What ball king, call me ball god

September 9, Brighton.

The American Express Community Stadium, which can accommodate more than 3 people, was empty today.

Brighton, a team that has shown great strength in the Premier League, has a record of one win and one loss in the first two games.They showed tenacity and tenacity against strong opponents, but also exposed some problems in some games.Now, they will usher in the first two games, a 9-goal victory and a 7-goal victory over their opponent Manchester United.This is undoubtedly a very challenging game for Brighton.

Facing Manchester United's extremely ferocious attack, Brighton's coach Porter naturally thought hard and thought hard, constantly imagining countermeasures in his mind.He paced back and forth in the command room, one possible formation and tactical arrangement after another flashing through his mind.Together with his coaching staff, he carefully studied the possibilities and tried to find the most appropriate way to respond.

After careful consideration, Porter finally decided to form a 343 formation.This decision was not taken lightly but was made after weighing various factors.Although Brighton also played three central defenders in the first two games, the opponents they faced in those two games had a completely different style and strength from today's Manchester United.In order to better deal with Manchester United's strong attack power, Porter decided to change to a 343 formation today.

This decision undoubtedly requires courage.After all, at a critical moment in the league, changing the formation may bring unknown risks.But Porter believes that only by boldly trying will it be possible to find a breakthrough in this game.

Therefore, after the game started, Brighton, which changed to a 343 formation, was also ready to attack.

This made Lin Kedi on the court feel a little strange. In the last game, Crystal Palace tried to attack the opening, but we were defeated by us. Why do you still dare to attack the opening?

Do you think you can challenge Manchester United just because you played a 343-[-]-[-] formation?
In fact it is negative.

In the 17th minute of the game, the Brighton wing-back stepped forward and wanted to pass the ball, but Perisic, who started the game, successfully intercepted the ball.

Then Perisic looked up and found Link in front of Brighton's defense, so he passed a long pass.

Brighton's central defender and Lin Kedi jumped up at the same time, and the two scrambled for the ball. In the end, Lin Kedi was superior and got the ball.

Then, before the ball hit the ground, Lin Kedi swung his right leg and fired a fierce volley.

A shot from nowhere hit the dead center of the ball.

1:0.

Link helped Manchester United open the scoring for the fourth time this season!

This is also Lin Kedi’s 10th league goal this season.

"Lin Kedi scored his 10th league goal. It's really incredible! The league has only started 3 games, and Lin Kedi has already scored 10 goals! Lin Kedi's status this season It’s even more exciting than last season!” Zhan Jun said excitedly.

Brighton didn't just start setting up the bus just because they lost the ball, but instead actively increased their offensive intensity.

For a while, it actually created an opportunity.

It's just that in the 25th minute, the chance created by the Brighton winger was deflected too far by their center.

Wasted opportunities will be punished. Brighton don't get many opportunities in a game, and now this opportunity was wasted so easily.

Just 5 minutes after this opportunity, Manchester United once again passed the half-time. Linke broke through from the wing and made an inverted triangle pass. Rashford, who switched positions with Linke, appeared on the left side of the center arc. From the side position, I saw Rashford facing the ball and pushing the ball.

The ball went into the net, 2-0.

With a 2-goal lead, Manchester United played very calmly, which suddenly made Brighton energetic.

Ten Hag's eyes turned involuntarily to Brighton coach Porter on the other side.He commented on Mitchell: "Brighton's head coach obviously has some real talent. The 343 formation he played is very unique in offense."

Ten Hag began to explain in detail: "When attacking, the two wingers will move into a position slightly behind the center and intersect with the two wing-backs to form a two-line attack. These two wing-backs are very active. He plays the role of a winger forward to create offensive width for the team. The two defensive midfielders will retreat significantly to form a tight M-shaped position with the three central defenders behind them."

With admiration shining in his eyes, he continued: "This position is very three-dimensional on both the defensive and offensive ends. It can be said that Brighton's tactics are quite good. Of course, there are also some problems. Some players don't seem to be very good. To adapt to this kind of tactics, perhaps the ability is not up to the requirements. However, their current execution is already quite good."

