Coming to the Premier League, 5-0 away from home, no one thought that the Red Devils, who were eliminated from the Europa League in midweek, would give fans such a hearty goal feast just three days later.
.
During the game, we could not see the impact of a double match on the physical fitness of Manchester United's soldiers, nor did we feel the frustration caused by three consecutive defeats in the European war. All Ancelotti's disciples showed was the spirit of unity of the whole team.
His appearance, and his firm belief that he will win the 21st crown.
Before this game, Manchester United led the league with 67 points after 28 rounds. In the history of the Premier League, only in the 2007 season did Manchester United score more points in the same period than now. In that season, Manchester United scored 69 points in the first 28 rounds.
In the end, there was no doubt that he won the championship two rounds ahead of schedule.
Now, with one more game in hand, Manchester United's lead in the standings has expanded to 4 points, and the goal difference disadvantage that was once so huge is now only 3.5-0. This is a
A nearly perfect away score. You must know that it is the biggest in the history of the Premier League
The away victory was only 8-1, and this record was set by Manchester United in the game against Nottingham Forest in February 1999. As we all know, in that season Manchester United completed the Champions League, League Championship and FA Cup.
Triple Crown achievement.
It is worth mentioning that Manchester United has scored 73 goals after 29 rounds, which is the best data in the English top league since the 6364 season. In the season 48 years ago, Tonaham scored 73 goals in the first 29 rounds.
In the history of Manchester United, the fact that they were able to score so many league goals in the same period can be traced back to the reign of Sir Busby in the 5758 season 54 years ago. In that season, they scored 75 goals in 29 rounds.
Scored 74 goals.
Gary Neville revealed that Manchester United's soldiers are no longer satisfied with just winning the game. "Goal difference" and "no play-offs" have become new topics in the Manchester United locker room. For such a proud result, Rooney said in the game
Later, he said with some excitement: "We played great. We scored important points at the critical stage of the season. This is the best game we have played in the league throughout the season. After experiencing
After the disappointment in midweek, this is a very strong result."
When God closes a door, he will open a window for you.
The successive eliminations in other competitions now seem more like removing obstacles to Manchester United's epic 20th crown.
Ancelotti said in an interview with Manchester United TV: "The players have come out of the shadow of failure. They recovered very quickly and have firm belief because they know that the opportunity to win the league title is coming."
Indeed, in the past 9 league games, Manchester United has achieved a terrifying record of 8 wins and 1 draw, including defeating Liverpool, defeating Arsenal, drawing with Chelsea and other tough battles. This kind of Manchester United is definitely more hopeful to win the last laugh than Manchester City, which is suffering from internal and external troubles.
Ancelotti is also extremely proud of the team's achievements: "This is really incredible. As we all know, we have experienced the worst injury attack in history. This situation is very rare. I once thought that the situation had improved.
, but Jones contracted the flu after returning, Smallin injured his head after returning, Anderson's injury recurred, and Nani sprained his ankle... But none of this affected the team's pursuit. Their performance was really
Outstanding.”
Regarding Manchester City's competitiveness, Anshuai said frankly: "To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to their games. I know they will face tough opponents like Arsenal and Chelsea, but for us, it is important to play every game well."
The game is the most important thing. Thinking too much and too far will disrupt your thoughts and put you in a dangerous situation."
Nowadays, more and more people are optimistic that Manchester United can overwhelm Manchester City and win the championship.
Arsenal's legendary striker Ian Wright pointedly pointed out in an interview with "The Sun": "Manchester City's disadvantage in experience was finally exposed. Manchester City has top players, but unlike Manchester United, Manchester City lacks championship experience.
Manchester City often has its ups and downs, but Manchester United understands
How to maintain stability, even if they are not in good form, they also know how to win the game with a score of 1-0 in 90 minutes. Maybe as people say, this is not the best Manchester United, but it is undeniable that Manchester United is still the top
Yes, they are in a position to win."
Roy Keane pointed out: "If you don't get rid of Manchester United when they are in bad form, then you will eventually pay the price for it, just like Manchester City's current situation. Manchester United has gone from being a chaser to now being 4 ahead.
Point, this situation is very similar to Manchester United's preemptive comeback to win the championship in previous years. If Manchester United can still win the league championship under such difficult circumstances this season, then they will become even more difficult to defeat next season. Therefore,
This is almost Mancini's last chance."
But does Mancini still have a chance? Compared with Manchester United's next schedule, Manchester City's last 10 rounds are full of thorns. They will face Chelsea at home, challenge Arsenal away, and then have a peak showdown with Manchester United in the penultimate round.
If Mancini's team is unable to get out of its recent downturn, the suspense of the league title will be announced before the Manchester derby.
In the blink of an eye, in the next round of competition, Manchester United scored another three points at Old Trafford. As the media said, all other championship possibilities have been lost, and Manchester United can show its dominance in the league.
Of course, there is one person who deserves credit for all this, and that is Manchester United’s No. 9!
