Before the game between Manchester United and Stoke City, the Red Devils maintained a very interesting record. Their past 11 league goals were scored by 11 different players. The number of goals scored by Manchester United in the league is as follows
The number of players reached 13, and this number is difficult to match in the entire European football world!
In the first eight rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United has scored 21 goals. This number ranks first in the Premier League. Among the five major leagues, Manchester United's offensive firepower is second only to Bundesliga leader Bayern's 26 goals in 8 games and Barcelona's 8.
24 goals per game ranked third. What is more terrifying than the number of goals scored is the number of goals scored by Manchester United.
Among these 21 goals, including Robin van Persie (6 goals), Rooney (2 goals), Rafael (2 goals), Shinji Kagawa (2 goals), Welbeck, Hernandez, Scholes,
Nani, Powell, Butner, Evra, Evans, Cleverley, a total of 13 players have tasted scoring goals for Manchester United. Counting the Champions League and League Cup, Carrick and Anderson have also scored.
The ball brought Manchester United's total number of goalscorers to 15.
Currently, Manchester United leads the major European clubs in the number of goals scored in the league. In the Premier League, Manchester City has 10 goals scored in the league, making it the closest team to Manchester United. Although Chelsea leads the league in points, only 8 goals scored.
In La Liga, Barcelona has 9 players scoring goals in the league, Real Madrid has 5 players, and in Serie A, leader Juventus has 12 players score goals.
In an interview after the game, Ancelotti was satisfied with the number of goals scored by the team: "We have now had 15 different players score goals, which is very good."
Due to the arrival of Robin van Persie and the presence of Li Yu, people are full of expectations for Manchester United's pair of golden and silver boots in the Premier League last season.
However, Manchester United's sharp offense cannot cover up their weak defense. Counting this game, Manchester United has conceded the first goal in 6 of the 8 rounds of the Premier League. Although Manchester United won 4 of them and earned 12 points, but in total
Winning in this way makes people nervous.
According to historical data, the number of goals conceded by Manchester United after 8 rounds of games is their worst in the past 10 years.
In the 2004 season, Manchester United only conceded 3 goals in 8 rounds. In the following seasons, the number of goals conceded was 7, 6, 5, 2, 5, 8, 11, 6. Last season, Manchester United only conceded 6 goals in the same period.
This season the number is 11, the same as the 1011 season. Manchester United has played 3 games 3-2 this season (3-2 win over Fulham, 3-2 win over Southampton, 2-3 loss against Tottenham).
With such a high score of 4 to 2 in each game, they conceded 9 goals in these 4 games alone!
After the vertical comparison, we compare the number of goals conceded by Manchester United with other European giants. In the Premier League, Chelsea conceded 6 goals, Arsenal conceded 6 goals, and Manchester City conceded 8 goals; in Serie A, the leader Juventus conceded 6 goals.
4 goals, Inter Milan conceded 6 goals, and Milan conceded 10; in La Liga, Real Madrid conceded 7 goals, and Barcelona, which defeated Deportivo 5-4 with 10 men in this round, also conceded 11 goals. In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich conceded 11 goals.
They scored 26 goals and only conceded 2. In other words, looking at European football, Manchester United's current defense is the weakest among the giants.
The exposure of Manchester United's defensive problems this season is related to the lack of personnel in the back line. Smalling and Phil Jones did not participate in the pre-match training of the new season due to surgery, and Vidic also had another surgery on his knee meniscus not long ago.
After the surgery, Manchester United's defense had to rely on reserve youngster Wootton to provide emergency relief.
Fortunately, Smallin has returned from injury and may be able to play against Chelsea in the next round. Phil Jones can return before playing Arsenal early next month. According to the latest news, captain Vidic can also play.
Performing simple restorative training in bed, Manchester United's difficult defensive situation may be alleviated by the return of the injured.
Since Manchester United spent huge sums of money to sign Robin van Persie this summer and used Van Persie and Li Yu to form a new strike combination for Manchester United, Manchester United fans have begun to look forward to the day when this combination will show off.
