Chapter 120 Week 53 In Good Condition

Chapter 120 Three Weeks in Good Condition

In order to ensure that the core players are fully rested, when Li Xiaoming faced CSKA Moscow's Pisa, Ferguson arranged for Li Xiaoming to sit on the bench.

CSKA Moscow should be the strongest opponent Manchester United can face in the group stage.

And from the last group match, CSKA Moscow also defeated their opponents. Relying on Moscow's home court advantage, the Russian team has never been a weak team. .

Manchester United came to Russia's down payment Moscow a day early.Because of Rooney's minor injury, he didn't come to Moscow with the team, and Li Xiaoming sat on the bench. Ferguson just wanted to put an insurance for this game. He wouldn't let Li Xiaoming play unless it was necessary. , Manchester United's current momentum is very good, and the core players must ensure their own state. Li Xiaoming is very important to the current Manchester United, so Ferguson also consciously allows Li Xiaoming to save his physical fitness. After all, he will have to play in the next game. very important role.

Ferguson made Irving, who performed very well in recent games, partner Berbatov as the starting striker for this game, and veteran Scholes and Giggs, who had a chance to rest in the last game, returned to the starting lineup. This season, uncharacteristically, almost The state of the veteran is also very good, so much so that inside the Manchester United dressing room, there has been a consensus that Manchester United's goal this season is the Champions League.The league championship is good, but three consecutive championships have made them feel tired. They are eager for more valuable championships, and the defeat in the final of last season also inspired the infinite fighting spirit of the Manchester United team.

Personnel in other positions remain unchanged.

For this game, Ferguson made a very detailed arrangement. For him, the best result is that Manchester United beat CSKA Moscow away.But if you can't beat it, it's not bad to be able to draw in the end.

Losing is to be avoided as much as possible.

Ferguson's vision is very long-term, and if he wants to go further in the knockout stage, it is of course better to be first in the group than to be second in the group.

In a wealthy team, competition and rotation are very necessary, so in a wealthy team, the strength of the substitute players is often not trivial. A wealthy club not only means the supreme glory, but also the background, and Sufficient and ready-to-play bench is a kind of heritage

Now Manchester United's away game against CSKA Moscow is simply Manchester United showing that they have enough players in their team who can continue to contribute in the game.

Under the organization of Scholes and Carrick, Manchester United's offense is only methodical and multi-point blooming, as if they can threaten CSKA Moscow's goals everywhere.

No.205 minutes, after Manchester United continued to attack, Ryan Giggs shot.

"Giggs! He scored a goal! Veteran Giggs still showed a very good state of management, this season Giggs has scored 6 goals, this is the best performance of Giggs in recent years, should not Say it's the best start to Manchester United in years. They're undefeated, unbeatable."

Although this goal was not assisted by Scholes, it was initiated by Scholes. He also had a key transfer in it, which finally opened up the situation for Manchester United's attack.

"Compared to last season's slightly sluggish performance, Scholes' competitive state is also very good.!" Martin Taylor commented very accurately. "Scholes gave Manchester United a direction to attack, which was not seen in many cases last season, and Scholes' good state is believed to have been inspired by Li Youyou's performance. For Ferguson, He must have seen it on the Internet."

Amidst his admiration, Scholes was running with his team-mates to hug Ryan Giggs who scored the goal.

"This is a team capable of competing for the Champions League." Martin Taylor said the same when he saw this scene, fully affirming Manchester United's excellent performance so far. As an Englishman, he naturally wants the English team to win. champion.

In the first half, Manchester United took a temporary lead with this goal. After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides will change sides and fight again.

At the end of the first half, the most close-up shots were not Giggs who scored a goal, or Scholes who only managed the midfield in an orderly manner, but sat on the bench and Valencia , Park Ji-sung and other teammates talked and laughed with Li Xiaoming.

"I think the arrival of this child has brought changes to Manchester United. Now Manchester United is more pure and more like an army."

And Ferguson is also satisfied with the current state of the team. The state of the players will have a very obvious effect on the team's next league and Champions League...

Just after the start of the second half, CSKA Moscow made substitutions.

