The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

With the end of the half-time break, the players returned to the field, their eyes full of expectations for the second half of the game. I believe that in the second half of the game, both sides will bring us more exciting moments.

Because there is no limit on the number of substitutions in this game, in order to prepare for the game against Dortmund two days later, Manchester United coach Mourinho made a large-scale lineup change. Christian Romero, Nico Williams, Josh Gvardiol, Ruben Dias, Diogo Dalot, Dani Olmo, Bruno Fernandez, Jamal Musiala, Rodrigo Hernandez, Marcus Rashford, Cody Gakpo and other players all appeared on the field, and the team formation also changed from 4-3-3 to a combination of 4-4-2 and 3-4-3.

When the team focuses on defense: Nico Williams returns to the left back position, forming a four-back defense system with Josh Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and Diogo Dalot, Jamal Musiala retreats from the attacking midfielder to the central midfielder position, and builds a central midfield defense line with Rodrigo Hernandez, Dani Olmo is in the left midfielder, Bruno Fernandes is the right forward, Marcus Rashford and Cody Gakpo on the front line are both fast and strong fast horse players who can play defensive counterattacks;

When the team focuses on offense: On the forward line, Jamal Musiala advances and serves as a false nine player, Marcus Rashford and Cody Gakpo go to the left and right respectively to give Jamal Musiala the ball. Ciara has enough attacks;

In the midfield, Dani Olmo retreated to the middle and played as the left central midfielder, and built the team's midfield steals and attack-defense conversion system with Rodrigo Hernandez. Bruno Fernandez played as the right front midfielder, and delivered shells from the right to the forward line; at the same time, using Nico Williams' strong personal attacking ability and abundant physical strength on both ends of the left side, he played as the left front midfielder and left winger, that is, launching an attack from the left to deliver shells to the forward line, and after the forward players tore open the opponent's defensive lineup, he could directly dribble into the penalty area; after Nico Williams advanced, Joshko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and Diogo Dalot's overall defense line slightly moved to the left to fill in the position, building a three-center-back defense system.

Schalke 04 head coach Domenico Tedesco also did not rush to rotate the starting lineup for the purpose of training the main lineup.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United took the lead in attacking. Dani Olmo received the ball in the midfield and used his flexible dribbling skills to dribble past two Schalke 04 midfielders Sebastian Rudy and Daniel Caligiuri. He passed the ball to Bruno Fernandes, who made a fine pass to the feet of striker Marcus Rashford. Marcus Rashford started like a cheetah and rushed towards the goal of Schalke 04. The defenders of Schalke 04 immediately shrank their defense line, and Ronaldo Aparecido Rodriguez stuck to Marcus Rashford to try to stop his breakthrough. Marcus Rashford tried a shot on the edge of the penalty area, and the ball was firmly held by Schalke 04 goalkeeper Ralf Fellmann.

Schalke 04 was not to be outdone and launched a counterattack in the 50th minute. Midfielder Sebastian Rudy passed the ball to midfielder Amine Arit, who played a one-two with striker Mark Uth and successfully broke through Manchester United's midfield defense. However, Manchester United defender Josh Gvardiol made up for the position in time and blocked Mark Uth's shooting route with his body. Mark Uth's shot was blocked out of the baseline and Schalke 04 got a corner kick.

After the corner kick, Mattia Nastasic grabbed a header, but unfortunately the ball went off the mark and did not pose a threat to Manchester United's goal.

In the 55th minute of the game, Manchester United's midfield core Bruno Fernandes was fouled by a Schalke 04 player at the front of the penalty area, and Manchester United got a free kick in an excellent position. Bruno Fernandes took the penalty kick himself and kicked a curved ball that went around the wall and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Schalke 04 goalkeeper Ralf Fellmann reacted quickly, jumped high and lifted the ball over the crossbar.

