Fulham coach: I can t understand that Manchester United s goal was not blown away, I hope the penalty criteria will be consistent
In the second round of the Premier League, Fulham drew 1-1 with Manchester United at home. After the game, Fulham coach Marco Silva talked about the team's performance with Sky Sports and BBC, and expressed dissatisfaction with the game's penalty.
Talk the game
"The players' commitment, attitude, will and desire to the game plan, and the players who came on the bench all played a key role. In the first 15 minutes, we almost lost all the confrontations. The opponents created some good scoring opportunities through Cunya, and we also got a very good opportunity through Joshua King. They created a threat in the set piece and scored a goal, but our players responded very well. Although there was a clear foul, the players responded very well. I am proud of the fans, who have always supported us. It is very important to start the new season at home, and we are facing a strong opponent."
Talks VAR did not blow away Manchester United's goal
"I can't understand, I'm willing to explain everything to you from scratch, but it's not my duty, I don't want to discuss in this direction, the whole world sees what's going on."
Talking about the roster and signings
"We have a very good team, they are willing to give everything for the team, and have a positive mentality. Always eager to learn. They are all the way as always, they love the club. As a club, we need help, the players and I need help, new signings to give us different conditions and more options. New players performed very well, last week, and last season. Wilson performed well in the pre-season and had a huge impact after coming on as a substitute. Smith Ronaldo is very important to us, he can score goals and be in the right position. Of course, I praise our players, but we are understaffed in many positions. I said before the game that our original plan was not achieved, and we still have a lot of Things have to be done, the players need internal competition. "
Talk about the game again
"Manchester United performed better than us at the start, they had the advantage in the first 20 minutes, and we were at a disadvantage in most 55-5 matches, which led to us always being half a beat slow when dealing with the ball. We spent a long time adapting to the game, making reactions and making the right decisions, so we had the opponent playing the game the way they like. After that we gradually got into the form and started being able to pass the ball to find our three midfielders and get the advantage, and since then the game became more balanced. "
" We performed better in the second half, and even though they scored the goal when we were the best, the players were very good in the reaction, calmness and mentality. The players who came on the bench had a huge impact, and after 1-1, we were more proactive and they could only enter us through set pieces . In addition, we created a good opportunity again, but we need to be more decisive and ruthless. In this link, we did not show the best performance. Last season, our substitute contributed 17 goals, which I think is undoubtedly the best in the Premier League. It is no accident. "
Negotiation penalty
"I wanted to explain all the VAR decisions in this game, but I couldn't do it because there are differences in these decisions in many ways. They are all fouls. Look at Luke Shaw vs. Munis and Bassie vs. Mount, the result is really unbelievable. As for Manchester United's goals, I think what I saw is also what audiences around the world saw. One player pushed another player in order to compete for the top. If the rules are followed, you know what will happen. I hope this type of penalty can be consistent, that's that simple. "
Are you satisfied with getting a point?
"I'm happy with the team's reaction, I'm happy with the resilience we showed in the second half, especially after that goal that should have been invalid."
