Anger, dialogue and psychologist for United before Betis

Manchester United are preparing for the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 against Betis at Old Trafford and are doing so after Erik ten Hag’s rage at his players after 7-0 conceded against Liverpool at Anfield continued on Monday in a meeting that took place at the Carrington facility. Ten Hag told his players to have more sessions with sports psychologist Rainier Koers, who visits Carrington several times a week.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Ten Hag showed his squad videos of Manchester United’s worst defeat against their great rivals, Liverpool, focusing on the second-half debacle, in which Old Trafford scored 6 goals . And, according to the Mirror, Ten Hag allowed his players to give their perspective. On Sunday the Dutch coach did not allow it.

});

Ten Hag also told his squad that “what happened against Liverpool should not destroy the good work we have done this season.” Ten Hag’s United are already ahead after other defeats (4-0 against Brentford and 6-3 in the derby against Manchester City), although they are clearly not like the shame of Anfield.

After a 4-0 defeat against Brentford, the next day Ten Hag made his players run 13.8 kilometers. This time the Dutch coach chose to focus in examining mental aspects when there are bad results.

After the game and in the hours that followed, only two United players wrote on their social networks: David de Gea and Marcus Rashford. De Gea referred to the “responsibility we have to represent this club, but there are more games to focus on coming up quickly.” The first, the first leg of the round of 16 against Betis.
