Manchester United launched a fantastic comeback against Brentford in the 2023-2024 Premier League. The coach, Erik ten Hag, believes that this victory is a moment of revival for the team nicknamed the Red Devils.
Playing at Old Trafford, Manchester, Saturday (7/10/2023). Man United fell behind first through Mathias Jansen’s goal (26′), then managed to reverse the position in the final minute.
It was Scott McTominay who was successful as an actor in the revival of Man United. The brace scored by the player from Scotland (90+3′ and 90+7′) succeeded in making Man United immediately secure three points.
This victory certainly raised the mentality and morale of the Man United troops. Moreover, before this match, Man United had only won twice in five matches in all competitions.
After the match, Ten Hag believed that this fantastic victory was Man United’s moment of revival. With the support of supporters who are always noisy and supportive in the Old Trafford stands, Ten Hag is confident that his team will be able to win again in the next matches.
“This must be his (Man United) revival. This reflects our season so far from the start of the game. You have to believe and see the fans believe they are united. “They are behind us and keep us going,” said Ten Hag as reported on the club’s official website, Sunday (8/10/2023).
Ten Hag then revealed the surefire recipe for Man United’s success in recovering. Piling players into the opponent’s penalty box is said to be an effective tactic in reversing the position in the match. “But then we had a plan and that is a big credit to the team.
They stuck to their plan. They kept trying, and from then on, at the right time, you bring the ball into the box,” he added. “And of course we have to add and bring more players into the penalty box. And I think that’s what we did in the last 30 minutes and in the end you get rewarded,” said Ten Hag.
Ten Hag is also proud of the struggle of his foster children who never give up. The Dutch architect was happy that the Red Devils had taken responsibility after performing poorly in the first half.
“Of course. But then again, when you concede goals so easily, we can’t do that at our level. “We have to do better and you have to take more responsibility,” said the former Ajax Amsterdam coach. “And you have to be responsible because otherwise it will be difficult to win the match,” he concluded.
