258 A Strong Reinforcement Returning From Japan!
After Braga was overtaken by the score at home, he launched a large counterattack in the final stage of the game, but Manchester United won another goal.
Van Persie, who came on as a substitute, received a cross from Rooney and made a wonderful volley in the penalty area and shot the ball into Braga's goal!
This result disappointed Braga fans.
Manchester United scored 3 points away. After four consecutive wins, they directly advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals due to Galatasaray's 3-1 defeat of Cluj on the away game and secured the top spot in the group.
Galatasaray and Cluj both have only 4 points, and Braga has 3 points. The three teams will compete for a qualifying spot in the remaining two rounds.
After the Champions League, Manchester United returned to the league to visit Villa Park Stadium to face Aston Villa.
Manchester United, which is still the main force, encountered a head-on blow from his opponent at Villa Park!
Abonraho, Weiman, and Bentek, the Villa trident directly collapsed the Manchester United defense line through three quick counterattacks in the first 20 minutes!
Weiman scored twice, and Benteke scored a final shot to expand the victory.
Central defender Smalling, who started today, is really not in shape!
Perhaps it was the continuous battles from the Champions League to the league that made it difficult for him who had just returned to the game, and his disastrous performance put Manchester United in a huge passive position.
Ferguson appeared on the sidelines and was as sank as water. Manchester United was scored three goals in a row by their opponents in 20 minutes!
This kind of scene hasn't been seen for a long time, but it's enough to sound the police for everyone in Manchester United.
Aston Villa played extreme defense from the beginning, seized the opportunity to quickly advance from two or three players to create a threat. If they failed, they would quickly retreat and continue to compress defensive space to limit Manchester United's fast attack.
Tang Hong and Van Persie were closely guarded and restricted at Villa Park Stadium today. Van Persie was a little anxious. After several physical contacts with his opponent, he almost had a physical conflict with his opponent.
Tang Hong was relatively calm, even though he was frequently fouled by his opponent on the wing.
It took Manchester United almost 35 minutes to gradually find its own rhythm in the game. The midfielder was pressed and it was difficult to organize an effective offensive. Tang Hong assisted the midfielder in supporting him, which finally allowed Manchester United to continue to launch a crazy offensive against Aston Villa in the last 10 minutes of the first half!
In the 43rd minute of the game, Van Persie turned around and shot from the penalty area and was blocked. Rooney followed up and passed the ball diagonally to the left. Tang Hong saw Aston Villado players rushing towards him in an active response. He decisively blocked the ball obliquely in the left rib of the penalty area. Shinji Kagawa quickly stepped forward and successfully offside. After receiving the ball, he shot low and sent the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Manchester United scored a goal!
At the end of the first half, Ferguson warned the defense at halftime.
Aston Villa's counterattack in the second half was still sharp, but surprisingly, veteran Ferdinand made several key interceptions and defenses, and De Gea's brave save to Manchester United's defense line was finally in danger.
In the 74th minute of the game, Tang Hong was once again knocked to the ground while controlling the ball on the sidelines in the frontcourt.
He still didn't complain. He quickly placed the ball in the foul position while his opponent's defense was still adjusting. Before he straightened his waist, he shorted the ball to the middle to find Shinji Kagawa. After the latter stopped the ball, he immediately sent a straight pass.
Van Persie was naturally closely guarded. Rooney quickly stepped forward after Tang Hong quickly sent a free kick, and happened to receive Shinji Kagawa's straight pass. He stopped in the right rib of the penalty area and dribbled over a defensive player and then pushed the ball to the goal from the far corner to score another goal for Manchester United!
The score changed from 3:0 to 3:2!
Villa Park's home team fans were very nervous, not to mention the players on the field. Aston Villa successively withdrew offensive players and replaced them with defensive players to strengthen the bus.
Now Manchester United has no worries and is bombing Aston Villa's goal in the frontcourt!
It is not easy for Aston Villa to break through their goal!
Until the 89th minute of the game, Valencia's cross from the right outside the penalty area was cleared. Carrick directly gave a pass against the ground after controlling the ball in front of the center circle.
Tang Hong was running in front of the penalty area and kicked the ball without adjusting!
The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal, like a white rainbow running through the sun!
Aston Villa goalkeeper Gu Zan was stunned, and mechanically turned his head to look at the football and stared straight into the dead corner. No audience in the audience was shocked by Tang Hong's world-class wave!
Ferguson was stunned on the sidelines!
Then he clapped and urged the team to seize the time to fight for a reversal.
Aston Villa's generals were disappointed, but the game was only time to stop injury time. Their current situation could only be further defended to ensure that they would not get the last point!
Manchester United's last-minute attack did not create another threat.
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the Manchester United players were filled with a huge sense of loss!
Even if it was a three-goal draw in the beginning, it was considered a great challenge to chase three goals in a row, but they really couldn't tolerate mid-range teams like Aston Villa!
The locker room was silent after the game. Smalling's proactive apology broke the silence. Everyone was not in a hurry to take a shower, as if listening to a review meeting where a classmate would reform himself.
