Ten HAG: 'Man Utd received the lesson'

"Man Utd performed well in the first half. But in the second half, after leaving the dressing room, we controlled the match but lost the advantage. This is a bad result, and is a lesson for the team ", Ten Hag said after the draw in Perth.

The Dutch military leader said that this was Man Utd's backwards, although the whole team has improved in many aspects in the past two weeks. He also affirmed that the yard was tilled in many places due to heavy rain or fatigue was not an excuse for this draw. He said: "Regardless of the conditions, we have to show well. Football is the sport of mistakes and we have to minimize that."

In the last friendly match during the Australian tour, Ten HAG used the strongest squad with David de Gea, Harry Maguire, Fred, Bruno Fernandes or Jadon Sancho. Man Utd, thanks to that, controls the game and creates many opportunities. They concretized with the opening goal in the 25th minute, when Luke Shaw escaped and then crossed Sancho into the drum net. At the end of the first half, Rashford shot the error in the penalty, but the ball accidentally hit Matty Cash's foot to change the direction of the net, helping the "Red Devils" doubled the gap.

However, Man Utd could not extend the winning chain under Ten HAG because of mistakes in the second half. In the 49th minute, Leon Bailey turned to Victor Lindelof and then cut down to the far corner of De Gea. By the third minute of injury time, Bailey continued to leave a mark with a corner kick for Calum Chambers to head close to the score of 2-2.

This result made Man Utd unable to maintain the achievement of full victory under Ten HAG. Earlier, "Red Devils" lowered Liverpool 4-0, Melbourne Victory 4-1 and Crystal Palace 3-1.

When asked if this result would pull Man Utd back to the ground, Ten HAG replied: "That's what I just said in the dressing room, the concentration in the second half is unacceptable. As a break, we have to follow the plan and maintain the concentration and performance. That's what we did not do. "

Closing the trip in Asia and Australia, Man Utd will return to Europe to play friendly with Atletico in Norway on July 30 and meet Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford after one day. Ten HAG said that Man Utd will have a match and use another system, when meeting two Spanish clubs. The rookie Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez can be given the opportunity for these matches.
