Chapter 436 Happy August

Chapter No.16 Happy August

So far in the new season, Manchester United have won all three games.Moreover, in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, relying on most of the substitute players to achieve an unprecedented victory, Ancelotti was extremely satisfied.

The mid-week game did not drag Manchester United physically. On the weekend, Newcastle ushered in the challenge at home. Ancelotti continued to send out the first two rounds of the league.

It is an eternal truth that the winning team does not change.

In the midfield, Fellaini and Cramer, the two players over 190 cm tall are like two door panels, blocking in front of the back line, plus the flexible Spanish player Herrera, Although this combination of midfielders is quite flawed in terms of offensive creativity, in terms of defense, the defense line of the three-man midfielder is enough to cause headaches for Premier League opponents.

Although Herrera is a player from the Basque Country, he not only has the characteristics of a Spanish player who is good at receiving passes, but also has the general fighting spirit of a Basque bulldog. Therefore, in terms of defense, he is thin and small. Herrera is not soft at all when facing opponents!

In addition to contributing defensively, Herrera was also the commander of the midfield.

Of course, he is not a court commander like Pirlo Alonso, but a real commander-he is talkative.

From Kramer's biased English accent, you can know how talkative Herrera is-as a German, Kramer's English accent has a bit of Spanish flavor, all thanks to Herrera's in his ear Non-stop blah blah.

"Chris! Pass the ball forward!"

"Juan, I'm here!!"

"Lee!! Lee!! Forward!!"

The same is true in the game against Newcastle, Manchester United's players have become accustomed to this talkative Spaniard.

The same is true for Li Qingshan.

Herrera and Fellaini had cut Newcastle's forward pass, and after a few passes, the ball came to Di Maria's feet.

Di Maria moved forward with the ball and was blocked by the Newcastle defender.

It was already the No.403 minute of the first half, and there were less than 3 minutes before the end of the half, and the score on the field was still zero to zero.

If a goal cannot be scored in the first half, it will be the first time that Manchester United have not been able to score in the first half since the beginning of this season.

Newcastle's tenacious resistance did create trouble for Manchester United.

But that's all the trouble.

After Di Maria dribbled the ball forward to attract the defense, he passed the ball to the center.

Mata has already come to the middle to meet him. He met the ball and went straight to the middle, finding Li Qingshan's feet.

Li Qingshan turned around and shot after protecting the ball with his back.

Standard center work, the midfielder and winger create space for the center forward to shoot.

However, this shot was saved by Newcastle's Dutch goalkeeper Krul.

Judging from the performance in the first half of this game, Krul is definitely the best player on the field. If it weren't for him, Newcastle would have surrendered under the impact of Manchester United.

Fortunately, Li Qingshan reacted quickly after the gate. With his strong body, he squeezed away two Newcastle central defenders who were only 180 centimeters tall, Stephen Taylor and Coloccini, seized the position and threw Krul The football that came out was protected under his feet again.

After that, Li Qingshan waited for a while, and then he kicked his heel directly, and the football passed between the two central defenders.

Herrera has already inserted into the penalty area and pushed the ball towards the ball!

This time, despite Krul's reaction, he still did not prevent the football from entering the net.

As the tacit understanding of the players on the Manchester United field increased, Fellaini and Herrera took turns plugging in and brought different offensive rhythms. Fellaini was more of a header, while Herrera was more aggressive. It has an advantage in dealing with ground balls.

With this goal, Newcastle's resistance collapsed.

In the second half, Newcastle once wanted to counterattack, but Li Qingshan shot a long shot in the counterattack, rewriting the score to [-]-[-].

At Old Trafford, two goals behind, with the strength of Newcastle, it is too difficult to get back the score.

In the end, Newcastle had no choice but to swallow the score of [-]-[-] and lost to the Theater of Dreams.

After this game, in the second round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round in midweek, Ancelotti took a group of substitutes to Belgium. The main players, including Li Qingshan, stayed in Manchester. Even De Gea did not follow. The team went out, and he was replaced by goalkeeper John Stone.

The five-to-zero advantage established in the first round was too great, which allowed Ancelotti to confidently and boldly line up all the substitutes to play.

But despite being Manchester United's second-tier lineup, they still won an away game.

With the goals of Rooney and Hernandez, Manchester United beat Club Brugge [-]-[-] away and successfully entered the Champions League!
And this conceded goal is also Manchester United's first conceded goal since the new season!
So far, Manchester United has won five consecutive victories in all competitions.

Soon, Manchester United beat Swansea Swansea [-]-[-] at the Liberty Stadium in Wales in the Premier League on the weekend.Li Qingshan opened the scoring for the team, and then Swansea's Korean midfielder Ki Sung-yong helped Swansea equalize the score.This is also Manchester United's first goal conceded in the Premier League in the new season.

The first half ended with a one-to-one score, but in the second half, Manchester United quickly gained an offensive advantage. Li Qingshan got the ball in the penalty area and gave it to Mata. Mata shot with his left foot and helped the team exceed the score again.

In the final stage of the game, Wayne Rooney, who came off the bench, made another victory for Manchester United, [-] to [-]!

Manchester United successfully took away three points at the Liberty Stadium. At the same time, they also won six consecutive victories in all competitions since the beginning of the season. They won four consecutive victories in the Premier League and scored [-] points. They ranked first in the league with a very slight advantage .

The reason why it is weak is because Manchester City, ranked No.2, also won four consecutive Premier League games, ranking second with only one goal difference in the number of goals.

Manchester City's first four rounds were a [-]-[-] victory over West Bromwich Albion, a [-]-[-] victory over Chelsea, a [-]-[-] victory over Everton, and a [-]-[-] victory over Watford. They scored twelve goals in four games. , without conceding a goal.While Manchester United scored [-] goals in four games and conceded one goal. The goal difference of both sides is [-]. In this case, it is the number of goals. Manchester United has a slight advantage in the number of goals , and thus ranks at the top of the list.

The defending champion Chelsea unexpectedly lost to Crystal Palace in the fourth round and only scored four points in the four rounds.The difference between the two teams in Manchester was opened by eight points.

After the game in August, almost all the media expressed the same opinion: the Premier League champion this season will definitely be between Manchester United and Manchester City!There will be absolutely no surprises.

But the head coaches of the two teams are very cautious.

Man City coach Manuel Pellegrini said. "The season has just started and we've only played four games. It has to be remembered that we ended up eight points behind Chelsea last season. In January we were tied and we were top of the table."

Ancelotti also said: "This is the Premier League, one of the most difficult leagues in the world. The important thing is to study games one by one, not to consider the opponent's situation!"

The head coach is extra cautious, but for Manchester United fans, this month is undoubtedly quite happy.
