Lin Liangfeng: Such a bad Manchester United has increased confidence in the Europa League final

Manchester United lost 9 home games.

is unprecedented. What is even more disturbing is that such a bad record has the possibility of a repeat. Imagine what Manchester United's lineup would look like if there was no European war next season. Against the backdrop of the Europa League reaching the finals, the Premier League relegated early and faced West Ham. They also had no desires and no desires. Manchester United played casually and was like a world-class person. If the Europa League hadn't kept a glimmer of hope this season, if it weren't for the Jedi counterattacking Lyon at home, would Amorin have any issues worth manipulating?

Two months ago, with a four-round unbeaten, Manchester United had basically no chance of relegation, and the focus of the season was tilted towards the Europa League. The remaining leagues have become a training ground for serving the Europa League. Although the outside world has no way to know what Amorin strengthened and adjusted behind the scenes, in the last four games of the Europa League, people have seen the team improve slightly from the scene. Even in the desperate situation of falling behind Lyon two goals in overtime, even after being beaten by Bilbao for more than an hour at home, Manchester United can grit their teeth and persevere and usher in a turning point.

Some problems still deeply trouble fans: Why is it so easy to conceal the ball first? This round of losing to West Ham is Manchester United's 24th time behind in the Premier League! twenty four! Nearly two-thirds of the season. If this mode cannot be taken seriously in summer training and seeking avoidance in actual combat, it is no exaggeration to say that Manchester United will fall into the ranks of relegation as soon as they start next season. If you are still distracted by the Champions League, you will die faster. In the previous season, Manchester United was unable to cope with the double line, and was in a difficult position, and was eliminated from the last place in the Champions League, and the Premier League rankings also dropped sharply.

How bad is it to concede 24 goals first? Ranked sixth in the Premier League. Among the top five teams, three have been relegated, and the remaining two teams are Tottenham and the other is Wolves. The Wolves did not have a European game and changed coaches in time (more than a month later than Amorin), threw the FA Cup in early March, and finally relegated with a proud state of 6 wins and 1 draw.

Of course, Manchester United failed to take the lead in these 24 games, but they did not all ended in failure. Manchester United at least made four games back and tied in three more games. Want to know who made contributions in these 7 life-saving games? The number one hero is Amad, with 5 goals in 3 games, followed by captain Bruno and Hoylen, who had been away from the ball for a long time, both had 2 goals in 2 games, and 5 other players were on the scorer list, ranking in no particular order: Garnacho, De Ligt, Ugat, Maguire and Lima.

Lima cannot make a comeback this season, and the other six players have the chance to play in San Mames for the final. In addition to Maguire, Maynu, Mount, and others who are also in the Europa League have turned the tide one after another. If they really fall behind in the Europa League final, Manchester United is expected to save themselves. This round also makes people see this possibility. Maguire was hugged and fell to the ground while fighting for the top of the opponent's penalty area, and the referee turned a blind eye to it. Later, Amad made a wonderful pass from Hoylen, but unfortunately the latter's half-single shot was blocked by the visiting goalkeeper Areola. He later showed his might and pounced on Hoylen's close shot. To be positive, Manchester United still creates enough opportunities to score goals while lagging behind and passively. The trouble is that the ability to seize these opportunities is too poor. Hoylen broke the ball drought in the Europa League semi-finals. It was not his shot, but the ball hitting him.

It is certainly a good thing to not lose to West Ham, but from a metaphysical perspective, throwing away this meaningless Premier League game and allowing as many players as possible to play and maintain their form is the goal. Tottenham Hotspur, which was held at the same time, was not stupid and was not too serious. He almost gave up the Crystal Palace 3 points. Crystal Palace also has a FA Cup final, but it would be disrespectful to the other party so humble and not accept it with a smile. Although the team lost the midfield core Madison not long ago, captain Son Heung-min made a comeback. There are two rounds of Premier League in

, and fans no longer need to care about the outcome, they just need to see how Amorin deploys his troops in these two rounds. In this round, Bayander was the gatekeeper, Yoro led the defense, Luke Shaw and Mazlawi were on the left and right, and Amas and Amad played as the wingbacks in the midfield, Menu and Ugat were in the middle, and Bruno and Mount were invisible behind Hoylen. Only half of this deployment will start in the finals at most, and the opponent's first goal was penetrated from the junction of Mazravi and Yoro. The second goal was still Mazravi's position became a disaster area, but the disaster was the loss of No. 6 position, allowing the opponent to advance to the range. If Amorin does not receive reinforcements at this position in the summer window, his life will be more difficult than it is now.
