Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 409: Eight consecutive Premier League wins! Manchester United and Barcelona!
"Congratulations on your first hat trick in your career. And it was done in such an important match as the Red Devils Derby. How do you feel now?"

As the best player of the game, Ling Feng was already familiar with the post-match interview.

However, this was his first time to be interviewed after a game while holding the game ball.

Facing the reporter's questions, Ling Feng also smiled:

"First of all, helping the team win is what makes me happiest. I have said since the first day I joined that I came here for victory and the championship!"

"As for the hat trick, I didn't think too much about it. Because I am a midfielder and I prefer to assist my teammates rather than score goals myself."

"Of course, it is very important for me to be able to complete my first hat trick in my career. I want to thank my teammates who fought alongside me, as well as the coaches on the sidelines and the fans in the stands. Without them, we would not have taken away the precious three points from Anfield, as well as the match ball."

"Zlatan? Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, he is a bit difficult to get along with. But in my opinion, he is a very friendly big brother, a legend in football! I learned a lot from him. Of course, I am very grateful that he gave me the penalty kick."

"It was definitely a very exciting and very difficult game. Liverpool prepared very well and gave us a lot of trouble."

While Ling Feng was being interviewed, Mourinho, dressed in an Armani trench coat, suddenly broke into the camera, hugged Ling Feng, and said to the camera seriously:

"This kid is an incredible genius!"

"He's so awesome!"

“The whole world should know this!”

After saying that, Mourinho kissed Ling Feng on the head and then left quickly.

The whole process fully reflects Mourinho's personal character.

Unruly and unrestrained, I do my own thing!
Ling Feng just smiled, smoothed his slightly messy black hair, and then said to the reporter:
"What a funny man, isn't he?"

This short episode quickly attracted the attention of Manchester United fans after it was broadcast, and its number of views on YouTube soared like a rocket.

The team's head coach and the team's star player seem so close and cooperative, which is enough to show the good atmosphere of the team.

This made Manchester United fans and supporters feel very relieved.

The next day, gossip tabloids such as Manchester Evening News, Daily Mail, The Times and The Sun all reported on this ups and downs of the Red Devils derby.

And the covers of almost all media newspapers were photos of Ling Feng standing at Anfield and making a silent celebration gesture!
"Anfield, shut up!"

"Silence is Anfield tonight"

"In the derby, the Red Devils had the last laugh again."

Ling Feng, who scored the first hat-trick of his career to defeat Liverpool, naturally became the absolute protagonist of this game.

In addition to goals, his statistics are also very impressive:
Four key passes in the whole game!

He dribbled past the defense nine times in the whole game, eight of which were successful!
Five shots and three goals scored!
Manchester United fans all believed that if it weren’t for Ling Feng, they would never have escaped unscathed, or even gotten three points.

All of a sudden, a large number of fans flocked to Ling Feng’s social media and expressed their love crazily under his tweets.

Manchester United legends also came out to show their presence and praised the Red Devils hero:

"This is the fucking Red Devils!" - Gary Neville
"With Manchester United's form, with Lingfeng's form, I finally have a feeling that we can win the championship this year! And that's great!" - Ferdinand

"This is a perfect performance by Ling Feng!" - Scholes

As the top fan of Lineker, he immediately tweeted:

"Manchester United supporters, thank us! You only spent 90 million pounds to buy the future Ballon d'Or winner!"

For Manchester United, defeating Liverpool in the Red Devils derby is definitely something worth popping champagne for!
This means they have defeated their arch-rival once again!
This is also Manchester United's fifth consecutive victory against Liverpool in the league!
Winning eight consecutive games at the start of the Premier League is a great achievement.

However, this does not mean that they can relax for the time being.

Because they will play three games in the next nine days.

Moreover, the opponents in every game are very strong!
Two days later, they first headed to Camp Nou to challenge La Liga giants Barcelona in the Champions League group stage;

Next, back in the domestic league, they will go to Stamford Bridge to face the strong contender for the championship, the Blues Chelsea.

