Total defeat!

avalanche!

This is the word that appeared the most in British media reports after Leeds United beat Manchester United 9-0.

Almost all media believe that Manchester United has experienced a humiliating and complete defeat.

As Martin Taylor, the famous game commentator of British Sky TV, said in the post-match analysis summary, this game is of great significance to Manchester United, and it is completely different from the previous 1-6 home defeat to Tottenham.

Losing to Tottenham, it can be said to be an accident.

At that time, the league had just started, Manchester United had just been reorganized, many things hadn't been straightened out, and the team hadn't found a rhythm and entered the regular game. Coupled with multiple accidents, the team suffered a sudden and disastrous defeat in the game.

But today, the 9-0 defeat to Leeds United is fundamentally different.

Manchester United has prepared carefully for this game. After everyone adjusted to their best condition, they will face Leeds United at Old Trafford. It can be said that this is the strongest Manchester United!

In the past six rounds, Manchester United has gone through six unbeaten rounds, and won five of the six games. The performance can be described as quite brilliant, making everyone firmly believe that Manchester United is on the right path to recovery.

But at Old Trafford, United experienced a humiliation.

Whether it was the deployment before the game, the adjustments during the game, or the tactical execution of the players, Manchester United was completely defeated by Leeds United. The White Rose showed the efficiency and speed of modern football to their mortal enemies.

Martin Samuel believes that in this game, Solskjaer appeared relatively conservative in the formation of troops.

The double midfielders of Matic and McTominay are to ensure the solidity of the team's midfield, but in the game, the double midfielders did not play a protective role. Manchester United's defense was exposed time and time again. Under Union fire.

"Obviously there is something seriously wrong with Manchester United's midfield."

Matic is old, and both midfielders are tall and large players, and there are obvious deficiencies in running coverage.

Martin Samuel believes that Solskjaer's formation can indeed perform well in the face of some teams that are weaker than Manchester United, or when they are forced into an extremely embarrassing situation by Manchester City. Effect.

But Leeds United played smarter in this game.

"Pochettino has obviously learned from Guardiola's experience and lessons. Instead of blindly pressing Manchester United near the penalty area, he let Manchester United press out appropriately. This certainly puts pressure on his midfield, but it also puts himself The frontcourt leaves room to attack."

"More importantly, Leeds United has such confidence."

Martin Samuelrow listed a statistic that Leeds United grabbed the ball a total of 25 times in Manchester United's half, 15 of which were converted into shots within 20 seconds of grabbing the ball.

In contrast, Manchester United has only 4 times in this data, and none of them can be converted into a shot within 20 seconds.

The reason why it is 20 seconds is because if this time node passes, usually the defensive formation has already been established.

This is a very obvious contrast.

It proves that Leeds United put enough pressure on Manchester United in the frontcourt, and they are all concentrated in the area from the center line to the outside of Manchester United's penalty area. After grabbing the ball, it is easy to form a shooting opportunity.

Martin Samuel also said that it can also be seen from this data that Manchester United's pressing in the frontcourt is quite bad.

"Solskjaer played too conservatively in this game and didn't even put the slightest pressure on the opponent in front. As a result, both of Leeds United's full-backs were able to actively advance and participate in the attack."

"In the whole game, Manchester United only grabbed the ball 4 times in Leeds United's half. How can this make Leeds United dare not be bold?"

In addition to the conservative formation of the head coach, Martin Samuel believes that Manchester United's defeat also comes from the shortcomings of the team's lineup.

Since it is going to play a defensive counterattack and the team retreats as a whole, the lack of a stable point in front of the ball makes it almost impossible for Manchester United to play even a threatening attack.

"Manchester United tried various methods during the game, including long passes, including pass-and-receive cooperation, but none of them turned into threats."

Martin Samuel believes that many people may think that such a big score has no reference value, "but what I want to say is that this is the second time Manchester United has suffered a disastrous defeat this season."

"The previous time could be said to be accidental, but this time it was a complete failure."

"Perhaps, the difference in strength between the two sides has not reached 9 goals, but there is no problem at all for Leeds United to beat Manchester United."

As for Manchester United, after encountering such a disastrous defeat, the team's six-match unbeaten record was completely destroyed.

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team has to readjust and regain confidence."

"In this game, Leeds United not only captured Old Trafford, but also completely destroyed the confidence and fighting spirit of Manchester United players. It can be seen from their performance on the court that they have completely collapsed. .”

"This is the biggest blow to Manchester United!"

