Star card system.

Losing to Paris, Manchester United fell into a slump.

In their next few league games, they suffered three defeats.

The league ranking also fell again, returning to eighth place.

This made the Manchester United board of directors somewhat dissatisfied.

They have interviewed Solskjaer several times recently and asked him about his plans for the team's future development.

Although the conversation was all about tactical issues, the signals released were very obvious.

Can you still do it?

Do you still want to have a long-term date?

This gives Solskjaer a headache.

But for him, these are not big troubles.

After all, the Premier League season is still very long, and the goal given to him by the board of directors is to be in the top six, which is similar.

Winning two or three games is enough.

The most important thing now, and also the biggest difficulty, is the Champions League.

After losing to Paris on February 2, more than half a month later, on March 13, Manchester United embarked on the journey again.

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to start at the Parc des Princes.

Today, Paris Saint-Germain is still playing with all its main players, but has slightly adjusted a few positions.

4-3-3 formation.

The front three is Neymar, Choupo-Moting and Mbappe.

Three midfielders, Di Maria, Marquinhos and Verratti.

Four defenders: Bernat, Kimpembe, Thiago Silva, and Correll.

Goalkeeper Areola.

They also fought on multiple fronts this season and suffered some injuries.

In this game, two veterans, Cavani and Buffon, were absent due to injuries, and Choupo-Moting and Areola appeared in the starting lineup.

But they are still strong.

On Manchester United's side, Solskjaer also made some adjustments today.

It’s still the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper De Gea,

Back four Ashley Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Valencia,

Double defensive midfielder Matic and Pogba,

The three front midfielders are Xia Xing, Lingard and Rashford.

Center Lukaku.

Compared with the previous game, without Fred and Martial, Lukaku and Lingard got the chance to start.

Pogba's position has also returned from the attacking midfielder to the defensive midfielder.

This time, Solskjaer finally did not stick to his own opinion and followed the advice of the coaching staff.

It is difficult for Pogba to take on a big role, and it is even more difficult for Martial to be reused.

These two must lower their expectations and give other players in good form more opportunities.

With this adjustment, it is obvious that we have finally returned to the rhythm of summer travel.

But for Pogba, he doesn't like this formation very much.

But he had no choice but to say anything about the head coach's decision.

Solskjaer comforted him before the game.

"There is no problem with your strength. This adjustment is a tactical consideration. This is because the opponent is more familiar with you, so we have to make some changes compared to the previous game."

Although Pogba was still unhappy in his heart, he still agreed.

It doesn't matter, there is definitely no chance of the top eight anyway.

You must know that today's opponent is Paris.

It is basically impossible to score three goals in an away game and ask the opponent not to score.

Just in time, I retreated to the backcourt to avoid taking the blame for my poor offensive performance.

So in this game Pogba honestly appeared in the midfielder position. With two goals in hand, Paris is very stable in this game.

Solskjaer also predicted before the game that Paris should focus on defense today.

But unexpectedly, Paris did not choose to defend in this game, but still attacked with all their strength!

The same strategy as the previous game, Paris still pressed fiercely throughout the game.

In the attack, they did not hesitate to invest their troops and did not care about the two-goal lead.

At the Parc des Princes, they stormed into Manchester United's defense like an overwhelming force!

In the opening stage, Manchester United was passive.

Originally, Solskjaer thought that the opponent would defend, but the players did not expect Paris to be so brave. They could not find their rhythm for a while.

If it weren't for Xia Xing's sweep in the midfield, Paris might have already scored in the opening few fast breaks.

But soon, they found a great opportunity to score.

Xia Xing stole the ball in the middle and quickly passed through, looking for Lingard!

Lingard caught the ball in the middle, turned around, and sprinted with the ball!

Go forward to Lukaku, then pull to the right!

Xia Xing on the left has already rushed to the middle!

The two did a cross swap!

Great opportunity for Manchester United!

But on the defensive line, Paris central defender Thiago Silva once again made a contribution.

He grabbed the ball ahead of time and directly cut the ball off Lukaku's feet!

Big kick kick, the ball flew towards the Manchester United half!

Paris counterattack begins!

At this moment, Xia Xing rushed to the Paris penalty area, and he had no time to return to defense.

The ball flew straight to the center, and Verratti stopped the ball steadily.

Diagonal pass to the right, looking for Mbappe.

Mbappe received the ball and led forward, sprinting quickly!

Pogba, who was defending him, was directly left behind!

And Pogba didn't choose to chase back at all.

Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room frowned.

"Pogba shouldn't do it!

"Even if he knows the speed of his national team teammates,

"That's no reason why he doesn't chase after him!

"He doesn't deserve the high salary Manchester United gives him!

"Mbappe has broken through Manchester United's midfield line!

"Ashley Young, grab it!

"Mbappe accelerated his cutback again and used his speed to pass the Manchester United veteran!

"Lindelof shovels!

"This is a risk of fouling!

"Mbappe stopped suddenly, accelerated and avoided Lindelof's tackle!

"On the penalty area line, kick and volley!

"The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

"De Gea can't do anything!

"The ball went in!

"1-0!

“Paris took advantage of their home court to break the deadlock!

"Mbappé just passed three people on his own, which reminded me of Ronaldo!

“Not Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, but Brazil’s super genius, alien Ronaldo.

“Mbappé’s style of play is very similar to Ronaldo’s!

"Given time, this young man will definitely become a superstar comparable to Melo!"

Alan Shearer praised Mbappe's performance, while Carragher was commenting on the current situation between the two sides.

“This goal in Paris is so crucial!

"They absolutely destroyed Manchester United!

"Now their total score has become 3-0!

“Three goals ahead of Manchester United and two away goals!

"Mbappe's shot was a desperate third shot!

"This goal will completely destroy Manchester United's confidence!

"If Manchester United wants to advance, they have to at least score three more goals.

“And the opponent can’t score yet,

"is it possible?

"I think it's impossible!

"Manchester United have failed completely this season!

"Even if they part ways with Mourinho, even if they bring in Solskjaer,

“It’s still impossible for them to reach the superb level of last season!

“The previous six-time champions were just lucky.

“Now they’ve been beaten back to their original shape!

"I officially announce that Manchester United's journey to Europe this season is over!" (End of Chapter)
