Greenery Reverses The Madness

May 5th.

The penultimate round of the Premier League is here.

Manchester United's away game against Brighton will be played before Chelsea's home game against Liverpool.

If Manchester United wants to maintain their hopes of defending the title, they naturally need to win the last two rounds of the league.

Then see if Chelsea make mistakes and drop points.

Having just finished playing away in the Champions League, they will face Real Madrid at home in the middle of next week for a life-and-death battle in the Champions League.

Therefore, although the opponents in this league are not strong, the importance of scoring all 3 points still puts a lot of pressure on Manchester United.

Carrick gave the team a long mental massage before the game.

Kashuai has indeed matured.

Under this background, not only did it not panic, it also helped the team reduce pressure as much as possible.

And after calmly analyzing the situation, he said that Manchester United cannot play too aggressively in the away game.

That can easily add pressure to yourself.

It is also not conducive to their home game against Real Madrid.

The team still focuses on stability when facing Brighton.

Brighton are in the middle of the table, unable to move up or down.

In the Premier League where there are so many strong players, it is already very good to be ranked in the middle of the league.

But Brighton will certainly not raise the white flag against Manchester United as easily as a relegation team after careful calculation.

They put on a defensive counterattack posture at home, while Manchester United deployed a 433 formation. What surprised the outside world was that Ye Yifeng did not return to the front line, but continued to serve as an attacking midfielder.

Fee B was pushed to the front line.

Partnering Greenwood and Rashford.

Brighton are well prepared to face Manchester United's stormy attack at home.

But after the game started, Manchester United took control of the situation, but the offensive rhythm was not fast.

Ye Yifeng organized and coordinated the attack from both wings in the midfield and frontcourt, and Manchester United played meticulously.

When Brighton launched a quick counterattack, Manchester United's defensive encirclement and suppression from the midfield created a cutting effect.

The defensive midfielder and defender teamed up to successfully contain Brighton's few counterattacks with more defense and less defense.

The quality of Manchester United's final kick is relatively average, and Greenwood's state after returning from injury is worrying.

At least Carrick didn't see that he had what it took to handle the final game of the season.

Even in today's game, Greenwood seemed a little anxious and failed to control the game well.

After all, I haven't played a game in half a year. I want to perform well and make a key contribution to the team, but unfortunately my body and competitive condition cannot keep up.

Halftime is over.

The two teams were tied 0:0.

During the halftime break, Carrick made some adjustments to individual players, with the focus being on getting Greenwood to adjust his mentality to support the attacking group.

Don't think about playing the C position at this stage, just be a tool player.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Brighton did not simply defend. They tightened their restrictions on Ye Yifeng in the second half.

Ye Yifeng originally planned to increase the frequency of attacks on the penalty area.

But the containment effect can bring better space for Manchester United's two wingers to cut inside.

So he served his teammates.

B Fei and Greenwood's repeated inside cuts were lively, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Adams, who came in from behind, was fouled by his opponent in the front area of ​​the penalty area and won a direct free kick.

Ye Yifeng stood in front of the football without hesitation.

Brighton fans were extremely nervous, and Red Devils fans were also impatient and pinned their hopes on Ye Yifeng.

After taking a deep breath, Ye Yifeng took a running shot!

When everyone thought he would hit a signature curve ball, Ye Yifeng blasted a blast straight into the far corner of the goal!

The goalkeeper blocked the far corner of the goal, but Ye Yifeng's explosive shot still had an earth-shattering effect!

With lightning speed, the football passed by like a white rainbow and hit the blind spot!

The goalkeeper missed the ball and declared the city gate was lost!

Red Devils fans were instantly excited!

At the critical moment, we still have to rely on the big devil!

Ye Yifeng turned around and ran towards the away team's fans' stands with open arms.

As the captain of the team and the spiritual leader on the field, Ye Yifeng knows that he must stand up at this moment.

He was already planning to switch positions with B Fei to go up front, but now this goal made him change his mind.

Wow! Ye Yifeng scored directly with a free kick, and his powerful volley was simple, rough and accurate!

Brighton worked hard to defend their dignity at home, but they still fell at the feet of Ye Yifeng.

Ye Yifeng scored his 49th goal in the Premier League this season.

He set a new Premier League scoring record in a single season, although it is not a new high in his personal career.

But he is expected to increase the number of Premier League goals to the terrifying number of 50 goals.

You must know that except for Ye Yifeng, the Premier League's top scorers in a single season all have records between 30-35 goals.

Ye Yifeng has played in the Premier League for 5 seasons. While winning the Premier League Golden Boot award in each season, he also refreshed the historical list of Premier League Golden Boots. He is all in the top five!

Therefore, Fleet Street can question that Ye Yifeng may fall from the altar in the next two years, but the heights he has reached here are unprecedented!

Even the pressure it brings to latecomers is a historic challenge.

Harland wants to surpass Ye Yifeng in personal performance. The first thing he has to challenge is Ye Yifeng's record of 42 goals in the Premier League in a single season, then 44 goals, 45 goals, 46 goals, and now 49 goals!

