"Manchester United" legend Rio Ferdinand didn't hold back criticism for the team after a tragic performance in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Yesterday, in the return match, the "Red Devils" were defeated 1-2 by the "Sevilla" team, saying goodbye to the chances of fighting for the Champions League title. "Man Utd" remained silent in the matches until the score became 2-0. In this situation, the hosts only had to focus all their efforts on the attack, but it didn't go well. R. Ferdinand, working as an analyst on "BT Sport" television, didn't hide his disappointment after the match: "They were tragic. I really couldn't expect such a result after the weekend match with "Liverpool". They won then and played quite good football." "Today, this team looked like a set of players who saw each other for the first time. From the beginning of the match, they seemed overly tense and very cautious. In such matches, you have to step on the field determined to win and not give any chances to the opponent. This stadium should inspire that. You must create situations where fans would cheer and support you. However, the stadium was quiet today, and all of this is because of the players on the field," said R. Ferdinand. The Englishman also mentioned that Alexis Sanchez, who strengthened "Man Utd" this winter, seems lost on the field: "He is in his own world. In the "Arsenal" team, he was the player everyone looked at as a person who could inspire the team to win. In Manchester, he is just another stranger."
