    Since Woodgate suffered a slight injury in the last game and Ibrahimovic was suspended, Mourinho's lineup for this game has made several positional adjustments compared to the previous game.  The lineup has also returned to 442. The goalkeeper is still Given, and the right back Kufuor rotates. The center back partner is Lucio and the 19-year-old Dawson - this is his first time playing in the Premier League.  The defender sent Bernard, who scored a goal for Manchester United at the Theater of Dreams last year.

    Midfielders Makelele and Nie Fei appear in the middle, with Robert and Dyer on the left and right respectively. The forwards are last season's partners Shearer and Bellamy. It is worth mentioning that Shearer and Bellamy are the same players who played in the midfield.  The player who scored the remaining two goals in the away game against Manchester United last season - it seems that although Mourinho asked the players to forget that game, he himself has not forgotten it, otherwise he would not remember the away game against Manchester United last season.  Every player who scored a goal for Manchester United came on the field.

    Manchester United's lineup is only slightly adjusted, with goalkeeper Howard, right back Phil Neville, left back O'Shea, center backs Ferdinand and Silvestre, and midfielder Djemba replacing the injured Butt and Keane.  Partnering with double midfielders, left midfielder Giggs, right midfielder Solskjaer, central midfielder Scholes, and lone forward Ruud van Nistelrooy.

    Nineteen-year-old Michael Dawson stood in the player tunnel, nervous and uneasy, constantly looking at the man standing behind Manchester United captain Keane.

    Ruud van Nistelrooy, now 27 years old, is a super striker who has scored more than 20 league goals for two consecutive years after landing in the Premier League. He is known as the "King of the Small Zone" and is the top scorer last season.  .  The man who can score the most goals in the Premier League.

    And the person he is marking today is this person.

    As a newcomer who plays in the Premier League for the first time, he encounters the defending champion in the first game, and the target is the top scorer - this kind of thing is not something that everyone can encounter.  Although Dawson was praised by the media and fans for his youthful maturity and general demeanor when he was at Nottingham Forest, you need to know.  English League One and Premier League are two completely different worlds.

    But in tension.  Dawson's heart is also filled with excitement - the Premier League is the Premier League!  Basically every game will be a big event!  Dream Theater!  Manchester United!  With such an opponent, are you still afraid that you won't be able to show your worth?

    Although leaving Nottingham Forest, where he was born and raised, still made him feel a little uneasy, the current scene made him feel that he had made the right decision to stay in Nottingham. How could he personally participate in such a big scene?  Although Nottingham Forest has had its glory days, given their current situation, it is very difficult to re-enter the top league.  Not to mention the impact towards glory!

    "Okay, Michael, don't be too nervous." Dyer patted him on the shoulder. Although he was only five years older than him, Dyer had already played in the league for four seasons in Newcastle, and he didn't know how many times he had played against Manchester United.  Naturally, he will not be nervous: "Ruud is just a player You are no worse than him in height, strength and speed, so what are you afraid of? And the defensive players will always have an advantage over the offensive players. More  What's more, Lucio will help you fill the position Don't worry, remember what the coach told you? Don't worry about others, just keep an eye on Ruud van Nistelrooy and don't let him disappear from your eyes. The rest of Manchester United will come from the back row.  Players who intervene in the offense will naturally have others to deal with them.¡±

    "I understand." Dawson nodded: "I will behave well."

    Mourinho still looked cold and sat on the coaching bench with his arms folded.  Like he had so much confidence in this game.

    In fact, he is not sure. Although Newcastle has several capable defenders this year, for a defense line, the most important thing is not the personal ability of the players, but the tacit understanding between them - and this  , is what Newcastle lacks most now.

    The frontcourt offense can also rely on the players' sudden inspiration to solve the problem, but the defense cannot rely on this. It can only rely on tacit understanding, mutual protection and collective strength.

    And Newcastle¡¯s current defense line has three newcomers, especially the two central defenders who have never cooperated together.  Can they withstand Manchester United's powerful attack?  Mourinho has no confidence at all.

    So what he relies on is Newcastle's offense.

    The problems with Manchester United¡¯s defense still exist.  They haven't found a trustworthy goalkeeper since Schmeichel retired. Barthez's low-level mistakes have earned him the reputation of "Butter Hand". Although Howard, who was introduced this year, performed pretty well in the first league game  , but Mourinho never believed that this guy from the United States would be a very good goalkeeper. In their defense, except for second captain Neville and sky-high defender Ferdinand??, the other two can only be said to have average strength. Sylvester is Manchester United's long-term substitute, and O'Shea is a substitute among the substitutes. Compared with Manchester United's talented frontcourt attackers, their defense line  It can only be said to be second-rate.

