"The goddess of victory really doesn't care for me."
When Di Maria scored, West Brom head coach Clarke lowered his head.
"I thought that Chen Huan should be restrained to death, and my tactics can almost be considered successful, but... But why did Di Maria suddenly erupt!
"It's not that this Argentine can't fit into the Manchester United squad anymore! Isn't it Manchester United's biggest signing in the last five years?
Countless voices roared in Clark's heart, but his expression was still very calm.
But this is also the gap between the big teams and the middle and lower reaches of the team.
There are too many good players in the big teams, so when you focus on limiting the best of this group of players, it is bound to show some gaps in the other defenses.
Today, Clark's tactic is to defend Chen Huan to the death, and his requirement for his players is to defend without taboos.
If necessary, you can even get a tactical foul - the kind that directly takes the yellow card.
Clarke's scheme almost succeeded, but he missed Di Maria, who was not included in United's starting line-up.
But think about it from another angle, if Clark had asked his players not to defend Chen Huan with high pressure before the game, but to treat Manchester United players equally, perhaps their defense would have been pierced by Chen Huan.
"Although Chen Huan's performance was a little sluggish today, fortunately Di Maria was in very good shape today, scoring two goals in a row in a few minutes, which is really beautiful. There are so many good players in Manchester United. Xiao Zhan praised.
Director Zhang also added with a smile: "When I often say 'champion phase' to my fans and friends, people ask me what is Mr. Zhang's champion phase? Manchester United today is a standard championship team. In Chen Huan was limited by these players in West Brom, but their offensive system has not been too seriously affected, there are still other players who can stand up at this time to help the team, without the overall collapse because one or two players are limited or play poorly, which requires the championship phase, of course, Chelsea is also a team with a championship look, we will not talk about it here. "
On the pitch, the mood of the West Brom players was noticeably low.
They desperately tried to limit Chen Huan in the way of the head coach, but the team was still led by the opponent, and it was led by two goals by the opponent in a short period of time.
At the moment, even if Clark, the team's meritorious coach, applauded vigorously on the sidelines to boost morale, nothing good has changed.
It is also one of the Premier League's famous "home stadiums" of Old Trafford.
In the stands, thousands of Manchester United fans were singing to cheer for the United team, and when West Brom's players made mistakes in handling the ball, they would shout "boo" to them.
While physically Manchester United fans can't influence them, on a mental level, Manchester United fans clearly give their home team an advantage.
In this case, West Brom was snatched by a Manchester United player when he was in possession of the ball in midfield.
Manchester United took advantage of this and launched a quick counter-attack, culminating in a low-quality shot from inside the box by Robin van Persie.
The football was kicked directly by Van Persie and flew over the crossbar and straight into the stands behind the goal.
As West Brom's players had just wiped off their startled cold sweat, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
"The first half is over, it's a really good game. Although the West Brom team is weaker, the game is not one-sided, especially before Di Maria plays, the West Brom team still played a counterattack or two. Xiao Zhan said.
"Yes, what I remember most is Bellahino's shot after a long-distance run," as Zhang began to play Bellahino's run on the TV screen, "We can see that this time several of West Brom's attacking players are all pressed up, and Manchester United's defense is obviously not in place." In this case, Bellahino got up and volleyed, in fact, you can see here De Gea is obviously too late to save, that is, he is too pursuing the angle of the shot, and finally slides out of the goal.
"That's right." Xiao Jen answered: "Although the value of one Di Maria in the Manchester United team is similar to the sum of the entire West Brom team, before Di Maria plays, this game is actually not determined. But today, Di Maria, who has been out of the field for a long time, missed a hand for us as soon as he came on, what is called a top winger, and directly shot with two feet.
Director Zhang followed with a smile: "The game is not over yet, and anything may happen in the second half of 45 minutes."
"That's right, hahaha."
......
Away dressing room at Old Trafford.
The atmosphere in the West Brom dressing room was somewhat gloomy, and although no one loudly expressed dissatisfaction among the players, everyone had frustration written on their faces.
"Snap! Syllable! Syllable! Applause
followed the sound of leather shoes knocking on the ground, and the players looked up and followed the sound.
Clark, the team's meritorious coach, walked in, and the man who started his way through the West Brom Academy to the head coach didn't have any displeasure on his face.
"Boys, you've done a great job." Clark laughed, "Hey, don't take the small loss of the first half to heart. "
The players felt very awkward when they heard this.
The team's captain, Orr, spoke: "Boss, now is not the time for jokes.
"No, I'm not kidding you guys." Clark shook his head, "In the first half, you did fully realize my tactical arrangement, that is, freezing Chen Huan, the attacking core of Manchester United. And the team's backwardness is a matter of my tactics and I didn't think about it thoroughly, so I apologize to everyone. Clark
actually bowed to the players, but who dares to actually watch the manager bow to them?
Olsson and the assistant coach immediately helped Clark.
"Head, please don't say that, we are ashamed." Bellahino spoke.
"Yes." Others fit in.
It was clear that Clark wanted to take the blame for the team's backwardness on himself and let the rest of the team's players not worry about the burden.
"Okay, but promise us that after the second half we all give it our all."
