Chapter 377 Accident
After the make-up match with Manchester City, Manchester United still has a Premier League game in April, and a game against Swansea at Old Trafford two days later.

Swansea is currently 18th in the league, in the relegation zone, and the situation is worrying.

And Manchester United is in the first place in the league, and the strength of the two sides is not on the same level.

After Manchester United fought consecutively, Mourinho considered winning the three points at the least cost.

Therefore, under the circumstances of Smalling's knee injury, P. Jones' toe injury, Rojo's cruciate ligament injury, Ibrahimovic's knee double ligament Sushang, Fellaini's red card suspension, and multiple players' continuous battles, Murray Neo made the rotation.

4-2-3-1, De Gea continues to start, the back line, Luke Shaw, Blind, Bailey, Ashley Young, double midfielder Herrera, Carrick, front midfielder Ma Charles, Rooney, Lingard, center Rashford.

Ye Tian, ​​Mkhitaryan, Valencia, Damian, and Mata, who returned from the injured list, all sat on the bench.

According to Mourinho's plan, a group of players on the field should be able to cope with Swansea, and they will all take 3 points.

It's a pity that just 7 minutes into the game, an accident began to disrupt his deployment.

Luke Shaw was injured and left the field in a defensive fight. As a last resort, Manchester United used up a substitution and Valencia came on early.

Shaw's fate obviously cast a psychological shadow on the Manchester United players.

Their various actions in the game are a bit timid. After all, avoiding injuries, in their opinion, is the most important thing right now!

This allows Swansea players a lot of room to move on the pitch...

In the 13th minute, they continued to create dangerous situations in front of Manchester United. Fortunately, De Gea gave full play to the characteristics of the duck father and made three consecutive pounces!Keep the goal clean!
Mourinho was aware of the mentality of the Manchester United players, shouting, commanding and encouraging from the sidelines.

Under his command, Manchester United made an overhead pass from Carrick on the left side. Lingard caught the ball in the penalty area and hit the goal, but was called offside by the linesman!

But then, Martial broke through and hit the goal continuously in the left corner of the penalty area. After being blocked by the goalkeeper, he let go. Lingard made a supplementary shot, but was blocked again by the goalkeeper.

Manchester United's two consecutive attacks failed, but they stabilized the situation on the field.

The subsequent game progress in the first half followed the rhythm of Manchester United.

In stoppage time in the first half, Lingard sent a through pass to Rashford from the left side of the penalty area. Rashford stepped forward to receive the ball, and Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski attacked the ball to control the ball. , Rashford fell to the ground, and the referee awarded a penalty kick.

Slow motion showed that Rashford dived, which was a misjudgment.

But the judgment on the field is the final judgment!
Rooney scored the penalty!This is his personal Manchester United goal, the 252nd!
Manchester United entered the second half with a score of 1-0.

Leading the score, Mourinho did not make any adjustments. During the halftime break, he just gave the players various spiritual encouragements. After all, the attack on the left was quite effective! In the second half, just continue to persevere!
Not long after the start of the second half, Herrera made a clever move to the right and made a cross. Rooney hit the goal close to Martial without anyone watching him!Missed a personal brace and Manchester United's two-goal lead!

Then, the accident happened again!
Bailey was injured in the fight!

Sitting on the bench, Manchester United has no central defender!
Damian played a temporary cameo, Manchester United's defense line, right back Valencia, central defenders Blind, Damian, left back Ashley Young.A defensive line is already suffering from a wave of injuries. In this game, two more people were injured... Mourinho doesn't even have enough full-backs...

Under such circumstances, Swansea got a free kick opportunity in an excellent position because of Rooney's foul before the top circle.

Their left winger Sigurdsson hit a beautiful free kick, bypassing the wall and directly into the dead corner.

1-1, tie!
At this time, there are only 10 minutes left in the game event!

Mourinho considered again and again, looked at the eager eyes staring at him on the bench, and used the last substitution.

Mkhitaryan replaced Rooney.

Ye Tian took a rest in this game.

After all, he has already fought too many games in a row in the previous games. If he is injured in this league game due to physical fatigue, it will be an unbearable pain for Manchester United!

And in this game, God seemed to pay special attention to Manchester United, and injured two of their defenders in a row!Who knows, will he/she/it have a whim and suddenly hurt you again?
After Mkhitaryan came on the field, he made a pass from the wing, but the pass was extremely high, lost the suddenness, and increased the difficulty for the players to catch the ball.

Martial hit the goal directly, and in order to pursue the angle, he hit high.

Not long after, the referee Solbrick blew the whistle for the end of the game. Manchester United drew 1-1 at home with the 18th-ranked Swansea, which was a big upset.

But for Manchester United, they hurt the whole back line, and that's what caused them headaches.

After the game, Swansea coach Clement said that Rashford's diving made the Swansea players angry. Their goalkeeper said that he rushed towards the ball and he could see himself from Rashford. De was far away but Rashford went down before making contact with him!

Mourinho: The goalkeeper is slow to stop, which is obvious from the slow motion. The referee's penalty is very accurate!We are still ahead of Chelsea by a lot of points. We still have four league games, while Chelsea have only three games.

Immediately afterwards, Mourinho stretched out three fingers: Next month, we have three championships to win!It's going to be a great season!Just wait and see!

Indeed, in May, without accident, Manchester United should be able to win Celta Vigo, which is currently ranked 5th in La Liga. If this cannot be won, it will indeed lose the face of the Premier League.

Therefore, it seems logical for Manchester United to enter the Europa League final.

The FA Cup and league championships are also within sight.

Manchester United, it seems, in May, is about to reap a lot of honors!
But...they'll have to deal with the injuries at the back first.

The injuries of Rojo and Ibrahimovic will inevitably be reimbursed this season.

Jones has a broken toe and may not be able to play this season.

Smalling is already undergoing light training with the team, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Now we are looking at Luke Shaw. Shaw has not played many games this season, with 19 games and 2 assists. He is a qualified substitute rotation player.

In fact, at the left back position, Mourinho has never had a suitable candidate.

At the beginning of the season, I asked Blind to try it. I was not very satisfied, but it was barely usable. Damian, who is a player on the right, but there is Valencia on the right, so he was squeezed to the left. He has played 28 games so far. , 1 assist, the defense is acceptable, but the contribution to the team's offense is not enough.

So on the left road, Blind, Damian, and Shaw will rotate, and whoever is in good condition will go.

But at present the middle lane is in a hurry, it is inevitable for Blind to return to the middle lane, Shaw is injured, and Damian is singled out on the left lane...

Then, assists on the left can only rely on the performance of the left midfielder.

Martial has more than enough offense but not enough defense.

Mourinho thought of Ye Tian's teammate Wu Sanshi again.

After a while, I shook my head. It would have been nice if I had registered him for the Europa League.

The opponent in the FA Cup final is Arsenal, and Arsenal's right attack line... cannot be supplemented by hard work.

And in the middle of the defense, Smalling...

Mourinho is worried!

Hope Bailey's injury is not serious!

It seems that at the end of the season, not only have to bring in a beast waist to help Ye Tian clean up, but also have to find a central defender.

　Dichlorvos: Everything you want to control actually controls you.
