Chapter 449 The Best in History

In the fourth round of the league, Manchester United beat Bolton 5-0 away, but Ancelotti injured a general. The rising midfielder Cleverley, who rose in the new season, was seriously injured and may even say goodbye to this season in advance.

Bolton has always been known for his fierce style, and it is for this reason that Ancelotti called on the referee to protect De Gea before the game. Before the game, Bolton captain Kevin Davis threatened, "Get ready to teach Phil Jones and De Gea a lesson." Kevin Davis did what he said. As soon as the whistle of the game sounded, he began to commit a savage foul.

Only 4 minutes after the opening, Kevin Davis shoveled Cleverley fiercely from the side and fell to the ground in pain. An Shuai, who had always been calm, was impulsive to the sidelines and angrily accused him.

Because he couldn't hold on, Cleverley was replaced by Carrick in just 8 minutes. In the 13th minute, Kevin Davis, who had just shoveled Cleverley, made a big move to shovel Evra, and the referee Marina showed him a yellow card. Generally speaking, these two flying shovels are enough for Kevin Davis to graduate with a red card in advance. After that, Kevin Davis, who was not restrained, pushed Evra away in a grab. Until he was replaced by Ngog in the 65th minute, Kevin Davis, a striker with great killing Manchester United players in the Premier League, with a flying shovel and elbow.

After being replaced, Cleverley wore protective gear to protect his feet and watched the game with a pale face. Then, Cleverley wrote on his Facebook page, "It doesn't feel very good. It feels like my foot is broken. I don't know more information before receiving the scan. When I know more information, I will update it. Thank you for your concern.

Soon, Cleverley updated his Facebook homepage again, "It will be scanned tomorrow. Thank you for supporting my comments! I'm very angry now. One thing I want everyone to know is that Kevin Davis didn't apologize to me! This may be the end of my season, and I haven't even received any apology.

According to Manchester United's official website, Cleverley is likely to have a broken foot. Ancelotti said, "Cleverley may have a broken foot. This is bad news. It's a bad flying shovel. If tomorrow's scan confirms that Clevelli's season is really over, it will be as terrible as a nightmare for this genius who has just started playing the main force.

Cleverley had suffered three serious injuries before: in March 2007, Cleverley was seriously injured for 7 months; in April 2009, Cleverley had a serious shoulder injury and ended the season ahead of schedule; in April 2010, Cleverley was seriously injured in the knee and was carried off wearing an oxygen mask, which was reimbursed for the season. If the injury is found to be serious after this scan, it will be the fourth serious injury in Cleverley's career, which will be a huge loss for him and the whole Manchester United team.

It is not surprising that Manchester United defeated Bolton away from home after the change of coach. After all, in the past 17 moves with Manchester United, Bolton has only won one game (1-0 in November 2007), which is also the only defeat of Manchester United in the history of the Premier League. Manchester United has won 11 games against Bolton in the past 13 times. In this game, Little Pea scored only 5 minutes at the beginning of the game, which also killed the possibility of Bolton's coldness early. But I'm afraid not many people will think before the game that Manchester United will win five away. The 5-0 away victory over Bolton also allowed Manchester United to win the record 200th away victory in the Premier League.

In the first 25 minutes of this game, Little Pea scored 1 goal and Li Yumei scored twice. Manchester United took a 3-0 lead away from home, which was the least time for Manchester United to score three goals in the beginning of the Premier League in more than four years. It is worth mentioning that the last time was in March 2007, also against Bolton. Also in the first 25 minutes, Manchester United scored two goals by Park Ji-sung, and Li Yu also scored a goal and took a 3-0 lead.

In the first round, they narrowly beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1, the second round home 3-0 home Tottenham Hotspur, the third round 8-2 home win Arsenal, and this round away 5-0 over Bolton. Manchester United scored 18 goals in the 4 rounds of the new season, which is a new record for the first four rounds of goals in the entire Premier League. If you expand your eyes to England's top league In history, Manchester United has set a new record for scoring after four rounds in nearly 64 years. In the 1947-48 League One season, Wolves scored 20 goals in four rounds (3-4 Manchester City away), 8-1 Grimsby at home, 5-1 Blackburn at home, 4-0 Grimsby away), but only 3 wins and 1 loss.

Previously, in the 24 full seasons of coaching Manchester United, Ferguson only led the team to start with four consecutive league wins, the 05-06 season and 06-07 season, but the two goals were 9 goals after 4 rounds, but this time it was as high as 15. At the same time, Manchester City also won 4 consecutive games, scoring 15 goals and conceding 3 goals, and its attack power is also very amazing.

Today's Manchester United has done what Ferguson couldn't do in the Ferguson era.

