The Premier League opener between Manchester United and Swansea City took place at Swansea’s home ground, the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea City came into the match with the 4-2-3-1 formation that has become a trend recently. Manchester United adopted a 4-4-2 diamond formation against Swansea City.
Van Persie and Ronaldo were positioned as the two top strikers, and Ferguson instructed them to move wide between the center and the wings and attack the half-spaces.
I’m an attacking midfielder in the formation, but in reality I play free.
In defense, he worked with Michael Carrick, who played as a defensive midfielder, to protect the back four, and in attack, he was responsible for making forward passes and directly hitting the penalty box.
‘… Isn’t this 23/24 Real Madrid?’
After the departure of starting striker Karim Benzema, Carlo Ancelotti’s tactics of using Vinicius and Rodrygo as a two-top and Jude Bellingham as a false nine came to mind.
Well… It wasn’t exactly the same as Ancelotti’s tactics. Unlike Real Madrid, who was trying to fill the void of their main striker, Manchester United had an outstanding striker named Van Persie, but instead, they were missing a right winger.
‘Real Madrid’s midfield was Modric, Valverde and Kroos, but we had Cleverley.’
With Ferguson not retiring, Cleverley was performing similarly to last season, but objectively, he was not a player worthy of playing for a club like Manchester United.
‘If it were Maenggu, wouldn’t he know…?’
Still, it wasn’t as bad as I thought, because Michael Carrick, who played as a defensive midfielder, was showing off his outstanding skills.
With his high activity level and good anticipation, Carrick blocked passing routes and reliably protected the back four, providing stability to Manchester United’s aging defense.
But even a character can’t lie about his age. His success rate of forward passes, which used to be his strength, has clearly decreased compared to his prime.
In the original history, this problem was solved by Rooney coming down, but Rooney, who was dissatisfied with his salary, was traded to Hojok.
In the end, I had to take on the role that Rooney played.
Cleverley’s careless forward pass to Van Persie was intercepted and Swansea City launched a counterattack.
Michael Carrick stopped Swansea’s counterattack with a neat tackle that only touched the ball.
“Jin-ho!”
The character who was looking around passed the ball to me who came down to receive it.
As soon as I got the ball, Swansea City started applying pressure quickly.
“Watch your back!”
After hearing Michael Carrick’s warning, I decided to use my physicality in earnest to celebrate my entry into the Premier League.
Third year of regression.
‘Back to back.’
My body has now finished growing.
Height: 185cm.
It was due to the regular life of going to bed early and waking up early to improve eating habits and manage his condition, but although his height was slightly taller than expected during the medical test conducted in Dortmund, it did not significantly affect his play.
‘Exactly.’
Rather, it was more helpful because he was able to survive in the Premier League, which is famous for its rough physical fights, thanks to his growth that was greater than expected.
‘Exactly.’
I took the pressure off Swansea City with a back brace that would make even football physicist John Obi Mikel cry.
It’s like being Sun Tzu-ryong on the field.
As I swept through the midfield, shaking off the pressure, Van Persie and Ronaldo moved wide to the flanks.
Naturally, Swansea’s defensive line followed van Persie and Ronaldo, leaving plenty of space in the centre.
I dug into the space created by van Persie and Ronaldo.
As the shooting angle opens up.
Swansea City midfielder Jose Canas desperately tries to stop a long-range shot.
I broke through by putting the ball between the legs of Jose Canas, who was off balance.
“Gino!”
“If you respect me, pass to me, Son Jin-ho!”
At the same time, two troublemakers are demanding passes.
My pick was van Persie.
“Son Jin-ho! Why!”
As I passed to Van Persie, the lad grumbled.
After the game, a lengthy message was sent to my smartphone, but I did not regret my choice.
Well, objectively, Van Persie’s position was better.
And as if to repay my faith, Van Persie fired a shot between the goalkeeper’s legs after a neat first touch.
A shaking goal net and a frustrated Swansea City goalkeeper.
Van Persie ran to the corner flag and celebrated, and Ronaldo just smiled and congratulated Van Persie on his goal.
I nodded, looking at Ferguson, who was raising both arms.
If I had to evaluate Ferguson’s tactics for this match in one sentence… .
“If you get hit once, just hit three times.”
It could be said that they were a Manchester United team with a lot of firepower.
