On January 20, Beijing time, Manchester United beat Brentford 3-1 away. Youngster Erlanga opened the scoring, Greenwood and Rashford sealed the win, and B Fei assisted to score twice. After the game, Lonnick was interviewed and talked about the reasons why Ronaldo was replaced early.
Ronaldo started, the header hit the crossbar, the chest ball sent an indirect assist, but did not score, in the 71st minute was replaced by Maguire, after the game, the president was suspected of dissatisfaction, Lonnick comforted.
Why did you replace C Luo early? The United interim manager explained: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a striker and it's normal for him to want to score goals. He has just recovered from injury. We're leading 2-0, and that's the same when we play Villa, and I think we need to be more solid. Changing five backs was the right decision. That is to say, there are two main reasons: first, Ronaldo has just recovered from injury and needs to protect him; second, Manchester United need to replace the defender to keep the victory.
De Gea made a number of saves and was one of the heroes of United's victory, with Lonnick praising: "I would say he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world right now. ”
Youngster Erlanga started consecutive games to open the scoring for United, and after the game he said: "I want to continue to work hard and score more goals. I really appreciate the manager and you can see the intensity in our training. He also praised Ronaldo: "It's an honor to play with a great player like Ronaldo, you just have to enjoy every game and training." ”
