Chapter 349 The largest loss record!(1/3)
Chapter 349 The biggest loss record!
In the Premier League era, Manchester United's biggest loss before this season was in the 2011-2012 season when it lost to its local rival Manchester City, with the score at that time being 1:6.
When Balotelli took off his jersey after scoring a goal to reveal the words "why always me" inside, it was considered a classic scene in football history.
And if we go back further, Manchester United suffered three disastrous defeats before they were fully "developed", namely losing to Blackburn Rovers 0:7 in the English League One on April 10, 1926, and losing to Blackburn Rovers in the English League on December 27, 1930.
Lost to Aston Villa 0:7 in the First League and lost to Wolves 0:7 in the English Second League on December 26, 1931.
Due to the age and the fact that Manchester United is now a generational giant, it is generally unlikely that such a big score will be played, so these three games have been forgotten by most people.
But according to this trend today, it feels like it is possible to break this record.
Many people took out their mobile phones to check and "relive" this unbearable history.
Then someone discovered that after entering the 21st century, Arsenal was the team that lost the most games by a big score among the top teams in the Premier League.
Among them, as many as six games were lost by a big score of more than five goals, and the most famous one was Manchester United's 8-2 victory over Arsenal at home on August 28, 2011.
Yes, in the same 2011-2012 season, Manchester United had just defeated Arsenal and then lost miserably to Manchester City.
Therefore, more Arsenal fans are firmly on Chelsea's side:
"Come on, do more Manchester United! Then the team that loses the most in BIG6 won't be our Arsenal!"
Then, everyone saw that Manchester United was preparing to make a substitution.
Obviously, Van Gaal does not want his name to appear on such a record list. This will also be a major stain on his coaching career!
So, he must make adjustments.
Standing on the sidelines preparing to play is Argentina star No. 7 Di Maria.
At this time, the number plate held up by the fourth official showed that the player to be replaced was——
No. 35!
This is Lingard's number!
Lingard on the court looked stunned, but he still ran to the sidelines.
During this process, harsh boos also came from the stands of the visiting team's Manchester United fans.
After reluctantly hugging Di Maria, Lingard sat down on the bench and covered his face with a towel.
"Van Gaal actually replaced Lingard directly! This shows how dissatisfied he is with the youngster's performance."
"You know, Lingard only came on in the second half, and he has only played on the court for less than half an hour."
"Substitutions like this are very rare when there are no injuries. It's no wonder Lingard can't accept it at all. It can be seen from the camera that he may even be crying..."
"During the entire substitution process, Van Gaal did not even look at Lingard. It seemed that he was really angry."
"It can also be expected that Lingard's first-team career with this Manchester United team is coming to an end."
"Pan Yi from Chelsea also watched his performance at close range today. This should also dispel Pan Yi's idea of buying Lingard. Perhaps Lingard will start preparing for the next period of his loan career..."
Van Gaal replaced Lingard with Di Maria. On the one hand, he was really dissatisfied with Lingard's performance. On the other hand, he also wanted to use the Argentinian's impact to attack Chelsea's left wing, which could also alleviate his side's pressure.
Defensive pressure.
This wing, mainly composed of Marcos Alonso, Cancelo and Gnabry, really attacks too hard!
In a short period of time, Gnabry was able to complete two shots and one pass. There was definitely a big problem.
However, Van Gaal soon discovered that his adjustments did not have a very obvious effect.
Because the current Manchester United cannot attack at all!
When there is no way to organize an effective offensive, Di Maria's breakthrough and shooting ability can only be a lice on the monk's head - decoration!
On the contrary, due to Di Maria's defensive disadvantage, Chelsea played more actively on the wing.
After all, he can't follow the opponent's players all the way like Lingard!
Although Lingard seems to be running around blindly, if it weren't for his several blocks and follow-ups, Chelsea would actually have an easier time.
Therefore, in the following games, Chelsea continued to create opportunities and constantly threatened Manchester United's goal, leaving Manchester United in a very embarrassing situation.
Pan Yi also started substitutions, using up the remaining two substitutions.
Willian and Bamford come on, replacing Seat B and Lukaku.
These are two matchup substitutions, that is, two new players are brought in to continue to attack Manchester United's defense.
It seems that Pan Yi also wants to score again!
