Football: Starting with managing Manchester United

The air pressure in the home team's locker room next door is very low.

Robert Martinez was a little confused, constantly thinking about Clattenburg's calls, wondering if there was any bias involved.

It seems so.

It seems there isn't, it's just a bit stricter.

Valencia was also given a yellow card.

"You know how chaotic the game was today? Don't let their players lead you. Think about what you need to do: mark your man, press forward... don't just go wherever the ball is."

"And where is our ball control? Don't let them pressure you, like a poet."

"We're players, let's play tougher!"

Roberto Martinez wasn't like this before, but there are only a few rounds left in the Premier League.

Every game is crucial.

Manchester United remain their direct rivals in the race for European qualification.

"Last season we were just one spot away from qualifying for the Europa League. Don't think that just because we're five points ahead of Manchester United, we're a big deal. And don't let last season's rubbish repeat itself!"

"In the second half, get the attack going and put the ball in Manchester United's goal!"

Robert Martinez's roar left the Everton players breathless.

But this pressure quickly turned into motivation.

Lukaku slapped his thigh hard. "Pass me the ball later!"

When the second half started, Zhang Yang was still in a 3/7 stance, watching Manchester United attack the midfield, especially drawing fouls from McCarthy and Barkley again.

"These guys are pretty despicable."

Zhang Yang chuckled, "But it suits my taste."

Carrick, in particular, looks thick-browed and big-eyed, but he's actually quite cunning.

He noticed that the defensive intensity in midfield had decreased.

"Increase the intensity! Increase the intensity! Don't just stand there!"

Phil Jones was having a tough time because he's not a traditional full-back and struggles against wingers like Mirallas who excel at dribbling.

Not to mention he also had a yellow card on his back.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yang couldn't sit still any longer and told Smalling to warm up.

There aren't many guards available at home.

Arsenal is among the most notorious for injuries in the Premier League, and Manchester United isn't much better off.

How long has Raphael been injured?

Fortunately, Smalling can also play, so let Carrick cover more of the defense.

When Smalling came on, Zhang Yang patted Phil Jones on the shoulder and said, "Don't overthink it. It's not that you played poorly. A center-back playing as a right-back can be defensively weaker than offensively, which is normal."

Just like Heinze back then.

Phil Jones was in a slightly better mood and hoped that he would be able to play more of his preferred positions under Zhang Yang in the future.

Zhang Yang is already thinking about how to make signings during the summer transfer window.

First of all, full-backs are a necessity, and there aren't many good right-backs in football these days.

Or should we try to poach Chelsea's players?

Bringing Azpilicueta here will probably cost a lot of money.

How is Kyle Walker doing now?

Whoosh! The noise on the field interrupted Zhang Yang's thoughts. Smalling came onto the field and immediately tackled Mirallas.

Great!

No wonder he's the man who elbowed Messi until he vomited blood.

This move, however, angered Everton players, and the two teams huddled together, seemingly about to fight.

"Stop right there!"

Clattenburg remained firm, saying, "Don't you understand the importance of controlling your movements? If you don't want to go down!"

Smalling received a yellow card.

Robert Martinez was still not satisfied and went to the fourth official to file a complaint.

You could tell he was in a hurry.

They were vehemently criticizing Smalling for deserving a red card for showing his studs.

Zhang Yang quietly moved a few steps over, just as Barry and Shinji Kagawa were vying for possession of the ball, which was then cleared and placed in front of him.

Everton's aggressive possession will definitely delay things.

As a result, Barry excitedly rushed over to snatch it, and Zhang Yang subconsciously pulled and pushed him.

"Wow! Zhang! Manchester United manager Zhang used a V-shaped dribble to get past Barry!"

"That was a beautiful move!"

"Haha, look at Roberto Martinez's face. Doesn't he want to punch Zhang? If it were me, I probably would have already done so!"

"This guy's asking for a beating!"

Commentator Carragher immediately perked up.

At Goodison Park, Zhang Yang, facing the referee's cold stare, shrugged and passed the ball to Barry.

By this time, the Manchester United players had already retreated to their defensive positions.

"Fuck you, you son of a bitch!"

"Why didn't the referee send him to the stands? I'm going to kick his ass with my leather shoes!"

"..."

The middle fingers of Everton fans in the stands were as dense as trees in the Amazon rainforest.

Zhang Yang returned to the coach's bench.

The main advantage is that there's a shield on top, so you won't get hit by something.

As for the criticism?

They don't even have a third of the skill of those foul-mouthed guys on Tieba.

It sounds like she's being coquettish.

Zhang Yang crossed his legs, Everton continued their attack, Mirallas was marked, and full-back Baines stepped up.

But Valencia has already shown potential as a full-back.

They managed to defend against Baines.

In the 73rd minute, Roberto Martinez made a substitution, replacing Barkley with Osman.

Osman is not a typical English midfielder.

He excels at ball control and passing, but his long-range shooting isn't as good as Barkley's.

Is this some kind of short-passing, penetrating attack strategy?

However, Lukaku didn't seem to grasp Roberto Martinez's meaning.

He fired two long-range shots from the outside.

The result was similar to Gao Lin's: one kick flew into the stands, and the other was blocked by Vidic.

Two more minutes passed.

Zhang Yang waved his hand.

Evans replaced Ferdinand; the veteran was already a bit tired.

Everton capitalized on this opportunity to win a corner kick, with more than seven players venturing into the Manchester United penalty area, clearly indicating their intention to go all out.

"Got a point! David de Gea!"

"He saved Manchester United!"

Seeing De Gea save McCarthy's header with one hand, Zhang Yang excitedly jumped up from the coach's bench.

It’s too thrilling!

During this period, Everton has gained momentum and their attack has become increasingly sharp.

Zhang Yang decided to bring on another defensive midfielder.

Veteran Fletcher.

"Darren, you definitely know what we need right now, I believe in you!"

Zhang Yang stood beside Fletcher.

This veteran has impeccable professional skills, but unfortunately, his physical abilities are declining.

Three years ago, he was an absolute world-class blue-collar worker and big-game player, having not only developed amazing physical fitness and coverage ability, but also extremely strong tactical discipline.

They can also entangle top commanders like Fabregas and Xavi on the defensive end.

Unfortunately, he suffered from extremely severe ulcerative colitis at the peak of his career.

A sudden drop in weight leads to a significant decline in bodily functions.

He miraculously returned to the competition last year.

It's okay if you can't recapture the dominant, all-out running ability you had in your prime.

Only play for twenty minutes!

"Okay!" Fletcher nodded vigorously.

He doesn't want his career to end like this, so why can't he have a second spring?

He not only needed to win Zhang Yang's trust.

We still need to fight for a future.

Shinji Kagawa was substituted off the field. As he walked to the sidelines, he hugged Zhang Yang tightly, saying, "Thank you, boss!"

"Your pass was the best gift, thank you."

Zhang Yang patted the blond-haired Japanese man on the shoulder.

Then he focused intently on the green field.

With little time remaining in the match, Everton brought on a striker, McGeedy.

Zhang Yang knew him.

If you're a loyal FIFA player, you're probably very familiar with McGee's turn.

Zhang Yang's technique of turning around to get rid of someone is consistently effective.

The creator of this technique is McGeedy.

Robert Martinez is going all out, hoping to use McGeedy's individual ability to break the deadlock.

However, Vidic has a lot of experience in defending against players like this.
