4-2, in the case of the competition for the fourth opponent have shown a ferocious momentum to grab points, the Red Devils Manchester United shouldered the pressure to double-kill Leeds United and won the Premier League Rose derby. In the game, Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo played 85 minutes in the starting game, 2 shots and 1 goal without assists, and only scored the third lowest point of the team after the game with 6.4 points.
Leeds United have only won five Premier League games so far this season, and the shadow of relegation has not been eliminated, while Manchester United, although ranked 4th, also has many pursuits such as West Ham, Arsenal, Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur, so both teams are bound to win in this game. United lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Wan-Bissaka rotating, but due to Pogba's higher position, United were in a 4-1-4-1 formation for most of the game.
The game was played in heavy rain, and there were many passing errors on both sides, and the confrontation was very fierce. In the 12th minute of the match, McTominay collided with Koch, whose brow bone was full of blood and could not be replaced in the 29th minute. Just four minutes later, United took advantage of a corner kick to be scored by captain Maguire's header, the first time in the Premier League that they scored in a corner this season, after 139 corners had been fruitless. In injury time in the first half, B fei's header opened the scoring.
The second half was a series of twists and turns, starting with Leeds United scoring two goals in 2 minutes to tie the score at 2-2. At the crucial moment, Lonnick showed magic, and his deployment will be miraculous, and the substitute Fred and Eranga scored successively to finally lock the score at 4-2.
In this campaign, United had less possession and fewer shots on goal, but scored four goals on 9 shots to show considerable offensive efficiency. B Fee's passing credits, Sancho's assists and double-double goals from both substitutes were impressive. However, in the crowd of celebrations, the old comrade C Luo looked a little lonely.
In this game, Ronaldo started the game for 85 minutes and was replaced by Varane, 28 touches, 2 shots on goal, 1 shot was blocked, 1 key pass was sent, and 4 times lost the ball. Under the fierce close-quarters of Leeds United, the 37-year-old C Ronaldo could only change his previous strategy of crouching in the box, avoiding his sharp retreat and seeking the opportunity to take the ball outside the box. However, this willing way of playing has benefited the entire Manchester United team.
Fred's goal in the 69th minute came from Ronaldo's ball outside the box. Maguire's opening record and B fee expansion score are also directly related to the opponent's defensive attention being attracted by Ronaldo. Judging from the game, Ronaldo no longer squats in the penalty area, but gives B Fee and Pogba and others room to frequently insert forward. Taking B Fee as an example, his pass success rate in this game was only 48%, but he completed a good play of passing and shooting, and the offensive energy was released to the fullest. Sancho and Pogba also got comfortable offensive space, with the former scoring twice in assists and the latter delivering a game-high five successful breakouts.
Therefore, withdrawing to take the ball, taking the opponent's defender out of the box, and creating a comfortable offensive space for his teammates may be the most correct way for C Ronaldo to open at this stage. This style of play can also avoid his direct confrontation with the opposing defender, saving more physical strength to complete the fatal blow. Next week's Champions League knockout match with Atletico, it is estimated that Lonnick also has a good idea.
