Chapter 14 Stable Play

Manchester United won 3-1 at home against the Queens Park Rangers. McKee broke the deadlock, and Evans, Fletcher and Hernandez scored three goals in a row to help Manchester United reverse in the league for the sixth time this season.

Manchester United won the sixth victory in the last 7 rounds, temporarily surpassing Manchester City by 2 points and returning to the top of the list. The Queens Park Rangers, who have not won so far this season, have suffered three consecutive defeats and continue to be at the bottom.

As a Manchester United fan, you will never forget Darren Fletcher. In the 10 seasons of the Red Devils, he has not been identified as the absolute main player in one season, and has played nearly 200 goals in the league and has not passed 20.

But the fire of fighting spirit that never goes out, the long-term patience and persistence of life after suffering bad luck, are deeply moved by every fan who cares about his fate.

After he withdrew from the field last season due to ulcerative colitis in December, almost everyone will feel that Fletcher will retire and bid farewell to Manchester United and Scotland. But in the new season, the iron man not only did not take off his shirt, but aroused the applause of too many fans with more and more wonderful games. Now Fletcher has scored another goal in his first league game of the season, and scored again in his life 368 days later!

The goal is the most common and violent English midfielder like Fletcher: the high jump header is smashed, and it is a fierce head hammer between two equally tall opposing defenders. It is the most arrogant on the football field and the best way to make the fans' adrenal hormone soar.

After Fletcher scored, he ran to the side of the field at the fastest speed and raised his arms to point to the fans. We could all hear him roaring: Old Trafford, I won't leave, I still want to score!

In such a scene, you can't help but think of the most exciting game officially selected by the Premier League in 20 years: Manchester United beat Manchester City 4-3 on September 20, 2009. At that time, Super Stranger Fletcher's two equalized goals, all with headers and the Scottish iron head, which seems to be used at important moments. Turn over the opponent! After scoring the goal, Fletcher's eyes seemed to be a little moist. After all, he waited for this day for too long. More than 70,000 spectators stood up and applauded, and some fans were even moved to tears!

Do you remember his last goal before this goal?

On November 22, 2011, against Benfica, Fletcher scored a goal with two consecutive shots, but because the opponent's Paro Emar scored another goal in the shortest time and finally equalized, it was of little significance to look back. And only today's anti-overtake goal and help the team finally lock in the victory, whether it is himself or the fans, will give the loudest applause in his heart! Welcomeback is the most common word for fans on Twitter to comment on Fletcher.

Once upon a time, the club had let Fletcher, who had been on long sick, become the reserve coach. Although it was temporary, it was obviously paving the way for the veteran's future life, but the Edinburgh tough guy refused to give up. "I know I will come back one day. I'm only 28 years old, and I never wanted to retire." The vows a few months ago still echoed in my ears, and now Fletcher, who still looks a little thin, finally announced his triumphant official return with a goal.

Fletcher regained his composure after the game. He said, "The biggest significance of this ball is to help our team overtake. This is the most exciting thing, and there is nothing special for me personally. Of course, it's a good thing that I can come back and score a goal, but it's a must in a winning team.

Ancelotti said to the unyielding warrior, "I think everyone will be happy to see Darren's performance. For him, he has gone through a long road to return, and this is also the first time I have used him twice in a week this season, and he didn't let the team. Wu ushered in the second defeat. Although I will rearrange the lineup against West Ham in the middle of the week, he has made a good enough contribution today.

Yes, Fletcher, who has enough strength to play continuously, has shown with his actions that this season, from the UEFA Champions League substitute, to the main force of the League Cup, to today's league start, it depends on real ability, not just by scoring to please the audience. In today's game, as a midfielder, there is no difference between him in running and physical confrontation with that year, and three successful blocks in different forms and two successful rounds, especially the data of all five successful fights have shown that Fletcher's ability in defending the back is not reduced at all.

In the past, Fletcher, like O'scher, was a golden oil-like figure in the team where there was a shortage of people. Now that he is gradually shaped as a midfielder from the right, he has only re-determined his status after only six games this season. With such a player, Ancelotti's use of troops on many fronts is obvious. However, it will be greatly enhanced.

Fletcher has played more than 300 games (308 games) in Manchester United, and the league is approaching 200 games (198 games). There is no doubt that when his league appearances reach 200 games, it will be the thunderous applause and sincere praise that greet him today.

It was Li Yu who sent an assist to Fletcher. Manchester United's No. 9 likes to instigate the attack more and more.

In the next round of the game against West Ham, Li Yu did the same thing, but this time the benefit was changed to Van Persie.

If excellent Dutch strikers such as Borgkamp, Fanny and Hasselbaink have built a classic in the Premier League with their own performance, there is no doubt that Van Persie is the person who inherits this classic in the world - nine years ago, when Van Persie first joined Arsenal in the Premier League, he was regarded as the "Ice Prince" Bogkan. Pu's natural descendant; when General Fan, who is gradually mature this season, transferred to Manchester United, he is regarded as taking over Van Nisangny's gun.