If it weren't for the three goals conceded by Smalling, he probably wouldn't have to stand up and take responsibility, but it was because of the three goals conceded, one mistake, one defense was not in place, and one directly exploded by Benteke. He couldn't escape the relationship, so he needed to stand in front of everyone in the team to take the initiative to apologize.
But is an apology useful?
After hearing Smalling's confession, Ferguson only said one thing to everyone.
“Hopefully today’s performance won’t be the norm or we are nothing!
Remember, the winner will be respected, especially at Manchester United!”
The pressure in a wealthy family is completely different from playing for Braga.
After failing to win the game, I just look at the reactions of my teammates around me and know that everyone is full of anger and unwillingness because of losing points!
In this atmosphere, Tang Hong can also understand why the wealthy families can give birth to many great players.
Because here we will never compromise with the outcome beyond victory!
Facing non-victory results with a perfunctory or forgetful attitude will easily make the players gradually lose their fighting spirit!
In the past period of time, he fought continuously, especially in the mid-week expedition to Portugal and then to visit Birmingham on the weekend, Tang Hong consumed a lot, and after the league ended, he needed to rush back to China to prepare for the fifth game of the World Cup top ten in November against Jordan.
He went directly from Birmingham to London to meet with Sun Rou and Chen Manhong. After Tang Hong registered, he slept in the luxurious first class.
When he woke up in a daze, he felt a little heavy. When he looked at him, Sun Rou pressed half of her body against her. It seemed that she was so sleepy that she lay down beside him.
Tang Hong carefully got up and got out of bed, allowing Sun Rou to lie comfortably on the bed, cover her with a quilt and go to wash.
After he changed his clothes after taking a shower, he saw Sun Rou sitting beside the bed yawning.
Tang Hong asked, "When did you come to me?"
Sun Rou said listlessly: "It should be when you just fell asleep."
Tang Hong wondered and asked, "Why aren't you staying in your room?"
Sun Rou looked up at him and said casually: "I'm afraid you won't sleep well, or someone will disturb you."
Tang Hong walked over and gently softened her head and said, "Can you still sleep?"
"I can't sleep well, so I'll go back and hug my mother to sleep."
Tang Hong smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a meal."
As soon as he talked about eating, Sun Rou immediately cheered up.
She ordered a table of hearty delicacies, and when she had dinner with Tang Hong, she kept reminding him which one was delicious and let him taste it too.
Tang Hong was so amused and crying. Just as he was having a good time, Sun Rou suddenly bit the spoon and said something vaguely. Tang Hong didn't hear it clearly and said, "Speak well."
Sun Rou put down the spoon and asked bluntly: "Will you marry Bai Mu?"
Tang Hong paused and asked with a strange expression: "Why do you ask me this question?"
Sun Rou said seriously: "Because you will definitely get married in the future, then you need a marriage partner."
Tang Hong didn't know what her thinking was, but this statement was not outrageous.
Tang Hong shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Sun Rou was a little surprised and asked back: "Don't you want to marry her?"
Tang Hong laughed and said, "I never know the answer to something too far away, really.
Or I ask you the same question, will you get married? When will you get married? Maybe when you are dating, it will be difficult for me to eat the food you cooked again. Ah, this question makes me feel a little disappointed."
Sun Rou held her chin and tilted her head slightly, looking at Tang Hong's big blinking eyes.
"If we don't live together one day, you probably won't be unfamiliar with it, right?"
Tang Hong finally frowned and asked back: "What's wrong with you? His words and deeds have been very strange recently."
Sun Rou dodged his gaze, turned her head and looked to the side and said to herself, "I was so stupid when I was a child, I actually hoped to grow up."
......
The local football atmosphere triggered by the Chinese team's top ten games is unprecedentedly fanatical!
Because after half of the eight games in the top ten games, the Chinese team ranked first in the list and led the same opponent Australia team 7 points and 3 points ahead of the Japanese team!
As long as you win two more games, the Chinese team will lock in the top two in the group!
This means the team will advance to the 2014 Brazil World Cup!
Tang Hong was picked up by fans at the Capital Airport for the first time when he returned home. He patiently signed autographs for some fans and took photos with them, and then got into the car and rushed to Xianghe National Football Training Base.
When he had just put down his luggage in his dormitory, a knock on the door sounded. He walked to open the door, and the man with a majestic figure caught his eyes and made him look slightly surprised.
"Captain, long time no see!"
The visitor hugged Tang Hong!
Tang Hong subconsciously hugged the other party, and after they separated, they punched each other's solid chest with their fists, and smiled and said, "Liu Tao, have you returned from Japan?"
Liu Tao, the former defensive leader of the National Youth Team, grinned and said, "Well, I'm back!"
"Can you play in the top Japanese league next year?"
"Well, the second division champion will be a new team next year."
"Where is Zhang Binyi?"
"I don't know, the team he represents has just started playing the upgrade playoffs this weekend, and you can go to the top league if you win two games in a row."
When I saw Liu Tao and Tang Hong, I was particularly happy. I had a long chat with Liu Tao in the room and listened to him telling about his life and career development in Japan. Tang Hong always had a charming smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
