Chapter 338 Towards the Triple Crown

On March 3th, the Premier League No.5 nine rounds, Manchester United challenged Crystal Palace away.

Five to zero.

Another massacre.

Many who had hoped that United's performance would be a flash in the pan were disappointed.

They beat their opponents by a big score in three consecutive games, and on the scene, the opponents hardly had any chances.

……

On March 3th, in the No.10 round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Liverpool at home.

This game is also a game that many people pay attention to. They pay attention to this game because Liverpool has always been known as "robbing the rich and giving to the poor" in the Premier League. After Klopp came, this situation has not changed at all. They are the only team in the league so far that has won Manchester City.

So many people hope that Liverpool can beat Manchester United in this game.

In addition, in addition to the gimmick of the "Double Red Club" in the match between Liverpool and Manchester United, many people are also concerned about the relationship between Klopp and Shen Peng. The two had a master-student relationship in Dortmund before.

In the first half of the season, the two teams relied on Klopp's targeted adjustments to defend Shen Peng. In the end, the two teams drew one to one at Anfield.

Therefore, many people want to see how Klopp is going to defend Manchester United.

In the first ten minutes of the game, both teams played tepidly. Liverpool also followed Klopp's tactics and seemed to have succeeded in limiting Manchester United's offense.

However, in No. 12 minutes, Manchester United scored.

It's easy to say, after Lindelof cut off Liverpool's ball, after a few passes, the ball was passed to the frontcourt, and Ibrahimovic completed the final blow, which was also his first goal in an official game after his comeback.

Although he has only scored one goal now, no one can deny the role of his return. Simply compare the performance of Manchester United before and after his return to get the answer.

This goal also seems to say to all opponents that "God" Ibrahimovic is back, and any team that doesn't pay attention to defending him because he didn't score before will suffer!
This seemingly "simple" goal, in the eyes of many experts, has seen many things.

One is the midfielder Pogba's goal.

I have to say that Manchester United made a lot of money by signing Pogba back then. Although he sometimes sticks to the ball, this shot is really good. As a point of transition from defense to offense, although Pogba's passing is worse than that of a "master" like Xavi Pirlo, he can always find teammates at critical moments.

Then there is the cooperation between Shen Peng and Rashford.

The pass and catch of the two made Liverpool's defense a mess. When Liverpool were defending Shen Peng, Rashford passed the ball at a critical moment to Ibrahimovic who was unguarded due to defensive loopholes. Then Ibrahimovic scored the goal.

There is also Aubameyang's running position.

When Shen Peng and Rashford passed the ball to each other, Aubameyang always had at least one person staring at him on the right. There were several opportunities, and if no one was marking, Rashford could pass to Aubameyang and let Aubameyang complete the raid.

Klopp was on the sidelines at this time, silent, he finally understood how his opponents felt when he was in Dortmund...

Of course, Liverpool's offense is also very strong, so many times, Shen Peng and Aubameyang have returned to the midfield to help defend, which can be regarded as Liverpool's defense in disguise.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United scored again.

This time it was Shen Peng who scored in person.

Now Shen Peng at Manchester United is like Messi in Barcelona, ​​he is always man-marked, but even so, it cannot completely prevent him from scoring goals.

This ball is just that.

Shen Peng used his foot skills to deceive the three defenders, and then cut in front of the goal to score.

Two to zero.

Seeing this, many people were disappointed to find that it seems that Liverpool has nothing to do with this Manchester United...

However, in the second half, there was a surprise scene for everyone except Manchester United fans and related personnel, that is, in the No. 601 minute, Liverpool scored a goal!
In the previous three games, Manchester United had zero opponents, but in this game, Liverpool scored!
Although the goal was very difficult to score, and both Liverpool players were on their backs outside the Manchester United penalty area, but it was scored anyway.

This ball also once made people see the hope of Liverpool equalizing the score.

However, 5 minutes later, Manchester United scored again.

This time it was Rashford who scored the goal. Relying on Ibrahimovic's cover and Shen Peng's second pass, he scored a very concealed goal.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Liverpool [-]-[-] in this game.

People found that even a team like Liverpool, which specializes in playing strong teams, can only score one goal in the hands of Manchester United...

On March 3, in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United played against Sevilla at home.

Before the game, when the players of the two teams shook hands with each other, judging from the close-up of the camera, most of the players in Seville had a bitter face.

Seeing this situation, people have to feel that it is really unlucky for Sevilla to meet Manchester United...

The process of the game was almost the same as the last game between the two teams, except that after Sevilla had experience in this game, they performed a little better, allowing Manchester United to score three fewer goals. In the end, Manchester United defeated Sevilla [-]-[-] at home.

Many people even suspect that the goal scored by Sevilla was deliberately conceded by Manchester United. After all, in the Champions League knockout round, it was a bit too tragic to beat the opponent [-]-[-] in two rounds.

In fact, it was just that Manchester United did not fight so hard to guarantee promotion. They led 803-[-] in the first half and played a little easier in the second half, but even so, they still scored a goal. Sevilla also seized this opportunity and scored a face-saving goal in the No. [-] minute of the game.

……

On March 3, in the No.18 round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged West Ham United away.

The result of this game is still no suspense, six to zero, another massacre.

Now people have gradually become a little numb to the terrifying strength of Manchester United. Even if Manchester United scored less than three goals in a game, it might become a news.

……

On March 3, the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, Manchester United played against Southampton.

Four to one.

Southampton played almost desperately in this game.

After all, for this kind of team, basically they can't touch the top six sides in the league, so they can only fight in the FA Cup and League Cup. If they win the championship by upset, it will be a matter of glory.

But even so, they just scored a goal like Liverpool, and they are still some distance away from defeating Manchester United.

Seeing that Manchester United has achieved good results in the three arenas, many people believe that Manchester United has a great possibility of winning the Triple Crown this year!Some bookmakers even offered the odds of Manchester United winning the Triple Crown at [-] to [-], which is quite a low odds!
