1065 Prepare for the second round showdown!
There are 3 rounds left in the Premier League.
With just one weekend between the two legs of the Champions League semi-final, even believing Red Devils fans are worried about whether they will survive the toughest of stages.
Carrick made his decision before the weekend league kick-off.
In the second leg against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford, Manchester United will have to be proactive and brave at a technical and tactical level!
Play your own style.
This is also the focus of the team's preparation and training.
And when it came to the weekend's league trip to Brighton, Manchester United's starting line-up surprised everyone.
Goalkeeper: David De Gea.
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof, Bailly, Telles.
Midfielders: McTominay, Lin Huang, Nemanja Matic.
Forwards: Sancho, Yifeng Yifeng, Greenwood.
Rotated most of the team's main force.
And the most important defensive line has also been rotated!
Carrick knew it would be risky, but he had to do it in order to give the team's main players in midfield a better rest and preparation.
They want to build up physical strengths.
Otherwise, the gap between Manchester United and Bayern Munich as a whole will make them doomed at home!
Carrick actually has utilitarian thoughts in his heart.
The league has 3 rounds.
Even if they drop points away from home today, they still have a chance to chase them.
But if they are eliminated at home to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, then he is likely to leave at the end of the season with Mitokuko.
Grades are the medicine for his life.
Because the Glazer family doesn't care about grades, they will do everything they can to squeeze the club's commercial potential when the financial situation is improving!
There is no doubt that a manager with a star halo is more to their liking.
Carrick wasn't sure how many titles he needed to win before he could transform himself into a star champion coach.
But now we can only take one step at a time.
Brighton have had a good season, and manager Graham Potter is one of the most acclaimed figures in the Premier League's mid-generation, and Arsenal will be very competitive if they change managers.
After all, Arsenal are not in the slightest attraction to big-name managers right now.
Brighton, who are expected to secure a Europa League spot, are very resolute in their home goal of stealing points.
Seeing Manchester United's rotation lineup, morale is even higher.
After the start of the game, Brighton ran aggressively and attacked and defended at a very fast pace.
Although they didn't dare to attack and suppress Manchester United like the giants, their overall performance was better in the tug-of-war, with less personal color and more overall fast-in and fast-out cooperative impact.
Starting centre-forward Ye Yifeng fed shells to Greenwood and Sancho in the middle of the front, and the performance of the two was quite acceptable, and a few shots in succession were quite threatening.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to score.
In the 19th minute of the game, March, who was on the right side of Brighton's fast attack, cut into the inside line to receive Lallana's pass, and crossed directly with his feet without stopping the ball.
The ball crossed an arc and fell into the left rib of the penalty area, and Lindelof missed again!
The ball was almost flying overhead before turning to block, and Brighton's left winger Maude made it into the left flank of the penalty area to meet it and volleyed it over the spot.
If a top player directly volleys, the defender can't defend it.
However, if the opponent is given the space to calmly stop the ball and adjust before shooting, it is obvious that there is a problem with the defense.
David De Gea was smashed into the far corner.
The Brighton crowd will celebrate wildly.
Seagulls fans were also smiling.
They haven't experienced it, so most of them can't understand the last-minute game in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
I just thought Manchester United was beaten stupidly by the Southern King in Munich again!
Hehe.
The Red Devils come to the door today to send warmth!
How can this not be laughed at?
Manchester United are one goal down away.
De Gea didn't bother to curse the back line in front of him.
Bailly was completely a make-up for the numbers, and Lindelof let him be left alone was not the material at all.
If they could wake up, one of them would not become invisible, and the other would lose his main position.
Red Devils fans looked helpless.
At the same time, there is inevitably a feeling of apprehension.
If this game is drawn, Manchester United will most likely be the leader by virtue of goal difference.
But if you lose the game.
The top spot is about to be handed away.
Manchester United are certainly not without a backhand.
There was a main player sitting on the bench.
Manchester United kicked off, Ye Yifeng was crazy in the front court, and because Brighton played a back five formation, he had less space to advance head-on.
He kept playing for the three big British stars, and Manchester United's attack was still very fluid.
It's just that the quality of the kick in the door is too touching.
Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood each missed a good chance.
The scene is lively, only flowering but not fruiting.
In the 37th minute of the game, Brighton launched a fast attack at the back, a wave of rapid counterattacks penetrated the right side, and then when the cross was sent to the middle of the penalty area, center forward Trossard jumped in front of Bailly and scored with a powerful header!
The ball flew straight to the top right corner of the goal, and De Gea was once again powerless!
He was actually busier than the Brighton goalkeeper today, and he had already blocked the opponent's shots from various angles near and far.
But this time there was nothing that could be done.
The Brighton crowd celebrated with great excitement!
Every Seagull fan is convinced that they can knock out the defending champions Manchester United today!
Ye Yifeng looked serious, and gestured and shouted to the British Emperor Star behind the left and behind him before kick-off, and he couldn't play like before.
They have a lot of opportunities, but they also have a strong ability to waste them.
