the commentary box, thanks to Joe and to Stephen great victory
that for Manchester United first place for Everton
since August, the 13th button, that man, the manner you have
to say, relatively speaking. We've not spoken about too much
over the last few weeks. Don't speak about him at your peril.
That's for certain
I thought the manager Eric 10 Hogg said this performance
really in a different League. You have to say back inside
the studio, the Sunday afternoon, I'm Rebecca Lowe. Rafael Tim
Howard. Tim, I'll start with you really. After
the performance against City, they had no choice. I had to win
today.
They had to win today, and I think
I'm a nasty day. It could have some with the rain pouring
down. He got,
he got some answers anyway, about the character of his team
because they were, they were up against it for large parts. Of
the end of that game and they stood tall, they stood firm,
they got the result in the end, but yeah.
They had to have played better than last week for sure. I know
it's a very different quite difficult question, but he was
forced into making the change to bring Ronaldo on for Marcy
out. Did you get the sense though? United was starting to
get more dominant
even before and out. Okay, Mom,
well the the position was dominant, they weren't very
Dynamic that would be the kind of plotted through
the Midfield. They weren't playing through lines.
Reynaldo brings
an air of directors because he wants the boys always running
for and that's what they lacked before we came on your thoughts
on. Ya is an energy they
Although that becomes infectious to the team about.
He passes it, quickly moves in you, you almost stunned into
passengers quickly. I thought that was a really good
performance by 90 today. Tim said,
rainy day Everton goodison Park you down. One nil after five
minutes. Now, you're in a test, I thought they roll the sleeves
up. I thought they worked hard. I thought there was some really
good performances and not necessarily all about talent,
but Antony who's got the goals but also work particularly
hard. I thought Erickson
put a good shift in casimiro, got better as the game went on
and in manal, do they? They had the quality at the top end of
the picture Everton were lacking 700 goals. I mean, it's
incredible, 700 goals. I mean,
how
absolutely incredible how much for Everton is a step back.
I don't think so. I think they were in the game for large
parts of it.
They're missing Dominic cover lower, they got him back, Amo
pay. You know, Robin are discussing
is non-existent, he was on his own
Dominic, government can play on his own, even when they don't
have a lot of the ball, he can be the focal point. They've
been missing that he's back. That's a bright. Two, final
score at goodison Park, Everton won, Manchester United to
United coming from behind to take all three points
and they move into the top. Five delighted. Now
to be joined on gold Zone by Manchester United's Captain,
Bruno, Fernandez, live from the tunnel at goodison Park. Brenda
thank you so much for joining us and talking to
the Manchester United supporters across the United States.
My first question, I'm here alongside Tim Howard and Robbie
old who have a question for you. My first question is, what
were you as a team most pleased about
with that performance today?
Day.
Obviously, the three-point it's was, was really important. We
knew that was tough to play here.
Obviously I think in the last 20, 50 minutes. We could we
could have played a little bit more but obviously
good pressure from Everton.
They play. They play really healthy
really, really intense. They put another strike in.
So
was was tough the last 20 years? But I think overall was
was a good performance because the spirit was there,
the togetherness and
and that is the most important than
I think obviously three points, massive three points for us in
sand, back on the winning track.
Bruno. Hi Tim Howard here, you talked about that last 20
minutes. You had to be resilient, you have to have
togetherness. How important is that? Yes, the three points is
important. How important is that team togetherness and
seeing out results like that?
Alrighty, so it's really important, as I said,
we I think when we, when we get that
four wins in a row
was because the togetherness, the passion, the desired,
everything was together and and at the end, we get that four
wins in a row. I think we knew it, that was about getting back
on that to getting back Tan on the basics
to win the games. And as you said in the last 20 minutes,
I think you could see it more because we had more time
defending more time. Tackling more time being together to
help each other. And
that's what was the main point to win. The three points today,
you know what we are here and
you work with Cristiano, Ronaldo internationally, and at
Club level, he got 700 career Club goals just gives
an Insight what it's like working with this guy day today.
So
I think it's
it's quite strange skip counting the goals that were
Senators because it's that so many goals. I think, at some
point, some points people should stop counting the goals
that he does because he's not fair for the others.
But obviously is
it is being. He's being
obvious, everyone knows that you're being difficult for him
and not being playing regularly,
but whenever he's playing his, he's doing his best. He's
trying to score goals. As is a matter of time. We knew it that
he's capable to score. So
today, you did it. Help us to win the doing the game. And
that is the most important. I think everyone is happy for
that. That
obviously for him, get get the first goal in the league,
will give him some confidence. And,
and and we need, we need him with confidence because we know
the kind of player is what you can give us to us.
And it is this, you can give us goals, you can, it can, it can
had
so many so many good things for the team
that the most important, I think together with that as is
that Christian wants to win. So he wants to win the team wants
to win and and together we will be stronger. That's for sure.
Bruno, just one. Final question and thank you for your time. We
know that your manager Eric 10 hog wants to play in a very
specific way. How far away do you think Manchester United are
from where he wants you to be?
