In the early morning of December 12, Beijing time, the 16th round of the Premier League continued to play: Norwich city vs Manchester United. In the first half, Ronaldo's shot was saved; in the second half, Ronaldo hit a penalty. In the end, United beat Norwich City 1-0.
In the games that have already ended, Manchester City 1-0 Wolves, Arsenal 3-0 Southampton, Chelsea 3-2 Leeds United, Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa. Manchester United's opponents are no. 1 Norwich, which requires them to score 3 points. Otherwise, it will become difficult to compete for four.
In the first half, Manchester United had the upper hand. In the 37th minute, Ronaldo got rid of his shot inside the penalty area and was saved by Krul.
In the second half, Norwich actually occupied the initiative on the field, and the possession rate was far ahead of Manchester United. At this time, a person stepped forward. Needless to say everyone knows: Ronaldo.
In the 74th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo was pulled down while scrambling for the top of the penalty area and United won a penalty. Ronaldo, overnight.
After that, the two teams attacked and defended each other, but neither scored again. 1-0, Manchester United beat Norwich and scored three points.
What would this game look like if it wasn't for Ronaldo? 0-0, end the whole field. In this case, Manchester United can be one point behind Arsenal. With this victory, Manchester United's points temporarily equaled that of Fourth West Ham United. This is undoubtedly a positive for them.
After Lonnick took office, United played three games: 1-0 Crystal Palace, 1-1 Bern Youngsters and 1-0 Norwich. Seeing this, I believe that everyone has been able to see the biggest problem of Manchester United: attack. Three games, three goals, too few. What's the problem? At the tactical level, there is no need to discuss. After all, Lonnick had just arrived. The problem lies in the personnel collocation. Or rather, C Ronaldo's partner. Whether it's Rashford or Greenwood, it's not the same. Hopefully, Cavani will make a comeback soon.
