Chapter 469

The two results of the game on the same day brought the two Manchester teams back to the same starting line.

After the game, a reporter asked about Ancelotti's deal to sell Gibson (Everton's goal hero) to Toffees. Anshuai smiled slyly: "It's all part of the plan."

Apart from joking, the courage to catch up with Manchester City in the league after setbacks this season is really admirable.This is a team that has just been eliminated by old rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup. It is a team that has been swept by Blue Moon 6-1 in the league. It makes people wonder whether Anshuai's time at Old Trafford is over. Manchester United.

But in the stumbling, they won 8 games in the past ten games, and their points are not inferior to Manchester City, which was flourishing in the early stage of the league.

Stoke City, who is a guest this time, is good at playing high-altitude balls.Originally, Lindegaard was injured before the game and could not participate, which already made the fans sweat for De Gea, who was struggling to defend against the high ball; but the Spanish goalkeeper was unwell during the training session on the same day and left the training base. On the 21-year-old teenager Amos.

Can the Red Devils defender, who was tortured by high center Carroll in the FA Cup just now, be able to withstand the potter who is playing high?As a result, three points were nothing more than routine.

Stoke City is Manchester United's point boy, and it has been around for a long time.

Since the Potters were promoted to the Premier League, they have only scored one point in eight meetings with the Red Devils.

In 4 league games in 3 seasons, Stoke City only broke the gate of Manchester United 19 times, conceding [-] goals.Even Tony Pulis hasn't changed that. [

The Potters can make Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams suffer a lot, but Ancelotti's Manchester United is the only one that can't do anything.

There seems to be an air of mystery hanging over the potters over the city of Manchester.After being promoted to the Super League for four years, he visited Manchester eight times as a guest, but all lost to his opponents-whether it was Manchester United or Manchester City.

Worried about de Gea and Amos' high-altitude balls proving redundant, Stoke don't have much in the Theater of Dreams

Decent offense.Amos caught a Pennant cross early in the game and saved a Jerome header, but none of them really threatened the goal.In addition, the young goalkeeper does everything.Such a potter, even with Kuzzak, who is no longer trusted by Sir Alex, may have no opponents.

The 37-year-old Scholes has fully reproduced the ginger head before retiring.He is a rare master in the Premier League who can control the rhythm of the game by passing the ball alone. He even repeated the reckless two-legged shovel that was famous in his peak period, so he received a yellow card.

Everything looks so familiar, so beautiful.He and Carrick completely controlled the operation of the football, and Valencia and Park Ji-sung were the biggest beneficiaries on both sides. They received a wonderful pass and broke through the wing, making the slightly sluggish defensive speed of the potter miserable.

Double penalty, this is the result of the referee's light judgment.

From the very beginning, it was a matter of time before a goal was scored.The Red Devils had an overwhelming advantage in passing and controlling the ball, and An Shuai also sat in his seat with a rare expression, preparing for another routine victory in Dream Theater.

The Potters' tactics are not new, hoarding tall and strong defensive players to block the goal in the backcourt, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Ancelotti's response was a quick break from both flanks, so the game became a game of cat and mouse between the smaller speed players and the taller defenders.If it weren't for the referee Mike Jones' soft whistle, the home team should have won 4 penalties, which proved that Pulis's tactic was completely dead at Old Trafford.

In the opening 26 minutes, Manchester United had a chance to break the deadlock.Evra made a breakthrough in the penalty area and was knocked down by White Hedra. Before the whistle sounded, the game continued; but soon after the Potters ran out of luck, Park Ji-sung broke into the penalty area and was dragged down by Pennant. This time Jones pointed to the penalty spot. Hernandez, who had just returned from injury, did it overnight.

After changing sides, it was Valencia's turn to create a penalty kick. He was knocked to the ground by Stoke forward Walters - the latter used his physical advantage to force Carragher to get a penalty in the game against Liverpool - This time the opportunity was given to Li Yu, and Manchester United's No. 9 team had a thrill and locked the score at 9-2.

In the 71st minute, the unlucky Evra scored twice for a "suspected penalty kick". Unfortunately, he still did not win Jones' sympathy, and fell down in the penalty area and was again watched by the referee.

Manchester United were knocked out by Liverpool in the FA Cup last Saturday.However, the spirit of the team that debuted at the Dream Theater on Tuesday was completely different, playing "calmly" and "confidently", Anshuai commented.They passed almost four times as many passes as their opponents in the game, monopolizing the potters.This is still a Manchester United with double-digit number of injured players. Goalkeeper Amos and striker Pogba each completed their league debuts, and their experience is slightly immature.

It is by no means a miracle to reverse Manchester City according to the current situation. [

After playing Stoke City, it is great news to tie Manchester City in points.But after the game, Ancelotti released more good news, "There are still wounded who start training in the middle of the week and will return to the game soon, and Cleverley is two weeks later; Mata can come back this week. Training with the team on Monday and Tuesday. When these players come back, they have enough options in midfield for any situation."

