No handshake after the game? Manchester United's FA Cup promotion to Ten Hag caused controversy, it turned out that he was busy bringing goods!
In the early morning of 29 January, an important match for England in Beijing will be played at Old Trafford, with Manchester United travelling to Newport in League Two. After 90 minutes of intense battle, Manchester United reached the final with a score of 4-2. You know, Ten Hag also made an interesting move after the game.
In this game, Marcus Rashford was absent due to injury, and defender Casemiro also ushered in his first game. Brazilian winger Antony scored his own goal in seven minutes, playing a beautiful counter-attack in the box that allowed Fernandes to steal a goal from inside the box. Diogo Dalot made a beautiful pass six minutes later and the young Menou netted his first senior goal. In the 36th minute, Morris equalised with a beautiful shot. And just two minutes into the second half, Evans hit the ball on Raphael Varane, and then Newport equalized the game 2-2!
However, United didn't create a chance for the weaker side, with Luke Shaw hitting the post on 68 minutes before Antony cleverly slotted the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-2 and the Brazilian winger ended his season-to-season streak without the ball. In the fourth minute of the second half, a long-range shot from Forson was cleared away by the goalkeeper, and then Hojlund's two goals helped the team to a 4-2 victory.
In this game, Manchester United held a 71% advantage, with 7 of their 22 attempts on goal and 4 goals scored. What's even more surprising is that Antony, a Brazilian winger who has not achieved anything in the last 22 rounds, scored a goal in this shot, and also set a record of zero for the team. Even playing against a Premier League player can boost his confidence tremendously.
But when the game was over, Newport head coach Graham Coughland had been there for a long time, and he finally waited for his assistant coach. Just when everyone was accusing Ten Hag of being uneducated, the Dutchman came. In an interview with Covran, he walked over and shook his hand and handed him a bottle of red wine. This is a 2013 Antinori Tinino, priced at 230 euros, and it was made by Alex Ferguson.
Coughland didn't forget to joke that he didn't drink alcohol, he just wanted a brand of beer. Ten Hag was so full of praise for the wine that he insisted on giving Kaufran a taste. looks like a veteran Internet celebrity.
But judging by this game, Ten Hag's side still have a lot to do after their victory. Newport is worth only two million euros as one of the 11 main players in the Premier League. The Chinese team, who did not score the first goal in the group stage in three rounds, after three rounds, the value of their 11 players, one is 5.72 million euros, one is 6.3 million euros, and one is 4.75 million euros, and Wu Lei alone is worth 1.5 million euros, accounting for more than half of the entire Newport.
In this case, though, United played their game, with two of their 17 goals equalised. This kind of behavior is really unreasonable. Ten Hag will need to work harder to achieve better results at the end of the season.
