I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils
Chapter 55: The Only Seedling in the European War
Rooney, the captain, was very happy with the 4-goal victory over Tottenham. On the one hand, it is because the team temporarily leads Chelsea by 5 points in the standings, and on the other hand, he scored the 200th and 201st Premier League goals of his career in this game.
This is a milestone record!
In the 23 years since the establishment of the Premier League, apart from him, the only one who has scored more than 200 goals in the league is England's legendary striker Alan Shearer.
If it is said that in the past, the record created by Alan Shearer made juniors like him despair, but now he sees a glimmer of hope.
Because of Rooney this season, I feel better than ever!
He has scored 26 goals in just 29 rounds this season. If this trend continues, he will set a Premier League scoring record this season.
In fact, in the first 29 rounds of the Premier League, he only played 27 times, so his average efficiency almost reached 1 goal per game!
Now, he is 59 goals short of Alan Shearer's record. As long as he maintains this season's form for two more seasons, he has the hope of breaking Alan Shearer's record.
And he is still half a year away from turning 30. Rooney feels that there is no problem for him to maintain this state for another two years. After all, he will only be less than 32 years old by then.
Anyway, Rooney felt the happiest in the past year.
Under Ye Su's hands, he not only performed better than expected, but also got the center forward position he had dreamed of, and even became the captain of the team.
There is nothing more perfect than this!
If you really want to find a more perfect result, it is like what Ye Su talked to him the night before the start of the new season, to win the Golden Globe Award, which symbolizes the highest honor for a player!
………………
Ye Su was also happy to win Tottenham easily. Opening the gap between Chelsea and Manchester City is only one aspect. More importantly, when he goes to Italy to play, he can let more main players play.
In this game, since Tottenham did not pose too much threat to Manchester United's goal at all, the consumption of the players was actually not great. Especially Rooney, Vardy and Mata, who were replaced early, had no problems at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome after four days of playing.
However, considering that the Europa League ended less than 72 hours later, Manchester United will be a guest at Anfield, ushering in the second round of this season's Double Red Club, Ye Su still carried out multiple rotations.
The goalkeeper was De Gea, who only contributed one save in the last game. After all, the Ducks didn’t even drop a drop of sweat in that game. It was equivalent to standing in front of the goal and resting for 90 minutes. no problem.
There were two rotations in the back line, Ashley Young and Valencia came on the stage in rotation, forming a back four with Maguire and Van Dijk. Kanter continued to play, partnering with Carrick as a defensive midfielder; at the central midfielder, Mata took a break in rotation, Bruno Fernandez, De Bruyne and Vardy partnered, and Rooney advanced with a single arrow.
………………
Before the start of this game, the Premier League teams have all been eliminated in this season's Champions League. Without any suspense, Manchester City lost 0:1 at the Nou Camp Stadium, so they were double-killed by the Cosmos team and were eliminated with a total score of 1:3.
Although Arsenal tenaciously won the away game 2:0 and tied the total score to 3:3, but the hole dug too deep at home in the first leg was unfortunately eliminated with the disadvantage of few away goals.
In fact, in recent seasons, it is not the first time that Arsenal have dug holes for themselves like this, but it has almost become a norm.
In the 2010-2011 season, Arsenal met the thriving cosmos team Barcelona in the quarter-finals. Although they won 2:1 at home, they went to the Nou Camp. Van Persie's red card led to a 1:3 defeat for Arsenal. , with a total score of 3:4 out.
2011-2012 season,
Although Arsenal advanced to the knockout round with the first place in the group, they were drawn to AC Milan, which was recovering in the season. In the first round as a guest at San Siro, Arsenal lost 0:4 and basically buried themselves. Although they returned to the Emirates Stadium in the second round, Arsenal fought back and won the Rossoneri with a score of 3:0, but they still couldn't climb out of the deep pit in the first round and were out unfortunately.
In the 2012-2013 season, Arsenal met the Southern King Bayern in the quarter-finals, and once again dug a hole for themselves in the first round. They lost 1:3 at home to Bayern Munich. In the second round at the Allianz Arena, Arsenal showed their prowess and beat Bayern 2-0. Then, with a total score of 3:3, Arsenal tragically went out with fewer away goals.
Last season, Arsenal met Bayern again in the quarter-finals. In the first round, they lost 0:2 at home. Although they went to the away game and played 1:1 with their opponents, it still didn't help.
And then there's this season.
Ye Su felt that in terms of digging skills in the Champions League, no one could match Arsenal. Professor Wenger's team is already habitually digging holes for themselves in the Champions League, digging holes in different ways!
