Chapter 2076 The Club World Cup is held in China!!!

During the half-time break, Ancelotti asked the team doctor to give De Bruyne a comprehensive examination.

In the end, he was replaced directly and sent directly to film.

Although De Bruyne himself said it was okay, it certainly doesn’t hurt to be on the safe side!

This time it was not Modric who was substituted, but young player Bowen.

Bowen has performed very well in the League Cup recently and has also attracted the attention of Ancelotti.

Of course, Anpan also has a worry now - there are too many geniuses, and it seems that they all need competitions to improve them!

With this change, Ye Chen was arranged to the position of attacking midfielder, or in other words, he played in the position of number nine and a half.

The so-called number nine and a half is a player who has both excellent offensive organization and strong scoring ability.

At present, the most successful number nine and a half should be Baggio.

You should know that after Baggio went to Florence at the age of 18, he seriously injured the meniscus in his right knee and had to get 220 stitches!

But even so, he did not give up his career, and directly earned the nickname "Prince of Melancholy" with one and a half legs.

Of course, there are quite a few outstanding number nines in Italy, including Totti, Piero, Kaka, etc. In the Premier League, the more famous one in the past life was Liverpool's handsome man Firmino.

As the head coach of Serie A and a super coach who trained Kaka, Ancelotti saw unlimited possibilities in Ye Chen.

Everyone should know that there is a tactic in Ancelotti's arsenal called the Christmas tree formation.

Manchester United now plays with both wings flying together, penetrating the wing, and using various combinations of wing and center.

But Ancelotti thought of the tactic of three defensive midfielders, two attacking midfielders and a single striker!

Three defensive midfielders: B Ronaldo, Modric and Herrera.

Double attacking midfielder: Ye Chen and De Bruyne.

Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo!

With this formation... Ye Chen and De Bruyne can move to the side when necessary.

The main feature is endless variations!

And in this case, Manchester United's Rashford can serve as a substitute for Ronaldo, which makes up for the problem of insufficient striker substitutes.

Anyway, Manchester United has a lot of games, so there is no need to worry about not having enough appearances.

Of course, Ancelotti's idea is not a whim...

Entering the Champions League knockout stage in the second half, if Manchester United continues to use the same tactics, they will be studied thoroughly in minutes.

This is when a change of tactics is needed.

Many times, when you are in trouble, you have to change, and change will lead to success.

But as a top coach, Ancelotti has obviously started to prepare for a rainy day...

The second half of the game has started again.

Leading 3-1, Manchester United slowed down the pace and passed the ball back and forth in the opponent's half.

In fact, this is not about letting Newcastle go, but about luring the snake out of its hole.

61 minutes 55 seconds.

Rojo took the ball on the left and passed it directly to Grealish who was on the side.

Grealish took advantage of the situation and kicked the ball to Bowen at the far end.

But the ball was cleared by the opponent's defender Manquillo with a header.

Although he couldn't deal with Ye Chen, he had no pressure in dealing with young player Bowen.

Of course, after the first half, Manquillo's score is currently 5.8!

In the first half, they were completely defeated by Ye Chen.

Ake on the outside got the ball and passed it to Bowen who was retreating to receive the ball.

"Boom!"

Bowen is comfortable with the ball.

Sensing Manquillo's position behind him, he first pretended to turn to the left, but just as the opponent also moved to the left, he suddenly turned to the right!

"Bowen used Ye Chen's special move, and Ye Chen turned around!"

"Oh!"

Before Zhan Jun finished his explanation.

Bowen then made a powerful shot...

The football turned into a cannonball and flew straight into the far corner of the goal.

Elliot in front of the goal moved quickly to the right, but the distance was too close!

"Shh!"

The football flew into the goal like a cannonball!

Manchester United 4-1 Newcastle!

After scoring the goal, Bowen swooped to the sidelines and celebrated passionately.

The Manchester United fans at the scene were finally happy!

Shouting with excitement!

Newcastle's players kept shaking their heads...

I felt a little resentful towards Shelvey.

You got carried away after scoring a penalty, and now... you're going down, but we're the ones suffering!

But the game isn't over yet.

4 to 1 is not the end!

67 minutes 29 seconds.

Bowen, who switched positions with Grealish, came to the left, created an angle and sent a cross with his left foot!

Clark in the middle is still waiting for the football to fall.

But a figure descended from the sky like a divine soldier!

"Boom!"

It's like a tomahawk dunk on the basketball court.

He smashed the ball directly into the goal.

Elliot in front of the door didn't react at all!

The goal was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

One game, five goals!

Ye Chen has two, Ronaldo also has two, and Bowen has one.

In the end, Manchester United beat Newcastle 5-1 at home and easily won three points.

However, Manchester City, who had played the game earlier, also beat Leicester City 2-0 away from home, and the two teams are still in a close race in the standings.

The key battle of this game was between Arsenal and Tottenham at home. Arsenal led their opponents 2-0 in the first half. In the end, Tottenham, who fought back, hit a post and a crossbar and were defeated at the Emirates Stadium.

For a while, the situation of the championship and the top four became confusing...

Of course, this situation also makes fans look forward to the Manchester derby in the 16th round.

That game was Manchester United's last match before participating in the Club World Cup.

As the Premier League kicks off its Christmas express, Manchester United, as last year's Champions League champions, will participate in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.

Only the winner can enter the final and compete for the Club World Cup championship!

I remember that the Club World Cup was later reformed and turned directly into the "Club World Cup", which was quite popular.

Unfortunately, Manchester United did not have the opportunity to join the competition after the first expansion.

After all, at that time, Ten Hag was still feeling proud of winning the FA Cup.

The victory over Newcastle still caused some public opinion after the game.

Shelvey's foul was criticized by major media, and Manchester United also appealed against the foul and requested an additional penalty.

The English Football Association also imposed an additional penalty.

This can also be considered a statement.

After the game, Manchester United's main players returned to the team the next day for recovery training and tactical courses.

Manchester United will face Cristiano Ronaldo's parent team Sporting CP in the Champions League next.

After four games, Manchester United's situation is not optimistic.

A record of two wins and two draws puts them in second place.

Only by winning this game can they compete with Sevilla for the top spot in the final round.

But Ancelotti rotated the starting lineup again.

The rotation must start in November, otherwise we won’t be able to hold on in December.

Manchester United has a total of nine games in December, and there are 12 days in December.

Among them, Manchester United also had to fly to the Chinese capital.

According to FIFA rules, the FIFA Club World Cup will be held in Japan for two consecutive years, then held twice in countries outside of Japan before returning to Japan.

According to the original track, the competition was held in the United Arab Emirates.

But as Ye Chen's influence grows, the Chinese national football team is also on the right track.

FIFA also did a favor and held the Club World Cup at the Bird's Nest Stadium in the Chinese capital.

This will help promote football better and expand the Asian market...

As the world's number one sport, FIFA has taken great pains to expand into the Chinese market.

In the previous life, I even thought of "two extra places in the World Cup"...

Although it has not been confirmed, don't doubt FIFA's determination to make money from China.

After all, the biggest sponsors of several European Cups and World Cups are Chinese companies, and these advertisements are all made with real money!