However, it was not until today's match between Manchester United and Stoke City, which is the 8th round of the new season, that this pair played together in the same game for the first time.
Although both Li Yu and Robin van Persie are in very hot form recently, it is not Manchester United's King Li Yu who really leads the show of the two making contributions together, but "General Fan" Van Persie.
The start of this game was quite funny for Manchester United. Sitting at home and determined to score three points, Manchester United was scored an own goal by Robin van Persie in the 11th minute of the first half.
However, before the end of the first half, Van Persie made up for it, using a pass and a shot to help Manchester United take the lead in time: In the 26th minute, Manchester United scored the ball in the middle. Van Persie received the pass from the left and made a pass.
A nearly perfect arc bypassed Stoke City defender Shawcross at the front point, helping Li Yu easily score a header in front of the goal, achieving "redemption" in a quarter of an hour.
In the 44th minute, General Fan personally took action, scoring a go-ahead goal for Manchester United with a knife in his hand: Li Yu passed the ball from the middle to the right, and Valencia shook Stoke City defender Wilson and sent a goal.
A low pass was made, and the ball accurately passed between Wilson's legs without any defender. Van Persie, who was outflanking from the front, unexpectedly turned his ankle and pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal.
Stoke City goalkeeper Begovic obviously failed to respond to Van Persie's imaginative shot and had to watch the ball roll into the corner. Manchester United took the lead! This is the 102nd goal scored by Van Persie in the Premier League in his career.
ball.
This season, Van Persie has scored 6 goals and assisted 3 times for Manchester United in 8 league games, scoring 9 goals by himself. Compared with the same period at Arsenal last season, Van Persie's data is 5 goals, 1 assist and 6 goals, which means
Manchester United's Van Persie is 1.5 times more powerful than Arsenal's Van Persie at the same time!
After Robin van Persie moved to Manchester United, there was a view that it would be difficult for Van Persie to play at the same level at Manchester United as he did at Arsenal, but Van Persie effectively responded to this question with data. In the Premier League scorer list, Van Persie and Demba Ba
, Michutong ranks first with 6 goals, but including assists, Van Persie's 9 goals in 8 games is unrivaled in the Premier League.
Because they are both Dutch, Van Persie has been compared with Manchester United's legendary striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. However, in terms of statistics, Van Persie is also better than Ruud van Nistelrooy at the same time. After Ruud van Nistelrooy joined Manchester United in the 200102 season, he only had 4 goals in the first 8 league rounds.
According to Van Persie's current goal efficiency, it is not difficult to surpass Ruud van Nistelrooy's 23 goals in 32 league games in Manchester United's first season.
In addition, the most terrifying thing about General Fan is that all the goals and assists he has given to Manchester United this season have directly determined the trend and outcome of the game. In the second round of the league, Manchester United reversed Fulham 3-2. Van Persie was
Manchester United's first goal scored in the 10th minute of the game equalized the score for Manchester United.
In the third round of the league, Manchester United once again reversed Southampton 3-2, and Van Persie directly scored all three goals of Manchester United; in the fifth round of the league, Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1, and Van Persie withstood the pressure and scored the winning penalty in the 80th minute.
In the sixth round of the Red Army's penalty kick league, Manchester United lost 2-3 to Tottenham. Robin van Persie's exquisite through ball assist for Shinji Kagawa in the 53rd minute helped Manchester United narrow the score gap to one goal, completely igniting the Red Devils' fighting spirit.
It seems that General Van Persie's pace of scoring goals and assists will never stop, but even if he is enjoying success on the court, there has been no shortage of troubles in Van Persie's life recently.
Due to elbowing Cabaye in the last round of the league against Newcastle, Robin van Persie was in danger of being suspended for three games by the FA some time ago. Fortunately, a subsequent report from "Sky Sports" confirmed that Van Persie will not be punished for that elbow.
Additional penalties.
However, just a week later, because the news that he and his teammates went to the red light district to have fun after the World Cup qualifier between the Netherlands and Romania was exposed by the media, Van Persie was once again thrust into the spotlight. Fortunately, Van Persie can always come up with something more than lace.
