Chapter 957 The winning streak ends, Golden Globe Selection

On January 1st, New Year's Day, the soldiers of Manchester United could not be with their families and enjoy the warmth of the family. They fought fiercely with Birmingham at the St. Andrews Stadium.

On the first day of 2011 and also the first game of the new year, Manchester United naturally wanted to use a victory to give the new year a good start.

The most important thing is that their league winning streak has reached [-] games, which is tied with Inter Milan for the record holder of the longest winning streak in the European League. They only need to win one more game to enjoy the glory alone. Top Europe.

Coming with high expectations, but the final result of the game was disappointing.

In the game, Manchester United scored an advanced goal, but in the second half, the home team Birmingham scored a goal through a counterattack. In the following time, although Manchester United attacked like a wave, they still failed to surpass the score again. 1:1 The score was held until the end.

In this game, Fan Bizhuang came back after lifting the ban, but he did not start the game. He came off the bench in the No. 605 minute of the second half, and just 2 minutes after he played, Birmingham scored an equalizer goal.

Fan Bizhuang's performance was as good and active as ever, but the continuous battles did make most players not in the best physical condition and mentally exhausted. Although everyone worked hard, the final result was still impressive. disappointment.

Manchester United's crazy league winning streak has finally stopped.

The failure to continue the winning streak disappointed all Manchester United supporters, and many media who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal even made unreasonable remarks after the game, saying that this would be the worst for Manchester United. A start for Waterloo.

Although there are many criticisms and doubts, in fact, looking back on the past half season, Manchester United's performance is undoubtedly phenomenal. A winning team.

Therefore, it is indeed a pity that we failed to continue the winning streak and missed the opportunity to create a new record for winning streak in the European League, but it is only a pity. There is no permanent winning team in the world. In this season, achieving such an impressive record has satisfied everyone in the club from top to bottom.

Ferguson didn't have any dissatisfaction with the draw. After the game, he just expressed his regret that the team failed to win, but football is like this. No one can win forever. He can win [-] consecutive games. His team It was enough to make him proud.

……

Manchester United's draw with Birmingham in the away game is one of the biggest upsets in this round of the Premier League. After all, with Manchester United's current winning streak, there is no sign of stopping.

But when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.Still the same sentence, no one in the football world is always victorious. Whether a game can be won depends not only on its own strength, but also on the weather, environment, and various objective factors. Impact.

This season, the Red Devils and Manchester United's four fronts go hand in hand.No matter how strong Manchester United is, external objective factors are unfavorable, and it is impossible to continue winning streak.

To be able to tie the record for the longest winning streak in Europe is already extremely remarkable.

People are amazed that Birmingham, which ranks in the middle and lower reaches of the standings, can draw with Manchester United. At the same time, they are also sighing that Manchester United cannot continue to expand their winning streak. Of course, many media are bad-mouthing, thinking that this will be a turning point. After half a season of hot form, this draw will turn Manchester United from prosperity to decline.

Regarding the outside comments, Manchester United did not feel aggrieved at all. Under Ferguson's appeasement, although the players did not continue to win and set a new European winning streak record, they also accepted the result-in fact, Not bad, without the burden of a complete victory, the pressure on the players will be reduced a lot.

The most important point is that it's just a draw, which has no effect on the overall situation of the league. Let alone Manchester United scored a point, even if they lose the game, or even lose several games in a row, it will affect Manchester United's position in the league standings. It's not a serious injury-Manchester United has accumulated too many points in the first half of the season when they maintained a complete victory, and even this gap has become so large that even the chasing tree teams feel desperate.

Therefore, even if the outside world is sorry or questioned, Manchester United is still the leader of the league. Although some media are dancing for joy, the leader of the league is still Manchester United, the top spot in the league, no one can take it away!
Of course, Manchester United players are still suffocating in their hearts. They have to prove with facts that this draw is just an insignificant small wave in the sea, and Manchester United will soon be able to cheer up and set sail again.

……

The Premier League's New Year's schedule is indeed very intensive, and the tasks are also very heavy. At this stage, the Premier League teams have almost no gaps for rest and adjustment, and double matches in consecutive weeks are commonplace.

