After two consecutive Premier League starts for Manchester United, Portugal international Diogu Dallow made it clear that he was ready to stay at Manchester United and try his best to occupy the main position, rejecting the call of his former mentor Jose Mourinho. It was a big blow for Roma, who tried to move in in the winter and then buy him in, and Mourinho had to look for other new right-back signings.
During solskjaer's time in charge, Daloh was not reused and was even loaned out to AC Milan last season. But after the boss left the class, Darrow's playing time surged, starting as a right-back against Arsenal and Crystal Palace.
With these two games in full play, Dallow's league appearances finally surpassed Wales winger Daniel James, who left in August, to 271 minutes, and also ranked ahead of Cavani, Martial and Jesse Lingard. This gave Dallow hope of staying in the main force.
In an official interview with Manchester United, Dalo expressed his willingness to compete fairly with the 50 million pound iron gate 10 million Bissaka under the new coach Lonnick and strive to sit in the main position. "That's what I'm aiming for here," Dallow said, "if you're always out of the starting lineup and don't play much time, it's not easy, it's no secret." But our job as a player is to stay always ready and I think I've been doing a good job off the pitch and being well prepared. When the opportunity came up, I felt like I needed to keep trying and doing everything on the pitch right now."
Darrow added: "Helping the team, that's the most important thing and I'm happy to get the momentum I have now to be able to play with the team. Our mission is to help the team on the field and do our best. I have to show my best, my teammates are great, they can help me and this game is another opportunity for me to prove myself."
Referring to the changes that Lonnick has brought, Dalo analyzed: "I think this is due to everyone, not just because of the message conveyed by the coach, but everyone on the pitch, including the fans on the pitch. Everyone has a contribution, that's what we need to do, and for the rest of the season we have to stay that way, especially in the next game, to continue to lay the groundwork for future games. There is no doubt that Lonnick is a very good coach with advanced football concepts. Hopefully we can help him get the best results possible, and vice versa."
Interestingly, in the manchester United match against Crystal Palace, of the 11 starters on the field, including Dalo, a total of 5 players spoke Portuguese first, C Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Fred and Alex Tres all spoke Portuguese, and De Gea spoke Spanish very similar to them.
Dalo admits that it helps him: "Honestly, it really works because we are widely distributed on the pitch and can communicate with each other and deliver useful information. But the other players, we also have a lot of communication. We communicate closely with each other, and hopefully this will connect everyone, and on the football pitch, communication is obviously important too."
The data shows that although Lonnick has only been in charge of Manchester United for a few days, the changes in the team are obvious and the data can confirm these changes. In United's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, the team made 77 passes to attack zone three, setting a new season high, while the team won 12 possessions in midfield, twice the team's previous high, setting a record for the highest since his retirement. In contrast, during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's time in charge, United could only average 4.1 possessions per game in attacking the third zone.
United have regained the ball 65 times in normal matches, up from a season average of 56.4. Among them, Cristiano Ronaldo is the best example, he led by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Carrick in 11 rounds of Premier League matches, only 3 times to regain the ball, and Ronnick's first game, the Portuguese superstar completed 3 times to win back the ball data!
United have tackled 24 times in the game, nearly 11 more than their previous average per game. This greatly improved the defence, with Crystal Palace having just 8 shots on goal, six fewer than United have averaged per game this season.
Lonnick's Manchester United have 61.15 per cent possession, exceeding the season average by 10 per cent. In the three games carried out by Carrick, United faced Villarreal, Chelsea and Arsenal with only 45%, 34% and 45% possession respectively. In addition, United have 32 touches in the Crystal Palace penalty area, compared with 22.9 per game under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
