In the fifth round of the spn Premier League, the flames of war are gradually extinguishing, and the European war is about to begin.
In the first round of Group B where Manchester United is located, Manchester United, as the seed team, will challenge Besiktas away from home!
When Li Yu drove his Chevrolet sports car to the Carrington training base, he found that the gate to the training base was blocked and was guarded by many reporters.
He honked the horn a few times. When the reporters saw Li Yu coming, they all crowded around him. Some even put the microphone into the car and asked questions mostly about Li Yu's outlook for the Champions League this season. Li Yu was a little tired of this.
The media is like a fly. Today it bites you and asks you to express your opinion. Tomorrow it will be the Champions League. If you are still confident that the Champions League golden boot will come back, you don’t know what will happen.
He didn't show any good looks to the reporters and answered a few questions in a formulaic manner. After the security cleared a road, Li Yu started the car and drove into the training base.[
In the dressing room, Li Yu saw Rooney with a bitter look on his face. The little fat man didn't know what happened. He seemed to have some skin allergies. He couldn't participate in training today. He would go to the hospital for a checkup with the team doctor later. Li Yu joked.
, maybe he was allergic to alcohol due to drinking, the little fat man quickly covered Li Yu's mouth, feeling that he had just been reprimanded by Ferguson.
Ferguson had previously decided that Rooney would not appear in the game against Besiktas, so he was not too worried about the little fat man's absence. After a while, he turned on the phone from the hospital. It was just a minor skin allergy, not a big problem.
Ferguson just waved his hand and told the little fat guy that he didn't need to go back to the base to train. He could just stay at home and rest.
The Manchester United team started a public training session. The door opened, and the media who had been surrounding the door just now poured in. Machines were set up outside the training ground to take pictures. Then a sharp-eyed reporter discovered a problem-Manchester United had already started.
Training, then why didn’t we see little fat Rooney?
Someone told the people around him about this discovery, so the reporter group quickly started talking about this topic. Ferguson has always been rigorous in running the army. At this time, Rooney should not be late. Otherwise, it would have lasted at least an hour. Rooney did that.
Aren't you looking for death?
Then they saw the calm look on Ferguson's face, as if it was normal for Rooney to not show up at the training ground. At this time, the reporters thought of the photo of Rooney being photographed drinking and drunkenly in a Manchester bar a few days ago, and they couldn't help but stir up a commotion. Could it be that
Did Ferguson use the 'big stick' on Rooney?
Thinking of this possibility, the reporters were as excited as if they had eaten something. They were busy taking pictures and talking on their mobile phones, using their personal connections to try to figure out what happened in the Manchester United dressing room this morning? Champions League
Before the start of the group stage, such destructive news did not put any psychological burden on the media. This is not the first time that the British media has done this.
At this moment, Manchester United assistant coach Queiroz came over to inform the media that their shooting time was over.
The media just packed up their equipment and retreated like birds and animals, and were busy asking about this matter. The poor little fat guy never thought that he missed the training class just because of a slight skin allergy, and the media made rumors that he was being punished by Ferguson.
- However, this does not seem to be a rumor. It is indeed true that Rooney was reprimanded by Ferguson.
After the reporters left, the training ground became much quieter. Except for the players' shouts and the coaches' whistles, there was no other sound.
Li Rui is very serious in training. Rooney will not be able to play in the next game against Besiktas, so Manchester United's offensive burden will be concentrated on him alone. Manchester United is likely to use a single forward formation in the away game.
September 15, Inonu Stadium, Istanbul, Türkiye.
The whistle for the start of the game had just blown. After a series of beautiful dribblings in the frontcourt, Li Yu faced Ibrahim's overmatch. He arched his foot and the football came to Nani's feet. Nani took a step forward.
Then, he suddenly took off and hoisted the football into the penalty area, and a clever one-two match at the front of the penalty area.