    Therefore, Mourinho's tactics for Newcastle are quite bold. Dawson marks Ruud van Nistelrooy, Makelele is responsible for defending the midfielder who may intervene in the attack, and the two full-backs Kufuor and Bernard are responsible for defending Manchester United's two wings.  Gus and Solskjaer adopted one-on-one marking tactics to maximize their personal abilities. On offense, the main offensive points were concentrated on the right side of Dyer, focusing on O'Shea, trying to lead the attack with points.  , and then break through Manchester United's entire defense!

    He has already formulated the tactics. As for the progress of the game, it depends on the performance of the players on the court!

    The game got into a fever pitch right from the start!

    When Manchester United kicked off, Newcastle's midfielders and frontcourt players immediately rushed into Manchester United's half and began to press forward bravely. Although they were brave, they were not reckless, active, layered, one after another.  Push forward.

    However, every Manchester United player has seen big scenes, so naturally they will not be intimidated by this level of pressing. They still controlled the ball in the midfield. Scholes made a beautiful pass in the middle and passed the ball.  Passed to the feet of Ruud van Nistelrooy on the right side of the penalty area!

    Since Dawson did not follow Van Nistelrooy out of the penalty area, Van Nistelrooy easily took a long shot from the corner of the penalty area. Kufuor stretched out his foot to block the ball. The ball changed direction but still flew towards the goal. Given flew to save the ball.  Bottom line.

    Only two minutes into the game, Manchester United completed an excellent attack.

    Giggs took a corner kick, and the Newcastle defenders obviously missed someone. O'Shea, who assisted in the frontcourt, had no one to defend him. He took off in the small penalty area and headed the goal from close range!

    The fans of Manchester United were about to cheer, when Given made a wonderful save, a beautiful side save, and the ball that was about to fly into the goal was forced out of the bottom line with one palm!

    Newcastle fans immediately let out huge cheers, and Manchester United fans immediately suppressed their cheers with huge boos: "Just bad luck!"

    "Fuck your mother!" Newcastle fans immediately hit back.

    Just like Newcastle fans launched a counterattack, Newcastle, which was continuously suppressed by Manchester United at the beginning, also immediately launched a counterattack. Given took the goal kick, and Kufuor immediately handed the ball to Dyer in front, and Dyer was in Giggs' defense.  He still brought the ball to the frontcourt. After a beautiful one-two with Nie Fei, he got rid of Giggs, and then passed the ball into the penalty area beautifully under O'Shea's defense, hitting Shearer in front.  After a feint, Bellamy fell in the penalty area due to Ferdinand's entanglement. The referee waved his hand to indicate that there was no foul.

    Newcastle fans yelled: "This is a penalty kick! Didn't you see something wrong with your eyes?"

    "Fuck your mother!" This time it was the Manchester United fans' turn to fight back.

    "It's so hot" Pei Wei sighed and thought in the box: "No matter how exciting the Chinese League is, it will never be like this."

    He turned to Su Mei next to him and said with a smile: "Until Chuan Chuan grows up, you can't take him to the scene to watch football Otherwise, the first English he learns will be 'Fake'."

    Su Mei also laughed. David Keir, the chairman of Manchester United next to him, was a little puzzled. He couldn't understand the Chinese spoken by Pei Wei and Su Mei, so he interrupted: "Pei, what are you laughing at?"

    "Nothing." Pei Wei said seriously: "I was just discussing the future education of my children with my wife In addition, I envy the enthusiasm of Manchester United fans."

    "Where." Keir laughed. The new chairman, who was elected after the former chairman Edwards stepped down due to the recruitment scandal, seemed to take Pei Wei's words as true and immediately said: "Actually, Newcastle fans are the  They are the most enthusiastic and the most enthusiastic in England You know, although our Manchester United jersey products are sold to every corner of the world, there is not a very good business in Manchester."

    Keir¡¯s words are true. You know, in Manchester, the most popular team is Manchester City, not Manchester United. Unlike Newcastle, basically everyone in this city who is a fan supports Newcastle United.

    "I am envious of Manchester United's huge talent base around the world If possible, I hope Newcastle can get some help from Manchester United." Pei Wei said lightly.

    ??Keir said haha ??and changed the words. Manchester United has many satellite clubs around the world. It took many years of accumulation for Manchester United to build this. How can it be shared with Newcastle.

      Pei Wei smiled and did not continue the topic.
