Chapter 442 Put on the brakes?
Manchester United is fighting on three fronts, all moving forward together.
The FA Cup reached the semi-finals, and the Europa League also secured a spot in the quarterfinals.
In the next Europa League quarter-finals, their opponent was Anderlecht.
This powerful team from Belgium is very strong, and Manchester United needs to be fully prepared.
However, there are still three weeks until the game, and there is still time for tactical analysis and research.
In the next three weeks, Manchester United's games will not be intensive, and they will temporarily switch to a single-line operation in the Premier League.
Due to season conflicts, the 28th round match against Southampton has been postponed and the time has not yet been determined.
Next, there are rounds 29 to 32.
Manchester United will face Middlesbrough, West Brom, Everton and Sunderland.
Their strength is very average. If Manchester United can successfully win, then their league championship will be completely guaranteed.
Facing Everton, Manchester United must win this game.
Faced with Manchester United's indiscriminate bombardment, Valdez made high passes and low blocks, trying to keep the goal.
Especially the back line of defense is full of loopholes.
In the summer of 2014, he left Barcelona and immediately joined Manchester United.
Manchester United gets a goal back!
Ten minutes later, Xia Xing made another quick forward move, received Mkhitaryan's cross kick, and fired a blast from a position 32 meters away from the penalty area!
He was completely heartbroken and heartbroken about Manchester United.
This game must stop the decline.
However, the opponent also took advantage of several loopholes of Manchester United and counterattacked efficiently, scoring two goals in a row.
It is worth mentioning that the assister of both goals was the same person, former Manchester United player Fletcher.
The referee's whistle sounded and the half game was over.
45 minutes passed in the first half, and the score was 0-0.
Manchester United gets another one!
The game is about to be evened!
Next, Everton tried its best to defend Xia Xing, and Xia Xing decisively gave up the organizing rights.
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again, but Valdes was still brave.
Especially after Sir Alex Ferguson left, neither Moyes nor Van Gaal liked him.
As long as I don't get hurt, I'll be content...
Finally, last summer, he resolutely left the team without any room for negotiation.
Just when everyone thought Manchester United would suffer a disastrous defeat, Xia Xing stood up again.
In the following 30th round of the Premier League, many Manchester United players were in extremely poor condition and lacked physical fitness.
In the end, when the referee blew the final whistle, Middlesbrough managed to hold on to a 0-0 draw and scored one point.
Xia Xing scored twice and performed brilliantly throughout the game.
Outside the penalty area, a blast shot directly broke the net, which was powerful and heavy.
Now they are ranked seventh in the league, only 8 minutes away from sixth-placed Arsenal, and there is still a chance.
This immediately confused Mourinho on the sidelines.
Facing Manchester United with ten men, Everton changed their formation very decisively.
On March 20, Manchester United played Middlesbrough away.
The team he joined was Middlesbrough.
However, the most shining star in this game was not a Manchester United player, but Middlesbrough goalkeeper Valdes.
What is going on?
Although it was a side tackle and some big moves, it wasn't a red card, right?
Pogba made several consecutive breakthroughs and passes, posing a great threat.
2 to 3!
Eventually, he left Manchester United in 2015 and bounced around several teams.
Two assists helped the team take a point from his old club.
For a team like Manchester United with many international players, national team match days are a problem.
Even though Xia Xing was also present, his shots were blocked by Valdez.
2-0, Everton leads by two goals.
In fact, Mourinho wanted to keep him at that time, at least as a rotation or substitute, but he had already decided to leave.
But they couldn't score a goal.
Most people have seen Messi's talent, Habaib's midfield dominance, and even the combination of Puyol and Pique have been praised, but few people have praised Valdez's diligence and stability.
.
The first half ended 0-0, and it looked like Manchester United was playing very steadily.
But in the second half, when the physical fitness of several veteran players began to decline, Manchester United was in trouble.
As an outstanding player trained by Manchester United's youth training, Fletcher has never fulfilled his talent at Manchester United.
Taking the ball on the left wing, he made a landmark personal breakthrough, passed three people in a row, and shot a low shot from outside the penalty area!
1 to 3!
In the end, they tied with West Brom 2-2.
Former Manchester City star Barry sat in the midfield and played two wonderful through balls in a row, accurately finding Lukaku.
As long as they can hold on in the next game, Arsenal, which is fighting on multiple fronts, will definitely fall behind.
Mourinho on the sidelines nodded and praised his opponent.
After all, they are now ten points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, which is a huge gap.
After two consecutive draws, Manchester United's leading points gradually declined.
Everton No. 10 - Lukaku!
The players have returned from the national team, and Mourinho doesn't even care about the status of the players.
Although Xia Xing was present, it was still difficult for them to win.
Soon, Barry also scored.
The ball hit the net!
Under this situation, Manchester United was very passive even with Xia Xing in the midfield.
They just sent off a penalty at the beginning, how to play next?
Everton doesn't care about that much.
The former Barcelona goalkeeper once again produced a world-class performance today.
Rashford low shot in the penalty area!
The ball hit the goalpost and bounced off the baseline.
After all, they have now reached their annual laggard stage...
Manchester United made a certain amount of rotation in this game, but even so, they were much stronger than their opponent's lineup.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the best Barcelona of that era, the importance of the goalkeeper position was absolutely top-notch.
He is low-key, calm and unassuming, and is really a good goalkeeper.
But at Old Trafford, he didn't get a chance.
In the second minute of injury time, Xia Xing's long pass found Rashford.
3 to 0!
Everton coach Koeman immediately adjusted his formation, changing from 4-5-1 to 4-3-3.
In this game, his heroic saves allowed Manchester United to return without success several times.
During his time at Real Madrid, the team coached by Mourinho encountered obstacles from Valdes many times.
The former Manchester City star met Manchester United again, and the Derby blood in his body was rekindled.
Although Manchester United is regretful, the draw is not unjust. After all, they encountered the god-level performance of their opponents.
The winning streak in the league ended, and the next Premier League game will be ten days later.
With his low-key diligence and comprehensive skills, although he often performed well at Manchester United, he failed to become an absolute main player under previous coaches.
Here, he rediscovered the fun of football.
Lukaku also used his speed and body to break through Manchester United's defense and hit the net with a powerful shot.
But unexpectedly, the most eye-catching player in this game was also an opponent player.
Fellaini faced his old club and received a red card shortly after the start of the first half.
"This guy's saves are still so good."
Now at West Brom, he has been in very good form and has become the absolute core of the midfielder for this small team.
National team match day has arrived.
He was truly a god in this game.
They missed their best chance to equalize...
In the end, Manchester United unfortunately lost 2-3 at home.
Suffered the first defeat in the Premier League this season...
