Chapter 1673. Book at a low price? The Champions League group stage draw is about to begin!

The two goals felt like knocking Southampton unconscious.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Pierre quickly called Romeu to the sidelines and asked him to defend firmly from behind.

Romeu was full of enthusiasm when he returned to the court and vowed to use his performance to live up to the coach's trust.

But when the game came to 18 minutes, Ye Chen passed him with a fried meatball.

Romeu turned around forcefully and accidentally twisted his knee - and ended up on a stretcher.

In desperation, he could only use Dutch midfielder Krasi, but he is thin, so who is Ye Chen's opponent?

20 minutes 24 seconds.

The backcourt chooses to kick the ball directly.

Ye Chen carried Kraxi and directly passed the ball to Rooney in the attacking midfielder position.

Rooney took advantage of the situation and went to the right, feeling something coming.

A decisive kick.

Ye Chen often scores goals from long range, whether in training matches or official matches.

As Manchester United's rare long-range shooter, Rooney has already had itchy feet.

Of course, this long-range shot is indeed of good quality.

But Foster is also the No. 2 national goalkeeper. He rose into the air and blocked the football with difficulty.

Manchester United gets a corner kick.

Rooney took a long breath——

Although Ye Chen joined, his gradually cold heart became hot.

He even had the urge to train hard and compete with Ye Chen!

Of course, this is what top players can bring to the team - in addition to their personal strength, their fighting spirit can also infect the players, especially the young players.

Although Ye Chen has become famous, he still practices more habitually.

Rashford, Lingard and McTominay, a young guy who had just been promoted to the first team not long ago, were all involved.

Lingard, in particular, is very thick-skinned and always asks questions directly whenever he doesn't understand something.

After all, Lingard and Ye Chen also played together in the youth team...

21 minutes 02 seconds.

Modric takes the corner kick.

The football was delivered directly to the middle.

Maguire jumped up hard.

Just when his head was in close contact with the football, a huge force behind him pulled him to the ground...

"Beep!"

Anthony Taylor was directly sentenced to death!

Southampton's players held their heads and looked in disbelief.

The captain rushed to argue, but Anthony Taylor played an unselfish character.

Ye Chen did not grab the right to take the penalty, after all, he had just arrived at Manchester United.

Manchester United's top scorer is Rooney.

Mourinho on the sidelines didn't say anything. Although Ye Chen was very good at penalty kicks, he rarely missed them.

But it is undeniable that Rooney is still the team's captain and penalty kicker!

Just when Ye Chen took the initiative to retreat outside the penalty area, Rooney called out to him.

"Ye, you punish me!"

"Ah?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, "No need, you are the number one penalty kicker in the team!"

In fact, Rooney is not only the team's leading penalty taker, but also the second leading scorer in Manchester United's history.

Of course, he is now infinitely close to Sir Bobby Charlton at the top of the list. Charlton has 249 goals, while Rooney has 240 goals.

Although Ye Chen's statistics can be better if he scores more penalty kicks, it is an opportunity for Rooney to surpass the legend.

And as a time traveler, Ye Chen knows that this is Rooney's last season at Manchester United.

Rooney looked at Ye Chen carefully, "Well then, I'll give you the key game, and I'll score the icing on the cake!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want!"

In fact, after you get older, it will become more and more difficult to score goals.

After all, the explosive power and speed cannot keep up.

This is why Cristiano Ronaldo was so happy after he was able to score more than 50 points.

In fact, doesn’t he himself know that the difficulty level in Saudi Arabia is low?

But that didn't stop him from being happy.

Of course, the media still likes to quote things out of context.

Just like Ronaldo said in his previous life: Saudi Arabia is not worse than Ligue 1. In Ligue 1, I think there are only two or three teams with higher standards, but in Saudi Arabia, you know, it is more competitive here.

In fact, it means that there are one or two super strong players in Ligue 1, which makes the league championship lose suspense, but the strength of Saudi Arabia United is closer.

But the media doesn't care about this. When the news comes, the headline is [Saudi United is better than Ligue 2023, I am the top scorer in ].

This is bound to reap another large wave of traffic.

