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!"
"It seems that I just said it was too early for him to have a perfect debut today. This is called perfection!"
"A hat-trick on his debut! Is this really just something a player worth £6 million can do?"
"It feels like Pan Yi has found a treasure again! Professor Wenger is going to be sad!"
"However, the one who is more sad today will obviously be Van Gaal, the Manchester United fans, and everyone who cares about Manchester United."
"They're already seven goals down! That's tied for their biggest loss in history, but it doesn't look like it's over yet!"
"Because now Chelsea is still attacking like a wave and is still unstoppable!"
——
The game is nearing its end.
The score is still zero to seven.
Van Gaal has used up three substitutions, but to no avail.
His last substitution was even using defender Da Silva to replace Rooney, who played as an attacking midfielder today...
It can be seen how scared he is in his heart right now.
But the situation still hasn't changed.
Gnabry, Bamford, and Willian attacked Manchester United's defense again and again, consuming the physical strength and energy of Manchester United players and making Manchester United's entire defense exhausted.
The only good thing is that in the last few minutes, Chelsea's shooting accuracy dropped, and anti-aircraft guns were fired on several threatening attacks.
Therefore, the score has not been rewritten.
"As long as we don't break the record for the largest loss, it's a victory."
This is actually what many Manchester United fans think now.
When the time entered the 90th minute and the fourth official on the sideline also called three minutes of stoppage time, many Manchester United fans and even the Manchester United players on the field secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's nightmare is finally over!
They no longer have to be rubbed repeatedly by Chelsea on the pitch!
At the same time, there is no need to lose the ball anymore...
But at this moment, Chelsea got another opportunity to attack.
This was an attack from the left. Gnabry made a powerful move and passed Di Maria who was defending him.
It's just that his kick was a bit too big. Manchester United's right back Valencia was also very fast and came over to intercept it quickly.
Gnabry reached for it with his foot, but failed to control the ball. Instead, the ball hit the feet of Valencia, who had already extended his legs, and flew out of the baseline.
Corner kick.
On the time card, the stoppage time is about to enter the third minute.
This means that this will be Chelsea's last attack, and also the last attack of the entire game.
Gnabry takes the corner kick.
He had just arrived a few days ago, but he didn't have any tactics to speak of. He just kicked at the most crowded place in the penalty area.
But now that their morale is low and they just want to end the game early, how can the Manchester United players stop the Chelsea generals who are like wolves and tigers rushing up from the backcourt!
As a result, David Luiz grabbed the header and smashed it into the top corner of Manchester United's goal!
"The ball went in again!"
“It’s really coming in again!!!”
"In the 93rd minute, David Luiz used a corner kick opportunity to score Manchester United's goal again!"
"We witnessed history today! Chelsea beat Manchester United 8-0!"
"Manchester United has created the biggest goal-conceding record in history!"
"And this is only one goal away from the record for the largest score in Premier League history."
"This record was also set by Manchester United, but they were the victors at the time."
"That was on March 4, 1995, when they beat Ipswich Town 9-0."
"But now the game is over! With David Luiz's goal, the referee finally blew the final whistle! Therefore, Manchester United will finally not concede any more goals, and they will not break this which is even more shameful.
record!”
"This is simply unbelievable. Of course, the initiator of the biggest defeat in Manchester United's history must be Pan Yi."
"Although Manchester United was trailing by two goals in the first half, it was still within a reasonable range after all. But in the second half, Pan Yi made a direct substitution and replaced him with someone we thought was a nobody, but was actually a big killer - Gnab
inside!"
"Gnabry, this young former Arsenal player, is bound to become famous because of tonight's massacre and become a rising star in European football!"
"At the new aid conference, coach Pan Yi once jokingly said that this young man will be the future 'King of London'. Does that mean he will play an important role in Chelsea?"
"Of course, some of Pan Yi's adjustments after replacing Gnabry are equally important. Bamford and William also played an important role in this massacre."
"This 8:0 score also tied Chelsea's record for the largest win in Premier League history. They also defeated Wigan Athletic 8:0 in 2010."
"And Van Gaal's team was completely defeated tonight! This was also the most painful defeat in Van Gaal's coaching career."
——
In the last period of the game, Van Gaal was actually sitting in the coaching bench, motionless.
He knew that nothing he did would be of any use.
The only thing he could do was to wait quietly, waiting for the damn referee to blow the damn whistle!
Now, it's finally over.
Eight to zero.
Before the score was reached, Van Gaal would pray not to concede another goal;
But now he really looked at such a disparity in the score, and his heart somehow calmed down.
This is what the legend says, no sorrow is greater than death, right?
Perhaps, his time as a Red Devil is coming to an end...
——
The next day, all sports media in the world were dominated by Pan Yi and his Chelsea.
"8:0!" The title of "The Times" was very concise and powerful. The newspaper praised Pan Yi for leading Chelsea to create a great record, but also gave Manchester United a shameful record.
"How did Pan Yi do it without losing in 20 rounds of the Premier League?" "Daily Mail" reviewed how Chelsea improved step by step from the beginning when Pan Yi started coaching Chelsea to the first round to the 20th round of the league.
Until now.
The German newspaper "Bild" also praised Pan Yi. The newspaper focused its report on Gnabry, the new German star who shined in this game.
