Chapter 70 The Red Devil is defeated
In the FA Cup, Manchester United passed smoothly, but Fulham was washed by Manchester United with a big score at home, 0:4!
Manchester United has advanced to the semi-finals in the FA Cup. It is rare that Manchester United really wants to win all the championships this season. The British media is already excited. Manchester United is creating an unprecedented miracle. The rest of the games are the FA Cup, the Champions League and the Premier League.
In addition to the previous League Cup and World Club Cup, the real five-crown champion is a great career!
Li Yu can fight with the team in such a club. After a game, he feels a little incredible. Especially Li Yu is also a Chinese. In the past, these championships were so far out of reach, but now he seems to be very close to these. As long as he tries harder, he can It's the same.
Is it at your fingertips?
That also has to be done step by step. The state shown by Li Yu in training surprised the players and coaches of all clubs. No matter who will have a fatigue period, especially when the game enters the closing stage, the players will have ups and downs to varying degrees, but Li Yu seems to always Just like the red status in live football, such players are rare, and they are surprisingly in a good state of tirelessness.
Ronaldo is only envious. Compared with Li Yuyi, he perceives his biggest shortcoming, but is this a shortcoming?
As long as there are people, there will be ups and downs, but Li Yu really doesn't look like a normal person recently!
In Fulham's game, it completely became Li Yu's performance match alone. He arranged four goals for Manchester United alone, which can be said to be that Li Yu's blood washed Fulham alone.
Even the British media, which has always liked to pick bones in eggs, recently said that Li Yu can't get a big contract. I'm sorry for God's favor of this Chinese young man.
He is young, but his strength has almost reached the peak that a player can reach. In the recent games of Manchester United, even Ronaldo C is inferior. The most terrible thing is that he is only 20 years old. He still has potential. Manchester United's spending is more or less worth it. Can the legendary lifelong contract be released? That's it!
Li Yu herself was not confused by such pursuit. She knew her own things. In Fulham's game, it was the result that they felt hopeless to advance and had no intention of the game at all. Being able to score four goals was also the overall strong result of Manchester United. First of all, the opponent knew that it was Manchester United, especially England. The super team is at least three points weak before playing in the game.
If the game starts to score earlier, it will become natural for Fulham to give up. If it were in Everton last season, Li Yu felt that he would not win this game so smoothly. It is really his real feeling. Manchester United's strength is all-round. In the Premier League, they are the kings. There is nothing else, Ferguson. This is the concept that has been instilled in Manchester United.
In the past, Arsenal and Chelsea took turns to challenge the status of the King of Manchester United, but in recent years, no team has the qualification or capital to challenge Manchester United again.
Arsenal returned to the list of prospective giants, especially after Henry left Barcelona, the gun king of the arsenal left, and the whole team also lost the qualification to compete with Manchester United. Wenger and Ferguson, the old enemies, also seemed to cherish each other because of Arsenal's gradual withdrawal from the championship in recent years. In fact, this is not difficult. I understand that the two oldest coachmen in the Premier League, what else can't be untie for the two old people?
Chelsea is silent when Mourinho, the founder, left. It is still a first-class team, but without a madman, Chelsea seems to be missing something. What kind of coach can bring out what kind of player. This sentence may be more on Chelsea now. It's right. The head coach will always be the person who is hopeless. Such a player still expects to compete for various championships? Entering the finals, but at the critical moment, the difference may be the head coach, or simply in the background of the club. Money can buy anything, only, the background of the club can not be bought with money.
After talking for a long time, did Li Yu achieve Manchester United this season?
Or did Manchester United make Li Yu?
No one can tell, or the win-win situation after the organic combination of the two is the best answer.
Can such a win-win continue until the end of this season?
In the current performance of both sides, the honeymoon between C Ronaldo and Manchester United is coming to an end, while the honeymoon period between Li Yu and Manchester United has just officially begun.
Manchester United returned to the Premier League, but unexpectedly lost to Liverpool led by Benitez in Old Trafford.
1:4, a shocking big score.
In the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal and scored the 700th goal at home of Manchester United's Premier League, but then Vidic's mistake made Torres to equalize the score. Gerrard scored a penalty in the midfield. In the second half, Vidic again made a mistake and got a red card. Liverpool used this free kick to lock the victory by Aurelio, and Dossena won the championship in stoppage time. Add to the flower.
Li Yu has been working hard since she fell behind at Manchester United, but today doesn't seem to be the day when Li Yu scored. She has passed the goal many times, and the nearest distance is less than 10 centimeters.
The most important thing is not that Manchester United's front line is weak, but that Manchester United's defenders are collectively abnormal and collectively weak, resulting in this big defeat.
Vidic's abnormality defeated Manchester United. The headline of Sky Sports mercilessly listed the name of the Serbs, saying that his fall was the reason for Liverpool's rapid progress.