Maybe it was because the game had just started and Besiktas' players had not yet fully entered the game state. Their defenders looked back to see where the football had landed, only to see that Li Yu had already rushed out of the back line and headed towards the air.
The football rushed over!!
"Oops--" Besiktas goalkeeper Hakan Alikan was shocked. He had no time to call the defender to return to defense. He could only attack in a hurry, hoping to win the football before Li Yu got it.
.
When Besiktas defenders saw Li Yu appearing behind them, their first reaction was not to chase back, but to raise their hands to signal to the linesman that Li Yu was offside.
However, their actions were ignored by the linesman, who could see clearly that after Nani passed the ball, Li Yu ran away and could not reach the offside position. Perhaps Li Yu was too fast and let Besikta
Sri Lanka's defenders had a misunderstanding. What were they thinking? If someone rushes out from your side in a one-two, will he be offside?
Li Yu glanced and saw that Besiktas goalkeeper Hakan had already attacked. With the goalkeeper's height and long arms, it would be impossible for him to shoot again if he had to wait for the ball to fall. His only option was to get ahead of Hakan.
Complete the attack.
Li Yu thought of this and quickly put it into action. He speeded up again, and then relied on inertia to push off the ground with his left foot. He jumped up, his head collided with the football, and he chose to header the ball!
The football almost collided with Li Yu's head, and then jumped up and flew towards the goal. Less than a second later, Besiktas goalkeeper Hakan's hand also arrived, and he almost hugged Li Yu's head directly, and then
The two landed at the same time. At this time, there was a whistle and cheers from Manchester United players——[
The football hit the bottom edge of the crossbar, then rushed to the ground, and then entered the goal.
The ball went in?!
Hearing the cheers and whistles, Li Yu got up from the "pressure" of Besiktas goalkeeper Hakan and started running on the turf of Inonu Stadium. He even did several somersaults in excitement, which ignited
In response to the enthusiasm of the visiting Manchester United fans, they shouted wildly, and the home fans at Inonu Stadium responded with huge boos.
In the first minute of the game, Nani assisted Li Yu to score, and Manchester United led Besiktas 1:0 away from home!
This was also the only goal in the game. Although Li Yu worked hard in the next game, he was unlucky. One of his shots had already passed the goalkeeper's hands, but was rejected by the crossbar.
Only one goal was scored. This was Li Yu's performance in the away game, and it was also Manchester United's answer to the Champions League for the first time this season. It didn't seem too ideal. After the first round of the group stage, the top player in Group B turned out to be
Wolfsburg defeated CSKA 3:1 at home.
Although Li Yu's beautiful header was also selected as the best goal of the Champions League on this match day after the game, one is one, and Manchester United still has to rank third in the group with a goal difference disadvantage.
Second place, the other two teams in the same group both lost in this round and were at the bottom with zero points.
The Champions League scorer list is also occupied by players from Group B. Wolfsburg player Grafite scored 3 goals in the first round and now leads the Champions League scorer list.
However, when Li Yu was interviewed by the media, he expressed his confidence in winning the Champions League Golden Boot again. This was also criticized by the media in Liverpool and London as arrogant. However, what they said, Li Yu was used to it, so
I don’t care anymore!
Now Li Yu has become accustomed to the British media's way of saying what she wants to say. The rest, you can say whatever you like!
After the game against Besiktas, the Manchester United team returned to the hotel to take a rest, and then boarded the flight from Istanbul to London. They had to rush back to Manchester non-stop, because the next round of the game is the Manchester Derby in the new season.
The first derby battle is another brand-new collision between the defending champion Manchester United and the financial sponsor Manchester City. Sky TV will also broadcast the game to the world.
As Manchester City spends huge transfer fees to buy strong reinforcements again and again, the Manchester derby, which was once a tasteless game, has gradually turned into a real derby battle.
The game that day also proved that the Manchester Derby will become the most popular derby in world football.
