Recently, the British media compared United's winning percentages this season under two managers, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ronnick. The final comparison result was: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer commanded 17 games, the record was 7 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, the winning percentage was 41.18%; Lonnick led the team in 21 games, the record was 9 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses, the winning rate was 42.86%.
When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was out, Manchester United was seventh in the Premier League and out of the League Cup; Lonnick led the team to the present, Manchester United ranked sixth in the Premier League, and the FA Cup and the Champions League were out in succession.
In terms of winning percentage, Lonnick is only a little higher than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and the ranking is only one place higher than when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer led the team, in plain words - Manchester United's change of coach, white change.
With Villarreal beating Bundesliga banjar Bayern 1-0 at the Love Song Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, perhaps fans around the world should rethink the question – is Solskjaer a bit wronged?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been in charge of Manchester United for more than 3 years, except for the first season in the middle of the first season, the other two seasons, one third place, one runner-up, the results are acceptable, the progress is visible. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's shortcomings are gradually exposed in broad daylight - the tactics rely on a defensive counterattack, encountering a shrunken opponent without a clue, and the on-site conductor is always slow and half a beat...
This season, Woodward brought Sancho and Varane to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the summer window, reinforcing United's defence and forward line, and with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Old Trafford in the expected way, Manchester United became the favourite to win the Premier League.
But the addition of C Ronaldo completely disrupted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's preparations, he can no longer rely only on defensive counterattacks to "support his family", he has to change his tactics, to use his worst position warfare to deal with opponents.
Coaching Manchester United for 3 years, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer went from "Sosho" in the mouth of the fans, to "Soshaw", and finally became "Soho", and finally left the class. Not counting the temporary rescue of Giggs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the fourth manager United has been fired in 9 years since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Frankly speaking, as the manager of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is indeed very hard and serious, but his qualifications are limited, and he cannot achieve the "great reconstruction" he has promised.
However, once Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appeared on a defensive counterattack, the record was still impressive. In this season's Champions League group stage, Manchester United won the first place in the group after encountering a black opening, and 6 points in 2 games with Villarreal was the key to it. In those 2 games, Manchester United was almost always suppressed by Villarreal, relying on sharp counter-attacks to laugh to the end.
Villarreal eventually came in second in the group and only lost to Manchester United. 1/8 final against Juve, Villarreal 1-1 at home, 3-0 away from home to eliminate the Serie A overlords, advancing to the quarterfinals. In the first leg of the quarter-finals, Villarreal ended the bundesliga's magical record of 25 away games in the Champions League...
In other words, Villarreal has not lost in the Champions League so far, except for losing 2 games to Manchester United. Perhaps Villarreal will eventually be eliminated by Bayern, but so far, only Manchester United, led by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, can win.
So, is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a bit wronged? Compare that to Arteta, who started the season with three consecutive defeats, the worst in Arsenal history, and is now leading the team to compete for four. On the other hand, Manchester United, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also set the worst record in the club's history, they chose to trust, but chose to give up this season...
Of course, this is not to say that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will lead United to success if he continues to lead the team, and the clear-eyed people can see where United's current problems are. However, one thing is for sure, if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had continued his old fashion, United's road to four would certainly not have been as difficult as it is now.