Finally, they will have to play a League Cup version of the Manchester derby with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

If we include the Red Devils derby that just ended, within ten days, the Red Devils Manchester United will play against Liverpool, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Manchester City in succession!

Every game is a tough battle!

The English Football Association's devilish schedule was also criticized by Mourinho at the post-match press conference:

"I've been coaching in the Premier League for over six seasons and I don't know why every time I schedule a game, it happens like this!"

"The Premier League team just finished playing a game in the league, and less than 48 hours later, they will have to play the second game. And it is a Champions League level game!"

"I think this is a huge test for the team's preparations and the players!"

"A useless competition like the League Cup should have been cancelled long ago!"

Mourinho is such a person.

Say anything!
Of course, such criticism is of no use to the English Football Association.

Of course, the problem of tight schedule is something that every top club faces every day.

The only way to counter it is to increase the depth of the bench as much as possible!

The ability to cope with multi-line operations through reasonable rotation is also a skill that every top coach must possess.

Since the team will go to Camp Nou to challenge La Liga giants Barcelona in two days, they must arrive in Barcelona the night before.

In other words, they actually had less than forty-eight hours of rest time.

Even so, Mourinho gave the players half a day off the day after Liverpool's game, after a short tactical training.

He went into the office alone, watched Barcelona's games over and over again, and made the next tactical plan.

After just fighting with Liverpool for 90 minutes, they now have to face Barcelona, ​​which has the strongest trident in football. This is extremely difficult.

Should we continue to fight Barcelona with all our main players, or should we rotate certain positions?

This is a key issue Mourinho must consider.

And everyone, including Mourinho, knows how important this game is to him!

This is his return to Camp Nou after four years, and it is also a good opportunity for him to take revenge on Barcelona again.

Last time, he was the helmsman of the Galaxy Battleship. This time, he is the savior of the Red Devils Manchester United!

Mourinho's personal relationship with Barcelona is a well-known secret.

As a little translator for Barcelona head coach, Mourinho once loved Barcelona deeply.

Barcelona is his white moonlight, but the kind that looks down on him.

That year, after Rijkaard was sacked in 2008, Mourinho even prepared a CD containing several GB of information and wanted to apply for the position of Barcelona head coach.

In the end, Barcelona ignored him and chose the fledgling Guardiola.

Since then, he is no longer the little translator in Barcelona, ​​but a madman who runs wildly and celebrates passionately in Camp Nou!

Mourinho and Guardiola, who had a good personal relationship, also turned against each other and became fierce rivals.

In addition to the personal love-hate relationship between Mourinho and Barcelona, ​​the feud between Manchester United and Barcelona is also a topic that fans talk about with relish.

The feud between the two sides can be traced back to the 1984 European Cup Winners' Cup.

That year, Ferguson had not yet taken over Manchester United, and Barcelona still had Maradona.

Of course, the times are too long ago, and what people remember more is the repeated confrontations between Ferguson and Barcelona in the past two decades!
In the 1990-91 season, under the leadership of Ferguson, Manchester United returned to the European Cup final after 23 years.

And their opponent is Barcelona!
Ferguson vs Cruyff!

In the end, under the drizzle of Rotterdam, Manchester United defeated the star-studded Dream Team Barcelona 2-1 and won the European Cup Winners' Cup.
Three years later, the two sides met again in the Champions League group stage. One game ended in a 2-2 draw and the other ended in a 4-0 draw, allowing the Dream Team Barcelona to beat Manchester United and advance as the group leader.

However, there has never been an eternal king in football!
In the following years, Cruyff's resignation led to the quiet disintegration of the Dream Team Barcelona.

Ferguson, with the help of the children of Class 92, has created a new world!
In the 9899 season, the two sides met again in the Champions League group stage.

Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Manchester United, Brondby!
It is worth mentioning that in this group known as the "most terrifying death group in the history of the Champions League", the opponent of the final was born!
The old rivals Manchester United and Barcelona staged two goal-scoring battles in the group stage that delighted the fans.

