spn Two days later, Manchester United faced the challenge of Hull City at home.
At the same time, this is also the earliest game in this round of league.
Li Yu appeared in Manchester United's starting lineup as expected, and his partner was replaced by Owen. The two rarely started at the same time in the game. The media had always been suspicious before the game whether there was a tacit understanding between them!
Manchester United have won all of their last six games against Hull City. The last time they lost was in the Second Division in 1974. Hull City have never beaten Manchester United away from home in the league. The only time they won as a guest at Old Trafford was in the third round of the FA Cup in 1952.
There have been 23 historical encounters between the two sides, with Manchester United having the upper hand with 15 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. Ferdinand returned from injury and served as captain, while Nani, Scholes, Park Ji-sung and Owen rotated into the starting lineup.
After the opening, Li Yu took on the task of connecting the team in the frontcourt, and Manchester United's offensive became higher and higher.[
Hull City could only parry but could not fight back. After Manchester United lost the last game, they showed a strong desire to win in front of the home fans.
Especially Li Yu, you can see him everywhere on the offensive end. He actively runs and distributes the ball appropriately. It can be seen that Li Yu is in very good condition today.
Manchester United took the lead in the 8th minute. Park Ji-sung passed the ball and Scholes' 30-yard shot was barely saved by Myhill. Li Yu saw the right opportunity and grabbed the chance to make up the shot in front of the Hull City defender in a few steps.
He fell to the ground at 8 yards and swept the ball, sending the ball into the net without any suspense.
1:0, Manchester United quickly took the lead. The scorer was none other than Li Yu, the offensive leader who had performed best since the start.
The Manchester United fans at home finally ushered in the explosive moment. They cheered heartlessly, as if they had forgotten the recent external disturbances about Manchester United's financial problems.
But soon, the fans let everyone know that they had not forgotten, but had other plans.
When the game reached the 25th minute, the fans in the North Stand collectively turned their backs to the court and were still shouting slogans: "Glazer, go back to the United States!"
The sudden change shocked people who didn't know the inside story, and the fans collectively protested. This is really rare in the history of the Premier League.
Li Yu can also understand the mood of the fans, but he still feels that doing something like this at this time will somewhat affect the performance of Manchester United players on the field. Just look at Ferguson's expression and you will know that even the man who just made a bold statement
The old man can’t afford to offend the fans!
I really don’t know whether the fans’ protests helped or disrupted a situation that was originally beneficial to Manchester United.
Until the end of the first half, the score on the field was still 1:0. In the nearly 40 minutes of the game, Manchester United did not score a goal, especially Owen who wasted many good opportunities from Li Yu. The former England gold medal
Tong's life at Manchester United is bound to become more and more difficult, and it is not certain whether he will continue to get opportunities to play!
At the beginning of the second half, those fans were still shouting their slogans with their backs to the field. Although during the halftime break, Manchester United club staff had contacted the leading fans, the effect was obvious and they did not offend you at all.
, still protesting.
Ferguson actually said something like Nye, "It's so stupid that you won't see the goal soon!"
The old man just wants to use goals to make the fans turn around again.
But the reality on the field is not like that. Although Li Yu worked hard on the field, facing the slashing tactics of many people in Hull City, he did not get many shooting opportunities. On the contrary, Owen had some opportunities, but Jin
Tong seemed to have been oxidized and never converted good opportunities into goals.
In the 77th minute, Ferguson replaced Owen with Rooney. The former golden boy left the field with a sad face. It was really sad. Time is like a butcher's knife, but for professional football players, the most deadly thing is
It's the pig feed that hurts and hurts.
After Rooney came on the field, he took the initiative to retreat and put Li Yu on the front line. This arrangement significantly improved Manchester United's team in terms of frequency and threat.
As the cheers from other fans grew louder and louder, many fans with their backs turned could not help but glance back. Even though these fans seemed to be very determined, in fact
Most of them are already itching.
If the goal had come early, they would have probably turned around. Hull City's goal on the field was always in a precarious situation and could be penetrated again at any time. But even if it didn't go in, Li Yu was getting a little anxious.
