The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

As the game progressed, although Southampton players tried to launch a counterattack, Manchester United's defense was as solid as a rock under the close cooperation of Nico Williams, Joshko Gwadiol, Ruben Dias and Diogo Dalot. They resolved Southampton's attack again and again, leaving no chance for the opponent.

In the 65th minute, Southampton's striker got a great chance to shoot in the penalty area. However, at the critical moment, Joshko Gwadiol stepped forward and blocked the Southampton striker's shot with his body, defusing the crisis.

In the 70th minute, Southampton got another free kick opportunity. This time they learned from the last lesson and chose a different tactic. Southampton players passed the ball into the penalty area, and a Southampton defender jumped high and headed the ball. However, the power and angle of the header were not ideal, and it was easily confiscated by Manchester United's goalkeeper Christian Romero.

In the 75th minute, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack. Rodrigo Hernandez intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed it directly to Marcus Rashford in front. After receiving the ball, Marcus Rashford broke through the Southampton defense at a very fast speed. Unfortunately, when shooting, he missed the position and deviated from the opponent's goal.

In the 82nd minute, in this tense atmosphere, Manchester United's attack surged into the Southampton penalty area like a tide. Cody Gakpo cut into the penalty area like a flash of lightning. His flexible pace and keen offensive awareness instantly confused the Southampton defenders. Cody Gakpo flexibly shook his body in the penalty area, trying to get rid of the defenders and create a chance for himself to shoot.

However, the Southampton defenders did not want to let him succeed easily. A defender rushed over, and his action seemed a bit reckless. Cody Gakpo was hit hard by the defender during a quick change of direction. He lost his balance and fell heavily in the penalty area.

The whole stadium seemed to be still at this moment, and all eyes were focused on the referee. The referee's eyes were fixed on the scene of the incident, and his expression was serious and earnest. After a brief observation and judgment, the referee blew the whistle without hesitation and made a penalty gesture.

Southampton's players immediately gathered around, and they appealed to the referee, thinking that the penalty was unreasonable. But the referee's decision had been made, and they could only accept it helplessly.

At this time, another dramatic scene appeared on the field. According to the team's penalty order, Bruno Fernandes is the first penalty taker currently on the field in Manchester United, but he gave the penalty opportunity to Erling Haaland.

Erling Haaland stood on the penalty spot, his eyes firm and confident. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nervous mood. At this critical moment, the entire stadium of Manchester United fans suddenly fell silent, while the majority of Southampton fans booed loudly, trying to interfere with Erling Haaland, who was taking the penalty.

But Erling Haaland seemed not to be affected by the boos, and he began to run up, his steps steady and powerful. At the moment he approached the football, he kicked the football hard with his right foot. The football flew out like a cannonball, flying towards the goal with a whistling wind. Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy pounced on the football with all his strength, but his fingertips only lightly brushed the surface of the football. The football flew into the lower right corner of the goal without suspense.

Manchester United rewrote the score again. Erling Haaland also scored his third goal of the game, completing a hat trick. Manchester United led Southampton 6:0 away.

In the following game time, Manchester United's players firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. They constantly consumed the time of the game through skillful ball control and tacit cooperation. Although the Southampton players did not give up, they seemed a little powerless in front of Manchester United's strong strength.

With the referee's whistle, the game ended. Manchester United finally defeated Southampton with a big score of 6:0. The players cheered and hugged on the court, and they were proud and proud of this hearty victory.

At the press conference after the game, reporters focused on "Erling Haaland gave up to Edinson Cavani" and "Bruno Fernandes gave up to Erling Haaland" and asked Manchester United coach Mourinho questions.