After 70 minutes, Chelsea's physical advantage will gradually become apparent, and such substitutions will devastate Manchester United's defense!
In the 80th minute, William appeared in the Manchester United half. He received a long pass from David Luiz on the right near the center line.
The Brazilian stopped the ball with his right foot, used a fake move to cut inside, shook McNair away, and then accelerated toward the baseline.
This is William's biggest characteristic, he is strong with the ball, strong in dribbling, and very fast.
If he has any shortcomings, it is that he is somewhat opposite to Gnabry, that is, his awareness of running without the ball is weak.
During the game, you will find that when his teammates have the ball, William will basically not run, but will stand still and ask for the ball. This will actually increase the difficulty of the team's defense.
At the same time, William's ability to cooperate in a small area is relatively poor. His field of vision is not narrow, but in that small area of passing, William does not do well, and the passing accuracy and strength are inappropriate.
However, Pan Yi is sending him on the field now to use his speed and breakthrough ability to tear apart Manchester United's defense, so as to avoid his shortcomings to the greatest extent.
Moreover, in addition to William's strong passing, shooting and dribbling abilities, as a forward or winger, he actually has the attributes of a central midfielder.
He can even accelerate from the midfield to the backcourt and dribble the ball to the frontcourt in an instant. At this time, the opponent can only adopt a foul strategy to stop him, otherwise the probability of being passed by him will be very high.
William has very rich experience and judgment in one-on-one defense. He will not easily steal the opponent, but wait for the opponent to complete the action before intercepting and stealing.
Although he is a forward, he often receives passes from the backcourt to relieve the pressure on the midfielders.
His retracement can also attract the opponent's defenders to press forward, so that once Chelsea gets the ball out of the backcourt, there will be fewer defenders to face, making it easier to counterattack.
Therefore, when the physical fitness of Manchester United players is generally declining, William's appearance will undoubtedly add a lot of trouble to Manchester United, and it will be more difficult to regain the ball.
And now, William is using his advantages: speed and dribbling ability to reach Manchester United's bottom line!
At this time, only Smallin came to block it.
William looked up and observed, then directly passed the ball low and sent it to the small penalty area line.
I saw Bamford nimbly running from the outside of the penalty area, and then easily sent the ball into the Manchester United goal.
"The sixth goal!"
"There are confidants in the sea, oh my God, six to zero!"
"It's already six to zero! Chelsea are playing crazy!"
"This time it was on Chelsea's right wing, which means Manchester United's left wing was completely blown away!"
"William, who just came on the field, has great physical strength, and his speed is too fast! Once he gets into trouble, he is simply unreasonable!"
"He went all the way to the baseline, and then made an accurate cross. Bamford, who also came on as a substitute in the middle, pushed the ball into the empty goal."
"Van Gaal's substitution seemed to have no effect, but Pan Yi's substitution had an immediate effect!"
"Manchester United really lost miserably tonight. They simply couldn't defend against Chelsea's three-dimensional and multi-layered attack!"
"The question now is...will Chelsea continue to score goals?"
"In other words, will Manchester United continue to lose goals? Now they are only one goal away from the record of their biggest loss in history!"
——
five minutes later.
An attack that Manchester United finally organized hit the front edge of Chelsea's penalty area.
Herrera sent a direct pass to Di Maria, but as soon as Di Maria got the ball, he was blocked by Willian from behind.
But these two people are not in sync with each other, so how come they bumped into each other?
It's because William is running more actively. He just returned to the defense and chased all the way to the other side of the penalty area, helping his teammates to prevent Manchester United's attack.
William took the first step and poked the ball away, then used his body to squeeze Di Maria away, then quickly stepped forward and dribbled the ball forward.
Just as Fellaini was about to intercept, Willian passed the ball forward and passed it to Gnabry on the wing.
This time the German youngster began to take advantage of his speed and surged along the left wing, completely leaving all the defensive players behind!
Facing center defender Smalling who finally rushed from the center to cover up the defense, Gnabry made a feint. After swaying slightly at an angle, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an extremely powerful shot.
Big shot!
The angle of the ball was not very tricky, but De Gea, who had already conceded six goals in a row, was in a daze at this time. He just subconsciously reached out to block it, but still let the ball leak from between his hands to behind him.
In the net.
Seven to zero!!!
"hat trick!"
"Gnabry has scored a hat-trick!"