, The most outstanding performance of the entire Hull City team today is goalkeeper Myhill, whose high pass and resistance can be called world-class! [
In the 82nd minute, Nani shot from outside. Myhill made a save and the ball hit the crossbar. Rooney hooked the ball back in front of the baseline. Andy Dawson was injured and fell to the penalty area. Gibson stopped the ball on his chest outside the penalty area and passed straight to the penalty area.
Li Yu met the ball 12 yards from the right side of the penalty area and hit it with a powerful kick. The ball hit the ball directly into the net.
After Li Yu scored the goal, he couldn't believe it. His previous shots from better positions failed to score, but now he scored despite not having a good chance!
No matter what, this goalkeeper is also a genius. He can save the difficult ones with confidence, but he can't defend the relatively simple ones.
2:0, Manchester United led by two goals at Old Trafford, with only one goal scorer, Li Yu!
After the goal was scored, the fans at the scene first applauded, and then it was time to celebrate. Those fans who had their backs to the stadium now have their backs to the fans, but
The head has been turned around.
In the 86th minute, Manchester United started a rapid advance from the right. Nani dribbled the ball along the right at high speed and made a pass from a 45° angle in the penalty area. Li Yu, who was defending, headed the ball from the edge of the small penalty area. Hull City's
The defenders were completely ineffective. Such a header was completely unsolvable. The Hull City goalkeeper made a diving action, but the ball did not touch it at all. Li Yu scored a hat-trick with a header.
After scoring the goal, Li Yu ran to the north stand and yelled: "Aren't you tired of watching the ball like this?"
At this moment, everyone in the audience heard Li Yu's roar, and many fans smiled knowingly. On the contrary, the fans in the North Stand were a little embarrassed, and they didn't know what to do. Should they turn around or continue like this?
Turning your head to watch the game? Anyway, your neck is a bit sore, and some people simply turned around, not forgetting to shout slogans: "Glazer, get back to the media, get out of Manchester United!"
Ferguson seems to be in a better mood. The fans' matter has been resolved, but the media will definitely make a fuss about it. Speaking of the media, in fact, Ferguson doesn't hate the Glazer family in his heart!
The media has been saying that Ferguson is an accomplice, "Go to hell!" Ferguson wanted to use this sentence to respond to the media's questions, but the reality is that in his current position, the stability of the club team is the first priority.
Yes, he couldn't say that, and he couldn't do anything.
After some inner discussion, Ferguson looked up at the score on the big screen. 3:0, it was finally a victory. Moreover, the game process was not bad, and the player consumption was within an acceptable range.
Li Yu's performance after a break is gratifying, and he has scored three goals!
Then, Rooney, who had just come on, added the icing on the cake in stoppage time, receiving a pass from Li Yu after a breakthrough, and she scored. 4:0, Manchester United ushered in a big victory and took the lead in the standings with two more games.
Second place Chelsea has 5 points.
The day before Manchester United's home game against Hull City, Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that he might give Rooney a break in this weekend's league game. "It is difficult to give Rooney a break, but maybe there is such a time, maybe tomorrow." But take it.
Arrive on stage
After the list, Rooney's name was clearly on the list. It was almost the same as the previous round. Rooney entered the squad, but sat on the bench. The hanging hearts of the Manchester United fans were immediately relieved.
Come on, Li Yu and Rooney are the double insurance.
No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson is so cruel. Apart from Rooney and Li Yu, Manchester United can no longer find a second stable scorer. Even if Sir Alex Ferguson feels sorry for the two of them, he still has to bite the bullet and let these two boys play.
And seeing Li Yu's goal-scoring performance in the game, I believe Sir Alex Ferguson will be happy for his final wise decision.
The 73,933 fans at the scene witnessed Li Yu's emperor-level performance, which was a worthwhile trip. After the game, "Sky Sports" gave Li Yu a rare perfect score of 10 points. Yes, the last person to receive this treatment was
When Chelsea beat Sunderland 7-2, Anelka performed a 2-she-1 pass. He was also the Premier League Silver Boot winner last season.
