Lonnick also couldn't move Manchester United.
There was a similar start to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but without the blessing of the Norwegian spare tire, before he could familiarize himself with his subordinates, he heard a sound of inverted color...
Lonnick, who has only lost one game in charge of Manchester United so far, would never have imagined that he would actually become the number one sinner in the current difficult situation of the team.
From 10 points in 4 rounds, to manchester United, who were thrown out of the European zone again in two rounds, freezing three feet is not a cold day - the high position pushed by the new red devils coach is not the appetite of his subordinates; and the more likely future is that the generals who are accustomed to being a monk hit the clock for a day, so that the already rootless foreigner Lonnick will quit in helplessness.
Two months later, United were back on the same path.
Rushing around, no one paid attention
The new coach has a new atmosphere, Lonnick is naturally no exception, manchester United career first game against Crystal Palace, the indomitable Manchester United to the whole field "rush to encircle" to let the same London team known for its toughness be tied up.
However, the high position on which Lonnick started was forced, and after this battle, it disappeared.
Of course, Longnick did not take office at the right time, which is indeed an objective reason - before the Germans had time to familiarize themselves with their disciples, Manchester United became the number one hit area when the new crown epidemic intensified in the Premier League at the end of last year, and Phil Jones, who had not appeared for more than 700 days, came back to save the car, which shows the current difficulties of the Red Devils.
But now that the team has survived the epidemic, the personnel is not a problem, and the scene is dull and negative, which is no different from the era of solso.
Losing at home to Wolves, United were dizzy by opponents rushing to the fence, the first 20 minutes, the two sides shot 2-8, in one hour, the two sides corner kicks 0-8, all 13 statistics, Manchester United only in fouls (3-2), openballs (7-1) and saves are better than each other.
Considering wolves' 14-goal offensive firepower in the Premier League, being beaten so badly by opponents who are not good at attacking, Lonnick's first crisis of trust began.
Ramsey pulled a goal back for Villa.
And Vera chased two goals in 4 minutes, And Manchester United's problem is still the same - although the double back is faithfully executing the manager's intentions, but more often than not, it is useless. After all, fred everywhere is everywhere teammates who are not involved in defense, and Nemanja Matic is not known for his ability to move, and in front of Villa's scud legs, he is particularly bulky.
But it is strange that Lonnick, who has so many starting slots, insists on going all the way to the black, until Villa equalizes with understatement, and then remembers the change.
Van de Beek's appearance certainly avoided the disconnected Manchester United from getting out of control further, but it is clear that in the two meetings with Gerrard, who is equally inexperienced in the Premier League, Ronnick, who was lucky and defeated, was closer to the loser.
Coutinho made his debut for Villa and scored a goal of a draw.
The Germans could only criticize themselves after the game: "It's hard to find the positives in these 95 minutes, we only dominated the 30 minutes, to be honest it was more like a failure, we wanted to try to show progress, but the status quo was disappointing." ”
With a darker past and an even more confused future, it's no wonder that goal hero Bruno Fernandez was listless in his post-match interview: "I'm not happy at all, even if I score, I'd rather the team win the game than I don't play." ”
Lonnick's adjustment was even worse than Gerrard's.
A bowl of water, uneven
During his time at Hoffenheim and Red Bull Leipzig, As an absolute authority, Ronnick had the sword of the management and the support of a group of players.
However, the German, who is accustomed to saying one thing and the other, obviously takes the Manchester United dressing room too simply, and several too drastic personnel adjustments have not only failed to kill the chickens and monkeys, but have provoked the fire.
After changing the squad from the weird 4222 back to 4231, Rashford and Martial, who had been partners since the Van Gaal era, could have found their place in the system that suited them best as soon as possible – however, the two waited to be excluded from the competition list (although Rashford was not selected because of injury).
Lonnick seems to be at odds with the Manchester United players.
In the eyes of Lonnick, the Red Devils' No. 10 and No. 9, at present, Mo said that the contribution, the attitude has obvious problems: Marcus Rashford in the FA Cup against Villa, obviously has the opportunity to go forward to make up for the shot, but the local stall is dissatisfied with the missed opportunity of his teammates, such a slack attitude, even his own fans can not see it.
