future king

Manchester United will usher in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage against Romania Galati Steel at Old Trafford.Manchester United currently ranks second in the group with 4 points. Facing an opponent who had won 5-2 away in the last round, Ancelotti's team cannot afford to lose.

In an interview with Manchester United's official website, An Shuai said: "We have to win on Wednesday, there is no doubt about it. I hope the team wins so that we can get 8 points. I don't think there will be too many changes in the main lineup, maybe two rotations. Three, but never too many."

According to the "Daily Mail", Mata and Smalling truce due to injuries, and the teenager Cleverley, who just came back at the weekend, has an ankle discomfort and will also miss the game.The right back Rafael, who was sidelined due to shoulder surgery in August, has participated in the team's joint training, but his physical condition has not met the requirements of the game, and he will not play either.In view of the current situation of the team full of wounded soldiers, Ferguson is likely to make fine adjustments to the lineup.

Ancelotti also made a prediction on the qualifying situation of this group. He said: "I think Benfica will beat Basel again at home. Basel coach Fink left the team for Hamburg. This is a huge blow to them. The team is currently demoralized. If we and Benfica can win this round, then when we face Benfica at home, we can take our destiny into our own hands and decide the top of the group."

For Manchester United, the team must appear as the first in the group, so as to avoid encountering Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayern and other strong teams in the knockout round.Ancelotti also thinks so, "The first in the group is better than the second. We must beat Galati Steel at home so that we can have a chance to fight for the top spot in the group."

In the last round of the Champions League away game against Galati Steel 2-0, substitute goalkeeper Lindegaard accidentally replaced De Gea in the start and tried to keep the goal.The Dane has represented Manchester United in 3 games this season, and his performance is remarkable.

Lindegaard joined Manchester United from the Norwegian Alesund team in November last year. Now it has been a full year. Lindegaard said that he enjoys life at Manchester United.

In an interview with Manchester United, Lindegaard said: "Playing for Manchester United is a great honor and I am very happy to be part of the team. I have always been a Manchester United fan, joining Manchester United is like a dream come true, I am enjoying it Every day at Manchester United. It is a challenge for me to come from a small club to a big club like Manchester United. I have to learn anytime and anywhere to gain experience. Although the first few months were not easy, I now It feels like every minute of my time at Manchester United has improved in all aspects, it has been a great year and I can look back on it with pride and joy."

Midfielder Park Ji-sung, who played well in the game against Everton, also believes that the team has come out of the shadow of the derby defeat.Park Ji-sung said in an interview with the "Daily Mail": "It is very important for us to get rid of the haze of the derby defeat. In the history of Manchester United, there have been many precedents for coming from behind. The head coach asked us to maintain confidence at all times. The players We must approach every game with the courage and determination to win."[

After the game against Everton, Manchester United will also usher in the best November schedule in history, including 11 home games and 5 away game.Park Ji-sung is also optimistic about the future of the team, "We must improve in every next game, and I hope the team can continue to maintain a good momentum."

Park Ji-sung hopes the team can get back on track, but the mood of the fans is not so easy to recover.After the disastrous defeat to Manchester City at home, the painful Manchester United fans turned their anger on the team owner, the American Glazer brothers. They besieged the team owner and even smashed Glazer's car in anger.

Afterwards, Glazer did not make too many remarks to defend himself. However, unexpectedly, Arsenal boss Stan Kroenke stepped forward to fight for Glazer. He believed that fans should not complain too much about the Glazer brothers. In an interview with The Sun, he said: "The Glazers have won trophies and also greatly increased the team's profits. If I were a Manchester United fan, I would marvel at the achievements of the team owners. They have done what they can't do anymore. alright!"

Get back on track!Relying on 4 goals against Romania Galati Steel in two rounds, Manchester United finally overwhelmed Benfica with a goal difference advantage and won the top spot in the group standings.The two consecutive draws at the beginning of the Champions League once made Ferguson's team fall into doubts. Fortunately, a timely "appetizer" made the English giants show their "devil's fangs" again.As a right-back in this game, Phil Jones, who has played 10 times for Manchester United in a row, tore his opponent to pieces with his perfect performance.

The England teenager, eager for victory, started the offensive and defensive rhythm like a tiger hunting for food throughout the game: In the 8th minute, Phil Jones put in an assist from the right side of the frontcourt, and a precise cross bypassed the opponent's entire defense line. Irving's pretense created conditions for Valencia, who was ambushing at the back, and the latter shot and scored; in the 15th minute, Jones tried to advance from the right, but Li Yu's pass flew out of the baseline.

In the 24th minute, Li Yu got the ball in the middle and gave it to Jones in front. The latter used a light pick to pass the opponent's defender and then made a pass, but the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper; Ready to counterattack quickly, Manchester United's No. 61, who firmly held his position at the arc of the middle circle, fought tenaciously and successfully held off his opponent.

