After winning the 30th round of the Premier League and consolidating their position in the standings, Manchester United rushed back to Greater Manchester. However, this time they did not take a holiday, but plunged into the Carrington training base to start special training before the English FA Cup final.
At the Carrington training base, Manchester United players started special training before the English FA Cup final. The sun shines on the green field, as if injecting infinite vitality into this land full of fighting spirit.
As the captain, David De Gea took the lead in standing up to boost morale. His firm eyes swept across each teammate, and his voice was steady and powerful: "Brothers, the victory in the 30th round of the Premier League is just a new starting point. In the FA Cup final, we have to fight for honor and let the world see the strength of Manchester United!" The players nodded one after another, their eyes full of fighting spirit.
On the first day, physical fitness enhancement kicked off the special training.
Endurance training is the basis of physical fitness enhancement. Defenders such as Theo Fernandez, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, and Ruben Dias were the first to step onto the long track. They were running at a steady pace, with steady and powerful steps and even and rhythmic breathing. Every swing of the arm and every step forward were testing their perseverance. As time went on, the coach gave an order and they quickly switched to interval running. After a short high-speed sprint, there was a short rest, and so on. Sweat soaked their training clothes, and their hair was tightly stuck to their foreheads by sweat, but their eyes were always firm, without any intention of retreating. Harry Maguire, as the backbone of the defense, encouraged his teammates loudly while running: "Hold on, brothers! Endurance is the key to our defense in the final." Ruben Dias also gritted his teeth and tried to keep up with everyone's rhythm. He knew that in a long game, only with strong endurance can he make key defenses at critical moments.
Speed training allows players to run on the track like cheetahs. Ashraf Hakimi and Diogo Dalot, two speedy full-backs, became the focus of speed training. They were sprinting, bursting out from a standstill and rushing forward like an arrow from a string. The wind whistled past their ears, and their figures were so fast that it was dazzling. In the shuttle run training, they turned quickly and changed directions agilely, showing excellent reaction speed and body coordination. The coach kept reminding them to pay attention to the starting posture, acceleration rhythm and turning skills. They knew that in the game, speed can not only allow them to return to defense quickly when defending, but also assist in attacking and create more opportunities for the team.
Strength training is also indispensable. Defenders such as Ferland Mendy and Joshko Gvardiol performed various equipment training in the strength training area. They squatted, with heavy barbells pressing on their shoulders, but they stood up again and again with their strong leg strength. Every squat and stand up, they exercised their lower limb strength, laying a solid foundation for confrontation in the game. In bench press training, they push the barbell up with all their strength to exercise their upper limb strength. Strong arms and broad chests allow them to better withstand the impact of opponents when defending. Core strength training is also crucial. They perform plank support, side plank support and other training. A stable core allows them to better maintain body balance and make more accurate movements during the game.
In addition to traditional endurance, speed and strength training, the players also carried out some special physical training projects. For example, in obstacle running training, they need to cross various obstacles, such as hurdles and poles, which not only tests their speed and agility, but also exercises their reaction ability. In mountain running training, they run on undulating hillsides, challenging their cardiopulmonary function and leg strength. This training method not only increases the difficulty and fun of training, but also allows players to exercise their adaptability in different terrains.
In the process of physical training, the players encourage and support each other. When a teammate feels tired during training, other teammates will run over to pat him on the shoulder and give him words of encouragement. "Come on, brother! Let's stick together." Such words kept ringing on the training ground, making every player feel the power of the team. The coaches also kept an eye on the players' status and adjusted the training plan in time according to their performance to ensure that every player could get the most out of the training.
While strengthening the physical training, passing training was also going on intensively.
On the short pass training ground, the players were divided into groups to practice fast and accurate short passes. They were skilled at their feet and their passes were accurate and perfect.Wrong. Jude Bellingham and Scott McTominay were in the same group. They kept passing the ball to each other, looking for the best time and strength to pass the ball. Jesse Lingard and Marco Verratti were on the side coaching the young players, teaching them the skills and experience of short passes.
"Pay attention to the movement of your feet, and pass the ball quickly and accurately." Jesse Lingard said loudly. The young players listened carefully and kept adjusting their movements. Their passes became more and more fluent, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.
On the long pass training ground, the players stood in different positions and practiced long passes over long distances. Bruno Fernandes showed his excellent long pass ability, and his pass accurately found his teammates in the distance. Marco Verratti was not to be outdone, and his long passes were also very accurate and powerful.
"Keep an eye on the target, adjust your pace, and pass the ball hard." Assistant coach Scholes coached the players on the side. The players practiced seriously, striving to do their best with every pass. Their long pass skills are constantly improving, laying a solid foundation for the offense in the game.
