future king

Back in the domestic arena, with the goals of Li Yu and Welbeck, Manchester United defeated Norwich 2-0 at home. The Red Devils won 19 consecutive league victories at home, which also set a new record for the club.Ancelotti was happy with the record after the game, despite being a bit disappointed with the process.

"You can't say we played well today, but we never give up and that's a valuable quality. We've had a fantastic home record since last season. We only got it against West Bromwich Albion last season. One point, otherwise it would be a truly fantastic record. We are unbeaten at home since we lost to Chelsea in April 1 and I hope that will continue."

"Lindegaard hasn't played for two weeks and it's a good chance. Mata has a minor injury and it's not worth the risk because we're playing Liverpool in two weeks. But I think he's on par with Spain. The game was fine, he just couldn't play today."

"In the second half, we had Park Ji-sung closer to the center and Nani moved to the left, allowing Valencia to play more forwards on the right. We were much better in the second half, with more pace and better control of the game, but It's still hard to create chances in the game because they're so deep. Everyone defends in the box and two midfielders stand in front of the back line. I've seen them play a lot before and it's very, very difficult Defeated and today's game showed that."

"Norwich just ducked in the box and played long balls and they also got some chances on the counter-attack and caused us a lot of trouble. In fact, they probably created chances on every counter-attack. That put us in a big position. Under pressure. Norwich's counter-attack could hurt us."

"Valencia had a bit of a sloppy possession and Pilkington got the ball and it was an unbelievably good chance for them. You don't expect Anderson to head in and after that Norwich still Given the chance, it was an exciting game. I just felt like we needed to hold the ball up front, and in this game, Peas didn't get the space they normally play, and Welbeck improved a lot when he came on. "

Phil Jones, who performed very well in this campaign, said, "This is a difficult game. Norwich came prepared, which made it difficult for us to open the situation, but we showed the signs of the championship today and scored at the last moment. Two goals. It's an important win for us. As a champion, the fans always expect you to give your best every week, but we know that's not the case in football and today's game proved it That. I'm really enjoying what I'm doing at the moment."

At the top of the standings, Manchester United's home game against the newly promoted Norwich was originally considered to be a game without any suspense.

However, the persevering "Canary" put up layers of iron barrels, which made it difficult for Manchester United to find a way to break through the opponent's goal for nearly 70 minutes.Fortunately, with the two goals of Anderson and Welbeck, Manchester United struggled to get a valuable three points at home. In the standings, they still beat their rivals in the same city with a goal difference advantage and occupied the top position. [

In this game, Manchester United sent the ace striker combination of Li Yujia and Xiaopea. Hernandez entered the game just after returning from injury, which shows Ancelotti's trust in them.An Shuai said before the game that Manchester United's No. 9 and No. 14 will become the most powerful partners after the "Black Wind Shuangsha" in 99.

Therefore, the fans naturally have higher expectations for this game, and a "killing operation" against the "Canary" seems inevitable.However, things backfired. Although the two main forwards worked very hard on the field, they did not create too many threatening opportunities.On the contrary, Norwich, who insisted on defending and counterattacking, threatened the gate guarded by Lindegard many times, and taught Manchester United's defenders a lesson.

It wasn't until the 64th minute that Ancelotti, who had seen the team unable to attack for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and made adjustments: Giggs replaced Nani, who was not at his best, and Welbeck replaced Hernandez, who was not performing well.

Facts have proved that Ancelotti's personnel replacement played a miraculous effect: after only 4 minutes, Giggs took a corner kick, Manchester United made two header relays in the penalty area, and finally Manchester United's No. 9 headed the net from close range. Break the deadlock on the court, and at the same time stabilize the morale of the whole team.In the 87th minute, Manchester United continued to pass and cut from the right side of the front court. After Valencia received the pass from Park Ji-sung, he handed it to Welbeck outside the penalty area.The England teenager immediately passed to the Korean who advanced forward, and at the same time, he also nimbly entered the hinterland of the penalty area.Park Ji-sung made a pass to the center, and Welbeck easily scored the goal, completing the third league goal of the season and helping the team completely seal the victory.

He came off the bench to kill the game, and the performance of England's post-90s striker was well received: in the "Sky Sports" score, he scored 7 points, tied for second in the team.Manchester United's official website stated that the local striker's performance has attracted attention and provided a fresh element for the offensive end. The England team going to Montenegro must have a place.

Yes, before the start of this season, no one thought that Welbeck, who returned on loan, would be in such a good state.Xiaopea, who was firmly occupying the main position, may feel a little chill: Welbeck, who scored 6 goals in the last 5 games for Manchester United, has completely surpassed the Mexican who scored 7 goals in 2 games. , who dares to say that No. 19 must be the "Millennium Substitute"?