In the 63rd minute, Phil Jones made a precise cross from the right, Xiaopea headed the ball high, and more than 7 fans in the audience applauded Jones frantically; in the 77th minute, the Romanian team wanted to cooperate on the left, and it was Jones again Resolve the danger - he ran to the defensive area at high speed, gained the upper hand in speed, blocked the ball in advance to protect the ball and caused the opponent's foul.

After the game, "Sky Sports" scored a team-high 7 points for Phil Jones, who was constantly highlighted and contributed an assist.

The data from opt showed that Jones had 1 shot blocked and 2 threatening passes in this game.Another 5 crosses were made, of which 3 were effective crosses, which were the most in the team.On the defensive end, he completed 3 tackles, 7 clearances, and 3 one-on-ones, with 2 successes.What is even more amazing is that the England defender ran a distance of 10027 meters in this game, which is comparable to that of midfielders.This shows the great contribution he has made to the team - not only has a powerful performance on the field, but also conveys a "Red Devils spirit" of tenacity and hard work.

Ferguson bought Phil Jones at a high price this season, and his successor Ancelotti also gave young people a lot of opportunities. Facts have proved that Jones is indeed the most exciting superstar in Manchester United and even in European football.

Excellent physical fitness, good offensive and defensive awareness, delicate skills at the feet, courage to dare to confront...he has all the conditions required for a top defender.

Jones' teammate, the young player Smalling from England, once told the media: "His (Jones) style of play is very direct, he has a strong header ability, and his ball-handling skills are also very good. Even in training, he also He can always give a beautiful pass, this is his talent.” Indeed, Jones’ performance on the court definitely proved what Smalling said was true: in the 79th minute, Phil Jones was about to make a clearance in the penalty area, and Gallas Zhu Erjiu, a player of the Citian Iron and Steel Team, flew to fight for the header, and the two collided heavily.However, what is unexpected is that the Manchester United right back who was knocked down from behind immediately stood up, as if nothing had happened.The Romanian who took the initiative to charge did not feel so good: he fell to the ground in pain and did not recover until the team doctor arrived to treat him.Phil Jones' terrifying physical fitness can be seen from this.

Both offense and defense are good, with a mature mentality.Now Jones, who is only 19 years old, can be described as "young and mature", exuding an irresistible general style.

This year's strong contender for the "European Golden Boy Award" allows people to see in him the shadow of Beckham and Gary Neville, the "golden combination" of the wingers in the past: the domineering right wing, but also There is a precise pass like a "full moon scimitar".

Such a strength beyond his age, thanks to Ferguson's insight and insight, Ancelotti helped the young man quickly integrate into the team. [

Jones once revealed some transfer details to the media: "I received a call from Ferguson. He invited me to join Manchester United. We talked for more than an hour. No matter who you ask, they will say, if Manchester United knocks on your door, you There's no way to say no, even though I've been a Blackburn fan since I was a kid. Signing for Manchester United was a numb feeling. Playing for the biggest club in the world like Manchester United, you have to prove yourself. At first, I was very quiet in the dressing room. After getting to know my teammates, I also tell some jokes."

Of course, Ferguson, who personally brought the future superstar to the Theater of Dreams, also said: "Two years ago, Phil Jones represented the Blackburn youth team and beat the Manchester United youth team 3-0. He performed very well in the game. I played Called Allardyce, and he said Phil Jones was the best young player he had ever seen. Since then, I have been following him until he was signed." Sir, this time was also "premeditated".

After all, a peerless talent like Phil Jones may only be comparable to the late Duncan Edwards.

Since Scholes retired, Manchester United's midfield has been lacking a master figure.Ancelotti tried to solve it through signings, and Mata's arrival did just that.

However, An Shuai did not forget to tap the potential of the home team, and did not choose to introduce Sneijder, who has a high public opinion.However, in the derby with Manchester City, the Manchester United midfielder suffered a crushing defeat in the contest with the opponent. The offense lacked inspiration and the defense did not have hardness.There is still some time before the start of winter transfers. What tricks does Ancelotti have to solve the problem of weak midfield?The answer is Li Yu!

After playing as an avant-garde in the last round of the Premier League game against Everton, Li Yu continued to appear in the middle of the midfield to partner with Giggs in this round of the Champions League group match against Galati Steel.In this game, Scholes also appeared in the stands to pay attention to Manchester United's performance. In front of his seniors, Li Yu paid tribute to his seniors with a masterful performance, and at the same time told Ancelotti: I have done a good job of succeeding Coles' preparation.

In the 8th minute of the game, Li Yu made a long pass from the backcourt and directly found Berbatov on the right. The latter made the ball to Phil Jones who was plugging in. Manchester United No. 4 made a right pass and assisted Valencia to give Manchester United the lead.

