Cavani shines against Southampton
Cavani was directly involved in MU’s 3 goals against Southampton |
Entering the bank, Edinson Cavani inspired MU upstream from Southampton. The Uruguayan forward’s form once again showed signs of improvement.
In recent years, MU has tended to sign experienced center-forwards despite being viewed as outdated. After Radamel Falcao, Odion Ighalo … now Cavani. The former PSG member arrives at Old Trafford free form on the final day of the summer transfer window.
The Uruguayan forward continues to be very useful for MU |
Falcao’s failure in the past caused him to be compared to Cavani, a South American and also Ligue 1 striker. However, for “El Matador”, early indications point to he could play a bigger role in MU, even to the 33 years.
On a day when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team appeared to be beaten by Southampton on the ball, Cavani showed the quality of a top scorer. Only 45 minutes into the second half, he had 2 goals, 1 assist to help MU upstream win 3-2, continue to climb the Premier League table.
After just the first 33 minutes, Southampton took a 2-0 lead. But around the same time, just at the end of the 59-90 + 2 match, MU had more than 1 goal to win all 3 points off the south coast.
This is the 10th time in Premier League history, MU won Southampton upstream. Solskjaer and the Reds coaching staff couldn’t hide their joy after Cavani headed in to score the decisive goal in injury time.
That’s the instinct of a “killer”, which seems to have been lacking in MU in the Premier League since the start of the season. In 45 minutes on the field, Cavani made 4 shots. The main MU striker in this match are Greenwood and Rashford, they only have 3 of the 45 and 90 minutes of them on the field.
Greenwood only played 45 minutes and then retired |
Cavani’s smart and sensitive move clearly helped MU. Rashford, Greenwood or Anthony Martial, who missed the game with a cold, are not the real “number 9”.
Evoke dreams
After the match, Solskjaer did not regret praising his students: “Cavani has all the qualities of a high-class player. He gave us a destination in the penalty area, something MU has not had since Lukaku left.
“Martial, Rashford and Greenwood are different types of forwards. They give us a great balance and coincidence. “
Solskjaer has a new solution when MU hires Cavani |
From the moment he arrived at MU, Cavani emphasized helping young teammates like the three mentioned above become more professionally mature. But they will learn more when they work side by side with players from Uruguay in official matches.
Before back-to-back goals, Greenwood, Rashford and Fernandes all missed MU’s obvious opportunities. But the last name is the one that lit the hopes of the Red Devils with a clean shot in the penalty area after Cavani’s pass.
Raised to the old general, Cavani is still full of goals |
After that, minutes 74 and 90 + 2 saw Cavani have two perfect headers to complete MU’s spectacular comeback. The Manchester team have currently won 8 straight matches and are slowly climbing to the top of the rankings after a disappointing start in the Premier League.
Cavani’s brilliance contributed greatly to MU’s victory and certainly eased some of the pressure that still exists in Solskjaer’s coach seat. At the age of 33, it’s hard to expect “El Matador” to play the main kick continually for the Red Devils. But he is still capable enough to pose a potential threat to the opponent’s defense when on the field.
