Sports 247 – Man United’s victory over Tottenham last night was the combination of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tactical mind and a gift from `blue octopus` David De Gea.
Video: Highlight match Tottenham vs MU
A 1-0 victory over Tottenham in round 22 of the Premier League last night helped Manchester United have a series of 6 consecutive wins under coach Solskjaer.
However this is not luck, or at least not completely.
Solskjaer’s calculations were indeed successful in the first hour and almost went bankrupt but from that point on, the match belonged to De Gea.
Hand?
Accepting the luck that Gea brought, Man United showed a soulful face for the first time in 5 years since `godfather` Sir Alex Ferguson left.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brings a brand of football, Ole-ball, that is pure and full of surprises based on the speed and mobility of each player.
Lingard plays the same role as Firmino at Liverpool, constantly pressing the opponent’s central midfielder, while moving wide to create space for the wings to penetrate.
In the scoring situation, Lingard played back as planned to compete, the ball fell to Pogba and this player was skilled enough to create a favorable transition for Rashford.
It was Pogba who took advantage when Sissoko was injured right before the situation took place.
Solskjaer has prepared for this match thoroughly enough that even though his opponent knows, he cannot do anything more.
Solskjaer’s players were really tired in the second half and felt completely defeated.
Maybe De Gea’s brilliant performance overshadowed Solskjaer’s tactical impressions.
