Creek: We Could Have Won, the Red Card Was a Mistake!
Mike Crick, Manchester United head coach, believes Lenny Yoro should not have been sent off during the match against Atletico Madrid.
According to "Varesh Se", Michael Carrick, the head coach of Manchester United, was also under pressure before the Red Devils' trip to Madrid. In Madrid, his team could not get a good result despite the simultaneous presence of three expensive and new purchases in the midfield, namely Carlos Balba, Andre Santos and Yuri Tillmans.
Carrick said after the match that he had mixed feelings; Because according to him, despite the defeat, his team had a promising show.
He said: "I have different feelings. It is difficult enough to play in such a stadium and the start we had naturally made it difficult for us; But I think we gradually got better during the game."
He said about the second half of his team: "In the second half, we took control of the game to some extent, although we could not create many dangerous situations. Then came Bruno Fernandez's chance and then the red card, which I think was a wrong decision. All in all, I'm really disappointed with the chances we had and that we couldn't create more. We were close to winning, but we did not perform well in some scenes.
We tried to play with a slightly different approach. I think we did well at times when we were in possession and when we were trying to pass. Defensively, we probably let them move the ball too much from one side of the field to the other and that put us in a difficult position at times.
However, we were able to manage these conditions for most of the minutes of the game and Sane Lamans didn't have much to do either. The most important issue is that we feel that there was a chance for us to get results in this match; Therefore, we could and should have gotten a better result."
With the pressure mounting, Carrick was asked when he expected his team to settle in and once again return to the good form with which they ended last season. He answered: "We must definitely find a way to achieve this goal. Today's match was just a special game. This is the Champions League and it is difficult to play in such a stadium. In this sense, the situation is different when we look at the bigger picture. We have to improve some aspects of our game. "In some areas, we have an acceptable performance, but we definitely need to win matches."
Carrick was also asked to react to Lisandro Martinez's comments and his criticism of the managers. The head coach of Manchester United said that he has not yet heard the words of the Argentinian defender, but he asked his players to stay together during this difficult period. He said: "We all care about this club and each of us shows this in a different way, but now is definitely the time to be together and try to overcome this situation. "Now we have a big game coming up on Sunday and we have to prepare for it."
