future king

Manchester United has entered the final critical moment. In the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Fulham at home. This is a game that must take all three points.

At Old Trafford at home, the Red Devils Manchester United had no reason to lose the three points they got.

The Red Devils beat their opponents with 2 goals at home, but Manchester United's No. 9 missed the goal.A magical performance by 4 people in a row, but made a wedding dress for others; an attempt to face an empty goal, and his teammates accidentally won an empty goal at their fingertips; but when he walked off the field in the 87th minute, Dream Theater 75339 But people stood up and gave him more than ten seconds of applause, paying tribute to the "uncrowned king" achieved in this game.

Li Yu doesn't care if he scores goals or not, what he wants is the league championship!

"Sky Sports" only used one phrase in the comment on Li Yu (9 points), the highest score in the game after the game - the best in the game. How many beautiful words to describe Manchester United's No. 9 strolling on the field today, it seems Somewhat redundant.

If it weren't for Fulham's central defender Hughes's not-so-successful header clearance in the 32nd minute, which denied Li Yu's empty goal and let the pie falling from the sky hit Valencia, the Portuguese would have Have the opportunity to complete his "goal + assist" double-double in the Premier League this season.

If half of Valencia's goal is due to luck and half to Li Yu's credit, then Rooney's goal in the 12th minute of the first half is mostly due to Li Yu's excellent foot skills.After receiving the ball in the middle, Manchester United's No. 9 first jumped over Murphy who was shoveling, and then evaded Etuhu with a dunk, facing the uphill central defender Hughes.

He cleverly cooperated with Anderson to kick the wall, and passed the ball to Rooney calmly before Baird made a grab. The only thing the Englishman needs to do is to calmly send the ball into the dead corner in front of the goal.Rather than saying that this goal is a manifestation of Rooney's composure in front of the goal, it is better to think of it as another Li Yu's goal-passing, passing, passing...single-handed, empty goal!

Fulham's right-back, Northern Ireland international Baird was blown out by Nani in the game. Manchester United's No. 9 even regarded his opponent as air, and never stuttered from passing through to crossing.

In the 26th minute, when Li Yu was marked by Baird in the penalty area, he passed the ball with his back and heels to Rooney behind him, and almost succeeded in sending the ball to his teammate.

Four minutes later, Li Yu received a long pass from Evra, used his explosive power to reach the bottom line, and faked Baird to pass back to Rooney. Unfortunately, he was cleared again.In the 4th minute, Li Yu rushed into the penalty area along the left, passed Baird twice in a row, and then the pass was interrupted.

The nightmare of the Northern Ireland defender did not end there. In the 54th minute of the second half, Li Yu received a through ball from Anderson near the left corner flag. After entering the penalty area, Li Yu easily sent the ball to Gibson, who was unmarked on the line of the penalty area, at the moment when the former had no choice but to take a shot. The latter's poor shot wasted a good opportunity.

After 10 minutes, Li Yu played for Gibson again, and the Irishman squandered the opportunity again.If it weren't for the inability of his teammates in front of the goal, Manchester United's No. 9 would definitely not end with only one assist after the end of the game.

Although Li Yu's performance this season has made Manchester United fans happy that the Red Devils in the "post-C Ronaldo era" still have no shortage of world-class wingers, but Li Yu's one-man show will always make people miss the coquettishness of the Red Devils flying on both wings in the past.

From Best Aston, to Beckham Giggs, to Ronaldo, it seems that the standard configuration of Manchester United's wing will always be dual-core drive.

But now, whether it is Park Ji-sung, Giggs or Obertin, it seems difficult to meet the perfect requirements of their predecessors in terms of age or personal ability.

Before February, it seemed that the problem could only be solved through signings.But now, Flash Valencia, who has been reborn from the ashes of the broken leg, has proved that he is fully capable of inserting another perfect magic wing for the Red Devils.

Following the 4-2 reversal of West Ham in the last round of the league and the contribution of the first assist of the season, Valencia scored the first goal after the comeback in this round against Fulham. The recent state of the Ecuadorian winger can be described as It is red and purple.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Li Yu received a long pass from Evra from the left and broke into the penalty area. Facing the attack, Schwarzer used the ball with his toes to complete the breakthrough, and then cut in from a small angle to shoot. Aaron Hughes A nod in front of the ball changed the trajectory of the ball, but Valencia on the other side had already outflanked it. Facing the empty goal, Valencia easily used his head to complete the second goal of the season after the Community Shield. A personal goal, and at the same time announced that the talented winger who turned out last season has completely stepped out of the shadow of a broken leg.

If Valencia's cameo as a center forward scored with a header is just a surprise for Manchester United fans, then the Ecuadorian's personal performance of frequently creating murderous intentions on the right has become the iconic performance of the Old Trafford Dream Theater one of them.

In the 25th minute, Valencia opened the prelude to riding a thousand miles alone with a wonderful pick-and-roll on the right. Then he played a two-for-one cooperation with his teammates, and then ran along the right for a long distance, killing the opponent in one breath. Defensive in the hinterland, facing the defensive players, Valencia completed the long-distance attack with Nani's iconic cut-in shot.

