I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 397
A day later, at the Emirates Stadium, Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0. In this game, while Manchester City continued to pursue Manchester United, it also basically announced that Arsenal had been out of the Champions League seat.
Within a few days, Arsenal not only missed the League Cup title, but again suffered a miserable defeat at the feet of Manchester City in the Premier League, which made it emotionally difficult for the gun fans to accept.
At one time, they thought it was unacceptable to compete for four in the league, and thought that the “four madness” was an insult to them. But now, they found that the team even wanted to compete for four is an extravagant hope.
The 60,000 Arsenal fans who were extremely disappointed shouted the slogan “Wengerout!” in the Emirates Stadium.
Prior to this, although Arsenal fans shouted such slogans more than once, they were only a minority after all. But today, the voice of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans completely broke the professor’s heart.
At that moment, the 68-year-old gray-haired professor sitting on the coach’s bench covered his face with his hands, tears raging.
At 4 o’clock in the morning on March 6, Beijing time, the 29th round of the Premier League’s final battle began. Manchester United visited London to challenge the Crystal Palace.
A day ago, Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium defeated Chelsea 1-0 and suffered a two-game losing streak. In the competition for a Champions League seat, after Arsenal, they also fell behind.
According to reports, after this game, fierce conflict broke out within the Chelsea team. Hazard and other major players in the Blues, their dissatisfaction with Conte has accumulated to the extreme.
At the pre-match press conference on Monday afternoon, a reporter asked Ye Su about the Arsenal fans asking Wenger to dismiss get out of class.
Ye Su was silent for a long time, and then simply replied: “They will regret it!”
After saying this, Ye Su stopped answering any questions about this topic.
………………
Manchester United, who played in the rotation, suffered a hard fight at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace, ranked fourth from the bottom in the standings, gave Ye Su and Manchester United a glimpse of the fighting power of the Premier League relegation team.
In the 11th minute, the Crystal Palace midfielder took the ball to the top of the penalty area. Benteke received the ball to a point on the left and knocked it to the penalty area line. Townsend took the opportunity to push and the ball hit Ruben Dee. Yas bounced back into the net!
Romero is also helpless this ball, Manchester United trailed 0:1 away!
Although Manchester United subsequently launched several waves of offensive, but the players were helpless, and failed to score several times, and finally entered the halftime with a score of 0:1.
Ye Su was furious in the locker room and was very dissatisfied with the players’ performance in the first half. However, he did not make personnel adjustments.
Easy side to fight again. In the 49th minute, Manchester United’s midfielder intercepted a foul, and Crystal Palace made a quick free kick. Van Anholt turned offside and went into the penalty area. He shot from a small angle on the left and broke the goal!
2:0, this is even more difficult for Manchester United.
Under adversity, Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack!
In the 55th minute, Wan Bisaka made an oblique pass from the right, and Smallin’s header from the edge of the small penalty area went into the far corner to tie the score to 1:2.
In the 76th minute, after Manchester United’s continuous cooperation in the frontcourt, Rashford’s shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked and then deflected and hit the crossbar to bounce back. Mbappe caught the ball from the right in the penalty area and flashed past the opponent to block, and his left foot shot into the near corner. , To tie the score to 2:2.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Mbappe’s volley from outside the penalty area on the right was blocked. Bruno Fernández stopped the ball with his left foot and drew a world wave straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Manchester United finished the reversal 3:2!
Manchester United, who scored 3 points, reached 79 points and continued to beat Manchester City by 4 points, leading the Premier League standings. The losing Crystal Palace unfortunately fell into the Premier League relegation zone.
………………
Returning to Manchester from London, after a break of less than 5 days, Manchester United once again ushered in a heavyweight game: the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester United at Old Trafford, ushered in the second round of the double red club this season!
This is a strong dialogue between the top team and the third place in the Premier League!
After two and a half seasons in charge of Liverpool, Klopp’s team is finally on the right track, becoming a certain degree of competitiveness in the Premier League.
This season, Liverpool has long been among the top four in the Premier League standings, and is currently ranked third in the Premier League with 17 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses, with 59 points.
