Manchester United once again disappointed fans when losing to Brighton 1-2, thereby pushing themselves into a disadvantageous position in the race to win a Champions League spot next season.
After the match, in the final interview, interim coach Darren Fletcher spoke frankly, emphasizing the responsibility and role of the players in improving the current situation of the team.
According to Fletcher, not only the coaching staff but also the players need to "step up", show leadership roles and cohesion in the squad. He believes that MU has enough experience, quality and leadership factors to overcome the current difficult period.
Darren Fletcher frankly pointed out the psychological problem of the team, especially how MU reacts after goals conceded. He emphasized that learning to face disadvantages, times of being led or losing the game is key if MU wants to achieve big goals.
Sometimes victory does not come from beautiful play, especially when confidence is low. In some matches you are forced to fight, to try harder than usual to get results," Fletcher shared.
According to coach Fletcher, MU needs to know determination, work harder and most importantly, be united as a team. From that cohesion, the team can gradually rebuild confidence, improve performance and create momentum for the road ahead.
Fletcher believes that when MU overcomes difficult matches with fighting spirit and discipline, the team will gradually regain the necessary form and stability.
Although the defeat to Brighton was a regrettable stumble, Darren Fletcher affirmed that the race for a Champions League spot is still ahead. He expressed his hope that MU will learn a lesson from unsatisfactory results to return stronger.
We need to turn difficulties into motivation. Once we have rebuilt confidence and psychological momentum, positive results will come," Fletcher emphasized.
