When Rangnick, the godfather of German tactics, meets Hassenhuttl, who also emphasizes pressing and attacking-defensive transitions, the game naturally takes on an end-to-end high tempo, which is exactly what the

The desired scene.

Fast and smooth frontcourt coordination has always been their strength in the attacking end. In this game, no matter it was a counter-attack or a sudden rush attack after using backcourt transmission to create space for attacking, all of them relied on the coordination of the frontcourt to create a threat. Among them, Sancho kept using sudden acceleration and change of direction to challenge the opponent's defense.
Manchester United Football Club
The biggest highlight on the offensive end. A counterattack saw B Fay release Rashford on the right wing and a cross in the box found Sancho to finish the tapin and help give his team the lead.
Southampton's offense also had a good performance (especially in the last 15 minutes of the first half), after the break in front of the field, they quickly switched sides to draw the opponent's defense, and the positional play created an area of superiority to create space for crosses or shots. In fact, in the first half, Southampton had a slight 7-5 advantage in the number of shots on goal. They continued their momentum at the end of the first half, and shortly after the start of the second half, the opponent's missed Adams dipped into the penalty area, received a pass and kicked to equalize the score.
After that, there were a couple of good chances on both sides of the ball, the

Two free kicks, one in front of the opponents' goal, and a Maguire header denied by a fine save from Forster; Armstrong and Broja each had a chance from a diagonal cut down the wing, and, similar to the opening game, a high tempo back-and-forth attack was maintained.
Late in the game, two consecutive substitutions of frontcourt personnel for the

Southampton were the more aggressive attacking side, while Southampton did not give up the chance to counterattack, although they clearly had the desire to slow down the game. In the end, both sides failed to score the winning goal and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

The reason for the loss of the goal came from the midfield's inactivity in defense, the opponent's wingback to attract Dalot, the midfield to attract Varane, so Adams was missed, the imbalance between attack and defense was

The arrival of Rangnick has not been able to solve the fundamental problems of the team. After dropping another point, the other rivals in the race for fourth place are looking at us with a vengeance.

Seagulls' passing game pecks through Hornets' defense
Watford's 65% passing success rate and 28.5% possession rate in the first half clearly showed their game plan - to defend and wait for the counterattack to attack. I believe Hodgson's style will not be dissatisfied with the time of possession, in the offensive end, mainly Dennis use individual ability to create confusion, one of the opportunities Veltman in the side of the scramble lost, Dunk followed up on the grab was over, Watford used this as a start, kicked a wave of very threatening attack; defensive end, they also will be the opponent's shot number greatly limited, and did not expose too many loopholes. They didn't expose too many holes.
Brighton
The game was played with three fullbacks, with Lamptey being particularly far forward, often dropping the ball before they could get back to the backline, and the opponent's quick attack was already over (there were no defensive problems as Veltman was defending the wing and Lallana was back to fill in the gap). The result of this bold move was immediate - the width of the attack allowed Lamptey to cross from the right, and Maupay benefited from a short-lived chance on goal from an over-submerged defense to take the lead.
The second half started as an attacking game for Watford, with Sarr on the right side of the pitch at half-time, and Dennis on the left side of the pitch. One of their closest moments to scoring came when he escaped from a three-man tackle and hit the crossbar from inside the penalty area. The continued threat of attacking kept the Seagulls too busy trying to clear the ball to secure possession.
Thereafter.
Brighton
The addition of Bissouma helped the team regain their dominance. After a few threatening attacks, a corner kick at the end of the game was completed by Webster's 2 shots in front of the goal, officially sealing the end of the game.