However, the gap between this third place and the top two is a bit too big. It is 20 points less than Manchester United, which is at the top of the list, and 16 points less than Manchester City, which is second!
For the Premier League title, Klopp has given up his mind a long time ago, and he has turned his attention to the Champions League arena.
However, in the face of rivals like Manchester United, even at Old Trafford, Klopp and Liverpool cannot surrender.
………………
For the two Red Clubs this season, the game time is 12:30 on Saturday, local time in the UK, which is what the British call the morning game.
No one likes to play at noon, especially a multi-line team like Manchester United, who has been in a double-match state for a long time, because the state is not good to adjust.
To give a simple example, everyone knows that on the day of a professional player’s game, everything, including eating, drinking, and sleeping, must have a certain time limit. The purpose is to ensure that the players can produce the best during the game. state.
If the game is in the afternoon or evening, it is better, but if it is at noon, it will be very troublesome.
By convention, the last tactical meeting is to be held before the game, and the meal time must be much earlier to ensure that the food is digested almost during the game and the players are at the point that is most conducive to the game.
Therefore, to do so many things, the players need to get up earlier than usual, and the rest time is not guaranteed.
This is only part of the player’s state adjustment, there are many other aspects.
All the work of a football club basically revolves around the game.
Is it no good to race at noon? Nor is it. Because according to the time difference, matches at noon are often catered to fans from the Asian region.
I don’t know if Ye Su is the manager of Manchester United. Anyway, after he entered Manchester United, the Red Devils played a lot more games at noon.
And this season’s two double red clubs, have been queued to noon.
………………
Although Manchester United has played a lot of games at noon, but still feel very uncomfortable. Of course, as an opponent, Liverpool is also not much better.
At the beginning of the game, both sides played fiercely. This is a consistent feature of the Double Red Club. The centuries-old grievances between Liverpool and Manchester United are often resolved through matches.
The players on both sides fought fiercely. The game entered a hand-to-hand battle with bayonet and blood from the beginning. They both played without reservation and fought against each other, but the players on both sides were not in good condition, and they both missed many opportunities. .
Manchester United is playing at home, Ye Su originally meant to control the midfield, but there was a problem. Liverpool knows Manchester United too well, so Ye Su dragged De Bruyne to the back and Mata played as a single midfielder.
In this position, it is inevitable that Mata has more opportunities to get and play the ball. But the problem is precisely here. Mata’s passing is indeed very good, and the effect is also very great, but the difference in confrontation is his weakness. In Liverpool’s three defensive midfielders Milner, Emre Can and With Chamberlain’s teamwork strangling, there were too many unnecessary pass errors.
Liverpool was in poor form, and it was indeed unable to fight the midfielder, but it specifically counterattacked Manchester United’s midfield pass and catch errors, creating several threatening offensives. On the contrary, it was Manchester United who had the advantage, but could not create a threat. The midfield and organization were a bit chaotic.
In the first half, the only bright spot for Manchester United was Rooney’s several personal breakthroughs and speed. But Klopp also significantly strengthened the restrictions on Rooney. Robertson was even more like a big enemy to him, so he didn’t dare to have the slightest bit. Lax.
In the end, both sides played zero to zero in the first half. The game was more than tragic, but not as exciting as it was. No one could score a goal. But overall, Manchester United still has the advantage.
………………
During the intermission, Ye Su was obviously aware of this problem and immediately made adjustments. Bruno Fernandez replaced Mata.
This adjustment immediately activated Manchester United’s frontcourt offensive.
Just one minute from the beginning of the second half, Manchester United created a very threatening offensive. Rooney made a pass from the right. The Senegalese central defender, who came to Liverpool from Manchester United to Liverpool in the winter transfer window, had a header to make a clearance, but Bruno Fernandez stepped in to follow up and shot directly with his left foot. , So that Liverpool were shocked by a cold sweat.
Just a minute later, De Bruyne sent a ball behind him. Rooney used his speed to force Robertson away. After breaking through to the baseline, he made a low pass. Harry Kane scored a low shot from eight meters in front of the goal, setting the first record for Manchester United!
1:0!
