Chapter 130 Mourinho, You Should Do Something!
Lucky's powerful shot beat Manchester United out of reach.
They didn't expect this goal at all. Lucky's entire leg swing was also very small and hidden. As a result, many people didn't react until the goal was scored.
This goal put the Manchester United players in an extremely confused state.
They tried to limit it as quickly as possible, but they still couldn't stop Arsenal's goal.
In other words, Arsenal's midfielder is starting to work hard again.
At the coaching bench, Mourinho shook his head and sighed.
Although this is a problem that has been conceived before the game, Lucky's ability is still frustrating.
Mourinho has had many outstanding midfielders during his coaching career.
But no one has ever given him this feeling of Lucky.
The perfect midfield interception machine, metronome, pitch leader and more
The existence of Lucky has doubled the strength of Arsenal's team. It can be said that without Lucky, Arsenal's current state will not be able to compete for the championship, and it will be difficult to enter the top four.
We can also understand the importance of Lucky to Arsenal.
But now, Lucky is still in hot form, but Manchester United can't find a way to limit Lucky.
Mourinho looked at Pogba.
The guy opened his mouth slightly, with a look of panic on his face.
Mourinho whispered in displeasure:
"With this performance, you still want the core?"
It is well known that Mourinho does not like Pogba. When Manchester United promoted Pogba's transfer, Mourinho strongly opposed it.
However, in the end, Manchester United's senior management could not be restrained, and Mourinho had no choice but to compromise.
After joining, Pogba's performance was as Mourinho expected. This is not the type of midfielder he wanted at all.
From the most basic aspect, Pogba's transition speed between offense and defense is too slow and his play is too delayed.
If there are no teammates to help him open up the situation, he will wait in the backcourt for a while, and he doesn't know what this guy is waiting for.
In this regard, players like Lucky will not sit still and wait for death.
Once they see an opportunity, they tend to attack very decisively and resolutely. This is the biggest difference between Pogba and Lucky.
A person who hesitates when faced with an opportunity will eventually miss the opportunity.
Another desperate opportunity to convert an attacking opportunity into a goal.
Such a comparison can clearly see the difference.
It is precisely because of this gap that Mourinho will be disappointed.
On the other side of the coaching bench, Patrice also raised his eyebrows and said, "Pogba's performance was too bad. Compared to the media's praise, his abilities are not as strong."
Wenger glanced at Pogba and said: "This is not necessarily true! Pogba is still very capable, but he needs the support of a team to help him create a comfortable environment."
"The midfielder is supposed to serve the frontcourt and create a favorable environment for the team." Patrice shook his head and said, "It feels like the opposite!"
"It's not the other way around. A team already has different types of players, and how to fabricate these players to maximize their abilities is what the head coach should do." Wenger turned to look at Mourinho and said : "However, without the support of the club, this should be very rare!"
"Now the pressure is on Manchester United. Manchester United's current situation is not good. If they want to win the Champions League this season, they must win every next game as much as possible."
Andy Gray said.
Richard shook his head: "This is a reality. At least the current state of Manchester United is too bad. Even if the opponent is not Arsenal, it will be difficult for them to win the game! This Manchester United feels too chaotic now."
"Many people thought that Mourinho's arrival would bring new glory to Manchester United, but judging from the current situation, Manchester United's performance today is not even as good as last season!"
Andy Gray sighed; "Mourinho needs to find a way!"
The game starts again.
After Manchester United lost the ball, the overall pressure increased. They played more fiercely and even started to engage in some dangerous physical confrontations.
But Arsenal are not used to this.
If it were another team, they would probably give in. After all, it is the opponent's home court, and they are still in the lead, so there is no harm in giving in.
But Arsenal now has an unreasonable and unforgiving temper.
As long as you have the advantage, you won't give it to the other party no matter what.
Want to get your rhythm back?
Then come over and grab it!
Pogba is annoying!
He was really annoyed in this game.
Not only the rhythm, but also other aspects are not smooth at all!
Lucky just kept an eye on him.
When there was no offensive task, Lucky wandered around Pogba and put tremendous pressure on him.
Pogba knows very well that once he releases the ball slower with his feet, Lucky can step forward to press him.
Therefore, he needs to release the ball quickly and make quick judgments.
But this is not the rhythm Pogba likes.
He had no time to observe, he was forced to make uncomfortable passes, all passive.
When he was at Juventus, these were Pirlo's jobs, and Pogba didn't think it was a big deal at the time.
Even after the Champions League final, he attributed most of the loss to Arsenal to Pirlo. If it were him, he would definitely be able to beat Arsenal's midfield rhythm.
But now, Pogba finally understands.
Pirlo was so powerful at that time, how did he suppress such a monster!
"Watch the ball! Man!"
Pogba suddenly woke up and saw the ball rolling towards him.
He immediately started to meet the ball.
But at the same time, Lekai also took action.
The two were soon side by side.
Pogba tried to push Lekai out with his shoulder, but he found that he couldn't push him out at all.
Instead, he felt a little unstable.
"Oh no!"
Pogba immediately accelerated and wanted to stretch out his foot to poke the ball out.
But just when he was about to reach the ball, Lekai suddenly crossed.
Pogba fell directly to the ground.
"Kai! It's the front court again~~~~~ It's a pity that the referee called a foul!"
At the referee's whistle, Lekai stopped and shook his head helplessly.
The action just now was indeed a bit too big.
If the referee's penalty scale was larger, then this would be another goal.
"Pogba lost the ball again!"
Andy Gray said on the Sky Sports commentary platform; "I think Manchester United should think carefully about how to limit Kai's performance. Kai's interception has covered Manchester United's half-court area. Pogba was defended one-on-one by Kai. As an important outlet for Manchester United, Pogba did not play, which led to the frustration of Manchester United's overall system!"
Richard; "Pogba's defensive ability is very good, but this is all based on physical conditions. As it turns out, he has no physical advantage when facing Kai."
"So the problem is that Manchester United can't limit Kai's performance at all!"
Andy Gray shook his head: "This is really bad news for Manchester United!"
In the Old Trafford stadium, Manchester United fans are no longer cheering, and they look at the stadium with solemn faces.

Even they can feel that the situation on the field is developing in a direction that is not favorable to them.
Manchester United was suppressed too hard in the midfield.
Lucky deprived Pogba of his performance alone.
Pogba was silent.
Manchester United's offense also became extremely unsmooth.
This is a chain effect, which affects not only the midfield, but all positions on the field.
Once Arsenal's midfield completely controls the rhythm of the midfield, Manchester United will be left with an extremely bad situation.
"Hey! Mourinho, you should do something!"
"Find someone to help Pogba!"
"Let's play more actively, and Mourinho still plays a role!"
"You are the head coach, you need to find a way to win for the team!"
Manchester United fans put pressure on Mourinho.
But Mourinho looked at the court as if he didn't see it at all.
Idiot!
Mourinho cursed in his heart.
What good solutions can be found at this stage?
The current situation is that Pogba is suppressed by Lucky in all aspects, and where are there any extra candidates on the field who can be sent to protect Pogba?
The lack of any position will lead to Arsenal's fierce attack on the gap.
This is what Arsenal is best at.
Find the weakness, tear open the gap, and then bombard!
Now Mourinho can only hope that the Manchester United players can survive the first half.
