Chapter 47
The match between Manchester United and Aston Villa ended in the first half. With the exquisite cooperation of Ince, Giggs and Lee Sharp, Manchester United temporarily led Aston Villa 1-0 with a goal scored by Lee Sharp.

In the second half, unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly, and Aston Villa began to attack aggressively.Once oppressed Manchester United to breathless.

Jost was not as fierce as in the first half due to a yellow card on his back, and Villa No. 10 Atkinson was a huge threat to Manchester United. He deliberately attacked from Jost to lure Jost into receiving a yellow card.

During a defensive counterattack, Manchester United got a left corner kick in the front field. The corner kick was taken out by Villa's central defender, and the ball reached the feet of Atkinson, No. 10 of Villa.

Atkinson began a long-distance attack with the ball.First, he passed the central defender Bruce who stepped forward to fight for the header, and then passed the ball alone, passing Ince.Giggs passed the pass, but the interception was not good, and Atkinson also passed.

Now there are only two Manchester United players in front of Atkinson, one is Jost and the other is right back Parker.Parker is mainly offensive, and the defense can only be said to be improvised.Jost wanted to stop Atkinson.

If Jost hadn't had the previous yellow card, he would have brought down Atkinson with a tactical foul without hesitation, but now he has a yellow card on his back, and if he fouled, he would be sent off with a red card, so Manchester United would be even more passive.

Just when Jost was thinking about committing a foul, Atkinson had already killed at high speed, and Jost decided to entangle him first and wait for the support of his companions.

Jost greeted Atkinson, but Atkinson seemed to be on drugs, and he was kicking crazy. He came up with a trick of "two kicks", also known as "left and right kicks".

When Atkinson approached Jost with the ball, he stepped on the football with one foot and pulled it back. While pulling the ball, his body jumped up slightly, and the other foot kicked the ball forward, and then quickly passed Jost.

Jost knew that he was being chased back quickly, and Parker didn't dare to rush up and kept retreating.Jost followed closely behind.

Atkinson entered the Manchester United penalty area and made a fake shot. Parker lost his center of gravity when he was defending and showed the angle of the shot. Atkinson pushed the ball away and stuck Jost with his body.

Atkinson hit Schmeichel's close corner with a shot. Schmeichel missed the ball and the ball rolled into the net. Atkinson singled out five Manchester United players and scored a goal.Chase the score to 5:1.

The near corner miss also made Schmeichel lose face.He was so angry that he cursed the letters that start with F and end with K.Greetings were also made to the female members of Parker and Jost's household.

This made Jost hear that Jost was going to beat Schmeichel, but fortunately Parker stopped him in time, otherwise Manchester United would become a joke.

Bruce rushed back and mediated with Jost and Schmeichel. Bruce said, "I don't care what conflicts you two have. Now it's a game and you represent Manchester United. Don't smear you with this jersey. Just focus on the game."

Under the mediation of Bruce, the two expressed that they would continue to concentrate on the game.

Then the game continued, and Aston Villa, who had pulled back the score, boosted their morale and continued to attack Manchester United. For a while, there was panic in front of Manchester United.

As Villa stormed Manchester United's defense, Schmeichel became the busiest player on the field for a while. Villa had several high-quality shots, forcing Schmeichel to make consecutive wonderful saves.Then Schmeichel loudly instructed the defenders to pay attention to defense.

Jost's defensive task became even heavier. He desperately intercepted interference in the midfield. After withstood the opponent's mad attack, Manchester United's counterattack was also extremely sharp.

On the offensive end, Manchester United's two left-footed fast horses have the chance to end the game.

First, Jost made a steal from the backcourt and passed it to Ince. Ince found Giggs with a long pass. Giggs' counterattack had formed an excellent opportunity to face the goalkeeper. Unfortunately, the last shot hit the post. Then Lee Sharpe also got a chance. His shot was weak and was slightly injured by the goalkeeper.

When the game was about to enter injury time, Lee Sharp broke into the penalty area after receiving a pass from Ince. He firmly grasped this single-handed opportunity, and a low shot with his left foot pierced the opponent's goal, 2:1!Lee Sharpe scored twice to seal the victory, and Manchester United struggled to win away.

After Lee Sharpe scored the key goal that sealed the victory, he once again performed in front of fans and TV cameras his obscene celebration of putting his hands on his chest, stroking his chest, and then dancing with his hands on his hips and twisting his buttocks.His good buddy Giggs also came to perform with him.

