"Look at your performance on the field! Disorganized offense, loose defense, low-level mistakes. You are Manchester United, a team with a glorious history and glory, not an amateur team!" Mourinho's voice gradually became louder, full of anger and blame.

He walked to the tactical board and tapped the picture on the board with the pen in his hand. "In terms of offense, you lack sufficient tacit understanding and cooperation. The pass was random, the running position was not active, and too many opportunities were wasted. Jamal Musiala's breakthrough was wonderful, but the subsequent attack did not keep up. Romelu Lukaku had several good opportunities in the penalty area, but they were all resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper. You must be more decisive, calmer, and seize every opportunity to break the opponent's goal.. "

Then, Mourinho pointed to the defensive area. "Look at our defense again, it's full of loopholes! Bruno Fernandes' irrational behavior has brought great trouble to the team. You can't lose your mind because of a momentary emotion, which is a taboo on the court. Cardiff City's offense is not strong, but we gave them too many opportunities. In the second half, you must be more focused, improve the intensity of defense, and don't give the opponent any more chances. "

Mourinho stopped talking, and there was silence in the locker room, only the heavy breathing of the players. His eyes swept over everyone again, and his tone was slightly softened: "I believe you all have strength and fighting spirit. But football is a team sport that requires everyone's efforts and dedication. In the second half of the game, I hope to see your changes. Show your courage and determination and fight for the glory of Manchester United! ”

The players listened quietly to the coach's criticism, with guilt and self-blame on their faces. But at the same time, the flame of fighting spirit was ignited in their eyes.
