Chapter 34 - Debut in the new season
Although he only coached Blackburn for two full seasons, the industry’s evaluation of Mark Hughes’s coaching level is not low, thinking that he will likely become one of Manchester United’s coaching candidates after Ferguson’s retirement.
But in fact, Mark Hughes’s coaching style is closer to Chelsea’s Mourinho. He is tough, iron-blooded, solidly defensive. He has invested little force but has an effective offensive. Last season he defeated Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool consecutively. Hughes is well-known.
So Middlesbrough immediately hoarded heavy soldiers in the midfield and backcourt after the opening tentative attack. Peterson and Bentley on the opposite wing of the opposing team were strong in the Premier League, and McCarthy on the forward line was the best last season. Shooter.
After nothing in the first half, Mark Hughes replaced Dunwich with Dunne in the second half to strengthen the offensive.
In the 56th minute, it was Dunn who received a pass from McCarthy in the penalty area. Dali shot the defender’s body deflected into the net and broke the deadlock.
Two minutes later, McCarthy received a cross from Peterson in the counterattack, and his right foot easily pushed the goal.
“It’s Benny McCarthy!” Sky TV broadcaster Mortson exclaimed loudly: “Last season’s best shooter is still hot!”
Within three minutes, he went to the two cities, and Mark Hughes, who had akimbo on the sidelines, was energetic
Then Mark Hughes replaced the starting striker Roberts, the replacement is the new aid Santa Cruz, the field formation changes accordingly.
McCarthy is a good player both in tough fights and counterattacks. He can play both the center and the second forward. Although Santa Cruz has a delicate technique under the feet of the South Americans, he is tall and good at grabbing points, and the speed is relatively slow, which determines that he can only Hit center.
Mark Hughes stood on the sidelines and watched the effect, frowning and saying to Claremont, “Benny is a little independent…”
Claremont shrugged, which is justified. Generally speaking, in the team, the center who has the highest right to fire or has the most opportunities to shoot is the center. The second forward needs to pull the side to open the gap and need to return. Looking for cooperation in the midfield, even need to return to defense, last season’s top scorer McCarthy Ken?
Ten minutes into the game, how many times has Santa Cruz touched the ball…
Mark Hughes looked back at the bench. This season the FA made adjustments to the bench. The number of seats rose from five to seven. His sights turned on veteran Reid and teenager Sun Wu.
Claremont also glanced back, “Thinkers are more appropriate, of course, you are the head coach.”
Mark Hughes twitched his lips, and every time Sun Wu sat on the bench, his right hand held his jaw with a deep gaze, like the world-famous “thinker” of French sculpture master Rodin, plus Sun Wu often and The coaching staff discusses tactical topics, although most of them are ridiculous, but there are also thought-provoking words, so there is a nickname of “thinker” in the team.
In fact, in the mind of Mark Hughes, Sun Wu is more suitable to play in the middle, but the defense is really reassuring, and the position of the front waist has never been popular in the Premier League. Blackburn has always been a parallel position in these seasons. 442 formation.
Mark Hughes hasn’t made a decision yet, and suddenly something changed on the field. McCarthy took the ball on the right and forced it to bottom. The opposing center defender Woodgate kicked a shovel…
The referee gave Woodgate a yellow card without any politeness, and then found it wrong at the prompt of other players. McCarthy fell unconscious on the ground and was unconscious.
“Wouldn’t Benny be studying you?” Roberts looked at the crowd and said to Sun Wu with a strong smile.
Sun Wu’s face is a bit ugly, not because of Roberts’s sentence, but because he has been very strange before. As a famous shooter who once won the Big Ear Cup in Megatron Europe, why McCarthy was not famous in his past life memory.
You have to know that McCarthy showed more than one grade higher than his teammates in competition or training last season, and he is not old. He is only 29 years old this year, or the golden period of his career. Is it… Is it Because of this injury?
The electric car has left the stadium, and McCarthy on the car has been put on an oxygen mask, and it seems that he has not regained consciousness.
Mark Hughes no longer hesitated, turned around and shouted: “Best!”
As soon as McCarthy was injured, Claremont rushed the replacement player to warm up. Sun Wu pulled off the waistcoat, and glanced at Reid’s head in the corner of his eyes, quite frustrated.
“Remember that FA Cup final?”
“Of course, I am not yet 20 years old this year, and my memory is better than your husband.”
“Pass a few beautiful feet, turn back and ask Rock to invite you to dinner!” Mark Hughes vigorously patted Sun Wu’s back to push him onto the field.
After the game was resumed, Blackburn’s players were absent, and they also missed McCarthy, who was seriously injured. Everyone knows the importance of the best shooter in a midstream team.
Middlesbrough eased his breath and the assists on both wings were large. He pushed Bentley and Peterson back to halftime. The captain Woodgate commanded loudly in the back and even hit the middle circle.
Two seasons later, Liverpool’s left striker Tangning broke through Emerton and Bentley consecutively. The outside line forced into the penalty area and vigorously passed the ball. The Egyptian center Mido flicked away from Samba and hit the knee before breaking the door. Back to a city.
After the kick-off, Blackburn still did not seem to wake up, there was no way to suppress the frontcourt, the midfield was untenable, and the home fans stopped singing for more than half an hour and burst into bursts.
Non-stop running back and forth in the middle of the front field, Sun Wu finally stopped, I don’t know if other people can see it, anyway, he sees the problem.
In the FA Cup final last season, UU read www.uukanshu.com Sun Wu replaced the injured McCarthy after playing and did not play as a striker. Although there was no move to break the ball, it was similar to the 9th half in terms of position and effect. The ball is needed. Sun Wu tried to find a gap by running and passing the ball to sort out the frontcourt, but the core of the team’s organization was Dunn, and his FA Cup final did not coincide with Sun Wu. Come on…
Deng is the main player in every attack. Sun Wu often runs to the neutral position and asks for his hand. Deng often sends the ball to the side. Bentley and Peterson decide the timing of the cross. Deng En’s own ability to get rid of is not strong, but it is a little sticky, and several forwards overlap with Sun Wu’s running position.
“Best!” Mark Hughes also found it wrong and immediately replaced Best and Bentley, who had been a striker in these two seasons.
When Sun Wu returned to the right and the situation stabilized, Deng’s shot to the side was easier, and he could easily pass without even getting rid of, because Sun Wu’s position was not to hold the side, but to the middle Close, the distance is reduced by at least five to ten meters, and the pass success rate is much higher.
A few consecutive passes with Dunn, Sun Wu suddenly put the ball into the penalty area, Bentley barely swept the ball across the middle and was blocked, Sun Wu took the ball again in the corner of the penalty area and rubbed the ball, Santa Cruz was high Leaping the header to attack the goal, but unfortunately missed slightly.
Mark Hughes on the sideline touched his chin and discussed the changes in tactics with Claremont. I have to say that the presence of Sun Wu made the coaching staff a headache. He could pose a threat almost every time he played, but Bentley and Peter Sen’s position is unshakable. If he wants to adapt to Sun Wu’s play, many tactical details need to be adjusted.
But Mark Hughes can see it, and others can also see it, such as Middlegate’s captain Woodgate.
