Live Bar January 14 news At 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 16, the 22nd round of the 2021-22 Premier League season, Manchester United will challenge Aston Villa away. Previously, in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United beat their opponents 1-0 to advance. In the pre-league press conference, Manchester United interim manager Ronnick was present, and he talked about some of the current situation of the team.
Regarding the team's injury situation – Ronaldo, Sancho, Maguire and Jones are expected to return
Lonnick: "I think they'll be able to play, but they only trained together for the first time yesterday. Ronaldo trained yesterday and Maguire trained the day before yesterday. We'll have to wait for the last training session this afternoon to see what's going on, but now it looks like they can play. ”
About playing Vera again
Lonnick: "At least we know what the challenges are, we know how they play. We also know we can beat them and now all we need is to perform as best as possible on the pitch in order to win again. ”
Where did the Premier League surprise you?
Lonnick: "I wouldn't say it surprised me, no winter break was what I expected. What surprises me a little is that in this league, smaller teams are very savvy both physically and tactically, and it is not easy to face teams downstream of the table. ”
About Dean Henderson
Lonnick: "I told him I wanted him to stay, he was a fantastic goalkeeper and I really wanted him to stay. At his age, I totally understand why he wants to play, but we still have three races to compete in and I can understand his desire to win regular game time. ”
About van der Beek
Lonnick: "It's the same as Dean Henderson's situation, I'm happy he's joining the team, he's always shown a high level in training. We had an exchange two weeks ago and I suggested he stay until the end of the season. He wanted to play in the World Cup and Louis van Gaal told him he needed to play regularly and I understand that, but there was a lot of competition in our squad. ”
About finding a balance tactically
Lonnick: "I'm fully aware that this can't happen overnight, it's a work in progress. We've shown that we concede fewer goals and it's still about game control. Obviously, we've taken some steps, but things can still get better and I need to find the most suitable formation. ”
About the work in progress
Lonnick: "If you want to control the game, you can do it in two ways, one is to know how you want to play when the opponent has excellent possession and counter-attack, and the other is how to get control when your side has possession of the ball. We've taken some steps, but not as fast as I wanted, as a coach you're never patient, you always want to move forward quickly, it all depends on the outcome of each game, tomorrow as well. ”
About the team's performance so far
Lonnick: "As I said, first of all it's about getting results and points, we were all distracted by the defeat against Wolves. Now we have to get the results and get as many points as possible. It's about balance, how can we kick aggression without conceding too many goals? ”