On the straight and diagonal pass training ground, the players practiced passing in a simulated game scene. According to the instructions of coach Scholes, they made quick judgments and passed the ball straight or diagonally to their teammates. Dani Olmo performed well in the training, and his straight and diagonal passes were always able to find the running routes of his teammates just right.
"Observe the position of teammates and predict their actions in advance, so that you can pass threatening balls." Dani Olmo said to his teammates around him. They exchanged experiences with each other and improved their passing skills together.
In the afternoon, the attack training of the side and the middle began.
Head coach Mourinho arranged a simulated game scene on the training ground, and the players were divided into two groups to compete. Ashraf Hakimi and Diogo Dalot, as full-backs, frequently inserted assists. They used their speed and skills to break through the opponent's defense and then pass the ball to the forward in the penalty area. Forwards such as Cody Gakpo and Erling Haaland actively rushed to the penalty area to find opportunities to shoot.
As the core of the midfield, Bruno Fernandes played an important role in the combined attack between the wing and the center. He constantly organized the attack and accurately distributed the ball to the feet of the full-backs and forwards. Marco Verratti and Aurelian Chuameni also actively participated in the attack in the midfield. Their passing and running created more offensive opportunities for the team.
"Pay attention to the running position, open up space, and create passing opportunities for teammates." Bruno Fernandes loudly directed his teammates. The players followed his instructions and constantly adjusted their positions to find the best time to attack.
In the tactical training of the full-backs' quick counterattack, Ashraf Hakimi and Diogo Dalot once again became the focus. After successfully defending, they quickly passed the ball to the midfielders and then advanced at high speed. Midfielders such as Bruno Fernandes and Dani Olmo quickly pushed the ball forward, using the speed advantage of the full-backs to launch a quick counterattack.
Forwards such as Marcus Rashford and Erling Haaland showed their speed and shooting ability in the quick counterattack. After receiving the pass from the midfielder, they quickly broke through the opponent's defense and then calmly shot and scored.
"Be fast, pass accurately, and shoot decisively." Head coach Mourinho kept reminding the players on the side. They implemented the tactics seriously and continuously improved the efficiency of quick counterattacks.
The first day of training ended in a tense and fulfilling atmosphere. Although the players were exhausted, their eyes were full of desire for victory.
On the second day, regional defense tactics training and set-piece defense training began.
Head coach Mourinho divided different areas on the training ground, and the players conducted regional defense training according to their positions. Defenders such as Theo Fernandez and Raphael Varane kept a close eye on the movements of the opponent's players in their own defensive areas, actively pressing and interfering. Harry Maguire, as the core of the defense, constantly directed his teammates' defensive positions.
"Pay attention to your defensive position and don't lose it easily." Harry Maguire said loudly. The defenders listened to his command carefully and cooperated closely to form a solid defense line.
In the set-piece defense training, the players conducted special defense training for corner kicks and free kicks. As the captain, David De Gea directed his teammates' defensive positions in front of the goal. Tall defenders such as Ruben Dias and Ferland Mendy were responsible for competing for headers in the penalty area to stop the opponent's attack.
"Pay attention to the opponent's running position,Don't let them grab the spot easily. "David De Gea reminded his teammates loudly. The players defended with full concentration and constantly adjusted their positions to ensure that there were no mistakes in the set-piece defense.
In the afternoon, the set-piece attack training and corner kick attack training began.
In the set-piece attack training, Bruno Fernandes, Dani Olmo and other players showed their excellent footwork. In the free kick training, they constantly tried different shooting angles and strengths to find the best attacking opportunities.
"Pay attention to the opponent's defensive position and choose the right shooting angle." Head coach Mourinho instructed the players on the side. They thought seriously and constantly adjusted their shooting methods.
In the corner kick attack training, tall defenders such as Harry Maguire and Ruben Dias actively grabbed points in the penalty area and looked for shooting opportunities. Forwards such as Cody Gakpo and Erling Haaland also moved flexibly in the penalty area to create space for themselves to shoot.
"Pay attention to the timing of the movement, and start suddenly when the opponent's defensive players are not paying attention. "Harry Maguire said to his teammates. They cooperated with each other and kept looking for the best time to attack.
In the team cooperation and communication training, the players were divided into groups to carry out a series of team activities. They improved the team's tacit understanding by passing the ball to each other and cooperating with each other. At the same time, they also actively communicated in training and conveyed information in time to better implement tactics.
"Everyone should communicate more and remind each other so that we can better play the power of the team." David De Gea constantly emphasized the importance of communication in training. The players listened carefully to his opinions and actively communicated with their teammates.
Finally, psychological training became the focus of the second day's training.
The coach invited a professional psychological counselor to conduct psychological training for the players. The counselor helped the players improve their psychological quality and stress resistance through a series of psychological tests and training activities. As the captain, David De Gea played an important role in psychological training. He constantly encouraged his teammates to keep a positive attitude.
