The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

On the defensive end, Harry Maguire, as the backbone of the defense, showed strong dominance in corner kick defense. His tall body is like a solid fortress, standing firmly in the penalty area. When the opponent is about to take a corner kick, Harry Maguire quickly observes the running positions of the offensive players and directs his teammates to take defensive positions. His eyes are firm and focused, and he does not miss any place where threats may appear. After the corner kick, Harry Maguire always appears in the most critical position at the first time with his excellent sense of position and predictive ability. He jumped high and used his header advantage to clear the ball, resolving crises again and again.

Raphael Varane showed his calmness and composure. In the corner kick defense, he always maintains a high degree of vigilance and pays close attention to the movement of the ball and the movements of the opposing players. Raphael Varane's defensive movements are neat and tidy. He is good at using his speed and agility to make up and block in time. When the offensive players tried to receive the ball and shoot, Raphael Varane was always able to quickly appear in front of the opponent and block the opponent's shooting angle with his body.

Ruben Dias also played an important role in the corner kick defense. He has excellent defensive awareness and can accurately judge the opponent's offensive intentions. Ruben Dias's position in the penalty area is very reasonable. He can always interfere with the opponent's receiving players in time, making it impossible for the opponent to complete the offensive cooperation smoothly.

Although young, Joshko Gvardiol also showed maturity beyond his age in corner kick defense. He actively participated in defense and injected new vitality into the team's back line with his vitality and fighting spirit. Joshko Gvardiol was very brave in defense. He was not afraid of physical confrontation with the opponent's players and was always able to block the opponent's offensive route with his body.

On the offensive end, Edinson Cavani showed his experience and wisdom in the corner kick attack. He is good at observing the position of the opponent's defensive players and looking for the best offensive opportunities. Edinson Cavani is very flexible in the penalty area, and he can always appear in the weak link of the opponent's defense. When the corner kick is issued, Edinson Cavani relies on his keen sense of smell to quickly rush to the landing point of the ball.

Erling Haaland is like a ferocious beast, showing his strong strength in the corner kick attack. His tall body and amazing explosive power make the opponent's defensive players daunting. Haaland has a strong presence in the penalty area. He can always attract the attention of multiple defensive players of the opponent and create more offensive space for his teammates. When the corner kick is issued, Erling Haaland always poses a huge threat to the opponent's goal with his height advantage and heading ability.

Romelu Lukaku also played an important role in the corner kick attack. His strength and technology make him a sharp weapon for the team's offense. Romelu Lukaku has a very strong ability to grab points in the penalty area, and he can always grab the landing point of the ball surrounded by the opponent's defensive players. Especially in a corner kick attack, Romelu Lukaku relied on his strong body to squeeze out the close defense of Harry Maguire in the defense group, and then used a clever header to ferry, creating a shooting opportunity for his teammates, which made the head coach Mourinho on the sidelines brighten up and nodded constantly. His active participation and outstanding performance added more possibilities for the team's offense.

In this corner kick defense and offensive tactical drill, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Ruben Dias, Joshko Gvardiol, Edinson Cavani, Erling Haaland, Romelu Lukaku and others fully utilized their advantages and showed their important role in corner kick offense and defense.

Mourinho nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines: "Very good, everyone should continue to maintain this level of concentration. Corner kicks are an important means for us to create scoring opportunities, and they are also a key link in our defense."

Of course, the drills of set-piece offense and defense and other tactics should not be underestimated.

Head coach Mourinho also knows that set-pieces can often play a decisive role in the game. He gathered the players together and explained the tactical requirements of set pieces in detail.

"In set-piece attacks, we must choose the appropriate attack method according to the opponent's defensive formation. We can create scoring opportunities through direct shooting, passing and other methods." Mourinho said, "When defending, we must pay attention to the opponent's running position and interfere and block in time."

The players listened carefully to the head coach's explanation, and their hearts were full of desire for victory. During the drill, the players carried out many set-piece attack and defense exercises according to the coach's arrangement..

Marco Verratti, Rodrigo Hernandez, and Bruno Fernandez are the players designated by head coach Mourinho to take free kicks. They first practiced direct free kicks under the leadership of assistant coach Scholes.

Assistant coach Scholes stood in the center of the field, his eyes revealing rigor and concentration. His figure was like a steady lighthouse, guiding the players in the direction of progress. This assistant coach, who was born as a legendary star, knew the key role of free kicks in the game, and he was determined to fully tap the potential of these three players.

Marco Verratti took the lead in standing at the front of the penalty area. He squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the goal in front of him, as if he was outlining the flight trajectory of the ball in his mind. Marco Verratti's posture was elegant and calm, his footwork was delicate and silky, and every move was full of artistic sense. When he was about to take the free kick, the air around him seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. Marco Verratti gently swung his calf and kicked the ball out with just the right amount of force. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew into the upper right corner of the goal before goalkeeper Christian Romero could react. Marco Verratti's accuracy and control were amazing.

Then, Rodrigo Hernandez took a firm step to the set-piece. His eyes were burning with fighting spirit, and he exuded a calm and powerful aura. Rodrigo Hernandez's legs were full of strength. He was good at using his physical advantages to perfectly combine strength and skills. He took a deep breath and kicked it hard. The ball whizzed towards the goal like a cannonball, and the speed was amazing. Unfortunately, the ball hit the post and bounced out. Seeing that the ball did not go in, Rodrigo Hernandez unconsciously stuck out his tongue in the direction of assistant coach Scholes.