Ten Hag's tone was slightly serious, and he continued: "During half-time, they have successfully launched two attacks. Of course, their forward finishing ability needs to be improved. But overall, Brighton's tactics Very threatening." Ten Hag obviously appreciates this tactic very much.

In the following time, Manchester United always controlled the rhythm on the court, but Brighton could also often play some offense.

The scores between the two sides did not change significantly.

Until the 76th minute of the second half.

Lin Kedi broke into the penalty area and was directly pushed down by his opponent from behind. The yellow dot package was served.

Faced with this easy penalty kick opportunity, Lin Kedi scored in one stroke, 3-0.

Lin Kedi scored twice.

But that's not all.

Just 3 minutes after the goal, Link received a long pass from Thomas, half-turned to stop the ball and led the ball in one go, and then shot low, penetrating Brighton's goal for the third time.

4-0, Lin Kedi scored a hat trick.

"Since the start of the new season, Lin Kedi has shown unstoppable form in just four games. He first scored twice in a game, and then scored a solo goal in a game. Winning five dollars is amazing. In the last game, he even completed the feat of four goals, and in this game, he scored a hat trick. Lin Kedi's scoring ability and state are undoubtedly unstoppable . In these four games, Lin Kedi has scored an astonishing 14 goals. This kind of scoring efficiency is simply terrifying. Manchester United's offensive ability is also amazing. It seems that this year's Manchester United is still invincible. No one can stop it. Whether it is from the perspective of individual performance or overall team performance, Manchester United has shown impressive strength and dominance. Of course, football games are not a simple numbers game, and the outcome of a game is not just a matter of numbers. Depends on the number of goals scored. However, Lin Kedi's outstanding performance and Manchester United's offensive strength undoubtedly brought great pressure to the opponent. In this highly competitive football world, Manchester United continues to maintain its dominance with their strength and dominance. It is unstoppable." Zhan Jun said excitedly.

After the game, Lin Kedi was interviewed by Sky Sports on the sidelines.

Henry and Richards stood on the sidelines.

Although the two of them were wearing masks, it was a bit strange that I wasn't wearing one.

However, Lin Kedi quickly found a new mask from the staff, opened it and put it on.

Then the three of them stood together, and Lin Kedi accepted this sideline interview.

Henry first asked: "Lin, I always praise you and praise you, but your performance in these four games so far this season has been really good. You have scored 4 goals in 14 games. With 5 assists, you basically accounted for more than 80% of Manchester United's goals. Did you ever think before the start of the season that your number of goals would be so crazy?"

"Actually, I didn't think about it at first, because this season is actually only a few days away from last season's Champions League final. Basically, the Community Shield game started less than 10 days apart. In fact, before that , I felt a little tired, maybe it was psychological fatigue, but when I came on as a substitute in the Community Shield Cup, I found that the tired feeling completely disappeared. I played very actively and seriously in that game. I performed pretty well, and then due to the addition of new players, our overall improvement was obvious without changing our playing style. Of course, the opponents in these three games were not the traditional strong ones, so maybe they were not very good. Obviously, but in the next game, we will go to the European Super Cup. Due to the compressed schedule this season, double matches a week are very common, so I think physical fitness may be a relatively big shortcoming for us. After all, We should be the team with the least rest in Europe!”

Richards immediately asked questions about Lin Kedi's words.

"Manchester United has won five championship trophies this year. If Manchester United defeats Villarreal in the European Super Cup in a few days, you will become the first team in the history of England to win six championships. ! So what I want to ask you is, are you confident about this?"

"Of course, of course we are confident. Our goal this year has not changed since we won the Champions League, which is to win seven crowns. The European Super Cup is the penultimate trophy this year, and there is also the Club World Cup at the end of the year. So. I am of course confident about this European Super Cup match. I am confident that Manchester United can win against any team."
