Young forwards need to learn Edinson Cavani. Rashford, Greenwood or Anthony Martial are still young and talented, but now they have the necessary rivalry, as well as a man of class and experience to look to.

Edinson Cavani runs the risk of suspending 3 games. After beating Southampton, the Uruguayan striker is a hero, he shared a friend’s wishes on Instagram, including delicate words related to racism. Although it removed it, but the BBC said the British Football Association (FA) has considered it.
A suspended sentence is something Cavani may have to accept even if he has no racist intentions. Bernardo Silva’s example was still there when last year, the Portuguese was banned from playing a game for making fun of Benjamin Mendy on social media that the FA considers racist behavior, even if Mendy himself defended his teammates.
If Cavani is sidelined due to such an incident, it is certainly a shame for Manchester United, especially after his last performance against Southampton. Just over 45 minutes, the 33-year-old forward has proven his worth and demonstrated why the Old Trafford team brought him back.
A striker is over 30 years old, a contract completed on the last day of the summer transfer window is easy to raise doubts, but El Matador has cleared all doubts. Face wrinkled, mouth screamed after scoring, all ribs revealed in his solid body, Cavani like a roaring lion asserting power in his steppe. Manchester United needed a forward with both skill and experience and Cavani has responded.
It must be said that Manchester United had a bad first half, although they had to receive 2 goals. They had a good implementation with a 4-3-1-2 diamond diagram and had relatively favorable chances, but Mason Greenwood or Bruno Fernandes couldn’t get the ball into goalkeeper Alex McCarthy’s net. . Meanwhile, 2 goals from 2 fixed situations made them go off the field in the first half with an advantage.
And that’s when Cavani appeared.

“It is a number 9 that always wants to appear between the two columns of the goal. It is always ready to move. He wants to be in front of you, ”which is what manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shared about the Cavani forward after the game.
In the 55th minute, Cavani had the first chance with a pass from Donny Aan de Beek. He turned to shoot in the penalty area, but the ball went over the crossbar unfortunately. But just before that shot was the situation where he stepped back and actively turned against the wall for Bruno Fernandes.
Four minutes later, receiving the ball on the right wing from Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Fernandes observed that Fernandes had a good space between the two Southampton midfielders, Cavani launched a low cross into the area. The Portuguese midfielder controlled neatly and finished to shorten the score for the visitors.
But a great day for Cavani, of course, cannot end there. Management, coaching staff and “Red Devils” fans expected him to bring a goal, and he did. Both goals from the Uruguayan forwards were magnificent from the head, but it was the result of the ability to move and the insight into the penalty area of a skilled striker who holds a record. Most goals in the history of Paris Saint-Germain.
In football there is a fairly basic tactic that is that the attacking player rushes towards the goal as soon as his teammates finish, thus increasing the chances that we will eat second ball situations. The core of this theory is that the player must be able to move very fast and always act before the ball leaves a teammate’s feet. Cavani’s two goals against Southampton are testament to that.
In the 73rd minute, after Alex Telles took the corner, goalkeeper McCarthy cleared the ball in front of the box before Fred passed Bruno Fernandes. Everyone is still watching what decision the Portuguese midfielder will make, most likely a remote possibility because it is a distance and a favorable situation.

But as soon as Fernandes got ready to kick, Cavani opened his body, got rid of the mentor and stepped in front of the goalkeeper on the Southampton side. Fernandes’ long shot sent the ball the other way, and Cavani was ready to prepare for a sensational header.
On the Sky Sports set, former striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink had no praise for himself: “The main problem is movement, every young striker has to watch it to learn.” It all depends on the ability to move. He predicts, he’s always ready to move, knows where the ball is going and hits his head on the net.
At 90 + 2 minutes, Rashford had the ball on his left flank. Cavani is now behind midfielder Jannik Vestergaard. In the article on The Athletic, writer Carl Anka analyzed this goal as follows: “Cavani’s mobility is exemplary for any striker who makes a run to pick up a cross at the near post.
Timing first of all, he only decided to move after Vestergaard had looked at him and when the attention of Bednarek (the remaining Southampton midfielder, who was facing Cavani) noticed the cross. Which means that one central does not know where he is and the other thinks he does.
Next is the angle of movement. Pay attention to where Cavani starts running and where he ends up. He took control of the space before hitting his head and once again lowered his body, twisting his neck to turn a good opportunity into a better one.
It is true that Rashford crossed a good ball, but it was true that it only became a goal thanks to Cavani’s intelligence. Opta statistics show that Cavani is the first Manchester United player to contribute a direct mark to three or more goals in a Premier League match when coming off the bench since Solskjaer scored four goals at the net. Nottingham Forest, February 1999.

Solskjaer has a famous career thanks to his position as “son” from the bench, and in the last game he has made a crowd change exactly as old master Sir Alex Ferguson had many times to pitch. entered the field in the middle of the game.
It can be said that Hasselbaink is right, young forwards need to learn Cavani. Rashford, Greenwood or Anthony Martial are still young and talented, but now they have the necessary rivalry, as well as a man of class and experience to look to. They need to learn from the Uruguayan striker the skills necessary to become a true scorer, as well as “his meticulousness in training camp, dressing room or meals”, as coach Solskjaer put it.
Especially in the context of Martial having big problems with his hunting ability when he hasn’t scored any goals in the Premier League this season, Cavani is a trustworthy person that the Norwegian strategist should look to.
After all, it’s still a familiar but classic saying: the older the ginger, the spicier.