They believe that even though Pan Yi has left German football, he still discovered a German genius.
To be able to score a hat trick and two assists in half time in such a heavyweight contest, the German national team coach Loew should take action as soon as possible.
The "Guardian", founded in Manchester, used more space to criticize every Manchester United player, believing that everyone is a war criminal and that everyone is not worthy of wearing the Manchester United jersey!
Every player who played was rated 0 points, and Lingard, who was substituted and then substituted in the second half, received a negative rating.
As for Van Gaal?
"Go back to Holland, you loser!"
The British independent television station also released a video, which was an interview with a young fan of about ten years old next to a stadium.
The reporter asked: "Which team is your favorite?" The young fan replied: "Manchester United."
The reporter followed the young fan's answer and asked: "Which player in the Manchester United team do you like best?"
The young fan's answer was ridiculous: "None. They are all rubbish!"
This video at least shows that the result of this game has deeply hurt many fans, including young fans like this.
The Sun broke the news that there was a disharmonious scene in the Manchester United dressing room after the game, and Van Gaal was suspected of having a quarrel with Lingard.
"According to well-informed sources who wish to remain anonymous, after this game, Lingard became more determined to leave Manchester United. He hopes that Manchester United can accept Chelsea's offer."
"He thinks Van Gaal will not use him properly, and at Chelsea, Pan Yi is obviously the one who is better able to correct young players."
"In addition, he also feels that Manchester United is far inferior to Chelsea. Lingard has also made up his mind that he really doesn't want to play even one more game for Manchester United."
This report immediately attracted the attention of Manchester United fans.
What?
Is this the youth training player we have been caring for and have high hopes for?
His performance in the last game was so rubbish, but he didn't reflect on it at all. Instead, he started to dislike Manchester United?
Yes, Chelsea is indeed better than Manchester United now, but this is not something you, a Manchester United player, can say, let alone one who is a member of their own youth training team.
How abominable!
Manchester United fans are angry.
In addition, there have been rumors that Chelsea is seeking Lingard. Of course, everyone thinks that Lingard will say such a thing.
"Get out of here, get out of here! Get out of Manchester United and don't come back!"
"Sell it quickly! It's still worth a lot of money now! Otherwise, in a few days, no one will want it even if it's free!"
"Disgusting! I just feel disgusting! I don't even look at how bad I am playing on the court!"
This is still on forums and social media.
Some radical fans have even harassed Lingard's residence.
They held up banners saying "Lingard goes away" and shouted slogans in protest outside Lingard's apartment.
Of course Lingard denies all this.
How could he dare to quarrel with a coach like Van Gaal when he is a transparent little man like Manchester United who talks very softly?
There was some quarrel, but it was Van Gaal's unilateral reprimand to him.
Moreover, Lingard also loves Manchester United deeply in his heart. If he could have a stable chance to play at Manchester United, why would he seek a transfer? He would not say bad things about Manchester United.
But who can listen now?
Public opinion is like this, fans are like this, sometimes it is easy to be led by others.
As for all this, Manchester United's top management is actually very confused.
Because for a player who is in the process of transfer negotiations, negative news is quite devastating.
His performance on the court was mediocre, but with the so-called quarrel and other news, his net worth has plummeted.
CEO Sandoko also went to the team to inquire about the situation, and the feedback he received was that Lingard did not have any relevant behavior.
The players also denied that they were the "unnamed source".
Therefore, Manchester United quickly issued an official refutation of the rumor, saying that "The Sun" is a newspaper with no authority and no bottom line, and the content of its report is completely baseless.
But the fans didn't buy it at all.
"The rumor has been officially refuted! It means it's true!"
This is what most fans think.
Then, Chelsea issued the latest offer to Manchester United.
“Two million pounds??”
Santoku's eyes almost popped out when he saw the fax.
In the fax, Chelsea also mentioned that it was because of the traditional friendship between the two clubs that they chose to continue buying Lingard and made a quite interesting offer.
Otherwise, Lingard will probably die in the hands of Manchester United.
Two million...
It was a quote that had Manchester United jumping up and down in anger.
After all, Chelsea's offer just a few days ago was still 6 million, but Manchester United was too low and counter-offered 12 million, and then the two sides froze.
However, after the game between Chelsea and Manchester United, Lingard's market seemed to have shrunk a lot, and Derby County, who had originally been interested in loaning him out, also withdrew from negotiations.
With the current situation, Lingard cannot be sold for a price, and he has no place in Manchester United. Apart from being exiled to the second team, there is really no other option.
"This is taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of the situation!"
Sandoko said angrily: "We train a young player from the age of 8 to the Manchester United first team. Is it only worth two million?"
"But..." the assistant on the side said cautiously, "If we delay it any longer, we may not even get the two million..."
Everyone understands that, regardless of whether those reports are rumors or not, the matter has already escalated and has had a bad impact on the Manchester United club and Lingard himself.
The most direct manifestation of this bad influence is: depreciation!
Coupled with the fact that Lingard's performance was indeed poor, the depreciation was further aggravated.
"Are we a club short of two million pounds???" Sandoko raised the table angrily, then pointed at his assistant and said:
"Go, you go tell Chelsea right away, two million is absolutely not acceptable!"
"Unless...unless it is increased to...three million!"