Judging from Welbeck's performance in many games, his ability to play the ball and the awareness of grabbing points are not lost to competitors at the front line. His strong body allows him to obtain a favorable position in the penalty area, which is very suitable as a bridgehead at the forefront. Create murder.Four of Welbeck's five goals came against Tottenham, Arsenal and Basel in the Champions League.It can be seen from this that Welbeck's ability will be better played in the big scene, and this young player will not have stage fright.

What is even more commendable is that Ancelotti, who is also taking care of cultivating local young talents in England, is more continuing the tradition of Manchester United, but what he gains is likely to be a future leader.

Before the end of the game, after Li Yu, who performed poorly in this field, received a precise long pass from Giggs, he did not pass the ball to Welbeck, who was in a better position, but tried a rubbing shot, and the ball was slightly higher. The crossbar lost an excellent chance to score.

Seeing this scene, Welbeck waved his hands vigorously to express his dissatisfaction with the big brother of the striker, showing his domineering arrogance.How can Ancelotti not love such a player who is eager to make contributions?If Phil Jones, who was born in 92, is a rough jade that is "naturally uncarved", then Danny Welbeck in 90 is a shining black pearl.

However, the media also pointed out that Li Yu still lacked a sense of dominance on the field, and even his teammates directly expressed their dissatisfaction. The time for Li Yu to become the real core of Manchester United will have to continue.

On the national match day, Li Yu did not go back to participate in the Huaxia Hong Kong team's match. It seems that under the arrangement of the Swedish coach, Li Yu will not be called back to the national team in many warm-up matches and Asian qualifiers.

The outside world believes that this is Eriksson's intentional adaptation of the existing lineup. After all, in world-wide competitions, relying on Li Yu's performance alone cannot guarantee that the Huaxia Hong Kong team will defeat the traditional strong teams.

This kind of running-in is necessary. Sometimes it is enough to recall Li Yu and maintain a certain tacit understanding!

Eriksson's doing this of course made Manchester United very happy. The core role of Manchester United's No. 9 is really crucial. It is definitely a good thing to be able to participate in national team games less and reduce the possibility of affecting the player's state. [

Last season, Ferguson tasted the sweetness of this aspect. Li Yu, who has been healthy all season, guaranteed Manchester United's final good results.

This season, this rule was verified in the next double red meeting with Liverpool.

Unite as one, get out!Manchester United, which has already suffered three consecutive defeats at Anfield, relied on Manchester United's No. 9 Li Yu as a substitute savior to avoid another embarrassment against their arch-enemy.

Judging from the starting list made by Ancelotti, Manchester United has already put the focus of the England derby on the midfield fight and solid defense.As the captain, the left-back Evra led Manchester United to defend the most important position with practical actions.

Shortly after the opening, the Liverpool people obviously focused their attack on the Frenchman with "ulterior motives": In the 3rd minute, Liverpool cooperated quickly on the right side of the frontcourt, Gerrard tried to break through and made a pass, Evra struggled to tackle the ball Bottom line: In the 12th minute, Tang Ning swung the ball from the right side, hoping to take advantage of his speed to overwhelm Evra, but the Frenchman pretended to stretch his legs to defend Tang Ning, but the latter fell to the ground and flopped.At this time, Evra immediately signaled the opponent's behavior to the referee with his hand, and made a "diving" gesture.At the end of the half, Evra and Ashley Young double-teamed Suarez who broke through from the right.Although Ashley Young received a yellow card for a foul, but at the same time defuse a very threatening attack.

In the second half, Evra's "spiritual power" as the captain of Manchester United was on full display: in the 58th minute, Suarez kicked the Frenchman's knee in the fight, and the latter fell to the ground in pain while clutching his knee. No yellow card was shown to the Uruguayan.Unexpectedly, Evra, who went to the sidelines for treatment with anger, heard some Liverpool fans booing him, and immediately kissed the Manchester United team emblem towards the stands of diehard Liverpool fans!

The Frenchman, who was already unpopular on the field, was immediately booed more violently by more than 4 Liverpool fans, which made the smell of gunpowder on the field even stronger.In the 64th minute, during Liverpool's set-piece, the pair of "old enemies" had physical contact again. After both were warned by the referee, "Baoyasu" touched the head of "Black Whirlwind" provocatively.Evra, who is nearly six years older than the Uruguayan, immediately used his arm to fend off the opponent and gave a counterattack, showing no sign of weakness.Subsequently, Evra received a yellow card for complaining too much to the referee about the previous opponent's foul.

After the game, Evra revealed that he was emotional because Suarez scolded him with racially discriminatory words.

"Daily Mail" revealed that Suarez called Evra a nigger. Evra said, "I am very annoying. It's 2011. You shouldn't have this kind of thing. Suarez knows what he said What it was, the referee was clear about it, and I don't want to repeat it, but it was a racist word and he said it more than 10 times. He tried to mess with me, I wasn't too affected, but it was very upsetting and disappointing." The latest news is that the FA is already investigating the matter.

