Chapter 399 Catch up with Chelsea

Three days after the Derby, the second game of Manchester United's so-called back-to-back game began!

Manchester United has only scored two goals in the past eight times away from Villa Park. However, after Manchester United's 2-2 away draw with Aston Villa, all Manchester United fans can't help but be secretly happy, because if it weren't for the poor ability of Aston Villa players to seize the opportunity, Manchester United may even bring a The bloody defeat left this once blessed land.

He opened the gate to his opponent and staged the ultimate defensive player. It was just left-back Evra, who was praised by Ferguson as the team's "most stable man".

Evra's performance this season has not been stable, but thanks to Manchester United's solid defensive system, Evra's negligence and mistakes on the defensive end have not caused disastrous consequences for the team.

But in this game, Evera's left guard has almost become the opponent's unimpeded defensive weakness. Aston Villa's 20-year-old young player Albrighton behaves like a world-class winger in front of Evra, and almost every touch can pose a threat to Manchester United's defense.

The youngster who has just risen this season said in an interview with the Daily Mail: "I don't have stage fright. I will treat my opponent as a young full-back in the reserve game. I focus on the game itself, not the atmosphere of the game." As a result, Evra really became a "rookie full-back" in front of Albrighton.

In the 15th minute of the game, Albrighton won a complete victory against Evra for the first time. The young winger, who has been in the team's main position this season, shook Evra directly with a huge fake action, and then easily dodged the air to complete the cross before the interception of the make-up player.

In the 22nd minute, Albrighton made a comeback, and Evra blindly grabbed the ball. As a result, Albrighton lightly pulled the outside of his foot and shook Evra again to complete the cross. Fortunately, Ferdinand, who was guarding the front point, pushed the ball out of the bottom line. In the 33rd minute, Evra made an amateur mistake in receiving his teammate's return pass in the backcourt. He stopped the ball to a position 10 meters away and was almost snatched by Albrighton, who was quickly inserted.

Former England coach Graham Taylor said depressedly in his half-time comment that he had never seen so many low-level passing errors in a Premier League game for so many years.

And Evra's nightmare is not over. In the second half of the game, Albrighton's performance was more active, and the former "world's first left-back" was almost teased by his opponents.

In the 46th minute, Albrighton shoveled Park Ji-sung from the back of the side, and then rushed to the left side of the penalty area with Ashley Yang. At this time, Evra had been left far behind. Unfortunately, the quality of Albrighton's cross is not high, otherwise Abanglaho, who had been in place in the middle, will get a one-handed van der. Sa's opportunity.

In the 53rd minute, Downing sent a high-quality cross from the left. Albrighton, who was only 1.75 meters tall, rushed out from behind Evra, headed the ball, and the ball passed the goal. In the 56th minute, the ball near the middle circle of Albrighton passed Evra, and then used the speed to attack for a long distance. Fortunately, Vidic made up for the position in time and intercepted the ball.

Evra's useless defense eventually led to bitter results. In the 70th minute, Abanglaho took the ball on the side. Evra lost his position in defense. Vidic had no choice but to pull to the side to make up the position. As a result, he was smashed by the opponent and passed it to the ball. Brown shoveled Ashley Young, who had already been in place behind his back. The referee decisively awarded a penalty. Ashley Yang hit the first record for Aston Villa.

In the 75th minute, Aston Villa launched a quick counterattack. Ashley Jan was empty on the left side of the road. Downing entered the middle of the low pass on the left side of the penalty area. Albrighton used speed to shake off Evra, pushed the empty goal and rewrite the score to 2-0.

Two goals were conceded, and Evra was to blame.

In addition to the flaws on the defensive end, Evra's proud left assists did not play its due destructive power.

Evra's only threatening pass appeared in the 31st minute. At that time, Manchester United got a free kick. Evra took a shot and rushed to the penalty area. Nani pretended to shoot but went straight to Evra, who passed the goal in front of the low pass near the bottom line.

In addition, Evra has few opportunities to show his face on the offensive end, especially after Nani attacked the left side in the second half of the game. Evra almost became a spectator beside Nani and could only watch Nani use his personal ability to create threats, but he could not help.

According to OPTA's post-match statistics, Evra has 41 passes in this game, only 32 times in place, with a pass success rate of 78.0%, including 25 successful passes in the front court, 78.1% pass success rate in the front court, and 0 counts of tackles, counter-offs and threats.

Sky Sports gave Evra the lowest 5 points in the game, and commented slightly conservatively: the whole game has not been in shape. On the other side, Albrighton got the highest 8 points in the game, winning the best in the game. Sky Sports's evaluation of him is: he never stopping, crossing wantonly, and getting a reasonable goal. It is worth mentioning that the German Transfer Market valued Albrighton at only 220,000 pounds, while Evra valued it at 23.76 million pounds, more than 100 times that of Albrighton.

I have to admit that Evra has passed the peak of her career due to her strong dependence on physical fitness in her own playing style.

