Manchester United's first league loss!
Manchester United finally lost! !

In the media reports in England, it is obvious that they have given a sigh of relief.After all, Manchester United won like this, which made everyone terrified.Some people even suspected that this season's Premier League might lose its suspense in the twenty rounds.

But fortunately, Manchester United lost, Manchester United finally lost!

"The shadow fades, and Manchester United returns to the world!" "

"Sky City defeated the Red Devils at home and sent Manchester United their first defeat of the season! "

"Mark Hughes beat Ancelotti! "

.........

Li Qingshan's gloomy expression appeared on the front page of a big media after the game.

"... Li Qingshan's performance in this game is already good enough. He scored two goals for the team, two iconic headers, and beat Walscheid's powerful hammer twice! The football was sent into the goal, the only regret is that his team failed to win the game. Stoke City's three frontcourt attackers scored a goal each and defeated Manchester United with a score of [-] to [-], giving Manchester United a taste of First loss of the season!"

"... Rooney's two mistakes gave Stoke City two chances to counterattack, while Shaqiri and Boyang seized these two opportunities to score. Perhaps in terms of absolute chances, Manchester United should Far more than Stoke City, but football games are often like this, the dominant side does not necessarily win the victory...."

"…..Although the full camp of injured players on the defensive line has some impact on Manchester United's strength, if it were not for Rooney's mistakes, perhaps Manchester United can rely on striker Li Qingshan to help the team take three points again. Manchester United's losses are overwhelmingly to blame..."

Rooney put down the newspaper, and touched the top of his head, which had only had a successful hair transplant this year, in distress.

He put on the boxing gloves that were lying beside him, walked into his boxing practice room, and vented his frustration on the beanbag.

He does have reason to be depressed.

It would be a lie to say that he was not dissatisfied with Ancelotti putting him on the bench this season.But what can he do to Ancelotti.Manchester United's performance this season is obvious to all. Without Wayne Rooney, Manchester United's offense has become smoother and faster.

The two conceded goals against Stoke City were caused by his opponent seizing the opportunity to steal the ball and successfully counterattack after he stopped the ball a little bit bigger.

If it is Rooney who is a few years younger, it is not a problem to stop the ball a little bit, because he can immediately catch up with the football with his explosive power, which is not a problem for Rooney at all.

But when his physical function is far inferior to that of himself when he was young, the shortcomings of his slightly rough technique are exposed, and he still plays football in the old way, which is obviously not feasible.

Rooney knows that he doesn't have many chances, and this loss is likely to make him lose his starting position again.

In fact, Ancelotti is also weighing whether to put Rooney down in the starting lineup.

Although Rooney's physical function has declined a lot, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. If you have to choose someone to replace Mata, Rooney's ability should be the closest.

The problem now is that Rooney's way of playing must be adjusted. When Mata is on the field, Mata can effectively link the team together, and connect the three midfielders in the midfield through flexible horizontal and vertical movements. And to create space for striker Li Qingshan, he acts like a lubricant for the team.

In these few games, Rooney frequently went to the center to get the ball, occupying Li Qingshan's space, leaving the right side of the line empty, and directly exposing the back line to the opponent's attack line, so that Valencia did not dare to go forward. assists.It's like the team's offense has lost its lubricant and cannot flow smoothly.

...........
On the sidelines of the training field, Ancelotti was surrounded by the media.

During the 15 minutes of the team's public training, these reporters have the freedom to interview.

"Mr. Carlo, what do you think of Rooney's performance?"

"Will you start Rooney in the next league game?"

The reporters held the microphones and reached out to Mourinho, asking all kinds of questions in their mouths.Most of them are about Rooney.

After the game against Stoke City, many media expected Rooney to be directly taken out of the starting lineup.

Ancelotti stood in front of the reporters, of course he would not say anything bad about the team captain in the media.

"Rooney is the captain of the team. Everything in his past has proved his strength. As for the starting arrangement of the team, I will make adjustments according to different opponents. I can't tell you now." Ancelotti said.

The reporters certainly didn't expect to hear any valuable news from the good old Ancelotti.And Manchester United's next league opponent is Chelsea. After 15 minutes of public training, Ancelotti drove the media reporters out of the training ground.The starting arrangements for Manchester United's next league game can only be guessed by the media themselves.

For Ancelotti, how to deal with the next league opponent Chelsea is the top priority.

Chelsea this season is in a quagmire, but you must know that Chelsea, which had almost the same lineup last season, won the Premier League championship.

Therefore, there must be something wrong with Chelsea's dressing room.However, these problems may now be a thing of the past.

Because just a few days ago, Chelsea officially announced the news of Mourinho's dismissal.

After the 1:2 away loss to Leicester City, Mourinho bluntly said that he was betrayed by some players.In fact, during his preparation for that game, he mentioned the word "betrayal" three times in the pre-game tactical meeting, in the half-time talk with the team and in the post-game press conference.Before the game against Leicester City, Mourinho noticed the existence of the "inner ghost" through some things.

Before the final round of life-and-death battle with Porto in the Champions League, Mourinho learned through his acquaintances in his former club that Porto knew that he would take Fabregas out of the starting lineup.Although Chelsea won 2-0 in the end, Mourinho was convinced that at least one player in the team was betraying him, and this is not the first time this season that Mourinho feels that these key information have been leaked, regardless of such behavior. Whether on purpose or by accident.

On Friday local time, Mourinho returned to the Cobham training base to take away his personal belongings and said goodbye to the team and coaching staff one by one. The "Daily Mail" stated that some players in the Blues were very happy about Mourinho's departure, but Mourinho still said goodbye to all the players.Mourinho's final speech was very emotional. He hoped that Chelsea would not be complacent, and reminded the players to never forget what kind of traits helped the team become the double champion last season.

On the second day after firing Mourinho, Chelsea's boss Abramovich told the Chelsea players on the team's training ground that the Russians told the Chelsea stars that they did not want to fire Mourinho, but in view of the Given the team's current situation, he had no choice but to make this choice.

After nearly half a season of Chelsea's struggles, the war between players and manager ended with Jose Mourinho's sacking.

The interim head coach who took over Chelsea was Guus Hiddink, who was also thought to be the head coach of Chelsea for the second time.

For Manchester United, their opponent in the next league game will be a different Chelsea led by another head coach, and Ancelotti cannot be careless.