Replaced Shenikov with midfielder Mamaev.This is to strengthen the control in the midfield.

Because in the first half, CSKA Moscow's midfield was basically completely suppressed by Manchester United's offensive.

The reason is also very simple, because Manchester United has superstars in the midfield, and CSKA Moscow.

In terms of control, the combination of Carrick and Scholes is indeed very powerful. He can give Manchester United the upper hand in the midfield by using simple passes and running positions.

However, such adjustments did not yield any results, and they still firmly controlled the situation.

No.607 minutes, Scholes directly assisted Owen to score a goal, rewriting the score to 2:0!

"Michael Owen! He scored again! An assist from Scholes! Manchester United led CSKA Moscow by two goals in the away game! It was supposed to be the top match of the Champions League, but I didn't expect it to be a bit one-sided from the scene to the result... "

This is indeed a bit unexpected.But it also shows how good Manchester United's state is.

Even though CSKA Moscow, who was in good form before, was sitting at home and faced Manchester United at home, he suddenly lost the feeling of winning consecutive victories.

Was beaten by Manchester United without any power to fight back.

Whether it is the ball possession rate, the number of shots, or the number of corner kicks, Manchester United is superior, and even the number of fouls, Manchester United is much more than CSKA Moscow.

What does the number of fouls indicate?

It shows that Manchester United in the away game has more desire to win than CSKA Moscow at home, and the game is more active. In order to seize control of the game, it is natural to have more fouls, otherwise, how could CSKA Moscow easily give up the ball? Woolen cloth?

And CSKA Moscow finally replaced their core Dzagoyev after Manchester United scored the second goal.

Zagoyev was very active after he came on the field, and CSKA Moscow's offense finally improved.

And began to threaten Manchester United's goal.

"Zagoyev! Beautiful shot! Almost went in!"

CSKA Moscow's home stadium finally sounded the cheers of CSKA Moscow fans.

Seeing this situation, Ferguson, who was planning to replace Scholes, temporarily changed his mind.He originally wanted Li Xiaoming to play to find his way, but now what he needs is for the players on the field to completely crush CSKA Moscow to death.

Although Manchester United still has a league game to play three days later, Ferguson is not worried at all. He has too many people under his command, and sometimes he doesn't know who to choose, and this may be the waywardness of the giants.

Facts have proved that Ferguson was right to let Scholes stay on the court, no matter whether he changed or not.

Facing CSKA Moscow, which was playing faster and faster, the Manchester United midfielder led by Scholes tried to make the rhythm of the game a little slower, destroying the rhythm of CSKA Moscow.

A slower pace is conducive to Manchester United's possession of the ball. As long as the football is controlled by Manchester United players, CSKA Moscow will not be able to counterattack.

And this level is far from Li Xiaoming's reach, which is what Ferguson hopes Li Xiaoming can learn, but this ability to control the game situation requires a lot of accumulation of game experience, and Scholes is a little more calm than Li Xiaoming .

Instead, it was CSKA Moscow who were eager to score.The attack was too fierce, almost being counterattacked by Manchester United...

After that, CSKA Moscow became much more honest.

Zagoyev has all the skills and has no place to use them.

