Previously, due to injury, Cristiano Ronaldo missed two consecutive games against Villa, but fortunately, against Brentford away, he finally returned and immediately contributed.
In this round, Manchester United beat Brentford 3-1 away from home, including the first 2 goals, although Ronaldo did not score or assist, but his running position and doing the ball are absolutely key. In the 54th minute of the second half, Manchester United scored first, scoring by the talented youngster Erlanga.
At that time, Fred picked up the ball in front of the field and picked out a pass into the box, Erlanga stepped forward, and then he did not rush to shoot, but chose to pick the ball (or may not have stopped the ball), this action was unexpected, also shook the goalkeeper, and then Erlanga's header broke the goal to give Manchester United the lead.
In this attack, the role of C Luo cannot be ignored. Seeing fred with the ball, and Elanga ready to insert forward, C Ronaldo immediately ran back, at this time, Brentford at least 2 defenders, was taken away by C Ronaldo, they just stared at C Ronaldo, completely ignoring the Elanga who had already inserted forward, the latter finally hit the opponent.
If brentford defenders hadn't gone to see Cristiano Ronaldo, they would have been 2-man sandwiches, and It would have been almost impossible for Erlanga to score. I have to say that Manchester United's cooperation this time is really amazing, C Ronaldo runs back, Fred picks a pass, Erlanga inserts, a series of actions, so that Brentford's defense completely collapsed.
In the 62nd minute, Ronaldo had another wonderful performance, he received a half-high ball from Scott McTominay, and then directly to the chest, it was done to Fernandez, who was plugged in at high speed, and then the goal happened.
Since he had just recovered from injury, Lonnick did not let Ronaldo play the whole game, and in the 71st minute, Ronaldo was replaced, and the Portuguese superstar was also very dissatisfied. From the perspective of the game process, although C Luo is not in the best state, he has played a great role in the attack, and his ability to run and do the ball has really benefited his teammates a lot.
However, considering that in a few days, Manchester United will also play West Ham at home, Lonnick can not be blamed for replacing Ronaldo. I hope C Ronaldo is not angry, there are still successive battles behind him, he wants to play more games, it is important to retain physical strength and spend energy in the focus war, especially in the World Cup play-offs, if C Ronaldo is not in shape, Portugal will be hanging!
