Football irons are burning

Chapter 380 The Invincible Division
In the third round of the Queen's Cup, Manchester United continued to play Nottingham Forest.

This draw is also completely random, you may draw a low-level team, or you may draw a Premier League team.

There is no doubt that the match between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest is undoubtedly an early stage of the championship.

That being the case, Manchester United did not leave and continued to play against Nottingham Forest.

This time Hiddink's team was more cautious and defended the whole field, which made Manchester United a little helpless.

Of course, Manchester United's defense is also very cautious. For this kind of game that determines the outcome, no one is willing to take risks.

Li Tie also put more emphasis on organization in the game, but Rooney and Rossi failed to seize the opportunity.

0:0 in regular time, the two sides entered overtime.

There were no goals in overtime, and the two sides had to decide the winner through a penalty shootout.

It also became show time for the two American goalkeepers.

For Manchester United, Giggs' penalty was saved by Fredell, but Howard saved the shots of Zigic and Morientes. In the end, Manchester United passed 4:3 and entered the fourth round.

After consecutive matches, the two sides actually know each other very well, and the game was indeed not very good.

In terms of strength, they are indeed similar, and the score is a bit ugly.

However, Manchester United has taken another step towards the Triple Crown. The quality of the Queen's Cup is higher than that of the FA Cup and the League Cup. Therefore, in this year's first Queen's Cup, all the strong teams will definitely go all out, and the chances of being upset are estimated to be much reduced.

In these two games against Nottingham Forest, Manchester United lost Ronaldo, which is also a bad phenomenon.

After all, Ronaldo's role in Manchester United is very obvious.

Luo Teng, who replaced him, passed the ball well, but his offensive ability was several grades worse. There was no standing forward in front of him, and Luo Teng's pass was a bit wasteful.

In the 10th round of the league, Manchester United ushered in the challenge of Arsenal.

Ronaldo continued to be absent, Rooney and Rossi partnered up front, and Li Tie continued to sit in the front midfielder.

In the first 9 rounds, Arsenal tied 6 games. Although they did not lose, they still opened up a 12-point gap with the top of the list.

In addition, in the Champions League, they are also winning consecutive games, and they may gain nothing again this season.

But don't look at Arsenal's poor performance, but they played Manchester United very vigorously.

After the game started, although Manchester United controlled the situation, Henry scored a goal in the 14th minute.

He received a long pass from Parlor in the backcourt and dribbled the ball straight in. After shaking Park Sanfei, Bridge and Heinze in succession, he hit the far corner and scored.

This goal also excited the Arsenal fans who came from afar.

But they were only happy for a few minutes.

In the 19th minute, Li Tie took the ball in the front court and also swayed Parlor, Vieira and Campbell, and then scored the ball into the lower left corner. This goal also broke Campbell's ankle and caused him to end up injured.

Two goals made the game even more exciting.

In the 29th minute, Li Tie took the ball in the front court and broke through again horizontally. Vieira had no choice but to drag him down from behind.

This location is also very good.

Li Tie did it himself, and this time Arsenal formed a wall of 6 people.

After the whistle sounded, Li Tie kicked towards the goal. This time the ball slid out of the outer S arc again, crossed the wall and hit the net quickly, 2:1!

Manchester United overtook the score.

Li Tie also rushed to the sidelines excitedly, passionately celebrating the free kick.

He has also scored a lot of free kicks in his career. Among active players, he should be able to rank in the top five.

Keane was as excited as a child on the sidelines, bouncing around, obviously very satisfied with Li Tie's goal. With such a sharp weapon in hand, Keane is also full of confidence in the prospect of winning this season.

Wenger was a little helpless. Of course, the players had no choice but to lose the ball.

If this game is lost, then the point gap between Arsenal and the top of the list will be even wider. Let alone winning the championship this season, it will be difficult to enter the Champions League.

Therefore, Wenger also walked to the sidelines, reminding the players to speed up the offensive rhythm and strive for the next point in the away game.

After the game restarted, Chen Tao also became active in the frontcourt, continuously using his personal skills to get rid of the defense of Manchester United players, creating opportunities for Henry and Wiltord in front.

In the 38th minute, Chen Tao sent an overhead ball from the front of the penalty area. Henry stopped the ball in the chest and turned around to shoot. The ball bounced off the blocked Heinze.

Chen Tao made a false shot on the field, and his movements were realistic, which shook Pepe. He kicked Chen Tao down, and the referee awarded a penalty.

Henry took the knife and hit the upper right corner of the goal with one kick. 2:2, the two sides drew again.

Henry has had a high scoring rate in recent seasons, and he has also entered the best stage of his career.

