Chapter 450 Crazy Winning Streak Momentum

Chapter 30 The Insane Winning Streak

Professional players playing in the Premier League are probably the ones who need to mention the most games in the five major leagues.

The Premier League schedule is already dense, and there is no winter break.

In cup competitions, England also has two cup competitions.

FA Cup and League Cup.

The FA Cup is an event older than the English professional league, and it still has a certain status in England.

The League Cup is a cup competition created by the English professional league to compete with the FA. Only teams from the professional leagues of the English Premier League, British Championship, League One, and League Two can participate.

Premier League teams are added from the third round.

After Manchester United ended the league with Southampton, immediately ushered in the League Cup match with the Championship team Ipswich Town in the middle of the week.

What annoys Ancelotti is that England's schedule really makes him quite angry.

The League Cup match is on the 24th, and Manchester United's opponent in the next round of the league is Sunderland. The game time is on the 26th. There are only two days between the two games, and there is only one day of rest in between!
Ibusević is not a weak team, they are old fritters in the British Championship.

There may be a lot of debate about the best top league in the world, but the Championship is definitely the best second league.

The strength gap between the strength of the English Championship team and those relegation teams in the Premier League is very small, especially a team like Ipsevich with a high performance in the English Championship.

The two games were so close that Ancelotti had to focus on only one game.

It is said that Manchester United has won six consecutive league games, and the league schedule is still quite long, so it is okay to play a proper round of the league.But Ancelotti would never think so.

He has already seen the crisis in the last round of the league, that is, Manchester United's bench strength is not enough!
He has already started thinking about introducing several substitutes during the winter window.

Therefore, he will never relax in the league.

Relatively speaking, the League Cup is much tasteless for Manchester United.It's only the third round now. If this is a semi-final or something, maybe Ancelotti will pay attention to it.

And this third round can only be used as a running-in substitute lineup and training young players.

On paper, the strength of Manchester United's bench lineup also looks okay.

Except for goalkeeper De Gea and midfielder Carrick, all the players who started in the last round of the league got a rest.

On the defensive line, the left back is Luke Shaw who has returned from injury, the central back combination is Smalling and Rojo, and the right back Raphael.

Ancelotti used the 433 position this time.

The midfield trio is captain Wayne Rooney who plays in midfield, veteran Carrick and teenager Fu Sumensa.In the frontcourt, there are Pea Hernandez, Nani, and the teenager Rashford who was promoted from the youth team.

This lineup looks good at first glance, but considering that Manchester United has not played 433 this season, these players have not had many opportunities to play, so the effect will not be known until the game.

Ipsević also doesn't seem to have any ambitions for the League Cup. They also have a Championship game to play at the weekend. For Ipsevich, the League Cup is completely tasteless-they want to win the championship anyway The probability is too low, it is better to send a substitute lineup to run in and train young players by the way.

Ipsevich came to Old Trafford with the mentality of playing wherever he played, and almost none of their main players entered the squad for the game.

This is a competition between the two teams' substitutes.

Manchester United, who played at home, won a clean [-]-[-] and got close to the fourth round of the League Cup.

Rashford scored twice on his first-team debut.

In the No. 14 minute of the game, Rashford pushed and scored after receiving a cross from Nani from the right.

Five minutes later, Rashford, who played confidently, received a through ball from Carrick and passed the central defender and shot again.

In the second half, Rooney scored another goal through a direct free kick.

Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the game.After all, nothing went wrong with the big rotation.

Two days later, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against the black cats Sunderland at home.

Sunderland is currently at the bottom of the league. They have lost four of their first six league rounds and only scored two draws.

This time facing Manchester United, which has won six consecutive league victories, the result seems to be no suspense.

For Sunderland, the chances of them wanting to score points at Old Trafford are too small, especially when Manchester United is in such a hot state.

Sunderland coach Advocaat certainly understands this.He pinned his hopes of scoring points on his two central defenders.

Manchester United's most important offensive player is of course Li Qingshan, and Advocaat believes that what Li Qingshan relies on most is his physical fitness.And if it is a competition of physical confrontation ability, Advocaat believes that his two central defenders should at least be able to fight.

The first is Coates No. 22. He is 190 cm tall. This height alone is taller than Li Qingshan. He should be able to interfere with Li Qingshan when he is heading the ball.

The other central defender is the old Manchester United player O'Shea. In the central defender position, the 34-year-old veteran has rich experience, and his height is over 190 centimeters, and he also has good confrontation ability.

Advocaat feels that as long as the two central defenders can limit Li Qingshan's performance, it is not impossible for Sunderland to score a point in the away game.

Facts have proved that Advocaat really thought too much.

In the No. 206 minute of the game, Sunderland's efforts collapsed.

Li Qingshan leaped high, competed for the header and passed the ball to Di Maria, who regained his starting position after recovering from injury.After the Argentine winger got the ball, he made a false shot and crossed the baseline. Mata, who had brushed into the penalty area, scored an empty goal.

Manchester United's three major attackers completed a very efficient connection and broke through Sandro's defense.

Before the end of the first half, Li Qingshan tried a direct free kick from a super long distance in the area 30 meters away from the goal.Sunderland goalkeeper Pantilimon, who is [-] centimeters tall, has nothing to do with the ball.

There are free kick players with outstanding footwork like Mata and Di Maria in the Manchester United team. Li Qingshan will basically not compete for the right to take free kicks.But this time, he saw that the distance was so far away, and the position was quite upright, so he stepped forward and tried it.

His free-kicks have no skill at all, they are all attempts at a powerful long-range shot.The so-called miracles with great strength, facing the ball at such a speed, as long as there is a slight angle, it is very difficult for the goalkeeper to handle.

In the second half, Manchester United chased after the victory, and Kramer scored his first goal after joining Manchester United through a corner kick.

In the end, Manchester United beat Sunderland [-]-[-] at home and won the league's opening seven consecutive victories!
