The 11th round of the Premier League Manchester Derby, the final "Red Devils" Manchester United lost 0-2 to the same city rival "Blue Moon" Manchester City, I believe that before the game, not too many fans will expect Manchester United to break the boat to win the derby, so the fans are not too surprised by the 0-2 result (except for the Red Devils fans), but the mediocre performance of the Manchester United players on the field still caused many fans to criticize. After the game, the first to be criticized were Manchester United's defenders, among which Manchester United captain Harry Maguire once again became the target of public criticism, on the grounds that he had to bear some responsibility for conceding a second goal.
To blame one person for losing a game and amplifying its mistakes infinitely is common in many online reviews now, but in fact football is an eleven-person sport, and the responsibility for losing should not be borne by only one person. As we all know, in addition to losing a goal in a game because of defensive mistakes, it is also a failure from the attack. In the case of Manchester United in this game, basically even after successfully retrieving the ball at the back, it is difficult for United's midfielders to dribble the ball to the front, on the one hand, because there is no tacit understanding between Manchester United's attacking players, and they can't find their teammates to support them one second, two seconds and three seconds after taking the ball, on the other hand, because Manchester City's frontcourt pressing tactics have made Manchester United suppressed by the other side for most of the first half.
In terms of the skills and experience of the players on both sides, the strength of the two teams is actually not far apart, but the details on the field ultimately affect the overall situation. Some people say that Manchester United's defense this game is due to the lack of Raphaël varane and the defensive line is not a leader, but even if Varane can play in this game, Manchester United will not escape the defeat. In recent seasons, Manchester United have signed top stars again and again, as far as Ángel di maría in 2014 and jadon sancho, who were all hot stars in the top teams before joining Manchester United, but became "parallel goods" as expected after coming to Manchester United. Although the players themselves have certain responsibilities, the greater responsibility lies in the entire coaching team, how to let a group of players play a good tactical configuration, offensive movements, and interaction between players.
Seeing liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea carefully executing the above tactics this season, Manchester United will further compare, even if Manchester United finds Messi and Haaland today, if the details are not changed, manchester is still blue (meaning that Manchester City will always be the winner of the Manchester derby).