It's a pity that Arsenal has been suppressed all these years and has no good chance to turn around.

There are so many strong players in the Premier League, it is not easy to turn around.

Unless they can get a player like Li Tie.

The score was 2:2 in the first half.
After the start of the second half, Li Tie forced a breakthrough in the middle, and then took a long shot. The ball hit the post and popped out, which shocked Lehmann.

In the 55th minute, Roten made a cross from the right. Rooney, who outflanked the goal, was half a beat too late, and the ball slid past the goal.

Three minutes later, Giggs also made a precise pass from the left, and this time Rooney played more positively.

In fact, if he missed it, Rossi's shot might be more effective.

The Italian teenager also shook his head with some regrets. There is no way, who put Rooney in front?If the ball is replaced by him, he may choose to shoot without considering other people's.

After a long attack, the opportunity still came.

In the 66th minute, Li Tie took the ball in the middle and once again attracted the attention of Vieira and Parlor. After he moved a few meters laterally, he suddenly tapped his heel.

Luo Teng came over from the right to meet, took the ball and passed it easily.

Rossi received the ball in front of him and hit it horizontally. Li Tie threw off Vieira's entanglement and shot it. The ball went straight into the upper right corner of the goal. 3:2, Manchester United once again overtook the score!
These few passes are also pleasing to the eye, completely mobilizing the opponent's defense.

Of course, Li Tie's final shot was well controlled.

After many changes, the power of attack is naturally even better.

The Old Trafford stadium was full of cheers. It is not easy to kill the old opponent.

This score is also the final score.

In the later stage, Manchester United also became practical and began to use tight defense to control the situation.

Of course, in the counterattack, Manchester United also had several opportunities, but unfortunately Rooney and Rossi failed to seize the opportunity.

On Arsenal's side, there are basically no good scoring opportunities, and Henry is also regarded as deadly.

Chen Tao was injured and left the field in the 79th minute, which made Wenger frown.

This season, Chen Tao's physique still hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, and he is still prone to injuries.

This also greatly reduced his combat effectiveness. Wenger also complained about this, planning to sell Chen Tao to Atletico Madrid in La Liga, and then help Fabregas enter the first team.

It's not Wenger's fault. After all, Chen Tao's physique really delays things. Going to La Liga may be a win-win result.

Originally, in the summer, Atletico Madrid had already offered 3000 million pounds, but Wenger didn't sell it. He planned to observe it, but now it seems that there is still a problem with Chen Tao's body.

After winning Arsenal, Manchester United led with 10 consecutive victories and set a new record.

In this regard, the media gave Manchester United the title of "Invincible Division", thinking that they may create a miracle this season, that is, to win the championship undefeated or even win the championship with a complete victory!

After Li Tie heard the news, he suddenly became interested. He didn't have this idea before.

No team in the five major leagues has ever achieved a complete victory. Perhaps, in this way, he will not be so reluctant to leave Manchester United, right?

Once this record is created, it will be enough for future generations to look up to.

With this idea in mind, Li Tie also began to communicate with his teammates in private, asking them to go all out in every league game and not be careless.

Teammates naturally strongly support this.

Who doesn't want to set a record?Winning the championship is definitely a great life experience for this group of players. When people mention this Manchester United team in the future, they will also be mentioned.

In this way, why not go all out and leave no regrets?
In the fourth round of the Champions League in the middle of the week, Manchester United easily defeated Fenerbahce 2-0 at home, while Lyon was tied 1:1 by Sparta Prague. Manchester United led No.2 by as much as 7 points and qualified two rounds ahead of schedule.

This kind of advantage is too great to arouse the interest of the media.

Manchester United never seems to take a nap in the Champions League. In this proper state, the chance to upset the group was also killed early in the cradle.

Back in the league, Manchester United defeated Leyton Orient 2:4 away, winning 11 consecutive victories!

Rooney scored another hat-trick, and he also successfully integrated into the team.

Li Tie assisted three times, and the number of assists this season has approached 20.
The teenager Rossi also scored a goal, and his condition is very good. Although Ronaldo is absent, Rossi still played a good role. It seems that Ronaldo can rest assured to recover from his injuries before he comes out.

With 11 consecutive victories, Manchester United's running speed can no longer be reduced!

Manchester City, currently ranked second, remains unbeaten with 8 wins and 3 draws, but is still 6 points behind Manchester United.

Indeed, this is still disappointing.

In the Champions League in the middle of the week, Manchester United has already qualified ahead of schedule, so it is natural to send a substitute lineup to play.

As a result, Sparta Prague was still defeated by 1 goal.

But in another game, Lyon was defeated by Fenerbahce by 1 goal. They were experts in civil wars and amateurs in foreign wars.
