742 Manchester United need real Red Devils!
Three consecutive league wins.
Jose Mourinho did not shelter his players after the game.
He appeared at the post-match press conference with a serious, almost cold expression.
When asked by a reporter for his comments on the game.
Mourinho's indifferent tone seems to be an indictment to the outside world as a loser and from a position.
He put it bluntly: "I had a false illusion about the team's success in winning the Champions League last season.
I thought it was a doping shot that would spur the ambition of the whole team, and I was wrong.
I thought that the team had regained their lost glory when they lifted the trophy, and that the trophy would give them the determination and fighting spirit to defend their status, dignity, honour, and I was wrong.
I thought they didn't need to be flogged to be able to squeeze themselves and break through in exhaustion, and I was wrong.
We have some players who have been content with what they have achieved so far in their careers and they think success will come naturally, but unfortunately these players are not the heroes of the team, they are just the beneficiaries of heroism!
I'm not sure how long it will take for them to look like a real Red Devil.
But I knew the team had to make changes and the team needed the real Red Devils to fight on the pitch and do everything they could off the pitch to be a better version of themselves.
We have to admit that the slump of the past few years has made the club a big drop in its appeal to top stars, but United are also fortunate that we now have the best players in the world.
But that doesn't mean we can lower our requirements for players without a bottom line!
Manchester United should make a change, we should show what it takes to challenge for the title, not just the ambition and fighting spirit that just stays in the idea.
I'll be busy next, sorry, bye. ”
Jose Mourinho departed in a swoop.
Fleet Street was excited.
Manchester United are once again in trouble.
And as the team's meritorious manager, Mourinho's posture is tougher than in the past few seasons!
He no longer shelters the team from the wind and rain, and fully exposes those players who live in a comfortable space to the guns of the media!
Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it will always go through the test of wind and rain.
Manchester United legends are on Mourinho's side this time.
If the team fails to win the game, Mourinho's remarks will inevitably be disgusted by many people, as if the inability to win the game is the player's problem.
But Manchester United won.
The process is ugly.
It's as if they've gone through a season and then haven't made any progress.
That's the problem.
Like Roy Keane sprayed directly after the game, saying that if it was his era as captain, he would definitely spray some Manchester United players in the dressing room!
But times are different.
It's rare for players to stiffen their relationships these days.
Ye Yifeng will not put pressure on others in the national team, and it is even more impossible in the club.
Manchester City and Liverpool have both won this round, and the league title race is a long hard work that cannot be distracted or relaxed.
The team atmosphere, which was originally handsome and harmonious, became tense because of Mourinho's remarks.
Naturally, it cannot be to the point of saber rattling.
But there are only a handful of players that Mourinho can trust absolutely.
His trust is not based on personal relationships, but on players who can really risk their lives to win.
On the training ground, there was no situation where everyone was immersed in hard work to make a good impression.
It's still the usual state, but some players have clearly shown a cold attitude towards Mourinho.
Players with a traditional mind will see Mourinho's remarks as a betrayal.
Betrayed the players.
Rebellious players believe that Mourinho is throwing the blame and throwing the reason for the team's poor performance directly on the players.
In short, it's still very common to find a reason to let people go.
United are not just a mess, with David De Gea signing a long-term contract that will be 35 years old at the end of the week.
Romero is probably the only one who is most disappointed by the news.
Now that De Gea has renewed his contract, the position of Manchester United's main goalkeeper must still be his.
In the middle of the week, Yifeng and Tang Mo went shopping, and selected a lot of toys as birthday gifts to send to the dragon brother and the tiger brother to mail back to China.
In addition, Ye Yifeng personally selected a valuable piano and shipped it back to China.
This surprised Tang Modu.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yifeng also hoped to train children to become artists.
Ye Yifeng can also be regarded as a Jackie Chan, if there are children who are really interested and talented, it is good to learn a talent that can be elegant.
Even if he really wants to dance the elderly square dance with Tang Mo when he is old in the future, the child playing the piano accompaniment will definitely make him have a lot of face on his face.
The fourth round of the league is here at the weekend.
Fleet Street is looking forward to Manchester United's starting line-up for this round.
Obviously, whoever is removed from the starting line-up can be seated in the player who is considered Mourinho's grievance.
On 31 August, Manchester United travelled to Southampton.
St. Mary's Stadium.
Southampton fans watched Manchester United's starting XI and couldn't figure out why United had abandoned their martial arts.
Jose Mourinho reactivated the 442 formation.
Goalkeeper: David De Gea.
Defenders: Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw.
Midfielders: Fred, Lingard, Yifeng Yifeng, McTuominay.
Forwards: Daniel James, Romelu Lukaku.
Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were all on the bench.
The trio have been wearing black faces since yesterday's pre-match meeting.
Ye Yifeng actually didn't understand Mourinho's approach.
