I brush achievements in football

After the game started, Manchester United intended to control the game.

In the midfield Mourinho sent five players, the main goal is for this.

However, it is a bit sad that because Pogba is not on the field, Manchester United actually lacks a midfield core.

Mata has this ability, but he is no longer the same Mata as before. It is difficult for him to play such a role in the face of Southampton's midfield pressure.

In addition, Rashford is actually a forward, so in the midfield, it is still four against four.

After having a midfield core like De Bruyne, it is not a big problem for Southampton to gain an advantage in the midfield.

Manchester United can only strengthen the running and confrontation of the midfield to compete with Southampton's technology.

Their midfielders can run, except that Mata is a bit lazy, in fact, Mkhitaryan is also a very active midfielder. His overall performance in Manchester United is not very good, but that is a tactical problem. A standard No. [-], but Manchester United asked him to pay more in midfield, so his performance was also affected.

However, after the Southampton experience, his running and tandem abilities are not bad in themselves.

Manchester United's first shot came from Mkhitaryan. After receiving a pass from Mata outside the penalty area, he decisively took a long shot. Gulac, who was in a good position, confiscated the ball.

Southampton quickly launched a counterattack. Valverde and Cancelo made a two-for-one cross from the right. Ashley Young blocked the ball out of the baseline with his body. Corner, De Blau A corner kick was taken inside, DePaul kicked a shot from inside the penalty area in the melee, and the ball was slightly wide of the far post.

These two shots opened the prelude to the game's offense.

Southampton has the advantage of possession of the ball, which allows them to continuously attack, and Manchester United's style of play is relatively simple. The speed of the players is not slow.

This kind of confrontation between the two sides will definitely bring about a fast pace and certain mistakes on the court.

In the No. 20 minute of the game, Southampton made a defensive mistake.

In a fast attack, Southampton had already delayed the opponent's attack in the midfield, but Manchester United launched a second attack. Mkhitaryan scored the ball to the left. Against Cancelo's defense, he continued to shake, dodged a gap in the cross, and then passed the ball into the penalty area with a curve ball. Lukaku quickly moved laterally to shake off Maguire's defense, and Rudiger Lukaku took off from the edge of the small penalty area and shook his head to attack the goal!

Gulac made a wonderful save. He barely blocked the ball sideways, but the ball returned to Lukaku who landed.

"The goal is scored! Lukaku! Six goals in six rounds! After his excellent performance last season, Lukaku also had a wonderful performance this season. He used his own goals to lead Manchester United to continuous victories!"

Instead of celebrating during the chanting of the commentators, Lukaku returned to his own half and the Southampton fans didn't boo him either, they always seem lenient when it comes to ex-players who don't celebrate .

The Manchester United fans who came from afar were very excited. They shouted loudly and celebrated the team's lead in the away game.

Mourinho has a characteristic of leading the team. He may play ugly, but as long as he takes the lead, he will basically win.

After all, they will stick to their defenses, and then counterattack to implicate the opponent's attack, and then drag the game into a quagmire. Although the game process will be ugly, Mourinho's team will accept the three-pointer without any risk...

Of course, this is not necessarily the case, but there is a great possibility.

Judging from the course of the next game, Mourinho seems to be able to do it again.

After the game re-kick-off, Manchester United started a crazy press and confrontation in the midfield, which made it difficult for Southampton to find a chance to score although they had the advantage of possession.

Southampton's midfielders are good at taking and passing the ball. With their continuous passing, Southampton's possession rate has completely suppressed Manchester United, but it is difficult to find opportunities to score.

Their protection in the penalty area and at the front of the penalty area is quite tight. Matic and Fellaini's protection at the front of the penalty area is quite in place. The two tall midfielders are walking barriers. In addition, the two central defenders in the penalty area are confronted head-on. Yes, Valencia and Professor Yang are also very active wide players. Although they are attackers, their defensive and confrontation capabilities are also good.

Under such a defense, Southampton completely lost its usual offensive momentum, and there were very few offensives.

For a full 10 minutes, they only relied on DePaul's long-range shot to complete an attack, which was easily confiscated by De Gea.

"Mourinho's training of Manchester United's defense is very successful! Looking at their desperate appearance, I can see the shadows of Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid that Mourinho has coached! What Manchester United lacks now is not actually in the attack. Genius, but tenacity in defense, Mourinho can bring this to them, Manchester United this season is still very exciting!"

The commentators shouted that Manchester United's defense so far is really encouraging. Facing Southampton's offensive, they used active running to block Southampton's attack from the midfield, and then blocked Southampton's attack in the penalty area. With his fierce defensive momentum and fighting spirit, Southampton's offense hardly found any good opportunities.

It is indeed not easy to achieve this, at least after Ferguson retired, Manchester United rarely saw such a scene of unity.

Of course, this is also related to Mourinho's iron fist. For example, Martial, who performed well in the first two rounds, was taken down by him because he didn't actively run and participate in defense on the field. Mata, because although Mata is a bit lazy in this regard, he will still do it when he arranges the running task.

When Mourinho can suppress the team with performance and wrist, his team's combat effectiveness is always very good.

In addition, the effect is really good, so the players are willing to work hard for such a result.

To put it bluntly, if a coach wants players to fight hard on the court, he has to come up with something, whether it is to let the players see the hope of victory and honor, or you as a coach to convince them, in short, it is to let the players have something besides salary. Don't rush forward, otherwise, just do your duty, do you need to work harder?
