Football irons are burning

Chapter 379

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United finally ushered in a home game.

They have won the previous two away games, and of course there is no reason not to win this home game.

The opponent Lyon has one win and one draw, and is two points behind Manchester United. If Manchester United wins this game again, it will lead the opponent by 5 points, and there is basically no suspense in qualifying for the group.

Not long after the game started, it was the visiting team Lyon who took the lead.

Benzema received the ball outside the penalty area and was brought down, Lyon won a free kick.

Juninho kicked a tricky deciduous ball and broke through the goal guarded by Howard.

0:1, Manchester United fell behind at home.

This Juninho really deserves to be a master of free kicks. The angle of the ball is extremely tricky, and it flew in against the lower edge of the crossbar.

Even top goalkeepers such as Buffon, Cech, Neuer, etc., may not be able to save.

But not long after, Ronaldo forced a cross from the wing. Rooney missed the right position with a touch in front. Li Tie waited in the back and scored with a burst shot, 1:1!

This is Li Tie's ability to grab points, which is very effective.

After equalizing the score, Manchester United continued to attack.

At this time, the situation on the field was gradually controlled by Manchester United.

On both sides, Ronaldo and Giggs took turns attacking the opponent's defense, while Rooney and Li Tie in the middle were looking for opportunities to score goals.

In the 19th minute, Giggs changed direction from the left and broke into the penalty area and was tripped by an opponent player. The referee awarded a penalty kick.

Li Tie achieved it overnight and overtook the score to 2;1!
Although the penalty kick is not good-looking, the effect is indeed obvious.

Li Tie has never missed a shot, and this penalty completely confuses the Lyon team.

In the 29th minute, Li Tie received a dunk from Ronaldo in the middle, and then quickly volleyed. The ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal, 3:1!

Li Tie's movements were quite coherent, his dunks and shots flowing like flowing water, and his opponent's defense was as if made of tofu.

Before the end of halftime, Ronaldo received Li Tie Zhisai to forcefully cut into the penalty area, and then shot from a small angle and scored from a close angle, 4:1!

It's done at halftime, and it's time to call it a day.

In the second half, Manchester United replaced Solskjaer, Saha and Rossi, and replaced Li Tie, Ronaldo and Rooney.

Obviously, this is training new players.

With this score, of course the main players should take a rest.

After all, during this period of consecutive double matches for a week, the physical consumption of the main players is still very high.

When Li Tie came down, he also told Keane that he hoped to continue playing, but Keane still persuaded him to give the rookies a chance now.

The teenager Rossi was active after he came up. In the 60th minute, he kicked a curved ball from outside the penalty area and hit the ball into the bottom corner of the goal. 5:1, Manchester United continued to expand the score.

Rossi's footwork is also good. After training with Li Tie, he also learned a lot, especially the control of his feet.

Li Tie knows that Rossi's career is not good, so he also takes good care of him, how to move, how to exert strength, avoid injuries and so on.

Following a master, it is easy for Rossi to get enlightened.

This goal is a typical clever shot, not powerful, but the angle is very tricky, the opponent's goalkeeper has nothing to do.

Then the Lyon team also caught Pepe's mistake and scored a goal in the penalty area by Benzema, regaining another point.

In the 77th minute, Solskjaer also scored a goal. He scored Rossi's through shot and finally locked the score at 6:2.

In this group, there is indeed a big disparity in strength. The Ligue [-] champions have lost so badly, and the other two opponents can also be imagined.

After this round of competition, the Champions League group stage will be temporarily rested for two weeks.

Two weeks later, Manchester United will continue to host Fenerbahce at home, and it is estimated that it will be the day to qualify early.

Back in the league, Manchester United easily defeated Middlesbrough 4:1 at home, and then swept Derby County 1:5 in the Queen's Cup to enter the third round.

In the 9th round of the league, Manchester United challenged Nottingham Forest away. This is also a duel between the top and No.2. If Manchester United loses, the opponent will replace them.

After the new boss took over, the strength of Nottingham Forest has been further strengthened. The cooperation between Morientes and Zikic on the front line is also good. In addition, the French midfielder Micoud dug from Bremen, the cooperation between the three is quite good.

After the game started, the opponent was also the first to attack.

In the 9th minute, Micoud sent an overhead ball, Zikic flicked the ball, and the ball fell to the feet of Morientes who was going forward. Morientes pushed the ball and the ball bounced on Heinze's feet, which actually helped him.

Howard couldn't make a save, the ball rolled into the goal, 1:0, the home team took the lead.

The city square was also full of cheers. This season, Nottingham Forest fans also have great expectations for the team. If they can win against Manchester United, it will undoubtedly increase their chances of winning the championship.

Hiddink also looked satisfied. In the past two seasons, he has also injected the temperament of a strong team into Nottingham Forest.

And Keane didn't change his expression. It's still early in the game, and Manchester United's offense has not yet shown its power.

However, shortly after the start of the game, Ronaldo was brought down for a breakthrough from the side, and he did not get up again.

His way of breaking through is indeed very easy to get injured. It is not bad for Ronaldo to be able to persist until now before being injured.

Luo Teng immediately entered the game to replace Ronaldo.

In the 13th minute, Li Tie received Luo Teng from the middle, turned around and volleyed vigorously, and the ball also hit Conte.

The future marshal also fell.

It seems that he is still old after all. At the age of 35, it is already difficult for him to withstand such an intense confrontation.

Li Tie didn't do it on purpose, but his shots have always been very powerful.

Both sides lost a general.

In the 19th minute, Li Tie forced a breakthrough in the middle, and the continuous physical confrontation made the opponent's backcourt a mess.

Li Tie then sent a clever through ball. After Rooney stopped the ball, he volleyed vigorously from a diagonal line. The ball drew an arc and entered the goal. Fredell had no choice. 1:1, the two sides returned to the same starting line.

After Ronaldo went down, the main assault point was Li Tie's place again. Giggs shared the marking point with Rooney, so he also inserted into the penalty area this time, and Rooney got a chance to shoot calmly.

The trident combination still works.

The game continued, and both sides became more cautious afterwards, and seemed to be more satisfied with the draw.

No one wants to make another mistake and give the opponent a chance to overtake.

The game became more dull.

However, Manchester United's offense is still sharper.

In the 33rd minute, Li Tie took the ball in the middle and suddenly accelerated, and then made a horizontal move, completely throwing off the opponent's defense, and then volleyed with his left foot from outside the penalty area. This is a change.

Fredell is also a quick side attack and saves the ball.

This goalkeeper is really good, and he reacts faster than Howard on Manchester United's side. The two are also the No. [-] and No. [-] goalkeepers in the United States.

In the subsequent corner kick, Li Tie took the kick, Pepe leaped high, and the ball smashed into the near corner of the goal, 1:2!

This is also the final score. In the following games, both sides were cautious. Manchester United stepped up their defense, and the opponent had no chance to score.

Manchester United finally defeated Nottingham Forest away and won nine consecutive league victories.

Manchester United's lead has also expanded to 5 points. This is a good gap, which can make Manchester United rest assured to stay at the top of the list.

After knocking down 9 opponents in a row, Manchester United sang wildly all the way, completely ignoring the teams from all walks of life.

It is said that it is a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk, now it seems that Manchester United's horses have already galloped on the battlefield of the Premier League, and they are taking the lead.

This season, everything seems to be stronger, and another triple crown honor is beckoning to Manchester United.
