Manchester United 0-0 Leeds United, the first warm-up was good and bad, the whole team was making meritorious, the main players were sluggish

Manchester United's first warm-up match of the new season was arranged by Rose Derby's opponent Leeds United. Both sides scored weakly, and both sides had a good chance to score, but the result was 0-0. Although it was a warm-up match, the intensity of the game was the intensity of the Premier League. The first half was a physical confrontation flow, and there were some rhythm changes and offensive routines at the beginning of the second half, but there were still many problems.

After drawing this game, Manchester United will set off for the United States, and Mbeumo will also go to the United States to meet. At that time, I hope Manchester United will show a different mental outlook. Because after winning the worst Manchester United in Premier League history, the whole Manchester United team should have a sense of avenging themselves instead of playing lazily. The nature of the match: This is really not a warm-up match

I'm afraid many people have forgotten the meaning of the Rose Derby. The Rose Derby has never been a warm-up match. Leeds United has just been promoted to the Premier League, and it is still a summer window. They need to use a Premier League game to test the strength of their lineup. For Manchester United, I can only summarize it in one sentence from Kong Jie in "Bright Sword": "The whole team, from Amorin, is all committed to making meritorious contributions. If you don't fight a tough battle, you can't make a comeback."

Manchester United will fight alone next season, and Manchester United's current lineup is slightly bloated. So, you can think this is a warm-up match, and I accept this statement, but for Manchester United players, the main position competition has begun. Whoever plays the Premier League, who plays the FA Cup and the League Cup is in these warm-up matches.

So, you can take the warm-up game and other things, but for Manchester United players, this is the time to show your attitude towards the game and your idea of competing for the main players. The battle between Doorgu vs. Diego Leon has seen the signs, and they are all working very hard. So, what about the competition in other positions?

Two sets of lineups: The candidates for each position have been determined

Mr. United shot 8 times in the first half and 11 times in the second half and 3 times in the second half. There was a hit to the goal frame once in the first and second half. In fact, Manchester United has stronger offensive ability and desire to attack in the second half, but the defensive pressure brought by pressing up on the offense is also obvious, because Leeds United shot 0 in the first half and 4 shots in the second half and 3 shots in the right half, which is an excellent opportunity.

In the first half, Manchester United used B Fee + Collier's double 8 position; Cunya + Chido Obi's double forward configuration; Diego Leon + Amade Diallo's wingback, the defense was handed over to Mazravi + De Rigt + Lukesha, and the midfielder was given to Casemiro.

So what about the counter substitution in the second half? Hoylen and Chido Obi rotated centers; Mount rotated with Cunia, Mantato (the future is Mbeoumo) competed with Collier for the start; Ugat competed with Casemiro for the midfielder, Doorgu vs Diego Leon's left wingback, Diallo vs Dalot's right wingback, and the competition for the central defender's position is even more intense.

Match content: The old problem still exists

The core problem of Manchester United is how to control the ball in the frontcourt and how to hit the ball into the penalty area. This problem still exists. 48% of the passes in this game were spent in the third quarter of the midfield, and 34% of the defensive third quarter of Leeds United. What does this mean? It means that most of the games were spent in Leeds United's halftime, but Manchester United couldn't score a goal with 19 shots in the game, but Leeds United's counterattack was exciting.

449 accurate passes, 125 times occurred in Leeds United's defensive third zone, but only 45 times in the penalty area. Leeds United has only successfully passed 64 times in Manchester United's defense third zone, and the number of times they hit Manchester United's penalty area reached 33 times. Look at the proportion of times they hit the penalty area. Is the proportion very different? The answer is simple, because it is difficult for Manchester United to pass the ball into the penalty area, let alone complete the shot in the penalty area. Most of the 19 shots came from the penalty spot to the nearest penalty area line, or the shooting angles on both sides were very biased. The number of shots in the second half was more than in the first half. The core problem was that Mount's running without the ball was involved and that Maynu's control of the ball was better, at least it was more stable than B Fee + Collier's rhythm in the first half. The problem was that the defense line was still very serious in the face of counterattack.

Player performance: The main lineup is actually a bit scattered

If there are more main players in the first half, then the first half is a bit careless. On the contrary, most substitutes need to compete for their positions in the second half and need to prove themselves, so they performed better in the second half. There are several players who need to give special attention:

Yoro: He is very suitable for playing the role of a three-center-back. He is very good at diagonal offense and is also very suitable for converting play. His forward insertion is very effective. Suddenly, he can easily break the opponent's high position, attract more defensive players, and allow those who run in series in the frontcourt to get more ball rights. However, Yoro's one-on-one defense is still not stable enough.

Ugat: As Amorin's old player, why was he taken back to the main position by Casemiro? The answer is that Ugat does not have the positional sense of Casemiro. His performance in the second half was actually good, with 4 long passes and 3 successful 5 confrontations and 4 successful 4.

Dorgu: Diego Leon started, which gave him a lot of excitement, so he started to collide with his physical fitness and got three shots, but his small skills do have various problems.

B Fee: As Manchester United's captain, he is the undisputed starter. However, there are problems with his current sense of rhythm.

Dallot: If Dalot becomes a substitute in the new season, I would not be surprised, because Dalot is too used to standing in the inside, and he is prone to conceding the ball in the inside. Leeds United's excellent counterattack opportunity was formed by Dalot's handling of the ball..

mount: As a substitute, he is qualified. With Menu holding the ball behind him, Hoylun and Mantato running in front of him, he can get a lot of space between the two lines. He is a pure team player. The better the team performs, the better he is.

Menu: It looks a bit like a debut season. Perhaps he has returned to his familiar role as a back midfielder and retreating to get the ball. He should be positioned as a dirty ball, rather than the front midfielder who everyone thinks is, because everyone in the frontcourt can't hold the ball.

Game summary: In fact, Manchester United really lacks a midfielder who controls the overall situation. This game is actually very obvious. Manchester United lacks a role that controls the overall situation. Maynu's ball control + Mount's running position + B-fee pass can be combined into a role, but Manchester United does not have such a role, so the reason why it is difficult for Manchester United to enter the penalty area is because Manchester United's pace is too slow. Every time you advance to the frontcourt, the opponent's defense is in place. You obviously have a chance to get a fast attack.

The one who can quickly hit the ball occasionally, but because the frontcourt handles the ball too casually, he lost the ball rights. Let’s see how Mbeumo + Cunia is positioned.