However, Ferguson has a different view on this: "Vidiqi is also a person. When all players make mistakes, he has been stable this season."
As Ferguson said, although Vidic is a loophole that has been "exploded" by Liverpool on the surface, it is not worth worrying. After all, strength and state are two different things. The Serbs have proved their ability. He will not continue like this, but a less conspicuous loophole is more worthy of Ferguson's worry about, then It's the gap behind Manchester United's full-back.
The so-called no one is perfect. Evra has great support for the attack, but it is easy to leave space behind him if he often goes up. Ferguson used to make up for this by shrinking the formation and defense line when he touched a strong team, but today's mentality is a little floating. The overall pressure is out and wants to eat Liverpool, revealing the gap behind the defense line. For Vidic, the defeat in this game should be forgotten as soon as possible, but for Ferguson, this 1:4 is a reminder that when you meet an opponent's attacker with good speed and impact, it may be more practical than the "prudent playing method" when it was against Barcelona last year.
Manchester United and Liverpool's Premier League peak showdown ended with Manchester United's loss and Liverpool's convincing victory.
After this game, Manchester United led Liverpool by 4 points in one less round. With 9 rounds left in the league, it seems that the championship situation has taken another turn. But with a careful analysis, it is almost impossible for Liverpool or Chelsea to catch up or even surpass Manchester United in the final stage.
The opponent of Manchester United in the first round of the match is Portsmouth. The Red Devils will face the Pompeii in the home make-up match. Considering Manchester United's league home record this season (12 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss so far this season), it is very likely that Manchester United will win the relegation team Portsmouth at home. If it develops normally, Manchester United will steadily put these 3 points into their pockets in the make-up match.
In other words, under the premise of 29 league games at the same time, the real lead of the Red Devils should be about 7 points.
Assuming that Manchester United can really lead by 7 points after the make-up match, let's check the next schedule of the Red Devils. The 9 rounds of the league include 4 home games and 5 away games. The 4 home games are home games against Villa, against Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham, among which Tottenham are relegation teams; Villa and Arsenal are competing for next season's Champions League tickets; Manchester City has no desire, but it is a derby battle with Manchester United.
Last season, Manchester United was double-killed by Manchester City in the league. This season, needless to say, Derby's revenge will definitely be avenged; against Arsenal, the Red Devils will definitely take revenge to the first place. This season, Manchester United has achieved an embarrassing record of 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses and 4 points in the minor league so far, 4 wins and 1 draw with Liverpool. The comparison of 13 points is simply terrible. In the first round of away against Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United was helpless with the dialect. This time, the Lord will definitely not waste any opportunity to get 3 points. According to Manchester United's strong home scoring rate, it is normal for Manchester United to score 10-12 points in these four home games.
Manchester United's remaining five away games are away against Fulham, Sunderland, Miburg, Hull City and Wigan. Among them, Miburg, Sunderland and Hull City belong to the relegation Legion, while Fulham and Wigan belong to the team without desire.
Among them, Hull City's home league record is only 3 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses, ranking the last of the top 20 in the Premier League. There should be no problem for Manchester United to win this game. The Riverside Stadium in Miburg is very magical. Last season, Manchester United tried their best to get 1 point here. Now they are facing Southgate, who is aiming to relegated. Team, Manchester United will definitely go straight to three points. Fortunately, the home team's record at the Riverside Stadium this season is only 4 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses, ranking 16th in the Premier League. Manchester United should be able to get 3 points here. Wigan was a blessed place for Manchester United to win the championship last season. I believe that Bruce, who has no desire, will not be too embarrassed. ; Sunderland has almost lost all against the top four teams in recent seasons. This season, it has only won 2 points from Arsenal, and it is difficult for Black Cats to block the pace of Manchester United. Fulham's home court this season is very fierce, but Manchester United has played with the farmer twice this season, 3-0 home league make-up and the FA Cup away. The game is 4-0, so it has an absolute psychological advantage.
In summary, in these five away games, Miburg's Riverside Stadium is the only venue where Manchester United may lose points. In these five away games, Manchester United is likely to score 13-15 points. In other words, Manchester United lost up to 2 points in the last four league home games, and up to 2 points in the five away leagues. For the rest of the schedule, Manchester United lost up to 4 points. In the case of a goal difference compared with Liverpool, Manchester United will be ahead of Liverpool as long as the points are equal.
Looking at Liverpool's schedule, the Reds will welcome Villa and Arsenal at home in the following games, Fulham, who has an excellent record at home, and West Ham, which is very difficult to deal with. Chelsea's schedule is even worse, and the Blues will meet Everton, who is not weak in the home league. And derby opponent Fulham; in the away game, the Blues will challenge the three Derby opponents, Tottenham, West Ham and Arsenal, and it is almost impossible to get all the points.
Therefore, it is difficult for Manchester United, which wants to become more cautious, to lose an almost 7-point lead in the last 9 rounds.
