1
Yes guys, this is Rio Reacts and we're back after a game for Manchester United versus Leeds at Ellen Road.
2
Always a tough, tough task.
3
That is a tough assignment.
4
I went back as an ex -Leeds player to Ellen Road and that was in May United.
5
We were at the peak of their power.
6
Tough game.
7
I think we got beat 1 -0, you know.
8
But what I remember about it is the atmosphere.
9
And I know today the Leeds fans, they're up for that game.
10
They can't wait for it.
11
It's the biggest game on the calendar and they would have made
12
that place a hostile environment
13
I spoke about it a couple of weeks ago on one of the shows we've done
14
and it was like that's one of the vivid memories
15
I have of going back to Old Trafford as a May United player is
16
that I went there as a West Ham player before that
17
and there wasn't the hostility that I received
18
and I felt I know it was obviously because I left Leeds
19
and went to May United
20
but just in general the the fire the venomous in the stadium for
21
that game especially at ellen road is is different to any other fixture
22
that i i've encountered when i was a
23
when i went as a as a a leeds player
24
and you and you see what it's like against man united
25
and and i've been there for west ham for other teams
26
and you think it's not the same
27
but the way the fans get up for it the hatred they have for manchester united especially is is crazy
28
so the players i knew it was gonna be a tough game but but i've got to be honest you
29
In the run that we're going for, where we've got the worst start to a Premier League,
30
and you go, where do you want to go and play a game to try and get out of that rut?
31
I want to go to a place where it's going to be tough.
32
I know it's hard, and the fans and everyone's going to be up for it, where the spotlight's going to be on.
33
So there's no hiding places.
34
They're the games you want immediately when you're having a bit of a bad spell.
35
because there's no there's no like oh we've got to try
36
and get ourselves up for this game
37
because sometimes listen I'm not making excuses for the players
38
but I'm saying
39
that it's the best teams can get up for every game to almost within like one
40
or two percent of every single game they're never too far off
41
it right they might have an off day here and there
42
but the teams that just fluctuate in the league
43
and can't find consistency the teams that
44
when it's a massive game against one of their rivals
45
or a local derby they can get up for it but
46
when it's against a team
47
that they should be it was lower down in the league
48
they don't a few percent off fight two three four five percent off even ten percent off
49
and they get beat that's the difference and but
50
when you go to these games
51
and it's a big game against one of your rivals local rivals
52
there is no room to just be off it
53
and they force you to be in a zone where focus is there at 100 % effort intensity is there
54
and I think that's what
55
Man United needed in this game
56
they needed to be to be focused by the opposition the enormity of the game the atmosphere
57
that was going to be in the stadium and I thought they didn't disappoint I thought
58
Man United stepped up to the to the assignment um yet couldn't keep a clean sheet
59
but that's been the story of the season and you look at the way that that he set up, Michael, was to be able to contain,
60
to be able to get into good shape without the ball
61
but to still be a threat when the ball does turn over
62
and we have the ball ourselves and Bruno playing almost like
63
you look to Bruno playing quite high and centrally as well and
64
I don't know
65
you look at Tielemans running out to the right -hand side a lot of the time running to the left
66
that little area in the midfield I thought was really, really good for Man Utd.
67
Not to let anything through the central areas.
68
Bruno, Tielemans, behind them was Santos and Balaba and you look at that and go, that was solid in there.
69
And not allowing big gaps and big, big holes on transitions was a key thing as well.
70
We'd seen that in a couple of games recently where that was worrying for me.
71
And still being able to be some sort of threat on the other way when we're going forward with Ibuma.
72
Ibuma missed a few chances.
73
That's been the story of the season, really.
74
I think we've been able to contain quite a lot of teams.
75
And then chances have come our way and we've not been able to capitalise.
76
And then you let teams back into it.
77
But again, another chance was created.
78
Tielemans, where you say, pushing out to that right -hand side at times, smashes the ball in.
79
Great ball.
80
And it's a great finish from Mbumo.
81
And it was a good...
82
I thought the first half was really good.
83
Really solid.
84
Really sound.
85
kept the opposition chances to a minimum
86
I thought Lenny Uro especially in the first half defending the back post was top draw
87
he looks like he's grinding confidence
88
I think Lenny Uro just needs a run in a team now I think he'll make
89
I don't know what position he'll make his own first
90
but he'll go I have to be in this team I think
91
if he just continues playing in the way that he is
92
and just continues to get games I don't care who gets back fit
93
now I think Lenny Uro just needs to stay in a
94
team prove his worth prove his value to this team because I think every week he's getting stronger now.
