In the 3rd round of the English Premier League (EPL), Manchester United suffered a heartbreaking loss at home, defeating Liverpool 0-3 in the match on September 2, Beijing time. After the match, the famous soccer commentator Keane made a profound comment on the game in the program of Sky Sports, saying that the performance of Manchester United was shocking and the game lost suspense in just one hour.
Keane firstly pointed out that the statistics cannot fully reflect the real situation on the field. In this game, Liverpool showed great efficiency and excellent performance, compared to Manchester United, who looked much inferior. He emphasized that Liverpool not only looked stronger and more energetic, but also threatened the United goal almost every time in the offensive end.
Keane was harshly critical of United's performance, which he found absolutely shocking. Especially Casemiro, an experienced player in the team, who made several mistakes in a row during the game, causing serious damage to the team. According to Keane, such a performance is hard to accept, especially considering all the expectations and preparations that United had before the new season.
In addition, Keane also mentioned some of United's recent activities in terms of PR and publicity, such as the new stadium plan. He believed that these activities did not bring any help to Manchester United in today's match, but rather made the fans more disappointed with the team's performance. He bluntly said that a game like today's had lost its suspense after one hour, which is very hard to accept for Manchester United.
