BETTER FOOTBALL TO PLAYED : HOW WILL SANCHEZ FIT?
It takes a great manager to have the courage
to see a club facing a difficult time and take on the challenge to try andy
reconstruct the team back to a title challenging team, it takes an even greater
manager to decide to come into the club and turn the club back to the fearful
team the club once had in one of the biggest league in england. But that is
exactly what Jose Mourinho has done in the two years he has been a Manchester
United manager. Who else but Jose can step into a club that were struggling to
make the top five spot in the Premier League and turn the club to a club sitting in the second spot in the
premier league table. Mourinho is just one of a kind. A manager that take
charge of his team and demand attention of the higher hierarchy in control at
Old Trafford. In mourinho’s first two seasons, the manager wasted no time in
getting to work by bringing huge players like Nemanja Matic, Zlatan
Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku, they along with every other Manchester
United player played crucial part in bringing back hope to the clubs fan base
who were heading for multiple seasons to be dominated by the noisy neighbours
Manchester City. But Mourinho has made sure to keep his club at close proximity
of the top of the table and at the same time making sure to place a piece of
the broken puzzle back in the right place. Looks like the Manager is finally
close to placing the last piece of the puzzle and finally having his dream
team in the Theatre of dreams.
“It’s not finished, we need one or two more players to reach were we want to be at the end of the season.” Words of a manager who only strives to answer the cries of Red Devil fans who want better football played back at the club. It’s amazing just seeing how much Mourinho has connected with the fans of old trafford, the manager last season was mostly quoted multiple times as saying how he was content with the teams current state with Manchester United sitting 15 points behind rivals Manchester City. After a long quiet activity in the middle of this January transfer window the club were finally ready to announce the arrival of Chilean maestro, Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal. That ought to add some fire power to the team for the remaining games of the season. Who would have seen this change coming? What a great pick up for the Red Devils and with the fire power Manchester United have in the team, you have to expect the Red devils to go on a massive good run in the next couple of games and chace down our noisy neighbours Manchester City as well as making sure that the team keeps a good distance away from the teams bellow them. After the arrival of Sanchez in the club, multiple Manchester United players have been spotted showing excitement for the quality the Chilean will add to the team. That shows the strong bond and acceptance the group of players have amongst themselves and should give the team extra belief that the still finish or better and leave the fans with stronger belief that titles can be won if not this season, at least, next season. But now that Alexis Sanchez is completely a Manchester United player through and through, the next question have to deal with the formation issue. What formation will the club choose to deploy this weekend that will satisfy each player and suffice as the clubs strongest squad? There’s been numerous suggestions from papers and sports analyst about which /ormation the Manager will choose to deploy to accommodate the massive strength and quality in the clubs attacking force, with players like Martial, Pogba, Mata, Sanchez and Lukaku, not to mention the number of quality players like Herrera, Lingard, Rashford and Fellaini whom might have trouble starting lots of games this season, the dept of quality in the club is impressive and i'm definitely certain that not everyone will start most games this season, some will play more than the rest. But,
Above are the three best possible formation that the manager could use
for the rest of the season and honestly, If you substitute Anthony Martial for Lingard
and put Martial out wide while Juan Mata moves to the center attacking midfield
in the first United will be able to play better, attractive football and the
amount goals the team will be scoring is expected to be off the chart.
]
In conclusion, if
the manager does decide to deploy the first formation with Mata in the middle
and Martial out wide, the team should be playing free flowing, quality football
with the expectation that if the team keeps playing with quality and win enough
games frequently, the team could still close the gap at the top of
the table. The second formation has Lingard and Sanchez playing a little bit
narrow deployed as a sought of double Center Attacking Midfielders, Lukaku will
also thrive from this situation because not only will Lukaku be able to receive
quality passes from to great passers but he will have the weight of producing
most goals for the club alone lifted off his shoulder due to the ability
players like Sanchez, Mata and Martial have to create with the ball on their
feet. The third formation is slightly different but equally as effective
because Sanchez and Rashford will be moved forward, there by allowing Sanchez
and Rashford to be able to score more goals on their own. Mourinho has
excessive fire power at the moment and the manager should have multiple
formation to use from now on, so it should be interesting watching the team for
the rest of the season.
