Erik ten Hag mightn’t contain his emotions and threw an obscenity on air to praise the Manchester United players’ performance once morest Liverpool.
Manchester United coach Eric Ten Hag praised his players’ performance following beating Liverpool 2-1 in the third round of the 2022-23 Premier League season, which was held at Old Trafford.
Tin Hag, while praising the performance of his players, forgot that he was in an interview on the air, and took out an obscene word to express his happiness with what the Manchester United stars presented.
Manchester United, following losing the first two games of the season, had the mental strength needed to beat Liverpool with a more than impressive performance, in a match that saw the duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire on the bench.
Jadon Sancho scored the first goal for the “Red Devils” in the 16th minute, before Marcus Rashford added the second goal in the 52nd minute, while the Egyptian Mohamed Salah reduced the score for Liverpool in the 81st minute of the match.
During an interview with the English network “Sky Sports”, Tin Hag might not contain his feelings, and threw an obscenity on the air.
“We can talk regarding tactics but it’s all regarding the reaction, there was communication and fighting spirit, damn they can play very good football,” said Ten Hag.
And when the English channel published Tin Hag’s statements on social media, it withheld the word the Dutch coach had said, so as not to spread widely.
“I wanted to see a different performance from the players, and that made me feel good. We have very good players, but if the whole team is good, we will succeed.”
And he added: “I told the players that they have to act and be a team, and to have the courage to give each other options on the field.”
“I was happy with what they did, but they have to do the same in every game, it’s all regarding the spirit,” Tin Hag concluded.