In the 14th minute, Li Yu made a long pass from the center line to the right, but unfortunately the strength was slightly stronger; in the 21st minute, Li Yu took the ball with his back in front of the penalty area and then passed it to the right, creating a breakthrough opportunity for Phil Jones; in the 28th minute , and Manchester United's No. 9 directly found Valencia with a ecstasy long pass near the center circle. The latter cooperated with Phil Jones, and Jones' pass was blocked; in the 41st minute, Li Yu and Hernand Si hit the wall, Li Yu passed the ball directly to Xiaowandou without stopping the ball, but unfortunately the latter failed to dribble in the penalty area.

In the first half, Manchester United's No. 9 could be seen everywhere, and Li Yu's long pass was becoming more and more mature.

Before the start of the second half, the rebroadcast footage captured the exchange between Li Yu and Ryan Giggs.

Perhaps it was Giggs' instruction, Li Yu moved forward in the second half, and Li Yu played the midfielder position. In addition to connecting the team's offense, he also had to take into account the defense in the middle.

In the 50th minute, Ryan Giggs made a mistake in the backcourt and caused a dangerous situation. Fortunately, Li Yu fell to the ground in front of the penalty area in time to tackle the danger; It was given to Xiaopea, but unfortunately the latter turned around and shot too straight in front of the penalty area.

In the 67th minute, Li Yu made a wonderful long pass from the backcourt and directly found Hernandez near the penalty area. Unfortunately, the Mexican was blocked by his opponent and lost an excellent shot opportunity; in the 86th minute, Fresh Li Yu, who had a chance to shoot, took a long shot in front of the penalty area, and the ball hit the opponent's defender and refracted into the net.Li Yu didn't celebrate after scoring the goal, he didn't even smile, his face was full of exhaustion, and he just panted heavily. How can Li Yu, who is doing his best for the team like this, not be moved?

According to the post-match opt data, Li Yu made 3 shots and 2 shots on target, scoring 1 goal; contributed 2 threatening passes, and many wonderful long passes; 2 one-on-ones, 1 success; End 2 tackles, 1 clearance.In this game, Li Yu ran a distance of 13644 meters, which is a statistic that even a top midfielder would be ashamed of.In Sky Sports' post-match ratings, Li Yu also scored 7 points, tied for the highest score in the game. Manchester United's official website gave Li Yu the evaluation: "Playing the role of 'quarterback' on the court, Li Yu connected the whole team together. The attacking and defending of the team, keeping the ball running smoothly, playing in the midfield and scoring the team's second goal before the end of the game."

In an interview with "Sky Sports" after the game, Li Yu said that he didn't mind playing in midfield. He said: "When I was in the youth team, I often played in midfield, which means you have to take more balls. You have to defend with all your strength. I said before that no matter where I am on the pitch, I feel good. I’m not talking big. I can play in midfield. If the coach puts me in the midfield, yes. No problem for me."

Ancelotti also praised Li Yu's performance after the game: "I think Li Yu's performance in the midfield is too good. He is very aware of the situation around him when protecting the ball, and he passes the ball impeccably. The midfield is just a temporary arrangement, I am not sure whether he will be fixed in this position in the future, but I am very confident that I will give him the heavy responsibility of the midfield when fighting against strong teams."

Ancelotti has consciously withdrawn Li Yu's position in recent games, hoping to use Li Yu to solve the current problems in Manchester United's midfield. Li Yu's outstanding performance in this game can also reassure Ancelotti.

Manchester United defeated Galati Steel 2-0 at home, and Benfica was tied 1-1 by Basel at home. In this way, with the advantage of goal difference, Manchester United boarded the top seat of the group.After the game, Ancelotti believed that this was a key three-pointer to lay the foundation for qualifying from the group.

In an interview with Sky Sports HD 2, Ancelotti said, "Winning is important. The opponents are very aggressive, they defend well, they press us in all areas of the pitch and that makes us feel good. Very difficult."

"This win puts us at the top of the group and if we beat Benfica at home next time we'll be top of the group, it's as simple as that. It should be a very good night."

"I think Li Yu has been fantastic in the central midfield position. He can see where his teammates are and make very, very good passing choices. He did a very good job for us tonight. I think letting him play The central midfielder is a stopgap measure, the future is hard to tell. Carrick and Cleverley are injured, Fletcher is rested, we can start with Park Ji-sung, but there is an important game waiting for him in the Premier League on Saturday. The opponent played well tonight, but I'm sure Li Yu will still be considered in this position when playing against stronger opponents."

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Irving was injured and left the field in a goal grab and was replaced by Xiaopea.Ancelotti said after the game, "It was a blow to him, it was a complete accident. His thigh muscle was injured, it is difficult to say how long he will be out."

Manchester United has returned to the top position in the Champions League. The old tradition of the Red Devils getting closer to the end of the year continues. Ancelotti's team has also found a suitable rhythm after a disastrous defeat. The Red Devils have recently become very Stability, whether in the team or on the field.

The Italian coaching style has been slowly infused into the blood of the Red Devils, and the tenacious combat power retained in the Ferguson era has also been well preserved.

It is conceivable that such a red devil will only become stronger and will never be immersed!