This goal completely broke the deadlock on the court. Subsequently, Manchester United launched a wave of offensive against Liverpool.
A century of grievances has made everyone at Manchester United, including more than 70,000 fans in the stands, almost crazy, and they have played passionately.
Manchester United, who played crazy, almost suppressed Liverpool in halftime.
Klopp quickly made a substitution, Wijnaldum replaced Chamberlain to strengthen the midfield defense.
Manchester United replaced Vardy with Rashford to strengthen the impact of the wing.
You come and I go with each other, the more you kick, the more fierce you are, and you gradually become hotheaded. First, Valencia fouled a Liverpool player when he was fighting for the ball with Mane, which caused his opponent to be forced off the court for treatment. Valencia also received a yellow card.
Subsequently, Rooney once again got a chance to counter offside, straight behind the team, Robertson tactical foul, but only got a yellow card.
Then, Salah broke through Maguire with the ball, and both fell into the penalty area with Van Dijk. The referee did not give a penalty.
………………
The contest between you and me has caused the temperature of Old Trafford to rise sharply. The one goal gap gave both sides hope. Liverpool want to tie, or even reverse, to curb Manchester United’s progress. However, there is indeed a gap between the strength and Manchester United, especially the midfielder is at a significant disadvantage, resulting in a passive scene.
The game became more and more tense, more and more tragic.
Until the 86th minute, Salah fouled Maguire and the referee blew his whistle. But in this case, Emre Jan didn’t close his foot, and fisted at De Bruyne, who was holding the ball.
The referee didn’t show any mercy, and he directly sent a red card to send Emre Can out of the court.
De Bruyne was not injured, but he received a punch and a black foot on his leg, which was a bit torn.
The smell of gunpowder in the game is so strong that it will explode at any time. Either you die or I die!
This is definitely the worst match Manchester United have experienced so far this season.
The game restarted, and Manchester United continued to launch an offensive. Even if he had one goal lead, but facing a century-old rival, the Red Devils still did not feel satisfied, and still tried to continue to expand the score.
Rooney is also very tired, but he is still looking for opportunities.
………………
Two minutes later, Manchester United had another chance on the left. After Rashford got the ball, he threw away Arnold and made a pass from the left.
In the middle of Liverpool’s goal, Harry Kane attracted the attention of the two central defenders, Lovren and the Senegalese central defender. However, the England center used his body to block the Liverpool central defenders and let the ball from his own. Leaked to the side.
In an instant, everyone was taken aback. But then they noticed that behind Harry Kane, a figure wearing a Manchester United red jersey was rushing into the penalty area.
“Rooney! It’s Rooney!!!”
Cheers from the audience!
Rooney chased up at a very fast speed, judging where the ball fell, kicked his legs hard, and the whole person flew forward and pushed forward.
Diving to the top!
………………
At this moment, time seemed to become very slow, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Rooney’s sprint just now was so fast that his jump seemed to be a glider flying on the turf of Old Trafford.
Under the attention of more than 70,000 fans, he firmly hit the ball that Harry Kane deliberately missed.
The football changed direction and crashed into the lower right corner of Liverpool’s goal. After Karius reacted, he didn’t even have time to make a save, and the ball had already been scored!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL!!!”
“The ball is in!!!”
“Wonderful diving to the top!”
“Rooney! The captain of Manchester United is the final word!”
“This ball is too crucial!”
“2:0! Liverpool didn’t have any chance~www.mtlnovel.com~Rooney killed the game!”
…
The live commentator at the Old Trafford Stadium issued a crazy roar, and all the fans in the stadium rushed out of their seats crazy, shouting crazy, calling Rooney’s name crazy.
Rooney fell to the ground, patted the turf excitedly, and laughed loudly.
Rooney is so happy to be able to help the team win with one shot and one pass in the match against his arch-rival Liverpool!
The fans in the audience also laughed loudly for fear that the world would not be chaotic.
Only Liverpool players, all of them bowed their heads and looked extremely frustrated.
Klopp is also full of depression, because his players’ performance today is really not ideal. Especially Salah, an Egyptian who he had high hopes for, was basically unable to make a threat on the right side, and his state seemed very sluggish.
