The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

In the next attack, Manchester United's new player Romelu Lukaku began to show his power. After receiving the pass from Rodrigo Hernandez in the penalty area, he tried to use his strong body to squeeze out Fulham's central defender Maxime Le Marchand who was defending him and shoot. Romelu Lukaku was like a bull, carrying the defender and then turned to shoot. But Fulham's defenders did not give him much space, and the ball was blocked by another central defender Alfie Mawson.

Fulham was not without the ability to fight back under Manchester United's fierce attack. In the 79th minute, they seized the opportunity of Manchester United's offensive error and quickly launched a counterattack. After the captain Thomas Cairney intercepted the ball in the midfield, he, like an experienced hunter, accurately found the striker Andre Schurrle with a long pass. After Andre Schurrle received the ball, he took advantage of his speed and broke through along the left side at lightning speed. Manchester United defender Lu Kershaw quickly chased back, and when Andre Schürrle was about to enter the penalty area, Lu Kershaw made a clean tackle and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

As the game progressed, Manchester United's attack became more and more fierce. In the 82nd minute, Scott McTominay intercepted the ball near the midfield and shot directly without hesitation. The ball flew towards the goal with great force, and Fulham goalkeeper Sergio Rico seemed to have turned into an indestructible wall. He stared at the rapidly approaching football with his eyes, quickly determined the flight trajectory of the ball, then jumped up, stretched his body to the extreme in the air, and his arms were as hard as steel, lifting the ball over the crossbar.

Manchester United's corner kick was sent out again. This time, Erling Haaland grabbed a favorable position in the penalty area. He jumped high and prepared to head the ball. However, fate seemed to play a joke on him, and his header was slightly off the goal post. Erling Haaland slapped his head in frustration, knowing that this was a great chance to score.

In the final stages of the game, Manchester United pressed almost all of its forces into Fulham's half. They constantly threatened Fulham's goal through short passes and long shots. In the 87th minute, Rodrigo Hernandez sent a wonderful straight pass at the front of the penalty area, and Romelu Lukaku understood and quickly inserted. But Fulham's central defender Maxime Le Marchand reacted quickly, blocking Romelu Lukaku's position in advance and destroying the ball out of the baseline.

Manchester United's corner kick was sent out again.

This time, Romelu Lukaku grabbed the first point in the penalty area. His header was blocked by Fulham defender Maxime Le Marchand with his body. The ball fell at the feet of Erling Haaland in the penalty area. Erling Haaland shot without hesitation, but the ball was miraculously saved by Fulham goalkeeper Sergio Rico again.

In the last few minutes of the game, Manchester United still did not give up. They kept attacking, but Fulham's defense was like a solid fortress and was never broken. And Sergio Rico, the goalkeeper of Fulham, always maintained a high degree of concentration and vigilance. Every save he made was like guarding the last line of defense. In the end, with the referee's whistle, Manchester United lost to Fulham 0:1 away and ushered in the first defeat of the season.

This game was like a bitter nightmare for Manchester United. They made great efforts in this game and created many scoring opportunities, but they failed to change the score in the end.

As the referee blew the whistle, several young Manchester United players on the field seemed to have lost all their strength in an instant:

Joshko Gwadiol, who was on the back line, put his hands weakly on his knees, his shoulders trembling slightly, and tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the grass. Nico Williams, who was in the midfield, fell on the grass, curled up as if he wanted to hide himself and escape this cruel reality. His eyes were red, and he bit his lips, trying to hold back his tears, but the torrent of sadness could not be stopped. Erling Haaland, who was on the forward line, looked at the sky with empty eyes, tears rolling in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and smashed them on the grass, as if blaming himself for his powerlessness. He thought of the missed scoring opportunities, the moments that could have changed the direction of the game.

Captain Harry Maguire, who was sitting on the bench, looked at these young teammates on the field with a heart full of heartache. He knew that failure was not a good thing, especially for these young players, it might be a heavy blow in their careers. Harry MagwayHarry Maguire stood up, his figure looked particularly firm in the sun. He walked into the court with a steady pace, like a battle-hardened general going to comfort his wounded soldiers.

Harry Maguire walked to Joshko Gwadiol, squatted down, gently patted Joshko Gwadiol's shoulder, looked at his tearful face, and said, "Don't be too sad, kid. It's just a game, and failure is a stepping stone to success. We learn from failure and will do better next time." Joshko Gwadiol raised his head, looked at Harry Maguire's firm eyes, and felt a warm power.

