Barcelona scored the first goal and took the advantage.
But it's still early and Manchester United has plenty of time.
Next, Manchester United also stepped up its offense.
They looked forward to an equalizer before the end of the first half.
But their offense is in big trouble.
Barcelona's defense is very solid today. From the beginning until now, Manchester United has not given any chance.
Alba, Mascherano, Pique, Roberto.
This kind of defensive combination is the best in the world.
Pique is still Barcelona's talisman and is good at preventing high-altitude balls.
Mascherano's defensive coverage is huge and his running is top-notch.
Roberto, a product of his own youth training, is good both offensively and defensively, and has already become one of the best full-backs in La Liga.
Alba is a rare left-footed player in Spain. He has strong defensive and assisting abilities. He had double assists last season.
With such a defensive line, Manchester United's forward line is under great pressure.
Today Mourinho sent a strike combination of Ibrahimovic and Rashford, with Mkhitaryan assisting behind him.
Coupled with Xia Xing and Pogba delivering artillery shells, there should be no problem.
But just can't score.
Ibrahimovic, who once played for Barcelona, was full of fighting spirit in this game.
But under Pique's close defense, it was difficult for him to make a difference.
After all, he had just returned from injury and his physical condition was not at its best.
Rashford's speed advantage is not very prominent in front of Barcelona right back Roberto.
After several consecutive impacts, they were all overturned.
Manchester United's two most threatening shots even come from the midfield.
Xia Xing and Pogba each shot a long shot, just shy of breaking the net.
Manchester United temporarily trailed 0-1 in the first half.
In the second half, Manchester United changed sides and changed 11 players.
But they still failed to create too many good opportunities.
In the 75th minute of the game, Messi relied on a counterattack opportunity and fired a low shot from the top of the penalty area, blasting away the goal guarded by De Gea.
2-0, Barcelona expanded its lead.
It wasn't until the 89th minute of the game that Lukaku relied on a counterattack opportunity, received a direct pass from Matic, walked through the Barcelona defense, and scored with a powerful shot.
1 to 2, Manchester United pulled back a goal.
But there is no time.
In the end, Manchester United lost by one goal in this game and lost their first International Champions Cup match.
Although he lost, Mourinho did not criticize the players today.
He still stayed in the locker room for a long time, explaining to everyone the problems of today's game.
Especially the coordination problem in the midfield and frontcourt.
This season, Ibrahimovic and Rooney have aged, and their physical fitness and speed have further declined; Lukaku has joined the new team, and his cooperation with his teammates is not high enough; Rashford and Martial are not fully in shape either.
Manchester United's conceding of the ball in this game was not a special mistake. It was because Barcelona's offense was too good.
But Manchester United's forwards can't score goals, which is a big problem.
Seeing the players a little frustrated because of the loss, Mourinho encouraged everyone.
"We are losing now because we want to lose less and not lose in the league and the Champions League. Winning is not important, finding the problem is the ultimate goal of the friendly match. Cheer up, I am very confident that if this season We meet Barcelona again and we will win!"
After losing the first game, Manchester United continued to forge ahead.
Three days later they came to the Santa Clara Stadium, where they would face Real Madrid for their second game.After losing to Barcelona, the Manchester United soldiers held their breath and wanted to make a big splash in this game.
Especially the forward line is gearing up.
But Mourinho did not give them a chance to attack.
Mourinho's tactical arrangement for this game was to set up a bus.
"Guys, wake up today!"
Facing the strong Real Madrid, Manchester United changed its previous strong posture in this game and completely retreated.
On the front line, only Lukaku is left.
The midfielder includes Xia Xing, Matic, Fellaini, Herrera and Schneiderlin.
Five players, all defensive heroes!
Zidane on the opposite side looked dizzy.
It's just a friendly match. Is this how Manchester United plays it?
Mourinho didn't care.
I don't care if the scene is good or not, I just want to practice and see if we can maintain a draw when we face the Champions League champions.
Or, grab a win!
Unlike Manchester United's stoic defense, Real Madrid deployed its full lineup.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, and the BBC team all appeared.
Modric, Toni Kroos, Casemiro, the classic three midfielder also appeared.
Players such as Varane and Carvajal on the defensive line are also included.
This kind of Real Madrid is the strongest Real Madrid at present!
From the first minute of the game, they dominated Manchester United.
This is also within everyone's expectations.
Cristiano Ronaldo's low shot after passing someone!Slightly off!
Benzema receives a header from a cross!Knocked out by De Gea's double punch!
Bell used his speed to break away from Manchester United's right defense!A long shot!Slide out the door!
In the midfield, Modric and Toni Kroos each also had long-range shots, which were very threatening.
But even with such a fierce attack, Real Madrid still couldn't score.
Until the 44th minute of the game.
Just when everyone thought the first half would end with 0-0, Manchester United suddenly showed strength!
Matic's interception of the ball in the backcourt caused Casemiro's through ball to change the direction!
The ball fell to Xia Xing's feet!
Without hesitation, Xia Xing made a long pass to find Lukaku in front!
Lukaku is not close to the goal, but he dribbles the ball very quickly!
After receiving the ball, he strode forward to the penalty area!
Varane tried his best to pull, but he couldn't stop it!
Carvajal stepped forward with an assist and could not come back for the time being!
Lukaku rushes in!
In the penalty area, he shot a low shot and the ball went straight to the far corner of the goal!
The distance is too close and goalkeeper Navas can do nothing!
The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!
At the end of the first half, Manchester United used an effective counterattack to score a goal!
They were the first to break the deadlock!
Mourinho on the sidelines pumped his fist in excitement!
awesome!
This is what I want to see!
Guys, just kick it!
Two minutes later, Ronaldo's free kick was blocked by the wall, and the referee's whistle sounded.
The first half is over.
With a one-goal lead, Mourinho returned to the dressing room humming.
Looking at all the returning players, Mourinho smiled and nodded.
“Guys, I’m very satisfied with your performance just now!
“Just kick like this, no problem!
"We have made quite a few changes in the frontcourt this season and it will take some time to get used to it.
"So compared to Real Madrid, our offense is not superior.
"We must admit this,
“But that doesn’t mean we can’t beat them!
“As long as we continue to defend as solidly as we did in the first half and continue to defend,
“They will definitely still find flaws!
“Especially the two wingers, they are pressing forward, so don’t blame us for attacking!
“In the second half, our tactics remained the same!
"Stand up and defend, there will be no leaks!
"Seize the opportunity to attack quickly and show no mercy!" (End of Chapter)