Instead of this, it is better to play patiently and improve the quality of the attack!
Graham Potter has no intention of retrenching his defence, it's still early, and he's hoping his team can keep up the momentum.
There are two if there is one.
There are two and three!
If you can score one more goal, Manchester United will be completely cool!
Carrick shouted to the team on the sidelines, telling them to strengthen their offense, and the backcourt should not defend properly, and the sniper team was online!
Some players can't really count on it.
This is not a critical moment, but it is still dropping the chain every day.
United switched their style of play, with Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood cutting inside and switching to feeding Ye Yifeng and Lin Huang cannonballs.
Alex Telles and Diogo Dalot on the flanks also provided assists to provide firepower.
Manchester United have regained their traditional wings.
In fact, from the perspective of the scene, it is not as explosive as the winger's crazy inward cut.
But when Ye Yifeng scored with a header, Seagull fans were shocked.
Goalkeeper Alexis Sanchez made a brilliant save on the ball.
As the first half drew to a close, Brighton retreated to try to take a two-goal lead into the dressing room.
At this time, Greenwood collided with Telles on the left and slotted into the left side of the box.
The ball changed direction and hit the baseline before hitting the offensive depth advantage, and then reversed the triangle to pass the ball back.
Ye Yifeng stopped the ball in front of the penalty spot and shot with his feet, but there was a defender in front of him to block his shooting angle, so he made a small move to the right to adjust, but there was a defender in front of him.
There is also a back waist Bisso Malay to force the back, Ye Yifeng retreated, lightning pulled the ball and turned to complete the dodge, while observing the situation in the rear, Lin Huang was closely marked by the back waist Mweken, Ye Yifeng passed the ball back to the line where McTuominai was inserted.
McTominay just entered the penalty area and met the ball and hit the goal directly.
The football flew straight to the goal like a cannonball, and the goalkeeper Sanchez flew to save it to the naked eye, and it was obvious that it was slow!
The soccer ball flew into the goal!
Manchester United chase a goal back!
McTuominay raised his fists high after breaking the goal, and then rushed to hug Ye Yifeng.
Ye Yifeng encouraged his teammates to make persistent efforts!
Brighton fans are a little panicked.
A two-goal lead becomes a one-goal lead.
The psychological gains and losses are obviously very serious.
Half time over.
Brighton 2:1 Manchester United.
Carrick returned to the locker room and immediately gave the team a chicken blood and chicken soup.
They say they are definitely stronger than Brighton, but in their hearts they are mostly disgusted by the sluggishness of the defence.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Brighton changed their style of play to counter-attack, Graham Potter was good at training Brighton, but in terms of experience, courage and sensitivity to the development of the game, it was much worse than the top coaches.
The game was in Brighton's favour, but it was a bit of a cowardice because a goal was recovered.
If they can play as hard as they did at the start of the first half and keep the United defence under pressure, there will certainly be danger in the defence.
But it's definitely a five-to-five game.
Now they are withdrawing to fight back.
Manchester United, on the other hand, were able to make the snipers work.
As long as the backcourt player is not the last defender, the others can only foul the opponent when they threaten, giving the offensive time and space.
United's two full-backs took turns to get up front, with Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood playing on the flanks and feeding threatening balls into the box.
In the 62nd minute of the game, when the cross sent by Sancho flew to the middle of the penalty area, Ye Yifeng took the initiative to run one step ahead of the central defender Dunk, stepped on the point to meet the ball and directly volleyed the right-footed arch pad!
The ball flew to the top right of the middle of the goal, and goalkeeper Sanchez raised his hand in surrender.
Manchester United equalis!
Seagull fans are dumbfounded!
How to send warmth first and then stab the knife?
The Brighton generals are in a hurry!
The two-goal lead was tied with the score.
Is this the rhythm that is going to be overturned?
Carrick temporarily dismissed the idea of switching to the main force to fight the fire.
Look again!
Brighton was impetuous, and the players were visibly impatient on the pitch.
After all, Manchester United's backcourt snipers have repeatedly used foul costs to stifle their fast breaks, and they are also engaging in mentality!
In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester United attacked quickly.
Telles went down the left side and crossed back, Greenwood cut inside into the left rib of the penalty area, met the central defender Duffy, faked the facsimile smash to the bottom line, and full-back Wiltman made up for the penalty area and pounced on Greenwood from behind.
The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot in the Brighton penalty area!
It seems that the Brighton player's hunch was not wrong.
Yes, that's right!
Manchester United is about to turn the tables!
Ye Yifeng stood at the penalty spot, waiting for the referee's signal.
The referee listened to the final opinion of the video referee and blew the whistle to signal that a penalty was available.
A VAR review penalty is no problem.
Before the Red Devils fans had time to panic, Manchester United immediately completed the comeback!
Ye Yifeng started to run and shot hard with his feet and blasted the ball into the top left corner of the goal.
The old shooter is very steady!
Manchester United 3:2 Brighton!
Chase three goals in a row to complete the reversal!