Although Mourinho intended to bring it to Real Madrid this summer, in fact, Evra is only the second choice of the "madman" after the failure to introduce Ashley Cole. Although the two are of the same age, the decline of Evra's state is obviously faster than Ashley Cole, who is more elegant.

During the period of Manchester United's Triple Crown, Evera was once known as "the world's first left-back". At that time, with his abundant physical strength and comprehensive offensive and defensive ability, he was able to eat almost the whole left road. However, with the passage of time, Evra is now 29 years old. For a full-back, this age does not allow him to run back and forth as frequently as when he was young. Especially in the case of a week's double race, Evra's physical problems are more prominent.

More importantly, Evra also injured his ankle in the Manchester Derby in the middle of the week, and he and right-back Rafal were also included in the team's injury list.

But in this game, Rafal's position was replaced by Brown, but Evra still appeared on the field. Since October 30, Manchester United has played five games in 15 days, and Evra has started all the games, playing an average of one game in three days. Evra's age has not allowed him to bear such a game density. Ferguson must consider finding a qualified substitute for the once "most unstable player".

Another possibility is that Ferguson is not looking for Evra's substitute in the transfer market, but Evra's stand-in.

Manchester United will cleanse the team after this season, and Evra, which was previously considered to be included in the team's future plans, may be transferred by the team.

The Sun revealed that Ferguson has forgiven Rooney's previous attack on the club and plans to make him start against Wigan Athletic next Saturday.

Considering that Evra once criticized Rooney for not being worthy to wear a Manchester United jersey again, the relationship between the two will become a huge hidden danger in Manchester United's locker room.

There are rumors of Evra's recent transfer to Real Madrid, which also seems to indicate that the former left-handed Tianzun is likely to leave Manchester United. The player, who only spent 5.5 million pounds to introduce by Manchester United, is expected to bring about 20 million pounds of transfer income to the team. From a business point of view, this is undoubtedly a successful deal, but from a competitive point of view, Ferguson wants to find a young player who can completely replace Evra. I'm afraid it's not that easy to live.

Manchester United escaped from the road and finally took 1 point from Villa Park. After the game, Ferguson admitted that the Red Devils were lucky enough to get 1 point.

"We may have lost 6 goals in the second half. They hit the door frame twice, and their right wing Albrighton wasted two absolute chances. Otherwise, frankly speaking, we are already finished. We waited too long to find **, the kind of ** who is eager to win in our game. We didn't show it until we fell behind by 0-2.

"Villa players are playing with blood. Many of today's tackles are reasonable and many are unreasonable, but the referee has always allowed the game to be played. We saw a great game today. You must give great praise to the Villa players for their continuous ** in 90 minutes. They have been shoveling, fighting, and the boiling stands have inspired them to do so. Their young players and their energy make today a difficult day for us.

"Today is different from the away games we drew before, and we are worried that we will lose points as before. But when you fall behind 0-2 and the game is only 10 minutes away, you will be happy that you can finally get 1 point.

Manchester United's next round of the league will be against Wigan Athletic on the 20th of this month, and Ferguson confirmed that Rooney may be able to play at that time. According to Manchester United's official website, Rooney will meet with his teammates next Monday, where he will undergo a physical examination. If he passes the physical examination, he will play for Manchester United again, and this game is likely to be the league against Wigan next Saturday.

Rooney had a good week in the United States, and he trained very hard. We have achieved what we want. He has two days to complete two training classes a day, and the other three days to complete three training classes a day. Ferguson told the reporter of Sky Sports.

Li Yu is still the most stable person in Manchester United, with one goal and one assist to protect Manchester United with one point.

Many reporters have also played a regularity of Li Yu this season. The second half of the second half suddenly broke out, and the scoring efficiency is amazing. The intensity of defense that Li Yu has to face in various games this season is unprecedentedly strong, but the data we see is still gorgeous. Li Yu's performance in the second half of the second half has become the key.

When the opponent's physical fitness declines, the power of Manchester United No. 9 will completely burst out. Of course, there will be no continuous entanglement before. In the second half of the second half, the opponent's physical fitness will not become so unbearable.

Li Yu has become the only guarantee for Manchester United's attack. Does the offensive ability of the Premier League overlord really suffer from dependence?

Not to mention whether there is dependence or not, at least Manchester United don't have to worry about the attack power now.

Before retirement, Ferguson was still trying to find a suitable replacement for Manchester United's goalkeeper.

Norway's Alsances club officially announced that the team's goalkeeper Lindgaard will join Manchester United in January, but the statement has since been deleted. However, almost all media in the UK have confirmed that Lindgaard will join Manchester United for a transfer fee of 3.5 million pounds in the winter.

