Times Manchester United reporter Paul Hirst wrote this report.

"In last night's fierce match, Manchester United defeated its opponents with an outstanding performance and successfully advanced to the Champions League final. The team chose the 4231 formation today instead of the 3241 formation that they performed well after the epidemic. In the goalkeeper position, De Gea Will be the starter. On the back line, from left to right are Luke Shaw, Ruben Dias, De Ligt and Dalot. These four players will jointly shoulder the heavy responsibility of defense. Double midfielder position On the left, Guimarães and Matic will play together. At the attacking midfielder position, De Jong will start. His organizational skills and offensive threats will bring great help to the team. At the left wing position, Rashford Will be the starter. His speed and breakthrough ability will be important weapons for the team's offense. At the right wing position, Perisic will be the starter. His passing and shooting abilities will pose a threat to Bayern's defense. At the center position, Lin Kedi will be the starter.

This 4231 formation shows the strength of Manchester United.During the game, the team controls the rhythm of the game through ball control and coordination.The four players on the back line cooperated tacitly, effectively limiting the opponent's offense.Guimarães and Matic stabilize the defense in the dual defensive midfielder positions and are also able to launch quick counterattacks.De Jong's organizational and offensive abilities in the attacking midfielder position created many opportunities for the team.Rashford and Perisic also performed very well on the wing. Their speed and breakthrough ability made it difficult for opponents to defend.Lin Kedi's outstanding performance at the center position made the team even more powerful.

During the game, Manchester United's overall performance was impressive.The players fought hard on the court and worked well together to push their opponents into a desperate situation.Lin Kedi performed even better, scoring two goals at the critical moment to seal the victory for the team.His performance not only won warm applause from the fans, but also received high praise from coaches and teammates.

This is the second time Manchester United has reached the Champions League final since 2011, which is of great significance to the team and fans.They will have the opportunity to challenge for Europe's highest honor and add another glory to the club's history.And this 4231 formation will also become an important weapon for Manchester United in this game.We have reason to believe that they will continue to play an important role in the game and help Manchester United create more brilliance! "

For this game, the famous football commentator Lineker also spoke highly of it.He said in an interview: "This game was a very high technical and tactical contest, and the two teams played a very exciting game. Manchester United used a 4231 formation in this game, which is actually relatively conservative, but They were the ones who scored the final goal and won the game. Judging from the data after the end of the game, the number of shots and the number of shots on goal of the two teams were basically the same. Even Manchester United's number of shots was slightly less, but in the end The winner was Manchester United. I think the difference came from Manchester United’s captain Lin Kedi.”

Lineker continued: "Linker scored 2 goals in this game, raising his number of goals in the Champions League this season to 17. And his number of goals for the club this season has reached a terrifying level. 81 goals, really - I don't know how to describe Lin Kedi's goals. His performance is so outstanding, not only in the Champions League, but also unrivaled in the domestic league. .”

Lineker also pointed out: "If, if this season is a normal season, then it is not impossible for Lineker to surpass Messi's annual goals in a single season! Of course, this season is very special. , but we cannot deny Lin Kedi's outstanding performance. He is a very comprehensive player, not only has an excellent performance on the offensive end, but also made a great contribution on the defensive end. His leadership and fighting spirit are also important factors for Manchester United. An integral part of the team.”

Finally, Lineker concluded: "Manchester United's opponent is Paris Saint-Germain. Well, although I should objectively evaluate and predict the final Champions League final, I'm sorry, I don't see Paris Saint-Germain winning the game. Any possibility. Look at the Paris defense. When this defense encounters Lin Ke, who is now in full swing, I really can’t imagine what will happen then. I think if Paris Saint-Germain can win, the only option is to attack Manchester United. The wing defense, this may be their only chance!"

On the second day of the game, Manchester United legend Gary Neville listed a series of statistics to express how legendary Manchester United has been this season.He said in an interview: "38 rounds of the Premier League, 107 points, an unprecedented league record, any unbeaten season is just a cloud in front of 107 points! League Cup champion, FA Cup champion, but this is not the end. The Champions League is only We drew one game, won all the remaining games, and reached the Champions League final. In the Champions League, Manchester United also created a classic 8-1 victory over Barcelona. I can only say that Manchester United this season is invincible."

Gary Neville continued: "Ten Hag and the players are very important to Manchester United's victory this season, but the key point is that Lin can defeat the enemy. What I want to say is that I agree with Lineker's view. When you When your team has a player who can score 81 goals in a single season, all you need to do is defend well. Because just leave it to Lin Ke! This season fully illustrates a super top player. What a center can bring to a team!"

