Manchester United boss Ronnick believes that the team lacked passion, morale and intensity in the last round of the Premier League loss to Wolves, but he praised goalkeeper De Gea by name, believing that if the whole team were like the Spanish international, it would be better suited to his tactics. In the game, De Gea's chances allowed United to concede only one goal, among them, when C Ronaldo's header was wrongly passed back and almost scored by Raul Jimenez, the Red Devils god roared loudly and criticized Big Brother, and the Portuguese superstar was not angry, but raised his hands to apologize.
Lonnick believes that the 4222 formation is not a problem for United, but the quality of will. "I don't understand the internal atmosphere of the whole club, I can only talk about the players, the dressing room and the coaches, and it is clear that everyone made mistakes after the game, including the results and performances, especially in the first half." "Now, we have 4 days to train, from Thursday to Sunday, to prepare for the match against Villa, that's my job, my job is to make the team perform differently."
"We've made some progress before, but the game against Wolves is a step backwards and maybe the bad habits of the team have relapsed, so we need to stick and stress that every time we have to work together and we have to improve ourselves. We only have to improve the choices when we control the ball together, and the response when the opponent takes the ball, and the moments of offensive and defensive transitions. The whole team has to do the same thing at the same time, we have to increase the speed, it's inevitable, the same team needs to be more passionate, fighting spirit and intensity."
Lonnick called on United to learn from de Gea's spirit, and the Red Devils players have recently been criticized for always showing their hands on the field. Lonnick said reminding teammates like De Gea not to make mistakes is a perfectly acceptable positive move.
"There were problems with Wolves, especially in the first half. We are like the bodyguards of our opponents, and if we analyze them carefully, only De Gea constantly refuses to break the other side. David (De Gea) helped us not concede a goal in the first half. In the second half, we changed the defensive line to three centre-backs, which improved to a certain extent, but there is still a need to find sustained stability in the future, which can only be achieved if the whole team is united."
Referring to United's midfield problem, Longnick hinted that Manchester United can't always think of solving the problem by bringing in reinforcements, and the team must also try to make up for it.
"If there is a flaw, of course it will not help." Longnick said, "We need to work hard and I want to work with existing players. We've proven that these players can also keep a clean sheet, and the key is what they do when it comes to possession and defense. We always make too many mistakes and give the ball, and I have mentioned this in the team, we should not make mistakes so easily and let the opponent get the possession. When we're in control of the ball, decisions are important and you have to make the right choices at the right time."
The data shows that Manchester United have lost more than 300 balls in their two games against Newcastle and Wolves! Such a play, the attack naturally can not be fluent, on the contrary, will give the opponent a lot of opportunities to counterattack.
Meanwhile, United defender Fred, who recently lost his main position, insisted that it was false news that the British media said that 17 players in the team had a bad time. Fred was included in the ranks of unhappy men by the Daily Mail, but stressed: "In the last few days, I have seen some fake news mentioning the names of me and other Manchester United teammates. I didn't like to respond publicly to controversy, but this time I had to speak. I just want to say that I am very happy at Manchester United, never said dissatisfied, never thought of leaving. Don't be misled by false reports, we will continue to work hard to achieve our goals."