When talking about "Erling Haaland gave up to Edinson· Cavani", Mourinho said:

"Today on the field, we saw a very remarkable move. Erling Haaland gave the penalty opportunity to Edinson Cavani. This seems to be just a simple action, but it contains profound meaning. You know, at that time, Erling Haaland had already scored two goals, and the opportunity to perform a hat trick was right in front of him. The temptation for a shooter is huge. "

Mourinho's voice echoed in the press conference room, and all the reporters listened quietly. "At Manchester United, we have our own rules and traditions. The order of penalty kicks is not determined at will, it reflects the order and discipline of the team. Erling Haaland's behavior of giving up the penalty is a strict compliance with the team's rules. He understood that at that moment, according to the team's established order, Edinson Cavani should be the one standing in front of the penalty spot. This respect for the rules is an important basis for our team to maintain unity and efficient operation. "

He paused, as if recalling the scene on the field. "At the same time, this is also a respect for the predecessors. Edinson Cavani has been in football for many years and has accumulated rich experience and countless honors. As a young and promising player, Erling Haaland has shown maturity and humility beyond his age. He knows Edinson Cavani's ability and status, and he gave this opportunity to Edinson Cavani as a tribute to his predecessors. This atmosphere of respect is very valuable in our team. It can establish a good relationship between new and old players and let experience and vitality blend with each other. "

Mourinho's face was full of pride, and he continued: "This is not just a penalty kick, but also a manifestation of team spirit. At Manchester United, we emphasize the power of the collective. Every player is not an isolated individual, and every action they take must be considered for the benefit of the entire team. Erling Haaland's move sent a signal to all players that we must respect the rules, respect teammates, and work hard for a common goal. "

The reporters nodded and agreed with Mourinho's point of view. Mourinho continued to elaborate: "Such behavior has a far-reaching impact on the long-term development of the team. It can set an example for young players, so that they understand that while pursuing personal achievements, they must also pay attention to team harmony and unity. It can also make old players feel the respect and recognition of young players, so that they are more willing to pass on their experience to them. "

Finally, Mourinho concluded: "I am proud of Erling Haaland's behavior and proud that our team can have such an atmosphere. This is the spirit of Manchester United, and it will accompany us in every game and in every challenge. We will continue to cultivate and promote this spirit, so that Manchester United will shine more brightly in the football world. "

When talking about "Bruno Fernandes gave up the point to Erling Haaland", Mourinho said.

"Bruno Fernandes' behavior, in a sense, he broke the team's penalty kick rules. "Mourinho's words made the reporters at the scene laugh softly. "But I won't punish him. At that moment, his action seemed to violate our established penalty order, but in fact it reflected something more precious. "

Mourinho leaned back in his chair and raised his head slightly, as if recalling the scene in the game. "Everyone saw that Bruno Fernandes gave the penalty opportunity to Erling Haaland. This is not a simple act of giving up points, it reflects the harmonious relationship between our Manchester United players. In our big family, the love and care of the old players for the young players are fully demonstrated at this moment. "

His eyes softened and continued: "Bruno Fernandes knows what this penalty means to Erling Haaland. Erling Haaland is a very talented young player who is eager to prove himself on the court, and this hat trick will be a very important milestone in his career. Bruno Fernandes saw this and was willing to sacrifice his penalty kick to help Erling Haaland realize this wish. This kind of team spirit and selfless dedication cannot be measured by money. "Speaking of this, Mourinho blinked mysteriously, then smiled and revealed: "And, I also heard that because of this penalty, Erling Haaland successfully completed a hat trick and got a goal bonus. This kid has already promised to treat everyone to a good meal. ThisIt was an interesting episode in the game. "

The reporters at the scene laughed when they heard the news. They were infected by the harmonious and friendly atmosphere among Manchester United players.

Mourinho continued: "Such an atmosphere is very important in a team. It can make the players more united on the court and more willing to give for each other. We at Manchester United have been committed to building such a team culture, and the performance of the players today showed me that our efforts have not been in vain. "

His tone became serious: "Of course, the rules are still the rules, and we will still emphasize the order of penalty kicks in future training. However, such actions that reflect the deep friendship between players, I hope it can continue to be passed on in our team. "

As the interview ended, Mourinho stood up and left the press conference room. His words left a deep impression on the reporters at the scene.
