Chapter 1772: The fake big devils Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, the real big devil Boru

With all games in Group A concluded.

Everyone was stunned by the ranking in front of them.

Manchester United has 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, ranking first with 10 points.

The second place is not PSG, but Borussia Monchengladbach.

Borussia has 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses, ranking second with 9 points.

The third place is Paris. They have 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 8 points.

In other words, in the last round, everyone has a chance to advance to the next round.

Everyone has a chance to qualify first in the group.

[The fake big devils of Group A are Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, but the real big devil is Borussia Monchengladbach! 】

[Borussia Monchengladbach is the only undefeated team in Group A! Beat Manchester United in the Champions League and tie with Paris Saint-Germain! 】

[The real group of death, Manchester United, Paris and Monchengladbach compete for first place in the group! 】

Seeing this standings, Ye Chen suddenly felt that being tied by Borussia Mönchengladbach wasn't too bad.

Because as long as he is undefeated in the final round, Emery, who has conflicts with him, will not be able to advance to the knockout rounds...

After the Champions League games ended, the qualifying situation of each major group was very clear.

But the strongest ones are the La Liga teams.

Barcelona has a solid 5-game winning streak. Messi scored 10 goals in the group stage with one game less, and the momentum is strong.

Ye Chen's current number of goals is 11, but he played one more game.

This makes many Messi fans very angry——

"It's definitely not just Ye Chen who is the best player, but Messi too!"

"Who stipulates that there can only be one football champion? Messi who returns to the club is the real football champion!"

"Stop touching porcelain. See if they pay attention to you!"

"When will the World Cup runner-up become the world champion? Then is Ronaldo also the world champion?"

"So, the world champion is too worthless, right?"

"Then Ye Chen is the world champion? He is not the captain of the German team when they win the championship!"

"Can this be leveraged? Ye Chen was the absolute core when the German team won the championship, don't worry!"

"..."

Because the Champions League group stage has entered a fierce stage, the discussion is particularly heated.

Barcelona does have a bit of invincibility this season.

On the other hand, Real Madrid, because Ronaldo's state is a bit sluggish, is currently suppressed by Dortmund and ranks second in the group.

Sevilla was a strong group. Facing the challenge from Juventus, they swept it 4-0.

This made everyone realize that even without Ye Chen, Sevilla is still a top team.

Of course, Klopp's coaching ability has also been further recognized.

Klopp’s mad dog tactics are really something!

After the game against Borussia Monchengladbach, Mourinho directly announced a message - no holidays, everyone will come back to train!

Originally, Mourinho wanted to securely win first place in the group, but now the qualifying situation has become confusing.

Isn't this trying to force his mentality?

After the game, Mourinho scolded all the players except Ye Chen...

Especially Rashford who missed opportunities one after another.

In the first half, Modric in the backcourt sent a single ball to Rashford, but Rashford missed the ball after a world-class stop.

At that moment, Ye Chen even thought of Wu Lei in his previous life...

Is it that difficult to do it alone?

I'm really not confident, why not just pass the goalkeeper?

You must know that the attacking party is always the one taking the initiative!

Whether it's a shot or a pass, doesn't it all depend on the person holding the ball?

However, Mourinho still gave Ye Chen the green light to rest for the whole morning.

Just come to the afternoon tactics meeting.

The Manchester United players had no objections to this arrangement, but Ye Chen was the first to arrive at the club the next day.

First, ask the team doctor to massage your muscles. At the same time, in the winter, you have to soak in ice water.

According to scientific research, this is beneficial to muscle recovery after competition.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Manchester United faced the mid-table team Hammers West Ham United at home.

The coach of West Ham United at this time is Croatian coach Bilic.

Before the game, Bilic also praised Modric and Ronaldo of Manchester United, saying that they would become the top midfielders in the Premier League.

Of course, if you are a fan of Guoan, you will find out that this guy has been coaching Guoan for a year.

After finishing coaching West Ham United, he moved to Jeddah United and West Bromwich Albion, and finally took charge of Beijing Guoan in 2021.

But at that time, the flu was raging, and there was no way to play well at all. In the end, they made a competition zone or something... Guoan's results were mediocre anyway, so he packed up and left.

Mourinho seemed very low-key before the game and made a large rotation of the lineup.

Ye Chen still appeared on the starting list, but Lukaku, De Bruyne and Modric all rested.

Ye Chen, Lingard, Rooney and McTominay formed the frontcourt four.

What do you say about this combination?

Cooperate with the mince!

The game ended in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

The fans didn't have much objection to this draw.

After all, Manchester United's frontcourt is stretched thin, so timely reinforcement is the way to go...

At the same time, some celebrities began to call for Ye Chen to take a rest.

Since joining Manchester United, he has participated in all perfect attendance!

In fact, Mourinho also realized this, so in the game against Leeds United on December 12, Ye Chen sat on the bench.

There was nothing wrong with this game.

Romero continues to replace De Gea in the starting lineup.

And Manchester United has four consecutive home games!

In this game, Manchester United swept Leeds United 4-1.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Rooney assisted Rashford, who had been scolded recently for his poor performance, and shot into the far corner to help the team expand the score.

But in the 35th minute, the opponent equalized the score with a corner kick.

In the first half, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw.

In the second half, Manchester United began to press up front, and the gap in strength between Leeds United and Manchester United began to show.

Lukaku scored consecutively in the 48th and 62nd minutes, extending the score to 3-1!

In the final stage, Herrera assisted Lingard and helped the team score the last goal, locking the score at 4-1!

Manchester United easily advanced to the semi-finals.

In another League Cup match, Liverpool defeated West Ham United 2-0.

Arsenal suffered an upset loss to Southampton.

Newcastle fought fiercely with Hull City until 120 minutes. In the end, Hull City eliminated Newcastle 3-1 on penalty kicks.

The two teams mainly compete with each other as rookies.

Hull City are currently ranked third from bottom in the Premier League and are favorites for relegation.

Newcastle, on the other hand, is number one in the English Championship and is the favorite for promotion.

As the game ended, the draw results came out quickly. Manchester United's opponent in the EFL Cup semi-finals was Hull City.

Liverpool plays against Southampton.

Although many fans are not too keen on the EFL Cup, they immediately become interested when they think that the championship was won by defeating Liverpool.

Of course, the semi-finals haven't even started yet, so everyone assumes that the final will be Manchester United versus Liverpool.

It is estimated that the Football Association arranged the matchup in this way to sell more tickets for the final.

In fact, the English Football League originally wanted Manchester United to face Arsenal first, and then have a Taoyuan Derby.

But Arsenal couldn't stand it and they all played as substitutes and lost to Southampton...

But that's right. Compared with competing for the top four in the league, it doesn't matter whether they advance to the League Cup or whether they can win the championship.

On the contrary, Southampton really wants to win the championship. After all, the winner of the League Cup can lock in a Europa League spot!

For the wealthy clubs, the Europa League is useless, but for the mid-tier teams, it is a free income!