Manchester United launched another fierce attack in the 60th minute. Rodrigo Hernandez sent a long pass from the midfield, and striker Cody Gakpo rushed forward at high speed and stopped the ball with his chest. Cody Gakpo faced Schalke 04.Benjamin Stamboly, the defender of Schalke 04, used a feint to shake off his opponent and then shot in the penalty area. The ball went in! Manchester United broke the deadlock and led Schalke 04 3:2.

After the goal, Manchester United's morale was even higher, and the players were more active in attacking on the field. In the 65th minute, Marcus Rashford broke through on the right and made a cross, but the ball was cleared out of the penalty area by Schalke 04 defender Ronaldo Aparecido Rodriguez. However, Dani Olmo on the periphery grabbed the ball and shot directly from a distance, but the ball was saved by Schalke 04 goalkeeper Ralf Fehrmann.

Schalke 04 launched a desperate counterattack in the 70th minute. Midfielder Abdul Rahman Baba broke through on the wing and passed the ball to striker Mark Uth. Mark Uth showed his outstanding personal ability. He got rid of the defense of two Manchester United defenders, Yosko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias, in the penalty area, and then calmly shot. The ball went in! Schalke 04 tied the score, 3:3.

In the following game, both sides had opportunities to change the score. Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United sent another threatening pass in the 75th minute, but Marcus Rashford's shot was saved by Schalke 04 goalkeeper Ralf Fellmann.

Schalke 04 also had a good chance in the 80th minute. Amine Arit shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

As the game time passed, the physical strength of the players on both sides declined, but they still ran and fought hard on the field. However, Schalke 04's defense was also very tenacious, and they did not give Manchester United too many opportunities. Finally, the game ended with each team scoring one goal in the second half, and the total score was 3:3.

Two goals scored by both teams in the second half:

In the process of Manchester United's goal, Rodrigo Hernandez's long pass played a key role. He accurately judged Cody Gakpo's running position and sent a perfect pass. Cody Gakpo's stop, escape and shoot were done in one go. His fake moves were very realistic, successfully deceiving the defensive players and finally scoring the ball.

In the process of Schalke 04's goal, Abdul Rahman Baba's breakthrough and pass created opportunities for Mark Uth. Mark Uth's performance in the penalty area was perfect. Facing the double-team defense of Manchester United's defenders, he was still able to handle the ball calmly. His escape was clean and neat, and the strength and angle of the shot were very well controlled.

This internal teaching match fully demonstrated the strength of the two teams and the fighting spirit of the players. Both Manchester United's offensive coordination and Schalke 04's counterattack tactics left a deep impression. The superb skills and tenacious fighting spirit shown by the players on the court made this game exciting. The score of 3:3, which was full of tacit understanding, not only brought a wonderful football experience to the families of Schalke 04 players and Schalke 04 premium members watching the game on the sidelines, but also achieved the goal of practicing the lineup and formation, which was a happy ending.

When the fans saw the captain coming, cheers and shouts came one after another. The children jumped up and down excitedly, waving Schalke 04 flags and homemade placards. Fehrman bent down slightly and began to sign autographs for the young fans in the front row. He carefully wrote his name on every jersey and every poster, as if writing a promise to the fans.

The children listened with relish, and their eyes were shining with yearning. He signed his name on a little boy's football and specially wrote a word of encouragement: "Chase your football dream and never give up."

Amine Arit showed his affinity. He walked up to an old fan with gray hair and shook the old man's hand affectionately. The old fan was so excited that he trembled a little. He said, "Arit, your football skills are great. I come to watch you play in every game." Arit's eyes were moved. He said, "Thank you very much for your support. It means a lot to me." Then, he took a photo with the old fan, and a happy smile bloomed on the old man's face.

Benjamin Stanboli on the back line was also asked to take a photo by several young fans. Stanboli cooperated very well. He posed in various handsome poses and made the children laugh. He also squatted down and exchanged football skills with the children. He said seriously: "If you want to play a good defender, you must have keen observation and decisive judgment." The children listened very carefully and nodded frequently. Ronaldo Aparecido Rodriguez signed autographs for the fans while telling them about his experience in defense in the game.