Among them, the famous scenes of Beckham scoring a super crescent moon goal, then sliding on his knees and failing at Old Trafford, and Rivaldo's back-heel goal to equalize the score are also firmly engraved in the hearts of fans of both sides.

In the end, Manchester United overcame all obstacles and reached the final, and staged a well-known comeback, becoming the first team in England to win the Treble!
And this farewell happened ten years later!

When the time came to 2008, both teams had changed a lot.

Barcelona's Dream II peak has passed, and the new coach Guardiola and Barcelona's new king Messi have joined forces to create a new Dream III red and blue dynasty;
And Manchester United, under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, established the third generation of Red Devils and dominated England!

C Ronaldo and Messi!

The first showdown between these two heroes of the new era was at Camp Nou on April 2008, 4!
However, the slightly immature duo did not perform too well in the competition.

Instead, it was Scholes's flying kick that helped Manchester United reach the Champions League final again after nine years, and beat Chelsea in the penalty shootout to win the Champions League!

From 2008 to 2011, Manchester United and Barcelona were undoubtedly the two best teams in Europe.

Manchester United has reached the Champions League final three times in four years; Barcelona has reached the Champions League semi-finals for four consecutive years.

In the second match between the two in the 2009 Champions League final, Ronaldo was defeated by Messi and felt the helplessness of losing the Golden Ball to Messi for the first time.

Two years later, Ferguson's Manchester United once again reached the Champions League final and once again faced Guardiola's Barcelona.

However, Ferguson, who is already at the end of his career, once again felt the same powerlessness he had two years ago.

Facing the invincible Barcelona, ​​which was known as the "Universe Team" at the time, Manchester United simply did not have much ability to fight back.

It is worth mentioning that in the final moments of the game, the live camera was also aimed at Ferguson, who was chewing gum with his fists trembling slightly.

This famous scene also allowed the world to witness the helplessness and unwillingness in the heart of the Red Devils Godfather.

Since then, the story between Manchester United and Barcelona has come to an end.

until today!

As time goes by, with Sir Alex Ferguson retiring and Guardiola moving to the Bundesliga, the situations of Manchester United and Barcelona are also different.

Today, under the leadership of Messi, Barcelona is still among the top European giants.

Manchester United, which had been silent for three years, has ushered in the dawn of revival.
. . .

On October 10, the entire Manchester United team boarded a special plane from Manchester to Barcelona, ​​Spain.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United will challenge Barcelona away.

This game is destined to attract everyone's attention.

For Manchester United, who have performed strongly this season, they naturally want more.

In addition to challenging for the league title, they also hope to regain their competitiveness on the Champions League stage.

They hope to let all the European giants know that the Red Devils who once dominated the European continent are back!

For Ling Feng, the match against Barcelona is simply a dream come true.

Barcelona is definitely one of the strongest teams in football today.

And they also have the strongest trident in football, "MSN"

This was his first match against Messi and also his first time competing against MSN.

Ling Feng knows very well that if he wants to reach the top of the football world, he must defeat the strong people who stand in his way!
Iniesta, Suarez, Neymar
And Messi!

The competition with the world's strongest always makes people excited.

However, no one is optimistic that Manchester United can get away with it unscathed at Camp Nou!

In the first two rounds, Manchester United won one and drew one, accumulating four points and ranking second.

Barcelona won both games, accumulated six points and ranked first.

If Manchester United can win this game, they will be able to temporarily overtake Barcelona and rank first in the group.

However, this matchup is very unfavorable for Manchester United.

Three days ago, Barcelona defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 at home, and the team's main lineup also got some rest time.

Judging from the match lineup, even with a large number of signings this summer, there is still a clear gap between Manchester United's main lineup and Barcelona.

In the pre-match predictions, more than 80% of the media and professional journalists believed that Barcelona, ​​playing at home, would give Manchester United a head-on blow!
