Big back

Chapter 931 Return to Manchester City
Fan Bizhuang's "holiday" was relaxed and happy, but Manchester United, far away in Manchester, had a difficult time in this cycle.

After a difficult reversal victory over Aston Villa in the away game, Manchester United rushed to the away game non-stop for the fifth round of the Champions League group.

In the case of qualifying ahead of schedule, Manchester United, which is not under much pressure, did not send all the main players, which also paved the way for the subsequent "Waterloo". The absence of Fan Bizhuang and Kaka is also in this game. It is obvious.

In the case of conceding a goal first in the first half, Manchester United launched a fierce counterattack in the second half, but with little effect, but in the No. On the arm, a controversial penalty was awarded, and Ryan Giggs hit the knife to equalize the score.

This is also the final final score, Manchester United struggled to get a draw away.

The group has already qualified ahead of schedule, no matter what the final result of the game is, it will not affect the overall situation in essence, so Ferguson is quite satisfied with this score.

However, Manchester United's record of victory on all fronts this season came to an abrupt end after this game.

There has never been a team that wins forever in the world, and Ferguson didn't care about it, but after the game, the media were as if they had been beaten with blood, and they collectively erupted.

"1:1! Manchester United's golden body is broken!"

"The pace of victory in the European battlefield has been suspended, can the Premier League be far behind?"

"Glasgow Rangers have become heroes against the dragon, the heroes of the Premier League are on their way!"

"The last round of the league was difficult to win, this Champions League group stage was a difficult draw, and the next game... will Manchester United usher in the first defeat of the new season?... Facts have proved that without Fan, Manchester United is not invincible! "

The media's "yelling" did not cause much ripples except for making Ferguson very unhappy, but as if "God predicted", the performance of Manchester United, who returned to the league after the Champions League game, was indeed unsatisfactory.

On November 11, Manchester United ushered in the challenge of Wigan Athletic at home.

Manchester United is the leader of the league, while Wigan Athletic is only one step away from the underdogs in the relegation zone. In the bitter battle.

In the end, Manchester United won the game 1-0 with Ferdinand's header. Although they scored three points, the process was too thrilling. Wigan Athletic defended for nine and 10 minutes throughout the game. The Manchester United Iron Guard stepped forward. I am afraid that Manchester United's league winning streak will really come to an end.

Rao won the victory, but the price Manchester United paid was not small. Rooney left the field injured in a collision with a defensive player in the first half. According to the team doctor's preliminary diagnosis, it was a thigh muscle strain, although it was not too serious. But for the sake of safety, it is estimated that Rooney will not be able to represent the team within two weeks.

This is not enough, the team captain Neville also sprained his right foot during the fight, and the veteran had no choice but to enter the injured list and hang up the exemption card.

In addition to the two wounded, Manchester United also got a ruby ​​​​God of War card in the game. Although Wigan Athletic was unable to defend most of the time, the few counterattacks created a lot of threats. Once, it became a one-handed trend. Carrick, who was chasing back, had no choice but to shovel. Although the offensive of the visiting team ended, he was sent off with a red card for deliberately blocking.

Two players were injured, one player was sent off with a red card, and Manchester United's winning streak continues, but the price is too high. It is really hard to tell whether a victory or three players will not be able to win in the next round. Who is more cost-effective to play.

Three consecutive games, the process is extremely difficult. Although the league continues to win, Manchester United is still far ahead in the standings, but the decline it has shown is also very clear.

The league is a long cycle. In such a long period of time, it is very unrealistic to want to always win, unbeaten, and maintain a very high level. There are peaks and troughs. Normal rules.Even if Manchester United is the recognized overlord of the Premier League, it is impossible to violate this rule.

But the fact is that Manchester United have performed too brightly at the beginning of this season. Everyone is extremely shocked by the strong momentum they have shown, and they have higher "expectations". , all kinds of voices will inevitably appear.

"Manchester United's winning streak seems to be coming to an end!"

"Sir Alex has to make targeted adjustments to his team, their state is going downhill!"

"I am worried about Manchester United's prospects for the next game..."

