Chapter 1808 Manchester United’s perfect opportunity to overtake Chelsea

"Viewers, everyone is welcome to lock in the Gugu Sports live broadcast room!"

"I am today's host Zhan Jun, and next to me is my old partner, Zhang Lu and Zhang Zhang!"

"Hey hey hey, good evening everyone!"

Before this game, Manchester City's game had already been played. They defeated Burnley 2-1 at home.

They also advanced directly to fourth place in the standings.

In an interview after the game, Guardiola said frankly, "It is unrealistic to compete for the championship this season. Our primary goal is to enter the top four, and we hope to go further in the Champions League!"

They also entered the top 16, and their opponent was the relatively weak Monaco.

Many fans are already rejoicing and have even begun to select their top eight opponents...

For these blindly optimistic fans, Guardiola is very sensible. "Monaco can be first in the group, which shows that they are strong. If we underestimate them, we will definitely regret it..."

Although many people don't like Guardiola, saying that he is pretentious, or even saying that he is Yue Buqun and a hypocrite.

But Ye Chen has a different view.

Ye Chen thinks Guardiola is the kind of person with great wisdom.

Think about how Manchester City became invincible bit by bit in his hands?

At their peak, even a team as powerful as Real Madrid had to fight back honestly...

Of course, during Manchester City's peak years, their strongest opponent was Real Madrid.

Mourinho was also asked about the Champions League, but he was very direct, "Since it is a Premier League game, let's talk more about the Premier League. The Champions League is not what we need to consider now!"

To be honest, encountering a team like Juventus is really frustrating.

But what can be done?

No matter how difficult it is to deal with, you have to deal with it.

Now many fans are already rejoicing. Fortunately, their EFL Cup semi-final opponent is Hull City, not Arsenal or Liverpool.

Otherwise it will really collapse.

After entering January, Manchester United has a total of seven games.

Two of them are the semi-finals of the EFL Cup and two games in the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup - if Manchester United advances.

The first three games were not particularly strong.

But the fourth game was a battle between the two red clubs.

At the last moment of the last match, Karius participated in the corner kick attack, but Ye Chen completed a long shot from 40 meters away.

This has become a pain in the hearts of countless Liverpool fans.

Liverpool this year feels a bit on the rise.

So many fans are already clamoring for revenge...

The players are also very motivated.

This is the real mortal enemy!

The game only starts in half a month, and the atmosphere has already begun to spread.

And the major media are also building momentum in advance.

You must know that apart from Chelsea, who is currently at the top of the list, the second place is Manchester United, and the third place is Liverpool.

It can be said that this will be the closest Double Red Club in terms of strength in recent years!

But Manchester United still have to play three games before that.

"Today West Ham United formed a 433 formation!"

"Goalkeeper Randolph."

"Left back Cresswell, double center back Ogbonna partnering Winston Reed, right back Nordwit!"

"The midfield three is Lanzini, Obiang and Kouyate."

"Left winger Payet, forward Antonio, right winger Fegut!"

"Payet has continued his outstanding performance in the European Cup. This season, he has scored double figures in goals and assists. It can be said that West Ham is now the most powerful offensive point!"

"Manchester United also has a 433-- formation!"

"Goalkeeper De Gea."

"Left back Rojo, double central defender Maguire partner Smalling, right back Valencia!"

"The three midfielders are Ronaldo and Modric partnering with De Bruyne."

"Left winger Rashford, forward Lukaku, right winger Ye Chen!"

"According to the running charts of the previous games, Ye Chen is not fixed on the right side. The midfield and frontcourt are his space for movement!"

“I don’t know if Ye Chen can continue his wonderful performance in the last game today. In the last game against Middlesbrough, it was Ye Chen’s last-minute kill that took away the three points and secured the points against Chelsea. gap!"

"Chelsea will challenge their powerful rival Tottenham in an away game two days later. Audience friends, please lock in the live broadcast room at 1 o'clock in the morning on January 5 and witness the London Derby with us. Directors Zhan Jun and Zhang will provide live commentary for everyone. .”

The four words "London Derby" are really a bit too much in the Premier League, but they are not that attractive.

But because Chelsea started to get stronger this season, Tottenham also showed good combat effectiveness, which really made the fans look forward to it.

This is the only strong confrontation in this round.

Players from both sides walked to the court under the leadership of Mike Dean.

Many West Ham fans also cheered after hearing Ye Chen's name.

After all, he has conquered this venue, and there are indeed many of his fans...

Of course, West Ham United's mortal enemy is Millwall, also from East London. This is a relationship where fighting requires the use of a knife.

However, this team has not been in the Premier League for a long time, and the opportunities they have encountered are pitiful.

Mourinho on the sidelines shook hands with the opposing coach Bilic in a friendly manner.

And around them, countless bubbles appeared.

Everyone thinks that West Ham is the Hammers, they must be a group of tough guys, the big and the tough.

But actually their theme song is called "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", which means we are always blowing bubbles.

Very cute feeling.

If you switch to urban cool novels, this is a perfect contrast of cuteness...

Soon, the game officially started.

West Ham United did not say anything about shrinking when playing at home.

The venue for today's match is Upton Park, which can accommodate 35,000 spectators, and it was filled to capacity today.

Well……

Can they shrink under the attention of so many fans?

At least show some attitude!

Even though West Ham United is only ranked 12th in the league, anyone who has watched the Premier League knows that they are a real tough team.

In the first round against Manchester United, we tied them 1-1 on the road, which was when Ye Chen's long-range shot scored...

Otherwise it will be difficult to score a goal!

They were submissive in the away game, but now that they are back at home, they want to strike hard!

West Ham, who took the initiative, pressed directly to the left side of Manchester United.

The core of their offense is undoubtedly Payet, one of the French team's thighs.

In fact, Payet's outstanding performance in the European Cup has attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.

But Payet said, "I will 100% continue to stay at West Ham United. I love this team and I can't wait to play in the new stadium."

At that time, Upton Park had just been renovated.

2 minutes 04 seconds.

Payet breaks through along the wing.

Although Valencia is not slow, Payet has both speed and dexterity.

In fact, players need to evolve.

The so-called evolution is to perform well in key games, which will greatly enhance the players' confidence.

Facing Valencia's defense, he directly chose to cut inside.

Just when Valencia caught up, he pushed the ball to the left with his toes.

Bottom quickly.

"Oh!"

The football was sent directly to the middle area!
