Chapter 481 Goal Shortage?
Chapter 61 Goal shortage?

A thrashing home win over CSKA Moscow took some of the pressure off Manchester United in the Champions League.

At this stage of the league, the schedule began to gradually increase, and the following midweek was the No. 12 round of the Premier League against West Bromwich Albion at home.

West Bromwich Albion currently has 13 points in the [-] rounds of the Premier League, ranking No. [-] in the league.It stands to reason that this position is also in line with West Bromwich Albion's status in the Premier League. This is a middle and lower level team with little investment.

However, West Bromwich Albion seems to always find a good form at Old Trafford. Manchester United has lost to West Bromwich Albion at home for two consecutive seasons.

In the 2012-2014 season, in the match between the two sides in the league, West Bromwich Albion was away, and Old Trafford relied on the goals of Amalfitano and Berahino, West Bromwich Albion [-]-[-] beat Manchester United.

In the last season, in the 2014-2015 season, West Bromwich Albion also defeated Manchester United led by Louis van Gaal [-]-[-] at Old Trafford.

If West Bromwich Albion can continue to maintain their strong momentum against Manchester United at Old Trafford and win this game, they are expected to become the second team that can beat Manchester United in three consecutive Premier League away games team.

Prior to this, only Manchester United's rivals Manchester City had done this.

England coach Pulis, who took over West Bromwich Albion at the beginning of this year, was very low-key before the game.

When asked about the possibility of West Bromwich Albion becoming the second team to beat Manchester United away in three consecutive games, Pulis simply brushed off the question: "I will mention it to the players. Yes, but this is not the focus of our attention. We are full of respect for the Manchester United club. Sir Alex Ferguson has led this club for a long time. I personally have full of admiration for Mr. Ferguson. It is a pity Yes, neither Moyes nor Van Gaal was able to get enough time to practice their plans. But Ancelotti's work is very good, just look at Manchester United's ranking in the standings. How strong. But we will not be intimidated by it and my team will give it their all at Old Trafford."

The game has Manchester United fans concerned about the return of Evans and Fletcher to the Theater of Dreams.The two returned to Old Trafford this time, of which Evans transferred this summer. This is the first time he played against his old club after leaving Manchester United and it was at Old Trafford.In addition to these two, West Brom's main goalkeeper Ben Foster is also from Manchester United, but he was absent due to injury.

Fletcher moved to West Bromwich Albion in January and was immediately appointed captain by Pulis after arriving at West Bromwich Albion.

Obviously, Pulis attaches great importance to the performance of the former Manchester United midfielder.In fact, if it weren't for Fletcher suffering from a strange disease, he could have become a top midfielder at Manchester United.

For Pulis, Manchester United went through a Champions League game in the middle of the week, and perhaps West Bromwich Albion can have some advantages in terms of physical fitness.

For Ancelotti, in addition to Mata's continued absence due to injury, Fellaini, who accumulated two yellow cards in the Manchester Derby and was sent off by a red card, ended his suspension and could get a chance to play. As for other positions, Ancelotti does not intend to make any changes.

Because there will be nearly two weeks of international competition days after this game, Ancelotti does not need to consider the physical fitness of the players for the time being.

West Bromwich Albion seemed to be a real help at Old Trafford.

They scored in the 8th minute of the game. With a quick counter-attack, the Venezuelan forward Leng Dong single-handedly faced de Gea with a push from the far corner of the goal. West Brom once again led Manchester United at Old Trafford. .

Before that, Manchester United already had two shots within the range of the goal frame. Li Qingshan's header even hit the crossbar and popped out of the baseline.But the team that scored first is indeed West Bromwich Albion.

And then Manchester United completely controlled the game, but it seems that their goal luck seems to be a little bit worse.

Especially Li Qingshan.

In the No. 301 minute of the game, Li Qingshan volleyed directly with his right foot from the arc of the penalty area and hit the defensive player. The goalkeeper Hill had given up the defense, but the football failed to roll into the net—the football hit again On the uprights, popped the bottom line.

Li Qingshan hugged his head in regret, this is the first time, his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper or the crossbar.

"It seems that Li Qingshan forgot to bring his shooting boots today. He was really unlucky today. If his shots that are almost guaranteed to be scored can be scored, Manchester United should have overtaken the score by now."

In the first half, Manchester United entered the intermission with a score of zero to one behind.

After the 15-minute intermission, both sides did not make substitutions. Although Li Qingshan was unlucky in scoring today, Manchester United, who had mastered the rhythm of the game, scored a goal.

The goal was Fellaini, who returned from suspension.

Through a corner kick, Li Qingshan nodded the ball back to the middle, and Fellaini flicked the ball into the goal.Manchester United equalized the score.

After the score was equalized, Manchester United continued to attack.

Until the No.80 minute of the game, Manchester United finally scored again.

Li Qingshan grabbed a point in the middle and shook his head to attack the goal. The football was slapped by the goalkeeper and hit the crossbar again, but this time the football did not bounce off the baseline, but bounced back into the penalty area. Di Maria directly threw the ball in the penalty area. Stabbing helped Manchester United overtake the score.

This is also the score after the game.Manchester United beat West Bromwich Albion [-]-[-] at home.

After the game, Ancelotti shook his head and said in an interview: "We were really unlucky in this game. In fact, we had countless chances to score goals. If half of these opportunities can be converted into goals , we should have killed the game in the first half. But that's football."

It is not surprising that Manchester United won West Bromwich Albion at home, this score is normal.After the game, what the media paid attention to was Li Qingshan's state.

According to the media, Li Qingshan has not scored a goal in two consecutive games. In the midweek Champions League, Li Qingshan did not score a goal, and in this Premier League game, Li Qingshan still did not score a goal, which also means Li Qingshan's eleven consecutive Premier League goals came to an abrupt end.

Didn't go in two consecutive games is a scoring shortage?

Perhaps this is true for Li Qingshan.

Now some media are predicting Li Qingshan's next goal trend.The state of the players is a very mysterious thing, just like in the West Bromwich Albion game, Li Qingshan's performance is not bad, but he just failed to score.And like Fellaini, he scored a goal with just one chance in the whole game, which cannot be explained by data at all.

But next is the international match day, how many rounds will Li Qingshan's scoring shortage last, and he will not know until he returns from the national team match day.
