Lin Mo was sitting on the bench, with Lukaku next to him.
Facing Borja's blitz goal, Lin Mo quickly lowered his head. Seeing that Lukaku was about to make a classic expression of disdain, he pressed his head down.
"Are you really stupid? If the camera isn't looking for us at this time, why should it be looking for boSS?"
Lin Mo's head-on attack naturally fell on the ears of many players. He just watched the struggle between the two factions indifferently.
But judging from today’s starting lineup, the talented party headed by Rashford and Martial have the upper hand for the time being.
As a member of the club's team, Maguire was unexpectedly placed on the bench today. He was replaced by Swedish iceman Lindelof.
"Lin, there is no need for this. We should cheer for our teammates. Brighton barely managed to avoid relegation last season. Their task this season is also to avoid relegation. We can win!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo blushed a little, and the trace of luck in his heart disappeared.
Lukaku also scratched his face to show that he was blushing, otherwise it would be hard to tell.
But after a while, the guilt on Lin Mo's face disappeared and became extremely serious.
Lin Mo has been seeking his position in the team. In less than 2 months, he has integrated into the small circle of Matic and others.
He has put a lot of thought into his survival at Manchester United.
But now it seems that I have taken the wrong path.
The long-term pressure of survival made him almost forget that he was "picked up" in this life.
So much effort, so much hardship, and even not daring to fall in love are all for the so-called "repayment" and so-called survival in my heart.
Lin Mo, who was engraved in his heart by "survive", has always been afraid that it will all disappear.
But being cautious doesn’t win everything.
Just like today, Mourinho did not explain to him, but simply arranged for Martial and Lingard to start.
It seems to be a rotation, and it seems to be looking for some balance.
The so-called players, so-called disciples, and so-called direct descendants all have their own calculation methods in the hands of Mourinho.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo finally understood that "Only strength and achievements can win respect and survival!"
"The circle can only help you block part of the heavy rain, but it cannot let you To avoid getting wet."
In an instant, Lin Mo's eyes became sharp, and his whole temperament changed. Except for his still young face, he could no longer see the childishness of a boy.
After his brain wandered in a dream, Lin Mo's heart finally completed its transformation today.
"Harry, you are a real man!"
"Huh?" Maguire turned to look at Lin Mo in confusion.
"Oh, I mean, you're right, I really shouldn't be like this, we will definitely win!" Lin Mo said seriously.
Although Maguire didn’t quite understand what happened, in his opinion, Lin Mo was a little different.
Lukaku saw everything and continued to lower his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
But the expectations of several people did not bring any good results.
Manchester United, which conceded a goal first, gradually took control of the situation on the field, and its ball possession rate skyrocketed.
But Manchester United's ball play and offense began to become a little awkward!
Yes, awkward!
With the midfield controlled by Matic and Kanter, coupled with Maguire's long pass, Manchester United's offense appears to be very diverse.
But today, without Maguire’s long pass, the task of delivering the ball lies at the feet of Kanter and Matic.
The young McTominay appeared in the starting midfield position, replacing Mata.
Just look at the joyful atmosphere of the Seagulls to see how constipated Manchester United's offense is.
The 8th minute of the game.

Rashford picked up the ball with his back at the top of the penalty area, but lost it before he could regain his footing.
The appearance of falling to the ground and complaining left Manchester United fans speechless for a while.
Is this what they say is Manchester United’s first choice forward?
There was not even a bit of fierce confrontation between the two sides, and Rashford surrendered.
The 10th minute of the game.
Lingard tried to break through from the right several times but failed and could only choose to pass back.
But McTominay didn’t know what happened and handed the ball back.
Naturally, Lingard also handed the ball over.
After two failed breakthroughs, Mourinho anxiously said to Lingard on the sidelines: "Send the damn ball into the penalty area!"
A few minutes later , Martial made a breakthrough on the left and sent the ball to Rashford in the penalty area.
Next, the fans at Tongyun Community Stadium raised their heads to see if the football would hit the flying seagull.
Rashford seems not to kick the ball at all when someone is guarding him.
Another 2 minutes later
Lingard received a pass from Matic and got a quasi-one-on-one opportunity, but when faced with such a good opportunity, he actually succumbed.
Dunk, who was chasing after him, destroyed the ball with a flying tackle!
Manchester United players protested that this was a foul, but the referee had no comment.
Mourinho shook his hand angrily and spoke softly.
After ten minutes of continuous fierce attack, Manchester United could notSay nothing.
At least those few excellent opportunities still scared the opponent's goalkeeper into a cold sweat.
Manchester United's offense is constipated, but the Seagulls' offense is much more capable.
Since you have intercepting midfielders like Matic and Kanter, then play directly behind you.
Brighton coach Hughton’s tactics are very simple. When defending, the midfielder and backfield will play physical games with you!
When attacking, just look behind you!
Simple and clear!
The 22nd minute of the game.
Martial made a mistake in passing the ball in the frontcourt, and Brighton took the opportunity to make a beautiful counterattack.
Borja broke into the penalty area at high speed, but Lindelo couldn't see it and took a step directly.
"Beep——!"
The players on both sides of the bench stood up one after another, all looking towards the referee.
The referee raised his hand and it was a penalty kick!
Mourinho was angry on the spot, while Lin Mo and others looked disappointed.
This is the start of the game. It’s just that the offense is not going well, but it actually gives away points.
The penalty kick was set up and Borja took charge himself.
The football accurately hit the upper right corner of the goal, but De Gea couldn't make the save.
2 to 0
Lin Mo’s former teammate scored twice!