BBC commentators even said that the final goal of this season depends on the number of goals to distinguish the Premier League champion and runner-up. The Guardian said that if he is lucky, Little Pea can score 4 goals in this game, and if he does score 4 goals, it will equal the Wolves' record 64 years ago.

Looking at the Premier League schedule below, next Sunday's home game against Chelsea, September 24 away against Stoke City (This season's home game Chelsea 0-0, Liverpool 1-0 victory), October 1st home game promoted Manovic, October 15th away game against Liverpool, October 23rd home game The game against Manchester City and the away game against Everton on October 29. Among them, home games against Chelsea, away against Stoke City, away against Liverpool, home against Manchester City and away against Everton, these five games are difficult to play in the league.

However, now, Manchester United are considering the Champions League group stage against Benfica next Wednesday night. In this game that Ancelotti considers the most difficult game in the group, Anshuai is ready to send some experienced players, such as Fletcher and Giggs. Of course, he will also send many young players, including Phil Jones. Wait.

An Shuai said, "Experience is important, that is, my players may be different from Lisbon players. There is no doubt that young players will gain experience from this season's Champions League, but the important thing is to advance. The home game is very beneficial to them. Our first home game is Basel, and young players can play that game. But playing Benfica away from home is a game you must respect. They play three midfielders, which is difficult to deal with. We expect it to be a difficult game, which will be the most difficult one in our group stage.

On October 18, Manchester United will visit Bucharest to challenge Romanian champion Galați Steel. Five days after this game, Manchester United will play against Manchester City at home, so it is necessary to avoid injury.

Last week, World Cup finalist Weber enforced Romania's European preliminaries against France. Evra played that game. The French left-backer revealed that "the venue is absolutely terrible." Ancelotti is still very worried about the away court in Romania. "Evra said it was dangerous to play in that field, which is part of what you face in Europe. I've seen Iceland play against Russia in Moscow. We have trained on that turf. I think it's okay, but the next night, it looks difficult to play on it.

Bart, the representative of Manchester United's 92 Golden Generation, said that this Manchester United reminded him of the 1992 Golden Generation. Back to the days when I and Beckham, Scholes, Gary Neville and Phil Neville entered the first team, we felt invincible. We felt that we could conquer the world at that time, and now I see a similar scene from these young people. Am I surprised? No, not at all. Because it is not accidental for these things to appear at Manchester United. Cliveley and Welbeck have been at Manchester United for a while. Smarling and Phil Jones are what we brought in from outside, but they are ready now.

"I'm sure that Giggs, Leo, Vidic, Fletcher and even Li Yu will make young people behave. They all seem to be children who are very focused on football. Just like in those years, we took care of Bruce, Brian Robson, Roy Keane, Paul Ins, Mark Hughes, Schmeichel, Parister, Dennis Elvin and McClair. I won't say that Manchester City will not win the Premier League championship, but it must be difficult for them. Although Manchester United is younger than Manchester City, you can still expect the coach to bring the 21 championship trophy to Manchester United in May.

"I'm sure we can continue to beat Barcelona, relying on the existing players and tireless ambitions." In an interview with the Mirror this week, Giggs was obviously worried about the defeat in the Champions League final, and yesterday at the Bright Stadium in Lisbon, the Red Devils veteran played with an iconic single ride. In the chapter of the team's new season, the Welsh expressed his infinite desire for the Champions League championship with practical actions!

In the group stage of Group C of the UEFA Champions League in the evening, Giggs reproduced the elegance of his young teenager. In the 42nd minute of the first half, he volleyed with his left foot after a chic middle cut, which caught Benfica goalkeeper Artur off guard. This equalizing goal helped the team get 1 point in the most difficult away game in the group stage, and also made a good start for Manchester United's next game.

Giggs, who has always appeared as a substitute in the league this season, got a hard-won start in the first group stage of the Champions League. Objectively speaking, the overall performance of Manchester United Laochen in this game is only acceptable, and the competitive state has not been adjusted to the best. However, even in such a situation, Giggs still sent 66 passes, 5 passes, and 6 successful one-on-one passes in the whole game. This gorgeous straight yellow dragon must also become him. A memorable goal in the Champions League.

When it comes to goals in the Champions League, Giggs has the same many records. Since his debut in the Champions League in the 1996-97 season, Giggs has scored in the Champions League for 11 consecutive seasons, a record that is only behind the legendary Raul's 14 consecutive seasons of goals in the Champions League. In a total of 17 Champions League seasons in which Giggs participated, he made achievements in 16 of them, only that he did not score a goal in the 07-08 season, which is like a monumental achievement.

