is temporarily not compatible with the team due to personal technical characteristics. Van der Beek has not made his debut in the league since his transfer to Manchester United this season. But back to the national team, he is still a reliable thigh in the team. Pogba has joined Manchester United for 4 years and is still in the embarrassment of discussing which position is more suitable for him. And this embarrassment has continued to the national team.
In the friendly match that took place early this morning, the Netherlands drew 1-1 with Spain at home. De Boer still failed to reap the first victory of coaching the Netherlands. After taking over the Dutch team, 4 games with 3 draws and 1 loss. In the 47th minute of the game, Van der Beck followed up from a long distance and took a low shot from the left side of his teammate to score the Dutch team to equalize the goal, which did not make De Boer's record more embarrassing.
Van der Beck played the midfielder in this game, but he and Manchester United teammate B Fee are completely two types. B Fee is good at organizing offenses, while Van der Beek is better at getting in afterwards. In the national team, the Dutch team's offensive organization basically comes from the side. One thing he needs to do is to pass and receive the ball in the middle, and the other is to advance into the penalty area and increase the striker contact point. At present, Manchester United's wing attack is weak, and the organization mainly relies on the scheduling of B fee. It is unrealistic to replace B fee with him. If Manchester United do not make tactical adjustments to the characteristics of Van der Beek, it is still difficult for him to have the opportunity to start. If
wants to use Van der Beck, I personally think that the previous 442 diamond midfield formation can be used to let Van der Beck replace Pogba. He is no worse than Pogba in passing and receiving the ball in the midfield, and he is obviously better than Pogba in defense. And Manchester United strikers, whether it is Martial or Rashford, are habitually pulling sides, so Van der Beck's back insertion can just fill the vacancy in the middle. Van der Beek does not need the ball much, and there is no coexistence problem like Pogba and B Fei. And his frequent running without the ball can give his teammates a gap and create opportunities. Perhaps this change can make Manchester United's offense more three-dimensional, changeable and layered.
Deschamps just recently complained about Pogba in a media interview, thinking that Pogba was unhappy at Manchester United. But the reality is that if Pogba is to be happy, everyone may be unhappy. For example, in the just-concluded friendly match between France and Finland, France lost 0-2. Pogba became the background board during the second goal scored by Finland.
In this game, Deschamps placed Pogba in the starting and midfielder position. Manchester United has used the team’s recent performance to prove to everyone that this position is not suitable for Pogba, even if you do not coach Deschamps. use. Pogba himself is not very willing to defend, so his sensitivity to defense is not enough. When the opponent steals the ball and counterattacks, his first thought is not to return to defense at full speed. Not to mention defensive skills and awareness. In addition, the defensive coverage of Nzonzi, who is his partner in this field, is not as large as Kanter, so Pogba's defensive weaknesses have been expanded. In terms of offense, his contribution was not enough. In front of the opponent's shrinking defense, it can only provide some transfers of mid-to-long passes, which does not substantially help the offense. Kanter was replaced in the 57th minute.
Pogba is in an awkward situation at the club. Kicking the midfielder, his organization is not as delicate as B Fee. Playing as a midfielder, there is no coverage of Fred and no defensive hardness of McTominay. Can't play three positions in the midfield. Even if Sochau forced a change of 442 to give him an extra position in the midfield, this change directly broke Manchester United's offensive and defensive balance. In attack, he squeezed the position and possession of B Fee, and did not protect his own left when defending, which made Manchester United both offensive and defensive playing awkward. Perhaps only the bench is more suitable for him at this stage.
According to the media, Real Madrid still intends to introduce Pogba to improve the team's midfield, the price is about 60 million. Pogba has expressed his longing for the Bernabeu in public more than once. In a recent Manchester United fan survey conducted by "Man Night", more than 70% of people thought it was time to send him away. When Pogba broke with Mourinho, there may be people who stood by Pogba, thinking that Mourinho would not use him. But now, not many people have defended him who disappointed him in terms of performance, loyalty and professional attitude. Perhaps a decent breakup is a relief for both parties.
