Chapter 307 Goodbye Liverpool

On January 2017, 1, in the No.2 round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged West Ham United away.

In the first half of the season, Manchester United was tied by West Ham United at home, but this time they did not give their opponents another chance, but controlled the rhythm of the game. In the end, they took away three points [-]-[-] away.

On the other side, there is also good news for Manchester United: Chelsea lost [-]-[-] away to Tottenham in this round of the game after [-] consecutive victories.

In this way, the two teams have the same points, and Manchester United once again reached the top of the standings by virtue of their large goal difference advantage!

Liverpool, which was originally No.3, is still No.3, but they drew away with Sunderland in the relegation zone in this round, so the point difference with Manchester United and Chelsea has been widened to five points, gradually losing the possibility of winning the championship.

Of course, Manchester United's return to the top of the list will not let them relax. First, they are currently fighting in the fourth line. The only thing that makes them relieved is that the League Cup has reached the semi-finals and is about to end; second, Chelsea's opponent in this round is Tottenham.

……

On January 1, the FA Cup, Manchester United against Reading Club in the British Championship.

Given that the league is now at a critical time, although Manchester United is the defending FA Cup champion, it still rotates a large number of players, and only a few main players who have been rotated before are in the lineup.

In the end, Manchester United beat their opponents [-]-[-] at home and advanced to the next round.

……

On January 1, the League Cup semi-final, Manchester United played against Hull City at home.

The semi-finals of the League Cup are different from the schedule at other times. It is a home and away game. So after this game, Manchester United will play an away game against Hull City. Compare the total score of the two rounds to see who advances to the final.

Now in the semi-finals, Mourinho also sent most of the main players, and finally defeated the opponent [-]-[-] and gained a two-goal advantage.

After this game is over, it will usher in the Premier League No. 20 round against Liverpool.

In the game against Liverpool in the first half of the season, the two teams drew one to one. At that time, Manchester United lacked the main force and played away games, so this result was acceptable for the Manchester United players, but the Liverpool players could not bear it. This game is also gearing up to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.

In the previous game of this round, Chelsea had defeated Leicester City 2-[-], so as long as Manchester United did not win this game, they would fall to No.[-] again.

So the pressure on the Manchester United players is not small.

The league is like a long-distance race. Sometimes it is supported by one breath. Once discouraged, it is very likely that you will not be able to continue.

In addition to the other Manchester United players, Shen Peng is also under a lot of pressure. In this game, he has to complete a hat-trick and help the team lead the opponent by three goals.

Since this game was at Old Trafford, and Manchester United's offense was quite sharp during this period, Mourinho did not stick to it, but planned to attack Liverpool.

Seeing Manchester United's plan, it immediately aroused heated discussions from the outside world. Some people think that Manchester United's current team is in good condition and can suppress Liverpool at home;

Regardless of how the outside world talked, the game started on time.

On Liverpool's side, Coutinho sat on the bench. He had been injured for a period of time before, and now it seems that although he has recovered to the state where he can play, it is still difficult to play the whole game.

On Manchester United's side, the main force is all out. Now the situation when the two teams compete with each other in the first round is just reversed.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams played the momentum of "Double Red Club". The fight in the middle was quite fierce, and there were often situations where people turned their backs on their backs. However, this was considered normal for both teams, so the referee did not play a card except for blowing the whistle to indicate a foul.

In this game, Manchester United's retired meritorious coach Sir Alex Ferguson also came to the scene and sat on the sidelines to watch the game live. After the camera found it, it also frequently pointed the lens at him.

Shortly after the start of the game, it seemed that the goddess of luck was on Liverpool's side. No. 11 minutes, Liverpool's players organized an attack, Firmino kicked a long shot, the ball hit the post, and then bounced into the goal.

Firmino was very excited after scoring the goal. Obviously he himself did not expect the goal to be scored.

Liverpool scored first, and Tuchel also had a smile on his face.

At this time, the camera shot was on Ferguson's face without accident, and Ferguson was seen with a livid face, chewing gum in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Mourinho also commanded on the sidelines. The ball just now was actually a defensive error by the Manchester United players, which gave the opponent a chance to kick.

Knowing that they made a mistake, the Manchester United players quickly concentrated their attention, and the series of victories did make some players careless.

Slowly, the field returned to a state of evenness.

No. 15 minutes, after Liverpool's Wijnaldum got the ball, he immediately found that his teammates were not in a good position, so he was going to take a few steps first, but at this time, he found Shen Peng running over.

Due to Shen Peng's current control over his side of the field, many teams don't stay for too long when passing and receiving the ball here. Most of them just touch the ball with one foot.

Wijnaldum is caught in a dilemma at this time, because his teammates are not in good positions and are defended by Manchester United players, so the pass is likely to be destroyed; if he does not pass the ball, he will have to face Shen Peng's defense.

Gritting his teeth, he made a decision.

Although the "Shen Peng Promenade" pass is powerful, he has not seen it with his own eyes, and the videos in several videos look very ordinary. In his opinion, the player who took the ball was not paying attention before being intercepted by Shen Peng. Moreover, Shen Peng rarely directly defends opponents one-on-one, so Shen Peng's defensive ability is exaggerated.

But now, he is going to take a further distance, and then maybe he will be able to find a good opportunity to pass to his teammates, and even form an assist!

Thinking of this, he moved his feet and walked a short distance towards Shen Peng...