"Sky Sports" gave Evra the team's highest 7 points after the game, thinking that he "did a good job of defending against the boos of Liverpool fans."Manchester United's official website commented on him as "undoubtedly the best game of the season, and he was fully prepared for it. The opening tackle on Gerrard won the goal kick and stopped De Gea's chest. The ball is also very safe. The assist to Jones is very good cross, but at the same time he got a yellow card for the dispute with Suarez and Dirk."

However, opt's post-match data showed that Evra's performance was not so perfect, and even slightly worse: 7 clearances, 1 threatening pass, and 1 tackle.However, only 32 of the 19 passes were in place, and the pass success rate was 594%.There were 12 successful passes in the frontcourt, and the success rate of the frontcourt passes was only 571%.There were as many as 19 conceded goals in the game, and 4 counterattacks were successful after conceding the ball.

It can be seen that the strong contrast between the embarrassing game data and the unruly on the field has been reflected to the greatest extent in the captain of Manchester United.This can't help but remind people of Gary Neville, the old Manchester United captain who has just retired and also hates Liverpool.The Manchester United legend has never concealed his dislike for Liverpool: "I can't stand Liverpool, I can't stand Liverpool people, I can't stand anything about them."

In the last few years at Manchester United, Neville's state declined rapidly and he was completely incapable of playing the main position.Now that this year has passed, Evra, who no longer has dominant strength, has become an indisputable fact that his state is declining day by day.It's just that his encouragement to young players and his game experience on the field were very important to Ferguson's team at the time.

Before the game, Evra said in an interview with "Sky Sports" that he hoped that the Manchester United team could unite to meet the game: "We must defend with all our strength, become closer, and not give the opponent too many opportunities. Although I only have At 30, it feels like the oldest player here. I want to show the younger players that I'm still here and eager to play every game."

It is worth mentioning that Evra took an advertisement for the gaming company before the game, beating Ashley Young and Mata to win the football bowling. I don’t know if this kind of relaxation made him recover in time. state.

Using the phrase "a man is not old at heart" to describe today's French left-backs is really perfect.Although he is not British, he attaches as much importance to the "National Derby" as any English player, even Liverpool.

Former Manchester United No. 10 Wayne Rooney declared that his whole family is Everton fans, and he hated Liverpool since he was a child.And Liverpool captain Gerrard even said in his autobiography: "In 90 minutes of the game, I hope Manchester United will die." Obviously, the hatred between the clubs can be described as "unforgettable".

So it is not difficult for people to understand why Ferguson was so "outraged" when Heinze decided to leave Manchester United in 07 and expressed his hope to join Liverpool.

In this game, Manchester United was able to retreat from Anfield. In addition to Li Yu's goal, there is another player who contributed.

The devastating performance at the beginning of the season made Manchester United's attackers win widespread praise. At the same time, De Gea, who joined with a high profile under the aura of "Van der Sar's successor", suffered miserably due to several low-level mistakes during the adaptation period. became the focus of media attacks.

But as the season progresses, De Gea has completely torn off the label of "parallel imports" with his dominant performance, and his role in the team has become more and more obvious. In the battle against Chelsea, De Gea used two Record world-class saves to help the team hold on to the victory. Against Stoke City, which has a strong style of play, De Gea made 4 saves in front of the goal to help the team keep the unbeaten gold. De Gea once again saved the team with his miraculous performance. In the words of Manchester United's official website, De Gea's few highlight moments are completely life-and-death rescue for Manchester United.

In the 34th minute, Charlie Adam carried Phil Jones and ran all the way to the penalty area for a long-range shot. The ball hit Evans' feet and turned back to Suarez's feet. Suarez calmly dunked Evans who returned to the defense. Falling to the ground and shooting, De Gea blocked subconsciously, blocking the Uruguayan striker's must-go goal.

Although at first glance, De Gea was able to block this shot, largely due to the fact that Suarez's shot angle was too straight, but with Evans half blocking his sight, he was able to make such a quick shot. The reaction, and chose the most reasonable defensive position in advance, did not show De Gea's excellent goalkeeping talent.

In the 82nd minute, De Gea once again completed the impossible task. Downing made a cross from the left, and the far point man defended from the edge of the small penalty area, and the ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. After chasing back in time, he jumped up before the ball was about to fly into the goal, and blocked the ball with a single palm.There was astonishment and remorse written all over his face, as if he couldn't believe that this kind of ball could be saved.

The game entered the final stoppage time stage, and Liverpool's young player Henderson, who came off the bench, had the opportunity to make the final decision and become the hero of Anfield.He received a pass from Suarez and volleyed vigorously from 20 yards away from the goal. The ball went straight to the back corner of the goal with an obvious drop. De Gea stood slightly forward, and the ball was about to hang into him The goal behind him, but the Spanish prodigy started to retreat the moment Henderson kicked out, and in the process of fast pursuit, he flew the ball out of the bottom line with his ape arms, and tried his best to protect the team from the hard-won draw.
