Chapter 478 Manchester United's No. 7 Curse

The match between Manchester United and Sevilla will be in the middle of the week on the 22nd, and on Friday the 25th, they will return to La Trafford for a red-blue battle.

Chelsea currently ranks third in points, while Manchester City is still eyeing the defense.

Manchester United can't afford to lose this red-blue battle.

After the red and blue battle, they will take a day off and go to Wembley Stadium, where they will play the League Cup final with Arsenal.

This is the first trophy of this year, and I am determined to win it!

As for the game against Sevilla, there are home and away games. Even if this game is lost, it is enough to get back at home. Relatively speaking, Manchester United's determination to win is not as strong as the last two games.

Moreover, Manchester United now has a problem.

Sanchez, the current No. 7 of Manchester United.

The Chilean left winger is the pillar of Arsenal. This season he clamored to leave, and then he really left.

But in fact, his transfer to Manchester United this time, everyone was dumbfounded.

The first is the form of interchange.

You know, Alexis Sanchez, the market price is 7000W euros, Mkhitaryan, the market price is 3700W euros.This swap is not equal in value.

For Manchester United, sending Mkhitaryan can be said to be the beauty of adults, but welcome Sanchez, a high-paid left player, what is the plan?
On the left attack line, Manchester United is overcrowded!

If it is said that it is a veteran who is about to retire, to play photosynthesis, bring those children around, with a suitable salary, it is reasonable, but a top-paid striker who happens to be 30 years old, you can’t expect him to do this job, right?

Of course, Sanchez is fierce at Arsenal.

In the 14-15 season, played 52 games, 25 goals and 12 assists,

In the 15-16 season, played 41 games, 17 goals and 11 assists,

In the 16-17 season, played 51 games, 30 goals and 19 assists,

This season, he played 19 Premier League games for Arsenal, with 7 goals and 3 assists, averaging 3.6 shots per game, and also averaging 2.7 key passes per game.

What is the level of this average of 2.7 key passes per game?Ye Tian's data is 4.2 times, ranking first, the dead man is 3.4 times, second, De Bruyne 3 times, D. Silva 2.2 times.

In fact, Manchester City had already clamored to take Sanchez away during the summer break last year, but the transfer amount was not negotiated at that time.

With only half a year left on the contract, to be honest, if Manchester United is willing to wait, they can take him away for free, but now Sanchez has also replaced a former Bundesliga MVP for the broken factory...

For the broken factory, Sanchez is benevolent.

Of course, the salary given by Manchester United has also doubled... the highest salary in the Premier League.

The question is, can Sanchez play value?

He has a strong ability to push the ball and return to defense. The latter point is exactly what Martial lacks. The former point seems to be more efficient than Manchester United's current personnel on the wing.

Therefore, logically speaking, after Ibrahimovic's state has declined, Sanchez enriches Manchester United's frontcourt offensive weapon, can provide Ye Tian's offensive organization with a reassuring point of attack, and increase the frontcourt for the team's overall defense. pressure.

However, after the exchange was completed on January 1, Sanchez has experienced 22 games in a month, and everyone has not seen the smooth offense they want.

Even Manchester United's 1-3 and 0-4 in January disappeared. Instead, they played 0-3 with Tottenham and won a small victory by 2 goal. Facing a team like Huddersfield, it was nothing but It was 1-2 at home, and in the away game against Newcastle United, it almost capsized.

Fans question Manchester United's new No 7.

In fact, Manchester United's No. 7 shirt was cursed after Beckham.

Only Ronaldinho, that is, Ronaldo, resisted the curse.

Irving, Valencia, Di Maria, and Depay all performed unsatisfactorily, and when they changed their No. 7 jersey, their performance rebounded.

Now, Sanchez is wearing Manchester United's No. 7, and everyone has expected his poor performance.

Sure enough, Sanchez only scored 1 goal and missed a penalty in these few games.

Mourinho and Sanchez, who advocated the introduction of Sanchez, were greatly troubled.

They desperately need a tough battle to prove themselves.

They didn't pick Sevilla.

The game against Sevilla was used by Mourinho for training.

Practice Sanchez, practice his running-in with the whole team.

Sanchez did have a very domineering performance at Arsenal, but his style of play and role occupy the ball!
This way of playing with possession of the ball is actually his characteristic.After all, a breakthrough with the ball requires possession of the ball, and it is a good attitude to actively return to the defense. Back and forth, back to the midfielder position, and then the ball was successfully intercepted, and then the ball was taken away after a breakthrough with the ball.

This style of play is better called the so-called "ball king play", the neutral term is probably "free frontcourt", and the worst is called "tumor play".

He is "diligent" on Manchester United's left and in the middle. He is very "responsible". He often retreats to defend and often takes the ball in the middle circle. But to be honest, he does not have the ball like Ye Tian. Ability, excessive retreat to lead the ball in the center area of ​​​​the side, and the ball was intercepted by a little carelessness.

This led to the low offensive efficiency of Manchester United.

And Sanchez... doesn't have the fulcrum role of Ibrahimovic.

If it is about assault speed, why not use Martial Linga Dashford and a group of aggressive young people?

Therefore, facing the Sevilla game, Mourinho continued to allow Ye Tian to defend and Sanchez to attack.

The effect... is obvious.

Fans seem to see their pie team.He is also a "Desperate Saburo"!
Of course, compared to Rooney after a serious injury, Sanchez still has a certain impact ability.It's just that his current performance is not convincing.

Facing Sevilla, Sanchez, Manchester United's No. 7, even stopped the ball five meters away, and stopped the ball from the sideline to near the middle circle, embarrassing!

The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game felt as uncomfortable as seeing Dong Fangjiao's Manchester United debut and breaking through the ball car for the first time.

Perhaps Mourinho has seen the incompatibility brought by Sanchez, which has a negative impact on the existing lineup structure and has not yet found a solution, so he replaced Sanchez at the end of the game against Sevilla. Charles and La Shifu replaced each other on the left and right.

In addition, Ye Tian began to have more possession of the ball and room to move forward, and Manchester United began to have a smoother, flesh-to-body offensive.

Only, it was too late.

This is the first knockout game with Manchester United returning to the European arena, 0-0.

This is also the last 16 of the Champions League, the only game without a goal.

More importantly, in the whole scene, Manchester United is not dominant.

There are 5 teams in the Premier League, two draws and three big victories, but at least Tottenham did not lose to Juventus on the scene.

English fans have a great sense of anger towards Manchester United.

As the leader of the Premier League, he failed to show responsibility!
Fans also began to attack Sanchez, thinking that his arrival destroyed the team's normal and smooth operation system, and he was an offensive black hole.

Mourinho fiercely defended his players and turned the flames on himself.

"I know you guys, when you were at Chelsea, sometimes you said good things, sometimes you said bad things. Like you are doing to Alexis now. But I got the title for Chelsea, not you. But even So I left Stamford Bridge. Now, I'm at Manchester United. I have four Premier League titles, more than all of them combined. But even then, there are people who say I was wrong. But what will change? I will still continue to win the championship. And you still can only talk there."

Mourinho's remarks successfully ignited the fire, diverting everyone's attention from the dull draw against Sevilla, no longer focusing on Sanchez, and instead paying attention to the weekend's red-blue battle.

After all, last season, Chelsea almost pulled Manchester United down, but this season, they still maintain their competitiveness for the championship.

And what Manchester United have to face is not only Chelsea, but also the League Cup final opponent Arsenal just two days later.