The focus of the sixth round was the match. Manchester United, sitting at home at Old Trafford, relied on Owen's stoppage time buzzer beater to defeat Manchester City 4-3 and win their fifth consecutive game.
Manchester City, which fell behind three times and equalized three times but still lost in the end, suffered its 200th defeat in the Premier League.
This game is the 152nd Manchester Derby, and it is also a dialogue between two teams ranked among the top three teams with 12 points. In the past two seasons, both sides have each completed a double defeat against their rivals in the same city, but in the latest battle
Ronaldo and Tevez, the two contributors to Manchester United's victory, have both left the team this summer. The Argentinian beast has directly defected to Manchester City and started this campaign against his old club. Santa Cruz is injured and has been punished and suspended.
Adebayor also put out the exemption card, but Richards and Ireland recovered from their injuries and started together. For Manchester United, Scholes was also sent to the referee, but Ferdinand returned to the starting lineup after recovering from injury, and Rooney and Li Yu
Strike partner.
At the beginning of the first half, Manchester United got off to a dream start. At 1 minute and 53 seconds, Evra received a throw-in from the left side of the frontcourt and passed it near the baseline. Li Yu faced three Manchester City defenders including De Jong and poked him free.
A right-footed shot from 6 yards behind the space broke the deadlock. This was Li Yu's ninth goal in five club games this season.
1:0. Manchester United took the lead.
It was Manchester City's turn to attack. Tevez was booed in the Dream Theater stands as soon as he got the ball in the frontcourt. Although Manchester City was not at a disadvantage in possession of the ball after that, the offensive effect was really average.
"Hell! You must complain to the FA after the game." The assistant coach of Manchester City blamed the pressure from Manchester United's home fans for Manchester City's offensive disadvantage after the start. Amidst such boos, it is estimated that no player will
If you can exert 100% of your strength, it is already good to be able to exert 30% of your usual strength.
But Hughes didn't say anything after hearing this. When it comes to putting pressure on other departments, who can do it better than Ferguson, the big boss in the Premier League!
It is better to do less than to do more. He believes that Manchester City will not let him down! [
Sure enough, in the 16th minute, Manchester City seized the opportunity. Rather than seizing the opportunity, it was better to say that it was a gift from the Manchester United goalkeeper. Toure's own half went straight, and Ferdinand slowed down to hand the ball over to the goalkeeper.
, foster rush
When he left the penalty area, he made a mistake and was intercepted by Carlos Tevez. Although he turned back to attack the ball, he failed. Tevez took the ball and passed it back to the center. Barry hit an empty goal with his left foot from 18 yards to tie the score. This was the first time Barry joined Manchester City.
The first goal scored later.
After Foster made the mistake, he became very emotional and yelled loudly at Ferdinand. Ferdinand was not to be outdone. The two faced off in a tense confrontation, forehead to forehead. If they were not both Manchester United players, they might have already made a move.
Giggs and Evra finally managed to pull the two angry bulls away.
But the referee doesn't care whether you are players of the same team or not. One person gets a yellow card, and the two of them become honest.
As Ferguson watched from the sidelines, he could no longer restrain his anger and immediately shouted: "You two idiots, believe it or not, I will destroy you two!"
The fourth official listened to the old man's shouts but didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him. God knows if the old man would not kill his own players. It is definitely possible to kill the referees!
This time he was definitely honest, Ferdinand even muttered a few words, and Foster didn't even dare to raise his head.
This is really the first time that Li Yu has seen something like this happen to Manchester United players on the field. This may be a derby match. Everyone seems to have different emotions accumulating. He doesn't know when they will explode. He just hopes that he
When it breaks out, it is during the scoring process or during the celebration after scoring, rather than complaining to teammates like this.
In this game, Manchester City completely adopted destructive tactics, and their purpose was very clear, which was to prove their strong rise in front of their opponents and have the strength to compete head-on with Manchester United in the derby.
