Youth Storm? No, veteran Evergreen! At the most critical moment in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United position, he finally chose to send the Red Devils' most trusted forward partner - center Cavani and superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. And the two goalscorers who added up to 70 years old did not disappoint the manager, C Ronaldo passed the achievements, Cavani's first goal of the season, the veteran did not die, and Manchester United won 3-0.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 36, and Cavani, 34, are the two oldest of United's non-goalkeeper players. But they play more reasonably and run more flexibly than Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood, 10 years younger, on the pitch.
In Ronaldo's first goal, he resolutely cut to the back point, successfully predicted the rise of Tottenham defender Davis, and directly completed the volley. The ball is the perfect combination of consciousness, running position and footwork. Who also said that C Ronaldo was not suitable for Manchester United's system and was a sinner who dragged Down Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? In fact, as the famous Premier League goalscorer Dini said, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs to build a Manchester United attack around the Portuguese superstar and equip him with the right teammates.
In the second half, Ronaldo once again resolutely inserted another blast to break the goal, because the slight offside was blown off, but the due cooperation had been played. Professional football has nothing to do with age, ability speaks for itself, and today Ronaldo is still far superior to Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Martial and Sancho. If these talented players want to occupy the position of Ronaldo, they should rely on their own ability to prove it, not to say that I am younger, more potential, and farther ahead, so I ask the manager to reuse it.
In addition to scoring a goal, C Ronaldo also assisted Cavani in the second half, opta data shows that 36 years old and 267 days of C Ronaldo tied another record. He was the same age as Drogba in 2014, scoring a single Premier League goal plus assists, and interestingly, Chelsea's opponent at the time was also Tottenham.
In fact, according to Rashford and Greenwood' previous appearances, they were obsessed with personal breakthroughs and shots, unwilling to implement tactics, and gave C Ronaldo more passes, they should have sat on the cold bench and reflected. If they can learn to run and cooperate, the existence of C Luo does not delay their development.
Uruguayan striker Cavani, on the other hand, demonstrated to two young attackers what to do. In this game, Cavani made his debut and did not play the whole game, but the running distance has exceeded 10 kilometers. Not only did he lead the court with four shots on goal, but on the defensive end, Cardazzo also contributed 1 tackle, 1 clearance and 1 foul.
Among the goals scored by Edinson Cavani, the most worthy of learning from Manchester United's young striker is not only the final dexterous shot, but also his running position! Manchester United's No. 21 running line is worth a look at Marcus Rashford, Greenwood and Martial, but unlike the fans who simply appreciate it, they should learn the wisdom of this positive, smart running.
After Fernandez broke the ball, Cavani, who was originally in the back position, desperately ran forward. But when Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball, the Uruguayan, who had already run parallel to the opponent, was not too anxious, he ran a circuitous line, first turned to the side and moved a few steps, then resolutely stepped forward, breaking through Tottenham's offside tactics, single-handedly facing the French national Lory, shaking the opponent with his body, and then picking the goalkeeper to score.
Marcus Rashford came off the bench and added to his signature counter-attack to give United their biggest away win over the White Lily since their 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in February 2007. Solskjaer has re-established himself as manager, and the most important thing he needs to thank is undoubtedly the "2C combination", the two embraced and celebrated in the new White Hart Lane, and Manchester United fans also hope that the veteran pair can play more together.
Because of the arrival of C Ronaldo, he gave up the No. 7 jersey and changed to the No. 21 Cavani, and did not lie dormant like Martial. Instead, he was once again in danger of being the Savior and saved Solskjaer. The so-called youth storm seems to be full of passion and the future is immeasurable, but if Manchester United wants to really achieve good results, it is absolutely inseparable from the veterans.
