Manchester - Former Manchester United midfielder and captain, Bryan Robson, Louis van Gaal suggested to play Marouane Fellaini in the Manchester derby. The reason, Fellaini has the physical strength to help the 'Red Devils' fight in the midfield.
After a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at the weekend, United continue their journey in the Premier League encounter with Manchester City this weekend, Sunday (02/11/2014). Last season, not even United can beat city rivals it.
Therefore, the derby this time have important meaning for United. Besides take full points to boost their position in the standings, the 'Red Devils' obviously do not want to lose anymore of his rivals.
However, given the City as Chelsea midfielder --punya-first-class midfielder and sturdy for encounters fisik--, United need more than just a quarterback-creative midfielder to compete in midfield. This is where, according to Robson, Fellaini needed.
Robson said, the reason Fellaini inserted into the starting XI when it is to guard against Chelsea tight Cesc Fabregas once fought with Nemanja Matic who has the physical ability to duel. This can be applied to recall City have players like Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany in the middle at the back.
"I think that's why Louis van Gaal played in the game against Chelsea. Chelsea are a very tough team," Robson said in the Manchester Evening News.
"They should be physically strong in the game against Chelsea and Manchester City, because if they are weak, they will be crushed by both.""Chelsea and City are a team that is very strong physically and they were successful. I can see Fellaini will be played again considering he is
player who takes United to face City, "said Robson.
Van Gaal had some reason to play Fellaini. Dutch manager was always emphasized the philosophy of the game on creative players like Angel Di Maria, Juan Mata or Ander Herrera. However, after a few games in the Premier League, Van Gaal began to realize that in order to play in the Premier League also required physical strength.
Even in the game against West Bromwich Albion, a week before the game against Chelsea, Van Gaal dare pull out Herrera at halftime and play Fellaini. Evidently, Fellaini was able to score one goal and provide the physical strength required United in midfield.
"We also have to look at the talents which can fight physically, and maybe that's our problem," said Van Gaal as reported by Sky Sports.
"I am a coach who used to think about creative players. But, in the UK you need physical strength of players in the team and Fellaini is one such player."(detikSport)
