Chapter 832 The Influence of the FIFA Virus

Chapter 186 The Impact of the FIFA Virus

The next morning, Li Qingshan returned to Manchester by plane from Tehran.

The white clouds outside the plane window quickly flew back, Li Qingshan cleared up his mood, and adjusted his mentality from the national team match day back to the league.

After returning to Manchester, Li Qingshan realized that Manchester United suffered a heavy loss during the ten days of the national team match.
Now that all continents of the World Cup qualifiers have entered the final sprint stage one after another, the national team match day at this time is not a warm-up match or friendly match, but a real competition for the World Cup finals. The official contest!So the intensity of the competition can be imagined.

Ancelotti is now looking at a series of injury list headaches.

After the international break, almost half of Manchester United's main lineup was injured.

Manchester United's team doctor is still examining Rojo's injury to determine his physical condition.

Another Argentine player of Manchester United, Di Maria, was in another game, Argentina's away game against Bolivia, was shoveled by the opponent and injured his ankle, and was limped off.

In addition to the two Argentine players, Manchester United's two Spanish players are also in trouble.

Spain hosts Israel in their World Cup qualifying European match.

In terms of strength, Spain is of course completely crushing Israel, so Spain beat their opponents 4-1 at home, but in a corner flag defense, De Gea collided with the opponent's forward Zahavi and fell to the ground, resulting in a wrist contusion.
Mata was shoveled by his teammate Ramos during training.
What made Ancelotti even more crazy was that Pogba also suffered from thigh muscle discomfort after the French team game, and it is estimated that he will miss the game for a week.

Five of Manchester United's big names are on the injured list after the international break.This almost made Ancelotti want to scold his mother. During the critical period of the league championship, the team's five main players were absent. If the chain is lost in the next game, Chelsea will be able to catch up immediately.

Fortunately, Li Qingshan was not injured, otherwise Ancelotti would not have any confidence in the next match.

Manchester United's next opponent is April 30st, the No. [-] round of the league, at home against West Bromwich Albion.

Even if most of the main players are absent, but when it comes to strength, Manchester United naturally crushes West Bromwich Albion. In the past seven matches between the two sides, Manchester United has not lost and remains unbeaten.However, because West Bromwich Albion has performed very well this season and their defense is quite stubborn, West Bromwich Albion's combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

For Manchester United, a draw is meaningless, they must get three points, otherwise, Chelsea, who are chasing behind, will soon catch up.

Due to the absence of the five main players, Ancelotti could only arrange for the players on the bench to play in this game.

Romero took De Gea's place in goal.

On the defensive line, the right back Valencia, the center back combination has become the partner of Hummels and Smalling, and the left back is Sandro.

Due to Pogba's injury, Carrick got a chance to start. The three players in the midfield are Carrick, Herrera and Kramer.

In the frontcourt, there are teenagers Rashford and Ashley Young on the left and right.In this game, Ashley Young replaced Mata and played to the right.

Ashley Young still had a kick in the cross, and that's what Ancelotti was looking for.

Because the one at the top is undoubtedly Li Qingshan!

In this game, Li Qingshan handed over his captain's armband. This season, everyone is used to seeing Li Qingshan wear the armband. Suddenly, Carrick starts, and people are not used to it.
Players from both sides lined up to enter Old Trafford.

The stadium was packed, and tens of thousands of spectators burst into cheers when the home team entered the stadium.

West Bromwich Albion's league situation is very good. After 28 league rounds, West Bromwich Albion scored 44 points. With their tough defense, they are a team that is very good at defensive counterattacks.

They defended solidly, relying on two fast forwards to attack Manchester United's defense.

Manchester United, with many main players absent, did not play smoothly. Although they formed a siege against Middlesbrough, the quality of Manchester United's several passes was not very good. Ashley Young tried several passes from the right. The bottom line was passed, and Rashford on the left seemed to be obsessed with cutting in, but his shots only hit the defensive players frequently.

It was West Bromwich Albion who scored first.

In the 208th minute of the game, Middlesbrough caught Manchester United's midfield pass error and launched a quick counterattack after successfully stealing the ball!
Ramirez advanced at high speed from the wing and then crossed the center.

Negredo rushed to shoot in front of Smalling, Romero looked at the ball and sighed, and could only watch the football hit the net! !

After taking the lead, the morale of West Bromwich Albion was greatly shaken. They got counterattack opportunities in the next few minutes. If the two forwards were not incapable of seizing opportunities, Manchester United might not be behind by one goal.

Ancelotti frowned. The national team match day has a great impact on the state of Manchester United. Apart from the injured, the exhausted Manchester United players look very tired. On the other hand, Middlesbrough, because most of their players are not from various countries. The team's international players, so their physical fitness is very good! !

Fortunately, near the end of the first half, Ashley Young's cross was passed into the penalty area.

When Li Qingshan arrived, he couldn't make a direct header, so Li Qingshan simply stopped the ball with his chest, then turned around and shot.

The football hit the defender's foot and luckily bounced into the goal.

Manchester United equalized the score.

In the second half, West Bromwich Albion's intensive defense caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United.

The game continued until close to injury time, and the score was still one to one.

West Bromwich Albion was actually very satisfied with being able to score a point against Manchester United, so they recovered across the board and prepared to hold the last draw.

However, in the No. 90 minute of the game, the old captain Carrick, who started the game and played the whole game, stood up.

Li Qingshan received a long pass from his teammate in the penalty area, and he headed the ball back accurately to Carrick's feet in the open space at the front of the penalty area.

Carrick stopped the ball and then volleyed!
The football hits the net from a dead corner! !

Lore! !
Manchester United struggled to win at home.