The 26-year-old Lindgard has played for the Danish team four times so far. In the warm-up match with the Czech team in the middle of the week, the gate guarded by Lindgard was not broken by his opponent. The Sun said that Manchester United signed Lindgaard because Ferguson thought he was experienced, very cheap and cost-effective. Lindegaard has been a Manchester United fan since he was a child and regards Manchester United's legendary goalkeeper Schmeichel as his idol, but Schmeichel is not optimistic about his little compatriot. He thinks that Lindgaard is not worthy of Manchester United, and Ferguson made a serious mistake in this matter.

In an interview last week, Schmeichel said that he was very optimistic that Reina would take over Van der Sar. He "didn't believe the rumors of Lindgaard's joining Manchester United at all."

But now, the rumor has been confirmed. When asked if Lindgaard is worthy of England's rich family, Schmeichel replied very simply, "No. We are talking about Manchester United now. You can bring in talented players. You can buy excellent young players, but you don't want to bring him in.

Manchester United's No. 1 goalkeeper must have the ability to guard for Manchester United in 80% of the games. There are too many goalkeepers to choose from, but the basic criterion is that he can play well and win trophies for the club. Manchester United's goalkeeper must be very, very high-level and experienced.

Although Schmeichel is not optimistic about Lindegaard, Denmark is infinitely close to Manchester United. According to The Guardian, Alsance Club CEO Hoff and Chairman Hagenson will fly to England today to complete the final negotiations on the agreement. Solskjaer's agent Solbaaken is a match between the two clubs, and Ferguson hints that Manchester United is worth taking a risk on Lindegaard.

This summer, Manchester United sold the third goalkeeper Foster to Birmingham; after the end of this season, Van der Sar, who turned 40, is likely to announce his retirement; while the second goalkeeper Kuzzzak has never won Ferguson's trust. The Guardian said that the Polish national goalkeeper may also leave next summer. Although Ferguson is very optimistic about 20-year-old Amos, he is very inexperienced. Therefore, Manchester United may buy two goalkeepers in a row, while Lindgard may only be the second goalkeeper.

British media claimed yesterday that Manchester United are about to buy 20-year-old Spanish talented goalkeeper De Gea for a transfer fee of 15 million pounds.

However, Atletico Madrid chairman Enrique Serrezzo refuted reports that a De Gea franchise agreement was about to be reached with Manchester United. He insisted that Atletico Madrid did not talk about De Gea with anyone, and the Spanish goalkeeper's contract with Atletico Madrid would expire in 2013. In an interview with Spain's newspaper As, Serrezzo said, "No one has talked to us about this, and no one has asked us anything about the agreement. We hope that he will be an Atletico player for a long time to come.

Although President Atletico Madrid refutes the rumor, Lord Ferg will not easily give up De Gea, whom he personally inspected.

Earlier this season, Ferguson and Manchester United goalkeeper coach Steele went to the scene to watch De Gea's performance. The Guardian said that Manchester United is likely to buy two goalkeepers in a row, namely De Gea and Lindegaard, to let De Gea take over van der Sa and Lindgaard to replace Kuzzzzak. If it is really difficult to buy De Gea, Dutch goalkeeper Stecklenburg, German goalkeeper Neuer, French goal Loris, and Russian goalkeeper Akinfeev are all the goals that the Lord can buy. However, Reina, who is highly favored by Schmeichel, is almost impossible to join Manchester United, because Liverpool is unlikely to be in the mood to follow. Manchester United made this deal.

However, the offside website said that Manchester United is likely to introduce the Italian goalkeeper Buffon next summer.

Barzalini, Italy's popular Mediaset and most respected football reporter in Italy, revealed this week that Manchester United is the only player who is really chasing Buffon. As long as Buffon recovers from his injury and can often play in Serie A, Manchester United will introduce the 32-year-old Buffon next summer. Previously, Italian media also revealed that Buffon has been looking for a house in Manchester.

It is not known whether Ferguson will buy De Gea or Buffon, but it is almost certain that Manchester United's number one goalkeeper next season will not be Lindegaard.

In the later Premier League, Manchester United finally came out of the back-to-back draw.

Wigan won all 11 games in Manchester United's history, scoring 35 goals and conceded only 4 goals, especially last season with two 5-0 double kills. Rooney recovered from his injury and entered the bench, which was the first time he entered the lineup since renewing his contract.

Wigan did not attract enough attention from the Lord, and Li Yu did not appear on the list.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United finally found the feeling of facing the ball. In fact, Ferguson's self-confidence is also well-founded. There is no need to work hard to face Villa Manchester United at home.

Evra, who did not perform well in the last round, took the lead for Manchester United.

Manchester United broke the deadlock in the 45th minute. Park Ji-sung made a cross from the right, Evra headed the ball on the left edge of the penalty area, and the ball bounced back into the net. This is his first goal for Manchester United since April 2007 and his first league goal in four years.

Manchester United expanded the score in the 77th minute, Rafaar made a cross from the right, and the unguarded Hernandez made a header from 10 yards.

2:0, winning Villa, so that Manchester United finally caught up with Chelsea's points, with the same score as the top Chelsea in the first game.
