Both matches of the matchday ended in draws, with Benfica 2-2 Ajax and Atletico Madrid 1-1 Manchester United. In this article, we focus on the atletico vs Manchester United match. If you have seen this game of friends, there must be such a sigh: Atletico Madrid did not win at home is indeed a bit of a loss, Manchester United played like this can actually withdraw from the whole body, should have been thankful for a long time.
Atletico vs Manchester United
Why? Because with the performance of Manchester United, it is already a blessing not to lose, because the performance of the whole team is not worthy of winning, let's analyze the shortcomings exposed by the whole team in this game.
The midfield is weak, and the core players are difficult to fight hard
United's starting midfield trio for this game are Pogba, Fred and Bruno Fernandez. Pogba and Fred doubled backs and Bruno Fernandez came forward. Seemingly reasonable configuration, Pogba retreated from the organization, Fred swept, Bruno Fernandez offensive output. However, these three did not play their due role, and the core players did not play well, and it was difficult to fight a hard battle.
Take Pogba, for example, in the back position, too sticky ball, and after the end of the first half manchester United fell behind, Pogba's data is not good, the pass success rate is 82%, 3 passes 0 success, 13 confrontations only win 4 times, 12 times lose the ball, for the midfielder in the back position, such data is not good, even dangerous.

There is also Bruno Fernandez, although United's goal for the equalizer came from his assist and should be given a credit in the credit book, but before the equalizer, he did not play well. His weakness is that he is difficult to fight hard battles and his style is soft. Facing Atletico Madrid, the famous "hard bone" of The European arena, Bruno Fernandez's shortcomings were even more exposed. Fear of being forced to grab and lose the ball. Throughout the game, Bruno Fernandez's pass success rate was only 73%, 0 successful crosses in 4 passes, 3 successes in 8 long passes, 23 losses of ball, and at the beginning of the game, he frequently lost the ball, so that the commentator said: "Losing so many balls in a short period of time, the state of B Fee is not right." ”

The defence was poor and the Manchester United captain continued to slump
This season, Manchester United captain Maguire's state has fluctuated seriously, often performing low-level mistakes on the field, criticized by fans, and Manchester United conceded goals in this game, Maguire still has to bear a certain responsibility.
Atletico 1-0 Manchester United
Looking at Felix's wonderful fish leaping top-of-the-line goal, Maguire's backline is responsible, if they want to create an offside position, they undoubtedly failed to create an offside position, after the goal, the video assistant referee drew an offside line, and Maguire just dragged at the end. Even if there is no offside position, Maguire did not follow up in time, so that Manchester United fans joked: "Change the name to 'Cow Quayle'." "In the past, the aircraft carrier turned around slowly, but now how to start decelerating."

The cross is not accurate, and C Luo is difficult to find a good opportunity
The defence is not good, and United's attack is also a problem. In this game, C Ronaldo started and played the whole game, C Ronaldo has super head ability, so Manchester United made a large number of crosses, but the teammates did not give force, C Ronaldo did not get the opportunity, so he did not have the opportunity to score. Why don't your teammates give it a? Because there are many crosses, but there is no accurate head, the position of C Ronaldo cannot be passed, and it is all white. Let's take a look at some of United's crosses:
Manchester United's outrageous crosses (1)
Manchester United's outrageous crosses (2)
Manchester United's outrageous crosses (3)
The whole game, more than these 3 shots, such an outrageous cross, C Ronaldo can find the opportunity is strange. If you can say mistakes 2 times a time, more than 3 times can not be called a mistake. Such an outrageous cross actually appeared in a traditional well-known giant like Manchester United, and this kind of cross is probably the Chinese Super League level.
Cristiano Ronaldo had no chance
Conclusion: It is fortunate not to lose, and it should be fortunate to be able to withdraw from the whole body
In this game, Atletico's performance was better than Manchester United, but Manchester United equalized, and it has to be said that Manchester United is still "big". United should be thankful to be able to retire from the home of Atletico. Back at home in the second leg, United had to adjust themselves and with that performance, it was difficult to qualify.
