Chapter 473 Benefits of Single-Line Combat
When I came to the Premier League, the away game was 5-0. No one expected that the Red Devils, who were out of the UEFA Europa League in the middle of the week, would send such a hearty goal feast for the fans only three days later.
In the game, we can't see the impact of the double game of the week on the physical fitness of Manchester United, nor can we feel the frustration caused by the three consecutive defeats in Europe. The disciples of Ancelotti only show the spirit of the whole team and their firm belief that they will win the 21st championship.
Before this game, Manchester United led the league with 67 points in 28 rounds. In the history of the Premier League, only the 06/07 season, Manchester United scored higher points in the same period than now. That season, Manchester United scored 69 points in the first 28 rounds and finally won the championship two rounds ahead of time without any suspense.
Now, in the case of one more game, Manchester United's lead in the table has expanded to 4 points, and there are only three goal-to-goal disadvantages left. 5-0, this is an almost perfect away score. You should know that the biggest away victory in the history of the Premier League is only 8-1, and this record was created by Manchester United in the match against Nottingham Forest in February 1999. As we all know, Manchester United won the Champions League, League and FA Cup in that season.
It is worth mentioning that Manchester United has scored 73 goals after 29 rounds, which is the best data of England's top league since the 63/64 season. In the season 48 years ago, Tornanum scored 75 goals in the first 29 rounds. In the history of Manchester United, being able to score so many league goals in the same period can be traced back to the reign of Sir Busby in the 57/58 season 54 years ago, when they scored 74 goals in 29 rounds.
Gary Neville revealed that Manchester United's players are no longer satisfied with winning the game, and "goal goal" and "no play-offs" have become new topics in Manchester United's locker room. For such a proud result, Rooney also said slightly excitedly after the game: "We played great. We got important points in the critical stage of the season sprint. This is the best game we have played in the league since the whole season. After experiencing the defeat in the middle of the week, this is a very powerful knot. Fruit."
When God closes a door, he will also open a window for you.
The successive outs of other events now seem to be more like removing obstacles for Manchester United's epic 20 crowns.
Ancelotti said in an interview with Manchester United TV: "The players have come out of the shadow of failure. They have recovered very quickly and have a firm belief, because they know that the opportunity to win the league championship is coming."
Indeed, in the last 9 league games, Manchester United has achieved a horrible record of 8 wins and 1 draw, including defeating Liverpool, defeating Arsenal, and forcing a draw with Chelsea. Such Manchester United is definitely more likely to laugh to the end than Manchester City, which has internal and external troubles.
Ancelotti is also extremely proud of the team's achievements: "This is incredible. As we all know, we have experienced the most serious injury attack in history, which is very rare. At one time, I thought the situation had improved, but Jones got the flu after he came back. After Smarlin came back, he injured his head, Anderson's injury recurred, and Nani sprained his ankle... But none of this affected the team's pursuit. Their performance was really outstanding.
For Manchester City's competitiveness, An Shuai said frankly: "To be honest, I don't pay much attention to their games. I know that they will welcome difficult opponents like Arsenal and Chelsea, but for us, it is the most important thing to play every game well. Think too much. And it will disturb your thoughts and put yourself in a dangerous situation.
Nowadays, more and more people are optimistic that Manchester United can overwhelm Manchester City to win the championship.
Arsenal's legendary striker Ian Wright pointed out in an interview with The Sun: "Manchester's experience disadvantage was finally exposed. Manchester City has top players, but unlike Manchester United, Manchester City lacks championship experience. Manchester City often has ups and downs, while Manchester United knows how to stay stable. Even if they are not in good shape, they know how to play with a score of 1-0 in 90 minutes. Perhaps as people say, this is not the best Manchester United, but it is undeniable that Manchester United is still at the top, and they are in a position to victory.
Roy Keane pointed out: "If you don't get rid of Manchester United when he is in a bad state, you will eventually pay for it, just like Manchester City's current situation. Manchester United has changed from the position of pursuers to a four-point lead now. This situation is very similar to the scene of Manchester United's reversal of the championship a few years ago. If Manchester United can still win the league championship under such a difficult situation this season, they will become more difficult to beat next season. Therefore, this is almost Mancini's last Opportunity."
However, does Mancini still have a chance? Compared with Manchester United's next schedule, Manchester City's last 10 rounds of games are full of thorns, with Chelsea at home, away against Arsenal, and then there is a penultimate third round against Manchester United. If Mancini's team can't get out of the recent downturn for a long time, then the suspense of the league championship can't even wait for Manchester. Chester Derby has already been revealed.
In a blink of an eye, in the next round, Manchester United got another three points at Old Trafford. As the media said, they have lost the possibility of all other championships, and Manchester United can show their dominance in winning the league.
Of course, there is another person's credit for all this, that is Manchester United No. 9!