Finally, Bruno Fernandez made his final appearance. His face was filled with a confident smile, and his eyes revealed a domineering look. He carefully observed the goal and the defensive players' positions, then calmly ran up and kicked the ball. The ball spun in the air, as if it was endowed with magic, and flew accurately to the dead corner of the goal. Although this ball was saved by goalkeeper Christian Romero, Bruno Fernandes's skills and creativity were still praised by assistant coach Scholes.

Under Scholes' strict guidance, the three players constantly adjusted their technical movements and ways of exerting force. They repeatedly trained from different angles and distances, striving to make every set-piece perfect.

After the direct free kick training, head coach Mourinho still wanted to divide the players involved in the set-piece attack and defense into two parts: the offensive group and the defensive group.

Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Ruben Dias, Josh Gvardiol, Edinson Cavani, Erling Haaland, Romelu Lukaku, Cody Gakpo, Marcus Rashford and others also fully utilized their advantages and showed their important role in set-piece offense and defense.

Mourinho encouraged the players loudly on the sidelines: "Very good, everyone should keep working hard. Set-pieces are opportunities that we must seize in the game, and they are also the key link of our defense."

Next, head coach Mourinho organized a tactical drill for long-range shots in the midfield.

The long-range shooting ability of midfielders can break the deadlock for the team at critical moments. Mourinho gathered midfielders such as Marco Verratti, Rodrigo Hernandez, Scott McTominay, Jesse Lingard, Aurelian Chuameni, Dani Olmo, Bruno Fernandes and other midfielders together to explain the tactical requirements in detail.

"In the game, when we have the opportunity, midfielders should dare to try long shots. Your long shots can put a lot of pressure on the opponent's goalkeeper and create scoring opportunities for the team." Mourinho said.

Marco Verratti, Rodrigo Hernandez and others listened carefully to the coach's explanation. They knew that they had a great responsibility. In the drill, the midfielders actively looked for opportunities for long shots.

In an attack, Marco Verratti received a pass from his teammate and kicked a long shot without hesitation. The ball hit the post and flew out. Mourinho applauded and encouraged on the sidelines: "Very good, everyone should continue to maintain such courage. Midfield long shots are an important weapon for us in the game. We must dare to try and create more opportunities for the team."

At the end of the training match, Mourinho arranged an offensive forward tactic for the central defenders.Drill. Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Ruben Dias, Josh Gwadiol and other central defenders are ready to engage in a unique offensive forward training.

Harry Maguire stood at the front of the team, his tall body like a solid fortress. Maguire's eyes were firm, and he knew his important responsibility in this training. As a central defender, he must not only be as solid as a rock on the defensive end, but also show a bold forward sense when attacking.

As the training began, Harry Maguire quickly observed the situation on the field. When the team launched an attack, he accurately judged the timing and rushed forward decisively. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step was full of firm determination. In an offensive drill, Harry Maguire saw his teammate pass the ball and quickly started, rushing towards the opponent's penalty area like a heavy tank. Relying on his physical advantage, he still maintained his momentum under the interference of the opponent's defensive players, adding a strong impact to the team's offense.

Raphael Varane showed his calmness and wit. He always maintained a high level of concentration and keenly captured every offensive opportunity. Raphael Varane's timing of forward insertion was just right. He would not rush forward blindly, but would act quickly when he observed a loophole in the opponent's defense.

In training, Raphael Varane's running position was very flexible. He was able to cleverly avoid the opponent's defensive players and create space for himself to receive the ball. Once, when the team launched an attack on the wing, Raphael Varane quickly moved forward. After receiving the pass from his teammate, he passed the ball without hesitation, creating an excellent shooting opportunity for the striker.

Ruben Dias also performed well in training. His eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit and were full of desire for offensive insertion. Ruben Dias' physical fitness is very good. His explosive power and speed allow him to quickly get rid of the opponent's defense when he is attacking.

In an offensive drill, Ruben Dias received a long pass from the midfielder and rushed directly to the opponent's penalty area with the ball. His dribbling skills are very skillful. When facing the opponent's defensive players' pressing, he can respond calmly and use clever feints to shake the opponent, opening up the situation for the team's offense.

Although Josko Gwadiol is young, he is not afraid of the stage in training. He actively participates in every offensive forward, showing great courage and potential. Josko Gwadiol's speed and flexibility allow him to quickly find gaps in the offense, providing more options for the team's offense.

As the drill progresses, the players' cooperation becomes more and more tacit, and the tactical execution becomes more and more in place. Mourinho is full of satisfaction when watching the players' performance. He knows that these tactical drills will lay a solid foundation for the team in future games.

After the training, Mourinho called the players together and summarized. His eyes were full of expectations and encouragement. "Everyone performed very well today. Through this drill, we have a deeper understanding and mastery of various tactics." Mourinho said, "In future games, we must flexibly use these tactics according to different opponents and game situations. I believe that as long as everyone unites and works hard, we will be able to achieve better results."

The players listened to the coach's summary and were full of confidence and fighting spirit.
