Chapter 97 Nightmare
Entering September, Dabao applied with the team early to report to the Welsh national team.

On September 9, the entire Wales team came to Muradost Stadium.

At six o'clock in the evening, the World Cup European qualifiers between Wales and Macedonia started on time at this stadium.

Dabao was extremely excited in this game. It can be said that he vented all his energy on Macedonia. In the end, with Dabao's two goals and assist Bell's goal in the final stage of the second half, Wales defeated 3-1. Macedonia, thus taking all three points, maintained the pressure on Belgium in front.

At the end of the other two games, the good news for Wales is that Croatia failed to score three points in this round. They shook hands with Serbia 1-1 in the away game, while Belgium continued their good form and won 2 in the away game. Defeated Scotland 0-[-].

After this round, Belgium led Wales by 7 points after playing one more round than Wales. Croatia also played one more round than Wales, but because of the two rounds, Croatia only achieved a record of one draw and one loss. , so in the case of an extra round, Croatia fell behind by 4 points.

After the match against Macedonia, the Welsh team returned to the country and immediately started preparations for the next round.

Soon the time came to September 9, and Wales, who returned to the country, ushered in the eighth round of the World Cup European Qualifiers at home. The opponent was Serbia, which is currently ranked fourth in this group.

In the end, after 90 minutes of confrontation, Wales narrowly defeated Serbia 2-1, winning again and scoring three points.

This three-pointer also allowed Wales to once again maintain a 4-point gap with Belgium.

Croatia is 7 points behind Wales.

At this time, Wales still has two rounds left in Group A. For Belgium, Wales and Croatia, which are currently ranked in the top three, Belgium has an absolute advantage, while Wales and Croatia both need to look at the faces of others.

The next round of matches will be held on October 10, when Croatia will face Belgium at home, while Wales will face Macedonia at home. This round is also regarded by many media reporters as the final decision for each team in this group. A time when the team's final fate is revealed.

For Wales, the most beneficial thing is to hope that Croatia can defeat or draw with Belgium. In that case, they will still have the opportunity to fight for the first place in the group to directly qualify, because in the final round, Wales will challenge Belgium away from home. But if Belgium wins the game against Croatia, then the fate of both Wales and Croatia will be determined. Belgium will get a direct qualifying spot, while Wales will go to the final knockout rounds, and Croatia will It means being eliminated.

After two rounds of competition, Dabao also returned to Manchester United.

Dabao's return did not cause any waves, but Manchester United encountered big trouble in the re-ignited Premier League.

In the third round of the Premier League on September 9, Manchester United lost 1-0 to Liverpool at Anfield. Moyes ushered in his first defeat at Manchester United.

But this is just the beginning for Manchester United.

After the national team's game ended, the Premier League also reignited the war.

On September 9th, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester United ranked seventh in the standings with one win, one draw and one loss at the start and accumulated 13 points. For many people, the opponent in this round is a game with clear strengths and weaknesses.

Manchester United host Crystal Palace.

In an interview before the game, Moyes was also very confident. In his opinion, the loss to Liverpool in the last game was just an accident. In this game back at home, the opponent was a team weaker than him. Obviously it will be a game that strengthens the players' confidence.

However, after the 90-minute game ended, Moyes stood on the sidelines with a very ugly face. Even when faced with the opponent's head coach's initiative to reach out, Moyes was stunned for a long time until the assistant coach on the side reminded him to react.

0 to 2, the home team is behind the visiting team.

Crystal Palace scored one goal in each half. Manchester United played haphazardly in this seemingly clear-cut game, especially the starting lineup of Carrick and Fellaini, Manchester United's double midfielder partnership in the new season. The cooperation between the two can be said to be frequent mistakes, especially Fellaini, who often loses his position during the game. All two goals of Crystal Palace were related to him.

After the game, Fellaini also got the lowest score of the game.

At this time, some Manchester United fans thought of the young man who appeared on the field last season. Dabao watched the game live. When Manchester United lost the second goal in the 73rd minute, Dabao turned off the TV.

In the post-match press conference, Moyes also took all the responsibility for the loss on himself, but it was obvious that the media reporters would not let him go because of this. These reporters had obviously forgotten how they praised Moyes a few days ago. Damn it.

Moyes fled the scene after hastily dealing with the reporters at the scene.

However, for Manchester United fans, the nightmare continues.

On September 9, the UEFA Champions League group stage of the new season kicked off. Manchester United ushered in the strongest opponent in this group, Bayer Leverkusen, at home in the first round.

The tens of thousands of fans in the stands also hope that Manchester United, which has just experienced a defeat in the league, can use the Champions League victory to remove the shadow that has shrouded itself.

However, the result left them very disappointed.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score on the big screen was very dazzling for Manchester United fans. 2 to 4, Manchester United was scored four goals by Leverkusen at their home court.

Shakhtar in the same group defeated Real Sociedad 2-0 away from home. As a result, after the first round, Manchester United, the defending champion, was ranked last in the group.

In the league, he fell to 10th with one win, one draw and two losses. Moyes was also very distressed. He didn't know what happened to the team. Everything was normal during training, but in the game, there would always be some inexplicable mistakes.

Not only Moyes can't understand it, but Manchester United fans don't understand it either.

Yet this is far from over.

After the end of the Champions League game, Manchester United had no time to rest, because the next fifth round of the Premier League will usher in a highlight, the Manchester derby.

Speaking of the Manchester derby, in fact, Manchester City did not start this season well. Although they won two games in the first four rounds, they also lost to Cardiff 2-3 in the away game. Manchester City is currently ranked in the fourth round. 6, while Manchester United ranked 10th.
