It was noted that Manchester United (hereinafter referred to as Manchester United) repeatedly lost points in a corner kick situation in a week.
Manchester United lost 0-2 to Wolverhampton in the 18th round of the Premier League in 2024-25 season at Molineux Stadium in Burhampton, England, on the 27th (Korea time). Manchester United was completely defeated by Wolverhampton's Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan, allowing consecutive goals, and recently continued their slump in three consecutive official games.
Manchester United's Hoyerun played as a striker against Wolverhampton, and Bruno Fernandes and Diallo led the attack. Mainu and Ugarte formed the waistline, while Dalot and Mazrawi played in the side. Lisandro Martinez, Maguire and Yoro were in charge of defense and the goal was kept by Onana.
In the match between the two teams, Wolverhampton led the game with Cunha scoring the first goal in the 13th minute of the second half. Cunha, who was a kicker in a corner kick, drew a parabolic ball with his right foot and went straight into the Manchester United goal.
Later, Wolverhampton sealed the match with Hwang Hee-chan scoring an additional goal in the second half's extra time. In Wolverhampton's quick attack, Cunha dribbled through the back space of Manchester United's defense, and Hwang Hee-chan finished the ball connected to the front of the goal with a right-footed shot, and Wolverhampton's victory ended the game.
Wolverhampton's Cunha showed a strong performance of one goal and one assist, including an assist for Hwang Hee-chan's additional goal against Manchester United. Cunha scored the winning goal with a direct goal from a corner kick situation. Manchester United allowed Son Heung-min to score a corner goal in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup in 2024-25 against Tottenham on the 20th, and then gave a corner to Cunha of Wolverhampton a week later.
After Son Heung-min scored a direct corner kick against Manchester United, many British local media described it as Olympico. Argentina's striker Onsari's corner kick in the match between Argentina and Uruguay in 1924 led to the score. At that time, he was called "goal Olympico" for scoring a corner kick goal against Uruguay, the winner of the 1924 Paris Olympics, and the term Olympico has been used since then.
British Athletic said on the 27th, "Manchester United has an Olympico problem. The situation got worse when Manchester United allowed its second Olympico goal in a week. Manchester United, which had 10 players in the second half, aimed for an equalizer, but lost an additional goal to Hwang Hee-chan and the result became clear." 토토사이트
The media outlet said, "Manchester United scored twice in a week of direct corner kicks. It is impressive that Manchester United is disappointing in new and bizarre ways. Even those who have never heard of the word Olympico last week may be familiar now. Cunha followed Son and scored from the sharpest angle."
"Manchester United goalkeeper Vindir made a mistake in the match against Tottenham, and Onana lost a point because she could not judge the ball's trajectory at all. Onana was pushed out by Manchester United players, who could not protect Onana. It was a personal and collective failure," he added.
