- Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1 Manchester United
– If you think about the dismissal of Ole Gunnar, I don’t think so. I don’t think they’ll kick Solskjær before things get completely impossible, but we haven’t got there yet. It is the environment that creates the pressure, Jan Åge Fjørtoft said in Viasat after the match.
Because after the loss to Arsenal this weekend, and tonight’s shameful performance in Istanbul, Solskjær’s skeptics are back in the mill.
– Today they are worse than ever, said Morten Langli in the summary of the match in Viasat.
– That’s how it is in football. You have to perform better, we haven’t, but we know we can do better and we’re not happy with ourselves, Ole Gunnar Solskjær replied in an interview shown on Viasat.
– A low point in Solskjær’s time at the club? asked presenter Daniel Høglund in the direction of Morten Langli.
– This is down there with the weakest performances. There have been some ugly shots, but this here, to totally fail against a weak team away from home … replied the football expert.
Shocking defensive play
It started badly for Manchester United in Turkey.
Suddenly, former Chelsea striker Demba Ba had more than half the field to run, Manchester United’s defense completely disappeared and the ball arrived perfectly.
The 35-year-old probably scored only with Dean Henderson, who had a chance on goal when David de Gea was at halftime.
– You don’t believe it until you see it, I’ve never seen it at this level. Shocking score, Morten Langli said about Viasat during the break.
But the Manchester United defense did not finish handing out gift packages.
Towards the end of the inning, Juan Mata lost the ball in his own half. The hosts fought back, Demba ba fooled the entire defense with a deft jump and captain Edin Visca had free rein to shoot the ball into the net.
Cuffs made
At least he woke up Solskjær’s men, who immediately slashed his head with an Anthony Martial.
Axel Tuanzebe played very well in the last Champions League game against PSG, but this time he was the victim of Solskjær’s wrath. He was replaced at halftime by Scott McTominay after a weak performance in the first 45 minutes in Istanbul.
It did not give immediate results, and after the hour played, the Norwegian raised both Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani. Thus, all the offensive stars were out, at the same time, against a home team that put all the men on defense.
But it didn’t help, Manchester United couldn’t create chances against a deep and cynical Basaksehir side.
– They lack players who can dribble and create discomfort when tight, said Lars Tjærnås in Viasat on the way.
Only in extra time did the opportunity come, then it was in the corner. But the ball was saved on the line.
– It was very difficult. They were well organized and scored two good goals, even though it was a bad defensive move on our part, Solskjær said in an interview shown on Viasat after the match.
– There was no reaction after the weak first half, it is disappointing, said Jan Åge Fjørtoft in Viasat.
Fredrik Gulbrandsen arrived in the final ten minutes for Basaksehir and was therefore part of the club’s first Champions League victory.
