Stop the ball ten meters away, the goal depends on Meng

Chapter 472: Ruthless True Fans

"Why is there no competitive pressure at all in the Premier League this year?"

After the 13th round, many Manchester United players and fans expressed such doubts.

This feeling became even stronger especially after the end of the focus match-up between Manchester City and Liverpool that took place later.

Blue Moon, who was sitting at home, was beaten 7:4 by Liverpool, which had never won at the Etihad Stadium in the past seven years!

Center back Mangala scored an own goal, Firmino and Coutinho made passes and shots, Skrtel added the icing on the cake, but only Aguero scored a face-saving goal for Manchester City...

Pellegrini not only failed to show the momentum of a wealthy man, but lost his pants in front of the home fans. The picky Manchester City fans did not care about his mood at all and booed him repeatedly, which made the Chilean engineer feel chilled.

After this battle, the point difference between Manchester City and Manchester United has widened to 14 points, and their position in the standings has also slipped to 4th. Arsenal is ranked ahead of them with a one-point advantage...

Second-placed Leicester City is 11 points behind top-placed Manchester United.

After only 13 rounds, the Red Devils' lead reached double digits.

To say "way ahead" is not an exaggeration at all!

"Hello guys, starting from today, I am your acting head coach. I hope everyone can have a wonderful three games together."

Taking over the coaching reins from Gary Neville was Nicky Butt, a member of Class 92.

His wish is beautiful, and his task is simple.

Manchester United's next three opponents are PSV, Leicester City, and Wolfsburg. Although they are not weak, they are not particularly strong.

At least, it is much easier to deal with than opponents such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Real Madrid, Dortmund, and CSKA Moscow who have a tough style of play and can even be called fierce.

To put it bluntly, based on Manchester United's paper strength, even without Su Changwei, Bart did not take these three opponents seriously!

Then...the smug Mr. Bart fell hard on his first opponent! -

November 11, Old Trafford.

The fifth round of the Champions League group stage is on as scheduled.

As early as during the preparations for war, Mr. Bart had received unfavorable news one after another.

Vice-captains Carrick and Herrera bumped into each other during training and had to play exemption cards at the same time.

Su Changwei was invited by De Gea to play the Spanish goalkeeper's favorite game "Rainbow Six" together. However, because he was too involved and unfortunately encountered the flu, he could only go back to his home to rest peacefully.

Mr. Bart can only comfort himself:

"Didn't Awei miss one of Neville's three games?"

"What he can do, I can do too!"

Then... Manchester United fought fiercely with PSV for 90 minutes at home, but in the end they failed to score a goal and made a draw!

0: 0!

The attacking team led by Robin van Persie, Rooney, and Mata were unable to break through the opponent's city.

Not only that, although Manchester United completed 90 shots in 13 minutes, only 6 shots were within the goal frame, which was extremely inefficient.

Luni, the captain and leader of the team, is only a poor shot.

What is even more pitiful is that Rooney gave 4 answers in four key statistics: the number of shots on goal, opportunities created, successful breakthroughs and crosses.

In addition, he also has a shameful statistic. He only touched the ball 1 times in the whole game, even less than second goalkeeper Romero... This day coincides with the 27th anniversary of the death of Manchester United legend George Best. On the anniversary of , the stands at Old Trafford were filled with slogans and posters commemorating the old football king. Fans were extremely looking forward to the team commemorating the legend with a hearty victory, but they did not expect that the reality would be like this. cruel!

No wonder the fans at the scene gave Rooney a burst of boos after the game:

"We have to attack and we have to score goals!"

"Wayne, if you were a man, cum again!"

Captain Lu blushed and almost became furious on the spot.

It's a pity that there are so many fans booing him. Even if he practiced boxing for a few days, he still wouldn't be able to beat so many people!

Various TV stations in the UK criticized his playing status. Roy Keane, the meritorious captain of Manchester United, even unabashedly criticized him on the show:

"Rooney is the sinner of the team. He is out of shape both mentally and physically. Mentally, he is weak. He does not seem to have a strong desire for the game, does not have enough determination, and does not have the belief to win. And physically , he is not in his best condition, he must re-examine himself!"

Michael Owen, the double star of Manchester United and Liverpool, also said:

"Now Rooney has lost the impact he had when he was young. He can't solve problems alone. I can completely understand this. But as a head coach, we should avoid letting him fall into the dilemma of fighting alone. This will test Mr. Butt's ability. Tactical arrangements and on-the-spot adaptability..."

Eriksen, the former Three Lions coach who is currently coaching Shanghai SIPG, also tactfully stated in an interview that Rooney is no longer suitable to lead Manchester United:

"In Shanghai Club, there are already many star players coming to play, such as Robinho, Demba Ba, etc. If Rooney can join the Chinese Super League, it will bring the entire league to a higher level. I very much hope that he can come Go to Shanghai to play football and retire here..."

The media, fearing that the world would be in chaos, launched a vote one after another:

"Does Manchester United still need Rooney today?"

Nearly 90% of netizens chose the "not needed" option!

The meritorious captain who has played for the Red Devils for 2004 seasons since 11, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys and large intestines... are all completely cold at this moment!

[Are these fans too ruthless? 】

[At that time, I faced so much temptation in Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Chelsea, and I resolutely stayed in the team. Are you not grateful at all?]

[I just asked for tens of thousands more weekly salary, as for kicking me out? 】

[Van Persie, that Dutchman, performed mediocrely today! 】
-

Three days later, on November 11, a frustrated Mr. Butt led his team to an away game to face their opponent in the 28th round of the league, Leicester City, currently second in the Premier League.

The fact that the "Blue Fox" can overtake Arsenal and Manchester City and rank second in the standings is not entirely due to luck, but because they really have the strength.

Schmeichel Jr., the son of legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Schmeichel, guards the goal for them.

The number one defensive midfielder of the modern era, N'Golo Kante, has shown amazing strength.

Gokhan Inler is a Swiss star who has been working hard in Serie A for many years and has played against Su Changwei many times.

Jamie Vardy is a late blooming counterattack knife and a local efficient shooter.

Algeria's new -generation king king and the Premier League second only to Azar's extraordinarily king, Liad Machus.

Coupled with Albrighton, Morgan, Huth, Okazaki Shinji, Fox, Drinkwater and other powerful players, coupled with the support of home fans, Blue Fox coach Ranieri is confident to create a little success for Manchester United. Small obstacles.

Then... he saw player No. 70, who had been recovering at home two days ago, started directly in this game!

Italy's eyes are dark:

"You are trying to smash my little broken pot!"

"Can't you take a good rest for two more days?"

"Don't underestimate the flu, you bastard!"
