Being beaten first and then fighting back, Manchester United s children let Brentford see his ability and shortcomings

11:46pm, 9 May 2025Football

Amorin gave a preview of the tone of this game at the pre-match press conference.

Although Manchester United led Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, the final was right in front of him. Amorin did not want the gutter to capsize, so in this game, he decided to send substitutes and young people to give the main players as much rest as possible.

Amorin also knew very well that he was ready to lose. After all, Brentford was not strong, but had very distinctive tactical features.

So, the children suffered a loss as expected, but also contributed a goal battle with their opponents. The tone of

has been determined long ago, and Manchester United has practiced it thoroughly.

In this game, Manchester United conducted a large rotation of personnel. Since the lineup itself is short, judging from the situation during this period, the only main players who continue to start are Doorgu, Ugat and Garnacho.

In addition to children like Armas, Frederickson and Obi Martin, Manchester United also sent De Ligt, Luke Shaw, Maynu and Mount who were recovering from injuries some time ago, and combined with substitute goalkeeper Baindir, to form today's starter.

So, you say that this lineup is strong, many players lack the game experience or status, you say that they do not have the strength, but there are actually not many new recruits.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult for the entire team to find their own tactical support, especially in the away environment.

So shortly after the opening, Brentford showed his own characteristics, and there were not many fancy lines in the offensive stage, fully demonstrating his long-term board at the confrontation level: in the first two defenses, Manchester United had already exposed their lack of game state, the lack of tacit understanding between De Rigt, Luke Shaw and Baindir, and the lack of experience of young player Frederickson.

And when there is a ball, the problem also occurs.

This time Manchester United handled the ball link, which seemed to be just an ordinary pressing against opponents, and it was difficult to move forward, but it exposed Obie Martin's shortcomings: when Garnacho received the ball forward and Menu took the ball at his feet, Obie Martin should actively provide a response and appear in the field of vision of the player who took the ball.

On the one hand, it provides support, and on the other hand, it restrains the opponent. In this way, you have the opportunity to get the ball and your teammates can intersperse the defense line, thereby creating more fighter jets.

However, Obi Martin obviously lacks enough tactics and starting experience, and has not participated in the game at all, so naturally he did not help his teammates.

, including this 7th minute handling, the same is true. He should have been moving long ago, instead of having the awareness of responding after Ugath fell to the ground:

From this perspective, this is the biggest problem that Obi Martin has encountered in this game. These poor competitions can be understood instead:

Even if the landing point is accurate, the young forward will most likely not be able to compete with mature central defenders, and the success rate of competitions will not look good. This is actually very normal.

The main reason is that the lack of tactical awareness has led to the teammates' balls coming out, or when there is no choice, Obi Martin only started to move. This is the clearest deficit:

The performance is so difficult to participate in the game, which makes Manchester United really like playing one less person, which is why we have mentioned Heillen's diagonal running position in the article before.

If you are not Ibrahimovic and can't stand, then the forward moves first and creates a support is more important than the teammates passing the ball. Only by moving first can you provide additional pass options for the midfield and backcourt teammates. This is also the last game. Heylen didn't seem to have any performance, but Amorin specially named him after the game.

The tactical consequences of not doing so, the game becomes very clear.

centers cannot participate in the game, and Manchester United will actually start to form a backward pressure from here, but before the situation is completely out of control, Manchester United took the lead in scoring:

During the process, the problem first occurred when Brentford's backcourt's big foot did not open and the landing point was not contested, allowing Garnacho and Maynu, two more experienced young players, to cooperate, and then contact Mount who was surrounded in the middle.

The player who was introduced in Tenghach in the second year finally played a performance that made people feel impressionable.

As soon as the ball was scored, the score changed, and everyone was still slow at the beginning of the game, which immediately increased. Brentford advanced at high speed in his first attack when he re-activated:

The pressing intensity in front of the goal also increased simultaneously:

So in the 27th minute, Brentford played an opportunity in the outbound ball, capturing the problem of Armas' physical and poor competition:

At this time, it was the time to test Manchester United's tactical strength in a comprehensive test, but the center lacked function. Maynu appeared in the midfield position that Amorin had long been determined to be unsuitable for him, and there were many children on the back line who were inexperienced in the game.

