Ten Haah's "brilliant step" led to Bruno's "brilliant performance": "Come back to your smile" - voila! sport

Summary: Manchester United - Betis 1:4 (Sport1)

Erik ten Haah is considered one of the most brilliant coaches in world football, and perhaps Manchester United's game yesterday (Thursday) against Betis illustrated why.

After the humiliating and historic 7:0 that United suffered against Liverpool, in England they expected the brother devil to make many changes in the lineup, and make the stars pay a price for the fallen game.

But the coach did the complete opposite: he bet on the same 11 that were defeated earlier this week, and it turned out to be a "brilliant move", as it was defined in the English media.

United recovered from the blow with an impressive 1:4, which almost finally guaranteed a place in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, and ended days of tension and bitterness with a slightly sweeter feeling.

The first to recover was Bruno Fernandes, who came under fire after Liverpool.

The captain scored in the 58th minute and looked involved and active.

At the end, the brother praised him.

"Bruno gave a brilliant performance tonight," said the coach.

"He led the coach from the first minute, cooked and cooked. I am happy for him, because this game proves what character he has."

Even the commentators who crucified Fernandes this week, returned to praise him.

"He was the beating heart of United tonight. Every good move that happened, he was involved. His smile on the pitch is back," said Owen Hargreaves.

He smiled again.

United also feared a hostile reception from the team's fans after the historic humiliation, but the crowd supported the team and pushed them, and especially enjoyed when Voet and Horst scored the fourth goal, celebrating a debut goal in a United uniform.

The Dutch striker, who joined the team on loan, broke a streak of 11 games without a goal, and was well received by the fans who show him a lot of love even though he is expected to leave the team at the end of the season.

And Horst was even seen crying with joy after scoring, and was also in tears at the end when the United fans sang in his honor.

"He was close to scoring so many times since he arrived, he created so many moves for other players as well. He finally deserves to score," said Ten Haah.