Before the game, Manchester United legendary striker Andy Cole praised Li Yu, "I think Li Yu has been fantastic so far this season. At the beginning of the season, after Luo left the team, he knew that he had to speed up. I think
He's got a great personality and talent. He's playing like he's saying to everyone, 'I want to be that guy, I want to move United forward and try and win more trophies.' If he can keep that up
With the current energy, I believe he can do it.
If you ask Li Yu, he might tell you that he is not a penalty area fox. He is not the kind of player who can only play in the area between the 6-yard line and the 18-yard line. He wants to be everywhere on the field, left winger
, right winger, and often participates in defense in recent games." How important Li Yu is to the current Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson's words will not lie, the old man even thinks that once Li Yu is attacked
If injured, Manchester United's journey this season will be over. Among the European giants, no one is so dependent on one player this season. Even Messi, the World Footballer, Barcelona relies on him.
It is also far less than Manchester United's dependence on Li Yu. Messi can make the powerful Barcelona better, but Li Yu is the only one who can carry the entire Manchester United team forward.
After the game, Li Yu hugged the ball tightly, like a child who got a favorite toy. This is not the first time Li Yu got a game ball this season. In the 14th round of the league, Manchester United defeated Portsmouth 4-1 away from home.
, Li Yu performed a hat trick in 29 minutes and also received the game ball.
Manchester United currently has debts of 71.6 billion pounds. After selling Ronaldo last summer, the media speculated that the next person to be sold by Manchester United would be Li Yu.
"The Sun" reported yesterday that Li Yu has become an important summer acquisition target for Real Madrid's "Chairman" Florentino. Real Madrid has asked super agent Zahavi to help them deal with Li Yu. Zahavi is a well-known player in football.
One of the top intermediaries, he is not only Ferdinand's agent but also successfully managed Abramovich's move to Chelsea.[
Interestingly, Chelsea had been working hard to introduce Li Yu during the winter transfer.
A Real Madrid insider said, "Zahavi has been told to do whatever it takes to bring Li Yu to the Bernabeu and the club believes an agreement will be reached."
But an objective analysis shows that the Glazer family has not yet had the courage to sell Li Yu.
Li Yu is different from Ronaldo. Even though he will never have Ronaldo's talent, he is the most popular star in China and has great overseas box office appeal. Glazer is unlikely to sell this "fans" all over the world.
darling.
What's more, before today's game started, outside the Old Trafford Stadium, a large number of Manchester United fans held up large banners such as "Glazer will always live in your debt" and "Debt" to protest against Manchester United.
boss.
During the game, they were even more creative to express their anger by turning around and ignoring the game. These fans all wore a special badge on their chests that said "Love Manchester United, Hate Glazer". There is no doubt that the American boss has already
I feel the pressure from die-hard Manchester United fans.
After today's game against Hull City, Manchester United has temporarily won the first place in the league, five points ahead of Chelsea, who have two games less. The points of the two games, what surprises happened during Chelsea's two more games, Manchester United is still first.
The famous position, in any case, taking the lead at this time, is a great way to build up the morale of Manchester United and prepare for a new round of spraying.
It has an indescribable promotion effect. However, the second leg of the League Cup against Manchester City four days later is the game that Ferguson wants to win most in the past week. For this reason, he will play against Hull City, Ryan Giggs, Valencia and Cali today.
Ke did not play, and the wings and the core of the midfield were resting, which shows that Ferguson attaches more importance to the League Cup.
Although more than half of January has passed, the real test of Manchester United in this month has not yet come. The League Cup match against Manchester City on the 27th and the League match against Arsenal on the 31st are the most important events. Of course, they must win.
It’s tasteless, but imagine that in February
Being able to win this "tasteless cup" will greatly improve the morale of the club. What's more, judging from the strong football cultural atmosphere brought about by the century-old development of British football, Chinese fans generally think that "tasteless", British
Fans will not think so.
In fact, this League Cup will not cost Manchester United too much energy. After passing Manchester City, there is only one final, and they will survive two games. If we want to say how much it will affect the league and the Champions League, it can only be said to be "very little".
