When the players finished celebrating and returned to the court to play, Ye Su was finally able to get up. He tidied up his messed-up suit and his hair, which was messed up by the players, and then... walked towards the player tunnel.

He planned to go back to the locker room. The first half of the game was coming to an end soon. He wanted to go back first. He planned to take advantage of the intermission to make some adjustments to the team's second half of the game.

As soon as Ye Su returned to the locker room, the first half ended and the players returned to the locker room very quickly.

Throughout the first half, Manchester United's advantage was too obvious. Their ball possession rate is as high as 70%, and their shooting is far ahead by 14:1. Of their 14 shots, 10 of them hit the target, and 4 of them were scored.

In fact, if it weren't for Norwich goalkeeper Rudy's good performance, Manchester United would definitely score more than 4 goals in the first half. Rudy blocked Manchester United's 4 must-goal opportunities at least. If the goalkeeper is unreliable, Norwich may concede in double digits in the first half.

And Norwich's shot did not hit the goal frame.

Because the team played perfectly in the first half, Ye Su did not make too many changes to the team's tactics. He just asked the players to strengthen midfield control in the second half.

Now that the team has led by four goals, it is inevitable to win this game. However, because this is already the end of the season, the physical condition of the players is generally not very good, so he has to consider reducing the physical consumption of the players, otherwise there may be problems in the next few games.

There are still two weeks left in the season, but the team still has three league games to play, and the schedule is still very dense. Especially from May 3rd to May 11th, the team will play three games in eight days, which is a severe test for everyone.

In the team's next game, the opponent is Sunderland. The Black Cats are still the deputy squad leader of the league. Although they have one less game like Manchester United, the pressure to relegation is still very high. At that time, they will definitely fight against Manchester United. Everything else can be dropped.

………………

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and the second half of the game resumed.

During the intermission, the major media were talking about Ye Su. This Oriental who appeared in front of the world for the first time, made his debut at Old Trafford, which can be said to have amazed the world. Under his command, Manchester United played offensive football and scored four goals in half the game. The offensive firepower of the Red Devils was absolutely fierce.

Although Manchester United can be regarded as regaining Sir Alex Ferguson's tactics, it is hard to see what Ye Su's uniqueness in tactics is, but judging from the performance of Manchester United players in the first half, Ye Su's employment and psychological adjustment of players, Still quite capable.

After the start of the second half, neither side made personnel adjustments.

After Manchester United's kick-off, more passes were made in the midfield and there were no obvious opportunities. Carrick, as the team's offensive hub, never took any risk of passing the ball forward.

As the core of the team's offense, Rooney and Mata also frequently retreated to the midfield to respond to the team's passes.

In fact, at this time, Manchester United did not have an obvious forward, and it was considered to be playing without a forward. However, the team hoarded seven players in the midfield. In the midfield, not only did they have a numerical advantage, but the strength of the players also had a clear advantage. The midfield strength completely crushed Norwich.

Under such circumstances, Manchester United completely controlled the midfield. They no longer pursued forward passes like they did in the first half, and focused more on controlling the scene.

But it's not that we don't move forward, but that we don't have good opportunities to not move forward. But once a good opportunity arises, the team's forward pass is also very resolute.

At this time, Manchester United had three good passers in the midfield. With Carrick as a defensive midfielder, plus Mata and Rooney who crossed and retreated, Norwich could not block Manchester United's passing route at all.

On the other hand, Ashley Young and Nani, who are on the two wings, are cruising on the two wings, threatening Norwich's defense at all times.

………………

Under Manchester United's strong control, Norwich's defense persisted very hard. Faced with the constant mobilization of Manchester United's midfield, their defensive players can only respond with more running.

However, the speed of the ball is always faster than that of people. Especially after an hour of the game, when the players' physical fitness is approaching the limit.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Norwich's defense once again had a loophole.

Originally, Manchester United was passing slowly in the midfield, which confused the Norwich players and caused their defensive attention to be temporarily inattentive.

Mata discovered this keenly, and a long diagonal pass was transferred in a wide range to find Valencia on the right.

After Valencia took the ball, the Norwich defenders failed to keep up with Valencia in the first place, which gave Valencia a chance to break through.

The Ecuadorian sprinted along the flank and tore through Norwich's defense in an instant.

For a while, Norwich's defense fell apart. Some players retreated in a hurry, and some went to surround Valencia.

In the high-speed assault, Valencia did not pass the ball to Nani who was on his side, nor did he rush down to the bottom, but suddenly swept the ball to the middle.

