In addition to being dissatisfied with the performance of his charges after losing revenge with AS Roma 2: 3, he was even more angry at the officials who took care of the fixture list. The “Red Devils” have to play the next four Premier League games in ten days and six duels in 18 days by the end of the season.
“It’s physically impossible,” said the Norwegian helmsman for BT Sport. Manchester will perform at Aston Villa on Saturday, play Leicester two days later, and Liverpool will welcome two more. After a four-day break, he plays with Fulham, then travels to Wolverhampton and on May 26 awaits the EL final in Gdansk with Villarreal, who advanced through Arsenal after a home win 2: 1 and a 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
“It’s unheard of. These schedules are made by people who have never played football at this level. It’s physically impossible for players. It’s not fair. We’ll need every single player for the next four matches. It’s in a very fast sequence and we have to be ready, “ hromžil Solskjaer.
Manchester advanced to the EL final thanks to a high triumph in the opening match, in which he defeated the Romans at Old Trafford 6: 2. In retaliation for Stadio Olimpico, the English team took the lead in the 39th minute after an intervention by Edinson Cavani, who pulled the ball to the penalty area from Fred and pushed the net with a hard shot to the post. A quarter of an hour after the break, the home team managed to turn the score thanks to the precise interventions of Edin Džek and Bryan Cristante, which poured new energy into the home team and bit even more into the opponent. Eight minutes later, Cavani equalized again, but in the 83rd minute, Alex Telles scored his own goal and AS scored United’s scalp.

According to Solskjaer, his charges did not perform as well as he expected, and even though the “red devils” retaliated with a comfortable four-goal “pillow”, they unnecessarily gave the opponent hope to dramatize the semifinals. He played soulfully and without losing his chances, he could have fought for an even better result. “We are in the finals, but the second half of the revenge was a big disappointment, it was very, very bad. We played one very good half in the first match at Old Trafford, thanks to which we advanced. I am disappointed that we lost in Rome, especially after that performance as we demonstrated in the second act, “ he took his charges.
He was at least pleased with the performance of goalkeeper David de Geu, who scored nine successful interventions. “The semifinals could have ended 8: 6 for Rome. It was a strange retaliation, we kept giving them the ball, but luckily we have one of the best goalkeepers in the world. We are in the final and we are looking forward to May 26,” dodal Solskjaer.
The Romans developed a number of pure chances and even though they had a big shortage from the opening match, they did not give up and fought to the end. The reward was the victory at the end of a successful season in the second most important European competition. “It was important for us to leave with our heads held high and play a good match. We deserved this victory, we had a great European League this year and it was good to finish it that way.” AFP quoted midfielder Cristante.
The UEFA 2020/2021 European League final is scheduled for May 26 in Gdansk. United already have a triumph in the European Cup number two from 2017, when they defeated Ajax Amsterdam 2: 0. This will be the final premiere in the competition for Villarreal.