But for Martial's handling, Lonnick made a similar mistake to Mourinho: at that time, the French striker refused to go overseas with the team for training due to accompanying his wife in childbirth, which made the faceless "madman" immediately issue a "three stops" notice. But this time, Lonnick unilaterally made the decision not to let him participate without any disciplinary action.
Talking about why Martial was put into the cold, Lonnick's rhetoric was really laughable: "He should have been on the list, but he didn't want to." ”
Ronnick had fallen out with Marcus Rashford.
The pot is particularly clean and neat, but fans who know the inside story of Manchester United know that Martial, who is not in the eyes of Lonnick, the winter window is always the one that the former insists on sending away, but no team is willing to bear The full salary of Martial, let alone raise the loan fee of up to 6 million euros. Ronnick's move is quite a posture of forcing his subordinates to obey.
But what Lonnick can't look up to, why not just these two people? Players such as Sancho, Jesse Lingard, van der Beek, Bailly and Dean Henderson were all disappointed that they had not been able to get a chance under Ronnick. But Ronnick, who decides everything with a faithful attitude, is unmoved:
"Our staffing is too big and everyone should be fighting for a start in training. If someone is unwilling or unable to do so, the club will consult with the player and his agent to deal with it. ”
However, the statement that seems to be equal, in execution, is another matter. When Lonnick took office, he showed a distinctive preference for two players: one was Maguire, who had previously played poorly, and would not appear in the starting lineup until he was injured.
Another example of Ronnick is the hard-working Cavani. "Dazuo", who was already close to signing with Barca, was retained by Lonnick after a heart-to-heart talk, and even replaced C Ronaldo as the starting center in 2 games.
When it comes to forcibly retaining people, Lonnick is not shy about it: "We must play with high intensity and high confrontation, and Cavani's spirit and efficiency are a model for everyone." ”
Sounds true, but fans with a slightly better memory will not forget that at the beginning of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure, he also played a few good games with the enthusiasm of young people, but no one wants to continue to run, defend and fight bitterly, and after one season, the team has completely changed its taste...
After losing to Wolves, Ronnick left the game in disgrace.
Strange positioning, failure is inevitable?
It is obviously not fair enough to blame all of United's problems on Lonnick 's head – after all, the German is just the acting manager of the team for the remaining half of the season, and the real accountability is still the Top Brass and players of Manchester United.
As early as the beginning of Lonnick's tenure, many media experts questioned the practice of Manchester United's top brass: Lonnick's tenure only ended this season, and the German had no previous experience in coaching the giants, which greatly weakened his authority in front of the players.
This fear proved to be by no means superfluous. The first to express malice towards Lonnick was precisely C Ronaldo, who has been controversial since his return.
The Portuguese, while not criticizing the German boss's tactical arrangements, bluntly rebuked Ronnick's goal for the season: "I can't accept our ideologically expected goal, which is to be below the top three in the Premier League. I came here to win, to race. ”
Seeing that C Luo is difficult to publicly, Ronnick, who knows that his influence is not at the same level, can only go downhill: "C Luo or other people, directly express their opinions on the pitch or in the locker room, I will very welcome them to do so." ”
Obviously, such a statement is not enough to make C Luo side with the manager. In fact, most of United's players now have consciously or unconsciously become the antithesis of Lonnick.
This has long been unsightly to many treble-era celebrities, Keane has criticized Manchester United players for "throwing Mourinho under the bus"; after losing to Wolves, Scholes also angrily denounced Manchester United as a "stinky dung pit".
An intriguing fact – on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's last day at Manchester United, he returned to Carrington to pack up his belongings, and when an employee asked him why he didn't publicly expose the players who had disappointed him, he was greeted by a Norwegian smile and a shrug.
Now, the unknown Lonnick has taken over this "legacy" from him, and since the players can play the manager in a collectively dysfunctional way against Watford, it is not difficult to do it again. (Supine Braces/Yang Jian)