Look at the bench, then look at the starters.
Anthony Martial or Marcus Rashford should have more certainty than James if they start.
Similarly, Pogba's performance and role after coming on must be more outstanding than Fred or Lingard.
That's why Southampton fans think Manchester United are killing themselves.
Even if they lack some ambition, they may not be fully committed.
But how can the poor version of Pogba compare to Pogba himself?
Maybe that's Mourinho's management philosophy, and he's not trying to get rid of the trio, he's just putting them under pressure, motivating them to do better on the pitch after they have calmed down and reflected.
When the game started, Manchester United, who returned to the 442 technical and tactical system, took the initiative on the field.
Southampton's ability to disrupt the Premier League has declined significantly since stars such as Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk were taken away by the Reds.
At the beginning of the new season, he pulled his hips again, temporarily ranked in the relegation zone, and played very pragmatic and conservative at home.
Manchester United is running with Ye Yifeng as the axis in the front field, and it is gradually getting better.
McTominay and Jesse Lingard flanked him with frequent long-range opportunities.
Romelu Lukaku played the pivot role, while James was given the responsibility of breaking forward.
The change in playing style has improved Ye Yifeng's play space accordingly.
When playing 433, he organized the pass to the limit, because there was only Pogba around him, and it was easy to be surrounded and suppressed if he didn't play.
Now that he has teammates on the left and right sides of his side, he has more options after the ball.
If Southampton intensify their encirclement, he can go straight forward into the box.
Because James and Lukaku are both hovering around the penalty area, unlike when playing 433, the two wingers are still some distance away from the penalty area.
It's just that counting on McTomininet and Lingard to deliver the magic pass is still a bit random and depends on the providence of fate.
However, with increased control of the midfield, United have been able to continue to press their opponents on the pitch, and the poor Pogba's Fred has improved this season after a frustration last season.
Sitting on the bench, the anti-king, the British star, and the French little Henry watched the team shoot continuously, but the quality was a little miserable.
Lingard and McTominay's long-range shots were almost only one of the three that could be seen.
Pogba is not surprised.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng sent a ball close to the ground after receiving Lukaku's return pass to tear apart Southampton's defense, James played a triangle pass against offside, but the hesitation to deal with the ball was not decisive, and the angle was blocked by goalkeeper Gunn, and the small single knife was sent directly into the goalkeeper's arms.
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were not surprised by the scene.
Give them that opportunity and they'll definitely be better than James.
Jose Mourinho applauded from the sidelines, pleased with his team's performance.
The technical and tactical operation and the motivation of the players are fine, what is lacking is quality.
But at least the offense is well done!
Consistently able to threaten.
Manchester United fans can also see the change in the squad, which may not have much to do with the attitude of the players themselves.
It's a question of the technical and tactical system.
In other words, by replacing three on the bench and bringing on two, United may have already scored the back of the net.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng, who set up a turret or sent a straight plug to his teammates, suddenly knocked the ball across the left side when McTuominay plugged in to answer.
Southampton also didn't expect United to shift their attack to the wings.
Luke Shaw came up with an assist and went straight to the ball with his feet and crossed.
Ye Yifeng stepped forward into the penalty area at the same time.
The Southampton defence immediately attacked him, and Lukaku cut diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area to grab the front point, shook his head against the flying football, and the football refracted and flew into the upper left corner of the goal!
The Southampton defense line restrained Ye Yifeng, but he was lonely.
Still conceded a goal!
The Reds will be hugging and celebrating on the sidelines.
Jose Mourinho remained unchanged on the sidelines and seemed to score goals as a matter of course.
Most of the time, United only need to be able to play hard to win the game.
It doesn't take the team to play extraordinarily.
James, Fred, and Lin Huang are indeed not as good as the three demons on the bench, but in front of Southampton, they are not waste.
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are a bit flustered.
Pogba is also emotionally stable.
Watching his team-mates on the pitch hug Lukaku and give him a high-five, he knows a lot about that.
He was on the bench around this time last season, when he still had the arrogance of a World Cup winner.
Well, now, I'm much calmer.
There is still no appetite for Manchester United's refusal to ask for a pay rise and contract extension.
It's really not a thing.
Although Lao Tzu is not the C hero of the team's double cup winning last season, there must be hard work and credit.
And to say how many players can replace them is absolutely ridiculous.
Not to mention unique, it is definitely a rare variety.
Manchester United don't cherish it.
Whether the team is doing well or badly now, Pogba doesn't particularly care.
There is no deliberate messing, but there is a lack of consciousness on the ground.
As for what Mourinho said, he didn't care.
The World Cup, the Champions League, the Europa League, the top league titles, the local cup titles, he has already won them.
There is only one national team away from the European Championship to achieve a career Grand Slam.
What could be more serious at the club?
It's better to have a good time, and it's easier than anything else.
