“Everyone stabilize, try to kick the ball after the ball is broken in the backcourt, reduce unnecessary dribbling, give the ball to Su Yao more, and other offensive players quickly insert forward, must be resolute.”

After conceding the goal, James Garner, the captain of the team, applauded while loudly repeating the manager’s tactics to his teammates.

Kick off again.

Manchester United, which temporarily stabilized the army’s heart, took the initiative to recycle the formation and attract the opposing formation to press forward.

Su Yao received passes from his teammates the first two times, but he didn’t find a good line to get the ball.

Since his possession value is currently only 62 and the ground pass value is only 59, there is no advantage in the youth league, Su Yao chose to pass the ball without too good opportunities after receiving the ball, and moved the ball to a safe area as soon as possible.

“Su Yao just hasn’t got the opportunity yet, and when the opportunity comes, I believe he will shine…”

Mourinho on the side looked at Su Yao’s basic passing skills and shook his head, and McKenna had to explain it to Su Yao.

This time, Su Yao received a pass from the captain’s backer James Garner, and just wanted to continue to pass back to Garner, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that the team’s center Mason Greenwood had instantly started.

Su Yao did not hesitate at all, did not give the opposing defenders a chance, and directly swung his legs in place to send a long pass over the top.

Mason Greenwood took the ball and quickly smashed into the box from the left flank, singling out the opposing centre-backs who came to fill in the position.

Greenwood’s shot doesn’t need to be crossed.

Take the ball two steps to the right, flash a small gap and shoot straight to the corner!

“1:1。”

In the 18th minute, just 10 minutes after Derby’s goal, United equalised with a Su Yao assist Mason Greenwood.

Although Greenwood’s individual ability accounted for most of the credit for this goal-scoring process, Su Yao’s fast passing and accurate landing still left a deep impression on Mourinho.

“It seems that this kid really has something.”

The game continues.

Manchester United’s Under-18 situation has not improved because of Greenwood’s goal, and it is still relatively passive, and can only continue to adhere to the defensive counter-attacking style of play.

Su Yao then continued to send two high-quality long passes, but unfortunately the player who received the ball was destroyed by the opposing defender twice because of the improper handling of the suspension.

In the 45th minute, the first half was about to end, and Derby County Under-18 midfielder Matthews suddenly fired a cold arrow after winning the ball near the top of the arc in the penalty area.

The ball was played fairly and with little power, and it didn’t seem to be much of a threat.

At this moment, a kick stretched out in the restricted area as if to break the siege.

As a result, the ball seemed to kick and bounced in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper’s save.

“1:2。”

Manchester United Under-18s are again behind.

The two teams of players looked at the unlucky egg who scored an own goal, and it turned out to be Ethan Laird, who had previously committed a foul…

——————

Intermission.

Manchester United U18 dressing room.

The goal conceded before the end of the field left everyone with their heads down and a little disappointed.

“I’m sorry everyone, it’s me…”

“Ethan.” Coach McKenna directly interrupted his self-blame.

‘Everyone has to remember that you’re wearing the Manchester United red shirt.’

“Losing is not terrible, mistakes are not terrible, the scary thing is that you have lost your desire to win!”

“The scary thing is that I don’t believe in myself anymore, I don’t have the confidence to win!”

‘We are Manchester United, we have the best passers in the youth league and the best strikers.

“In the second half of the game, Su Yao you moved closer to the back position, all the defenders gave the ball to Su Yao as soon as possible, James you ran more positions in the back position to give Su Yao a protective response.”

“As long as other offensive players see Su Yao take the ball, they will directly rush forward, believe Su Yao, he will definitely pass the ball to your feet!”

The second half of the game begins!

The manager did not replace Ethan Laird, who made two mistakes in the first half, because he knew that if he was replaced at half-time, it would further destroy his already badly damaged confidence.

For young players of this age, self-confidence is often the most important condition for growing into a good player.

Derby’s U18 attack continued unabated, but after the adaptation of the first half and the encouragement of the midfield coach, Manchester United’s U18 defense gradually stabilized, and the defensive counterattack began to play well.

Mourinho on the sidelines found that Su Yao, who he focused on, was almost always kicking the ball.

In addition to the return pass, which will choose short passes, forward passes, without exception, are long passes with big feet, and the accuracy is scary, and they can land exactly above or in front of the attacking player every time.

“It seems that Su Yao not only has excellent passing footwork, but also has a very smart brain, knows how to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, and reduce physical contact with the opponent with the ball.”

Just as Mourinho commented on Su Yao, Manchester United Under-18 defender Laird made a successful one-on-one defense, cut off the opponent’s football, and saw that Su Yao, who was unguarded on the wing, passed directly.

“Hey, hey, you guys run slowly!”

Before Su Yao received the ball, he saw that center Greenwood, forward Levitt, and right winger Gomez had rushed out.

Greenwood, who is in the best position, is about to rush over his head into the offside position.

Su Yao knew that when he stopped the ball and then turned around to pass the ball, it was definitely too late.

So, he decided to use the fastest way.

Let the ball turn.

When the football rolled in front of him, he kicked the middle and lower part of the football with the outside instep.

The football with a strong arc fell right in front of Greenwood with impartiality.

Greenwood did not waste Su Yao’s pass this time, unloaded the ball steadily, faced the attacking goalkeeper, and easily broke through the gate of Derby County U18 with a pick!

“2:2。”

Manchester United equalised again!
