Chapter 616: Military Training

In the second half, Manchester United played more relaxed.

And West Bromwich Albion on the other side also saw the reality clearly, there was no hope.

In the end, Manchester United scored a goal each by Martial and McTominay, setting the score at 5-0.

Manchester United easily defeated their opponents and got three points.

However, Manchester City also won the game this round, and the points gap between the two teams is still 15 points.

There are five rounds left in the Premier League. As long as Manchester United gets one more point, they will win the championship in advance.

The game against Bournemouth three days later is Manchester United's championship battle.

However, this game is not so important for Manchester United's soldiers.

Because the next challenge is to go all out and not to lose.

On April 18, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Manchester United played away against Bournemouth.

On April 22, in the FA Cup semi-finals, Manchester United played against Brighton at home.

On April 26, in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United played against Real Madrid at home.

On April 29, in the 36th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Arsenal at home.

On May 3, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United visited the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid.

Manchester United was under a lot of pressure in several important games.

The only thing to be thankful for in this wave of schedules is that the key games are all at home, which is very good.

And for them, the Premier League games interspersed in between have become a buffer zone for the team to rest.

Now Manchester United has the league championship in hand, and it doesn’t matter if they win the championship a few games in advance.

In the center of the Carrington training base, Mourinho once again expressed his gratitude to the players.

"Boys, you have been really great this season, and I am proud of you!

"Since the beginning of the season, you have shown extraordinary fighting spirit,

"The consecutive victories in the league have kept us at the top of the list and suppressed Manchester City,

"Even in the intensive Christmas schedule, we did not fall behind,

"If a player is injured, others can quickly take over,

"This really touched us.

"Look at our current situation. I really praise the team's previous performance.

"If we didn't have the lead, we wouldn't be in such a state of ease and preparation now.

"This is all thanks to you!

"For all the upcoming league games, no one needs to feel pressured. After all, we have the championship in our hands.

"In all the games, you can give full play to your talents.

"Either find the state, or practice tactics, or run-in cooperation.

"Everything is to prepare for the upcoming Champions League game.

"Our opponent is the powerful Real Madrid, but I have confidence in you.

"You will definitely be able to beat them!

"Come on, boys!

"This season we will finally practice and create miracles!

"Create a bigger miracle! ”

Creating a miracle is one thing, creating a bigger miracle is another.

Mourinho’s “bigger” obviously refers to Manchester United’s treble season in 1999.

Even though Ferguson later won the Champions League final, the impact on the team, the value of the championship, and even the legendary level of the game were far less great than the miracle of that season.

But if Manchester United wins all the championships this season, they will become the creator of a bigger miracle!

Looking at Mourinho’s powerful appearance, everyone is looking forward to it!

You know, Mourinho is a coach who is good at creating miracles.

Whether it was the former Porto Champions League miracle or Inter Milan's five-time champion miracle, Mourinho's creation was extremely difficult.

But even so, he still repeatedly surprised the fans.

Even for teams like Chelsea and Real Madrid that did not win the Champions League, their fans still miss Mourinho.

Can he lead us to create a bigger miracle this season?

On the evening of April 18, Manchester United visited Bournemouth's home stadium, Vitality Stadium, ready to welcome the top battle of this season.

Although Mourinho sent out almost all substitutes, the fans still have confidence in them.

In the away stands of this game , many Manchester United fans brought balloons, paper shells or plastic Premier League championship trophies.

Manchester United must win this game!

This night must be the night of defending the title!

Their opponent Bournemouth is currently ranked 11th in the league.

It is impossible to be relegated, and it is impossible to qualify for the European Cup.

So the victory or defeat of this game, or even the victory or defeat of the next three games, is not so important and has nothing to do with the overall situation.

But even so, they still go all out.

Any game is fought for victory and honor.

Their head coach is Eddie Howe, an English coach with little fame.

But at Bournemouth, he is already tired Ji has been coaching for nearly ten years and is a meritorious coach of the team.

Especially after leading the team to upgrade, he successfully avoided relegation for two consecutive seasons, and the results have improved in the past two seasons, which makes the club very satisfied.

For a team like Bournemouth that does not have much ambition, it is very good to stay in the middle of the Premier League every season.

It seems that they have no desire, but they played very well in this game.

The referee blew the whistle and the two sides started to attack.

Manchester United sent almost all substitutes and young players. They received Mourinho's instruction to "let go and play", so they played very relaxed.

And Bournemouth also played very hard.

Several players wanted to perform well when facing their old friends.

Forward Joshua King was once a player from Manchester United's youth training. In this game, he hopes to gain something when facing his old club.

Central defender Ake is a central defender from Chelsea's youth training, but he did not get many opportunities to play during his time at Chelsea and has been on the "taxi". Today, facing his former coach Mourinho, he also hopes to prove his worth with his outstanding performance.

They all did it.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Joshua King's long shot helped Bournemouth score the first goal.

And Ake's full defense in the backcourt also made Manchester United's offensive repeatedly unsuccessful.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United fell behind 0-1.

During the halftime break, Mourinho didn't say much. He just pointed out some problems of the young people and helped them improve.

Even though the players were not in good shape in the first half, Mourinho still did not criticize them. He was patient and peaceful.

This made the young players a little embarrassed.

They did not play very well in the first half.

Before going on the field, Mourinho told the players.

"Playing freely does not mean pure individualism without regard for the team.

"I hope you can integrate both offensive and defensive talents into the game.

"Take advantage of the less intense Premier League games now.
