Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 510 The next opponent, Real Madrid

Premier League match day, Old Trafford, Manchester United VS Portsmouth.

This game is a contest between the top of the league and the penultimate.Because Manchester United will face Real Madrid in 3 days, the media have speculated that Mourinho will hide most of his main players.

The media's speculation was correct.

In this game, Manchester United's starting goalkeeper Romero; four defenders Bayi, Blind, Darmian, Jackson; four midfielders Carrick, Pereira, Herrera, Pogba; the striker is Rashford partner Qu Bai.

Liu Yun, Ibrahimovic, Hummels, Matic, and Lewandowski were directly "assigned" to the stands by Mourinho.These few people watched the game with Liu Xiaoyan in the loyal stands.

The big mouthed Dunphy said in the commentary: "Manchester United has hidden most of the main players. Except for Pogba and Rashford, all the main players will be rested in rotation."

Fat Bob said: "There is nothing wrong with Mourinho doing this. After all, Portsmouth is weak. Relatively speaking, the first round of the Champions League group match against Real Madrid is more critical."

With the whistle of the referee, the whole game began.

Although Manchester United played from the bench, they firmly controlled the situation on the field.In the 25th minute of the first half, Rashford succeeded in pushing from a small angle in the penalty area. 1:0, Manchester United lead.

In the 40th minute, Manchester United won a corner kick, Rashford took the corner kick, and the fiery Qubai scored a header for Manchester United. 2:0!

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again. In the 51st minute, Portsmouth forward Wilson scored a long shot from the front of the penalty area and scored a goal, 2:1!

The Portsmouth players rekindled hopes of an equalizer.

However, Manchester United immediately extinguished the hopes of the Portsmouth team with a piss.

In the 55th minute, Rashford made a pass from the bottom, and Pogba scored with a header, 3:1!

In the next 30 minutes of the game, the scene was a little dull.In the end, Manchester United defeated Portsmouth 3:1 in the Theater of Dreams.

In the stands, Liu Xiaoyan put her arms around her father's neck: "Ha, Xiaobai scored again! By the way, Dad, I slapped Professor Fake Ariwan hard two days ago. I gave him a gift A big gift!"

Ibrahimovic interjected: "If I'm not mistaken, you gave your professor something. It should be the game ball when Qu scored his hat-trick, right?"

Liu Xiaoyan nodded: "Ha, our professor of law is a diehard Manchester United. Now he should be sitting in a seat in the Theater of Dreams!"

The game against Portsmouth is over, and Manchester United's focus is all on the game against Real Madrid.

Manchester United narrowly lost to Real Madrid on penalties in last year's Champions League final.Whether it is players, coaches or fans, they all regret that game.

In the new season, the new Champions League, Manchester United took a deep breath and vowed to win the Big Ears Cup.

You know, the Champions League champion is the most dazzling jewel in the crown of European football.Any team, no matter how many domestic league titles or domestic cup titles you have won, cannot be regarded as a dominant super giant without being crowned the Champions League.

Manchester United crazily blocked the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, and Community Shield last season. However, they only finished second in the Champions League, which still made Mourinho and his disciples worry about it.

Real Madrid and Manchester United have had a traditional friendship for more than half a century. After the Munich Air Disaster in 1958, Real Madrid gave Manchester United selfless help.Yet the ambition to outwit one's opponent is not incompatible with traditional friendship.

Manchester United's official website even gave a game poster titled "Battle of Revenge".

The day after the win over Bournemouth.

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho talks to his captain Liu Yun in his office.

Mourinho asked Liu Yun straight to the point: "Liu, do you think Qu can be the starter for such an important game against Real Madrid? In other words, who is more suitable to start the next game, Qu Bai or Ibrahimovic?"

After thinking for a minute, Liu Yun replied: "I think Ibrahimovic is more suitable to be the starter."

Mourinho asked: "Why?"

Liu Yun replied: "Although Qu Bai has been in a hot state in the last two games. He scored a hat-trick first and scored another goal in the last game. However, he still lacks experience in important games."

Mourinho nodded: "But Ibrahimovic's current physical fitness is always a problem."

Liu Yun thought for a while and answered: "Ibrahimovic is a stand-up striker. It can make him run less and look for opportunities in the penalty area. After his physical strength is exhausted, let Qu Bai come on the bench."

Mourinho made a joke: "Your little princess won't be happy if what you said just now is heard."

Liu Yun said seriously: "Boss, I'm just discussing the facts. I consider the issue completely from the perspective of the game, without any personal feelings."

"Well, I see. Okay, it's okay, you go back to training." Mourinho said.

At the end of the morning training, all the Manchester United players returned to the dressing room.

Liu Yun told Qu Bai the content of the conversation with Mourinho openly.

"Xiao Qu, don't blame Uncle Liu. I said that from the perspective of a captain. Compared with you who lack experience, Ibrahimovic is obviously more suitable for starting."

Qu Bai did not take it seriously: "Uncle Liu, I completely understand! I am self-aware. I have many shortcomings, and I still need to accumulate experience game after game. The game against Real Madrid is really important. We Absolutely can't lose."

This game is the focus of the first round of the Champions League. Before the game, "Marca" interviewed a group of Real Madrid superstars.

Ronaldo: "I am looking forward to the second duel with the old lieutenant. I will never lose to him."

Bell: "Manchester United is a strong team, and the game against them must be extremely fierce. But we will still strive to get three points in the away game."

Ramos: "As we all know, our group is the most competitive group in the Champions League in the last 50 years. Real Madrid will not be afraid of any opponent. You know, Real Madrid is born for the championship."

Zidane: "I am looking forward to the game against Manchester United. They are a great team. Now there are Chinese twin stars on the front line with Lewandowski. Oh, they also have Ibrahimovic who has come back. . ... Qualifying from the death group is more proof of Real Madrid's strength."

(The author of Fat Pig is here to promote his new book "The King of Treasure Hunting Games". Well, it is more urban. It can be said that it is a sports body and an urban heart. I hope everyone will support it. Book lists, collections, etc., thank you Thank you. I have been preparing for the price appraisal professional qualification exam all autumn, and there are only two changes every day. I am sorry. As for the modification of the plot, what I want to say is... I am sorry for Lukaku and Mkhitaryan. I don’t agree at all It’s a bit too much to go west with a broken leg. By the way, Bournemouth was written as Boursmouth. Because the modification authority of the VIP chapter is three times, it has been used up, so it has not been changed.)