Before this round of the league, Manchester United's first team injured 11 people, which is the club with the most injuries in the Premier League.Ferdinand had just stabilized the back line after his comeback, Lindegaard and De Gea hung up the exemption card at the same time, the injury list continued to break new highs, and the 12-man injury camp was enough for any Premier League coach to drink a pot.

If the young Manchester United in this season's change of blood reversed Manchester City to win the championship, looking back on the entire season, the smartest move may be Scholes' re-emergence.Both Fletcher and Cleverley missed most of the season, which put a strain on Manchester United's midfield.Once Scholes comes back to ease the pressure of the intensive winter schedule, and when Cleverley, the hopeful star, returns to the game, it will be enough to deal with the two-line battle of the Europa League and the league.

Tottenham assistant coach Joe Jordan, who played for Manchester United for four years, has his own views on the Premier League championship. The pinnacle is difficult for both teams.

In recent years, the Premier League championship has been basically monopolized by Manchester United and Chelsea, and they know how to win this trophy better.

Especially Manchester United, they have received a lot of doubts this year, but there is no doubt that they have very good players, and more importantly, they know how to strike from behind and catch up from behind.

Manchester City, the arch-rival in the same city, defeated the powerful Fulham 3-0 cleanly at home under the ice and snow. The Premier League leader Manchester City finally had a little counterattack after experiencing the recent big landslide. Italian Marshal Mancini I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and watch the fierce battle between Chelsea and Manchester United one day later with a relatively relaxed mood.

"The important thing is that we won and regained the initiative to win the championship. After taking off this crucial 3 points, the pressure is on the Manchester United side." Adam Johnson, the hero of this game, said.

However, despite the great victory, Manchester City coach Mancini's mood is not getting better at all. The reason is nothing else, precisely because his disciples "disobeyed discipline" again.News from the "Daily Star" disclosed that Manchester City players launched a mutiny against the Italians in the dressing room!

"Daily Star" used the word "mutny (rebellion)" to describe the scene that happened at that time, and wrote bluntly: "The rebellion faced by Mancini may make Manchester City out of the track of the championship. (robertomnnsfngrevoltthtoulerlmnhesterty'sttlehnes)" the newspaper said that the cause of the incident was a charity friendly match: in order to raise funds for the genoa floods, mancini agreed to lead his team to italy to form a team with sampdoria and genoa United team for a friendly match.

At such a critical period of the league championship, the distraction of the crucial charity game has aroused great dissatisfaction among all the veteran players and coaches in the Manchester City team.

As we all know, the Italian marshal Mancini has a strong background in Samp. His Manchester City Legion originally wanted to lead a group of fringe players and young players from the youth team to form a "no-name team". In this way, the Manchester City team, including Mancini, was at a loss for a while: You must know that this game was scheduled for 4 days before Manchester City's away game against Villa!

In 4 days, he traveled across half of the European Mediterranean and returned to Manchester to be a guest at Aston Villa. Such exhausting travel will definitely affect Manchester City's championship plans. Mancini's move caused strong dissatisfaction in the dressing room!

"The faces of the players are all pale, and even the coaches are very disappointed and unhappy. Our team is already short of major generals due to injuries and the Africa Cup of Nations, and now we have to fly to Italy to play something Charity game!" revealed a Manchester City official. "Some players expressed their views and expressed their concerns, but they found that all protests were futile because Mancini did not communicate with them at all. A member of the coaching staff has directly decided not to Will go to Italy to play."

The neighbors are noisy, and Manchester United are preparing for a big battle with Chelsea.

Just as the two teams met in the first leg at Old Trafford, this game was also full of drama.Chelsea took a 50-3 lead after 0 minutes and just when most thought the Blues would have an easy revenge, United took over the next game with two controversial goals from Li Yu. A penalty and Hernandez's header equalized the score.

From 3 to 0 to 3 to 3, what happened during this period?It can be said that it was Ancelotti's substitution that became the winner of the game. Ancelotti used Hernandez to replace the newly injured Mata in the 53rd minute of the game, and the Mexican striker did not Live up to the coach's expectations of him.

After Hernandez came on the field, he had a chemical reaction with Welbeck and Li Yu immediately.

In the 67th minute, Li Yu and Hernandez hit the wall in front of the Chelsea penalty area, but Li Yu's shot was too positive and was confiscated by Cech; in the 68th minute, Li Yu passed the ball, and Hernandez turned around from the edge of the penalty area The referee Webber judged Ivanovic for tripping Welbeck, and Li Yu then scored a penalty.

In the 74th minute, Romeu made a pass error, and Hernandez passed David Luiz's low shot in the restricted area after receiving the pass from Giggs, and the ball went wide of the far corner; in the 84th minute, Hernandez finally Waiting for his own goal, Valencia made a breakthrough from the right and made a pass. Li Yu's strong shot was saved by Petr Cech. Giggs took the ball from the left side of the penalty area and then made a pass. Hernandez headed the ball from the small penalty area. break down.