In particular, Chelsea and Liverpool, as pursuers, cannot make any small mistakes.
Once the pursuers make a mistake, Manchester United will not lose the championship, but are very hopeful to win the championship one or two rounds ahead of schedule.
This will also be Manchester United's third consecutive league championship and the fourth championship Manchester United has won this season.
In the peak match between Liverpool and Manchester United, it was Torres who equalized Liverpool, and Gerrard was the hero who defeated Manchester United. The Reds' flag bearers first made a penalty and personally sent a penalty to help Liverpool overtake the score to 2-1. Then he induced Vidic to foul himself and let the Manchester United graduate early at the best of the season. With this free kick, his teammate Aurelio changed the score to 3-1, with 15 minutes left in the game. In the case of ending, the Red Army, which leads two goals and plays one more person, is indeed as Gerrard said - the victory is very comfortable.
"From the front line to the defense line, today is a gorgeous team performance. We are one goal behind, but we showed a strong personality and won the score back. Finally, when they were sent off, the game became very comfortable and easy, but even when it was 11 to 11, we still behaved like men. After defeating Manchester United, the point gap between Liverpool and Manchester United has temporarily narrowed to 4 points. Of course, the Red Devils also had a home make-up match against Portsmouth. Gerrard hopes that this great victory will help the Reds once again ignite the hope of winning the league championship. The most important thing is that the points have been reduced a little, but we still have a lot of hard work to do. I hope today's result also gives faith to other teams that they can also beat Manchester United. We have also been lucky to win a goal here before, and it feels great to score a goal, especially considering the treatment I have received here in the past 10 years.
Take a look at the performance clips of Gerrard's dedication. In the 12th minute, Aurelio went straight. Gerrard inserted the ball into the penalty area. Vidic was stuck, but Gerard alertly poked the ball from behind him to the middle. Unfortunately, under Leo's interference, Liverpool players did not get the ball. In the 43rd minute, Torres went straight, Evra's defense was too slow to shovel down Gerard. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Gerrard resisted the pressure and personally hit the penalty. 2-1, Liverpool successfully overtook the score, while Gerrard deliberately kissed the team emblem and the camera lens after scoring, and the camera quickly found Rooney, who was depressed on the other side. In the first half, it was in the injury stoppage time, and Gerrard's long-range shot was blocked. In the 75th minute, Kuyt passed the ball with his heel, and Vidic's tactical foul pulled down Gerrard, who had formed a breakthrough. He was shown a red card directly by referee Wiley. In the 85th minute, Evra made a mistake in the header, and Babel made the ball to Gera in the penalty area. De, the latter pushed higher. After the goal did not score, Gerrard laughed instead. For the first time in seven years, Liverpool beat Manchester United in the league, and Gerard couldn't pretend to be deep. In the whole game, Gerrard scored a goal with two shots and one shot, creating three free kicks, and one tackle and two outs.
This season, Gerrard has scored 18 goals in various events, including 10 Premier League goals (4th in the Premier League scorer list), 7 League Cup (1st in the League Cup scorer list) and 1 FA Cup goal; Torres has scored 11 goals in various events. The goal includes 9 Premier League goals, 1 FA Cup goal and 1 UEFA Cup goal. The two have scored a total of 29 goals in various competitions, including 19 Premier League goals, while Liverpool's team has scored a total of 49 goals in the Premier League this season. Gerrard and Torres account for nearly 40% (39%). The attack combination of the two of them is one of the best even in Europe.
In the 24th round of the Premier League, Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield Stadium. For the first time in 19 years, they beat Chelsea twice in a season, and Torres scored twice. In this league away game against Manchester United, Torres' goal helped the Reds equalize the score, while Gerrard's penalty shot helped the Reds complete 2 -1 overtaking.
Not long ago, the famous star Zidane publicly said in an interview that Gerrard is one of the best midfielders in football today. Looking at the following data, do you still refuse to recognize Gerrard as the number one midfielder in football?
In the 2001 UEFA Cup final, Liverpool won the championship with a 5-4 victory over Alaves, and Gerrard scored the team's second goal. In the 2003 League Cup final, Liverpool won a 2-0 victory over Manchester United, and Gerrard helped the Reds set the record in the game. In the 2006 FA Cup final, Liverpool beat West with a penalty kick. Ham won the championship, and Gerrard scored two goals in a row in 90 minutes, helping Liverpool equalize the score of 3-3 in injury time. In the 2005 UEFA Champions League final, Liverpool beat AC Milan with a penalty kick to win the championship. Gerrard took the lead in bringing back a header in the second half and created the penalty that finally equalized the score of 3-3... ...
In today's football world, how many players have scored in the League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions Cup finals, and also helped the team finally win the Cup? What's more, Gerard is just a midfielder. Strictly speaking, scoring is not a task he must complete.