In today's Manchester United's home game against West Ham, Van Persie used the only goal in the game, and at the same time, he saluted the two predecessors, Borgkamp and Van Nis.

After the referee blew the opening whistle for the first half of the game, Manchester United, who took the lead in kicking off, immediately launched an attack. After a continuous pass in the midfield, Manchester United No. 9 Li Yu suddenly stuffed the ball straight to Van Persie at the front of the penalty area. At this time, the Dutchman with his back to the West Ham defense made a stunning move: he gently picked up the ball, and then quickly turned around and suddenly broke through the guard who was staring at him!

It's easy to think of the classic created by Borgkamp in the game against Newcastle 10 years ago, and in today's game, Van Persie also turned the beautiful pass into a goal - he quickly shot at the edge of the penalty area after completing the pass, and the ball hit the West Ham defender. There was a deflection, and a strange parabola was hung out, just around West Ham goalkeeper Yas Kleinen and flew into the gate.

It is worth mentioning that the moment the ball entered the net, the game only lasted 31 seconds, and among all the goals scored in the Premier League this season, no other goal came faster than this one!

In fact, the time of 31 seconds is equal to the record of Manchester United's fastest goal in the Premier League in more than a decade of this century, and it is Van Persie's double predecessor of Manchester United and the Netherlands, Van Nis who set this record - Van Nis Van Nis van Nis van Nis van Nis van Nis also scored a goal in the 31st second of the game against Southampton in the 01-02 season!

Although this goal is fast, it can only be regarded as the fastest in this century. In a Premier League match between Manchester United and Southampton in 1995, Giggs scored in 15 seconds, creating the fastest goal for Manchester United in the history of the Premier League.

From this point of view, although he is a newcomer, Van Persie is already well swive of Manchester United's "quick battle" tradition. And his adaptation to the whole process of Manchester United is definitely a "quick battle". Van Nisso, who joined Manchester United, has been regarded as a plug-and-play model, and as his junior, Van Persie has performed well enough in his Manchester United debut season so far.

Faunny, who joined Manchester United in those years, has been regarded as a model of plug-and-play. As his descendant, Van Persie's performance in his Manchester United debut season so far has even been a little greener than blue - and after all, Van Nis van Nisma is a pure scorer. In the first season of Fanny joining Manchester United, He scored a total of 11 goals in the first 14 Premier League games and did not send any assists. However, as an all-round striker, Van Persie often plays for his teammates. In addition to scoring 9 goals in his 14 Premier League games this season, Van Persie has also sent 4 times in the Premier League this season. Assists, that is to say, he scored a total of 13 goals in 14 games, more than Van Nistelto's 11 goals!

In a recent interview with The Mirror, Fannie also said that he was confident that Van Persie would achieve great success at Manchester United: "Van Persie is currently proving himself, and he has made the results of many games different. I think he has adapted well to Manchester United. If he can maintain this performance all season, then I think Manchester United can win the Premier League championship trophy. I fought side by side with him in the national team, and I learned his strength at that time. Now Van Persie still has room for progress, but I'm glad to see his current performance. He has integrated into Manchester United's tactical system. He is everywhere and completes the last blow well, which makes him very special.

It is worth noting that Van Persie admires his forward partner very much. "LEE is a very talented player. He can do a lot of things you can't think of in the game. When he comes to the new club, he has given me the greatest help. Please don't question him anymore. When you need to score, he is better than anyone else. Everyone has the ability to end the game!"

The two Manchester United fronts complement each other, which is definitely a good thing.

It turns out that the good cooperation between the two has also made Manchester United have a good show again and again!

It's Van Persie again! His final goal changed the score to 4-3, causing the Red Devils to retreat in the goal battle with Reading and lead the table with a 3-point advantage. More importantly, it was the goal of the LVP that allowed Manchester United to trample on their sworn enemies in the same city and welcome the Manchester Derby next weekend as the leader.

Before the game, head coach Ancelotti said that Van Persie was the top star of Manchester United, while the original "head" Li Yu had to be used to serving as Van Persie's "deputy" to help the Dutchman attack the city. Ancelotti's arrangement is reasonable. Van Persie's running position is excellent, his left and right foot shots are quite accurate, and his ball control and passing skills are superb. Such a player is the core of Manchester United, which is simply like adding wings to a tiger.

Although they were one goal behind in the first eight minutes of the game, Manchester United players did not feel sorry for themselves and were actively looking for a goal opportunity. Van Persie was the first to take the brunt, using his excellent passing skills and ghostly running position to create good opportunities for his teammates. In the 15th minute, Van Persie controlled the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and secretly and exquisitely hit a straight plug ball with his heel. The understanding Mata plugged it in at high speed and faced the goal.

If it hadn't been for the flying shovel of the Reading defender, I'm afraid Van Persie would have received an assist at this time.