It's Li Yu again! The lightning strike against Liverpool was his only two yuan; the away victory over Tottenham Hotspur was his first record; he defeated West Bromwich Almwich at home, which was scored twice; in this game against Fulham, he won with a blow. Li Yu has scored 17 goals for Manchester United in the last 17 games. In the past 9 games, he has scored 11 goals. This is the suffocating Manchester United, and this is crazy Li Yu.
At home against Fulham, Manchester United did not seem excited at the opening stage. It seemed that the 8-day truce stranded the excellent state before the Red Devils, but Li Yu, who has always devoted himself to the game, is an exception. In just 8 minutes of the opening, he almost assisted Welbeck to score.
At that time, after Li Yu grabbed the front court and broke through to the penalty area at high speed. After attracting the attention of the three defenders, he divided the ball to the left in time. Unfortunately, Welbeck made a mistake in stopping the ball and missed the opportunity to make a single shot.
After that, the game reached an impasse, and the slow pace of attack and defense between the two sides depressed the fans for nearly half an hour. However, in the 42nd minute of the game, the turning point appeared. Mata smashed the defensive player on the left and sacrificed the iconic right-footed arc ball to pass. Evans, who was encircled at the back point, grabbed Riser's clearance error and knocked the ball back to the middle. Li Yu faced the empty goal overnight and instantly ignited the whole Old Trafford **.
This is Li Yu's sixth time in his career to break Fulham's goal in the league, which makes him become Fulham's number one natural enemy together with Yakub, Henry, Fanny and Viduka.
At the same time, Li Yu has also scored 26 league goals this season, which also made him equal to Van Persie, who scored 26 goals in the Premier League scorer list.
With 8 rounds left in the league, Li Yu is still expected to break her career record of 32 league goals in a single season set in the 09/10 season. Of course, Li Yu has scored 38 goals in various events this season, which is also expected to hit her career best data of 45 goals in a single season.
In addition, Li Yu's total number of goals in Manchester United has reached 175, only 4 goals away from the fourth-ranked superstar George Best and super striker Dennis Wiole. You know, the number of goals scored by Bobbi Charlton, the best scorer in Manchester United history, is only 249. Considering Li Yu's age of 23 and his stable goal rate of 30-40 goals per season in the last three seasons, Li Yu is expected to surpass Sir Bobi Charlton to become Manchester United as long as she does not transfer at the age of 26. The first shooter in history.
However, Li Yu's performance is not over yet. Since then, Manchester United No. 10 has sent a wonderful pass to his teammates many times. In the 46th minute, Li Yu crossed the five-person ecstasy and burst Fulham's entire defense line. Unfortunately, Mata, who was ready to single-handedly challenge the opponent's goalkeeper, was slightly offside.
In 56 minutes, Li Yu set up a fort for Mata again. His oblique plug ball helped his teammates break into the penalty area to form a single knife. Unfortunately, Manchester United's Magic Wing was knocked down by his opponent at the moment of rising. OPTA's post-match statistics show that Li Yu has sent three threatening balls in this game, second only to the right-handed Tianzun Valencia.
In the 79th minute, when Li Yu was replaced by Scholes, 75,570 fans in the audience applauded the team's goal hero and shouted Li Yu's name in unison. The tsunami-like hero hymn shocked the whole Old Trafford.
Fans are very clear that whether Li Yu can continue the current hot state is the success or failure of the team's 21 championship goal. Ancelotti replaced Li Yu in advance, which was also to stay for the final sprint. But even if she didn't play the whole game, Li Yu still got the highest 8 points in the post-match score of Sky Sports and was elected as the best player in the game without any suspense.
Of course, from the current situation, people don't have to worry about Li Yu's state and physical fitness at all. For Li Yu, he has not enjoyed the freehand of single-line combat for a long time, so there seems to be endless power in his body.
In the game against Wolves last weekend, Li Yu shot extremely casually when she warmed up before the game, and unexpectedly directly broke the wrist of the little caddie on the sidelines, which showed how terrible Li Yu's shot.
After Li Yu learned the news, she immediately publicly apologized to the little caddie and sent a letter of apology and a signed jersey to the Manchester United youth player named Jamie Tomasson.
However, I believe that any Manchester United fan will not care about Li Yu's reckless shot, because they are very happy to see such a strong shot of Manchester United No. 9, but they don't know whether the opponent's goalkeeper will reflexively feel a tight wrist when Li Yu shoots with all his strength in the game. Jue.
There is a lot of good news about Manchester United, but Manchester City always has rumors of infighting.
It's not someone else this time, or the "WhyAlwaysMe?" The players!
