The two sides were in a state of panic, and the two sides were in a state of panic.
"Hurry up, James, are you unable to run? Have I emphasized that when switching from offense to defense, you two wingers must retreat immediately!"
"Luka, make up! Remember, I require that the opponent cannot get the ball so comfortably in our ribs! You two midfielders must cooperate with James and Frank to assist in defense, and cannot let them kick the ball comfortably!"
"Thiago, you have to pay attention, once Ronaldo breaks through to the penalty area, you also need to assist in defense and push him to the sideline, do you understand what I mean?"
After determining the tactics, Li Shiguang spent most of the training sessions these days with the players to practice the 3-5-2 formation.
Because this game is mainly about defense and counterattack, Li Shiguang abandoned the slower Berbatov and let Vardy and Falcao play as double strikers, hoping to threaten Manchester United's defense through their impact. After all, Falcao's Drogba experience card has just two games left. After the last round of rest, he should have no problem with physical fitness.
Deisler is still in the attacking midfielder position.
Li Shiguang arranged Milner and Ribery as the two central midfielders who need to run all over the field. Bale has started in consecutive games and his physical reserve has reached the bottom. If Leeds United still can't open the situation in the second half, Li Shiguang may let him go on the field to rush for a while.
Modric and Mascherano will play as double defensive midfielders. Both of them have a large defensive area and have good passing ability.
The three central defenders behind are Chiellini, Kompany and Silva.
If Manchester United is physically exhausted in the second half, they can adjust their tactics and play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3.

Thursday, 7:25 p.m., Old Trafford.
Players from both teams are preparing to play in the player tunnel.
This "Theatre of Dreams" that can accommodate more than 60,000 people is already full at this time. The home fans have turned it into a sea of red. The game has not started yet, but the whole stadium has sung Manchester United's team song several times, and Manchester United flags are waved everywhere.
Although he has been in the English football world for more than a year, to be honest, this is the first time that Li Shiguang has felt this kind of atmosphere.
Before, at Elland Road, the fans were also very enthusiastic, but after all, the stadium can only accommodate more than 20,000 people, which makes it look much smaller than Old Trafford in terms of momentum.
Moreover, the design of most stadiums in England is also very interesting. For example, at Old Trafford, his coaching seats and audience seats are very close, almost part of the audience seats.
So at this moment, Li Shiguang, who was sitting in the coaching booth, could hear the voices of the Manchester United fans behind him.
"Oriental, take your little devils back to Leeds, don't humiliate yourself!"
"Hahahaha, Leeds United little devils, don't cry when you lose the game later!"
"Li, are you ready to accept Sir Ferguson's education today?"
Manchester United fans kept pouring all kinds of offensive remarks into Li Shiguang's ears, but Li Shiguang didn't have so much time to pay attention to these people at this time.
Because he was looking down at the Manchester United starting lineup that Allen had just given him.
There was no difference from what he expected. The only difference was that he thought Ferguson would let Tevez replace Rooney in the starting lineup, but Ferguson didn't. Manchester United's lineup today was the same as the lineup they played against Everton in the last game.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Old Trafford. Next, let's welcome the two teams tonight with the warmest cheers and applause!!!!"
Accompanied by the passionate and resounding commentary of the on-site commentator, the atmosphere in Old Trafford was instantly pushed to a climax! In the stands, countless fans waved flags and placards in their hands. They shouted and cheered hysterically, and the sound was like thunder, as if it was going to break through the sky! At this moment, the whole Old Trafford was immersed in a carnival! .
Seeing the players coming out, Li Shiguang also handed the plywood in his hand to Allen next to him, and walked down from the coaching seat. He was going to say hello to Ferguson before the game started.
"Hi! Alex!" Ferguson, who was talking to the assistant coach next to him with his head down, heard Li Shiguang's voice below, so he quickly put down the plywood in his hand,
walked down.
Ferguson actually admired Li Shiguang quite a lot. Before today, they could be considered partners. After all, the two foxes, one big and one small, played a play together and pitted Bates together.
No matter what the outside world thinks of this game, at least the two head coaches have a good relationship at this moment. The two hugged each other warmly and asked each other about their recent situation.
Then Li Shiguang also smiled and greeted Tevez who was sitting on the bench. Dong Fangzhuo, who was sitting next to Tevez, also smiled and nodded shyly to Li Shiguang. Li Shiguang also knew that the young man from China should have recognized him, so he also responded with a smile, and then he returned to his coaching seat and waited for the game to start.
In addition to the extremely high attention in England, this game also has a group of passionate fans watching the live broadcast on TV and the Internet on the other side of the ocean at this moment.
"Hello, audience friends, welcome to watch the focus match of the third round of the English Premier League brought to you by HCTV, the match between Manchester United and Leeds United at home. I am the commentator Su Tao! Today's match will be live commented by me and Mr. Wang Lu!"
As Su Tao's voice came from the screen, the discussion of the fans also appeared in real time next to the webpage.
"Fuck, what did I just see? Li Shiguang and Ferguson shook hands!"
"Dong Fangzhuo! He seemed to be saying hello to Li Shiguang just now. Do they know each other?"
"I'm so envious. I also want to go to Old Trafford to watch the game!"
"When can we have this kind of football atmosphere? I'm really envious."
"Has anyone seen Li Shiguang's post-match interview with Chelsea? It's all over the Internet. Li Shiguang said he would lead Leeds United into the top 4 this season, but the last round of the game against Charlton ended in a 0:0 draw. In the past two weeks, Li Shiguang has been criticized by English netizens. Today is against Manchester United again. I think it will be difficult for Leeds United to draw!"
"Indeed, with this lineup of Manchester United, can Leeds United win?"
"The two people above, I have a different opinion. Leeds United's lineup is very young and competitive. Maybe they can really tear a piece of meat from Manchester United!"
Looking at the comments of these netizens, Su Tao also opened this topic before the game started.
"Coach Wang, do you think Leeds United can get out of today's game unscathed?"
Last time when he was commentating, Wang Lu just brushed it off when he talked about the head coach because he really didn't know anything about Li Shiguang.
But in the past two weeks, he also looked for a lot of information on the Internet, including the games of Leeds United last season, so he has a preliminary understanding of Li Shiguang's tactical system.
So when he heard Su Tao's question, Wang Lu also quickly answered: "In fact, in the past two weeks, I also hurriedly learned about our compatriot. I found that his favorite high-pressure tactics last season were almost invincible in the English Championship, but today his opponent is the world-famous coach Ferguson, and the intensity of the games in the English Championship is completely incomparable to the Premier League, so I think it is still very difficult for Leeds United to get out of today unscathed."
After seeing Wang Lu finish speaking, Su Tao wanted to continue to express his own opinions.
But at this time, the referee's whistle was heard on the screen.
So Su Tao quickly changed his words and said, "Okay, audience friends, the game has officially begun! Next, let's wait and see who will win today!"