There are too few players who can support the team, so in the 33rd minute, Drigt was injured in the confrontation, and Maynu was not sensitive enough in protecting the ball and subsequent defense. Brentford made a cross from the right and got the second goal on Frederickson's head:

In fact, as Amorin said, the controversy over the concealment process was not mentioned, he was more concerned about Drigt's injury, which is likely to hurt the ligament. The specific situation still needs to wait for today's nuclear magnetic results..

completed the reversal before the end of the first half. Brentford obviously had a great morale and also understood the shortcomings of these children from Manchester United. So they fought against Armas, which made it difficult for the children to play:

also continued to attack at the end of the first half and beat Frederick. Sen's problem: At the same time, Manchester United gave very few countermeasures, only Mount's diagonal running this time, and the attack of pulling the side and sending the cross was pretty good: After 45 minutes, the game process and results were as expected by Amorin, so he had already got a vaccination, and he had no idea of ​​disrupting the game plan.

However, Manchester United should not concede the goal anymore, and losing morale is also a result that the team does not want to see.

So after returning from the second half, Amorin replaced Maguire in the first half and replaced Dorgu and sent Amad Diallo.

In this way, the game experience and condition are appropriately supplemented. At least on the back line, only Frederickson and Armas are still lacking, and should be able to feed back to the midfield and frontcourt.

At the beginning, it did have a similar meaning:

, but Brentford, who has fewer problems and has a chance to regain the scene:

, and entering the 60-minute interval, Obie Martin was slightly better, and ran from this offense to the left:

, including the subsequent mistakes that almost made the opponent, which were all good performances:

It is obvious that young players will show up at this time. It has to be more threatening, after all, the physical strength slot is longer, especially compared with the performance of mature opponents at this time, the two will appear slightly better:

However, in the 70th minute, Brentford sent crosses from the right half in succession, and there was still a problem with Frederickson:

Of course, Armas was shaken away and was kicked by the opponent, including Amade Diallo at the back point, which was obvious. But as for Frederickson, he did not even make a jumping move, which means he still couldn't keep up with the intensity of the game.

And in the 74th minute, this problem was shown in another form: In this goal, the protection in front of the back line was invalid and was scored between the two lines by the opponent. Strictly speaking, it should be Maguire's front top, but Maguire was old and had to keep his strength for the middle of the week. In addition, the child came out, and then chose to fill it back. However, if Frederickson wants to push, he needs to push to the end. He can't push half of it and find that he can't push it back. This makes him slow and not firm enough, which does not help the midfield, but also makes his back line loopholes.

obviously lacks awareness of playing in the three-back system, so when we played against Wolves, we didn't mention this kid much, and he has no significant characteristics, so the upper limit is indeed doubtful.

In a short period of time, the score changed from 1-2 to 1-4. Such a result will naturally affect morale. It is impossible to count on players to do anything on the weekend when it is Thursday.

Therefore, Manchester United needs to exert some strength on the offensive end. Since Obie Martin has been able to perform some of the performances before, other more experienced children should naturally play out.

Fortunately, Garnacho and Amade Diallo scored one goal at the end of the game, changing the score back to 3-4:

In this way, the result can be better accepted.

In general, today we have achieved the established goal. No matter how the away fans sang, Bruno Fernandez, including Heillen, got enough rest, and the starters Ugat and Dorgu were also replaced, and Garnacho was fine.

Only Maguire has been on the side for a little longer, and De Rigt's injury is worrying.

However, Garnacho and Amade Diallo both won, which gave Manchester United more confidence and choices in the subsequent not-so-hard game tasks.

It is obvious that the children exposed their shortcomings in this away game in Brentford, and Obie Martin, Armas and Frederickson all had clear problems.

But in this game without desire, the more experienced brothers can help them avoid excessive artillery fire and gain more time for them to grow. Given that the club has been determined to shift the focus of the team building from superstars to new stars, they must also spur themselves.

As for Amorin and his main players, they need to focus on the mid-week game.