Barothely is in trouble again! Due to the absence of events in the middle of the week, the whole Manchester City team had a two-day holiday. Balothely got Mancini's permission to fly back to Milan to visit his relatives. Unexpectedly, Ba Shen broke into the scene of the press conference of the new coach of Inter Milan, causing laughter from Inter officials, coaches and reporters at the scene. No one expected that Balothely, who returned to Manchester, had sex with coach Mancini in the first training class.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the Mirror and the Daily Mail, Mancini and Balotelli clashed fiercely during Wednesday's training. The 47-year-old Mancini was very dissatisfied with Balotheli's slack performance on the training ground. He roared at Balotheli in a tactical training class and scolded Balotheli fiercely, and Balotheli naturally reacted fiercely. Lumbado, the assistant, came over and asked Balotheli to go somewhere else, so Balotheli left the training ground to take the physical fitness test.
From the photos taken by the photographer, it can be clearly seen that Mancini made a "FUCK" mouth shape, while the very depressed Balotheli leaned on a dummy used to train a free kick as a wall. I can't remember how many times Balothli has clashed with Mancini. Manchester City officials hope that it will be a big deal, saying that this is only caused by Mancini's high standards on the training ground. Since joining from Inter Milan for a transfer fee of 24 million pounds in August 2010, Balothely has been photographed twice on the training ground with his teammates, Jerome Boateng and Richards.
In recent weeks, Balotley has not performed well on the court, and his negative news off the court has made headlines in the media. 36 hours before Manchester City's home game against Bolton, Balothely ran to Liverpool in the early morning to watch the ** performance. When he left the ** club, he was photographed by the paparazzi. As a result, Balothely was fined for a week's salary. Previously, he was also scolded by Mancini for smoking too much, and even once smoked in the Manchester City locker room.
Earlier this season, a few hours before the Manchester derby, Balothely studied "rocket launch technology" in the bathtub in his apartment and set off fireworks, causing the house to catch fire. In the Manchester derby, after scoring the first goal for Manchester City, Balothely lifted the jersey to reveal the T-shirt inside. It says "WhyAlwaysMe?"
Yes, WhyAlwaysMe? Why is it Balotelly occupying the headlines of the newspaper? How many people in the world can understand the world of Ba Shen?
At the same time, there are only 8 rounds left in the Premier League this season, and Manchester's championship battle is getting fiercer. In addition to the full sprint on the field, the smell of gunpowder outside the field gradually thickened. After publicly saying that Manchester United (Weibo) asked Scholes, who has retired for half a year and is 37 years old, which is a desperate performance, Vieira attacked Manchester United for the second time in about a week. Manchester City's football development director publicly said that the referee gave Manchester United special care.
Obviously, Vieira refers to Manchester United's home game against Fulham in the 89th minute on Monday night. Carrick kicked down Danny Murphy in the penalty area, but referee Oliver deprived the obvious penalty. After Manchester United successfully scored 3 points, they overtovert their rival Manchester City in the table with 3 points. Considering that there are still 8 rounds left in the league, the 3-point lead will give Manchester United a lot of psychological advantage in the championship battle.
Vieira said that he did not watch the game between Manchester United and Fulham, but he still said in an interview with the BBC: "When Manchester United plays at home, they always have advantages that other teams do not have at home. When you are the leader, you always have an advantage, so Manchester United is popular.
When you visit Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona or AC Milan, it is always difficult for the referee to make a decision against these teams. That's why these teams have always maintained a winning posture. Therefore, we need to keep winning games in order to have this advantage in the future.
"We are very happy that Tevez is back. This episode happened between him and the club, but now the players are happy to see him play for Manchester City again. This is the moment that belongs to Manchester City. From the beginning of the season, we have always been the best team, and we play the best football.
Although Vieira insists that his remarks are not a direct criticism of Manchester United, Manchester United boss Ferdinand still fights back on his Weibo, "Why does Vieira care so much about Manchester United... He has commented on Manchester United twice in a week, save it, buddy, let go!"
However, later, the Manchester City Club refuted the rumor on its official website. The headline on Manchester City's official website was "Vieira is very disappointed and angry with the BBC's out-of-contense report. He thinks it is a very serious and intolerable distortion of facts."
Manchester City's official website also pointed out that Vieira was interviewed by the BBC at the event, but BBC reporter Rodin did not truthfully report the content of the interview, but took it out of context to say that Vieira bombard the referee, which is not all the truth.
Vieira said: "I am very angry with Roan's behavior. I made it clear twice during the interview that I did not mean to be dissatisfied with the referee. And I stressed that I didn't watch the match between Manchester United and Fulham, and I didn't see any relevant reports. This information was not mentioned at all in the interview, and the content of my conversation was taken out of context. I called the reporter twice to ask him to withdraw the manuscript and apologize. I think the BBC and Rodin are very disrespectful to me personally, the Manchester City Club and this charity event. The Manchester City Club has decided to issue a ban on Dan Roan from participating in any media activities in Manchester City.
