[Bundesliga live broadcast] [Live stream of the French Premier League] Live] [LDsports] In the early hours of Thursday morning, the Champions League F group staged the highlight, Villarreal visited Ottoford Stadium to challenge Manchester United. This game is a repeat of the last Europa League final. The Red Devil is aiming for revenge, but the yellow submarine is not a soft persimmon.
Champions League first round review
Manchester United's first round was unfavorable, Solskjaer was sitting on a luxury team, and was finally defeated by the Swiss Superball youngsters 2 to 1 lore . A brief review: in the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring first, and then Aaron Wanpisaka received a red card and was sent off (the match was suspended for this match). Manchester United, who played less in the second half, was in a passive position. Before the end of the game, Jesse Lingard made a return pass error, allowing Jordan Shibache to seize the opportunity to complete the goal. On the other hand, Villarreal played extremely tenaciously in the first round, even when Francis Coklin received a red card and was sent off (the match was suspended for this match). Ross and Dan Juma scored and drew 2-2 with Atalanta in regular time.
Analysis of the group situation
The unfavorable Manchester United lost to the weakest youth in the group in the first round, so it is necessary to grab points in this battle. The task of guaranteeing the bottom is to keep the tie. Once the second round loses again, it will be the team's two-game losing streak in the Champions League since entering the 21st century. This is obviously not the result the team hopes to see, which shows that Solskjaer is under great pressure.Relatively speaking, Villarreal, who won the points in the first round, is in a better situation, after all, they are grabbing points from Atalanta.
Manchester United was the runner-up in the Premier League last season. The team strengthened the lineup in the summer and won three powerful champions including Cristiano Ronaldo, Jayden Sancho and Varane. The promotion goal naturally refers to the double champions of the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. Although Manchester United recorded 4 wins, 1 loss and 1 loss in the first 6 rounds of the Premier League this season, it is not bad, but it must be pointed out that many fans are not particularly satisfied with this result. This is reflected in two aspects. One is the back line. Manchester United hasn't won a zero sheet since the previous one goal away from the Wolves. If it weren't for David De Gea 's many brave saves, this result may be even worse. The second is the recent state. The UEFA Champions League and the British League Cup respectively lost to the youngsters and Wesham. I will not say more here. Let's talk about the last round of the Premier League against Ashton Villa. In this campaign, Manchester United suppressed the opponent most of the time before conceding a goal, and there were a lot of opportunities to counterattack and score goals. The young Mason Grenada was extremely blind, not passing the ball in time to give opportunities to teammates in better positions; The twelve-yard opportunity before the end of the game also came to an end with Fernandez's "flight". All in all, Manchester United's recent formations of Solskjaer and the mental outlook shown by the players are unsatisfactory. In terms of lineup, strikers Marcus Rushford and Amad Traore are also missing due to injuries.
It can be said that the victory in the last European League gave Villarreal confidence. Since then, Emery’s yellow submarine has never lost in all competitions in the regular time. In more detail, 6 La Liga 1 wins and 5 draws, UEFA Super Cup 1 draw, UEFA Champions League 1 draw, the most worth mentioning is that the UEFA Super Cup and Zizi are inextricably difficult to distinguish, until the twelve yards battle was a loss; And in the Champions League opening game, he dared to play a big offense against Atlant. This seems to give people a feeling that everyone who kicks is "five-five." It’s worth noting that Villarreal is not the kind of team that relies on offense to grab points.It relies on tough defense, such as the last battle against Real Madrid, who had full firepower. Who would have thought that they could play a "five-five" against their opponents. What is even more rare is that they still keep their gates intact, making the team currently a La Liga. The second best defensive team in the center, second only to Sevier, is an unbreakable four-back formation led by Alfonso Pedraza and Ruel Abiol. Lastly, although Manchester United has risen sharply compared to last season, they are under tremendous psychological pressure. Relatively speaking, Villarreal has less psychological pressure, just as Emery was interviewed by the media a few days ago. Said it like this: "We may be at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but football depends on the team after all. We will not give up easily because of fear of the opponent." In terms of the lineup, forward Hrade Moreno missed due to injury.