Maguire is the captain of Manchester United in this game, and he is also a young player trained by Leeds United.

When he accepted the interview after the game, he confirmed Martin Samuel's analysis.

The Manchester United captain said he already felt something was wrong when he conceded the third goal in the first half.

The focus, devotion, and morale of the players when they play football are obviously different.

"We shouted a lot less to each other all of a sudden." Maguire said resignedly.

This shows that all the players are disheartened.

There was also some lack of excitement in the United dressing room at half-time.

"We tried very hard to lift our spirits, but at the beginning of the second half, our opponents attacked consecutively. It felt really bad."

Maguire said that he is from Leeds United. He is familiar with and understands Leeds United's tactical style, so he reminded his teammates, but it didn't work.

"In the past period of time, our team played very well. Except for the 0-0 draw with Manchester City, we won all other games. This caused us to be full of energy before this game. We all felt that, I can win Leeds United."

"But in the game, we found that this is not the case at all."

Maguire believes that the huge gap is also an important factor in destroying Manchester United's self-confidence, not just from opponents.

"Actually, for a while before the game, we felt pretty good, we all thought, this is going to be a great afternoon, a great game, we can beat the leaders, we can go further in the rankings, we can Welcome Christmas with a cheerful heart."

"But, the reality is cruel!"

Maguire expressed his congratulations to Leeds United. He believes that Leeds United is indeed one of the strongest teams in the Premier League and European football.

"I've been at Leeds United for many years, and even now, I've been in constant contact with a lot of people in this team, so I know they have a group of outstanding young people, really outstanding."

"I think Leeds are strong contenders for the Premier League and the Champions League this season."

For Manchester United, Maguire believes that this fiasco is both a blow and a spur.

"It tells us, don't aim too high, we need to do better, because there is still a huge gap between us and the best teams."

As for the championship that many people shouted, Maguire said that this should not be an issue that Manchester United is considering now.

After a disastrous defeat at home, Manchester United fans "rebelled" one after another.

There were even many Manchester United fans applauding Leeds United after the game, which made Manchester United feel extremely embarrassed.

The must-win slogan chanted by owner Ratcliffe before the game has now become a laughing stock.

Manchester United invested millions of pounds in the research and development of the analysis system, which was ridiculed by the media as a "guiding lamp" because it was deduced hundreds of times, but all of them were wrong.

"This is an impossible miracle!"

There are also many Manchester United fans who expressed their anger on the spot. In an interview that did not mention it, they said that they would not go to the scene to watch the game again. Some extremely angry fans even threatened to refund Manchester United's season tickets and memberships.

"Ratcliffe is ruining Manchester United!"

"This is the worst Manchester United ever!"

"It's hard for me to imagine that we have invested almost 300 million euros in this team this summer, not counting the original lineup."

If you add up all the current Manchester United lineup, it will be the most valuable team in the Premier League and even European football, but at Old Trafford, they lost 0-9 to Leeds United.

It was unbelievable.

Ferguson was also interviewed by the media after the game. Regarding the fiasco, the Manchester United coach said that it was over, and there was no point in discussing it.

"Right now, the only thing we can say is, congratulations to Leeds United, they are the best team in the Premier League."

Regarding Manchester United, Ferguson said that Manchester United has indeed not shown strong competitiveness in the current dialogue between the strong and strong, and it is irresponsible to push all the problems to Solskjaer and the coaching staff.

"Things are really bad right now, but we're not desperate."

Ferguson believes that Manchester United still have a chance now.

The transfer was banned by UEFA for two window periods, but next summer, Manchester United can definitely strengthen their signings in a targeted manner.

In fact, Manchester United's lineup is not bad, but there are not small shortcomings.

Money, Manchester United has plenty; influence, Manchester United is still the world's top giants, the focus of countless media attention.

This is doomed that Manchester United will not lack attention, nor will it lack attraction to good players.

So ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ferguson believes that what Manchester United needs to do now is to adjust their mentality as soon as possible and recover.

"I believe that Manchester United will return to the top sooner or later."

Of course, there are also many Manchester United fans and the media looking for comfort.

After the disastrous defeat to Leeds United, Manchester United's ranking fell to 12th, but Manchester United is not the worst.

Among the traditional giants of the Premier League, there is another team worse than Manchester United.

That is Arteta's Arsenal, who are currently ranked 15th, and lost to Everton 1-2 away in this round.

This is very embarrassing.

And Arsenal are also Leeds United's opponents in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

This is also the last game of Leeds United before Christmas.

The venue is at the Emirates Stadium in London.
