I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

During the period of the Gregorian New Year, other major leagues are in a truce, which makes the attention of the Premier League much higher than usual. And Manchester United tied and broke AC Milan's unbeaten record of 58 games in the five major leagues before and after the New Year, attracting the attention of the whole world.

Under the numerous reports all over the world, Manchester United once again attracted a wave of fans all over the world. Countless fans have joined the ranks of Manchester United.

Unbeaten in 59 top league games, 51 wins and 8 draws insanely, 161 points in all 177 points, averaging 2.73 points per game, such Manchester United is truly invincible!

However, what makes Manchester United very unhappy is that Manchester United, which performed so well, failed to rank first in the Premier League standings!

Because another team in Manchester has performed no less than Manchester United this season. After Manchester United defeated Everton, Manchester United, which had 17 wins and 3 draws, reached 54 points. And Manchester City's record at the moment is 18 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 56 points!

A day later, Blue Moon, who was sitting at the Etihad Stadium, defeated Watford 3:1, and the points rose to 59 points. In the case of 2 more games, they continued to lead Manchester United by 5 points!

The competition for the Premier League title in the new season is more intense than imagined. With the hot state shown by the Manchester City duo, I am afraid that a runner-up team with super high points will be born.

………………

After entering 2018, the Premier League team's FA Cup will also start.

On the first weekend of 2018, the third round of the FA Cup kicked off. Manchester United played against Derby County at Old Trafford.

This is the confrontation between the second place in the Premier League and the second place in the English Championship. The two teams with a difference of 20 places in the rankings are too different in strength. Even Manchester United, who played again with a full bench lineup, still bloodbathed their opponents with a score of 4:0.

In the game, Rashford and Mbappe scored successively, and basically ended the suspense of the game in the first half. In the second half, Lingard helped Manchester United seal the victory, and Mbappe scored another goal at the last moment to lock the score at 4:0. In terms of assists, Bruno Fernandez staged a hat-trick of assists, shining the audience.

In the next round of the FA Cup draw at noon on Monday, Manchester United continued to be with good luck. They drew Yeovil, who is ranked 20th in the League Two. From the current point of view, there is a difference of 87 places between the two teams in the professional football field in England!

It can be said that this may already be the weakest opponent among the top 32 in the FA Cup.

………………

In the middle of the week, the English League Cup semi-finals start.

This season, the teams that broke into the semi-finals of the League Cup are all well-known teams in the Premier League: Manchester City duo + London duo!

As a result, in the previous draw, the four teams from the two cities fought against each other. Manchester United faced Manchester City, and Chelsea faced Arsenal.

At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester United's main force, which has been recuperating since entering 2018, faced Manchester City, which is also outstanding.

Before the game started, Manchester City's head coach Pep Guardiola and Ye Su shook hands on the sidelines and exchanged pleasantries. The two were chatting and laughing, and seemed to hit it off.

Guardiola congratulated Ye Su for breaking AC Milan's unbeaten record in the five major leagues, praised Manchester United for playing beautifully, praised Ye Su for being a talented young coach, and said that Manchester City will be very difficult in this game.

Ye Su complimented me by saying that you are my role model. What I have achieved now is not worth mentioning in front of you. In this game, Manchester United will face a team worthy of respect.

Both of them were more polite, and they seemed to be sympathetic to each other, but when they turned around, both of them had serious expressions.

Both sides are eager to win.

Because this is the League Cup semi-final. Although it is a two-round system, no one wants to lose in the first round.

………………

When Ye Su walked to the coaching bench of the visiting team, the starting lineups of the two sides for this game were also displayed on the big screen at the Etihad Stadium.

Both sides have formed an aggressive 433 lineup.

For Manchester United, goalkeeper Romero, back four Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Valencia, three midfielders De Bruyne, Fellaini and Mata, striker trident Vardy, Harry Kane and captain Wayne Rooney.

