Manchester United’s squad, defender Diogo Dalot is a player who is often underrated.
At Old Trafford on the evening of March 17, Man Utd and Liverpool played one of the most exciting matches in FA Cup history.
Man Utd opened the scoring early, but was led 2-1 by Liverpool until the 87th minute. However, the Red Devils decided not to give up. They scored the equalizer to send the match into two extra periods.
In the end, Man Utd defeated Liverpool 4-3 to win the right to enter the semi-finals.
On a day when many players were praised, it was impossible not to mention Diogo Dalot. The Portuguese defender is Man Utd’s silent warrior in this match.
Before The Kop, Dalot worked like a tireless running machine. He attacks and defends rhythmically, limiting Luis Diaz’s range, while also providing good support for the ball.
At many times, Dalot was seen performing impressive overlaps, as well as extremely smooth long passes. Dalot plays football confidently, without feаr and is increasingly mature.
Dalot had 6 rescue situations, 2 interceptions, 3 tackles and successfully completed 8/10 long passes.
Antony scored again at Old Trafford after more than a year. He immediately expressed his gratitude to Dalot: “I have more than one friend, a guy who always helps me every day.”
Dalot is often underestimated, but he is proving everyone wrong with his quality performances on the field.
This season, Man Utd is lucky to have Dalot. The Portuguese player can take charge of both wings well in the context of the Red Devils’ forces suffering losses due to a series of injuries.