It’s Li Yu again! He scored two goals in the lightning victory over Liverpool; he opened the scoring in the away win over Tottenham; he scored twice in defeating West Bromwich Albion at home; he scored twice against Fulham in this campaign
, it was him who won with one blow. Li Yu has scored 17 goals for Manchester United in the last 17 games. In the last 9 games, he has scored 11 goals like a chopping of melons and vegetables. This is suffocating.
Manchester United, this is crazy Li Yu.
Against Fulham at home, Manchester United did not seem excited at the beginning. It seemed that the eight-day truce had stranded the excellent state of the Red Devils. However, Li Yu, who has always been fully devoted to the game, was an exception. Only 8 minutes into the game, he
He almost assisted Welbeck to score.
At that time, Li Yu stole the ball in the frontcourt and dribbled the ball at high speed to the penalty area. After attracting the attention of three defensive players, he promptly distributed the ball to the left space. Unfortunately, Welbeck made a mistake in stopping the ball and missed the opportunity for a single goal.
After that, the game reached a stalemate, and the slow offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides made the fans depressed for nearly half an hour. However, the turning point came in the 42nd minute of the game. Mata dunked the defender on the left and made a trademark arcing pass with his right foot.
Evans, who was outflanking from the center and back, caught Riise's clearance error and knocked the ball back to the center. Li Yu faced the empty goal and scored in one stroke, instantly igniting the passion of the entire Old Trafford.
This is the sixth time in Li Yu's career that he has scored Fulham's goal in the league, making him, along with Yakub, Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Viduka, Fulham's number one natural enemy.
At the same time, Li Yu's league goals this season have also reached 26, which also makes him equal Van Persie who scored 26 goals in the Premier League scorer list.
With 8 rounds left in the league, Li Yu is also expected to break his career record of 32 league goals in a single season set in the 2010 season. Of course, Li Yu has scored 38 goals in all competitions this season.
It is also expected to hit his career-best data of 45 goals in a single season.
In addition, Li Yu's total goals at Manchester United have reached 175, only 4 goals behind the fourth-ranked legendary superstar George Best and super striker Denis Violle. You know, the top scorer in Manchester United's history, Bo
No more goals than Charlton
It is 249 goals. Considering Li Yu's age of 23 and his stable scoring rate of 30-40 goals per season in the past three seasons, Li Yu is expected to surpass Bobby Charle at the age of 26 as long as he does not transfer.
Sir John Ton became Manchester United's all-time leading goalscorer.
However, Li Yu's performance was not over yet. After that, Manchester United's No. 10 also sent wonderful passes to his teammates many times. In the 46th minute, Li Yu passed through the five-man goal and blasted Fulham's entire defense line. Unfortunately, he was already prepared.
Mata, who challenged the opponent's goalkeeper, was slightly offside.
In the 56th minute, Li Yu once again set up a fort for Mata. His diagonal ball helped his teammates break into the penalty area and form a single goal. Unfortunately, Manchester United's Magic Wings was knocked down by the opponent at the moment of kicking off. Opta's post-match statistics show that Li Yu's
The number of threatening balls sent out in the game is as high as 3 times, second only to Valencia, the right winger who is in red and purple condition.
In the 79th minute, when Li Yu was replaced by Scholes, the 75,570 fans in the audience stood up to applaud the team's goal hero and chanted Li Yu's name in unison. The heroic hymn shook the audience like a tsunami.
All of Old Trafford.
Fans know very well that whether Li Yu can continue his current hot state is the key to the success or failure of the team's goal of hitting the 21st crown. Ancelotti replaced Li Yu in advance to save strength for the final sprint. But even if he did not play the full game,
Li Yu still scored a game-high 8 points in the "Sky Sports" post-match rating, and was elected the best player of the game without any suspense.
Of course, judging from the current situation, people don't have to worry about Li Yu's condition and physical fitness. For Li Yu, he has not enjoyed the freedom of single-line combat for a long time, so he seems to contain endless power in his body.
In last weekend's match against Wolves, Li Yu took a very casual shot during the pre-match warm-up, which actually broke the wrist of the ball boy on the sidelines. This shows how shocking Li Yu's shot is.
After Li Yu learned the news, he immediately publicly expressed his apology to the ball boy and sent a letter of apology and a signed jersey to the Manchester United youth training player named Jamie Thomason.
However, I believe that any Manchester United fans will not care about Li Yu's reckless shot, because they are very happy to see such a powerful shot from Manchester United No. 9. They just don't know that after this incident spread, when Li Yu tried his best in the game
When shooting, the opponent's goalkeeper will not feel a tightness in his wrist like a conditioned reflex.
There is constant good news about Manchester United, but there are always rumors of internal strife in Manchester City.
This time it’s none other than the “whyalwaysme?” player!
Balotelli is in trouble again! Since there is no match in the middle of the week, the Manchester City team has two days off. Balotelli got Mancini's permission to fly back to Milan to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, Balotelli broke into the press conference of Inter Milan's new coach with a high profile.
