Chapter 350 The Test of Manchester United

Arsenal's three-game winning streak at the beginning confuses many people's minds, making them think that Arsenal is performing "The Return of the King", but it is an indisputable fact that the opponents for these three consecutive victories are not strong.

And after successive defeats at the feet of the Manchester City duo, Arsenal were also labeled as a "pseudo-strong team" by people.

A team can get guaranteed points for defeating a weak team, making them eligible to compete for the championship, but only by scoring points against a strong team can they have the possibility of winning the championship.

On this point, Arsenal need to add a little bloodiness.

Fortunately, young people should always be given some time to grow up.

At the end of this round, the only teams with two or four consecutive victories, Chelsea and Tottenham, encountered different results.

Chelsea come to the Britannia Stadium to challenge Stoke City.In this game, Chelsea once fell into desperation. Faye of Stoke City took the lead in scoring with a header.Then Chelsea scored a goal in the last moments of the second half and turned things around.First, Drogba turned around and volleyed beautifully in the first half, and then Malouda shot coldly in the opponent's penalty area in the second half.Chelsea are lucky to win 5 consecutive league victories.

In this round, Tottenham were overturned by Ferguson's Manchester United.They won the game 3:1 at White Hart Lane without bloodshed.

After five rounds, the pattern of the Premier League this season began to slowly emerge.

Chelsea, which has won five consecutive victories, ranks first and leads the standings alone.

Manchester City, with four consecutive victories and one game less, ranked second with 12 points.

In the 12-point bracket, there are also Manchester United and Tottenham, who are third and fourth.

Fifth and sixth in the back are Arsenal and Liverpool.

At the end of the first decade of the Premier League, the runway of the Premier League championship showed a situation of the top six contending for the title.

There is suspense, isn't it good-looking?

Everyone is more or less a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, and now Chelsea, which has won five consecutive victories, has become the target of public criticism for everyone to see.

Can Chelsea get a longer winning streak?
In other words, who can stand up and stop Chelsea?

People can't help turning their attention to the next round of the league.

Chelsea's opponent is Tottenham, which has just broken its winning streak.

Can Tottenham catch up and unseat Chelsea?
But in addition to Tottenham vs. Chelsea, there is another league game, which is very attractive.

Manchester Derby!

In the Community Shield one and a half months ago, Manchester City defeated Manchester United, which lost Ronaldo, 3:1.

Now after losing Ronaldo, after another month and a half of running-in, Manchester United once again stood in front of Manchester City.

This month, under the leadership of Ferguson, Manchester United stumbled at the beginning, then gradually improved, and finally defeated Tottenham and Arsenal one after another, making people no longer doubt this old strong team.

Now that the league has played five rounds, Manchester United has four wins and one tie, Manchester City has one less game, and they have won four games in a row.

Public opinion generally believes that this game will be a close game, and it will also be a watershed game.

If Manchester United wins, they will completely get rid of the shadow of Ronaldo's departure and establish a strong self-confidence.

Once Manchester United loses, I am afraid that they will not only be labeled as a "pseudo-strong team" like Arsenal, but will also suffer a ten-game losing streak against Manchester City.

From now on, when Manchester United meets Manchester City, I am afraid there will be shadows, right?
As for a draw, that would be pointless.

Of course, there's one more game to go before Duncan and Ferguson face off for the tenth time.

On September 9th, 17 season, the first match of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester City played an away game against the Belgian First Division team, Standard Liege.

There were no twists and turns in this game. Duncan even took only 15 people to the away game, and there were 11 players in the starting lineup, and there was no main force.

Even so, Manchester City still easily won 3:0.

The main players who stayed in the city stadium continued to train under the leadership of Jim Cassell to meet the upcoming Manchester Derby.

The improvement of Manchester United's state has a lot to do with the sudden emergence of Togo's Warcraft Adebayor.

Regardless of character, being able to score 30 goals in a season is a manifestation of hard power in itself.From this point of view, Adebayor is already the top striker in the Premier League.

Although Ronaldo is missing, but with Adebayor, Manchester United's lineup has at least not dropped too much in terms of offensiveness.

Before this game started, news came from another game.

Chelsea defeated Tottenham 3:0. While giving the opponent a losing streak, they also temporarily opened the point gap between themselves and the Manchester City duo to 6 points.

Such a result further stimulated the psychology of the two teams.Once the score is decided, the gap with Chelsea will widen to 6 points.The league has only played 6 rounds, such a gap in points is obviously unacceptable.

So under various circumstances, this game has become more interesting.

In this game, the atmosphere at Old Trafford was raised to an unprecedented height, and the cheerful atmosphere resounded throughout the stadium and soared into the sky.

Even in a hotel ten miles away from Old Trafford, the voices of the fans can be heard.

"Wow, this game looks like it will be very lively." Before stepping on the bus, Duncan said when he heard the thunderous sound in the stadium.

"It is said that the tickets for this game were sold out a week before the game." Andy Cole said: "The fans seem to be looking forward to this game."

"I hope that Manchester United can show some strength, not like it was a month ago." Duncan said with a smile, and then boarded the bus.

The players behind filed in.

For the strong, the dialogue with the strong is definitely a very interesting game with a great desire to fight.

When a game brings together words such as "derby", "championship" and "ten-game losing streak", and the opposing sides are still two top-level teams, it is enough to have a very strong impact on an ordinary fan. Want to see the desire.

For this game, more than 160 media outlets around the world broadcast the game live.

"Wow, this atmosphere is almost catching up with the Champions League final." When warming up, Fellaini put his hands on Snes' shoulders, doing traction movements, and said "inadvertently" at the same time.

"Is that how the Champions League final is?" Sneijder raised his head and looked at the stands around him.

Various flags and slogans kept waving, and Sneijder also saw someone in the stands holding a sign with the slogan "Wesley Sneijder" and waving it.

Sensing Sneijder's gaze, the opponent waved more enthusiastically.

Compared with the Spanish national derby, the Manchester derby seems to be more explosive.

Ned lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Is this the Manchester Derby?

It feels good.

After the players warmed up, they all returned to the locker room.

"Gentlemen," Duncan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "How does it feel to participate in the Derby? Are you excited?"

"Very good, Boss." Ashley Yang smiled, "It's even better than when I did that!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Very good, remember this feeling!" Duncan snapped his fingers, "I don't know if you have heard the cheers and cheers outside, I am very excited to hear such voices, and I really want to go out to fight! In this way On the stage, every blow is sharp! The football field will always be the world of the brave and the grave of the cowardly. Only by igniting yourself can you give Manchester United a look. Gentlemen, ten consecutive victories Manchester United, are you ready?"

"Get ready!" The boys were full of energy, and everyone was gearing up and eager to try.

"Very good, let's go." Duncan waved his hand: "The old man has warmed up the wine, waiting for you to drink with your opponent's head!"
