By now, it shouldn’t surprise us when United plays a solid performance. There’s a clear path being made, and one needs to be really naive, biased or, even, blind to miss it. This match presented some changes, with Maguire returning to the defensive line, along with Mazraoui and Yoro (what a player he’s becoming!), a midfield with Ugarte and Casemiro as holder midfielders and Højlund back to the Striker position. Therefore, I start today’s analysis by reinforcing something I mentioned… Read

Al Nasr and Al Arabi faced each other for the U21’s League, with a final score of 1-1. This time, the match wasn’t as impressive as others previously. The score reflects, somehow, the Game on the field. Not many chances for scoring from both teams, a Game mainly battled in the midfield, not always well-played, with some poor decision-making, tactical approaches, etc. At times, it was hard to understand what the teams were looking for, in terms of their strategy.… Read

O início de Roberto Martinez foi estonteante. Uma qualificaçāo para o Europeu de 2024 perto da perfeiçāo. Mas, depois, um Europeu, no mínimo, fraco e inconstante. Escrevi, no final da participaçāo nesse mesmo Euro o seguinte:“Em relaçāo a Roberto Martinez: terminou a lua-de-mel! Ainda bem! Porque, ao despir-se, despiu a equipa. Nāo percebi a preparaçāo, a narrativa, nada. Os minutos que tinham que jogar na preparaçāo, as justificações constantes e a contradizer o que afirmava anteriormente. As substituições, os timings.… Read

Manchester United win yesterday allow them to keep on their improvement track! Good news! However, Ruben Amorim was fast to come to the post-match press conference to make sure everyone keeps their feet on the floor. “We cannot be too excited now, or too depressed when we lose. It’s about the process more than win or lose”, he said. And, for now, besides being playing with many players that we all know to be second, third or even players that… Read

Yesterday was a good day at Manchester. A day for keep dreaming. Not only about winning this Competition, but mainly, as a brighter light for the future of Manchester United! Elements of this performance were many, and good. First, after a false start, conceding a goal from another penalty that shouldn’t happen at this level, the team kept stable and positive. Good! Secondly, the team was always compact and proactive, when losing, draw, and winning, whereas before they would automatically… Read

Football has always evolved, but in the last decade, few tactical trends have reshaped the game as much as high-pressing. The era of deep defensive blocks and passive midfields has been overtaken by an aggressive, high-energy style of play where teams press relentlessly to win the ball back as soon as they lose it. The objective? Control the game, suffocate the opposition, and transition into attack before they can react. Managers like Jürgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Marcelo Bielsa, and Xabi… Read

There’s no news here: I’m a big fan of Ruben. However, I think we all need to assume that it really seems some things are sticking with the team. Just as posted recently, the team is improving and competing, even with all the struggles, ups and downs, suspensions, injuries and lack of standards. It doesn’t mean that players are now amazing and super talented. Nothing like that. However, the team is slowly improving. The team is now understanding better where… Read

Manchester United faced Real Sociedad and got a draw (1-1) for the 2nd leg, next week at Manchester. At a first glance, a good result. Without a doubt. But, looking at the performance, there were a couple of things that came to my mind: it’s clear why and how The Premier League intends to dominate the European market in the coming years, and in the middle of darkness that results, performances and injuries brought in these months, Ruben Amorim is… Read