In the end, Manchester United defeated CSKA Moscow 2-0 in the away game, ending the battle for the top spot with a victory.

~~~~~~~

Back in Manchester. Manchester United ushered in a chance to rest. They only have one game left in the League Cup in October. In the view of Ferguson, the tasteless game of the League Cup is not particularly important. He needs Focus more on your opponents in the league and the Champions League.

Three days later, the mixed-match players of the Manchester United youth team and the reserve team successfully lost the game, but for Ferguson, it was acceptable. On the road to greater honors, one needs to give up a little something. The Second League Cup is tasteless to Manchester United now.

So in the process of preparing for the League Cup, Ferguson gave the team three days off.They have a game against Blackburn three days later.And Li Xiaoming also got a very important thing in his life in these three days, the driver's license, which also means that Li Xiaoming got rid of the life of rubbing cars.

After getting permission from Cristiano, Li Xiaoming drove out Ronaldo's cheapest BMW. It was a white SUV, not luxurious or domineering, but it was enough for his own use. He knew very well why Dongfang Zhuo failed if he didn't get in those luxury cars, and he didn't want to be the hurt Zhongyong in others' mouths.

Blackburn have been in really bad form lately, and it's hard to see signs that they might suddenly explode in this game.

Before the Blackburn game.Manchester United looked very relaxed.

Ferguson also didn't take Blackburn seriously. In his opinion, if Blackburn can stop Manchester United, then Manchester United is not qualified to aspire to a championship trophy. This has something to do with the team's competitive spirit. If you have the desire to win and take your opponents seriously, then Manchester United will be invincible.

Facts also proved Ferguson's judgment.

After the start of the game, there was no short-circuited Manchester United, and there was no way Blackburn could beat it.

Before the start of the game, we can still compete with Manchester United.

When the first half progressed to the late stage, Blackburn's defense began to have various problems...

"Nelson missed someone! What a risk! Berbatov almost scored!" Martin Taylor exclaimed. "It's a big miss... but it doesn't seem to surprise us at all because that's what Blackburn's defense has impressed us the most this season - Blackburn have had a terrible away record this season. In addition to a small loss of 1 goal as a guest at Sunderland, they all lost more than 3 goals as a guest at Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea. This game also damaged the core midfielder Dunn and central defender Samba. It seems that Manchester United can win A big win!"

Martin Taylor was like a prophecy, and Blackburn started to have some serious problems at the back.

The game then continued.Manchester United obviously took Nelson's place as a breakthrough, and consciously started to play here.

Li Xiaoming passed the football here again and again, and Rooney, Nani and Berbatov also took turns attacking Nelson's defense zone, hoping to make him make mistakes in his busy schedule.

Such continuous pressure is effective.

In two minutes, Li Xiaoming once again passed the football to Nelson's defense zone. Nani went up to catch the ball and Nelson followed suit.

Unexpectedly, Nani didn't stop the ball at all, but knocked the football back with his heel directly, and the football went behind Berbato's husband

Now that Manchester United can press so unscrupulously, it is bullying Blackburn who does not have the ability to counterattack quickly.

In this game, Blackburn did not have a player with fast speed and outstanding personal skills in the midfield.

Even if they know that there is space behind Manchester United, the ball can be passed, but no one can run up.

However, after Manchester United continued to exert pressure, they got a lot of opportunities.

Eight minutes after Berbatov's goal, he had another chance in the box.

But this time his shot was saved by the opposite goalkeeper.

The football flew out of the penalty area behind him.

Li Xiaoming appeared on the landing point of the football, then stopped the ball, and then swung his feet to take a long shot, but it was just a fake action, which tricked Blackburn's chief Andrews into rushing over, but passed the football to the left Wayne Rooney.

Then he continued to rush into the penalty area.

Rooney also understood what he meant by running like this, and then passed the football between the two Blackburn players, and Li Xiaoming just ran to that position, and after receiving the ball again, he turned around and faced the goal.

This time, he swung his feet again, but no one could interfere with him again!

shoot!

A streak was rubbed on the instep of the right foot, and the football ran forward against the turf, bypassing the goalkeeper Bute who fell to the ground to save, and finally rolled into the goal by rubbing against the far post!

The ball went in again!

Manchester United lead Blackburn by two goals at home!

At this time, Berbatov took advantage of the situation and waded the football into the penalty area!

Then facing another Blackburn central defender who came up, he made a move to shoot.

Blackburn's central defender dared not stop him, and fell to the ground and stretched out his feet to intercept, but Mark dunked the football, just out of his defensive range

Then he took a quick kick and the football flew into the goal from the tip of Bout's finger

"The ball has been scored!! r has been scored!" The live commentator shouted from the stands holding a microphone. "We were 1-[-] ahead of Blackburn and the man who scored was the number nine Berbatov, a strong Bulgarian."

He raised his voice.

Immediately after the stands, everyone shouted: "Berbatov!!!"

United continue to storm Blackburn after Berbatov goal