For eye-catching goals and assists, just like his performance today. As long as General Fan can continue to block and kill Buddha, people's attention will inevitably fall on the ball at his feet.
On the other hand, Terry's racial discrimination controversy has not really subsided. Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand took the initiative to establish a "Black Players Association", and Premier League players are facing division.
The "Daily Mail" stated that because he was dissatisfied with Terry's suspension of only 4 games and a fine of 220,000 pounds, Rio Ferdinand planned to take further actions. He had privately contacted a number of well-known black Premier League players and planned to establish a separate
Shantou established his own organization.
In the last round of the Premier League, Ferdinand refused to wear a "Kick Racism Out of the Pitch" T-shirt to protest the organization's inability to combat racial discrimination. Some black players responded, such as Manchester City's Lescott and Queen's Park.
Rangers and some Everton players, etc., and Ferdinand is also seeking to set up an organization called the "Black Players Association". In the next few weeks, he will have several meetings with some people in London.
Today, Ferdinand's establishment of the organization has received more and more support, and many black players in the Premier League have responded. "Daily Mail" stated that Ferdinand is likely to be elected as the first president of the association, and some retired
, influential black players will also be involved in organizational work.
Once the "Black Players Association" is established, it may cause division and opposition among Premier League players. The differences and estrangements between black players and white players may be put on the table. In future Premier League games, for example, Ferdinand Jr. refused to shake hands with John Terry.
Incidents such as this may become a large-scale unified action by the organization, and the Premier League may enter a period of intensified racial opposition similar to the "American Civil War Era".
In this regard, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville expressed concerns. He believed that if this continues, there will be serious divisions and confrontations in the English arena. Neville wrote in his column: "Football has a direct reflection on many social issues. Professional football has a direct reflection on many social issues.
What the players' union should do is to ensure that the 'Berlin Wall' is not erected from now on."
Coming to the Champions League, with Hernandez's two goals and Evans' goal, Manchester United pulled back 3 goals in a row after falling behind 2-0 at home, and thrillingly reversed the Portuguese powerhouse Braga, winning 3 points in the Champions League group stage.
A complete victory is in sight.
In this game, Manchester United fell behind 0-2 in the first 20 minutes. This is the eighth time they have conceded first in all competitions this season.
When asked by reporters what he thought of this phenomenon, goal scorer Hernandez jokingly said: "I was thinking, oh, we only need to score 3 more goals to win and get 3 points!
We had a bit of a bad start to this game, but thankfully we scored 3 goals and we are looking forward to the next game. I learned a lot from this game and when I get the chance, I have to do my best."
In fact, in the first half, Hernandez scored once but was ruled offside. Through the slow-motion replay, the linesman's penalty was questionable. Hernandez said: "That's not the case."
It was offside, but nothing matters anymore, the most important thing is the 3 points."
In this campaign, Ancelotti rested veteran Ferdinand and chose to let Carrick play as central defender. However, it was Carrick's lack of marking that caused Manchester United to lose the second goal.
Ancelotti said after the game that there was no problem with his decision: "I think we made the right choice, it was not Carrick's fault. I think you have to take into account Leo's age, and we have to play against Chelsea next
(Weibo), we still play Chelsea in the League Cup, and then Arsenal. We lost Vidic, Jones and Smalling. Although Carrick was not the best choice, he completed his task well."
Regarding another comeback victory this season, Ancelotti said: "This has been our practice at home this season. We have a bad start and then concede the goal and then save the game. This is what the forward players did for us.
Some of the performances in the game were great, but the goals conceded worried me."
Xiao Wandou, who has been serving as a substitute this season, scored twice in this game. The explosion of the four forwards gave Ancelotti a headache: "Xiao Wandou's training is very good, he has been improving, and his scoring rate is very good.
Excellent, his run on the second ball was so wonderful! He deserves my careful consideration. With him here, as well as Van Persie, Li Yu, and Welbeck, to be honest, I really don’t know what to do.”
