Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 240 Opponent, Manchester United

The score of 5-0 in the first round was not expected by all parties before the game.

After adding Jim, the sharp knife on the front line, Ajax's counterattack tactics became extraordinarily sharp.

The first three goals of the game were all scored through quick offensive and defensive transitions.

Speed ​​is the magic weapon of the Ajax team, and this is precisely the housekeeping skill of the Leipzig Red Bull team.

Who would have thought that the one who defeated him turned out to be his best move.

Such a score has basically ensured that Ajax will advance to the next knockout round.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, Wang Po was in the role of a wingman and a supporting role for most of the time. He only showed part of his strength in the second half of the game, and that time was also the time when the Leipzig Red Bull team counterattacked most fiercely. Unfortunately, in the end they did not score as they wished.

In the second round of the decisive battle between the two sides, Ten Hag did not put Wang Po in the starting lineup.

So, in the Leipzig Red Bull's home court, Caciela, Jim's left and right attacks still brought a huge impact to the opponent's defense.

With a score of 2 to 1, the total score of Ajax was 7 to 1 to advance to the next knockout round. The entire series of knockout rounds went smoothly and unexpectedly.

According to the draw results of the 1/8 knockout round, the Ajax team will face the Premier League giants Manchester United.

For the Ajax team, this is a better pick.

Manchester United, as a listed company, is undoubtedly one of the most successful football clubs among many football clubs. It needs honor to have honor and influence to have influence.

Especially the Manchester United team under the rule of Sir Alex Ferguson, the famous 99 Triple Crown, 92 class players, Neville Brothers, Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, Butt, Cook were all top-level players in Europe at the time.

After that, the Manchester United team also has Van der Sar, Ferdinand, Vidic, Tevez, C-Ronaldo, Rooney and other superstars to join.

In particular, C-Ronaldo brought the first World Footballer to the Premier League.

It’s just that time has passed. After Sir Alex Ferguson retired, today’s Manchester United is no longer the bravery that swept the European continent. The current Premier League is no longer Manchester United and Arsenal. It’s a tripartite confrontation between Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.

As for Manchester United, there is a feeling of survival in the cracks. Although there will be big moves before each season, people are full of expectations, but the higher the so-called expectations, the greater the disappointment.

What is certain is that the current Manchester United is no longer the Red Devils at the beginning, the strength of the lineup, the team tactics, and there is no hope of being able to hit the league championship and enter the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Even qualifying for the group this time was bumpy.

Although there are many well-known players in the team, they have not been able to knead together.

Pogba, the biggest player in the lineup, even made trouble with his famous and notorious agent Mino Raiola in the football circle, and the whole club was messed up by the two of them.

Factory director Martial is the club's biggest salary burden, and Rashford's unstable performance is also loved and hated.

And the new star Aoki Greenwood who has emerged in the past year can be regarded as a little consolation for Manchester United fans.

In him, people seem to see the shadow of the Manchester United No. 20 striker Van Persie, with precise feet, left and right bows, and the inside shot from the front of the penalty area is his signature work.

But after all, he is a young player. In the smoky environment, no one can say how high he can grow in the future.

In terms of strength, Manchester United is not very strong, so for the Ajax team, this is not a good sign.

Of course, for Manchester United, it was a piece of luck to meet Ajax. Facing this team, Manchester United fans also began to imagine their opponents in the next round.

After all, judging from the current strength of the Manchester United team, teams such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich may inevitably suffer a tragedy.

In such a knockout match, both sides have their own ideas. As for the result, we will only know after the real match.

In the first leg of the match, Ajax will travel to Old Trafford in Manchester to play away against Manchester United.

In Manchester United's main lineup, the strength of goalkeeper De Gea is beyond doubt. In the worst years of Manchester United's worst years, the defense line was described as "the frontcourt is picturesque, and the backcourt De Gea".

The central defender introduced Wan Bissaka, a stealing machine with excellent physical fitness, last season. The central defender introduced Maguire at a price of 8000 million euros, the first football central defender, and Jones was partnered with him.

The left back is "chubby" Luke Shaw.

In terms of a single round of cards, such a defense line is at least top-notch in the Premier League.

In midfield, the combination of Brazilians Fred and McTomina is even more unshakable. Of course, Matic will also enter the starting lineup in some games, but the Sevilla has already passed his peak period. Now he is playing in the highly competitive Premier League.

The position on the left is Pogba, the captain of the 18 World Cup champion team France, while the central midfielder is given over to Bruno, and the forward partners are Rashford and Martial.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that Manchester United's current head coach is their historical meritorious player, Solskjaer with the Red Devils DNA.

Before the start of the season, the Norwegian also hoped that the club could win Wang Po as the team's new nuclear engine. First, he came to give Pogba some beatings, and he came to supplement his strength.

It's a pity that today's full face is no longer as attractive to the top stars as it used to be, and commercial factors are at the top of the list. As for hard honors, only Mourinho, who was ridiculed by most Manchester United fans in recent years, led the team to win the Europa League.

After failing to chase Wang Po, the Portuguese Bruno became Manchester United's plan b.

In the end, the Portuguese joined the Red Devils as he wished and appeared at Old Trafford.

Judging from this season's performance, Bruno's level has exceeded expectations, but as a midfielder, he lost a lot of possessions on the field, and his poor dribbling also restricted Bruno's evolution and upgrade. A huge stumbling block.

Both sides are determined to advance to the next round of competition. Such a duel is destined to be sparks hitting the earth.

When Wang Po arrived at Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, he was stunned for a moment. It was a dreamlike feeling.
