active, and even two counterattacks by Leicester did not allow them to retreat to defend.

Among them, Schweinsteiger and Herrera took turns to intervene, and Herrera directly stepped in from behind. Schweinsteiger was responsible for receiving and defending in the midfield, which is the so-called transition between offense and defense.

Seeing that Leicester City's defense is crumbling, it just doesn't fall.

At this time, coach Van Gaal plans to give it a try!

No. 705 minutes, veteran Ashley Young, Professor Young came on as a substitute.But what was replaced was not the offensive player in the frontcourt, but left back Luke Shaw!

Zhan Jun: "Huh? It's interesting. Is this a change of formation?"

Following Martial, he moved to the center to partner with Rooney as a double center, leaving the wing completely to Ashley Young and Valencia, a pair of veterans.

Zhang Hehe thought for a few seconds and said, "Are you planning to use the 352 formation?"

At this time, the 352 formation is not yet mainstream in the Premier League. The mainstream is 433, 4231 or the traditional 442.

So after seeing Van Gaal's change of formation, Zhan Jun and Zhang Hehe were a little surprised.

Zhan Jun: "It seems that Ashley Young and Valencia are playing wing-backs on both sides, and Blind is playing as the third central defender as a guest?"

"But...is this defense reliable?"

The cooperation of two Spanish technical midfielders, Mata and Herrera, penetrated Leicester City's midfield and backcourt, and followed Herrera to send the ball into the penalty area.

Rooney, who followed up, got the ball before Huth, and then hit the goal directly with a kick!

But fortunately, Schmeichel was highly focused and saved the ball with a side dive.

Martial in the penalty area grabbed the ball before Morgan, but he had no chance to shoot, so he immediately gave the ball to Ashley Young who came up on this side.

Ashley Young glanced inside the penalty area. Just when Simpson thought he was going to lob the ball directly to Rooney or Mata who came up from behind, Ashley Young made a fake move and immediately dribbled the ball down.

Then the ball was passed high, but instead of looking for Martial, Rooney and others in the penalty area, it was given to the ribs on the other side.

Valencia followed up, stopped the ball, and then took a shot before Drinkwater came up!

But the ball was slightly higher and went over the crossbar.

"Fuck!" Valencia cursed, and then gave a thumbs up to his old partner Professor Young at the far end.

Zhan Jun: "Manchester United's adjusted offense has indeed had quite an effect."

Zhang Hehe nodded, "Yes, it was mainly due to Ashley Young and Valencia's late penetration that caught Leicester City's defense off guard."

"In the past, players like Luke Shaw would come in from deep and participate in the attack, but they were certainly not as threatening as Ashley Young, who was a winger."

"Because the two wings of Ashley Young and Valencia, apart from passing the ball, the biggest threat is shooting. With Rooney and Martial outflanking the center, it is easy to ignore the opponent's full-backs and press them near the penalty area to hit the goal."

There are advantages and disadvantages to doing so.

The advantage has just been seen, but the disadvantage is that there is a relatively large space behind the wing.

However, because there are three central defenders, Rojo and Blind on both sides will also distance themselves in defense to take care of the wing defense.

In addition, Bastian Schweinsteiger is positioned deeper and can also help with defense.

After Valencia's kick went over the crossbar, Ranieri also began to make substitutions, two in a row.

However, they were all match-up substitutions, with Amartey replacing captain Morgan and Matt James replacing Inler.

Matt James's appearances this season are very limited. It can be said that he is the player with the lowest number of appearances in the midfield.

No, veteran Raymond has even less.The main reason is that the 32-year-old Raymond was injured before and was directly reimbursed for the season...

Ye Qi looked at the two new players and understood what coach Ranieri was thinking.Although it seems to be an increase in defense, the main reason is actually that the physical fitness of the old captain Morgan has declined a bit. For the sake of safety, the old captain is allowed to rest more.

The meaning of replacing Matt James is very simple. Manchester United seems to be blasting from the wings during this period, but in fact it has something to do with the strong support in the middle.

Although James is a versatile midfielder, he is more defensive.

So Ranieri's intention is still to defend and give everyone freedom, but he should be careful to prevent even Bastian Schweinsteiger from getting in the opponent's center.

Ye Qi, who understood this, pointed to the wing towards Mahrez and Dyer.

"With such a big space behind the opponent's wing, what else are you thinking about? It wouldn't be a waste if you don't press forward and charge!"