Harry Maguire stretched out his hand, Joshko Gwadiol held his hand, and stood up with Maguire's help.

Then, Harry Maguire came to Nico Williams' side. He sat next to Nico Williams, gently hugged Nico Williams in his arms, and said, "I know you are sad, but you have done a great job. We have seen your efforts. Don't deny yourself because of this failure." Nico Williams sobbed in Harry Maguire's arms, and he felt the captain's love and encouragement. Harry Maguire helped Nico Williams wipe away his tears, and then pulled him up.

Finally, Harry Maguire walked to Erling Haaland. He looked at Erling Haaland's frustrated expression and said, "Haaland, you are the offensive core of our team. We were unlucky in today's game, but everyone knows your ability. Don't be discouraged, we still have many opportunities." Erling Haaland looked at Harry Maguire and nodded.

Harry Maguire stretched out his hand, Erling Haaland held his hand, and stood up with his help.

Harry Maguire led these young players, their faces were still covered with tears, but there was already a hint of determination in their eyes. Together, they walked towards the Manchester United fans who had come from afar. These fans had been silently supporting the team in the stands, and their cheers and shouts never stopped during the game. The players stood in a row and bowed deeply to the fans. This bow contained their gratitude to the fans and their apologies for this failure.

The fans looked at these players, and their hearts were also full of emotion. They knew that these players had tried their best, and failure could not cover up their efforts and dedication. The fans applauded and cheered for these players. They shouted the names of the players to let the players know that their support would never change.

Harry Maguire raised his head and looked at these lovely fans. He said loudly: "Thank you for your continued support. We lost today, but we will not be defeated by failure. We will stand up again and become stronger." The players also nodded.

Head coach Mourinho, who was standing far away, looked at Harry Maguire's actions with a look of satisfaction, and was sincerely pleased to have such a team captain.

At the press conference after the game, Manchester United head coach Mourinho said: "The loss of this game is my responsibility!" This simple and direct sentence took the responsibility for the first defeat of the season on himself.

When talking about Pepe, Mourinho frowned slightly and his tone became solemn: "I think we should look at Pepe's red card from a more comprehensive perspective. In that extremely critical situation, Pepe saw a hole in the defense line, and his first reaction was to make up for it. This is the instinctive reaction of a responsible player. He rushed over because he had a strong desire to win and he wanted to contribute to the team. We can't simply define the action at that moment as a malicious foul. It was actually just an impulsive act of a player eager to save the situation in a highly tense atmosphere. Pepe has always been a key defensive figure in the team. His physical fitness and defensive awareness are top-notch. He successfully resolved the opponent's attack countless times in previous games and built a solid defense for the team. We can't forget all his previous efforts and contributions because of this impulse. He is an important member of the team. This red card is just a small setback in his career." When it comes to Erling Haaland, Mourinho's eyes became deeper. "Haaland is a very talented player. He tried his best on the field today. Those shots that didn't go in cannot be blamed entirely on him. The ball is round, and its trajectory is sometimes so unpredictable. Every time Haaland stood in front of the goal, he had a strong belief in scoring for the team. He kept looking forLooking for opportunities, constantly attacking the opponent's goal. Just like in this game, he had several excellent shooting opportunities. There was no problem with his running and shooting movements, but there was an invisible veil between the ball and the goal, which made the ball miss the goal again and again. This is not because he is not capable, but the unpredictable luck on the football field. He has shown his strength as an excellent striker in many games. His explosive power and his sense of smell in front of the goal are top-notch. Today's missed shots are just a small ups and downs in his state. We should keep confidence in such a young and potential player. "

Mourinho's words are full of protection for the players. He knows that as a coach, when the team loses, he must not only take responsibility, but also protect the confidence of the players. "We can't deny the efforts of the players because of the loss of this game. Pepe has made great contributions to the team in previous games. His defensive ability and fighting spirit are obvious to all. As for Haaland, he has proved himself to be an excellent striker in many games, and today is just a small setback in his form. "

His eyes slowly swept across the reporters in the audience, as if conveying a message to them, that is, Manchester United is a united collective, and will not blame each other because of a defeat. "We will learn lessons from this defeat. I will carefully analyze every detail of the game and find out our shortcomings. We will adjust tactics, strengthen training, and make the team stronger. "

In this press conference room, Mourinho is like a lonely guardian, guarding his players. Although his words cannot change the result of the game, it allows people to see the responsibility of a coach and his care for the players.
