Ball Push Network, May 15, Manchester United defender Mazravi faced the team's contradictory performance this season in a recent interview, admitted that the breakthrough of the UEFA Cup could not cover up the sluggishness of the Premier League, and at the same time vowed to reshape the team's dignity in the Europa League final.

Speaking of the differences in the two-front battle, Mazravie pointed out without hesitation: "The journey of the UEFA Cup may be a huge success, but our Premier League season is still very bad." Although Manchester United defeated strong enemies in the UEFA Cup and entered the finals, showing resilience and tactical execution, the results in the middle and lower reaches of the league (as of the interview temporarily ranked 12th) have become the team's "stain" this season. Problems such as loose defense, inefficient offensive efficiency, and repeated loss of points in key battles are exposed, especially the embarrassing record of being "three-killed" by Tottenham, which further reflects the lack of team stability.

Regarding the experience of being defeated by Tottenham three times, Mazravi admitted his frustration, but emphasized that the Europa League final will be a new battlefield: "That is the story of the Premier League, and now we are on the stage of the Europa League final. The final means that everything will start over, and the mentality, tactics and concentration will be completely different." He revealed that the coaching staff has conducted a special review on the issues in the league, and at the same time, in the preparations for the Europa League, it focuses on strengthening the efficiency of defensive counterattacks and set pieces offense and defense, striving to welcome the opponent in a more mature posture.

Mazravi's remarks resonate with fans - Although the UEFA Cup is the only champion that Manchester United is expected to compete for this season, the sluggish Premier League has seriously affected the team's morale and season evaluation. Many comments pointed out that if you cannot win the cup in the final, this season is likely to be defined as a "failed season". The player himself showed a strong desire to win: "We are clear about the criticism from the outside world and understand the responsibility on our shoulders. The Europa League final is not only for the trophy, but also for the fans to see the fighting spirit and changes of this team."

As the Europa League final is approaching, can Manchester United show a new look under the leadership of defensive core members such as Mazravi? This final may not be able to reverse the Premier League's decline, but it may become a key turning point for the team to rebuild their confidence. As Mazravie said: "The charm of football is always the opportunity to re-prove ourselves, and we are ready."