At the same time, the Champions League goal scored today also made Giggs set a new record for the oldest goal scorer in the Champions League. In April this year, Giggs broke Inzaghi's record in the knockout match against Schalke 04, setting the record for the oldest goal in 37 years and 148 days. Five months later, 37 years old and 289 days of Manchester United's living fossils once again broke this record! As far as Giggs' current competitive status is concerned, he is very hopeful that he will continue to set new records this season.

For setting a new record, Giggs said in an interview with Manchester United's official website after the game: "I think I'm enjoying it. There will be new challenges every season. Young people drag you forward in training. When you sometimes feel slow or tired, they will take you forward... You always want to maintain your competitive state, although my rhythm has changed. I don't have personal goals. If I reach these milestones, it's good, but I won't set goals for myself. Now, every moment, every week, and every season is an extra reward for me.

You know, in today's game, Giggs is even three years older than referee Slovene Skomina, but the Welsh's tireless running makes him look more like 28 years old, rather than about to turn 38.

In the 44th minute of the first half, Li Yu sent a long pass from the right side. After Giggs stopped the ball just right at the back point, he completed a beautiful pass and almost helped Park Ji-xing in the penalty area to score.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Giggs was like a divine help! He suddenly accelerated and started at the front of the penalty area. Using fake moves and change of direction, he broke through the encirclement of four Benfica defenders in a row. Unfortunately, the single shot in the penalty area was saved from the bottom line by the home team goalkeeper. In the 37th minute of the second half, the Manchester United veteran once again played an elegant breakthrough. After two beautiful passes in the middle, he also played a wall with his teammates. At the age of 37, he was not finishing his work, but completely enjoying football!

After the game, "Sky Sports" scored 7 points for the goal scorer.

So far, Giggs and Scholes are the only Manchester United players in the Red Devils who have won more than 10 top league championship trophies. Before the start of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United did not forget to mention their comrades-in-arms who had fought together for many years: "Manchester United will never have Scholes again, 100 There will be no players after ten thousand years. It is impossible to find players similar to him, but the club still has to move forward, which is Manchester United's style. I have always told him that he is still controlling most of the games, which is what he is good at, but the longer such days, the more I can feel the coming of his retirement. I will never try to change his mind, and I hope he will continue to move forward. During training, you can never get close to him. It's a pleasure to watch him play football.

Although this season started as a substitute and the playing time is limited, Giggs' contribution to the team has not weakened at all: in the second round of the league against Tottenham Hotspur, he came on as a substitute and assisted Li Yu to help the team lock in the victory; in the third round, it was his assist to help the new player Mata complete the world wave. So far this season is Stop, give 1 goal and 2 assists in 152 minutes!

Giggs said that there will be no new Scholes after a million years, and how can there be a new Giggs after a million years!? Whenever, Giggs always silently does everything in his hands and never participates in the competition for the purpose of attracting attention. His goal is usually only one: the championship trophy.

In an interview with the Mirror, Giggs said: "I think everyone is disappointed with the loss of last year's Champions League final, and the head coach has done a very good job. Many people think that we can't surpass Liverpool, but we have also done it. So it will be disappointing not to win the Champions League trophy, but I think it is still a great achievement to surpass Liverpool. Because 20 years ago, no one might think we could do it.

For Giggs, it is his mission to create glory in Manchester United. Today's game is not his first time to ride alone, and it will certainly not be the last time. Whether it is Beckham, Gary Neville, Scholes or Van der Sar, whether Li Yu will reach the same height one day, at least no active or newly retired player can cross this record of the Red Devil's living fossil.

Rather than saying that Giggs is the ultimate benchmark of Manchester United, it is better to say that Manchester United is the imprint of Giggs. As long as there is a cavity of blood of the Red Devil surging in his veins, he will tirelessly run for his faith. Retired? Unless one day he really can't run, but looking at him today, you will know that that day is still far away.

Although it only won a 1:1 draw away from home, in the eyes of all media, this draw also plays an extremely important role.

Under the idea of An Shuai, Manchester United did not send all the main players in this game, which has a lot to do with the next round of facing Chelsea in the league. It can be said that Manchester United's guest appearance in the Champions League has been successfully completed.

The outbreak of Giggs is very critical. Li Yu's instigation on the field has also been greatly improved. Manchester United's new season and new configuration are more and more untested. Although it does not continue the momentum of great victory in the Premier League, such economic taking away points also makes people see that Manchester United is still the mature champion team.

Under the leadership of Ancelotti, Manchester United is becoming more and more reassuring. Even the big rotation of Ferguson's style is still the same. In the eyes of the media and fans, Manchester United will gallop in Europe this year!