The scene of the meeting aroused laughter from the Inter Milan officials, coaches and reporters present. No one expected that Balotelli would have sex with coach Mancini in the first training session after returning to Manchester.
The "Daily Telegraph", "Mirror" and "Daily Mail" said that Mancini and Balotelli had a fierce conflict during training on Wednesday. The 47-year-old Mancini was against Balotelli
I was very dissatisfied with my slack performance on the training ground. During a tactical training
During the training session, Balotelli yelled at Balotelli and scolded Balotelli, and Balotelli naturally reacted violently. Assistant coach Lombardo came over and asked Balotelli to go elsewhere.
So Balotelli left the training ground to take part in a physical test.
From the photos taken by the photographer, it can be clearly seen that Mancini made a "**" mouth gesture, while a very depressed Balotelli leaned on a dummy used as a training wall for free kicks and was dejected.
.I can’t remember how many times Balotelli has clashed with Mancini. Manchester City officials hope that
Let’s try to minimize the problem and say that this is just due to Mancini’s high standards on the training ground. Since joining from Inter Milan for a transfer fee of 24 million pounds in August 2010, Balotelli has been photographed twice by reporters.
They were violent with their teammates on the training ground, namely Jerome Boateng and Richards.
In recent weeks, Balotelli's performance on the court has been poor, and his negative news off the court has made headlines in the media. 36 hours before Manchester City's home game against Bolton, Balotelli went to Liverpool to watch a striptease in the early morning.
The performance was filmed by paparazzi when leaving the strip club, and Balotelli was fined one week's salary. Previously, he had been scolded by Mancini for smoking too much, and even once smoked in the Manchester City dressing room.
Earlier this season, just hours before the Manchester derby, Balotelli set off fireworks while studying "rocket launching technology" in the bathtub of his apartment, causing the house to catch fire; during the Manchester derby, Balotelli was
After Manchester City scored the first goal, he lifted up his jersey to reveal the T-shirt underneath, which read "why always me?"
Yes, whyalwaysme? Why is it Balotelli who dominates the headlines of newspapers? How many people in this world can understand the world of Balotelli?
At the same time, this season’s Premier League will come to an end with eight rounds left, and the title battle between the Manchester duo is intensifying. In addition to the all-out sprint on the field, the smell of gunpowder outside the field is also gradually getting stronger. Following Manchester United’s public statement (WeChat)
After a desperate performance, Vieira attacked Manchester United for the second time in a week or so. Manchester City's director of football development publicly stated that the referee gave Manchester United a
Special care.
Obviously, Vieira was referring to the 89th minute of Manchester United's home game against Fulham on Monday night. Carrick kicked Danny Murphy in the penalty area, but the referee Oliver deprived him of this obvious goal.
Penalty kick. After Manchester United successfully scored 3 points, they overtook the championship rival Manchester City by 3 points in the standings. Considering that there are 8 rounds left in the league, the 3-point lead will give Manchester United a considerable share in the championship battle.
Psychological advantages.
Vieira said that he did not watch the match between Manchester United and Fulham, but he still said in an interview with the BBC: "When Manchester United plays at home, they always have what other teams have when they play at home.
There is no advantage. When you are the leader, you always have an advantage, so Manchester United are the favorites.
When you go away to Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona or AC Milan, it is always difficult for the referee to make a decision that goes against these teams. That is why these teams keep winning, so we need to keep winning games,
The purpose is to have this advantage in the future.”
"We are delighted to have Tevez back. This was a hiatus between him and the club, but now the players are happy to see him back playing for Manchester City. This is a moment for Manchester City. It has been since the beginning of the season.
, we have always been the best team, we play the best football."
Although Vieira insisted that his remarks were not a direct criticism of Manchester United, Manchester United boss Ferdinand (Weibo) still hit back on his Sina Weibo, "Why does Vieira care so much about Manchester United... Within a week
I’ve reviewed Manchester United twice, save it, buddy, let it go!”
But then, Manchester City Club refuted the rumors on its official website. The headline on Manchester City's official website was "Vieira is very disappointed and angry at the BBC's inaccurate report taken out of context. He believes this is a very serious and intolerable distortion of the facts."
Report.”
Manchester City's official website pointed out: Vieira was interviewed by the BBC at the event, but BBC reporter Rodin did not report the content of the interview truthfully, but took it out of context and said that Vieira bombarded the referee.
Vieira said: "I am very angry about Roan's behavior. I made it clear twice during the interview that I had no intention of being dissatisfied with the referee. And I emphasized that I did not watch the match between Manchester United and Fulham.
Competition, and I have not seen relevant reports. This information was not mentioned at all in the interview, and
And for taking my conversation out of context, I called the reporter twice to ask him to retract the article and apologize. I think the BBC and Rodin are very disrespectful to me personally, Manchester City Club and this charity event. Manchester City Club decided to issue a ban
, Dan Roan is banned from attending any media events at Manchester City."
