Chapter 49: Forward in twists and turns

   Manchester United failed to end in a victory in the last match of 2014, quite an anticlimactic feeling, and they also failed to win in the first match of 2015.

   On January 1, Manchester United ushered in the third game in six days, and also the first game of the second half of the Premier League this season, at the Britannia Stadium to challenge the city of Stoke in the sky.

Because Manchester United’s next game is the third round of the FA Cup against League One deputy squad leader Yeovil. Although it is only three days later, Ye Su has no plans to put too much effort into the FA Cup. , So in this game, Ye Su basically sent the strongest lineup in his hands.

   Ye Su is very hoping to win Sky City. After all, this is an opponent that Manchester United likes very much. The two teams have only lost one game in the last 15 encounters, which is the away game last season. The remaining 14 games have 13 wins and 1 tie. Stoke City has only won twice at home against Manchester United in the past 30 years.

   However, Manchester United, who played all the main players, had a nightmare start at the Britannia Stadium.

   Stoke City, who played at home, launched an attack at the beginning and quickly won a corner kick. In the 2nd minute, Anautovic took a right corner kick, and then the undefended Crouch flew the header from 14 yards. The undefended Shawcross scored with a right foot volley from 5 yards. Manchester United 0 : 1 Stoke City.

  Sky City gave Manchester United a disarm, and also let Ye Su see the horror of the sky city bombing.

   After half of this season's Stoke City, they ranked 11th in the Premier League. The result is 7 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses, with 25 points, which looks very inconspicuous.

   However, they are well-deserved giant killers. They beat Blue Moon Manchester City 1:0 at the Etihad Stadium, beat Tottenham 2:1 at the White Hart Lane Stadium, and defeated Arsenal 3:2 at home. In the game at Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United also did not win easily, only narrowly winning 2:1.

  ………………

   Manchester United, who fell behind, immediately launched a counterattack and created some opportunities, but they were a little far away from the goal. It was Stoke who almost used a counterattack to break Manchester United's goal again. In the 19th minute, Diouf grabbed the ball from Evans and then passed Evans into the penalty area, but he shot with his left foot.

   However, in the 26th minute of the game, Manchester United also retaliated by retaliating. Rooney took a left corner kick, and Carrick headed the ball before the point. Vardy blocked the ball with his left foot from 5 yards and Manchester United equalized the score.

   Manchester United continued to suppress Stoke City with strength advantages, while Stoke City responded to Manchester United's offensive with tough confrontations and even rough moves. Under such circumstances, the smell of gunpowder on the court gradually increased.

In the 42nd minute, Begovic took the ball and had a terrifying kick in front of Rooney. This made Lu Xiaopang very dissatisfied. He went up and argued with Begovic. Shawcross hurriedly separated the two and avoided one. conflict.

   In the second half, Manchester United continued to suppress Stoke City on the scene, threatening Stoke City's goal many times. Stoke City also threatened Manchester United's goal with long passes and high-altitude bombing.

At the end of the game, as Januzhai made a pass from the left, Rooney flew the header. Bruno Fernandez, who was unguarded in the back, was saved by Stoke City on the goal line. Manchester United was unable to reverse Stoke City after all. .

  ………………

   This is the third consecutive away game for Manchester United to fail to win. Manchester United suffered three consecutive away games. The points only rose by 1 point to 47 points.

   However, after the end of this round, people were surprised to find that Manchester United had risen to the top of the Premier League table, because Chelsea was defeated by Bai Lily 5:3 in a London derby and had the second defeat of the season.

   Not only did Chelsea take the top spot by Manchester United, they were even tied for points by Manchester City. In this round, the blue moon of the black cat Sunderland was beaten 3:2 at the Etihad Stadium, and the points also reached 46 points. In addition, the record of both teams is 14 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, scoring 44 goals and conceding 19 goals. In addition, in the fifth round of the game at the Etihad Stadium, the two teams also played a 1:1 tie. The record is exactly the same, Chelsea only ranked second in the Premier League standings with the advantage of the initials of the team.

In another strong dialogue this round, or a direct dialogue for the fourth place in the Premier League, Arsenal lost to St. Mary's Stadium and was defeated by the Saints by a score of 2:0, losing by six points. Battle, but also lost the opportunity to enter the semi-finals.

   In fact, the situation in the Premier League this season is very clear, at least the situation for the championship is very clear. Manchester United, who scored 47 points in 20 rounds of league, and Chelsea and Manchester City, who also scored 46 points, will compete for the Premier League championship, and the rest of the teams have fallen behind early in the championship.