Manchester United has played double games a week for two consecutive weeks, and the same is true for this week.

Four days after the end of the game with Birmingham, Manchester United returned to Old Trafford to host Stoke City, nicknamed "the city in the sky".

The results of the Stoke City team this season are not bad. They are currently ranked ninth in the standings, and they still have the qualifications to fight for tickets to the European arena next season.

Originally, the game against Manchester United was not in Stoke City's plan to grab points, but at this time, Manchester United had just stopped their crazy winning streak, and there was a lot of negative voices in the market, which made Stoke City seem to see an opportunity to score points at Old Trafford.

As a result, Stoke City changed their defensive tactics and played very proactively in the game.

The result was obvious. Manchester United, whose winning streak had been terminated, just had no place to vent their anger. Stoke City desperately came up to grab food from the tiger's mouth. Naturally, Manchester United beat Sky City mercilessly.

The final score of the game was 4:1. Rooney, Irving, Kaka and Scholes each scored a goal. Fan Bizhuang returned to the starting lineup in this game, but did not score a goal, but contributed two assists.

The winning streak has just ended, but Manchester United immediately stabilized the situation with a hearty victory, and at the same time proved that they were not affected by the draw in the away game in the last round. They are still the unrivaled giants in the league.

……

Four days later, on January 1, the FA Cup kicked off again.Manchester United ushered in the challenge of Liverpool at home.

This is the second confrontation between two teams with a "feud" this season. The "Double Red Club" is absolutely fierce and hot at any time, even if the two teams did not send their main players to the game. , but sparks are still flying.

Quarrels, quarrels, pushing, fouls, yellow cards...these "essential" things are not lacking, and the two teams also had a large-scale altercation in the second half because Hernandez was in the frontcourt. During the fight, Gerrard was shoveled to the ground, and the two sides were immediately entangled.

In the end, the referee sent off Hernandez with a red card for a malicious foul, and Liverpool failed to take advantage of it. Danish midfielder Poulsen stood up for his teammates and pushed down Scholes, who came over to try to persuade him—since If you do it, there is nothing to say. After sending off Hernandez, the referee gave Paulson a Ruby God of War card.

The two sides are still on the same starting line in terms of numbers. Of course, Liverpool is a little depressed. Originally, they should have the advantage of playing one more player, but because of Paulson's restlessness, they gave up such an advantage.

In the end, the result of the game was 1:0. With veteran Irving's No. 70 goal in the second half, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 1:0 at home and continued to advance to the next round of the FA Cup.

The veteran's state has been extremely hot in recent rounds, scoring goals almost every game, and the efficiency is extremely high. The Old Trafford fans also sent thunderous applause and applause to Owen. Thousands of Liverpool fans booed and shouted like a tide.

After all, Owen became famous in Liverpool. Irving disregarded the club's retention and transferred to Real Madrid, which broke the heart of KOP. After switching to Liverpool's rival Manchester United, this sadness turned into anger and hatred, especially Owen. He also eliminated Liverpool with a goal, and the KOPs naturally couldn't accept it. The voices of "Judas!"

However, the anger and complaints of the KOPs were naturally not taken into consideration by the home fans. They were the ones who won the victory.

In this game, many main players such as Fan Bizhuang and Kaka did not play. The continuous campaign brought great pressure to the team. The FA Cup does not have much weight in Ferguson's heart. If you continue to play, it doesn't matter if you can't advance, so Ferguson took this opportunity to let most of the main players rest in rotation.

Fan Bizhuang and others watched the whole game from the bench. When the victory whistle sounded, everyone got up and rushed into the field, huddled together, and celebrated enthusiastically.

Regardless of whether this event is tasteless or not, the feeling of being able to step on the corpse of a deadly enemy is undoubtedly extremely exhilarating!
……

After the FA Cup match with Liverpool, the Premier League finally ushered in a short rest period.There will be about ten days for the 18 Premier League teams to rest.The next round of the league will start again on the [-]th.

Ferguson gave the players a two-day holiday, and he took Vidic and Van Bizhuang to board a flight to Zurich, Switzerland overnight.
