At 28:00 Beijing time tonight (i.e. 4:00 a.m.), a make-up match for the 17th round of the Premier League was staged. Manchester United played promotion team Mabrentford away.
It was the first time since 1947 that United had played brentford on the stage of the English top flight, and the "Bee" army's home municipal stadium also became the 59th stadium to visit in the Red Devils Premier League era.
Manchester United coach Ronnick attended the press conference before the game and talked about many topics that fans care about, as well as focus players such as C Ronaldo, Martial, Pogba and so on. There is no doubt that the 7th-placed Red Devils need to grab points as soon as possible and catch up with the top four teams.
Longnick hopes the make-up will go smoothly, "Four weeks ago we had some situations, but now there is no problem, there are no cases of COVID-19, our players can play. As for the situation at other clubs, I can't judge. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo is about to return after missing two games due to injury, and asked if United have built a team around Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronnick said: "This is not exclusive to trusting young players, Cristiano scored 800 goals, and he has only done this in the last 80-100 years, which shows his level and achievements. But even if we have such a good C Luo, he can't do everything alone, we need the rest of the team to improve and contribute together. ”
On Pogba's contract and comeback date, Lonnick said: "I don't know how his contract extension is progressing, it's not something I'm dealing with, so I can't answer. Judging from his first training session yesterday, he is an extraordinary player. But he has not been able to play in the two games this week. It is not possible to play until two weeks after the international match. ”
"I talked to Pogba for more than an hour after training and he promised to keep working until the end of the season. He told me he wanted to be the best Pogba. The point is that after his recovery, he will play out his characteristics and continue on the pitch. ”
Martial did not make a debut for Manchester United after proposing his departure, and after the away match against Villa, Lonnick said Martial did not want to be in the squad. Martial denied it at INS, saying he would never refuse to play for Manchester United and had always respected the club and the fans.
Regarding The martial situation, Lonnick said: "I've been here for 6 weeks and I've been saying everything I've had to say at the press conference. I had a separate conversation with Martial on Sunday, I talked to him about what happened and my thoughts on the whole situation of the matter, and now the issue is resolved. ”
"Martial didn't train yesterday or the day before yesterday, and today (Tuesday's press conference) he may join the team training. After training, I will decide if he will be able to enter the lineup. Let's see what happens next. ”
The Athletic reporter said that the clash between Manchester United's generals stemmed from Anthony Martial's willingness to leave the team and his ambiguous response to Lonnick. Lonnick asked the team doctor to assess Martial's physical condition and whether he could play against Villa. Martial replied that he could not determine whether his physical condition was suitable for the competition. Lonnick believed that Martial had responded that he could not compete. Martial did not explicitly refuse, but he did not give Ronnick a positive answer.
Lonnick said at the press conference that the problem with Martial has been resolved, and I hope that this is not the result of Lonnick's compromise with Martial.
Manchester Evening News reporter predicted the first launch (433): De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Tres; McTominay, Fred, B Fee; Greenwood, C Ronaldo, Elanga
