Comment on MU vs Real Betis: Kneeling red falters
MU closed the first 2 months of 2023 with impressive performance and maintained the hope of winning the championship in all 4 participating arenas: the English Premier League, the English League Cup, the FA cup and the European C2 Cup. In fact, they got their first title of the season with defeating Newcastle in the English league final.
However, the excitement of coach Ten Hag's teachers and students was suddenly splashed with cold water. Accordingly, the Red Devils of Macheste had a 0-7 loss to their great rival Liverpool in the 26th round of the Premier League that took place a few days ago. With the heaviest defeat in the team's history, the Red Devils have returned to the ground and there are still many things to improve in front of them, especially the mentality of the game.
After nearly a week of rest after a bitter defeat against Liverpool, Rashford and his teammates returned to Old Trafford to welcome Real Betis in the 1/8 round of the European Cup. In the current context, it is clear that MU is not a reliable choice.
On the other side of the field, the representative of Spain has a completely opposite performance when unbeaten in the last 4 matches. In detail, they won up to 3 and only to divide points 1 match against the big man Real Madrid in the match a few days ago. If maintaining the right form, Real Betis is confident to take points from MU's psychological crisis.