In the 30th minute, Li Yu's push shot rewrite the score to 3-3, helping Manchester United equalize for the second time. Looking back at this goal, if it hadn't been for Van Persie's timely forward pressure, which attracted the attention of Reading's two central defenders, Li Yu would not have been given the opportunity to be unguarded and easily scored twice.

In the 34th minute, Van Persie personally completed a fatal blow. This goal fully demonstrates Van Persie's excellent striker's sense of smell and wonderful ball control skills.

At that time, Carrick's pass was rushing and urgent. Li Yu, who served as a transit station, only tapped with her heel, and did not change much strength and weight. However, Van Persie, who succeeded in offside, firmly stopped the ball at his feet and calmly shot low with his right foot. The ball hung straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

Since then, Van Persie has two good opportunities to break the door. Unfortunately, one time he encountered the referee's goal line injustice, and the other time he missed the big gift from Reading's goalkeeper and kicked the ball away in the face of the empty goal. If these two goals can be successfully scored, the Dutchman who completed the hat-trick will surpass Swansea's Michu and Liverpool's Suarez to lead the scorer list alone.

In the 15th round of the league, Van Persie, who became the top scorer in the team, has scored 10 goals, 4 assists, and made 1 own goal and 15 goals in 15 games!

It accounts for 40% of Manchester United's total number of goals in the league! Compared with Mr. 50 million, Torres' 4 goals, 1 assist and 5 goals, Van Persie's data is three times that of the Spaniards!

Although it is slightly inferior to the 14 goals in 15 rounds in the same period last season, considering last season, Van Persie fought with his Arsenal teammates who have cooperated for many years, and with many years of tacit understanding, he can make such a strong development. Robin has just integrated into a new team this season, and it is not easy to have such an excellent performance. And if General Fan's goals and assists are removed, Manchester United will be 19 points less than now!

Without Van Persie's goal, Manchester United will not only get 1 point in this game, but I'm afraid they can't win the two strong opponents Chelsea and Liverpool away from home. They can only get 1 point against Fulham, Arsenal and West Ham at home, and will even be defeated by the promoted Southampton!

In the game against Reading, Manchester United and their opponents staged a 34-minute goal-goal goal battle in the first half. In the end, the Red Devils won the game 4-03, surpassing their sworn enemies in the same city and continued to rank at the top of the Premier League.

However, bad news came after the game. Spanish midfielder Mata, who scored the first goal for Manchester United in this game, will be absent for several weeks due to a hamstring injury. He will definitely miss the Manchester derby this weekend.

Ancelotti confirmed this on Manchester United's official website: "Unfortunately, Mata's hamstring is injured. He will be absent for a few weeks. He has performed very well recently. He just scored a beautiful goal today. His injury makes me very frustrated."

This season, Mata performed very well, with an assist hat-trick in the League Cup match against Chelsea, and in the game against the Queens Park Rangers, he came on as a substitute for Hernandez. Ancelotti praised Mata for changing the situation after the game. However, there are unexpected weather. Mata has just won the main position with his excellent performance, but he fell down due to injury.

After winning this thrilling game, Manchester United has shaken away Manchester City's 3 points in this round of draw, and will go to Etihad Stadium in the next round. Manchester United, with a 3-point lead, will have a certain psychological advantage.

In the middle of the week, Manchester United and Manchester City will usher in the last round of the group match of the UEFA Champions League. Manchester United has locked the first place in the group in advance, and Manchester City has been eliminated. The only suspense is whether the Blue Moon will have the opportunity to participate in the UEFA Cup.

When talking about the championship rival Manchester City, Ancelotti did not forget to play a psychological battle, saying that Manchester City will try its best to win the league championship after being eliminated from the Champions League, but it also buried a big hidden danger. Previously, Milner and others quarreled with Mancini because of the lack of opportunities to play. Ancelotti's subtext is that there may be civil strife in Manchester City because of the lack of opportunities for substitute players to play.

Ancelotti said in an interview with Manchester United's official website: "I don't think losing is healthy for the club. Although (out of the Champions League) can give you relatively sufficient physical fitness in the second half of the league, on the other hand, how can you make every player happy without games? Manchester City has been out of the League Cup. If the Champions League is also out, it will be difficult to give the players motivation without a chance to play.

In the game against Reading, Ancelotti replaced the average Raphael in 30 minutes of the half. The Brazilian young player was obviously dissatisfied when he came off the game and even refused to hold Ancelotti's outstretched hand. Although his subordinates are so "bold", An Shuai said that he would not impose any penalty on Raphael: "I let Smarin play to improve the height of the defense line. Raphael is very disappointed with being replaced. He is one of our best players this season."

In recent games, Manchester United's new aid Kagawa's performance has not been ideal. In Ancelotti's new diamond midfield formation, Kagawa has gradually lost his way, but the top midfielder said in an interview with The Sun: "As a player, you must want to play all the time and sit on the bench. It will never feel good. I'm not worried about playing the diamond midfield. This formation is very good. I'm a person who can play in multiple positions, so I have no problem with the formation chosen by the coach.
