host must win

Chapter 626 Respite
A day has passed since the game, but Arsenal fans are still unwilling to accept the fact that their team lost to Manchester United again. Arsenal has not won against Manchester United in the league for three years!
After the game, the media in London pointed their guns at referee Graham Poll's law enforcement, thinking that Manchester United's second goal was fouled first, and complained for Cesc Fabregas.

"The Sun" also severely criticized Park Ji-sung, attacking that the Korean is a trash player who lacks basic morals and should be permanently suspended.However, the referee's official report after the game showed that Park Ji-sung did not have any provocative words to Fabregas.

"Manchester United No. 13 did not have inappropriate words or deeds towards Arsenal No. 15." These are the original words in Ball's post-match report.

The "Guardian" also stood up to complain about Park Ji-sung. The newspaper accused some media of deliberately discrediting Park Ji-sung and Manchester United, which is a slander to this Korean gentleman.

"The Sun" is not only criticizing Park Ji-sung, Yin Jun, who raised two fingers at the press conference to answer reporters' questions, is considered by the "Sun" as a provocation to Arsenal and Wenger. This is not a real gentleman. due behavior.

In this regard, Yin Jun directly expressed his response to the accusation of "The Sun" with "hehe".

………………

The biggest beneficiary of this game is Fletcher. His outstanding performance has greatly improved the reputation of Manchester United's youth talent Fletcher in world football. It can even be described as fame in the first battle.

In the first two seasons, although Fletcher has already achieved some fame, it was not until this season that the Manchester United youth academy product really received more attention.

Of course, Fletcher first came to the attention of the world's media for less glamorous reasons, but he was quick to make his own response.In the game against Chelsea, his goal helped Manchester United end Chelsea's unbeaten record. This can be regarded as his own name for the accusation of the team's legendary captain.

And in the game against Arsenal, he performed well, defended steadily, and played such a shocking world wave in offense, rewriting the score, this performance won him countless fans.

After the game, many media around the world frequently mentioned Fletcher's name when reporting on the game, and even used it as a front page report. Fletcher's influence in the world has greatly increased, and even some fake fans have heard of it. Fletcher's name.

After the game, the Premier League website also praised Fletcher: Running at all costs, never getting tired, building a barrier in front of the team's defense, scoring golden goals at critical moments, after O'Shea was replaced , Carrying Manchester United's midfield defensive responsibility alone, he is the best in the game.

………………

Defeating Arsenal in the away game allowed Manchester United to achieve a wave of ten consecutive victories in the Premier League. This allowed Manchester United to bite Chelsea in the Premier League standings and not fall behind.

During this period of time, Manchester United and Chelsea have been racing all the way in the Premier League standings. The gap between the teams behind them and the Blues and Red Devils is getting bigger and bigger: Today, Liverpool, who is third in the standings, is 15 points behind Manchester United up!

目前，切尔西以19胜1平1负，58个积分领跑积分榜；而曼联则以18胜2平1负, 56个积分紧随其后；利物浦少赛2轮，以12胜5平2负，41个积分排名第三。

Looking at the achievements of Chelsea and Manchester United, and the abnormal stability of the two teams, many British media said that this season will have a record-setting high-scoring champion and high-scoring runner-up.

It is said that one bang, one exhaustion, three declines, in this kind of long tug-of-war, it is a test of the ability of the two teams to resist pressure.Once someone makes a mistake, they may be left behind by their opponents, thus falling behind in the championship.

………………

Three days later, Manchester United ushered in the third round of the FA Cup.

For this game, Manchester United rotated all eleven starters.Ferguson made such a choice. I don't know whether he looked down on Burton, a non-professional league team, thinking that a full substitute lineup would be enough to win the away game, or ruled out the FA Cup from his plan.

It is worth mentioning that many Manchester United players are no strangers to Burton's home stadium, the Pirelli Stadium.Just in the past November 11th, Ferguson personally led the team including Scholes and Smith to this stadium which cost 14 million pounds and was just completed and opened this season, and had a match with Burton. A friendly match equivalent to the opening ceremony.

The reason why Ferguson is so polite to this humble small team is obviously because its current coach Nigel Clough is the famous coach Brian Crow who coached Nottingham Forest back then and passed away last year. husband's son.

"I once led the team to play against Brian twice in the FA Cup, and the results were one win and one loss. I hope that we will be lucky for the third time." Ferguson said when talking about this old opponent.

In the early days when the Scot took office, Nottingham Forest led by Clough was still a strong team in English football. It was precisely because of the unexpected victory in the FA Cup in Nottingham in January 1990 that Manchester United did not suffer from the pressure at that time. The dismissal of Ferguson, thus creating the Manchester United dynasty in the past 1 years.

………………

However, friendship belongs to friendship. It is still an "impossible task" for Burton, who has not yet entered the English professional league circle, to play the role of "giant killer" in the game.

Solskjaer started the game as the captain. Manchester United failed to grasp the limited opportunities in the game. Instead, Bardsley made two key clearances in front of the goal line to keep the goal.

In the end, Manchester United drew 0:0 with their opponents away, and the two sides will choose a rematch at Old Trafford.

This is an acceptable result for both parties: Manchester United played with a substitute lineup, which won a respite for the main lineup, and has not yet been eliminated from the FA Cup; Playing games at the Rafford Stadium has also greatly improved their reputation.

Of course, what really makes Burton happy is the financial benefits.

According to the tradition of English football, when a non-professional league team like Burton plays against a Premier League team, the game day income will basically be given to low-level teams, which can be regarded as supporting the development of non-professional leagues with practical actions.

Although the Glazers are vampires, they will not risk the world to destroy this tradition.

And with the huge capacity of the Old Trafford Stadium and the current super high attendance rate, even if Burton loses the game, they will get a huge income in the millions of pounds!