***
The triangle consisting of Ronaldo, Son Jin-ho, and Van Persie was a terror to the Swansea City defenders.
While Left-back and Uefa were lethal, the one who was most irritating to Swansea City’s players was Son Jin-ho.
Son Jin-ho, who swept through Swansea City’s camp as if he were stirring up his own home, caused stress to the Swansea City players.
‘That kid really sucks at soccer.’
Son Jin-ho would hit a mid-range shot whenever the pressure seemed to ease even a little, and when Swansea players pressed, he would slip a killer pass to Ronaldo or Van Persie in the open space.

After being tossed around by Manchester United’s attack, I came to my senses and the score was already 6 to 3.
Swansea City managed to score three goals against Manchester United, who were classified as one of the Premier League’s big four.
In return, he had to sacrifice two goals each to the three members of the Peach Garden Oath.
[Michael Carrick successfully intercepts the pass. Carrick passes to Cleverley.]
Manchester United continued to pressure Swansea City despite scoring six goals.
[Michael Carrick is showing a very stable performance as a defensive midfielder in this match.]
Michael Carrick, who focused on defense rather than offense, showed the appearance of a perfect defensive midfielder.
[The moment I spoke, Son Jin-ho received the ball from Cleverley! Son Jin-ho stabs straight forward! This time, I saw Ronaldo!]
Cleverley, who was relieved of the burden of forward passing, also performed better than expected.
[Cristiano Ronaldo!!]
As Ronaldo entered the penalty box, he stopped him by pulling on his jersey.
The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.
[Taken!!! Referee Philip Dowd! Penalty kick!]
└ Wow lol Man U’s attack power is crazy.
└ Who takes the penalty kick?
└ Won’t Van Persie take the lead?
└ Ronaldo might get kicked.
└ Is there no chance of our brother getting hit?
└ Let’s go for a hat trick in PL debut~~
[Yes. This is a clear penalty… huh? Were there differences of opinion between Van Persie and Ronaldo? The two players raising their voices.]
└ ??? What is this? Why are they fighting all of a sudden?
└ Hey… Why are you guys fighting all of a sudden?
***
A dispute broke out between Ronaldo and Van Persie over the penalty kick decision.
“The penalty kick is my job as the starting striker.”
“This penalty kick is one I earned, so it’s right for me to kick it.”
The Peach Garden Oath was shattered in three days.
It was a heart-pounding moment to see Ban Tong-su and Ho-jok fighting over a single penalty kick, forgetting even the cause.
Worried that our friendship might be damaged, I quickly stepped in to mediate to preserve the peace of our time.
“Son Jin-ho. I should kick this. I was the one who earned the penalty kick.”
Ronaldo, the outlaw on the field who insists he should be the one to do it.
“Yes, your argument is correct.”
Then, the little child inside me who was watching that scene retorted.
“I’m the penalty kick taker.”
I also accepted Van Persie’s opinion.
“Your argument is also correct.”
As we both agreed, Ronaldo and Van Persie looked at me with a look of like, “What the heck is this kid?”
“Both of you are right, so I will take the lead.”
I gave the sentence to the two with a benevolent smile. Both Hojok and Ban Tongsu united in protest at the brilliant verdict, which seemed to have been inspired by Solomon.
“Let’s go with Robin today.”
Ferguson was seen chewing gum and looking exasperated on the Manchester United bench as time ran out due to a penalty issue, and it was ultimately decided that the penalty would be taken by Van Persie.
Van Persie scored a penalty to complete his hat-trick, Cristiano Ronaldo was upset, and I wanted to go home and hug Ha-eun.
It was only the end of the first round of the Premier League. The three of us were in dire straits.
‘Was it the Munich Agreement or the Peach Garden Oath?’

[Overwhelming Attack, Hidden Defensive Instability Behind It?]
└ Ah;; Please recruit a defender;;
└ If it weren’t for De Gea, it could have been a draw ㅅㅂ;;;
└ It would have been a little funny if it had been a 7-7 draw ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Manchester United, internal division after just 1 round of Premier League?]
└ It’s been a mess since the opening game of the Premier League;;
└ Shouldn’t Van Persie be the one to take the kick? Van Persie is the dedicated kicker.
└ That was before Ronaldo came. If Ronaldo had come, wouldn’t he have quietly given up his position as the dedicated kicker?
[Alex Ferguson, “My mistake was not to have decided before the game.”]