95
In Madrid, I thought he looked solid.
96
The game before that for France, he was outstanding at centre -back under Zidane.
97
And he's come back, I think, with a newfound confidence.
98
And I think that's good for Man United.
99
But the way he defended the crosses at the back post.
100
And again, them away games where you get crosses coming in the box and you're put under pressure,
101
you've got to have people that are willing to put their bodies there, get into good positions, head the ball,
102
etc. And I thought today it was a class act in that sense, especially.
103
But I said it, it's weird.
104
I'm in a WhatsApp group
105
and I said it just before probably two minutes before the goal was scored in the second half
106
we came out for the second half credit to Leeds
107
they came out they changed the speed of the game they upped the intensity
108
and I think the instructions from their manager was cross the ball keep crossing the ball
109
and you'll get chances
110
because that's what you see with Man United those things aren't going to change overnight you cross the ball against
111
Man United yeah they can defend them for a period of time but they're going to give you chances
112
and a corner comes in and we weren't good enough defending the corner
113
and Calvert -Lewin who's been very good for Leeds this year comes up with a great finish in that situation.
114
It's disappointing because all the hard work and the effort
115
that went in the first half undone immediately
116
and then it was a momentum shift in the game and it was Leeds United on the ascendancy then.
117
It looked like only one team was going to win.
118
We had to weather that storm but you have these moments in the game
119
and you've got to expect them moments at Ellen Road
120
that the other team are going to get the upper hand for a bit
121
and they're going to get the momentum shift
122
and they're going to get the positivity
123
and they're going to have balls raining down in your box and you've got to be able to defend it.
124
I thought Harry Maguire headed loads out, done well.
125
Masraoui, when he came in, I thought was very good.
126
Dallow as well.
127
The whole back four, to go to Ellen Road and get a point and even a win, you've got to defend well.
128
You've got to play well as a back four.
129
And I thought we did.
130
I think there's Santos.
131
I think he's been interesting for me.
132
I think he's obviously, his name's called out a lot, 50 odd million pounds for him.
133
And a lot of people go, ah, it's a waste of money.
134
But you see, Mainu's injured.
135
Mason Mount's coming back from injury you need more bodies in there you do need bodies
136
and you need someone who can come in there and give you a 7 out of 10
137
I think Santos just goes under the radar a little bit people can try
138
and pick you don't go in there
139
and go oh he's glaringly really bad at anything I don't think you can I think some people try
140
and nitpick at him and you go you know he's a solid player
141
I think he's one of those guys who just gives you a 7 out of 10 most weeks
142
7 out of 10
143
some weeks he might go up a little bit he might be a little bit below maybe
144
but he ain't going to be far off that
145
And you need a load of those guys in a team.
146
Again, today, wins it, breaks the lines a lot of the time, tries to play forward, tries to be progressive with his passing.
147
I think he's just very solid.
148
I think, again, if the game opens up physically in big spaces, he could be exploited.
149
But as long as the team stays compact, like they did today for large parts, he can look very sound in them, be very effective.
150
But that's the way you answer a week of pure pressure and spotlight on your team, I think.
151
Now, you would have liked to have got a win.
152
A clean sheet would have been even better.
153
But to go to Ellen Road, where it's harsh, it's hostile in there, and to withstand the pressure that came today, in the second half especially,
154
when the spotlight's on you and the pressure's on and everyone's expecting you to capitulate, I think Michael Carrick will be pleased with that.
155
I think he'll be going around at Changer after the game, high -fiving the whole squad, going, you know what, that's resilience,
156
that's a bit of character.
157
We need more of that.
158
I want to see more.
159
I was surprised he didn't bring on Rashford.
160
Maybe he might be carrying a little injury, but I was surprised Rashford didn't come on because that bit of pace,
161
I think, alongside Cunha in the second half would have made Leeds go on the back foot maybe a little bit,
162
but we managed to still keep the point.
163
But it is a difficult game.
164
And I think I was listening to the commentary and I heard Gary Neville talking about, oh, maybe the Martínez comments,
165
what he was alluding to was, look at the back four.
166
There's no, none of these players are playing in their right -ball positions other than Harry Maguire.
167
But I don't necessarily agree with that.