Although the ball was finally blocked by the defensive players, Valencia's wonderful personal show won the applause of the fans.Before the end of halftime, Valencia once again demonstrated his skillful foot skills. Facing the double-teaming of two defensive players, he used his speed to break through the gap between the two into the penalty area, and immediately Falling to the ground and making a low pass in the middle, Berbataba and Nani have already outflanked the ball, but it is a pity that Hughes took the first step to destroy the ball out of the bottom line.

In another battle, Valencia's attack on the right still made the Fulham players helpless. In the 48th minute, Schwarzer made a mistake in the backcourt. Valencia intercepted the ball smartly and launched a counterattack on the spot. .

Li Yu at the front point attracted two defensive players. Valencia calmly passed the ball diagonally to Anderson at the far end. The Brazilian teenager rashly chose to push the ball directly from outside the penalty area when he was completely unmarked. The near corner of the goal was blocked by Schwarzer without any suspense, and Valencia's wonderful pass was wasted.

In the 55th minute, Valencia sent another wonderful pass for Berbatov. He lightly flashed past Dempsey's interception on the edge of the penalty area, and then hit the middle of the penalty zone with a half-high ball. , Unfortunately, the ball deviated from the goal.

Opta's post-match statistics show that Valencia sent a game-high 73 threatening balls in 4 minutes of playing time, and "Sky Sports" also ranked Valencia in the post-match scoring. The second highest is 8 points.Valencia's outstanding performance conquered Old Trafford, and won the applause of the fans when he was replaced by Owen. Compared with the desolation of the golden boy of England in the past.

The thriving Valencia has undoubtedly become the new darling of Manchester United fans.In fact, since returning to the field on March 3, Valencia has entered the best form almost immediately, and quickly locked the team's main right winger position, after people questioned his recovery after breaking his leg. situation, but now it seems that that nightmarish experience did not affect Valencia's level at all, but made it more sharp like a quenched blade.

It is worth mentioning that after Valencia came back, he participated in all 6 games of Manchester United and helped the team achieve an impressive record of six victories, including the 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup and 1 -0 Lectra Chelsea's Champions League civil war, this can not help but sigh, if Valencia can come back earlier, then Manchester United's previous losing streak in the league to Chelsea and Liverpool may be rewritten.

And just six months ago, Valencia once thought his career was over. "That was the darkest moment of my career. When I heard the sound of a bone fracture, I even told myself that my career was over. I felt the fear deeply. Fortunately, the doctor told me that it was not over, and the team did not give up on me, and chose my return date very carefully, but I really can't wait to get back on the field." And When the passion that had been suppressed for six months burst out, Valencia interpreted the true meaning of "rebirth" to everyone with a near-perfect performance.

In the fierce competition for the season, Valencia, who has come back from the fire line, has become a powerful booster for Manchester United to hit the Triple Crown. As Ferguson said during the winter transfer period: "We don't need signings, because we have Valencia .”

2-0, Manchester United defeated the "away worm" Fulham without much effort, temporarily extending the team's lead over Arsenal to 10 points.Compared with the 4-2 reversal of West Ham in the last round of away games, Manchester United made 5 changes in this campaign.O'Shea, Anderson and Scholes, Nani and Li Yu, who returned from injury, replaced Fabio, Giggs, Carrick and Park Ji-sung respectively.

This season, in the leagues where Li Yu started, Manchester United's winning rate was 89%; in the leagues where Li Yu failed to start, Manchester United's winning rate was only 45%.Although Manchester United has only won 4 victory in the past 1 league encounters with Fulham, Fulham's away record is really bad.Since October 2003, Fulham have not won Manchester United away in the league.

After winning this campaign, Manchester United has achieved 12 consecutive victories at home in the league.

This season, Manchester United has played 16 home games in the league, with 15 wins, 1 draw, 42 goals and 9 losses, accumulating 46 points, with an average of 2.88 points per game. This league's home record surpassed Real Madrid and ranked first in Europe.How deterrent is Manchester United's home game to the visiting team?The last time Manchester United conceded a goal in the first half at home in a domestic competition was April 2010, 4.At that time, Joe Cole gave Chelsea the lead at the heel of Old Trafford, and finally helped Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-2 away, taking the initiative to win the championship.At present, Real Madrid, which ranks second in the home record in the European League, has 1 wins and 14 loss, scoring 1 goals and conceding 46 goals to accumulate 7 points, averaging 42 points per game.Barcelona, ​​which ranks third in the home record, has 2.8 wins, 14 draw and 1 loss at home in the league, scoring 1 goals and conceding 42 goals to accumulate 10 points, averaging 43 points per game.

In the midweek Champions League, Ferdinand returned from injury.In this campaign, Manchester United has O'Shea, Anderson and Brown come back.

After the game, Ferguson confirmed that Rafal, who had a knee injury, should be able to catch up with the second leg against Chelsea.

