In a number of British media reports, Erik ten Hag It is said that he has forged his team intensely in Man United’s training sessions since his arrival. There is a certain style that he wants, one of which is pressing.
Affairs pressing this is actually not a foreign thing, especially in modern football. But fans Manchester United In general, it seems that they are not used to seeing their favorite players do this.
So, when they saw Jadon Sancho cs under the direction of Erik ten Hag pressing Liverpool, a number of Man United supporters were excited on Twitter social media.
Another excitement appeared on the same social media when he saw a Man United game scheme. This one is a reflection of ten Hag’s efforts to forge United’s players with a combination of quick and sharp passes.
The moment was born after the game was running for more than half an hour. Man United at that time was 3-0 up.
In front of his goal, David De Gea did a short goal kick towards Victor Lindelof who was standing on his left side. Lindelof was in no rush to send the ball forward under pressure, again because ten Hag made it clear he wanted his players to be ‘comfortable’ in possession of the rounder, and then pass to the left. There’s Luke Shaw.
A moment later, Luke Shaw bounced the ball into the middle where Bruno Fernandes was. After fiddling with the ball, Fernandes sent a long pass into the empty space on the right wing where Sancho could catch the round skinny.
Sancho did not linger in possession of the ball because on the inside there was Diogo Dalot who penetrated into the penalty box. What is lacking in this scheme is finishing, because Dalot chose to shoot rather than pass to Marcus Rashford, whose position is relatively more ideal. The ball just hit the near post.
“Okay, it’s just friendly. But we really look better. This is really just because of the practice. Even though it’s a basic thing,” tweeted a MU fan netizen.
“You see, my players play the ball from behind,” said another excitedly.
“The way we break their pressing,” said another tweet, putting on a clapping emoji.
According to detikers, is it Manchester United? Erik ten Hag does it show potential?