Ronaldo is naturally happy with this. After the World Cup, he has left the mainstream leagues and does not care too much about competitive things. Instead, he chases traffic.

We are all common people. In this era where traffic is king, Cristiano Ronaldo made money just by lying down!

Returning to the game, Rooney scored instantly and expanded the score to 3-0!

Manchester United completely controlled the situation on the field.

Of course, the Premier League is all about keeping a line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

After 3-0, Manchester United did not continue to suppress the ball, but took the initiative to withdraw the defense and increased probing and counterattacking.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United entered the break maintaining a three-goal lead.

Mourinho also praised the performance of his disciples, and also emphasized the tactics in the second half...defense firmly and wait for opportunities to counterattack.

Southampton is likely to be on the attack in the second half.

After all, if you think about it from another perspective, if you were the coach of Southampton, you would not give up if you had 45 minutes.

The course of the game was just as Mourinho predicted.

Southampton strengthened its attack in the middle, but Mourinho on the sidelines did not panic at all.

On the contrary, there is still some expectation.

His carefully laid out defensive tactics...it's time to take effect!

59 minutes 22 seconds.

Hojbjerg drove straight into the penalty area, but Maguire predicted the ball in advance and passed the ball to Herrera in midfield.

Herrera did not take the ball himself, but distributed it to De Bruyne on the left.

De Bruyne rushes forward quickly.

Also running are Ye Chen, Lukaku and Rooney.

At this moment, they were like a troika galloping forward!

All the fans at the scene stood up.

This scene seems familiar!

But it was Ferguson who was standing on the sidelines, and it was Rooney and Ronaldo who were running upfield!

Suddenly it lit up!

De Bruyne takes the ball and advances quickly from the wing.

Right-back Cedric Suarez approaches quickly.

But the moment he approached, De Bruyne tipped the toe of his right foot.

The football just went over Suarez's head and flew behind him.

The next second, Lukaku appeared where the football landed.

After all, we are teammates on the national team, so this tacit understanding is still okay.

The moment Lukaku took the ball, he took advantage of the situation and blasted into the penalty area.

"I'm just making soup, I..."

Lukaku looked up and saw the goalkeeper attacking.

Just when everyone thought Lukaku was going to hit the goal, he suddenly twisted his waist and sent the ball to the middle.

"Oh!"

Fonte on the back line quickly came to the rescue.

However, one leg was the first to follow——

A muffled sound exploded like thunder.

The net stirred.

Ye Chen, who scored the goal, rushed to the sidelines, started spinning his fingers, jumped up high, and turned 180 degrees!

"Siu~~~~~~~~~"

The commentator was shouting excitedly at this time.

"Goooooooal!!!"

Ye Chen's photo also appeared on the big screen again.

First, the back photo, No. 7, YeChen!

Immediately there was a frontal photo of him clenching his fists in celebration, with "Gooooal" written on a red background and in white letters! !

The atmosphere is amazing!

The ground was shaking at this moment, and the enthusiasm of the fans seemed to knock off the roof of Old Trafford.

“Incredible performance!”

"This is Ye Chen's third consecutive 2+1 game since joining Manchester United!"

"Three games, six goals and three assists, Ye Chen is really too strong!"

"Hehe...it's okay, it's a little worse than him joining Sevilla and Chelsea...hehe..."

When he first joined Chelsea, he scored hat tricks in the first three games, scoring nine goals and two assists, which shocked the British Isles.

Later, he joined Sevilla. In the first three games, he scored ten goals and added one assist, which shocked the Iberian Peninsula.

In contrast, the data after returning to Manchester United this time are not explosive enough.

Of course, some people open high and go low, and some people open low and go high.

There are also people who drive low and drive like crazy!

After three games of running-in, Ye Chen has integrated well into the team's system.

However, Mourinho obviously wanted to use Ye Chen sparingly and asked him to clock out early at 65 minutes.

Youngster Rashford took his place.

When he was off the field, Mourinho took the initiative to step forward and hug Ye Chen, "I've been working hard recently. Let's go get the award together in a few days!"

On August 8, the Champions League group stage draw will be held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco…

At that time, Carlos, Seedorf, Henry and Ruud Ruud will be the guests of the draw.

There is no doubt that this will be a star-studded night.