For example.
At the beginning of this month, Manchester United lost to Leeds in the FA Cup. Of course, it was disappointing, but at least it had many benefits in terms of less energy consumption. The FA Cup today is just a 32-to-16 event. The further you go, the easier it will be.
There will be a scene where the Champions League, the League and the FA Cup are three consecutive matches, and you will definitely not be able to afford to lose a game. Of course, if you have the ability, it will be the most ruthless, so it is said that the winner of multiple championships is the most arrogant.
But there is a missing link, which is of great benefit to a club like Manchester United that is very good at adjusting. The players can play at their best in a compact schedule that also has room for breathing and rest. And Manchester United's biggest competition is
Opponents Chelsea and Arsenal will probably be difficult.
Ancelotti said after the FA Cup on Saturday: "From now on, we only have game time, but no chance to train and run in." This is the lineup that will be played against Preston.
If you encounter a super team in the cup, you will probably have to compete with the main lineup of the league.
Obviously, the FA Cup was eliminated too early, and the League Cup was limited to only two games at most, so the impact on the league and the Champions League was minimized. Once the League Cup is played, the stimulating effect will be huge. Ferguson may have also seen this.
After briefly ascending to the top position today, he said: "This is very important. Obviously this means that we have reached the top spot this season.
Even though Chelsea and Arsenal have fewer games in hand, you have to win the games in front of you and we are in the right position." We are indeed in the right position and we can't just play two more games and not mind it.
Today's winning value, if even Hull City can't beat it, wouldn't the gap be even bigger? While Chelsea is busy playing in the FA Cup, Manchester United has taken advantage of the league's advantage, at least in terms of morale, it has not fallen behind at all.
In a recent interview with British News Agency, Ferguson had his own understanding of the league's championship points. He believed that he could win the championship by scoring 82 points. This score was exactly the same as Wenger's test in early January, and it was a very low score to win the championship.
points. The reason why the coaches think so is because they all recognize the intense pace of this season.
Therefore, there will definitely be mutual wins and losses among several strong teams. In this way, everyone's score increase will be hindered, and the final total score will be low. Ferguson said this: "It may be the lowest in recent seasons."
The score, as low as about 82 points, may have changed, but I can’t see clearly because the league is really difficult to play.”
After Arsenal suffered a huge defeat to Chelsea at the end of November, they were considered to have withdrawn from the championship competition for the second time this season. However, the subsequent games went extremely smoothly and they have now gone head-to-head with Manchester United. Naturally, their clash at the end of the month will be
To be noticed. Ferguson said: "They have proven that as long as their team can win, they can win continuously until they return to the top position. They feel that they have a good chance now and will be very strong against them, and they will be strong a week later."
Playing against Chelsea again, this arrangement will be very interesting."
Without the trouble of the FA Cup, it is easy to face Chelsea and Arsenal. The championship fire in Ferguson's heart is burning. The road ahead is of course rugged. Manchester United still has 15 league rounds. Currently, it has scored 50 points. If you want to get
To get 82 points, you need to achieve 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses or
With a record of 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, there is still room here, but don’t forget that 82 points is a minimum score. Manchester United can do it, why can’t Chelsea and Arsenal? The competition between the three teams and the strong interference from other teams are all
It is the most important factor that affects the fluctuation of the winning score.
There is also the Champions League. The advantages of missing the FA Cup have already been mentioned. Another thing to say is that even without Ronaldo and Tevez, Manchester United's average goals per game in the league this season is as high as 230, which is higher than Inter Milan.
(215), Bayern (205), Milan (184) and Juventus (16), there is no lack of offensive power. Maybe Li Yu is a little stronger personally, but don’t forget Luo’s personal role in the 07-08 championship season
It's so big. There's nothing wrong with having a super goal-scoring person in the team. Without the expectation of the Triple Crown, Manchester United can fly down the league and the Champions League in an orderly manner, and the following causes
All kinds of huge suspense really make all fans feel addicted and unable to stop.