Not only that, Fletcher, who has been plagued by viral diseases since the beginning of March, is now in good physical condition. Ferguson confirmed that the 27-year-old Scottish captain is close to returning.Now, apart from Lindegard who underwent surgery, "The Glass Man" Hargreaves and Rooney who was suspended, there are almost no injuries in Manchester United's formation.

And luck is also on Manchester United's side.Although both Ferguson and Rooney were suspended for inappropriate remarks, objectively speaking, Manchester United's recent luck is quite good.

In the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of the week, Evra's foul action of tripping Ramirez in the penalty area was ignored by the referee; in this campaign, Rooney opened the door to victory for the Red Devils in only 12 minutes. But in slow motion, the goal was 100% offside first.

From escaping 100% of the penalty kicks to 100% offsides in the first scoring goal, Manchester United's good luck is still continuing. Maybe this is what Ferdinand said, everyone has a time to suffer and gain, but Manchester United is good. Luck just happened to appear in the closing stage.

From now to the end of the season, Manchester United will play at least 8 games, namely 6 rounds of the Premier League, 1 FA Cup semi-final and 1 Champions League quarter-final second leg; The FA Cup final, the Champions League two-leg semi-final and the final.Although Arsenal lost 12 rounds, Manchester United has expanded its lead over the Gunners to 2 points. For Arsenal, who played away on Sunday night Beijing time, there is no room for mistakes.

Manchester United's current Premier League points are 69 points, which is 82 points away from the 13 points that Ferguson said to win the championship. will be lost.

Analyzing Manchester United's schedule, in the last 6 rounds of the league, Manchester United played 3 home and 3 away games, with Newcastle, Arsenal and Blackburn on the road; Everton, Chelsea and Blackpool at home.

Among them, it is very difficult to play Newcastle away and Everton at home. Newcastle and Everton are now desperate; the home game against the relegation team Blackpool is a planned three-pointer.Arsenal now has 59 points, and there are 8 rounds left in the Gunners League. Theoretically speaking, the maximum points that can be obtained is 83 points. In the 8 rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal drew with Sunderland, West Brom and Blackburn respectively, and lost 3 points in 3 games!

In other words, in the last 6 rounds, even if Manchester United loses away to Arsenal and draws with Chelsea at home, as long as they win the other four games, there is at least a 9% chance that they will finally win the championship trophy.

The last time Manchester United won the treble was in the 1998-99 season.

At that time, in the summer of 1998, Manchester United spent a huge sum of 1260 million pounds to buy Dwight Yorke, spent 1500 million pounds to buy Stam, and spent 440 million pounds to buy Bromqvist.

As a result, the former two became the absolute main players. Yorke scored 18 goals in the Premier League in Manchester United's triple crown season, becoming the first foreign player to win the Premier League Golden Boot, scoring 30 goals in all competitions; The mainstay of defense, and Bromqvist also became a qualified substitute for Giggs and started in the Champions League final against Bayern.

Last summer, Manchester United only bought "Little Pea" Hernandez at a low price and bought a potential central defender Smalling with limited experience in the Premier League. This is completely incomparable with the signings in the summer of 1998 , but it is expected to achieve the triple crown again. I have to say that this is a miracle made by Sir Alex Ferguson.

The mid-week Champions League rekindled the battle, and the back-to-back quarter-rounds divided the "week" starting Tuesday into a two-tier "sandwich" schedule of the Champions League-League-Champions League.In the first round, each of the eight teams will win or lose.Returning to their respective leagues last weekend, among the eight teams, only miners missed the UFC, and the other seven teams all won, eating the league in the "sandwich" into fat meat.

In the Premier League, Manchester United beat Fulham 2-0 "at will (Ferguson)".Chelsea beat Wigan by 1 goal, somewhat diluting the frustration of being defeated by Manchester United at home before, and also accumulated morale for this Tuesday's return to defense.At White Hart Lane, Crouch, who was criticized by Lao Lei for his restlessness at the Bernabeu, scored two goals in a row to help the team narrowly beat Stoke City.Once the Champions League misses, Tottenham will still strive for the top four. This victory keeps them from falling behind in the league.

Because Manchester United drew Chelsea, and because Tottenham were bloodbathed by Real Madrid in the first leg, La Liga is likely to account for half of the Champions League semi-finals this season.

After two big victories last week, the two top teams in La Liga continued to advance in the league last Saturday. Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 as a guest, and Barcelona beat Almeria 3-1 at home.Before ushering in the very likely Champions League version of the "National Derby", the winning advantages of the two teams in the Champions League and the pace of progress in the league are very similar.As the most surprising result maker in the first round, Inter Milan and Schalke also won this round of the league. Among them, the victory of the Nerazzurri also wiped out the bad luck of the two-game losing streak in the Champions League.

The weekend just past was the half-time break of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. During this break period, the eight teams performed rotations to varying degrees. Manchester United once rotated 8 players, and Kaka came back to score... After eating the league "Minced Meat" takes a break, and "Second Half" continues this week!

The Premier League derby between Manchester United and Chelsea is still the focus of the quarterfinals.
