According to Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United players have to demand more of themselves after they have reduced more points against Everton in Goodison Park.
If it weren’t for the exquisite free kick of the Portuguese, in which Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was made flat foot, United would probably have been sentenced to a 13th defeat of the Premier League of the season after scoring two goals in the half-time interval.
Fernandes’ efforts were divided into the match at 18 minutes, and there was an intelligent goal by Manuel Ugarte, who set home with his weaker left foot after Everton could not clarify her lines.
United may be lucky that late VAR intervention had given a late punishment for the Toffees, but it is now in focus for Fernandes when improving the performance of the standards, which the 30-year-old wants to see that His teammates ask for themselves.
“I think in the second half you are obviously 2-0, you have more freedom because you already lose, so you have nothing to lose,” said Fernandes after the match. “I think they are trying to do something else, and that’s why we get the result.
“Every point is now massive for us because we are in a very difficult position for us. Every point counts for us at the moment. We have to be aware that the position in which we are located the club must be.
“We have to ask for more of ourselves.”
Fernandes was reproduced by head coach Ruben Amorim, who still combines a very complicated United puzzle, in which his secondary games normally start slowly before waking up later.
“We just played half and managed to draw the game. We didn’t exist in the first half,” said Amorim bluntly reporters.
“Everything we did during the week … I think the free man was there, I think the room was there, I think there were balls that we cannot lose. And then in the second half, And at halftime I believe: ‘Regardless of the result, we will do what we did during the week, but with a little more energy. In quality that we played the game. “
“You see the first games, we lose some passes and some games and lose the ball. In a different way, to control the game, to push the opponent, and then the team feels a little more confident.
“Maybe it is because you have nothing to lose, I don’t know, but we have to appear better, especially in the first half.”
