Instagram is the clubs’ bragging wall. Here are posted photos, interviews, well-edited videos and other snacks that will give the good feeling to the club’s supporters. It was therefore eye-catching how Manchester United’s coverage of the club’s trip to Bergen started with attractions from the Norwegian city. To then repress the fact that a match was played this Thursday evening against SK Brann.
Before Thursday’s third qualifying round for the Women’s Champions League, Manchester United posted a cavalcade of pictures from lovely Bergen, No pictures from the training ground. It could seem that the United players came to Bergen as tourists, because after the shocking 1-0 loss, there were no new pictures from Bergen either.
Ingrid Stenevik headed in the goal 13 minutes before the end, secured Brann a 1-0 victory and set up an exciting second leg in Leigh Sports Village. United coach Marc Skinner comments on the shock loss by ridiculing the Brann players’ “exaggerated” celebration.
-We were the better team, but we didn’t win the game. We lost on set pieces, which we have to be more aggressive with in the box. We created chances, but were simply not clinical enough. But let me be clear: this is “for the break”. Brann are celebrating as if they have already won advancement – so let’s see when they return to Leigh. Other than that, Phallons had nothing to do – and that’s European football. I’ve told the girls: don’t lower your shoulders. It’s ‘until half-time’ and we can use all that energy against them next week when we play at home,” Manchester United coach Skinner said, according to Goal.
Then we will see if the Manchester United players will also be “tourists in their own city” in the second leg. For the record, we include SK Brann’s coverage on Instagram of the match.
