Chapter 131 When Pogba Has a Bodyguard

Time passed little by little, and the fans of Manchester United looked frightened.

After the first goal, Arsenal organized many attacks, which almost broke Manchester United's goal. If De Gea hadn't suddenly become extremely brave like a goalkeeper, Manchester United would have basically declared failure at this time. .

For 45 minutes, Manchester United fans lived like a year.

They can't wait to move the hands to make time pass faster.

Fortunately United held on.

Although there were many dangers in the process, they still persevered.

The halftime whistle sounded, and commentator Andy Gray couldn't help but exhale longly:

"The first half is finally over! This is definitely a bad experience for Manchester United fans. Their performance was very poor throughout the first half. There were many dangers of Manchester United scoring. The only thing to be thankful for is De Gea's form. Very good, his many high passes helped Manchester United keep the goal.”

"But the danger is still not over. They need to make quick adjustments during the halftime period. At least they cannot be as passive as they were in the first half. Manchester United needs to find a way to make Pogba play more comfortably!"

Richard shook his head and said; "This is really an unexpected game. Pogba has always been an excellent player, but in this game, when facing Kai, his performance was extremely poor. !”

During the comments of the two commentators, the camera just happened to show Pogba.

I saw Pogba walking into the locker room with a gloomy face at this time, as if he didn't mess with me.

In the Manchester United dressing room, there was a sudden bang at the door.

Trash cans inside the house were kicked over.

Pogba roared; "Shit! Shit! Shit!"

The whole locker room was quiet.

The expressions of the Manchester United players were equally heavy.

After all, throughout the first half, their feeling could only be expressed in two words.

‘Frustrated! ’

It's not like Manchester United has never lost.

But this game was extremely frustrating.

Throughout the first half, except for Lingard's shot, they achieved nothing.

It's not just Pogba, his performance in other positions is equally bad.

In this case, they didn't know how to turn the situation around in the second half.

Everyone was silent.

There was no communication and everyone was sulking.

Mourinho walked in.

He was also very angry, even on the verge of exploding.

But he knew very well that anger would not solve the problem.

And the current atmosphere is bad enough. If he, the head coach, doesn't care about the progress of the game and just vents, then there will be no need to play this game.

Mourinho took a deep breath, suppressed the roar in his heart, and said in a calm tone:

"I know you had a hard time in the first half, bad passing, bad shooting, bad offense, bad rhythm! Everything was bad!"

Listening to Mourinho's words, the expressions of the Manchester United players became even worse.

Is this humiliating them?

Looking at the angry eyes of the Manchester United players, Mourinho said slowly: "Very good eyes. I hope you remember the emotions at this time. Emotions can sometimes make people make mistakes, and sometimes they can also unleash their potential! Since Already aware of the poor performance in the first half, let’s regain the momentum in the second half! “

"This is Manchester United's home court, this is your home court, so many pairs of eyes are looking at you, don't let them down, and don't let yourself down either!"

"In the second half, we had to make some changes."

Mourinho began to arrange tactics. After all, if he did not make changes in the second half, he would probably be beaten by Arsenal.

Fortunately, the problem child Pogba was also extremely honest at this time, and he obviously knew that now was not the time to cause trouble.

Everything is being arranged in an orderly manner.

Mourinho has added some competitiveness in the midfield on the basis of Manchester United's lineup.

As Pogba said, since this guy really wants to go head-to-head with Lucky, let him go!

Although Mourinho does not very much agree with this style of play, the game is played by the players after all. If Pogba is not allowed to do this, this guy's performance is likely to be even worse.

Under Mourinho's instruction, Schneiderlin directly became Pogba's bodyguard. His task was simple, that is, to help Pogba solve his troubles.

Mourinho sacrificed his ability to advance in order for Pogba to gain dominance in the midfield.

Now it depends on whether this guy can be kicked out!

On the other side, the Arsenal dressing room was quietly waiting for the game to start.

Although it is currently 1:0 and in the lead, Lucky still dare not take it lightly.

Whether it is Manchester United or Mourinho, this is not a fuel-saving lamp, and we must remain vigilant enough.

Soon, the halftime break ended and the players from both sides walked out of the locker room.

"Players from both teams have started to play. After the halftime break, there were no personnel changes on either side. Obviously Manchester United still wants to make some rectifications on the original basis, but they just don't know how to make changes."

"Arsenal will most likely maintain the tactical characteristics of the first half. After all, they are the dominant side! They don't need to be the first to make changes."

As the commentator spoke, players from both teams walked onto the court to prepare for the second half of the game.

Pogba's expression was extremely fierce.

He wanted to vent all the frustration he had in the first half.

Now that he had a bodyguard by his side, he finally didn't have to be too afraid of Lucky.

He could finally play his part.

In a good mood, Pogba looked at Lucky, and the latter also looked over.

The two looked at each other, and Pogba raised his eyebrows and smiled at Lucky.

Lucky was slightly surprised. How could this guy suddenly become confident?

Manchester City is expected to make some changes in the second half.

Lucky's eyes were agitated, and finally focused on Schneiderlin.

The second half of the game started, and the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Arsenal took the lead.

As soon as the ball was kicked off, Arsenal staged a thrilling moment.

After inducing the opponent's lineup to go deep, Lucky immediately launched a counterattack relying on Aubameyang's speed.

This counterattack was extremely resolute, and Aubameyang's dribbling breakthrough was also the same.

His powerful shot from the left side of the penalty area was saved by De Gea.

Although they failed to score, Manchester United fans were shocked.

The same was true for Manchester United players.

Pogba immediately retreated and took the initiative to receive the ball.

"Pogba played very actively, he took the initiative to ask for it, Pogba finally started to do something!"

As soon as Pogba got the ball, Lucky rushed over quickly.

Pogba did not rush to pass the ball like in the first half, but looked up and looked forward, as if he did not see Lucky.

When Lucky was approaching, Pogba suddenly passed the ball.

Lucky also stretched out his left foot, but in a hurry, he only touched it.

"Too slow!"

Lucky turned and rushed towards Schneiderlin.

His guess was right, Pogba had a bodyguard.

And off the court, Lucky's kick almost gave Mourinho a heart attack.

Mourinho did not think that Lucky's kick was casually stretched out. From his running position, it can be seen that Lucky has been alert to Pogba's pass.

And he has been on guard against Schneiderlin.

What a keen awareness!

Mourinho frowned slightly.

Lucky has already reached the gap.

The whole process did not take long at all.

Although there was no overall impact, Mourinho always had a bad feeling.

On the other hand, Pogba has begun to press forward.

In the first half, he was suppressed by Lucky and huddled in the backcourt, not daring to move forward.

And now he can finally move forward to participate in the attack.

Pogba's eyes kept looking at his teammates, and he used gestures to communicate with his teammates.

He began to pass forward frequently and participated in specific offensive links.

And with Pogba's performance, Manchester United's frozen offense gradually began to loosen.

"Pogba finally showed his ability. This is the right way to play. When facing Arsenal, we must gain some control in the midfield, otherwise Arsenal will squeeze out all the opponent's movement space!"

"Pogba joined the attack, and Manchester United's attack began to become smoother. We can look forward to it!

Before he finished speaking, Lingard fell down like a dog eating shit.

Kante quickly got up from the ground and snatched the ball.

The referee stretched his hands to the attacking team.

This means it is not a foul!
