In recent years, many players have been rejuvenated once they leave Manchester United, but this law has not happened to the French demon king Martial. In his debut on loan to La Liga with Sevilla, Martial performed poorly despite being entrusted with a heavy start, being replaced early, and the team manager Lopetegui also publicly criticized his performance, pointing out that the polo king must work harder to contribute to the team.
The 26-year-old Martial lost his main position at Manchester United and has a dispute with interim manager Lonnick over the competition. Eventually, he was loaned out to Sevilla by Manchester United, when the French striker boasted that he would use his experience to help the new owners compete with Real Madrid for the league title.
However, contrary to expectations, both Martial and the team suffered blows in Sevilla's match against Osasuna. Manchester United's first league start in 4 months, but his form is quite sluggish, wearing the No. 22 jersey Martial touched the ball 55 times, but did not complete a kick or threaten to pass, only 2 passes, 2 mistakes, 4 directly by the opponent.
In the end, Lopetegui chose to remove him 14 minutes before the end of the game. Not only that, Sevilla did not finally break the opponent's goal, in the final moments of the game, they had a chance to kill the ball, but the famous Rakitic's shot was directly deflected by the goalkeeper.
After the draw, Sevilla were further extended by Real Madrid to extend their lead, which was already six points behind their opponents. Manager Lopetegui was not happy with Martial's debut, directly reminding him that "more must be paid". As we all know, when playing for Manchester United, Martial was criticized for not working hard enough in the game.
Lopetegui, who is also on United's shortlist for future official manager, has put it bluntly: "Anthony [Martial] has to give us much more." Of course, it was his first game, it wasn't easy to adapt, and he came with baggage because he had barely played, so he had to keep up with the pace little by little."