He saw an open space in front of Norwich's box and saw that as an opportunity.

The ball passed through three Norwich defenders and landed in the open area in front of the top of the penalty area.

Evra plugged in and easily controlled the ball.

At this time, almost all Norwich defensive players were retreating in a panic, and no one came to defend Evra at all, which gave Evra a chance to easily dribble the ball.

Seeing Evra heading straight for the penalty area with the ball, the Norwich defenders who were still retreating panicked and sent out their hands to defend Evra's assault.

In front of the penalty area, Rooney and Ashley Young advanced at the same time.

When Evra dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he was about to encounter Norwich's defenders. He pretended to force a breakthrough, but a pass passed without looking at anyone, and he swept the ball to the middle with his left foot.

In the arc of the penalty area, Rooney controlled the ball under the cover of Ashley Young at the front point, and then took a turn at the ball that bounced off the ground before the Norwich players flew over to block it.

At that moment, the ball was like a fired shell, whistling and heading straight for the goal. At this moment, Norwich goalkeeper Rudy was a little dizzy because of Manchester United's continuous transfer of the ball just now, and his reaction was a little slower.

Then, the ball that came straight to the goal, before Rudy made a save, had passed by him and flew into the goal behind him.

5:0, Rooney scored a hat-trick!

………………

Not long after Rooney's goal, Ye Su made personnel adjustments. The two major goal scorers Rooney and Mata were replaced, and Xiaopea Hernandez and Kagawa Shinji replaced them.

Rooney and Mata, who were excited to kill, were still a little unhappy, but Ye Su's words made them happy.

Ye Su told them that there are still three games waiting for them to conquer. They have already beaten Norwich badly enough today, and if they have the strength, they will save it to deal with the remaining teams such as Sunderland.

Of course, the two were able to stabilize their emotions quickly because they both achieved excellent results in this game. One staged a hat-trick, one scored twice, and their performances were absolutely satisfactory, including themselves.

However, Norwich's conceded goals did not stop there, because in the 73rd minute of the game, their city gate fell again.

After Manchester United replaced Rooney and Mata in succession, their control over the ball has decreased. After all, compared with Mata, the ability of the Japanese is still somewhat behind. And Xiaopea and Rooney are completely different types. He hardly has the ball-handling ability of Rooney.

Under such circumstances, Norwich finally won some possessions.

However, this is also in line with Manchester United's style at the moment. They are now playing defensive counterattacks. Ashley Young and Nani on the two wings are extremely fast players, and Pea Hernandez's speed is not slow, coupled with ghostly running positions, and his speed is slower than Mata's. With Shinji Kagawa speaking faster, Manchester United fought back like a duck to water.

And the team's goal in the 73rd minute of the game was such a textbook-like quick counterattack goal.

Norwich fought back with all their strength, trying to score a face-saving goal, but the pass was intercepted by Phil Jones.

Carrick splits the ball with a long pass, and Evra passes the ball back to the center.

Shinji Kagawa advanced with the ball, attracted Norwich's defensive attention and then split the side again.

Ashley Young made a breakthrough from the wing, Nani and Xiaopea advanced at high speed, forming a three-pointed arrow with Professor Yang on the left, and the clever Xiaopea used Nani who was more forward to attract firepower, and cleverly hidden away.

When Ashley Young's cross arrived, the Mexican hitman burst out, one step ahead of the Norwich defenders, and poked the ball into the Norwich goal.

6:0!

………………

At this time, Norwich has basically been beaten to collapse.

In the subsequent games, although they were still launching some attacks, the players' fighting will was obviously not as strong as before. They are very clear that losing face at Old Trafford today is a fact, and basically there is no chance of saving face.

Ye Su also dealt the third card at this time, he replaced Nani with Welbeck.

The Portuguese winger was a little depressed. He felt good in this game, but the result was nothing. The team scored six goals, all of which had nothing to do with him. Not only did he not score a goal, he didn't even have an assist.

The first half was better, at least he had a lot of chances to shoot, but in the second half, Manchester United changed tactics. Under the ball possession tactics, his breakthrough on the wing almost lost its use.

After Manchester United's substitution, he had just resumed his activity on the wing, but he did not expect to be replaced soon.

Therefore, when he came to the sidelines to make substitutions, although he had a high-five with Welbeck, who came off the bench, and the interim coach Ye Su, there was no verbal communication.

And the last fifteen minutes of the game were basically just going through the motions. This made the head coach not give any stoppage time, and the whistle for the end of the game was blown at the end of the 90th minute.
