Everyone underestimated Mourinho's resentment towards Pogba, and did not understand how stubborn the Portuguese coach was. He really once again excluded Pogba from the 18-man roster in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Manchester United and Roma at home.

Roma, Mourinho did not take this opponent seriously. He has confidence in his team's strength, not to mention that this first round was held at Old Trafford, so it would not be too difficult for Manchester United to win the game.

Italian teams are best at defensive counterattacks, and Mourinho is best at defensive counterattacks. Of course, he knows what a team that plays defensive counterattacks is most afraid of, and knows how to use Manchester United's current lineup to defeat their opponents.

Even if Roma's defensive counterattack is different from Mourinho, Mourinho has a deep study of Italy's chain defense. He was able to lead Inter Milan to dominate Serie A and win the Champions League trophy, which was not a reliable luck.

Lukaku's power is the most powerful weapon to break Italy's chain defense!

Really...the most powerful!

As for Pogba... just go to the stands to watch the game honestly!

On April 24, 19:45 pm, Manchester United and Roma joined forces to enter the Old Trafford Stadium...

"No Paul Pogba! There is no Paul in our lineup. The midfielder is still composed of captain Herrera, B Fee and Matic. The old captain Carrick is sitting on the bench. Pogba still has no chance to play! It seems that the outside world is rumored that Mourinho is asking Pogba to pay the price for what he did before."

At present, due to media hype, the little things between Pogba and Mourinho are well known to everyone. From a fair and just perspective, Pogba's previous actions really harm the interests of the team. Mourinho punished him for this and did not give him a chance to appear... It seems normal.

But some discerning people can understand that Mourinho wanted to cleanse Pogba's rhythm, and the reason was not just because Pogba had tampered with his tactical arrangements before, or because Pogba spoke for Phil Jones. The main reason was... the veterans' meeting!

The veterans led by Pogba has really had a great impact on Manchester United's locker room, and it even fundamentally cut off any head coach's idea of ​​completely controlling the locker room.

Some people even analyzed that, in terms of Mourinho's desire to control the locker room, Pogba's approach is to cut off his long-term coaching of Manchester United!

This is the biggest contradiction between Mourinho and Pogba!

But even if there are fans who support Pogba, they can't tell Mourinho's fault. After all, Mourinho has won three championship trophys for Manchester United last season. Although it is the Europa League that is a bit valuable, Manchester United has strongly regained the Premier League championship this season. This makes the most picky Manchester United fans have to admit that Mourinho is the best coaching result among the three Manchester United coaches after the Ferguson era.

David Moyes and Van Gaal also spent a lot of money, but what did they bring to Manchester United?

Mourinho is also quite a loser. He did spend a lot of money on transfers, and there are even cases of failure like Sanchez, but he has already won the league championship for Manchester United!

This is enough for most fans to support any decision by Mourinho. Who stipulates that cleaning up Pogba... is a damage to Manchester United's interests?

Maybe, without Pogba's trouble, the "Red Devils" will be stronger next season?

What's more, Mourinho has already proved his tactical correctness with his record. So... do you trust him or Pogba?

Of course it’s Mourinho!

Although Mourinho's character is not very good, Mourinho is still more trustworthy than Pogba who is often naughty and causing trouble.

In the first round of Manchester United's home match with Roma, while the team's performance reassured the supporters, Mourinho once again proved his tactics correctness.

In the 8th minute, after Yang Xiaozhuang received the pass from Wan Bisaka on the right, he attracted Roma's left-back Clarov, but gave the ball to the space in front. Wan Bisaka, who was very fast, rushed up and immediately sent a cross.

The ball flew past the Roma penalty area and attracted two Roma's central defenders Manoras in the right position. Fazio's Lukaku did not touch the ball. He even interfered with the opponent for fear that the opponent would stop the ball.

As a result, the ball flew smoothly outside the small penalty area on the left side of the Roma team. Rashford, who was hit by the horse, not only received the ball, but also calmly completed the stop and shot...bang!

The ball flew into Roma's goal against the left post... 1:0, Manchester United, who played at home, took only 8 minutes to take the lead.

"Beautiful! Rashford's goal was so beautiful! Yang and Bisaka also played very sharply and decisively on the right. Lukaku's restraint in the middle was also very good. This goal was the result of our team's battle! In this crucial first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, we took only 8 minutes to get the lead!"

At this time, no one cares why there is no Pogba on the court. Anyway, Pogba is on the court for the sake of goals and victory. Since the team can score goals and win without Pogba now, it doesn’t matter!

Because he failed to enter the 18-man roster in this game, Pogba had to sit in the stands to watch the game. As a result, Manchester United took only 8 minutes to take the lead, which also made Pogba feel very depressed... It's the same with me or not, so where is my value reflected?

In this case, Real Madrid will definitely not fire the sky-high contract!

What made Pogba even more depressed was that... just five minutes later, Manchester United scored another goal!

This time, Lukaku and Rashford both ran to the left. After the two played and restrained Roma's defense to this side, Lukaku suddenly passed the ball to Herrera at the top of the penalty area.

As a result, this attracted the Roma left-back to drive Yang Xiaozhuang to defend, but Herrera just paused for a moment. In fact, he really gave Clarov a little more time so that he could get a little further away from Yang Xiaozhuang, and then...bang!

Herrera used his right foot to directly pick the ball into the small penalty area on the right side of the Roma team. Yang Xiaozhuang rushed up like a gust of wind, and then slashed the ball in the air... the ball entered!

2:0!

Just 13 minutes into the game, Manchester United, who played at home, had already led the team with two goals!

Damn it!
Chapter completed!