For the home team Manchester City, goalkeeper Bravo, back four Zinchenko, Mangala, Stones and Kyle Walker, three midfielders Gundogan, Fernandinho and Pogba, three forwards Sane , Sterling and Bernardo Silva.

Not only are the starting lineups of both sides star-studded, but the two teams are also star-studded on the bench.

Manchester United's seven substitutes are Dean Henderson, Smalling, Ashley Young, Fellaini, Bruno Fernandez, Rashford and Lingard.

For Manchester City, on the bench are Ederson, Danilo, Delph, Yaya Toure, Brassin Diaz, Adarabihoyo and Argentine striker Aguie who has returned from injury Lo!

Ye Su was sitting on the coach's seat, holding Manchester City's starting materials in his hand, looking at the name on it, the player's information, the position he is good at, his characteristics and even his profession immediately appeared in his mind. career history etc.

"Manchester City formed the strongest lineup they can." assistant coach Carrick said to Ye Su.

"This will be the strongest opponent we have ever met." Ye Su nodded.

………………

Twenty-five minutes into the game, the score on the court is still 0:0, and neither side has scored yet.

Although the score was 0:0, the combined number of shots between Manchester United and Manchester City has reached fifteen times. Among them, Manchester United has eight shots and Manchester City has seven shots.

From the data, it can be seen that both sides have shown a strong willingness to attack. Ye Su has already given the team the order to win. Such a tough battle must be won with all efforts, and Manchester City is also not to be outdone.

"The game has been played for 28 minutes. In terms of the number of fouls, Manchester United has 7 fouls and received a yellow card. Manchester City fouled 9 times and received a yellow card." The commentator Lineker said, "Although the score is 0 :0, but we can see the intensity of the game from the statistics."

The two sides are hoarding troops in the midfield, and they both want to compete for control of the midfield. On the court, people are turned on their backs from time to time, especially on the Manchester United side. Ye Su solemnly reminded De Bruyne before the game that today's game , He must also do his best to help Kanter defend. Therefore, the audience saw that De Bruyne, who gave people the impression that he was defensive before, was desperately participating in the defense today because of his thin body and fear of fighting.

………………

In such a fierce game, both sides fought with sparks, and it seemed that no one was sure to break the opponent's goal. At this time, a flash of the player's football talent finally changed the course of the game.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney suddenly dribbled the ball from the middle, and Manchester City's midfielder Fernandinho stepped forward to intercept it.

Rooney made a gesture to make a breakthrough from the middle, but suddenly passed the football, and Mata caught the ball.

After Mata took the ball, he knocked the football back to De Bruyne. He turned around and ran forward. De Bruyne flicked his ankle and passed the football.

People thought that De Bruyne passed to Mata who had already moved, but they did not expect De Bruyne to pass to Rooney on the right.

Rooney stretched out his foot to pad the football, and then suddenly started to speed up, beautifully avoiding the left-back of Manchester City, the young player Zinchenko's upper grab, and after he caught up with the football, he did not make a pass from the bottom, but Pogba Under the defense of Mangala, he suddenly cut inside and went straight to the penalty area.

This change was beyond the expectations of Manchester City's defensive players.

Guardiola shouted anxiously on the sidelines, directing the team's defense.

Manchester City's goalkeeper Bravo was also shouting loudly, directing his teammates to chase and intercept Rooney.

………………

After Rooney attracted the three defensive players of Manchester City, he did not continue to break through. Instead, he suddenly stopped and made a move to pass the ball to Vardy, who also made a move to come over to respond.

This immediately attracted the attention of Manchester City's defenders, and Fernandinho immediately moved his body, trying to block the passing line.

Almost following Fernandinho's action, Rooney, who had no shooting angle, immediately saw a small shooting route.

Vardy, who was going to pass the ball to Rooney, made an instant change. He buckled the football back, and then suddenly shot a long shot directly at the top of the penalty area.

In the restricted area with human legs, Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo has been nervously paying attention to the situation in front of the restricted area, and then he saw a flash of white light, this is a long shot!

