Scott McTominay (27), who showed a sluggish performance at Manchester United (hereinafter referred to as Man United), showed a 180 degree different appearance in the Scotland A national team. He took the lead in taking down Spain by scoring multi-goals in two consecutive matches.
Scotland won 2-0 with McTominay scoring multiple goals in the second leg of the UEFA Euro 2024 Group A qualifier against Spain held at Hampden Park in Glasgow, England on the 29th (Korean time). Scotland also won 3-0 in the away game against Cyprus in the last game, with McTominay scoring 2 goals and 3 goals.
McTominay has not been impressive for his team this season. At the beginning of the season, he was moderated by manager Eric ten Haag, but failed to meet expectations and was reduced to the reserve. He played 32 games for the season, but played only 1386 minutes. He plays 43 minutes per game, and if you count the full 90 minutes, he only played 15 games.
However, ‘National University’ McTominay was different. In the match against Cyprus, he was substituted in the 22nd minute of the second half and scored consecutive goals in the 42nd and 48th minutes of the second half right before the end of the game. This match was an opportunity to wash away the sluggishness at Man Utd and make a big success against Spain.
He started as a central midfielder against Spain and scored two goals. In the 7th minute of the first half, Andrew Robertson, who dug into the left flank taking advantage of a mistake by Spain’s Pedro Poro, passed to the goal, and McTominay rushed in and scored with a left-footed shot. 먹튀검증
Then, in the 6th minute of the second half, David Garcia hit and refracted the ball in front of the Spanish goal, and McTominay connected it with a left-footed shot, shaking the net.
McTominay was a striker during his youth days at Manchester United, but changed his position to a midfielder as he matured. He played as a midfielder in this A match 2 match, but played the same role as his position in his youth. McTominay’s striker-like performance put Scotland at the top of the group and made a good start to the Euro 2024 finals.
According to the UK’s Via Play, McTominay said after the game, “We did really well. You have to play like this when you win. Today’s victory will make everyone think 20 or 30 years from now.”