That future will say, because
I think today was
a good show. That what what do you want,
obviously, on the ball of the world
as I said before on the last 20 minutes of the ball,
even even a little bit more. Even if we didn't press that high,
that is what we want. We had always press on the ball and
that is really important.
So I think
the future will say because we are the ones that have to carry
on on the pitch. What? What he asked us every at what he
demands from us.
So it's about now get the momentum and and carry on
Bruno. We really appreciate your time. Thank you so much
for joining us here on NBC Sports.
Thank you very much.
Thank you
time now for our Premier League update here in the studio.
After a very busy Sunday, indeed, Rebecca Lowe Rafael Tim
Howard. Where shall We Begin? We're going to begin with
the game at goodison Park, Everton and losing, by 2 V, 1 to
Manchester United, despite Raphael
going ahead. Yeah, got off to a great start. First five minutes
in the game, they win a ball in Midfield, and then I'll
forward. The ball is going to find its way to a lecture will
be used improperly. Everything's most consistent
form of this season and it
gets you first. Go
without bending shot and you can see here that customer gets
caught banana as a ball. That's played forward,
he's lots of work for well be to do
defend this in front of him, a good goalkeeper to beat but he
does that with some style. This was custom mirror of just
getting used to life in the family by tackles come flying
in, he loses possession
and see you know to lose the goal
is manager, not typically enamored with that
and then they get a chance
to get back into the game and it's
Antony you create a bit of Club history for Manchester United.
He's the first man society player to get three goals in
his first three Premier League appearances and
think of the names and the quality that's been at
Manchester United at some record and this is some
finished by a man. I thought play particularly well with and
without the ball today and you've managed it celebrates
United get level in the game
29 minutes on the clock and telling myself back into
the side, has to go off Christian. No, venado came on
after waiting to hear what happened to Marshall?
42 minutes on the clock chance for casimiro. That goes a wide
and then 1044 minutes just before the break, it was
casimiro feedings all teammate from Real Madrid. Ronaldo.
Yeah. How often have we seen this down here? Is Reynaldo
down the side
and this passes,
the go ahead goal for Manchester. Now, this is really
really good from cats real good weight on the ball
and ranaldo these b****** just hits through. It gets a 700
career Club goal. It's a big moment for him and big moment
for his manager 10 Hagen. This is just Want stuff for not
again involved.
Good leap,
rash. For Chase, has his
own header gunshot coughs. You should come and take
everything. He doesn't actually gets a little bit lucky there
and Taps it in toward he thinks makes it three. No, but
referee threw one David David Coon. She's a handful here and
lost a player
can't score immediately after the ball is touched his hand
even if it's accidental. In that case, it was accidental,
but
the goal was disallowed and then big intervention here.
I'm done with the hey, this is a
this is an absolute stone wall gold
corner with a really good ball in are not just coming at
the back post, that's equalizer there.
If the hey it doesn't get a touch to it
little nervy at the end of the United. But they hold on to all
three points are it, should it a few nervous moments at
the end there but overall that must be a very satisfying
performance.
We are like, quickly 10 down,
but
the reaction of the team is good and also respond of our
aims
to deal. Edit better with setbacks
and noticed a composed
came into game,
play out of a good formation. I think first 35 minutes were
quite impressive. I was from outside, the
complaint they were too static in recent games and you did you
see
an advance their did you see better pressing from the side
as well?
I think especially the first half was depressing, well
and everything didn't came out and it was difficult for them
to come in the game. And the game is
Is to get switches and get a lot of cross section and we
didn't allow them so happy with that. You mentioned the early
go for everything.
I think as Casimir I was introduced to how quickly
tackles flying in this kind of game.
Yeah but I think
he evil and dissipate quickly and you sought out during
the game how important he is
he's that compost
winning a lot of balls
winning also the ball
and the goal from Cristiano Ronaldo
so he grew into the game. So Good performance. Yeah,
the problem
was the marshalling to use the
recurrence of these previous.
No, I don't think so.
It's a different
problem in his back
a bit. He was important
assist, the goal with Anthony, so happy with that.
And once again, we also happy with
all the ships are coming on and Cristiano
making the winning goal.
Clear, but also Scott Rafa was in the end,
you mentioned is on
for difficulty. Duration and you see how important enough is
there with this organization? And it's heading capacity.
Yeah. GG. Generally managed
the second half until that flurry at the end.
Yeah Vulcan always come in.
We should have score already and I think it was a goal
then was the game over
but we had many more
spaces. We didn't use
in the counter-attacking
transition so the idea is the next step we have to make but
I think happy The result of course. But
for a lot of periods also happy with the performance.
I mention the 700 goals it here about it tomorrow, no doubt
across. All the newspapers. This is how it breaks down. 454
Ronaldo, Real Madrid, 144 for United and two spells 101. For
the event is just the five pretty bad. Be fair, a Sporting
Lisbon 712.
