The Premier League started again, but Manchester United drew 1-1 away to Burnley, thus losing the fourth place, which is difficult for the team to accept. Ronaldo missed a great opportunity to become a questioned player after the game, which is indeed embarrassing, but there are also some unfairness, the king of the ball has become the team's back pot king, which is also not conducive to the team's subsequent games. As United move into a one-week double-game schedule, Cristiano Ronaldo still needs to prove that his sword is not old to calm the doubts. For United to return to the top four as long as they win the play-off, so people should not blame Cristiano Ronaldo more, he only came on in the 68th minute, and if other core players are efficient, they should have locked in the victory in the first half.
The return of the king of the ball to Manchester United was originally expected to give the team more, but the current situation is that the teammates will not give C Ronaldo absolute support, which is the problem of the locker room, which is also a manifestation of the manager's incompetence, because in the case of a team failure, the manager cannot solve the problem, and uses tactical requirements to solve the problem, so this negative impact will become more and more large. What is certain is that any team that has problems in the dressing room will not be able to have a good record that season. Manchester United also lacked in the statistics of this game, the team only had 5 shots on target in 22 shots, Burnley had 9 shots and 3 shots on target, and the relegation team finally drew with a reason. In the first half, Manchester United had an advantage of 62% to 38% of the ball, but only one goal was scored, which did show that the team's play was not in place.
Admittedly, Cavani and Rashford missed some chances as Maguire was in an offside position, so Varane's goal was also blown away. United's only goal was an opportunity created by Luke Shaw, who has assisted his teammates on multiple occasions this season, including Cristiano Ronaldo. His inverted triangle pass in this round helped Pogba build a role, and the goal of the same player who has been questioned every season has reduced the doubts of the outside world, but the odds of leaving the team this summer are still very high, because he has not been able to get the absolute support of the fans, and the Manchester United who cannot win the title has no attraction.
It is worth mentioning that Marcus Rashford was also involved in this goal, unfortunately he played 85 minutes of the game and did not score, his personal data is 3 shots on goal, 2 shots on target, 1 threatening ball pass, 5 passes, 17 passes Success rate of 82.35%. C Ronaldo played 22 minutes of the game also had 3 shots on target, unfortunately there was no shot on target, the success rate of 6 passes was 83.33%, and his teammates did not give C Ronaldo more support, so it was inevitable that he could not make a contribution.
In fact, in the first half, Manchester United still had the opportunity to extend the lead, but unfortunately they were missed. In the first half, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford combined to create the opponent's oolong ball, but the referee was invalidated by Pogba's foul and blew the penalty first. After that, Rashford was heavily guarded, and B Fee did not grasp the few scoring opportunities, so there was only a one-goal lead at the end of the half. Missed opportunities on the football pitch will be punished, which has also been confirmed many times. Burnley's goal was a counter-attack opportunity shortly after the start of the second half, when a long pass from the right tore through the defence and Weehost scored the ball to Rodriguez, who broke through the box and pushed it to the top. At the beginning of the second half, United's defense was problematic, with six people in the front but did not block the opponent's pass, let alone prevent the players from breaking through, and Maguire's back line was no longer as stable as before.
After Ronaldo came on, the opponent also strengthened his defense, and successively used fouls to limit Manchester United's attack, which also made it impossible for players to form an absolute scoring opportunity. Ronaldo has failed to score two headers, which is very uncomfortable for players who are accustomed to scoring goals with their feet, and it can also be seen that the problems encountered by the team during the pursuit of points are relatively large. For a long time, Ronaldo and B Fee did not have more connections, the latter played the whole game, and there was some silence in the second half of the second half.
It is worth mentioning that after C Ronaldo came on as a substitute in the 68th minute, the first time he took the ball was in the 74th minute, when Varane's unsuccessful shot grabbed the ball, and then passed back to C Ronaldo, who distributed the ball to Rashford, but unfortunately this attack only won a corner opportunity for the team. C Ronaldo is selfless, but unfortunately his teammates did not give him more opportunities to attack, tactical corner opportunities did not give C Ronaldo's feet, and then the manager was replaced by Jesse Lingard, B Fei has twice taken the ball to Rashford, the team's tactical intention is still very obvious, and there has not been some changes because of the appearance of C Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's second possession was a tactical corner kick opportunity, and it was Luke Shaw who gave him the ball, but unfortunately C Ronaldo's hammer was high on the goal. At the end of the game, Luke Shaw took the ball and passed it to B Fee, who made the ball for C Ronaldo for the first time, and the ball king chose to pass to Darot, but unfortunately, the subsequent cross was directly passed out of bounds, C Ronaldo is not a lone wolf, but his trusted teammates have wasted the opportunity. In the 84th minute, the manager replaced Marcus Rashford with Erlanga, a substitution that is difficult to understand, because the team wants to reverse the score rather than accept a 1-1 draw, and it is indeed a whimsical feeling to expect this player to reverse the result of the draw.
The game was about to enter injury time, Lingard chose to pass the ball to Ronaldo after breaking the ball, who passed back to Luke Shaw, the attack was finally released by B Fee to pick out the penalty area, Sancho only had to break the ball and complete a shot that was destroyed again. Manchester United continued to attack, Andelonga picked out the penalty area to help Cristiano Ronaldo complete the header, unfortunately it was high again. In stoppage time, Luke Shaw sent the ball straight to Ronaldo, who left a regret when his shot was blocked, because this opportunity was indeed a good chance to break the goal. However, in the final sprint stage, Jesse Lingard and Maguire did not convert the offensive opportunity into a goal, so the team's problems on the offensive end were multifaceted, and Cristiano Ronaldo really should not bear too much blame.
From this game, we can see some of The problems of Manchester United, how to solve it also needs the manager's planning, provided that the team must give C Ronaldo, who can influence the outcome of the game, more opportunities, otherwise it may lose points. Manchester United will then sit at home at Home to Southampton on 12 February 20:30, the away team ranks 12th in the Premier League, is also a very tenacious team, the last round of the league home 1-1 draw Manchester City, the first match of the season against Manchester United is also a 1-1 draw, and then also 0-0 draw Manchester City, 1-1 Tottenham, so this battle Man lenovo is more difficult to win.
