Review: 5 Important Note From The match Manchester United vs Stoke City |
There are at least
five important records to be learned, both by Mr Louis van Gaal and the
stronghold of Mark Hughes. Are you curious about the 5 critical remarks? The
description below will give you an idea for you.
1. Martial Back back to his skills
At the beginning of last
season, many people questioned the decision Manchester United which dared to
consider a young man to make up for a 19 year old player, who named Anthony
Martial. However, slowly but surely all doubts were gone after the French
national team players has proven his quality.
In the game counter Stoke City,
Martial proved again that United is not wrong to pay dearly to redeem himself
from AS Monaco. The young striker is often spread the terror of the left side
of United's attack and succeeded in creating one goal and made an assist for
Wayne Rooney goal.
2. Right Back Stoke Become Source of Misfortune
It is still related to the
first point; the right-back of Stoke
City can be regarded as
one of the causes of the defeat of the Potters at Old Trafford. Glen Johnson is
charged with Mark Hughes to maintain the flexibility of Martial looked like
overwhelmed in order to face the young striker. As a result, due to a
combination of injuries and poor performance, Johnson pulled out in the 30th
minute was replaced by Phil Bardsley.
The entry of Bardsley, who is
in fact a former training academy United did not give a significant effect. He
also struggled to maintain Martial that look perfect in this game, so the
striker of the French national team could score goal and send feedback to the
goal Wayne Rooney.
3. Does Van Gaal's philosophy Already Over?
If you notice anything
different with the game Manchester
United in recent weeks. The Red Devils began to leave the ball possession game
and switch to a more attacking football.
The changes in United's style
of play proved to be fruitful both for Wayne Rooney. In the last two games, the
Red Devils successful victory by scoring three goals in each match, although
control of the ball which has been the pride of Louis van Gaal is still
inferior to the procurement of the ball Stoke City.
Is this a sign of Louis van
Gaal has been surrendered with his philosophy or is this the original form of
the philosophy of the Couch? So, you have to wait in the rest of the season.
4. Hughes was wrong to play Arnautovic in this match
Inevitably, the figure of
Marko Arnautovic has become an important player in the stronghold of Stoke City.
The former Inter Milan midfielder has scored 7 goals and 4 assists for the
Potters this season.
In the game, actually
Arnautovic had just recovered from injury, even a number of British media
predicted that the 26-year-old winger will not play when the Potters visit to
Old Trafford.
However, Hughes was
surprisingly plays Arnautovic since the beginning of the game. As a result, is
the Austrian national team players can not show his best game of the match and
he had less contribution as his side were humiliated at Old Trafford.
5. Tradition United Pays
Manchester United is famous
as one of the teams who like to orbit the original cast their own training
academy. The tradition is also shared by Louis van Gaal, who is already
committed to provide an opportunity for young talent to shine at the Red
Devils.
This good tradition
eventually proved sweet fruit. In the game, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Jesse
Lingard which is an original product of United's academy performed brilliantly.
The combination of the two players produced the first goal for United in the
revenge match counter Stoke
City.
If Van Gaal consistently gives
the time to play to the young players United, so it is not likely to form a new
class of 92 that will be the main pillar of the club for years to come.