And Ye Su, who is very likely to win the Premier League’s best coach of the month for the third time this season, has already disappeared from the top of the Sky Sports coach’s ranking list, and Mourinho, Pellegrini and others At the end of the list, he became one of the most unlikely coaches out of the 20 Premier League coaches.

  ………………

   On January 4th, Manchester United moved south to Somerset and played in the third round of the FA Cup this season.

   Manchester United’s opponent is Yeovil, the deputy squad leader of England’s third tier.

   Ye Su continued to play this game with a full bench.

   Although Yeovil and Milton Keynes, who eliminated Manchester United in the League Cup, are both League One teams, the situation of the two teams is completely different. Milton Keynes is the Champions League team, while Yeovil is the bottom team. The biggest goal is to relegation.

   Of course, Yeovil doesn't mind playing better if he has the opportunity to play against a super giant like Manchester United. It's not that I want to beat Manchester United upset, but I want to draw Manchester United at home, and then go to Old Trafford to play a make-up match.

   For these big teams in the Premier League, they will routinely give away the ticket revenue to their opponents in their games against low-level teams, which can be regarded as helping the weak.

   For Yeovil, who is not doing well these days, playing a game at Old Trafford would mean millions of pounds in income. This money is only a trivial matter for the super giants Manchester United, but it is enough for them to introduce a few good players, which may play a vital role in the team's relegation career.

   However, even if it was Manchester United who played on the bench, Yeovil did not have any chance at home. Manchester United scored 2:0 and was smashed cleanly. Professor Young and Valencia performed well in this game, each scoring a goal.

   This is a strong dialogue. Manchester United, who is second in the standings (Chelsea competes first in this round and overtakes Manchester United after winning), is playing against Southampton who is fourth in the standings.

   But perhaps this kind of longer break caused the main players of Manchester United to disrupt the rhythm of the previous game, and they seemed a little out of state after the game started. Southampton is taking advantage of the home court to frequently launch an offensive towards Manchester United's goal.

   However, before Southampton had time to turn its advantage into a victory, it was hit first.

   In the 18th minute, Ordwild broke the siege without pressure and sprained his thigh. He immediately signaled that he could not hold on, and Southampton was forced to make an early personnel adjustment.

   After half an hour in the first half of the game, the Manchester United players' game state finally improved, and the deadlock on the court was quickly broken.

   In the 38th minute, Manchester United counterattacked and won a 3-on-3 chance in the frontcourt. Bruno Fernandez made a cross from the right rib in the penalty area, and the ball bypassed the goalkeeper while also bypassing the Southampton defender, finding Vardy on the left.

   Despite a good shot chance, Vardy still selflessly passed the ball to Rooney, who was in a better position. Then Lu Xiaopang was on the small penalty zone line, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com easily pushed the empty goal and succeeded in rewriting the score on the court to 1:0.

   Three minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback, and it was Rooney's turn to retaliate. Rooney broke through the center and scored a 14-yard left-footed shot from the left side of the undefended Vardy. The ball quickly rushed into the Southampton net. 2:0, Manchester United scored two goals in three minutes to expand the score.

   In the 49th minute, Prause took a right corner kick and Pellet made a header from 10 yards, slightly wide of the goal.

   Manchester United immediately returned to the color. In the 53rd minute, Rooney dropped a free kick into the penalty area. Maguire header from 8 yards, the ball flew out of the baseline against the crossbar.

   Maguire has a high winning rate in the header fight, which allows him to get a lot of shots. But so far, he has only scored one goal, and his efficiency is a bit worrying.

In the 69th minute, Southampton made a long pass from the backcourt. Pellet gave Tadic a pass. Tadic went straight ahead of the penalty area. Pellet pushed with his right foot from 8 yards on his right rib. The ball bounced back on the right post and Tadi Odd left-footed shot from 14 yards to score an empty goal, Southampton pulled back one city.

   But Manchester United exceeded the score again in the 78th minute. Vardy made a pass from the left, Foster didn't hit the ball far, and De Bruyne made a right-footed shot from 7 yards after the goal. Manchester United 3:1 Southampton, almost sealed the victory.

   1 minute later, Manchester United almost scored the fourth goal of the game. De Bruyne made a pass from the left, and the unguarded Mata blocked the shot with his left foot from 6 yards, and unexpectedly set off the anti-aircraft gun!