When they played Southampton away, Manchester United welcomed Cantona, who has become the soul of the team, back from injury.Robson was injured and Jost continued to start.

But it was Lee Sharp who shined in this game. He first scored a goal after receiving a wonderful pass from Hughes, opening the door for Manchester United to score.

Then he made a precise cross from the left to assist Cantona to score with a header, and then made an assist for Erwen who inserted in the back, helping Manchester United to finally lock the score at 3:1.

Lee Sharpe was the best player in two straight games.His unique wretched dance frequently performed in the Premier League.

Manchester United started with a wave of four wins and one draw. By the end of August, they had begun to lead the standings.Behind are the traditional strong teams Liverpool and Arsenal in hot pursuit.

Entering September, Manchester United will play four league games.The opponents are West Ham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Swindon.

Lee Sharpe continued to shine on the green field. He first inserted on the right, like a parachutist descending, a powerful header into Giggs' cross from the left, opening the scoring for Manchester United.

Then he broke through the wing and provided an assist for Bruce's header.

And Cantona showed strong control over the game. Cantona made a wonderful pass from the front of the penalty area and tore through West Ham United's defense. Jost succeeded in countering offside. Put a full stop.

Against Chelsea and Manchester United, they had their first defeat of the season, and that game was full of weird factors.

Manchester United had the upper hand and had far more shots than their opponents. Cantona even missed goals one after another. The empty goal 4 yards in front of the goal was kicked by Cantona. A super long-range lob shot hit the crossbar, and then a header from 4 yards in front of the goal was unexpectedly missed.Jost was also infected by Cantona and missed an empty goal.

Manchester United was punished for wasting opportunities. The opponent only relied on a seemingly unreliable long-range shot. Schmeichel dropped the ball and Chelsea's players followed up with a supplementary shot. In this way, Manchester United won 1:0.

Ferguson said at the team press conference after the game that the whole team seemed to be under a spell and would not shoot.Expressed helplessness for the loss of this game, and also reminded the Manchester United team that Manchester United is not invincible in the Premier League.

Back at home, Manchester United met a strong opponent Arsenal in the eighth round, but Cantona found his state in the recent training and showed his prowess. He beat Seaman with a heavy free kick from 30 yards away. Manchester United took the lead 1:0.After the game, Jost was scored 1 points by the media.

Manchester United's opponent in the ninth round is the weak Swindon team.Kanchelski's long-range shot gave Manchester United the lead, and Cantona's volley gave Manchester United a 2-0 lead. In the end, Jost intercepted the midfielder and passed it to Ince.

However, the tenacity of the small team is amazing. They took advantage of the arrogance and contempt of Manchester United's defense in the second half, scored two goals in succession, and once tied the score to 2:3, which made the whole Manchester United team tense.

At the last moment, Mark Hughes received an assist from Ince and scored with an accurate header, making great contributions to Manchester United's final 4:2 repulsion of their opponents.

Manchester United's last goal was Joost's steal from the midfield and passed it to Ince next to him. Ince either organized or counterattacked.This has become a style of play for Manchester United, and Jost also ranked second in the league steals list. In front of him is Arsenal's central defender Adams.

But there were two disturbing episodes in this game.One is that Manchester United's defense is too arrogant, which attracted Ferguson's scolding after the game.

The second is that Mark Hughes hardly celebrated with other players after scoring a goal, especially when he scored the final goal, his expression was still calm or even a little indifferent. Among his teammates, only Giggs ran to give Ince a hug.

But the hero who scored the goal did not have any teammates to celebrate.For Ince's extremely difficult assist, Mark Hughes only waited for Ince to come over before signaling to him, and he remained a cold-faced killer ever since.

After the game, there were rumors that Mark Hughes was unhappy at Manchester United and had a willingness to transfer. Ferguson expressed his veto on this news, but Hughes, the person involved, has not given a clear statement.

Manchester United's sky seems to be shrouded in clouds.

At the end of September, Manchester United continued to lead the standings with 22 points, while Liverpool suffered a 4-game losing streak and fell out of the top six. However, a young talent emerged from their front line. He is Robbie Fowler. This talented young man has attracted the attention of major European giants.

Manchester United's only pursuers at this time are Arsenal and Villa.Blackburn, who was favored by media experts this season, is still running in and is tightly ranked 6th in the standings, posing no threat to Manchester United.

In October, Manchester United's league schedule is six games, three away and three home.Two of those six games were in the European Champions Cup.

Manchester United's opponent in the second round is the Turkish champion Galatasaray at the end of the month.Manchester United faced another test.