Bravo's reaction was not unpleasant, he fought hard to save, and really succeeded in saving the ball, but Rooney's shot was very powerful, and it hit the top corner of the goal. Bravo barely held the ball, but still Nothing could stop the football going forward.

As Bravo slumped in front of the goal, he looked up to see the ball flying into the net behind him.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!!"

Rooney rushed to the corner flag where the Manchester United fans were, amidst John Mortensen's high-pitched voice.

………………

Seeing that the team lost the ball, Guardiola patted the seat angrily.

"Our players were drawn to Vardy," assistant coach Arteta said beside him.

Guardiola nodded. Although Vardy is not the most dazzling star in Manchester United, he has been in good form recently. Especially on the first day of the new year, when Manchester United was a guest at Goodison Park, it was Vardy's goal that helped Manchester United equalize the score and sounded the clarion call for Manchester United to counterattack.

There is no doubt about Vardy's threat. You can't ignore the running position of such a threatening player, which instead gives Rooney space and opportunities to shoot.

However, Guardiola also has to admit that Rooney is worthy of being a superstar who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Messi. His goal is very beautiful. He dribbles the ball from the side, smashes the ball inside, and shoots. All actions are done in one go, and the quality of the shot is also very good. high.

………………

Manchester City deserves to be the team that can overwhelm Manchester United in the Premier League standings. Although they are 0:1 behind, Manchester City's players did not show panic. The goal launched a more violent offensive.

"Manchester City's offensive is too fierce." Carrick said with some concern.

Ye Su didn't speak, he stared at the field, the opponent's performance after losing the ball really surprised him.

City's attacking efforts paid off towards the end of the first half.

Manchester City's midfielder Pogba was knocked to the ground by De Bruyne, and the home team won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Pogba's free kick flew into the penalty area, and Manchester United goalkeeper Romero chose to attack. He tried to knock the ball out.

However, Romero made a mistake in judging the football's placement. He barely touched the football, but the football did not go out of the penalty area, which caused chaos in the Manchester United penalty area.

In the chaotic battle, Manchester City striker Sterling showed his advantages of quick response and speed. He took the first kick before the Manchester United central defender cleared the siege, and kicked the ball to Pogba who was plugging in behind. .

The French midfielder blasted the ball into Manchester United's goal.

After scoring the goal, Pogba was very excited. He celebrated wildly amidst the cheers of the home fans, and even looked at Ye Su provocatively.

In the summer of 2016, Pogba originally wanted to return to Manchester United from Juventus, and he even took the initiative to ask his agent Raiola to contact Manchester United.

However, the result disappointed Pogba, and Manchester United did not make an offer to Juventus at all.

In the end, the French midfielder joined Blue Moon Manchester City at a record-breaking price of 105 million euros that summer.

Since then, Pogba has been very excited every time he played against Manchester United. He wanted to prove to Ye Su that it was Ye Su's huge mistake not to introduce him.

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Paul Pogba! The French midfielder equalized the score for Manchester City! 1:1! Before the end of the first half, Manchester City's attack finally paid off!" Lineker shouted. As a commentator who leaves the field with a neutral attitude, he undoubtedly hopes to see the field in a state of evenness, so that such a game looks interesting.

Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand, who explained the game with Lineker, said: "This time, Manchester United's defense made a mistake. Maguire didn't come out to block Pogba's shot in the first place. It gave him a chance to take a shot with his feet."

"Manchester United's goalkeeper Romero has to bear greater responsibility for this goal, and his attack was a bit reckless." John Mortensen said.

Ye Su was furious on the sidelines, and he shouted loudly into the arena.

For conceding the ball, Ye Su was not unprepared, but losing the ball because of his own mistakes and confusion made him a little upset.

And the loss of the ball at this time point is really depressing. Seeing that we were about to enter the break with a leading score, but the opponent scored a goal at the last minute to equalize the score, which is really unacceptable.
