Chapter 16 Half-time Champion

A few weeks ago, Ancelotti was still defending Li Yu, who was stuck in a scoring drought, and firmly believed that Li Yu would get through this difficult period and eventually have a blowout.

Sure enough, Manchester United's No. 9 scored two goals to capture the Etihad Stadium in return for his appreciation and trust in Ancelotti. But as Ancelotti said, "Li Yu will usher in a scoring spree!"

, Manchester City Derby's two goals are far from the end of Manchester United's No. 9 explosion.

In this match against Black Cat Sunderland, Li Yu continued his previous heroic form of blocking and killing gods. He has scored 3 goals in the last 2 rounds. His desire to shoot in this game is still strong, causing huge damage to the gate guarded by Mignolet.

threats.

In the 22nd minute, Mata made a pass from the left, and Van Persie, who had already opened the scoring, headed the ball to Li Yu in front of the goal. Unfortunately, Li Yu's volley shot in front of the goal missed the near post.

A minute later, Manchester United's offensive came back. Li Yu received Evra's cross at almost the same position, but he was still unlucky and his header was a little crooked. In the 47th minute, Valencia's right

From the pass, Li Yu took the shot, but unfortunately hit the crossbar.

But in the end, the hard work paid off, and the diligent No. 9 of Manchester United finally scored in the 59th minute. This was a typical center-forward goal. After Van Persie passed two players on the left, he kicked the ball low.

When the ball reached the goal, Li Yu was caught between two defenders and took the first shot, and the ball went into the net.

With this goal, Li Yu has scored 14 goals in the past 10 league games, and Manchester United has scored a total of 25 goals during this period, accounting for 56% of the total goals!

Not long ago, the official website of the Premier League announced the voting results of the 2012 Barclays Global Fan Survey. Manchester United forward Li Yu was elected as the best player in the Premier League. Manchester United legend and Giggs, known as the living fossil of the Premier League, was interviewed by the Daily Mail.

In an interview with the Daily News, he praised Li Yu, who is now in great form, saying that his current performance reminded him of Luo Luo who played for Manchester United. But in fact, by analyzing and comparing the data of Li Yu and Luo when they played for Manchester United, we got a

An unexpected result - Li Yu is even better than Luo at Manchester United!

In the 5 years since joining Manchester United, Li Yu scored a total of 136 goals in 164 appearances, averaging one goal per game, slightly higher than Luo's 173 goals per game.

The number of balls, 089, is far more than Luo's 043.[

In terms of shooting efficiency, there is a 10 percentage point difference between Li Yu's 5825% and Luo's 4810%. However, in terms of shooting efficiency, from the shot-to-goal ratio, Li Yu needs 334 shots to score a goal, while Luo needs 334 shots to score a goal.

72 times, Manchester United's No. 9 was far more efficient.

In terms of final assists, since joining the Red Devils, Li Yu has contributed 63 assists, averaging 0.54 assists per game, while Luo's average assists are only 0.16. You must know that Luo was worth 80 million pounds when he moved to Real Madrid. Now Li Yu

He produced even better statistics than Ronaldo at the time, so how much is Manchester United’s No. 9 worth?

Last season, Manchester United's opponent in the final round was Sunderland. After winning the opponent, they were anxiously waiting for the score of Manchester City. When the news of Aguero's goal came, the gloating Sunderland fans faced the Manchester United players.

Danced the Poznań dance to humiliate the generals who laughed at Rooney.

Li Yu said before this game that this game would be a revenge game against Sunderland, and he did it with practical actions. This game has been 215 days since the last game of last season. Li Yu

Returning this shame to Sunderland fans after 215 days.

Over the years, Li Yu has not only been able to serve as a green leaf next to Luo and Robin van Persie, but has also been able to take the lead even when there are no big-name stars in the team. No wonder Giggs also praised him: "Li Yu can score a lot of goals, but

If his teammates score more goals than him, he won't be unhappy, that's the kind of player he is. He is very willing to assist his teammates to score goals, but he can also score key goals at critical moments."

Almost everyone is talking about Robin van Persie. As for Li Yu, once Manchester United's number one star, now it is often meaningful to be linked to Van Persie's name. Even Li Yu scored twice in the Manchester City derby, but was eventually defeated.

