"I sympathize with Lonnick, he still has to lead the team through the rest of the games, it's really hard. I know what it feels like when the Liverpool manager says he's a little sympathetic to him, but that's the way it is. He's going to lead the team through the rest of the game, and I can understand that it's really hard. Recently, Liverpool manager Klopp spoke about his German counterpart in an interview with the media.
Indeed, as the liverpool manager, who just led the team to beat Manchester United 4-0, he said sympathetic words after the game, which inevitably gave people a false feeling. But from the perspective of a manager, Klopp understands Lonnick's many difficulties.
We can see that Klopp has an absolute voice in Liverpool, with the trust of the top and the support of the players. As a result, he can build the squad exactly according to his own will and play the football he wants. Longnick, at best, is a temporary worker at United, and after determining this identity, he can basically predict the resistance he will encounter.
There is no way there will be reinforcements in the winter window, and the players know that he will leave after half a season, which will definitely be a bit of a yin and yang. This was also confirmed by the media, with Lonnick complaining privately that The United players did not follow his tactical arrangements and ignored his instructions. In addition, the physical fitness, technology and consciousness of the Manchester United players can not meet the tactical requirements of Lonnick, what else can he do? To be honest, being a manager in such an environment is the most depressing, and Guardiola and Klopp are the envy of all managers.
In the second leg of this season, Liverpool beat Manchester United 4-0 again, and the aggregate score of two legs reached a staggering 9-0, which should not be the gap that the two giants should be, but this is the reality. When it comes to Manchester United's problems, Klopp's words directly poke at The biggest shortcoming of Manchester United: "You play with Liverpool and there is no defensive midfielder, this is not good news, this is the situation they are in. ”
That's right, a defensive midfielder, which has been a problem that has plagued United for years. In the first leg of the double red, then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lined up the "McFred" double-back combination, but was beaten 5-0; in the second leg, both of them were hard injured, and Lonnick sent a double-high combination of Nemanja Matic and Pogba. The former's age has increased and his running ability has declined, the latter originally did not like to defend, once the defense was not timely, Liverpool's front court was a fast, flexible attacker, penetrating the Manchester United defense in minutes.
Judging from recent Manchester United rumors, Tenhag is already aware of the problem. There is no doubt that United will definitely bring in a new defensive midfielder this summer, with Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez now being the favourite. The Mexican international was brought to Ajax by Tenhag and has grown rapidly since landing in Europe, and is not worth much, only 20 million.
In addition, potential targets include Ruben Neves, Joan Ameni and the top local "hukou book" Rice, we will wait and see.
