At 4 o'clock in the morning on November 25th, Beijing time, there was a competition for the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage at Old Trafford. Manchester United played against Istanbul. In this match, Manchester United's performance was significantly better than their opponents, so they made more goals on the court. With the end of the game, Manchester United's B Fee, Rashford and James scored goals one after another, of which B Fee alone scored two goals.
In the end, Manchester United won 4-1 at home and scored a key three-pointer. Currently, it continues to lead in Group H, and is ahead of Paris and Leipzig by 3 points, occupying the first opportunity to qualify. What makes Manchester United fans even more gratified is that Manchester United also received a big surprise after winning, this is because Manchester United's 23-year-old new aid Van der Beek can attack and defend well.
In this match with the Istanbul team, Van der Beek has two obvious characteristics of the game. One is that he plays the ball simply, which is very different from Pogba. Because when Pogba appears in the midfielder position, Pogba often drags the ball after getting the ball and likes meaningless dribbling. Now, Van der Beck has no such shortcomings.
because he is very decisive in the game, passing the ball is extremely clear. In 90 minutes, Van der Beck completed a total of 64 passes, of which 56 were in place. During this period, he still has 2 threatening passes. It is precisely because Van der Beek's passing and receiving speed is very fast, which also makes Manchester United's transition from defense to offense more and more smooth, which is an ability that Pogba does not have.
In addition, Van der Beck's defense is also very active. He will always complete the defense as quickly as possible after the team is hit back. And when man-to-man defense in positional warfare, Van der Beek's defensive work can also be meticulous. Throughout the game, Van der Beck had 1 steal, 1 clearance, and blocked 4 passes. His defensive performance was almost perfect.
Because Van der Beck does not occupy the ball in the game and has a strong sense of defense, he has formed the Manchester United midfield dual core with B Fee. Now, when Manchester United beat Istanbul, Manchester United sees Van der Beek's comprehensive personal strength. In the future, Van der Beek may make Pogba no ball to play. Because compared to Pogba, Van der Beek is more suitable for the current Manchester United tactical system.
