Chapter 2040: Playing against Crystal Palace, Manchester United can’t win less than Manchester City,
Manchester United's good days at the beginning of the season are over.
In the first seven rounds, they were all mid- or lower-tier teams.
But in the eighth round, they will face Liverpool...
Don't look at the fact that Liverpool lost five to Manchester City.
But when facing Manchester United, even the worst Liverpool can give Manchester United a hard bite.
vice versa!
This is the magic of the Double Red Meeting.
If the game is not played, no one will know what the outcome will be.
However, before Manchester United plays Crystal Palace, there is still a Champions League game to play.
This time the opponent is Ronaldo's home team, Sporting Lisbon.
Ancelotti did not use all his main players against this opponent.
Instead, let the main players rotate.
Even Ye Chen was placed on the bench.
Because he returned home, Ronaldo started the game.
When Ronaldo came on the court, the fans at the scene raised TIFO to welcome Ronaldo home.
But the warmth was short-lived.
As the game started, Manchester United, playing away, took the initiative.
In the first half alone, Sporting Lisbon scored two goals.
First, in the 8th minute, Dalot made a cross from the flank and accurately found Ronaldo.
C Ronaldo made a dunk with a header.
Manchester United easily won 1-0!
Immediately afterwards, Grealish on the left was not to be outdone, and he broke through the wing and passed Piccini.
Another quick cross.
C Ronaldo scored a goal.
After just half the game, Ronaldo went off the field to rest.
In the second half, Rashford replaced Ronaldo, while Ye Chen continued to rest.
Until the end of the game, neither side changed the score.
Ancelotti on the sidelines was very satisfied with the result of the game.
In addition to the smooth offense, the defense is also very solid.
Today's defense line is a combination of Rojo, Pepe, Smalling and Dalot.
The three midfielders are Rice, Herrera and McTominay.
Left winger Grealish, forward Cristiano Ronaldo, right winger Bowen...
It is definitely acceptable for Manchester United to be able to win the game smoothly with such a lineup.
The most important thing is that the team hasn't lost the ball yet.
On the other side, Manchester City also used most of their substitutes and beat their opponents 2-0 at home...
Combined with the 4-0 victory in the first leg, Manchester City has now become the undisputed number one!
The team returned to Manchester, and the new round of the league can't wait to come.
The Champions League matches will be played on the 27th, and the league matches will start on the 30th.
If there was no rotation in the last game, this league would have faced a huge challenge.
Fortunately, Manchester United's substitute lineup this season is also worth looking forward to.
At least in the group stage Manchester United can make such a large rotation.
The 7th round is in full swing.
Tottenham, who were hated by everyone in England, took the first step.
Although playing away, Tottenham Hotspur swept Huddersfield 4-0.
Star player Kane scored twice...
Although the championship has nothing to do with them, they still have a chance to compete for the top four.
Of course, the situation this year is even more tragic than last year.
Just like the snow in 2002, this year's fight for the top four will come earlier than ever before.
It's also more difficult.
As we all know, there are only four seats in the Champions League in the Premier League.
Manchester United and Manchester City will definitely occupy two, so the remaining two are extremely precious.
In addition to the remaining four of the BIG6, several strong teams also want to be troublemakers.
Of course, in addition to the top four in the Premier League, winning the Champions League and the Europa League can also go directly to the Champions League.
But this is more difficult than the top four in the Premier League.
In order to allow Asian fans to watch Manchester United's game more comfortably, the game was scheduled at 3 pm local time.
In this case, Chinese football fans will have to watch the game at 10pm.
Of course, this is definitely not stressful for domestic fans.
The Golden Week is about to begin on October 10st, and the night of September 1th is already a holiday.
If there is a Premier League match, many fans will definitely want to make a pilgrimage and watch the game.
Unfortunately, the upcoming Golden Week will be a national team match day.
Germany will also face their final two opponents in the European qualifiers, Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan.
However, the results of these two games will not affect Germany's qualification.
In this group, Germany has won all 8 games and has already secured the top spot.
The remaining teams are fighting for the second spot and trying to enter the second round...
Of course, these are not what Ye Chen needs to worry about.
As a player, there is only one thing he needs to do, which is to adjust his condition and give his all in every game.
Manchester United is unstoppable in the new season.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere within the team is also very good.
But if we want a good atmosphere, we have to continue winning.
And they also had to win big against Crystal Palace, which was defeated by Manchester City!
The Korean media has been making a lot of hype about this game.
The reason is that their international Li Qinglong transferred from Bolton Wanderers to Crystal Palace in 2015.
Ye Chen must know Li Qinglong.
In the 2016 World Cup qualifiers in his previous life, it was this guy who jumped high and beat Ren Hang to score the goal...
For a player who has been injured for nine months but can still play in the Premier League, he should be respected no matter what!
Today, Hodgson also put Li Qinglong in the starting lineup, playing as an attacking midfielder.
"Migu Sports! Migu Sports!"
Accompanied by Zhan Jun's passionate voice.
The players officially entered the field.
Today's referee is Mike Dean, nicknamed the North London Sniper, and one of the four blind men.
"Manchester United will continue with the 433 formation today."
"Goalkeeper De Gea."
"Cancelo is the left back, Maguire and Ake are the double center backs, and Valencia is the right back."
"The three midfielders are B. Ronaldo, Modric and De Bruyne!"
"Rashford on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo on the forward, Ye Chen on the right."
"In the last Champions League match, most of the players got a chance to rest. Ronaldo only played half the game against his old club. He scored two goals alone to help Manchester United win. He also refused to celebrate after scoring. It can be said that he is very loyal!"
"Crystal Palace lined up in a 4231 formation, with South Korean international Lee Chung-yong starting as a central midfielder."
"So this game can also be considered an Asian derby!"
"Goalkeeper: Hennessey..."
Following the pre-match introductions, players from both teams came onto the field.
In fact, Crystal Palace also has big-name stars.
For example, Benteke, who was scolded "fuck" by Zhan Jun, and Zaha, Ferguson's last signing.
But they all lost.
It is said that when people are unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in their teeth.
What can Crystal Palace do in the face of such an unfavorable situation?
Soon, Hodgson gave the answer...Defend your own sky!
But facing so many long-range cannons such as Ronaldo, Ye Chen, Modric and De Bruyne, can they defend?
"Hehehe, shoot them!" Seeing Crystal Palace retreating like a tide, De Bruyne, who had the ball, laughed and said to Ye Chen next to him.
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth twitched. He really shouldn't have let him read the English version of "Fighting Qi Turns into Horse".
I haven’t learned anything else, I just know how to laugh!
But then again, the English version of Medusa is really pretty...
Ps: Brothers, I personally don’t think it’s that easy for Uruguay to win against Canada. There are too many off-field factors for Uruguay, and Canada can make it to the final, so they must be very capable. I’m optimistic about 12/02, and I’m betting on 11.