Robin van Persie stole a large part of the limelight. But what makes Sir Alex Ferguson happy is that this grassroots hero trained by the British working class has no jealousy. With a low-key and humble teammate like Van Persie, Lunigan can be a green leaf.

Tactically, Rooney plays the role of an organizer. Although he also admitted in his autobiography that as he gets older, his speed has slowed down, but his ability to read the game has become better, so he prefers to drop back in the midfield to participate in organization.

, but there is no doubt that the most dazzling player is always the player who scores the goal. Robin van Persie (12 goals), currently the club's top scorer, is naturally more worthy of discussion than Li Yu (7 goals).

In the next round of matches, at Swansea's Liberty Stadium, Manchester United was tenaciously tied 1-1 by their opponents. The Red Devils' five-game winning streak in the league was ended, and their lead over Manchester City was reduced to 4 points.

But the result is no longer important. During the game, Swansea defender Williams kicked the ball directly to the back of Van Persie's head when making a clearance. The Dutch forward became furious and had a physical conflict with him, and the situation got out of hand! Ancelotti after the game

Angrily denounced Williams' atrocities, he said that Van Persie might have been killed because of this action (rob female nperseoulhvebeenklle)!

In an interview after the game, Ancelotti said angrily: "Van Persie should be grateful that he is still alive. This is the most dangerous move I have seen on the court in recent years! It's so shameful! Williams almost killed him

Robin van Persie (he(wllms)oulhvekllethel). The FA should investigate the matter and although Williams received a yellow card, he should be suspended for a long time."

Williams, the perpetrator, argued that he did not mean it: "I just wanted to make a clearance, and the ball happened to hit his head. I really wanted to make a clearance. Van Persie was obviously very angry about this, but it was really nothing."

Ancelotti also criticized the referee Oliver's law enforcement. He believed that before Michu scored the equalizer, Van Persie was obviously violated but was ignored by Oliver. Ancelotti said: "That was a clear foul. Van Persie was fouled.

Violation, the referee had a good day, but we didn't get anything from him. His level of officiating today was shocking, I know he is young, but I am very disappointed with his performance."

With only one draw, Manchester United's lead over Manchester City has been reduced to 4 points. Ancelotti said that Manchester United ruined the good game by itself: "We lost 2 points ourselves. We have completely suppressed our opponents.

The performance in the second half was very good and it's unbelievable that we didn't win the game. The only criticism I have is that our final goal was disappointing. I don't have any criticism for the overall performance of the team, we performed very well."

During the Premier League match between Manchester United and Swansea last weekend, conflicts broke out between players on the field, and discordant incidents also occurred off the field. A fan threw fireworks into the crowd, but fortunately no one was injured in the incident.

, Welsh police have been involved in investigating the incident.

In this game, Manchester United opened the scoring with Evra's goal, and then the home team's forward Michu equalized the score for the team.[

During the game, a firework thrown by a fan hit the roof of the stadium and fell into the crowd. Fortunately, no one was injured during this time.

"We are keen to provide a family environment for our fans at the Liberty Stadium and we welcome fans from all over the UK," South Wales Police Chief Jeff Handley said in an interview.

"This incident was caused by an extremely irresponsible person, but fortunately no one was injured in the incident."

"We hope to get the help of witnesses, which will be very important in our investigation. We hope that with the help of witnesses, we can confirm the identity of the perpetrator and let him explain to the court."

There have been two consecutive incidents at Swansea's home court. In the team's last 4-3 victory over Norwich City, the police also announced that the game would be closed due to fans' racially discriminatory behavior during the game.

investigation.

The start of the devil's schedule was good, but then, Manchester United's old problems recurred, and the comeback king returned magnificently.

4 to 3! Another exciting score, another winning goal in stoppage time, and the players in red celebrating and roaring wildly on the field... This is Manchester United, this season.

The scene is for Red Devils fans all over the world.

It has become commonplace to say, from falling behind, to equalizing; falling behind again, equalizing again; falling behind for the third time and then equalizing again, pointing directly to the last-minute victory of Little Pea, which made Old Trafford completely boiling, and Manchester United was ups and downs again.

