Celebrities discuss Manchester United's pressing issues, players or coaches?
Ironically, this season, United have had a much higher percentage of possession up front than any other team, controlling 244 feet up front (40 metres) and scoring 47 goals. Two months ago, United had the most possession in the world in the league and the most three goals in the world, but they didn't score a single goal.
However, that doesn't give the impression that United are a team that are good at pressing, and they will always leave space in midfield and at the back, so that they can easily make the opposition fast. Speaking ahead of the Fulham game, Carragher commented: "United used a tactic that they had never seen before, with both high pressing and low defending. "It's because the distance between Manchester United's forwards and defenders is too big, so to speak.
TheOverlap recently aired Roy Keane, Neville, Carragher, Ian Wright, Scott, and a look at Manchester United's pressing tactics. Neville asked: "What do you think about the injuries that Manchester United have been repeating in the last six months, is it because the manager hasn't dealt with it well or because the players haven't followed the manager's commands? Here are the main points of the discussion:
Ian Wright: "Sometimes when we see Bruno he pushes forward and there is a blank space behind him, that's a common thing, you have to work hard in training to make you understand that we can't move forward, that we are not in good shape and that we have to wait until the right opportunity to move forward! ”
Roy Keane interjected: "But Manchester United won't do that, b.."Faye won't, neither will Marcus Rashford, they can play five minutes, 10 minutes, but the truth is that when a team is not good at pressing the opposition, we are like cheetahs and blobs (the leopard is a whole, the speckled is a whole) and Manchester United can't press the opposition very well. ”
Carragher's opinion was set by the manager at the very beginning of the game. He mentioned Meno a couple of times as he thought he was pressing the ball high and the pre-match arrangements caught him off guard. However, as Roy Keane said, Manchester United's total pressing will never be a problem, and when one person presses up, the others can't keep up, which means that if one person loses, there is no one behind to top it, and this is the problem that United have had for the past two seasons.
