Chapter 335 Ibrahimovic's Position

It was snowing outside, and Shen Peng was in the villa at this time, talking to the mobile phone with the charger plugged in.

"You should pay attention to your health when you are outside alone. By the way, when are you and Rongrong planning to get married?"

"Mom, how old am I now, are you urging me all this?" Shen Peng looked at his mother on the phone and said helplessly.

After coming to the Premier League, this is the second time he hasn't even gone home during the winter vacation, so he can only use video calls with his parents during the Chinese New Year.

"How old are you? You are 23 this year, way too early to get married. Look at Xiao Li across from us, he has been with you for a year, and now the children can be soy sauce!"

Why do you seem to have heard this sentence?
Shen Peng was stunned for a moment, but his mouth was not slow at all, "Mom, I'm just graduated from university at my age, so don't worry!"

"That's right, Shen Peng is busy with his career now, so there is no rush to get married!" Shen Minghui also said beside him.

Seeing his father helping, Shen Peng quickly added: "Mom, don't worry, I'll think about it right away when my side stabilizes."

That being said, no one can say exactly how much this "stabilization" is...

"Well, we've been chatting for so long today, you should rest."

"Well, good bye!" Shen Peng then put down the phone dry-mouthed.

He chatted with his family all afternoon today, but most of the time it was his mother who was talking and he was listening, all talking about some small things in the family, but Shen Peng felt very warm in his heart listening to these while playing football.

The 17-18 season is halfway through. In this half of the season, thanks to the efforts of Shen Peng and his teammates, Manchester United's results are very good.

In the league, they currently rank second with a record of 22 wins, four draws and one loss with 23 points. Manchester City ranks first with 72 wins, three draws and one loss with [-] points.

This season, Manchester City has made great efforts to sign Guardiola, and after a season of running-in, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds; after Manchester United also introduced Aubameyang, the trident formed with Shen Peng Rashford is also full of firepower, so the two teams have already left other teams behind.

In the first half of the season, Manchester United and Manchester City had played against each other, but in that game, Manchester United lost [-]-[-] at home.

In that game, Aubameyang was absent due to injury, so Manchester United only had two offensive points, Shen Peng and Rashford. After Guardiola studied for more than four seasons, he finally restricted Shen Peng in that game.

This is also Manchester United's only loss this season, and it also ended Manchester United's unbeaten record since losing to Chelsea last season.

Although they lost to Manchester City, in the face of other teams, even when Aubameyang was not playing, they often won by a large score, so this season Manchester United's goal difference is similar to Manchester City: Manchester City 59, Manchester United 57.

In addition, the four Premier League teams performed well in the Champions League this season.

In the group stage, Manchester United was the seeded team, and the second echelon was assigned to Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid is also an undoubted strong team. They have performed well in the Champions League for several years in a row, but their defense has nothing to do against Manchester United's trident attack.

The other three teams, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Tottenham are all first in the group, and their total goal difference in the group stage is more than ten goals.

In the last round of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City beat Basel [-]-[-] in an away game; Tottenham also drew Juventus [-]-[-] in an away game. Judging from their performance, the two teams have entered the next round with a high probability, and now Manchester United is also reassuring.

Therefore, throughout the knockout stage, the Premier League seems to have signs of recovery. Many people think that there will be three to four Premier League teams in the final eight of the Champions League.

Shen Peng picked up the schedule and looked at it. The next game for Manchester United was the FA Cup against Huddersfield, a newly promoted team this season.

Manchester United have been eliminated in the League Cup this season, so they have focused on the FA Cup, the League, and the Champions League. If these three championships are won, it will be the "Triple Crown".

If Manchester United can win these three championships this year, it will become the first club to win the "Triple Crown" honor twice.

Of course, it's hard.

This game is coming soon.

Like most teams, facing Manchester United, Huddersfield also put on an iron barrel formation.

Seeing the iron barrel array, Shen Peng had a headache.

It's not that Manchester United is afraid of the iron barrel now. No team can completely defend Manchester United's offense with a complete lineup.

It is because it is almost impossible for Shen Peng to complete Li Yun's task in the face of the iron barrel formation. He has not yet completed this task. Facing a strong team, it is almost impossible to score five goals. Facing a weak team, the opponent puts the iron barrel formation. If Shen Peng wants to score five goals, he can only pray for the blessing of Goddess Luck.

Therefore, in half a season of competition, Shen Peng's most one time was only to complete the big four - scoring four goals.

In the end, Manchester United defeated their opponents [-]-[-] with a small number of substitutes on the field. Even though Shen Peng tried his best, he only scored two goals, which was far from completing Liyun's task.

After completing this game, Manchester United's next game is to face the "Europa League Overlord" Sevilla in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Sevilla has won the Europa League for three consecutive years in the 13-14, 14-15, and 15-16 seasons. The total number of times it has won the Europa League is five times, the most among all clubs, leading the second club by as many as two times, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Of course, compared to Manchester United this season, it is not enough. Manchester United even defeated the Champions League champion Juventus at the beginning of the season.

Before this game, Manchester United also received good news that Ibrahimovic has finally fully recovered.

However, in this way, there is a problem, that is, what position is Ibrahimovic playing now?
Play center forward?What about Rashford?
Now the combination of Rashford, Shen Peng and Aubameyang is quite sharp. Although it is not as good as Dortmund's trident when they won the Triple Crown, it has reached the point where "the whole of Europe is unstoppable".

Let Ibrahimovic go to the bench?

With Ibrahimovic's personality, is he really willing to play as a substitute?

Moreover, Ibrahimovic has a lot of experience in competitions. Although he is old now, his role on the field is not small. If he is used as a substitute, it will always make people feel like a pearl is dusted.

Therefore, this makes many people feel that Manchester United has encountered a "happiness trouble".