Amidst the ups and downs, I got a 3 points.

This game is against Newcastle, which has been in poor form recently and is suffering from internal strife. Winning should be a piece of cake. However, Ancelotti and his disciples insist on leaving the suspense until the last moment, insisting on winning for the world.

Fans presented another visual feast

Banquet: Newcastle player Page broke through the door of Manchester United in just 5 minutes. In the 25th minute, Evans' goal brought Manchester United back from the edge of the cliff; however, the good times did not last long, only 4 minutes later Newcastle

The score was exceeded again.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and a small climax came. The two sides scored 3 goals in just 13 minutes: In the 58th minute, Evra's goal helped Manchester United tie the score to 2-

2 draws; Cisse scored in the 68th minute, and the Magpies scored the first goal in the game.

They took the lead 3 times; 3 minutes later (71st minute), Van Persie changed the score to 3-3 again... Just when people thought that the game would end in such a draw, Little Pea unexpectedly shot out and scored.

A shot from the first 8 yards broke the net, 4 to 3!

Manchester United had the last laugh in this thrilling goal battle!

Falling behind 3 times and equalizing 3 times, he scored a decisive victory in the stoppage time of the game, and the score increased alternately 7 times. Manchester United's ups and downs game was arranged on Boxing Day, which is definitely the best for the fans.

Gift, the two sides scored 7 goals in 86 minutes (from the 5th minute to the 91st minute). It can be said that they jointly cooked a Christmas dinner for the fans.

According to Wenger's words, this football match was as good as tennis.

There is no reversal, and there is no win. This season, Manchester United has proven time and again that some of its wins and comebacks are no accident. In this game, falling behind even once does not seem to satisfy Manchester United's "appetite". They have a total of

After falling behind three times, they managed to equalize tenaciously each time, and then scored the winning goal in the 90th minute with the help of Little Pea, who was born for the ultimate goal. This added the most perfect footnote to this year's Boxing Day Premier League.

To say that this season is a team that is good at reversals and scoring at the last moment, the Manchester duo will not give in too much. However, Manchester City, which has won 5 times after beating Reading in the last round, faced Manchester United, which has reversed 8 times.

Still looks eclipsed.

Frequent reversals are a virtuous cycle that allows the team to never give up when they are behind. Successful comebacks in turn develop the team's temperament. Halfway through the league this season, Manchester United has reversed eight times and earned 24 points.

Points! If the recording videos of these eight games are played together, what a spectacular scene it will be!

There is no need to cite too many examples to prove Manchester United's reversal ability and winning ability. The bloody spirit when falling behind, the efficiency of the attack, the determination to win and some luck are all important factors that constitute a reversal or even a winning game.

, which is also an important reason why Manchester United won the title in the middle of this season.

In fact, at the end of the last round, Manchester United had already led by 4 points and secured the half-time championship of the 2012-13 season in advance. With Manchester City's loss in this round, Manchester United's lead has expanded to 7 points. The 7-point advantage has been the highest in all Premier League history.

There are quite a few half-time champions. And the Premier League 2

Since 2000, there have been 10 half-time championship teams that can win the final prize. According to the probability, the one who wins the half-time championship has a 50% chance of winning the trophy. Manchester United can be said to have touched 20 championship trophies with one hand. And Manchester United has won the trophy in the past.

He has won the half-distance championship 7 times and won the final 5 times.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester United has achieved the most reversals throughout the season. They have "robbed" the Premier League championship from the half-time championship 7 times, including Norwich, Newcastle, and Liverpool (2

times), Chelsea, Leeds United and Arsenal have all become the spoils of Manchester United's season turnaround.

Among them, in the 1995-96 season, Manchester United even made a huge comeback after being 10 points behind Newcastle at the halfway point to win the championship, which also caused the collapse of Kevin Keegan's psychological warfare. However, there are many examples of Manchester United being reversed. In 1997-98

In the season, Manchester United led Arsenal by 4 points before Christmas, but was eventually reversed and won the championship. In the 2003-04 season, Manchester United was also reversed and won the championship by Arsenal.

