Manchester United (hereinafter referred to as Manchester United) are leading the English Premier League (EPL) with seven reverse wins this season.
As of the 22nd (hereinafter Korean time), Manchester United are at the lead with 12 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses (40 points), playing 19 games. Manchester United, who won the match against Burnley on the 13th and took the lead after 8 years, are holding the first place by recording 1 win and 1 draw in the 2 games that have been played since.
Manchester United’s power is the backbone of this even after giving the opening goal. On the 21st, he also won a 2-1 reverse win against Fulham.
At the time, Manchester United scored first in 5 minutes, but Edison Cavani in the 21st minute and Paul Pogba in the 20th minute overturned the game.
It’s not just Fulham. Manchester United reported their first victory this season after scoring the opening goal in September last year against Brighton and Hove Albion. In the game against Newcastle and Everton, they both allowed the goal first and then reversed it to gain victory.
Last November’s Southampton expedition was the most dramatic turnaround this season. At the time, Manchester United scored two goals only in the first half, and the defeat was strong. However, with the start of the second half, Kabani scored 2 goals and 1 help, winning a thrilling turn-around victory 3-2.
According to football statistics media Opta, Manchester United’s seven back-to-back wins this season ranks third in EPL history. The team with the most back-to-back wins in one season was Newcastle in 2001-02 season 10 times. In the 2012-13 season, Manchester United finished second with 9 reverse wins.
The power of Manchester United to overturn the last-minute game this season comes from the confidence of the team. Coach Ole Gunnar Solshar said after the Fulham match, “The players have developed a lot mentally and physically since last season. The players themselves have developed determination, faith, and mental power.”
In addition, players with outstanding leadership such as Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandez, and Kabani are standing in each position, leading the breakout of the crisis.
Manchester United’s final EPL victory was in the 2012-13 season, which led to 9 reverse wins. This season, Manchester United has been reborn as a team that does not easily collapse like eight years ago, and is dreaming of recapture.
