Amorin s Manchester United faces a dilemma, and they re rotating their strengths to hurt morale
12:53pm, 14 May 2025Football
After successfully advancing to the UEFA Cup final, Manchester United's goals this season are already very clear.
For this great cup championship, Amorin had already announced the team's next game plan before the game. Although there will be some strong opponents in the next few Premier League games, the team has entered the schedule for preparing for the finals. Not only should some substitutes and young players be used in the game to examine their specific abilities, the amount of training during this period should also be appropriately reduced, and the whole team must rest and recuperate.
This is obviously a very correct idea, but it also means that Manchester United will re-enter a state of uncertainty during this period of Premier League games.
7m livescore 2in1This is obviously good news for Manchester United's opponents.
In this game, Manchester United made some different changes.
In the starting roster, the most recent main players are Yoro, Mazravi, Ugat, Bruno Fernandez and Heilen. On the back line, Yoro is in the center, Luke Shaw and Mazravi are separated by left and right, Armas and Amade Diallo serve as wingbacks, and the midfield teammates who are diagonally facing are Mount and Maynu.
So from a tactical perspective, Manchester United is generally small in this game, which is conducive to full running and local cooperation, but in the strength and sprint stages, there are destined to be some shortcomings. These two points are actually precisely Manchester United's valuable characteristics during this period. After the opening of the game, the two teams that were no longer in the league had no desires, and neither of them pulled up very high. Manchester United held the ball at home, and focused on connecting with the two wings in the line:
, and on West Ham United, Porter picked up the three defenders he tried at Chelsea, and arranged the tall player Souschek to the frontcourt. In the pressing stage, Souschek's position was even no lower than forwards Kudus and Bowen:
Just like using Havertz to play center, considering Souschek's ability at feet, his understanding of the sudden position is indeed a bit magical.
Based on this point, West Ham's offense is actually only maintained on their core players, namely Kudus and Bowen, and these two points are aimed at Manchester United's two full-time central defenders.
So in the 7th minute, Kudus transferred Mazravie out, and Wan Bisaka made Ugat's foul behind him. Through this set piece, West Ham United played the first threatening attack:
Of course, when the score was still 0-0, Manchester United still had the situation on the court, or in other words, had the ball on the court.
Manchester United can play such an offense on the court:
But more often, you can clearly feel the awkwardness of Manchester United's cooperation between the left and right sides:
If there is a lack of tacit understanding between Mount and Armas on the left and do not have much singles ability, it is difficult to boost this road itself, and the more regrettable thing actually happens on the right.
Amad Diallo can still play some advantages in West Ham United players, but on the side, it is difficult for Menu to help him, or Menu doesn't think he needs to help Amad Diallo:
So on this way, the two people can't tell the main and secondary, and there is obviously a lack of awareness of helping each other. The problem still occurs more with Menu, because he went to the left rib in 22 minutes and tried to help the offense on this side. In the end, his cooperation with everyone did not match:
In this way, Menu's position on the court became quite embarrassing, and he could not find his position and role.
In addition to the ball stage, Manchester United's problems in the off-ball stage are also very clear, including this pressing, Mount's position is not right:
After this front court pressing exposed the middle space, West Ham United moved to the left to start attacking, and then played back and played again. Manchester United had problems: The problem in the process is actually very simple, that is, after Menulla comes in to defend, there is an empty problem in the peripheral space.
Here Mazravie is at the top, or Ugat will defend, It's OK, but both of them are a little slow here, which makes Wan Bissaka cut in from the direction of the foot without pressure, and can easily contact Kudus who interspersed behind Mazravi:
, so there is obviously a lack of command in this area, including whether Yoro will make up for the defense or Ugath after hitting behind Mazravi, or whether it is not clear:
, so in this goal, West Ham United grasped the position and coordination problems caused by the restructuring of Manchester United's defense line, and it is difficult for Manchester United to deal with it.
, including today, the same is true on the offensive end. Without Doorgu and Garnacho, the vertical impact ability has been greatly weakened. Almost all the team is counting on Huillen, but the latter's confidence has obviously not improved to that point:
, including this goal, this is obviously not the route Garnacho usually gives, so Huillen was completely unaware of it, so naturally he was one step too late:
In contrast, although the arrangement of the midfield and frontcourt is messy, the opponent has Kudus and also has abundant physical confrontation and impact capabilities. This feature is still very clear:
Considering that Manchester United played two games in a week, half of the teams were rotated in this game, the player position, personnel characteristics and the tactical style formed have changed greatly, and it is understandable that the performance is not good..
Amorin did not substitution in the first half, and only changed the positions of Mount and Maynu, which shows that he still did not regard winning as his top priority. The primary goal of this game is rotation and observation.
Under such circumstances, especially in positional battles, we can only hand the ball over to Amade Diallo:
Joro was injured and left the court, and Maguire came on as a substitute. In the 57th minute, West Ham United completed a steal in the frontcourt. Maguire, who came to make up for the pot, completed a breakthrough by Kudus, thus allowing West Ham United to score the second goal:
As soon as this goal was scored, Manchester United needed to get anxious, so Amorin also replaced Garnacho and Dorgu, and replaced Ugat. In this way, the offensive end has recovered some combat effectiveness, but the midfield position is occupied by Bruno and Menu, and this idea obviously cannot appear for a long time.
At this time, West Ham United chose to retract, which greatly reduced Manchester United's vertical space, and the effect from the substitute was reduced. Therefore, at the end of the game, the offensive threat created by Manchester United appeared in the set ball link:
The only opportunity for sports war was wasted by Heillen:
In the end, Manchester United lost 0-2 in this game.
As we said before, fighting for the UEFA Cup is a big gamble, not only because of the great luck factor in winning the championship, but also including even if Amorin got a lot of vaccinations before the game, many fans will still not be able to accept the loss.
In fact, it is difficult for Manchester United to struggle with losing in this game. First, it is a double match in a week, second, it is a half-team rotation, and third, it is a change in the tactical system, which makes it impossible to exert its previous advantages.
It was clearly seen at 0-0 that Manchester United can get the ball, but cannot play the offensive threat. This is exactly the mirror performance of Manchester United during this period. However, as West Ham United gradually improved through their personal abilities and the intensity of the game gradually increased, Manchester United could not keep up with the pace. The technical advantages shown in
when controlling the ball are soon lost.
From this perspective, there is no surprise in the defeat of this game.
When the players on the court were struggling to find tacit understanding and were unable to reproduce the impact routines of the previous few games, Manchester United's difficulties in this game were already in front of them. After all, Manchester United's ability to seize opportunities has never been good. Today, even the ability to create opportunities has to be discounted, so there is no need to say much about performance.
Therefore, Amorin still needs to pay attention to the fact that fighting for the UEFA Cup this season is like preparing for a penalty shootout in overtime. It seems that the result is 55, but the performance in overtime will also affect the morale of the players and in turn affect the quality of the players' penalty.
So, rotation is OK and adjustment is OK, but Manchester United needs to maintain a certain combat effectiveness, otherwise it will not be easy to regain morale in the finals.
