Chapter 119 Far

Chapter 119 Fallen

After Manchester United defeated Spartak Moscow away, they had already secured a qualifying spot in the C group of the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule. The 12-pointer scored 6 points more than Atletico Madrid, which ranked second, and 9 points more than Spartak Moscow, which ranked third.

Even if Manchester United scores 1 point in the remaining two rounds of games, they will qualify as the top spot in Group C.

Manchester United's performance really made Manchester United fans very pleased, especially when they attacked Spartak Moscow away from home and finally won. This is simply a sign of the complete recovery of the "Red Devils".

Back in England, Manchester United was also unanimously praised by the media and supporters. Everyone felt that Manchester United's change in tactical style announced the official return of the "Red Devils" who intimidated the entire Europe.

Mourinho saw all this, but kept sneering in his heart... A group of ignorant people, do you know football?

Football is not as simple as you see!?

Of course, he knows his own team best. Mourinho is now sure that the team will encounter huge crises and even lose continuously.

The strength of this Manchester United team is actually not worse than that of Manchester United in the era of "Sir" Ferguson, but the problem is... the opponent has become stronger!

In the era when the "Red Devils" dominated the European football world, football was not the current model. No team spent money like Manchester City today. Even when Abraham joined Stamford Bridge, Mourinho's spending money to sign in that era caused a sensation in Europe. But today... it may be enough for Guardiola to buy two or three players in Manchester City!

The European football environment has changed. As the most competitive Premier League, it has become even more cruel. Otherwise, David Moyes and Van Gaal would not have left Manchester United in disgrace.

Manchester United, who has returned from Moscow, welcomed the 11th round of the Premier League this season with praise. This time they will go to London to play at Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur, who temporarily rented the stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur is still very strong at the moment. Kane, Eriksen, Ali, Alderweireld, Son Heung-min and others are all very powerful players. The most important thing is... this team is very united!

Under the leadership of Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur also entered the Champions League. He was separated with Juventus, Feyenoord and Anderlecht in Group A, and the pressure to qualify in the group was still quite high.

Before the game, Mourinho fully "respected" the players' opinions when arranging tactics for the team, and also took the stance of a strong offensive away game.

Rui Faria couldn't help but express his concern to Mourinho: "Jose, do you really think we will have a good result when we go against Tottenham Hotspur in the away game?"

Mourinho sneered: "Good result? It's very difficult!"

"Then...will you still make such arrangements?"

Mourinho sighed and smiled bitterly: "Ruy, don't you think it's a big mistake to let Pogban be the captain of the team?"

"this……"

"Ruy, he is the one who causes trouble in Moscow! What do you say to revive the 'Red Devils'! But this kid... he knows nothing about football? The current environment has changed. He is still missing Manchester United in the past. He can't see the reality clearly!"

"But if we do this, our team's performance will be affected!"

"It's okay, losing a game will not have much impact on the results, but will make these kids realize the reality."

"But...what if we can't stop the decline? Then all our efforts at the beginning of the season will be in vain!"

Mourinho shook his head: "Ruy, that's not what I said. Now my control over the team has declined. If these kids are not allowed to hit a wall and not let them recognize their mistakes, it will sooner or later have a greater impact."

After hearing this, Rui Fariya also knew what Mourinho wanted to do. He wanted to completely grasp the team again, and even did not hesitate to use the team's performance as a price. Is this worth it?

Or maybe Jose has no longer considered whether it is worth it or not?

Rui Faria is just an assistant coach after all, and he still can't understand how bad the team will result if it is not under the control of the head coach.

crisis!

This is the biggest crisis after Mourinho coached Manchester United!

Under the leadership of Pogba's thorn, some people in the team have begun to doubt Mourinho's football philosophy. If this continues, it is likely that the team will fall apart.

In fact, after Mourinho confirmed that Pogba took the lead in causing trouble, he had already sentenced the French midfielder superstar to death in his heart, but he couldn't move this guy for the time being. Pogba is still too important to Manchester United's midfielder.

The game played at Wembley Stadium only started for 7 minutes. The previously invincible Manchester United was seized by Harry Kane. The England captain received Erikson's straight pass, and a fury shot from the Manchester United defender, knocked the ball into the goal guarded by De Gea... 1:0!

In the 20th minute, Harry Kane took the ball from the top of the arc, passed the ball with a heel that was completely inconsistent with his style, and stuffed the ball near the free throw point in the penalty area. Ali, who was inserted, shot with his left foot, and the ball flew into the goal again... 2:0!

20 minutes... two goals behind!?

Manchester United players were all stunned. They were actually working very hard to put pressure on their opponents in the game, but before they could break through Tottenham's goal, their own goal was broken twice.

The 3,000 Manchester United fans who came to the scene to assist were all confused. Today they came to watch the game in order to see the resurrected "Red Devils" sweep all their opponents again, but now... is this what we want to see?

But... the players did not slacket on the court!

Every Manchester United player who plays is very active in the game, but the situation in the game has already forced Manchester United into a desperate situation.

Off the court, Mourinho watched the game expressionlessly, feeling helpless and angry... a farce!

This is a farce!

With Manchester United's current offense and defense, let alone want to crush all opponents, as long as the opponent with a little strength can pose a threat to Manchester United!
