Mourinho patted Matic on the shoulder, said a few words of relief and then began to make substitution adjustments.
Contrary to what everyone expected, Mourinho did not strengthen defense in this substitution.
Instead, a mad dog was sent!
"Scott!"
McTominay, who was warming up in the distance, seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He quickly took off his jersey and came to Mourinho's side. .
"boSS, I'm here." As he said that, McTominay stared at the court fiercely, as if waiting for Mourinho's order, he immediately went to kill the guy.
"Well, go up and replace Fellaini. You play in the midfield. You don't have to be aggressive in attack, but don't be merciful in defense. There isn't much time left, mess up the midfield!"
p>
Listening to Mourinho's words, McTominay became more and more excited.
After taking the initiative to make substitutions, the competition on the court became more and more intense. McTominay did not consider anything else at all and just followed Mourinho's instructions.
After two tackles, he received a yellow card.
But the opponent's offensive seemed to be stalled because of this.
Mourinho then replaced the exhausted Valencia and replaced him with Luke Shaw.
Rarely, Mourinho did not replace the forward with a defender at the last minute.
This makes Watford always worry about whether the frontcourt players will launch a quick counterattack when attacking, and several defenders have never dared to press too hard.
In fact, Mourinho is also very helpless. In three days, he will go to Switzerland to play a Champions League match with Young Boys of Bern of the Swiss Super League.
Two days later
That is, on September 22, we will face the mid-to-upper-tier Wolves.
There is also a UEFA Cup match on September 26. Although the opponent is Derby County, the time is too tight.
September 29th is an away game against the Hammers West Ham United.
The Champions League home game against Valencia on October 3.
Hosted against Newcastle United on October 7th.
From September 16th to October 7th, 7 games will be played in just 21 days!
Matic's red card will definitely affect the team's rotation. Except for the goalkeeper, most players will not be able to complete these 7 consecutive games.
In case of some injuries, it is likely to affect the team's performance.
Until today, Dalot barely returned from injury. Even so, Mourinho did not dare to let him play.
Fortunately, only one of the two Champions League games has to go to Switzerland. Otherwise, this devilish schedule will be the source of large-scale injuries.
But there is something evil about this game.
The 85th minute of the game.
Seeing that Manchester United is about to win this game, the start went smoothly, and the processTough game.
Watford seemed a little angry, and they committed several fierce fouls in a row, seemingly in retaliation for McTominay's fierce fighting.
Lin Mo and McTominay were knocked down one after another.
A conflict broke out instantly between players from both sides, and Lin Mo, who was lying on the ground, saw his teammates rushing over, and endured the pain of his knee impact and stepped forward.
But there was one person who did not stand up.
Mourinho also discovered a problem on the sidelines. While angrily scolding Watford for their rough actions, he asked the team doctor to enter the field.
A few minutes later, an interesting scene came.
Watford and Manchester United were each sent off one man, and Professor Yang walked off the field cursing.
Wheat was injured and was carried off on a stretcher.
The atmosphere on the court had reached its peak. Mourinho angrily shouted on the sidelines: "Why wasn't the person who committed the foul sent off? Are you blind?"
"See the stretcher?" No, you are committing murder!"
Soon, the referee rushed towards Mourinho, seeming to feel that it was too much pressure to send off another person, so he did not send Mourinho off directly.
In one game, two Manchester United players were sent off, one was injured and could not be replaced, and then the head coach was sent off.
The pressure of public opinion alone is not something he can bear.

The referee Mike Dean chose to show a yellow card, and Mourinho then walked back to his position.
But the home fans were very dissatisfied. They wished that the referee would send Mourinho off.
With 3 less players, Manchester United can only recover across the board.
They only had 8 players on the court, while their opponents had 10.
At this time, Lin Mo suddenly shouted to Martial: "Anthony, come back and defend, we need you!"
The confused Martial turned his head and saw Lin Mo. Mo waved to him with sincere eyes.
At this time, the team needs everyone to participate in defense. Winning the game is more important than anything else!
Martial's heart is particularly complicated. Ever since his mistake, he has been giving up on himself.
The conflict between his two girlfriends, physical fatigue, and the internal friction of the team all left him with no motivation to play football.
But now, Lin Mo's "We need you" made him feel needed for the first time.
Martial completely calmed down and returned to the penalty area. He stood at the front of the team, slowly lowered his center of gravity, and stared at the opponent in front of him.
"A little to the left, I'm behind you on the right!"
These words were spoken by French compatriot Kante, who had a feeling of reintegrating into the team.
Very good, really good.
Lin MoyuRashford also basically returned to his defensive line.
No fans will blame Manchester United for being defensive at this time. All their anger is focused on the referee.
The 88th minute of the game.
Will Hughes attacked from outside the penalty area, but his long shot was blocked by Kanter with his body.
Roberto Pereira followed up with another kick, but this time it was Martial who blocked it.
The 90th minute of the game.
Watford continuously played high-altitude balls, and Lin Mo returned to the penalty area in time, relying on his height... to cover the movements of his hands.
His jumping is really bad, but his body position has been trained very well by Maldini.
In several consecutive passes, he also blocked Capoue once.
The 93rd minute of the game.
Watford suddenly received a ground ball, and there was chaos in the penalty area.
In the melee, I don’t know who stabbed the football.
Just as the football flew towards the goal, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared and lifted the ball out.
"Pian Lird Gea!"
Almost all the commentary at this time only had this sentence.
De Gea, who has first-class goal-line skills and reactions, is Manchester United's last barrier.
At this point, Watford lost the best chance of this game.
Faced with Manchester United's comprehensive low defense and giving up offense, Watford failed to score a goal until the end of the game.
When the referee's whistle blew, Mourinho shook hands with Javi Gracia with a gloomy face, and came directly to the sideline without waiting for the other party to speak.
One by one, they comforted the players who walked off the court. They had sacrificed too much for a victory.
When it was Martial's turn, Mourinho pulled him:
"Kid, it's normal to make mistakes in the game. Your final defense was great." < /p>
This sentence of encouragement almost stopped Martial, as if Mourinho who asked him what champion he was at the training ground the day before yesterday was not the same person standing in front of him.
"Thank you, boSS."
Martial walked into the tunnel with a calm expression, but his heart was already in chaos.