………………
Although the Premier League teams have all been eliminated in the Champions League, there is still a glimmer of hope in the Europa League.
Although Manchester United was tied 1:1 by Roma at home, but in the away game, it is not completely hopeless.
Another team, Everton, won 2:1 at home in the first round, and the opponent was only a Ukrainian team. The hope of advancing is greater than Manchester United.
It can be said that now Manchester United and Everton are already the hopes of the entire England in the European arena this season.
And these two games are also played at the same time, at 4 pm local time in the UK on March 19.
The match between Manchester United and Roma was very intense. Manchester United, who played away from home, turned away from the guest and launched a fierce attack at the beginning.
Only 7 minutes into the game, Manchester United's right-back Bruno Fernandez broke into the penalty area. Hollevas was fouled and the referee whistled a penalty kick. Rooney shot into the left side of the goal with his right foot!
1:0, Manchester United lead.
Since then, Roma has pressed the offense across the board, but Roma collapsed instantly because of consecutive defensive mistakes.
In the 18th minute, Roma goalkeeper Skrupski attacked and took the ball in order to avoid the ball going out of the bottom line to form a corner kick, but the ball hit the foot of Manchester United player Vardy, who smiled and shot the goal.
Manchester United lead 2:0!
In the 21st minute, Bruno Fernandez took a corner kick, Roma made a marking error, and Van Dijk headed the ball into the goal!
3:0, Manchester United expanded their lead.
Roma held their ground and began to fight back. In the 29th minute, Iturbe, who came off the bench, passed the ball, and Liajic's shot from close range was bravely saved by Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.
At the end of the intermission, Ye Su made two personnel adjustments, Fellaini replaced Rooney, and Smalling replaced De Bruyne. Ye Su decided to stay strong for the Double Red Club three days later, and in the second half of the game, Manchester United will switch to defense, leaving only Vardy and Bruno Fernandez in the frontcourt for counterattack.
Of course, Roma was not reconciled to a disastrous defeat at home. They launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal in the second half.
In the 48th minute, Roma almost pulled back a victory. Salah broke through two Manchester United defenders and broke into the penalty area with a strong shot from the left. The ball hit the crossbar and popped out!
In the 54th minute, it was Salah who posed a huge threat to Manchester United's goal. The Egyptian made a breakthrough cross, and Babakar's close-range attack almost broke the city of Manchester United. Fortunately, De Gea showed his world-class goalkeeper's strength and saved the ball miraculously.
In the 61st minute, Roma made a direct pass, and Gervinho formed a single shot, but was cleared by Van Dijk with a shovel from the side.
In the 88th minute, Liajic was shown a second yellow card and sent off. The 10-man Roma was unable to fight back, and the score was fixed at 0:3.
Due to the 1:1 draw between the two sides in the first round, Manchester United advanced 4:1 in the two rounds.
………………
In another game at the same time, Everton challenged Dynamo Kiev away. Everton, which won 2:1 at home in the first round, suffered a disastrous defeat. Dynamo Kiev scored 5 goals and finally won the game 5:2.
Everton was out 4:6 in two rounds.
In this way, in the Champions League and Europa League, Manchester United is the only Premier League team among the top eight teams, which has truly become the hope of the whole village.
On the second day, at noon on Friday, the Manchester United team flew back to England to prepare for the double red meeting two days later. The results of the Europa League quarterfinals draw also came out. Dynamo Kyiv, the Ukrainian team that eliminated Everton before.
For a time, the entire British sports media was full of news about Manchester United avenging Everton.
Of course, the Manchester United people have no intention of avenging Everton. On the one hand, the quarter-finals of the Europa League will not start until a month later. On the other hand, Manchester United also plays for themselves to advance.
Of course, the most important thing is that Manchester United's current thoughts are on the double red meeting two days later.
For this reason, Ye Sudu gave up his plan to visit Rome and experience the romance of the legendary Roman holiday.
Even so, Ye Su still felt that the Shuanghong meeting would be very difficult.
After all, many of Manchester United's main players have only fought a fierce battle with Rome, and the rest time is less than 70 hours. And because of Liverpool's early exit from the Europa League and the FA Cup, the recent schedule is very relaxed, with plenty of rest time to wait for work.
Another important reason is that this game is played at Anfield. And Anfield Stadium, the home of the Devils, is well-known throughout Europe, and the atmosphere is simply hot.
Especially in the face of the mortal enemy of Manchester United, the fans there are all fierce, wishing to kill all Manchester United players and coaches.
Those who have poor psychological quality will really suffer when they get there.