168
I agree that none of the players are playing in their positions,
169
but who could have predicted or preempted that both your left -backs are out,
170
Dorgu and Shaw, and you're looking at Harry Ramas on the bench on that side, and you've got an injured,
171
come out from injury, Masrawi you've got your centre -back Yoro playing right back you've got Aidan Heaven out injured
172
De Ligt out injured and you've got Martínez then he picks up an injury in the game
173
like no one could have pre -empted that that's just bad luck you know what I mean
174
and you know we're going to get into
175
that tomorrow I'm going to talk to you about the squad
176
and the window and stuff and just I'm going to strip it right back
177
and have a real good look at it
178
because I think it's important to get a bit of context
179
and just look at the actual way that the window went for us
180
and why and just start asking
181
and pick it here just have a little pick it
182
and just go through
183
because I think there's a lot of people saying oh we should have done this you should have done
184
that why didn't we do this and I don't think looking at the big picture
185
and there's a bit of context that goes towards it
186
so I'm gonna have a little go so keep your eyes peeled for tomorrow on the show
187
Rio presents because I'm going to get into that but I think Carrick Shifting a few of the players round.
188
I think Tielemans and Bruno in the positions that they played, I think today was a good choice.
189
I think especially Tielemans.
190
I thought he put in a great shift.
191
I thought his work ethic, his work rate was great in that area.
192
Just in front of Balaba and Santos.
193
I thought Santos was solid.
194
No frills.
195
Done the job.
196
Just done.
197
It was nice and quiet and effective in there.
198
Balaba's still growing into it.
199
Do you know who I do really like?
200
I love Ahmad.
201
I love his work ethic.
202
He's grit.
203
But then when you get in and around the opponent's box,
204
he's got that little bit of imagination and that little bit of like where you go, I don't know what he's going to do next.
205
And decision -making today wasn't perfect.
206
It wasn't, but that'll come with more games,
207
I think, and a bit of confidence within the team when this team starts getting a bit of confidence and momentum.
208
Especially if you get the opponent's team in and around their box, pen back.
209
That's when he becomes a frightening player who the fullbacks, I think, feel fear because he can go outside or inside
210
and if he gets too much space can score a good goal so
211
yeah I'm enjoying seeing Ahmad back in the team
212
but we've got one thing I've got to say
213
if I've got anything to nitpick at today
214
and I come out of this game
215
and go you know what you set your stool out
216
now you set the bar your first 45 minutes work ethic
217
that is the standard and we've got to aim to get to
218
and beyond we can't go anything below that
219
because to look at anything like a half decent team
220
I don't care how you play with the ball it's how you work without the ball
221
especially and then when you're on it then you work again in a different way
222
but there needs to be an intensity an aggression a desire in the way
223
you play football especially without it it's going to give you an opportunity to try
224
and win a football match and you know what as well to add to
225
that we've got to become more clinical at finishing our chances
226
and bremo today yes gets the goal
227
but could have had a couple more kunya
228
when he comes on i want to see more opportunities to take chances
229
i want to see amad to be more more clinical obviously bruno
230
you want to get more clinical again this season after what he's done in previous seasons.
231
That's put to bed now, let's go again this season.
232
So we need that clinical spirit within the team, that decisiveness to come back into this team.
233
Because if we do that, we're getting chances.
234
We saw it again in midweek, we had chances against Atletico.
235
We just aren't clinical enough right now.
236
And at the top level, don't care who you are, you don't finish your chances,
237
you always leave yourself open to get opened up and hurt yourself
238
and concede chances and goals and we've been punished far too many times this season.
239
But the first half today that's what I'll leave this game with.
240
The first half gave us an insight into where our level should be in terms of working
241
and an intensity and a desire off the ball especially to work hard for each other
242
and to make the other team have to work a hell
243
of a lot harder than they have been to score goals and get chances against us.
244
So Michael Carrick will be pleasantly I think Michael Carrick will be pleased
245
not overjoyed not going crazy that's not the type of person he is but I think he'd be pleasantly
246
not surprised but pleased with the way
247
that they came out today after a really really pressurised week with a lot of spotlight on this squad
248
and they put in a workman -like performance that I think especially in the first half they could be proud of
249
and it's a start I think it's a starting block to really start building some foundations for this season
250
so let's go but I have to say as well
251
It's now the worst start in terms of points since 1986, which isn't nice to read.
252
And it's worrying, it's concerning.
253
But again, I'd like to think that the first half,
254
especially today, will be a step in the right direction to kind of get away from that.
255
We started poorly last season.
256
It's become a bit of a common theme.
257
We started poorly last season and look how it finished.
258
Let's hope we've got that little kick on this season to change things around.
259
And you've got to stay with someone like Michael.
260
Give him the time.
261
Let him go out there let him turn this around.
262
It's the first bump in his managerial career at Manchester United.
263
You can't just turn someone's lights off at the first sign of trouble.
264
Give them the chance to change the fortunes of the club.
265
That's Rio Reacts, guys.
266
See you on Monday.
267
Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
