Manchester United's recent games have been drowned in the bombardment of the Premier League's "Fast Food War".

The attention of the outside world seems to have shifted from Manchester United's imposing record to the more gimmicky player conflict after the game.

Overall, the draw at the Emirates Stadium was a slight setback to Manchester United's morale.

If you put aside the game, Manchester United should be satisfied.

It can be thought of that it started with a nine-game winning streak, led twice in the game and was finally tied by Arsenal. Even though it was at the Emirates Stadium, it still made Manchester United very dissatisfied.

Manchester United's draw with Arsenal has benefited Chelsea.

Chelsea, which won the tenth round, shortened the point gap with Manchester United from 7 points to 5 points, and at the same time widened the gap with Arsenal, from 6 points to 8 points.

In the midweek League Cup, Manchester United challenged Manchester City again. Mourinho sent a large number of young players and substitutes to compete in the League Cup. Cui Zhen was simply not included in the squad. He has to deal with the next league and Champions League matches.

Manchester United beat Manchester City 2:1 to advance to the next round, and the young players in the team got reasonable exercise.

Due to Pogba's minor injury, Mourinho sent a combination of Mkhitaryan, Fellaini, Cui Zhen and Martial for the weekend's home game against Southampton.

Martial has obviously recovered from his state a week ago, while Herrera has just returned, and there were no frequent outbreaks in the game. The biggest highlights of Manchester United in the game were Cui Zhen and Martial.

But the process of the game was full of twists and turns.

Cui Zhen took the lead in assisting Martial to score in the 20th minute of the first half, and then an unexpected picture appeared.

Southampton's strikers, Charlie Austin and Tadic, each scored a goal before the end of the first half to complete the reversal!

Mourinho kept his head down in thought as he walked back to the dressing room.

In the first half, Manchester United's midfield system had problems, mainly in defense.

Regardless of whether it is Fellaini or Mkhitaryan behind Cui Zhen, if Cui Zhen senses that the teammates behind him are going to step forward, or that the forward line needs more threats from the rear, then Cui Zhen will take off the organizational task and go decisively. forward.

But in terms of player characteristics, Mkhitaryan's forward enthusiasm and Fellaini's forward enthusiasm exist at the same time.

This broke the previous balance of complementary cooperation and matching of Manchester United's double midfielders.

Going forward, Mkhitaryan's partner is Martial. Mkhitaryan is a character who can attack and defend well, but this is not absolutely safe, because even a world-class midfielder cannot guarantee every time he rushes up. Can play offensively in the frontcourt.Make it impossible for the opponent to launch a quick counterattack.

And when the opponent hits a counterattack, especially in England's very fast-paced arena, it is basically difficult for the midfielder to go to the frontcourt and then chase back to the penalty area to form a barrier. The fast midfielder may be able to chase back Defense, but chasing back and frontal defense have become passive from the situation.

So Martial next to Mkhitaryan is also good.Regardless of Pogba in the last two seasons, he has become a stable defensive front barrier, at least ensuring that Manchester United's defense has the defensive level of the iron triangle even if it is counterattacked.

But when Fellaini and Mkhitaryan are paired together, if the two move forward together and are counterattacked by the opponent, then the back waistline is completely defenseless.

Not to mention that the two actually clashed in terms of responsibilities during the halftime offense.

This was an important reason why Manchester United was defeated by the opponent's counterattack in the first half. Without a reasonable defensive level, it was too easy for the opponent to counterattack.And it has little to do with the personal ability of the defensive players, it is a strategic failure!
Mourinho feels a headache about this. If Mkhitaryan is not allowed to participate in the offense, Mkhitaryan will definitely not be happy. He has the ability to organize and assist in the midfield, why not use it?
But it is absolutely impossible for Fellaini to play an engineer defensive midfielder.Even if Fellaini is willing, Mourinho is afraid that he will not be able to sleep.

In any case, focusing on the changes in this game, Mourinho gave Mkhitaryan an order at half-time.Let him stay firmly on the midfielder line to ensure that there will be no more problems with the defense!

Mkhitaryan put the overall situation first, and naturally agreed without any objection. As long as Pogba returns from injury, he will naturally resume his previous role.

In the second half, Manchester United's defensive performance immediately improved. Southampton, who came to Old Trafford to defend and counterattack, did not have a good chance, and as time passed, their offensive enthusiasm became less and less.

Manchester United began to put pressure on their opponents through long-range radio frequency.

If Herrera is at his peak, Manchester United can break through the opponent's iron barrel formation through more delicate ground passes and cuts, but when Herrera can only play a role in the contribution of stable passing and receiving, Manchester United can only break the dense defense. Can rely on individual breakthroughs, long shots, and set balls.

When Manchester United fans began to worry again, Manchester United equalized the score in the 69th minute by Martial from outside the penalty area, which was a world wave.