This is also a wake-up call for Manchester United, which aims to win 22 championships - often relying on reversals to win can at least show that the team's performance is not stable enough, and at least there are obvious problems in defense.

The Premier League has passed its halfway mark, and the rivalry between Manchester City and Manchester City is like a battle between Chu and Han. Manchester United beat Manchester City to win the half-season championship. But who will finally dominate the world and decide the country? The second half of the schedule will reveal the suspense for us.

In addition, the various armies competing for the Champions League seats are like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with constant wars and disputes. The traditional giant Chelsea has never been involved since it slipped from the top spot. Now it can only sit back and watch the two tigers fight and wait for a miracle.

Tottenham, which has risen this season, can already compete with its local rival Arsenal. Although they lost the North London derby in the first round, they did not lose to the Gunners in the standings. Everton's Goodison Park Stadium has become a terror for the visiting powers.

Forbidden land, this is also a strong guarantee that the Toffees can always stay at the forefront. The super dark horse West Brom is the biggest surprise, and coach Clark takes the greatest credit. This person has never coached any team as a coach before, which makes the team full of enthusiasm.

Legendary color.

Not only that, Stoke City, Swansea and the down-and-out giant Liverpool are all very hopeful of getting a share of the pie. This season's relegation situation has become fierce in advance. Two newly promoted teams, Saints and Reading, are on the list, and Rangers can be called a flower.

Weird. Rangers set a record of the longest 16-game winless streak for a team in the Premier League starting from the beginning. In my mind, the team that fought hard against Manchester City in the last round of last season and avoided relegation was very different. As for Villa, Victoria

Gang, Newcastle, Fulham and even Sunderland are only temporarily ashore, and they will fall into the whirlpool if they are not careful.

As of December 31, the 201213 Premier League season has been played for 20 rounds, with a total of 198 games. Compared with the past four seasons, this season’s Premier League has shown some brand-new characteristics, and some clues can also be seen in the data in the table above.

After 20 rounds, this season's Premier League home win rate is 4343%, draws are 2929%, and away wins are 2727%. Home wins are still the mainstream trend, while draws have increased significantly compared to the past, which is a new high in the past five years. Only Stoke City has

One family has a record of 11 draws.

The traditional giants of the Premier League leading the league remain unchanged. Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and others are clearly dominant. After 20 rounds, they collectively occupy the top five in the standings. The Premier League will still be their game this season.

As can be seen from the data in the table above, the winning rates of these five teams are astonishing, and Manchester United's has reached 80%. The data shows that whether it is home or away, Manchester United's winning rate is by far the highest in the Premier League.

Although Manchester City lost one game less than Manchester United, they could only settle for second place due to too many draws. Chelsea's winning rate has improved a lot recently after the turmoil. They are the most dangerous opportunists after Manchester City. Tottenham were squeezed into the Europa League to make a comeback.

, if the game only lasts 80 minutes, Tottenham's winning rate will be even higher.

Arsenal's reputation as the Gunners is not unfounded. According to statistics, Arsenal has four of the ten big-scoring games, scoring 23 goals. The most miserable giants this season is none other than Liverpool, with 2 draws and 2 losses in 4 rounds, a record of 101.

The Red Army had its worst start of the year, with bumps and bumps along the way. After 20 rounds, the Red Army could only finish ninth. Last season, the Red Army won the League Cup and retained a Europa League seat to barely save the face of the giants. This season, it is completely

The fig leaf has been lifted, and the road to recovery is long and arduous.

The fierce dark horse West Brom has a home winning rate of 70%, which is on par with Manchester City and second only to Manchester United.

As of the 20th round, Stoke City is the only team in the Premier League that has not lost at home. However, due to too many draws, the gold content is slightly low. It is worth mentioning that the team currently concedes the least goals per game.

The Toffees and Everton had just been reversed by the Blues Lampard twice at home in the 20th round, suffering their first defeat. However, if Fellaini is on the court, the outcome is unpredictable. These three teams have the ability to disrupt the situation.

The second group relies on their good performance at home. If they can continue this performance in the second half, they will compete with each other and there will be no peace for a moment.
