The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 59
Manchester United's subsequent journey in the league also made more and more Manchester United fans realize the importance of Dabao to Manchester United, because during Dabao's suspension, although Manchester United still won more and lost less in the league, no matter Whether it was the process of the game or the result of the game, the strength displayed by Manchester United was not so reassuring.

In the 1st round of the Premier League on January 1, Manchester United visited DW Stadium to challenge Wigan Athletic.

In the end, with Hernandez's brace and goals from Robin van Persie and Smalling, Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic 4-0 away from home, further consolidating their advantage in the standings.

However, in the 22nd round, Manchester United ushered in its second defeat in the league.

Manchester United at home lost to Liverpool at Old Trafford with a score of 1 to 2. In the second round of the deeply grudged Double Red Club, Liverpool also managed to come back.

In this round, Manchester City, which was also playing away from home, won the game.

They beat Arsenal 2-0 away.

In this way, the gap between Manchester City and Manchester United in the standings has narrowed to 10 points.

Manchester City's pursuit of points has not stopped.

On January 1, the 20rd round of the Premier League kicked off.

Manchester United visited Tottenham and played against Tottenham away from home. In the end, the two sides shook hands and drew 1-1.

In this round, Manchester City defeated Fulham 2-0 at home.

With all three points in this round, the gap between the two sides in the standings has become single digits, and Manchester United is still 8 points ahead of their opponents.

It's May 1th.

In the 24th round of the Premier League, this is the 7th league game that Dabao has suspended.

Manchester United, sitting at home, ushered in this round of opponents-Southampton.

At the beginning of the game, the opponent gave Manchester United a blow. In just 3 minutes, Southampton knocked on Manchester United's goal.

But fortunately for Manchester United fans, it was just a near miss.

In the end, with Rooney's goals in the 9th and 21st minutes, Manchester United narrowly beat Southampton 2-1 at home, thus stopping their decline.

The good news for Manchester United is that Manchester City, which has been chasing closely behind them, also lost the chain this round. The point difference became 0 points again.

And Manchester City's chain loss does not seem to be over yet.

The time has come to February 2, and the 3 games of the 25th round of the Premier League have started as scheduled.

Manchester United was a guest at Craven Farm Stadium, and finally very lucky in the 80th minute with Rooney's goal, thus beating the home team Fulham with a score of 1-0, and successfully got three points.

In another strong dialogue, Manchester City played against Liverpool at home, Manchester City did not have such good luck.

Liverpool, which has a deep grievance with Manchester United, finally helped Manchester United with its own efforts. This has to admit that it is a bit ironic.

In this game, both sides finally showed a high-level game to all fans.

Both the process and the result of the game were very anxious. Dzeko first helped Manchester City take the lead in the 23rd minute of the game, and then in the 31st minute of the game, Sturridge stepped forward to help Liverpool equalize the score. Then the game entered a stalemate.

Until the 73rd minute of the game, Gerrard's goal helped Liverpool take the lead.

However, the Liverpool people hadn't had time to be happy for too long. Just 6 minutes later, that is, in the 79th minute of the game, Aguero's goal equalized the score on the field.

And this goal is also the last goal of the game. In the final battle of focus, the two sides shook hands with a score of 2 to 2, and this result is the most beneficial for Manchester United.

The point difference between Manchester United and Manchester City in the league standings has once again reached 12 points.

But when the league reached the 26th round.

Manchester United ushered in another defeat.

Manchester United, who returned to their home court, welcomed their opponent in the 26th round, Everton Toffees, at Old Trafford, but ultimately lost to Everton 0-1.

But fortunately, this same round was originally a good opportunity to chase points, but Manchester City failed to seize it. Manchester City shook hands with Southampton 1-1 in the away game. After this round of the league, England Many media have criticized Mancini, and the Sun even asserted that Mancini will be fired after this season.

Manchester City's performance this season has been unsatisfactory in both European and domestic competitions.

The aura brought by the league championship last season was also exhausted by this season's record.

For Manchester United, this round of the league is over, and they will also usher in a crucial game. It is precisely because of this game that Ferguson will make a substantial adjustment to the lineup in this round of the league. Rotation, which is also the main reason for the final loss to Everton.

This game is the first round of the upcoming Champions League knockout round.

Manchester United will travel to the Bernabeu Stadium in Spain to challenge Real Madrid on February 2.

This game is also a focus of this round of the Champions League knockout round. Facing his old club, whether Ronaldo can break through Real Madrid and enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League, this away game is very important .

The huge advantage in the league may be Manchester United's most advantageous. Compared with the huge advantage Manchester United has gained in the league, Real Madrid's performance in La Liga this season has not been able to satisfy Real Madrid fans. In the past 19 rounds of the league, Real Madrid has only achieved a record of 11 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses and 37 points. It is currently ranked third in the La Liga standings. Behind Real Madrid are Barcelona with 3 points and Atletico Madrid with 55 points.

Coupled with the discord between head coach Mourinho and team captain Casillas this season, Mourinho's life in Real Madrid this season is also very sad, and he is also far behind the top two in the league. , it can be said that judging from the current 18-point gap behind Barcelona, ​​the league championship this season is basically hopeless, so for Mourinho, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League have become his last life-saving straw to ensure Real Madrid's coaching position.

The time finally came to the afternoon of February 2, and the Manchester United team arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium under the leadership of Ferguson.

This game is very important for the head coaches of both sides.

A huge advantage has been gained in the league, which makes Ferguson very hopeful that in the last season of his career, he can end his career with the honor of a double crown.

And among them is the Champions League, a gold-rich trophy. I believe this is a temptation that no head coach can refuse.