After 4 minutes, Martial was brought down by the opponent on the left side outside the penalty area and got a free kick. Cui Zhen took the free kick and scored!

Manchester United scored two goals in 5 minutes to reverse the score!
The score did not change any more. In fact, before Cui Zhen scored, Southampton's substitution adjustment was to strengthen the defense, but Manchester United knocked the gate open with a free kick. Southampton had no choice but to swallow their anger. Accept the reversal but encounter the fate of anti-reversal.

Mourinho was excited after the game.

Cui Zhen integrated into Manchester United and began to become a key man in Manchester United's offense.He will provide assists, he will also score key goals when the team needs someone to step up, and his status is already unshakable.

Mourinho praised Cui Zhen after the game. He said: "He integrated into Manchester United faster than I expected. Martial who scored twice? I am not surprised by Martial's performance! So I think we Time to talk about Cui Zhen, who has adapted well to the Premier League and is starting to make a name for himself here.

His game statistics in the past two months are extremely dazzling. If you have seen Cui Zhen's attitude in training and understand his professionalism, then maybe we shouldn't be surprised. But for young players, I think we still need to give them more encouragement and encouragement. Trust me, I believe Cui Zhen will be better.Now Cui Zhen has grown into a truly world-class player, and I believe his country will officially become one of the world's top football powers because of his existence! "

The news in England is updated quickly, because here is the European news center. The news of the game with Manchester United a week ago has become uninterested after a week.

Ball critics or writers from many media in the sports world unanimously agreed with Mourinho's remarks.

"Cui Zhen has become the key man of Manchester United!"

"3:2 Bolton, 2:2 Arsenal, 3:2 Southampton, in addition to those games where he scored and Manchester United's big score bloodbathed the opponent, Cui Zhen scored key goals in the above three games The ball, his goal brought Manchester United at least 5 points, it seems less, but considering that he missed the previous 4 Premier League games, in fact he only played 6 Premier League games, but he was able to directly win for the team 5 points, excluding the assists and goals he contributed in other winning games, we can say that this Chinese teenager has become an important member of Manchester United on the road to the league title!"

"The prestige of one person can move the position of a country."

……

As time goes by, the temperature drops more obviously. There is no rainy season and dry season in England, and the precipitation is relatively average throughout the year, which means that there are almost 10 days of rain every month on average.

However, raining when the temperature is high and raining when the temperature is low will naturally give people different feelings.

For technical teams, rain will definitely affect their performance. For teams that pay attention to ground passing and cutting, the wet-slippery field will naturally affect efficiency, and it will also affect ball-handling skills.

在欧冠小组赛第四场比赛中，崔朕在老特拉福特球场与队友们成功以2:1击退来访的帕纳辛纳克斯，以4战3胜1平的战绩高居小组榜首，psv埃因霍温以3胜1负落后曼联1分排在No.2。

Manchester United leads the No.3 Panathinaikos by as many as 6 points, basically securing the qualifying spot, but if they want to fight for the top spot in the group, the next game against PSV Eindhoven must not be missed .

The third game in a row in 8 days made Manchester United suffer.

In the 12th round of the Premier League, Manchester United was a guest at Crystal Palace. The opponents put up an iron bucket formation to guard against death. Due to the rainy weather, they took advantage of defender Bayi's mistake to score the first goal. It was not until the end of the game that Mkhitaryan scored the equalizer in a corner kick. The goal enabled Manchester United to retreat from Schehurst Park.

The competitive situation of the Premier League this season becomes clear when the schedule is approaching 1/3.

Hutch meeting?But the protagonists are no longer Manchester United and Arsenal, but Manchester United and Chelsea.

Even though Manchester United achieved a brilliant start of the new season with 10 wins and 2 draws, they are only 3 points ahead of Chelsea.As for Arsenal's loss to Portsmouth in the last round, Manchester United has already opened up a gap of 16 points. The league has only played 12 rounds.

This means that Arsenal's loss of the qualification to compete for the league title is not hype, because Arsenal will not only reverse Manchester United by as many as 16 points, but also reverse Chelsea by 13 points!
Only one opponent is still possible, but it is hoped that both Chelsea and Manchester United will be reversed at the same time. This situation becomes unlikely, especially since Arsenal did not show enough strength this season to aspire to the league championship.

The Premier League schedule is tight.Cui Zhen began to have a personal experience of the high intensity of the competition. In a certain period of time, there was almost one competition every four days on average.

No, the league, the Champions League, the league, such an 8-day cycle of three games has just been played, and the League Cup is in front of us three days later.

He felt that his physical fitness was too much. Fortunately, Mourinho would let him rest in the League Cup.Will not enter the game squad at all.

Manchester United defeated Everton 3:1 in the League Cup with a rotating lineup, and successfully reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup this season.
