The portrait of a MU player taught Van Dijk the art of defense

When MU brought in Lisandro Martinez from Ajax for 50 million pounds, many opinions said that MU had ‘thrown money out the window’ by spending a large amount of money to bring in a player who is only 1m75 tall in the central defender position.

Lisandro Martinez had a disastrous performance in two matches MU lost to Brighton and Brentford.

It seemed like coach Ten Hag would look at Martinez’s disastrous performance to eliminate him in the match against Liverpool, however, the Dutch coach’s decision surprised everyone.

With a disastrous performance at the beginning of the season, Manucians fear that Martinez will continue to have a poor performance in the match against Liverpool.

There were many mixed opinions when witnessing Ten Hag’s above decision.

Lisandro Martinez this morning is a very different Lisandro Martinez than he was a week ago.

However, this morning’s performance by Lisandro Martinez shattered all doubts.

On the defensive side, the Argentine player recovered the ball 3 times, cleared the ball 7 times and had 1 interception.

It is certain that without that save, the score would certainly have been 1-1 and it is unlikely that MU would have been able to deploy the game as planned.

It was even Martinez who saved the match right on the goal line for the ‘Red Devils’.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the front line, his 1m93 tall colleague Virgil Van Dijk had a disastrous performance.

In the first situation, the Dutch player hesitated and stood motionless in front of Alisson Becker, allowing Jadon Sancho to freely have space to shoot the goal.

Meanwhile, his colleague Van Dijk on the other side of the front line had a very bad day.

With a fierce and fierce playing style, accompanied by extremely intelligent judgment, it is not difficult to understand why Martinez is called ‘The Butcher of Amsterdam’ by Ajax fans.