He also pointed out: "I believe that even in the first half of the season, not many fans could believe that Manchester United could reach this point. But as the terrifying data of Lin Keen's step by step are reflected, people will find that, Lin Kedi alone can bring a terrifying and huge improvement to Manchester United. His scoring ability and leadership are an indispensable part of the Manchester United team, and his performance also allows people to see the strength and confidence of the Manchester United team. "

Finally, Gary Neville concluded: "In short, Manchester United this season is legendary. They have created a series of historical records and demonstrated strong strength and confidence. Lin Kedi's outstanding performance is even more impressive. Now comes the future and hope of Manchester United. I believe that Manchester United can win this championship after 11 years. I also believe that this is just the starting point for Manchester United to rebuild its glory. I believe that Lin Kedi will become a legendary player of Manchester United. Juxtaposed with those shining names!”

On the same day, Lin Kedi was interviewed by UEFA before the Champions League final.

The first question asked by UEFA reporters was - "What kind of challenge do you think Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe and Neymar will bring to Manchester United in the Champions League final? Do you think they are the decisive players in Paris?" ?”

"Mbappe and Neymar are both world-class stars, and their performance will definitely directly affect the performance of the Paris team. But I believe football is a team sport, and the game depends on the overall performance. I I know that Paris is a strong opponent, but I am confident that Manchester United will be the one with the last laugh." The UEFA reporter did not give up and continued to ask: "As the captain of Manchester United, what do you think about this Champions League final? Don’t you have the confidence to win the championship? If so, where does the confidence come from?”

This question is very common.

Lin defeated the enemy easily.

"Of course I am confident that I can win the championship. I have said it just now. As for the source of my confidence, this source came from the excellent performance of our team. During this period, our team's high state, these are all The source of my confidence. I know that we have not played against Paris in recent years, but when we meet a new team, we will be more confident, because we also have an excellent coaching staff, and they will be specific to the opponent. Arrangement of troops, this is the whole source of my confidence!”

Next, the third question - Manchester United has performed well in the Champions League this season. What do you think is the key to the team's success?In the finals, what preparations does the team need to make to have a better chance of winning?
"I think the key to our great success this season is that we do two things right, offense and defense. It's a very simple question, but there are very few teams that can do both. We do it right. The number of goals scored this season is the most in Europe, and the number of goals conceded is also the least in Europe. If we achieve these two things at the same time, it is self-evident that we have achieved such a significant success! As for the final, I think we may still have to defend well. After all, Paris Saint-Germain's offense is still very strong. Since ancient times, there has been no name in the finals of competitions. Maybe in the finals three days later, there will not be an offensive battle that fans are looking forward to. I believe both teams will play very cautiously.”

The fourth and final question, a UEFA reporter asked this question - you play an important role in the Manchester United team, not only with outstanding performance on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. A great contribution.What impact do you think your form and performance have on the team?

"It would be false to say that my ups and downs have no impact on the team. My ups and downs definitely have an impact on the team. There is no need to deny this. But one thing I want to say is that as the team's leading scorer , I will definitely be fully marked by the opponent, but in the past two years, I have been treated like this, but no one can completely restrict me. If you restrict my shooting, then I will help the team in passing the ball. If you limit my passing and shooting, then I will help the team defensively, and I can also use my running to help the team. My state and performance may affect the team, then I will ensure that my My condition will reach its best level by then, and I will make adjustments in the next few days to ensure that I perform at my strongest level in the finals!"
-
In the morning training, the entire Manchester United team went to the training base for recovery training.The training content mainly includes jogging, stretching and some simple ball skills exercises.These training sessions are designed to help players relax and relieve tension before games while improving their physical flexibility and flexibility to avoid unnecessary injuries during the game.

During the afternoon break, players can relax in any way they like.Some players chose to read books or watch movies to relax, while others chose to chat and exchange game experiences with their teammates.This period of rest is very important for the players, because they need to make full use of this time to adjust their condition and ensure that they can perform at their best in the finals.

Two days before the Champions League final, no player would choose to leave the hotel and go out to have fun. At this stage, no player would do such a mindless thing.

While the players were resting, the coaching staff was also nervously preparing the tactical arrangements for the finals.

In the spacious and bright conference room, Ten Hahe and the coaching staff sat around a rectangular conference table.The room was filled with a serious and focused atmosphere, and everyone was listening carefully to Mitchell's first words.

"We adopted a 4231 formation in the last game. Although we finally won the game, I must point out that we suffered suppression for a long time in the game. The opponent's offensive performance was obviously stronger than their own defense, which made us I fell into a passive position during the game." Mitchell said in a deep tone.

