Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 506 The Group of Death in the Group of Death
The fifth round of the Premier League, Old Trafford, Manchester United VS Wolves.

Founded in 1877, newly promoted Wolves are a founding member of the Football League.At its peak in the 50s, the Wolves won the old League One championship three times. In the late 80s, the performance of the Wolves fell all the way, from the League One to the D League. In 1989, the Wolves, which sank to the bottom, began a slow recovery.After three defeats in the promotion play-offs, they finally broke into the Premier League in 2003.But in 04, they fell to the British Championship again. In 09, they were promoted to the Premier League for the second time. . . 10 years downgrade again.

After a lapse of 9 years, the Wolves returned to the Premier League for the third time.In the first four rounds of the competition, the Wolves had 4 matches, 1 draw and 3 losses, ranking first in the bottom of the standings.In other words, this game is the first and last battle of the Premier League.

In the commentary, Big Mouth Dunphy said: "Manchester United's starting lineup for this game is basically the same as last game. The only difference is that Ibrahimovic appeared in the starting lineup. Now Manchester United's striker has become LIL again, but one of them L went from Lukaku to Lewandowski."

Fat Bob said: "Manchester United has an absolute advantage in terms of strength. The biggest highlight of this game is not the victory or defeat itself, but Ibrahimovic who started for the first time after his comeback!"

The scene on the big screen of the Dream Theater moved to the diehard stands: the old lieutenant's daughter was holding up a poster of "Go Ibrahimovic", cheering for the team with the suspended Manchester United's new wing song.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.

Manchester United firmly took the initiative from the very beginning.The Wolves' ball possession rate in the first two 10 minutes was terribly low, less than 30.00%.

The formation of the Wolves once became 631.

No.205 minutes, Manchester United broke the deadlock.

The old lieutenant Liu Yun hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and Lewandowski shot through the net from close range in the penalty area. 1:0!

Big-mouthed Dunphy said: "The former Bundesliga top scorer is in hot form after transferring to Manchester United! In the scorer list, he is next to the old lieutenant."

Five minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback.

Liu Yun received a pass from Rashford with his back at the front of the penalty area.He turned around with a clean Cruyff and passed the Wolves defender behind him, and kicked decisively!The ball flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal, the ball scored, 2:0!

4 minutes before the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic made a contribution!Rashford made a pass from the bottom, and Ibrahimovic jumped high and knocked on the Wolves' door with a header. 3:0!

"Yeah~" The Manchester United fans in the audience were boiling.They were not only happy that Manchester United led Wolves by 3 goals, but also the return of Ibrahimovic's goal, which made them even more excited!Ibrahimovic has recovered his pre-retirement state.Although Manchester United lost Lukaku and Mkhitaryan on the front line, they have returned Ibrahimovic and the fast star Qubai.Coupled with the old lieutenant Liu of the Premier League Golden Boot, last season's Bundesliga Golden Boot Lewandowski. . .Today's Manchester United striker can be described as luxurious.

Manchester United fans were not happy for long.

After Ibrahimovic scored a goal, he ran towards the camera on the sideline and was about to celebrate to the camera when suddenly he hugged his right leg and fell to the ground.

Ibrahimovic cramp!Cramp appeared in just over 40 minutes of playing!
The team doctor entered the field, and after a simple inspection, he gestured to Mourinho: Ibrahimovic is no longer able to continue the game.

Mourinho had no choice but to make substitutions.Replace Ibrahimovic with Darmian.

Mourinho began to regret not listening to the advice of the fitness coach and directly sent Ibrahimovic to start.It seems that Ibrahimovic can't play the whole game for the time being.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United led Wolves 3-0.

In the dressing room of Manchester United, all the players came to Ibrahimovic one after another: "Ibrahimovic, are you all right?"

Ibrahimovic's legs are being cold-compressed: "It's okay. But I may be really old. I was physically exhausted in less than 45 minutes."

The second half of the game started, and the situation on the court was still one-sided.However, Manchester United's luck did not seem to be very good. In the second half, none of the 5 shots hit the goal frame.

Until the 83rd minute, Manchester United won a corner kick in the frontcourt.Liu Yun took the corner kick, and Bellerin jumped high and headed the ball to the top, and the goal was scored. 4:0!

The next game went into garbage time.Manchester United's superstars are interested in conserving their fitness.The game scene is very dull.

With the whistle of the referee, the game ended and Manchester United swept Wolves 4-0.

Big Mouth Dunphy commented: "With the goals of old lieutenant Liu, Lewandowski, Ibrahimovic and Bellerin, Manchester United beat Wolves 4-0. However, in the 43rd minute of the game, Ibrahimovic's physical fitness Overdrawn, cramp, we have to worry about it. Can Ibrahimovic be qualified to start this season? This is an unknown."

Fat Bob said: "Maybe Ibrahimovic has just returned and has not yet adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League. A goal can still reflect his value. We look forward to his performance getting better and better."

The fifth round is all over.As Manchester City was tied by Arsenal at home, Manchester United temporarily topped the table with 2 points.

Meanwhile, Nyon, Switzerland.

UEFA is in the process of preparing for this season's Champions League.I don't know what happened to UEFA officials.They actually made a decision that there will no longer be seeded teams in the Champions League group stage this season.In other words, there is a good chance that multiple giants teams will meet in the same group.