This is a typical "Hernandez-style" goal. When Giggs took the ball, "Little Pea" was originally behind David Luiz who was defending him. Leaping up to score the ball, helping Manchester United tenaciously equalize the score, while the Chelsea central defender combination of Gary Cahill and David Luiz, worth a total of 3200 million pounds, has a top, and the other is not tight. Become the best foil for Hernandez's scoring screen.

After the game, Ancelotti was also very grateful for his substitution that determined the outcome of the game. He said in an interview with "Sky Sports": "To be honest, maybe I should have put Hernandez in the first place. When he came on, it was like putting the Chelsea players on the oven. He put a lot of pressure on them with his running and movement. Welbeck has been very good and he will definitely be in the future. To be a top player, but when Hernandez came on in the second half, the whole game was different."

Playing 37 minutes, taking 2 shots, 1 shot on target and scoring 1 goal, Hernandez explained what is called a "super substitute" with his efficient performance.In the one-hour scoring session after the game of "Sky Sports", Hernandez, who came off the bench, scored 7 points and tied for the third highest score in the team. With a high score of 3, the comment sent by "News" is: "His excellent running made David Luiz lose his way and scored a representative header."

After experiencing a fantastic debut season, Hernandez's performance this season has not met people's expectations. The Mexican striker seems to be facing the trouble of "second-year syndrome", but Ancelotti is not concerned about this. Don't worry, he said in an interview before: "Hernandez has encountered injury problems this season, but his current training state is very good. It is always good to have more choices in the forward position. ...If Hernandez can hit the ground running, it will help us a lot."

To Ancelotti's relief, Hernandez did it. After breaking his scoring drought for more than two months with a penalty kick in the last round against Stoke City, Egypt Fernandez scored another goal in this game, and the number of goals in the league has also risen to 2. Unknowingly, he has surpassed Welbeck to become the team's second shooter in the league after Li Yu. His recovery will definitely give Manchester United provided a lot of help on the road to the championship.

Although only 23 years old, the young Hernandez has a "big heart" and can often score goals that turn the tide in the final stages of the game.

According to statistics, among the 21 league goals scored by Hernandez in two seasons, 10 goals occurred in the last 16 minutes of the game, accounting for nearly half of the total number of goals (48%). This ratio is the highest among the major shooters in the Premier League.

We have witnessed the miracle of "Little Pea" twice this season. In addition to the header in this game, it was Hernandez who scored 1st in Manchester United's 1-81 away draw with Liverpool. A goal in the minute helped United escape from Anfield.

Pea is also the only player in the Premier League so far this season who has scored goals in both an away game at Anfield and an away game at Stamford Bridge.It seems that the nickname "New Solskjaer" given to him by Manchester United fans is very appropriate, but Hernandez needs to continue to work hard if he wants to truly take over the mantle of his predecessors. In these two key battles of Tottenham, the "God Bean" will continue to be tested.

Although it has been less than two years since he came to the Premier League, Hernandez seems to have a special "destiny" with Chelsea. In the Mexican's first season in the Premier League, Hernandez broke through Chelsea's gate three times, including In the 3th round of the season, the lightning goal that directly determined the ownership of the championship was also unlucky for David Luiz.

Will Hernandez's golden header play the same role in United's title bid this season?Time will give us the answer.

It is worth mentioning that this game is the third time in history that Manchester United have at least tied the score and remained unbeaten after falling behind by three goals since the establishment of the Premier League.

The first two times occurred in the away game against Sheffield Wednesday in the 92-93 season and against Tottenham in the 01-02 season. Twenty years ago, when the Red Devils fell behind Sheffield Wednesday 20-0 in the away game, they scored three consecutive goals in the second half and tied their opponents unbelievably.Against Tottenham, the Red Devils reversed and won the opponent with the goals of Cole, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Blanco, Veron and Beckham. Beckham also scored his own goal in the game. 3th goal in the Premier League.

Counting today's game, all 11 goals recovered were scored in the second half of the game!Ferguson's training and scheduling at halftime contributed a lot.

After this game, Manchester United continues to chase Real Madrid in the away record rankings of the Europa League.

In the last 12 Premier League away games, the Red Devils have achieved 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. They lead all the teams with 27 points away. ) to add a full 6 points, which shows the background of the strong team.At present, in this standings, the leader in Europe is Real Madrid, with a record of 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, which is slightly better than Manchester United.And Juventus, the away king of Serie A, only scored 20 points.

After the draw with Chelsea, the English derby between the Red Devils and Liverpool is approaching. Former Red Army star Hansen recently said that "Manchester United have performed very badly in the past [-] months", and said that he could not remember the last time Manchester United had two consecutive matches. When did such a poor performance last season.

In this regard, Ancelotti responded firmly: "Hansen's role is a commentator, and he needs to be responsible for his words. He said these words before our game against Liverpool. I can understand it. It doesn't matter to me... Don't forget, Manchester United won the title last season with a nine-point advantage, we reached the final of the Champions League and won the final, we were not as bad as he said."

If Hansen still remembers that Ferguson's "92 Golden Generation" was once jokingly referred to as the "Hansen Generation", then he should pay more attention to his wording in BB's "Match Day" program to avoid being the laughing stock of the world.
