In this match, Manchester United launched an amazing 4-4-2 diamond formation. The only reason Manchester United operated the Diamond 4-4-2 under Solshard’s management system was in the second half of the Champions League first leg against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the second half. minute 22, replacing Pogba. In other words, this is the first time that DIA 4-4-2 has been operated from the beginning.

Anthony Marsial and Mason Greenwood took both tops, while Donny van the Bake took the lead as an offensive central midfielder. Paul Pogba and Fred were central midfielders on the left and right, and Nemanja Matic assumed the role of holding midfielder in front of the foreback. Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Visaca were in charge of the left and right flank defenses, while Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof formed the central defense duo. The goal was kept by goalkeeper David de Gea as always.

DAY 4-4-2 worked in two ways. First, Tyler Adams and Conrad Reimer were injured, and Amadu Haidara was absent due to a positive reaction from Corona 19, giving him the advantage in the midfield fight against Leipzig, where the power drain occurred in midfield. Second, Pogba was able to maximize his own abilities by playing the role of ‘mezz’ala’.

Here, meshala is a compound word of ‘mezz’ which means center in Italian and ‘ala’ which means wing. In other words, it is a positional term that refers to a player who is basically in the center but covers to the side.

This is a role that Pogba often played during Juventus. Pogba played for Juventus for four seasons, from 2012/13 to 2015/16. During the first three seasons, excluding the last one, he became one of the best midfielder combinations in Europe, with playmaker Andreas Pirlo, Juventus youth midfielder Claudio Marchisio and arturo Vidal, who had scored as a full fighting midfielder. of determination. It formed the famous ‘MVPP (Marquisio-Vidal-Pirlo-Pogba)’ line. The role that Pogba played at that time was the left meshala. They culminated in the 2014/15 season and advanced to the final of the Champions League.

In this match, Pogba had an 86% success rate. Above all, the number of passes to the attacking field was the highest at a whopping 15. It was Man United that was able to solve much of the flank problem, the biggest weakness of the Dia 4-4-2 formation, already that Pogba always provided forward passes. In addition to this, he managed 3 interceptions and 1 tackle, showing that he was dedicating himself to defense as usual.

In particular, Pogba played a role in supporting his back against Leipzig and his excellent ball defense skills. In the process, Pogba won the most 18 ball competitions among Manchester United players (11 at Fred and Matic in second place) and 6 fouls. As a result, it was difficult for Leipzig’s greatest strength, the high pressure, to exert its power.

Finally, Manchester United’s first goal came off Pogba’s feet. In the 21st minute, Pogba pushed the ball forward and stabbed a direct pass. Greenwood, pushing into space behind the Leipzig defense, scored the goal with a non-stop shot.

Leipzig, who allowed the goal, came out offensively. However, Manchester United continued to harass Leipzig, with De Gea’s goalkeeper making a save at an important moment, and good draws by Pogba and Marsial on the left wing.

In addition, in the 18th minute of the second half, manager Ole Gunnar Solskár Manu replaced Marcus Rashford and Scott McTomini with Greenwood and Matic at the same time.

Leipzig is basically a team that uses strong forward pressure and quick punches while raising the high line. This poses the risk of leaving space behind the defensive line frequently (this is similar to the characteristics of current Southampton coach Ralph Hazenwhitl, who led the promotion team as a former Leipzig coach). It was a pavement to attack the Leipzig players with Rashford’s high speed after Brunu’s direct pass in a moment of exhaustion.

This worked. In the 29th minute of the second half, during the fast break, Rashford caught a one-touch pass from Bruno and scored an additional goal. As Rashford was behind the Leipzig defenders at the time, the referee called offside without delay. However, as a result of reading the video, by the time Bruno passed, the Leipzig players were all on the attacking court above the midline. According to the rules of football, no offside foul is declared when all the players of the defending team are on the offensive side. In other words, it was a typical case that Leipzig was too aggressive to act like poison. Of course, it can be said that Brunu is sensible and that Rashford’s quick feet shone.

Then, in the 32nd minute of the second half, Marcel Jabbitzer dragged him out of a danger zone and was intercepted by Fred, and Rashford, who received him, scored a light goal in a heads up with the goalkeeper, widening the difference to three goals.

Indeed, in the 36th minute of the second half, Manchester United had a chance to put Edinson Cavani and Axel Tianzev in, excluding Pogba and Wan-Bissaka. In the 40th minute of the second half, Marsial, who again received a pass from Fred in the course of a counterattack, induces an opponent’s foul inside the penalty area. Marsial calmly managed to execute the penalty he got.

Finally, one minute after regulation time (90 + 1 minutes), Marsial crossed the wing and gave the pass, and Rashford caught the ball and scored a goal with a shot, marking the end of a 5-0 victory. It is Rashford who completed a hat-trick replacing him.

Rashford played in the 18th minute of the second half and only played a little over 27 minutes. However, he attempted the most 4 shots among the players and showed his power of scoring all 3 effective shots. The number of successful dribbling advances was also the highest with three. It wasn’t enough that the weary Leipzig players caught up with him.

Even during Game A period in October, Solshar was engulfed in hard snow. However, on the fifth day of the Premier League against Newcastle they won 4-1 with the double playmaker Brunu-Mata system, and in addition to the defensive 500 system in the first leg of the Champions League against PSG, it was 2-1 with transition 4-4-2 in the second half.