Manchester United is back at the top of the real-time standings.

But whether they can maintain their top position depends first on whether they win the game in the remaining time of this game, and then on the result of Chelsea and Liverpool.

In the most critical stage of the championship, Ye Yifeng naturally focuses on the overall situation.

After leading the score, B Fee's position retreated. Ye Yifeng gave up the attacking midfielder position to B Fee, and he further retreated to the central midfielder position.

Brighton is trailing, and they have to wait a little longer if they want to take a chance at home.

Manchester United began to control the rhythm and tried to seize the opportunity for the opponent to counterattack.

However, Brighton's offensive investment is limited, and they want to wait until the last moment to counterattack in a big way.

But Manchester United did not give them such a chance.

In the 74th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng cheated.

Actively select midfield defensive star prize pool.

Van Bommel is on the line.

Carrick made a substitution at the same time.

Greenwood and Rashford came off together.

Replaced by Fred and McTominay.

Manchester United looked like they still had a forward on the field.

But Ye Yifeng is playing midfield.

Instead, Fee B was at the forefront, but did not go too deep into the opponent's defense.

Brighton tried to launch a counterattack, but Manchester United played very conservatively, and the midfield was full of intensity. Even if Brighton got the ball, the offensive organization could not even get into the 30-yard area in front of Manchester United's goal.

It fully explains that if a strong team is shameless, a weak team can only turn around.

When the full-time whistle sounded, the Brighton generals were extremely frustrated.

If you want to kill a thief, you can't save him.

The Red Devils won a key victory. They did their best. Now it depends on whether Chelsea can grasp their destiny!

After the game, Carrick said that Manchester United can forget about the league for now and fully prepare for the life-or-death battle in the Champions League semi-finals.

As for Chelsea?

Even if Chelsea beats Liverpool, Manchester United still has a chance in the final game of the league.

At this time, even Er Dezi took the initiative to stand up and support the team. To put it bluntly, it was because Fleet Street was badmouthing Manchester United during the week, and now the Manchester United management wants to express its attitude.

They fully support Carrick's work.

Er Dezi said that the team's record this season is worthy of praise.

Even if they fail to defend the league and Champions League titles, they will still support Carrick.

Apart from the public opinion stir-up in Fleet Street, Manchester United is actually very united and there are no discordant voices.

The next night, Ye Yifeng watched Chelsea's battle with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge at home.

With Manchester United winning against Brighton.

There are two direct impacts on this game.

The first is to return to the top of the table and put pressure on Chelsea. Chelsea can only maintain its leadership position by winning the game.

Secondly, it was announced that Liverpool has basically withdrawn from the championship group!

Even if Liverpool beat Chelsea, they would be 1 point and 3 points behind Chelsea and Manchester United.

Do you expect both Chelsea and Manchester United to lose in the final game and send Liverpool to the top?

That only exists at a theoretical level.

Therefore, Liverpool's fighting spirit in this game is doubtful.

Fleet Street has also created a conspiracy theory atmosphere, believing that Liverpool may give Chelsea precious 3 points to end the Red Devils dynasty!

As for objective factors, Liverpool stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. There was no consumption in midweek, and the preparation effect was better.

Chelsea played Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals in midweek, which was extremely exhausting and could basically erase their home advantage.

Ye Yifeng was watching the game at home, with Tang Mo and Ye Xiaoxian accompanying him.

This is probably the most nervous Ye Yifeng has ever been when watching other teams play.

Although he and the Red Army are mortal enemies of each other, he always firmly believes that the Red Army's competitive will is respectable, and it is impossible to let Chelsea step on their corpses and dignity to end Manchester United's title defense.

When the game started, Ye Yifeng could be sure that his judgment was correct just by looking at the TV screen.

Liverpool played pragmatically at Stamford Bridge.

Obviously this is not a trick.

Chelsea played patiently and steadily, allowing them to take the initiative to press Liverpool, which was no different than seeking death.

The competition is always tense and close.

The two teams ended goalless in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool took the initiative and penetrated Chelsea's defense with a wave of consecutive fast breaks.

The Reds are one goal ahead at Stamford Bridge!

I am afraid that at this time, Red Devils fans all over the world will be cheering for their bitter rivals Liverpool!

Chelsea began a difficult attack.

It wasn't until the last 10 minutes that the ship finally came to an end.

Liverpool missed the chance to beat Chelsea, but in stoppage time, Haaland scored the equalizing goal!

1:1.

The red-blue war ended in a draw!

Liverpool announced that they have completely withdrawn from the championship.

Stamford Bridge is filled with an atmosphere of loss and regret.

Blues fans may hate Liverpool more than they hate Manchester United at this moment!

Because the Red Army gave them the most critical draw of the season!

Chelsea only stayed at the top of the table for a week!

The league ends after 37 rounds.

Manchester United leads Chelsea by 1 point.

As long as we win the final game, we will create an unprecedented four consecutive Premier League titles!
