Chapter 446
Chapter 26 Champions League Open Door Black
Manchester United's one-day vacation soon ended, and the team immediately put into preparations.

After ending this important round of the league with Liverpool, Manchester United won five consecutive victories in the league and continued to rank first in the standings.And Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 2-[-] in the away game, and also ranked No. [-] in the standings with five consecutive victories in the league.

Ranked No.3 is Leicester City. Tinker Ranieri's team continues to maintain an unbeaten record this season. This round they defeated Aston Villa 3-[-] at home, and the points came to eleven points, ranked No.[-] in the league.

The No.4 team is Arsenal. With the three points they scored in beating Stoke City [-]-[-] at home, Arsenal's points also climbed to ten points, temporarily ranking fourth.

Chelsea lost again. Mourinho's team was defeated by Everton [-]-[-] in the away game. Chelsea was completely different from last season's champion team, with weak offense and loose defense.After five league rounds this season, Chelsea have lost three games, not to mention the championship, Chelsea even have to consider relegation-they are now ranked fourth from the bottom in the league, just because they conceded fewer goals than Stoke City, and Did not fall into the relegation zone.

Of course, no one believes that Chelsea will be relegated now, but there must be something wrong with Mourinho's team, there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, the focus of the media has been around Chelsea.

For Ancelotti, it is undoubtedly a good thing that the media's attention to Manchester United has declined.Because he can conduct team training in a quiet environment.

Manchester United's next game is going to the Netherlands, away to PSV Eindhoven.

A big battle has just ended, and this game is an away game, and the strength of the opponent should not be underestimated. For Manchester United, this game is undoubtedly a test.

After knocking out Club Brugge in the Champions League qualifiers, Manchester United successfully qualified for the Champions League.The draw for the UEFA Champions League also ended in the last two weeks, but it was the international match day at that time, and Li Qingshan did not pay more attention.

Manchester United, as the team in the second tier, was assigned to Group B. The teams in the same group include Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven, Russian Super League team CSKA Moscow, and Bundesliga team Wolfsburg.This grouping is neither good nor bad for Manchester United. The expedition to Moscow is undoubtedly the most difficult game, but the away games of the other two teams, whether they go to the Netherlands or Germany, are not easy for Manchester United.

Of course, this group is much happier than Manchester United's rivals in the same city, Manchester City. Manchester City was assigned to Group D this time. The teams in the same group include Juventus, Sevilla, and Borussia Mönchengladbach.Without a doubt, this is the group of death.

The most ideal grouping is of course the Premier League defending champion Chelsea. Mourinho's team is assigned to Group G. The teams in the same group include Porto, Dynamo Kiev, and Maccabi Tel Aviv.In terms of hard power, Chelsea is undoubtedly crushing the general strength advantage in this group, but if you consider Chelsea's poor state in the past two months, it is not impossible for them to capsize in the gutter.

Arsenal meet Bayern Munich again.

Wenger's side seem to have been having less luck in the Champions League.Bayern Munich and Barcelona have always been Arsenal's nemesis.Either Arsenal will meet one of these two teams in the group stage, or they will meet them in the round of [-].

However, in addition to Bayern Munich, Arsenal's Group F also includes Olympiacos and Dinamo Zagreb.Arsenal should have no problem qualifying, but if they qualify second in the group, the probability of them meeting Barcelona is really too high.
Manchester United arrived in the Netherlands one day earlier and did not have more time to adapt.

The league interval between this game and Liverpool is only three days, and it is going to the Netherlands to play away.It's no wonder that Ancelotti complained about the FA's league schedule before the game.

"I think the FA should think about the teams participating in the European competition on the field. We have just finished a key league game, and then we are flying to the Netherlands. My players have no time to rest and recover." Ancelotti said so.

Not only Ancelotti, but many coaches in the Premier League have complained about the schedule.In the eyes of the FA, it seems that no team needs to participate in the European war.This has caused trouble for many teams who are going to play in Europe.

In fact, in the game, the Manchester United team did seem quite unexcited, and their enthusiasm for running was not high.

Perhaps this has something to do with their physical fitness not yet fully recovered.

PSV Eindhoven, who played at home, played vigorously. Their running is quite active, and their offensive delivery is also very concise.

In the No.206 minute, Manchester United finally lost the ball.

Eindhoven player Lestierni made a cross from the left corner, Moreno headed the goal, hit Smalling's head and flew into the net.

Eindhoven leads one to zero!

Next, Manchester United cheered up and prepared to launch a counterattack, but the Manchester United team was in a bad state in this game.

After Li Qingshan retreated to receive the ball, he distributed the ball to the right. As a result, Valencia's cross flew high out of the sideline on the other side, and Li Qingshan had no chance to compete for the top.

"The whole Manchester United team seems to be out of shape. They made too many passing mistakes. This may be because they have just played a high-intensity game. The Manchester United players are a little heavy when they run." The commentator said.

Until the end of the first half, Manchester United failed to equalize the score.

At the beginning of the second half, Ancelotti was about to make a substitution.Mata was replaced by Nani.

Mata also didn't feel good in this game, and his physical fitness has not fully recovered.

After Nani came on the field, he was physically fit and active in running. His breakthrough on the wing also created a considerable threat.It's just that the feeling of the legend has not been able to come out.

However, Li Qingshan's performance was positive. He finally grabbed a corner kick and scored a goal in No. 80 minutes to help the team equalize the score.

But at the end of the game, Eindhoven scored another goal with a counterattack.

Two to one!

When the referee blew the end of the game, Manchester United suffered their first defeat of the season, which was also the start of the Champions League.

The defeat in the first game of the Champions League group stage has cast a shadow over Manchester United's prospects for the Champions League this season.
