Solskjaer: Manchester United win better when dribbling less, selling McTominay is shocking
6686 Sports November 13th In a chat program organized by the video website, Solskjaer, Neville, Keane, Scott, Wright and others discussed the situation of Manchester United and the problems of some old Red Devils players. Solskjaer talked about many points, excerpts are as follows.
Speaking of McTominay
“When I was coaching Manchester United, Scott had difficulty playing in the position that suited him best. As you can see, against Leeds United, I said to him at the time, It's a defensive strategy, you have to move, pick up, drop back, get forward and then he can score some goals... I was shocked by Manchester United's decision to sell him. I think you need some players who understand and understand the club. He proved in Italy what a super ball player he is. He has the quality that the club needs."
Talking about Rashford
"I basically haven't spoken to Marcus since I left Manchester United, just exchanged some text messages. I don't know his current living situation, and my feeling is that he is enjoying life in Barcelona, which is very different from his previous time at Manchester United. I wish him all the best because when he was strong and happy, he was an incredible player."
Talk about Manchester United's current strategic system
"Any opponent will be very difficult to play against a team that perfectly implements this system. Sometimes, you need your opponent to press you, so that your system can work better. Manchester United seems to be able to win the game better when the dribbling rate is less than 50% than when the dribbling rate is 60% or 65%."
Talking about Martial
"He is very talented. When he is in good form, he is simply unstoppable." When Solskjaer expressed this view, Keane responded with a very strange expression.
On coaching in Besiktas
“My time in Turkey was a roller coaster, but it was wonderful. The people there are passionate, both good and bad. I personally am a calm, calm person, but people there get very excited when they win and very frustrated when they lose. I don’t like to get too excited or down, and I expected them to accept that. My point is, they are too enthusiastic and think it’s over when they win.”
On whether he would like to coach the Norwegian national team in the future
“Of course we do! But we have a good coach Solbakken, but if one day he does not renew his contract, of course. Who doesn’t want to work with Haaland again?”
