Football: Starting with managing Manchester United

"Can Stones defend against this?"

Commentator Nolan Bach also became nervous.

Stones is a product of Barnsley's youth academy and a representative of center-backs who play with their brains.

He is not good at going up against forwards.

However, Rooney is not the same Rooney as before. If it were that little tank instead, Stones would have no choice but to surrender.

Rooney saw Blackie gritting his teeth and frantically charging forward.

Everyone called him that because he was very dark-skinned. Welbeck suddenly slowed down to avoid crossing the offside line.

Rooney, however, passed the ball directly to the goalkeeper and then quickly moved forward himself.

Stones instinctively turned his head, and Welbeck pushed with the instep of his foot, like a wall, bouncing the ball towards Rooney.

It definitely feels much more comfortable to kick like that.

Rooney dribbled the ball into the penalty area, where only the goalkeeper, Howard, was in front of him.

This guy used to play for Manchester United.

A batch of vegetables.

Rooney has forgotten how many goals he has scored against him.

Rooney's strong confidence allowed him to keep his footing steady, pushing Howard to the bottom left corner, a move that Howard couldn't reach.

Manchester United fans at Goodison Park had their hearts racing.

The pent-up emotions were completely released when I saw the football cross the goal line, like a volcano in its eruption phase.

"Wayne!!!"

Even some nostalgic Everton fans joined in the chant.

Rooney ran to the sidelines in ecstasy, pounding his chest, finally releasing the frustration he had felt under Moyes's management.

"pretty!"

Zhang Yang jumped up from the coach's bench and hugged Chris Woods tightly.

He was nervous too!

His first match in charge of Manchester United, and a crucial one at that.

He had insomnia until 4 a.m. last night, counting sheep for thousands of hours, and he didn't know what time he finally fell asleep.

"See? We scored first! That's crucial!"

Zhang Yang clenched his fist.

Chris Woods was even more excited. From the youth team to the first team, not only was Zhang Yang under a lot of pressure, but as a data and tactics analyst, he was on tenterhooks from the start of the game.

Chris Woods excitedly hugged Zhang Yang, jumping and bouncing so much that he didn't even notice his glasses falling off.

"Calm down, Chris, this is just the beginning."

Zhang Yang patted his old partner on the back, then bent down to pick up his glasses and put them into Chris Woods' hand.

......

"This is absolutely incredible!"

"Manchester United's new interim manager, Zhang, moved Rooney to a deeper position, which in a way freed Rooney up. Now, Everton's former favorite kid has breached their goal!"

Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool legend, sounded a bit sour.

But right.

It would be great if Manchester United could beat Liverpool's city rivals Everton.

The footage showed Rooney shaking the camera, making Manchester United fans feel as if they were experiencing the scene firsthand, and they couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Keep playing like this!"

They were celebrating.

Rooney wasn't the only one who was overwhelmed with excitement.

Then there's Shinji Kagawa, who had wasted most of the season. His mind was filled with his own through ball, and his long-tense face relaxed, revealing a confident smile.

Carrick turned his head to look at the coaching bench and saw Zhang Yang waving at him.

He ran over immediately.

"Michael, we're on the right track. We dominated them in the first half. Tell Wayne I'm giving him the freedom to shoot; one goal isn't his limit!"

Zhang Yang, pressured by the excessive noise at the scene, shouted into Carrick's ear.

"Yes, boss!"

Carrick yelled back.

"Zhang, I can feel the players' confidence returning. Remember our previous UEFA Youth League match? They were constantly being dominated by Real Madrid, but you told them they could do it!"

"Everything changed after that first goal. As long as the players believe in you, you've succeeded in taking that first step!"

Chris Woods is usually quite reserved, but he becomes a chatterbox on the golf course.

Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow and smiled.

However, he didn't celebrate too soon.

The Manchester United spirit is to never give up until the very last moment.

Similarly, don't open champagne at halftime, imitating the Milan big brother.

The game has restarted.

Manchester United were riding high after scoring, and Roberto Martinez frowned, signaling for the midfield to press harder.

We can't let Manchester United continue like this.

There are also two full-backs: Evra is too old, and Phil Jones is only average.

"Everton are trying to break through on the flanks, Baines breaks down the byline and crosses!"

"Ferdinand reacted this time, positioning himself to limit Lukaku, and De Gea caught the ball!"

Seeing this scene.

Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up.

Everton launch many attacks, but few of them actually reach the penalty area.

Can long-range shots from outside the box really threaten De Gea?

Do you think the Thousand-Hand Guanyin is just playing around with you?

If you replaced Barkley with Ballack, it would be more like it.

Everton, realizing their attack was ineffective, gradually found themselves under pressure from Shinji Kagawa.

The Japanese guy was clearly getting into it; the frustration he had felt under Moyes was now being unleashed in a frenzy.

Through balls turned Everton's interior into a battlefield.

McCarthy quickly received a card for tripping Rooney.

Barkley also received a yellow card from the referee for pulling Shinji Kagawa.

Everton were stunned after receiving two yellow cards.

Roberto Martinez pressed his hands down, signaling to the player to stop committing reckless fouls.

Wasn't today's referee, Clattenburg, notoriously blind?

Roberto Martinez was suddenly stunned, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

In a 2005 Manchester United vs. Tottenham match, when Tottenham player Mendes' shot had already crossed the goal line by nearly half a meter before being retrieved, Clattenburg did not acknowledge the goal.

In the Merseyside derby in October 2007, Clattenburg sent off Everton's Hibbert and Phil Neville, and awarded Liverpool two penalties, helping Liverpool to victory.

From then until today.

Clattenburg had just officiated another Everton match.

Robert Martinez quickly looked around, trying to find Sir Alex Ferguson, but he found nothing.

Then look at the coaching bench next door.

Zhang Yang stood there confidently.

The posture was also particularly strange.

One leg straight, the other extended, distributing body weight 30/70.

It inexplicably gives people a very relaxed feeling.

Seemingly noticing Robert Martinez's gaze, Zhang Yang turned his head and waved in a friendly manner.

But the seeds of doubt have already been sown.

The first half ended quickly, with Manchester United leading by one goal.

Zhang Yang was very satisfied with this.

Listening to the applause and cheers from the away fans in the stands.

"Didn't they boo me before the game started?"

Zhang Yang gave a haughty snort.

Back in the locker room, Zhang Yang praised all the players, especially Rooney and Shinji Kagawa.

"Guys, you did a great job. You put what we trained you to use to good use."

"Then the rest is simple, just keep doing it this way."

As Zhang Yang arranged the magnets on the tactics board, he said, "Until the final whistle blows."

He then briefly reviewed the game, adding Chris Woods' data, and pointed out the problems in the first half.

If it were 45 minutes ago, perhaps some people would still have objections.

But now everyone is listening quietly.

Including a few troublemakers.