He paused, glanced at the coaching staff present, and continued: "I don't think Paris Saint-Germain is stronger than Bayern Munich overall, but their offensive advantages are indeed worthy of our attention. I predict , they will definitely use offense as their main tactical method in the finals. Therefore, we need to adjust our tactical strategy to better deal with their offense."

Mitchell's eyes flashed with determination. He said: "I think we should play our own routine. The 3241 formation is a good choice. We adopted 4231 for stability in the last game. Formation, but this is not our best tactical method. The 3241 formation is our core tactic and our best offensive method!"

Ten Hag was noncommittal and turned his attention to attacking coach McCarthy.He knows that as an offensive coach, McCarthy has in-depth research and understanding of the team's offensive system.Ten Hag wanted to hear his opinion and see what he thought of the situation at hand.

McCarthy was also prepared. He quickly took out an iPad and lightly slid his fingers across the screen. A series of data and images were instantly displayed.He connected his iPad to his laptop, and then connected his laptop to the big screen, and the two formation diagrams were clearly displayed in front of everyone.

"This is a 4141 formation diagram and a 3241 formation diagram." McCarthy began to explain. "If I look at it from an offensive coach's perspective, there is no doubt that I agree with Mitchell Van Der Gaag. I I feel that the 3241 formation can fully utilize our offensive advantages."

He paused and continued: "Of course this is only the first advantage. The other biggest advantage is that when we accumulate manpower in the frontcourt, we can press our opponents, and Paris Saint-Germain's midfielders and backfielders, In fact, he is very afraid of pressure, and I can let defensive coach Shadley talk about this later."

McCarthy looked at the people present and continued: "From an offensive point of view, I definitely support the 3241 formation. After all, the two wings in Paris are far inferior to the two wings in Bayern Munich. Ours The wide players are faster and more skillful than them, and if we can take full advantage of that, the chances of victory will increase significantly."

Tenhahe nodded in agreement.He knows that as an offensive coach, McCarthy has a very in-depth understanding and analysis of offense.He also believes that McCarthy's suggestions will be one of the keys to the team's victory.

But just now McCarthy mentioned the team's defensive coach Shadley, so he decided to continue to listen to Shadley's advice.He looked at Shadley and motioned for him to speak.

Shadley did not take out his iPad to show the data, but began to explain directly.He said: "First, let's take a look at PSG's defense. In the second half of the season, they used Marquinhos to play more in the defensive midfielder position. Their central defender combination is led by Kim Pembe and Thiago Silva serve as the left back, usually Bernat, and the right back is usually Krell. To be honest, the strength of this defense is really a notch behind Bayern Munich. Especially their central defenders, who are both 1 meters tall, are very suitable for our cross-passing and pressing tactics from the wing."

Shadley paused, and after seeing that everyone was very engaged in listening, he continued: "Actually, what we really want to talk about is their offense. When it comes to their offense, we have to talk about our defense. Generally speaking, Paris Neymar and Di Maria play on the two wings, and Mbappe is in the middle. This is the position of the formation. But in the actual game, Mbappe prefers to go to the wings, especially the left wing, and Neymar actually often goes to the center to organize or go to the wing to form a breakthrough, while Di Maria is on the right. So in fact, the left is the focus of their offense, and our right defense, if we play If there are 4 defenders, the pressure on Dalot will be very high, and we may also need a defensive midfielder to drop back to help defend."

"But if we play 3241, then we have to increase the pressure in the frontcourt. Neymar and Mbappe can only put one through the midfielder at most. If they pass the midfielder, Dericht will be on the right center back. To defend in position, the midfielder on the right retreats to the full-back position, and the two double-team one player. This is feasible. Then the other defensive midfielder retreats between the two central defenders, which forms 541 . In this case, the transition between offense and defense is very fast. When quickly switching from offense to defense, it quickly changes from 3241 to 541. In a general offense, it directly changes from 4141 to 3241. When pressing up, we attack. The pressure in the frontcourt is exchanged for the stability of the defense.”

"If it's 4231," Shadley paused, "actually it's difficult for us to effectively organize Neymar and Mbappe in the frontcourt. Because the space utilization rate is not enough! In the 4231 formation, our center With a small number of players on the field, it is difficult to form effective pressure on the opponent. In the 3241 formation, we have more midfielders, which can better control the rhythm of the game and pressure the opponent."

After listening to Shadley's words, and after considering the suggestions of assistant coach Mitchell, offensive coach McCarthy and defensive coach Shadley, Ten Hag finally decided to choose the 3241 formation as the formation for the Champions League final two days later. (End of chapter)