Barry and De Jong are mainly responsible for defensive work, especially De Jong, the Dutch giant, who is completely a butcher. If Gattuso is a butcher, then De Jong is the top butcher.
Broken legs are not a legend, this guy has done it before.
De Jong's main task in the game is to guard Li Yu, and his movements are relatively fierce. Of course, the additional movements after the fierceness are relatively restrained. Li Yu can't control so much. Don't you want to intercept? As long as you have the ability, you can do whatever you want.
Block, stand aside if you don't have the ability, and have confidence in your own skills. Now Li Yu is not very afraid of the opponent's fierce pressing.
Li Yu was shoveled to the ground again. He got up and asked the referee of the game angrily. The referee only verbally warned De Jong for the foul. He saw that Li Yu continued to speak rudely and faced Li Yu with a black face.
, "Manchester United No. 9, please pay attention to the words you use, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Yu waved his hands and walked away. He was now full of anger. His red Manchester United jersey was already stained by grass and mud.
Who would have thought that when De Jong found that the interception was not working, he should have used chopping tactics and fouls to block Li Yu's attack. Li Yu's hiding was pretty good and he did not suffer any real damage. It made sense for the referee to ignore it.
Yes, but Li Yu could not avoid it in time every time, so he still made many angry protests.
The two sides fell into a state of anxiety. As the minutes passed in the first half, the scores of the two teams in the derby match did not change at all. On the contrary, the battle between the fans of the two teams was escalating. They shouted insults at their opponents.
The players on the team raised their middle fingers, and the atmosphere in the entire stadium was extremely heated.
At this moment, the goal appeared!
As soon as Li Yu got the ball and turned around, he saw De Jong, who was marking him, approaching him. However, Li Yu did not panic. He moved his feet flexibly, and then jumped his body, just in time to get past De Jong with the ball.
Rong's interception.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yu moved her left hand to block De Rong behind him, and then accelerated and rushed over.
Breakthrough!
Li Yu, who had passed someone, took a step forward and looked up at Manchester City's goal. Instead of continuing to break through, he suddenly took a shot from outside the penalty area.
Long shot!
The football went high over the defenders' heads and then suddenly dropped as an elevator ball!
This was already Li Yu's second elevator shot in a sports match. Amidst the astonishment of all the fans at the scene, fortunately Manchester City goalkeeper Ji Wen was focused enough. When he retreated, he jumped back and stretched out his hand to lift the football.
hit the crossbar. When he rolled over and fell to the ground, the Old Trafford stadium burst into huge applause. Fans on both sides dedicated their lives to Li Yu and the Manchester City goalkeeper.
Sky TV commentators lamented that the ball did not go forward: "What a pity! What a pity! Manchester City goalkeeper Ji Wen's performance was perfect. Li Yu shot the ball really well, and the angle was very tricky. He was able to save it."
, it’s really not easy! Manchester United is only a little bit away from scoring a goal.”
Seeing that the ball was saved, Li Yu scratched his head in annoyance. It was really depressing that such a ball was saved.
Corner kick for Manchester United.
This was a tactical corner kick. The Manchester United player took a leisurely step near the baseline. Giggs suddenly pushed the football hard with his foot, and the football rolled into the penalty area from the feet of many people.
He passed it to Anderson. Just as the latter was about to stop the ball, he felt Bridge coming up next to him. Anderson's heart moved and he chose to miss the ball! He used his legs to shoot, tricking Bridge into falling to the ground to block it.
But he cleverly missed the ball...
The football rolled between his legs without touching anyone!
Li Yu, who followed up in the middle, rushed up like a tiger out of the cage, met the ball and shot directly!
This shot was extremely powerful and flew toward the upper corner of the goal with rapid rotation. Given had tried his best to save it, but he still couldn't stop the goal. The football flew over him and hit the crossbar straight away.
Along the way, straight down again. Within the goal line!
