[인터풋볼] Reporter Shin Dong-hoon = A player from Manchester United pointed out the passive defensive football of coach Ole Gunnar Solshar.
Manchester United scored a 0-0 draw with Liverpool in the 19th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-21 season held in Anfield in Liverpool, England at 1:30 am on the 18th. This put Manchester United first in the league with 37 points and Liverpool fourth with 34 points.
Manchester United gave Liverpool the lead throughout the game. Focusing on the defense, he aimed to counterattack. Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes attacked, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Marsial constantly aimed for the back space. However, it seldom created a threatening opportunity. Rashford and Marsial both shot only one shot. Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood were added in a row, but there was no significant effect.
Rather, the decisive opportunity was created by Pogba and Bruno. Pogba shot a powerful shot, while Pogba shot Liverpool with an accurate free kick. But I couldn’t get past Alisong Becker. In the end, Manchester United scored 4 valid shots but failed to score. Fortunately, he was able to score one point by scoring no runs through his persistent defense.
Paul Innes, who has played for Manchester United, said through the global soccer media’Goal.com’, “Solssar played defensive soccer close to parking a bus like coach Jose Mourinho. After the start of the game whistle sounded, he was defensively defended and struggled against Liverpool’s unilateral offensive. There was no difference from Mourinho’s tactics. Not when I was running. I didn’t go to Anfield just to defend. I wanted to see Manchester United countering Liverpool face to face, but I am sorry.”
Coach Solshar said, “I was not entitled to score 3 points through’Sky Sports’ after the game. Especially in the first half. He showed a better appearance in the second half, but couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity. It needs to be developed in many areas. I especially remember the scene where Pogba’s shooting was blocked by Alisong’s save,” he expressed regret in the draw.
Manchester United are still in the lead, but are under the heavy pursuit of Manchester City. It seems that it has not been able to solidify the No. 1 position even more because he has not even won 1 win against Big 6 this season. Manchester United lost 1-6 against Tottenham, 0-0 draw against Chelsea, 0-1 against Arsenal, 0-0 draw against Man City, and 0-0 draw against Liverpool. In order to achieve the victory in 8 years, it is necessary to show better performance against the Big 6 and produce results.