Maybe the victory in the game made Ancelotti feel a little more relaxed. In fact, Ancelotti was not so calm during the halftime break. At that time, Manchester United was trailing 1 to 2. He publicly expressed his opposition to the opponent in an interview with ITV.
The referee’s dissatisfaction: “I can’t believe that we fell behind and got beaten in the first 1 minute and 20 seconds. We played some wonderful coordination, but one good shot was blown away by the linesman.
In a highly controversial game, Manchester United defeated Chelsea 3-2 at Stamford Bridge. Red Devils coach Ancelotti admitted after the game that the team had a little luck in winning. However, Torres was sentenced
An Shuai believed that the red card he received for "flopping" was "deserved".
"It's been ten years since we last won a league game here," Ancelotti said. "I said before the game that we have experienced some shocking decisions on this ground. Here.
The game is very difficult and it is difficult to make all the referee's decisions go in your favor. The cheering fans played a certain role. They performed well and supported their team. During the period before and after half-time, we were very happy.
passive."
"I thought we regrouped really well and got back into the game. They said the winning goal was offside, so we were a little bit lucky."
"But we started so well and our performance was absolutely phenomenal, but then with about 10 minutes to go before half-time we got a little bit out of control. To be honest, I was looking forward to half-time.
.They scored the second goal in the second half, but from that point on, we started to play normally, and I think we did that."
Chelsea was sent off two people during the game. Ancelotti was also asked about his views on the two red cards. He said: "The opponent's right back (Ivanovic) was sent off. It was ours."
It was a turning point and I thought from that moment on we were going to win the game. I brought on Hernandez and he scored the winning goal and I thought the momentum was swinging in our favor."
One of the biggest controversies in this game was that Torres was punished for "diving" and received a second yellow card. Ancelotti commented that t9 "deserved" the card: "Torres could have moved on, did he intentionally fail?"
Down? I think he was, I think Evans maybe touched him a little bit, but you can choose to keep running forward, which is what Torres could have done, or go down.
Torres could have continued running and scored, and that's what I don't understand about shooters. I would never fall to the ground and give up that opportunity. I would seize the opportunity at any time without falling. Torres fell to the ground,
And he's already received a yellow card before, so it's his own fault and he deserves a red card."
Manchester United's Valencia was also punished for diving and received a yellow card. Ancelotti explained, "I think that penalty is a bit bizarre. I can't understand the card against Valencia because he has already broken through.
, he fell to the ground for no reason. The referee took his penalty for granted, because it was Mikel who was fighting with him. If Mikel was sentenced to foul and played a card, because he had the card, he should be punished, so
The referee can only make this decision."
Regarding Chelsea's performance, Ancelotti still praised Chelsea: "You have to praise Chelsea, they never give up, you look at David Luiz, he is running around like an ascetic, that is his fight to get back into the game*
*. Chelsea took a gamble and obviously failed, but they showed a strong desire to win the game and you have to give them recognition and praise for that."
Mexican forward Hernandez, who scored the winning goal for Manchester United, said he didn't care about the controversy. When asked whether his goal was offside, Xiaowu said: "We don't care, we won and got three points.
That's the only thing we think about. Maybe for some people it's very controversial and for others not. For us, we won three points and it's very difficult to come to Stamford Bridge and get three points,
We are very lucky and very happy.”
When asked about the offside kick again, Xiaowu said: "Maybe it was offside, and I looked at the linesman, just a habitual action. This was a really difficult game because they caught up at the last moment of the first half.
But we were lucky enough to score the last goal, and every time we play against our direct rivals for the title, every game is difficult, so we are very happy to get the three points.”
Torres fell to the ground under Evans' tackle, and was subsequently ruled "diving" by the referee Clattenburg, who showed him a second yellow card. Evans admitted after the game that there was physical contact between him and Torres."
I didn't feel like I had any physical contact with him at the time, but I watched the video again and there was a little contact. I felt at the time that it wasn't enough to bring him to the ground. He maybe realized he couldn't get the ball, and I think the referee made a penalty