And many media are "revisiting the old things". Although they have previously pointed out that after the absence of Fan Bizhuang and Kaka, Manchester United's strength will be greatly weakened, but because Manchester United is still winning consecutively, This argument is not supported by too many people, but at this time Manchester United was tied in the Champions League, and it was difficult to gain three points after losing troops in the league. Many people began to agree with this point of view.

"Facts have proved that today's Manchester United is indeed suffering from dependence. Without Fan, every step of their progress is extremely difficult!"

"The good news is that in the next round of the league, the suspension period of Fan and Kaka will pass, and Manchester United will usher in the return of the strongest players!"

"... We are still worried about the prospects of Manchester United... After leaving the team for nearly half a month, it is still unclear what the status of Fan is. The most important thing is that the current Manchester United has lost so much The main players, even if Fan and Kaka return in due course, without helpers, they will be unable to support themselves!"

"Perhaps the first loss of the new season will be in the next round!"

……

Fan Bizhuang returned to Manchester City amidst all kinds of negative voices about Manchester United.It was Kaka who returned to the team to report almost like him.

The return of the two of them is a shot in the arm for Manchester United, whose current situation is not good, and it can even be said that the military spirit is somewhat turbulent.

The return of the two lovers made Ferguson, who has been mentally and mentally exhausted for a while, a little relieved. Although the team has encountered many problems at present, the outstanding abilities of the two ace players may be able to help the team in trouble. bring about beneficial changes.

However, what worries Ferguson a little is that there has been no systematic training for more than ten days. On the training ground, although the two players are actively involved, their performance is very average. The card seems to have not entered the state.

This is also caused by the different playing styles of the two people. They also missed more than ten days of training. Fan Bizhuang, who is strong and fit, still has his foundation. It's a big problem, but Kaka is different. Confrontation is not his strong point, and his body has not recovered to the best condition, so the various movements in training will inevitably be a little slow.

The different performances of the two players also made Ferguson hesitate about the starting list for the next round of the league. He decided to observe and observe. If he could not meet his requirements, then he could only temporarily let the two lovers sit on the bench Been waiting for a while.

The British media industry is extremely developed. The training content at the Carrington base was quickly disclosed by the reporters. The poor performance of Fan Bizhuang and Kaka in the training was naturally also disclosed, which made the media's " Manchester United " The voice of bad-mouthing became more violent.

"After returning, Fan's performance is very disappointing!"

"The Brazilian was called aside by Sir Alex Ferguson, and then Kaka was alone on the side, training alone with the physical coach."

"The return of the two superstars does not seem to have brought much help to Manchester United. At least in the next round of the league, whether the two stars can play is still a big question!"

"This is the best chance to beat Manchester United! Many main players are absent, Fan and Kaka are not in good condition, maybe Blackburn will have the hope of becoming the hero of 'slaying the dragon'!"

In the face of all kinds of doubts and disbelief, Ferguson still showed a tough side. He was still full of confidence in an interview with reporters: "I still say that, no team in the world can win forever, we All I can do is try my best to win every game. No matter how many difficulties we encounter, this cannot be changed. My boys and I will always have a strong heart chasing victory!"

Ferguson's speech gave many worried Manchester United fans a reassurance, but more media and fans of other teams thought that the Scottish old man was just a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. The current situation of Manchester United is so difficult and they want to continue. The momentum of winning streak is not so difficult.

Tactical issues can be adjusted, but there is not enough manpower. Even if you are the top chef and have no ingredients, you still want to make a pot of delicious food with all colors, flavors and flavors. Dreaming?
……

Regardless of the voices from the outside world, the new round of the Premier League is still coming as scheduled, and the Dream Theater has also ushered in the door-to-door challenge of the mid-range team Blackburn.

As expected by the media before the game, Kaka's name did not appear in Manchester United's starting list. Obviously, the Brazilian star who just returned to the team has not returned to the best condition of his body, so he can only sit on the bench.

Not only that, Manchester United's starting lineup also has a lot of young faces, the absence of Neville, Scholes, Carrick, Rooney and Owen, this is almost half of the team's main lineup, in these positions , Ferguson can only use substitutes and rookies.

Such an unfamiliar starting lineup made the Manchester United fans at home worried, but what made them feel a little relieved was that Fan Bizhuang's name appeared on the starting list.

In the team's most difficult moment, the "King of Manchester United" was still able to lead the team, which is the greatest consolation.
