Chapter 271 Only More Victories!
So far this season, Arsenal and Manchester United are the two teams in the best form. Arsenal has remained unbeaten in 17 games in all competitions, setting a club record of 12 consecutive wins; Manchester United quickly rebounded after the slump at the beginning of the season, winning eight games in a row in the three major arenas, and scoring more than four goals in four consecutive games, setting a new century-old record for the club.
After the 27th round of the Premier League, both teams have 15 points, but Arsenal's goal difference is 19, while Manchester United, due to the recent crazy victory, leads Arsenal with a goal difference of and temporarily ranks first. This is also the first time in the past five seasons that the two teams have a dialogue as the first and second in the league. This game has also attracted rare attention in British football. French coach Domenech stood on the sidelines to watch with great interest, and even many London MPs are trying to get a ticket to the Emirates Stadium.
The course of the game was as evenly matched as the two teams' states. Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United took the lead, while Professor Wenger's Arsenal came from behind... The final scoreboard stopped at 3-3.
This is the 34th duel between Wenger and Ferguson. Previously, the professor had a slight lead with 14 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses. After this game, the gap between the two best coaches in the Premier League has not yet widened.
At the press conference after the game, Professor Wenger first talked about the game: "This game is definitely a celebration of artistic football... The whole world should stop and appreciate the match between Arsenal and Manchester United!"
Considering that Arsenal's equalizing goal happened at a critical moment when the game was about to end, the professor himself admitted that "it felt like we had won the game." The players gathered in a circle in the middle of the field to celebrate immediately after the game, which shows how important the result of the draw was to them. The draw not only allowed the Gunners to maintain their unbeaten record this season - they have been unbeaten in 18 league games since last season, but also in the past 25 games in all competitions, the Gunners have not lost a single game, which is a new record for the club.
Sir Alex Ferguson, on the other hand, stopped being polite and commented on the game with a little disappointment: "We lost the victory. When it was 3-2, I already thought the three points were ours. It was too hard to accept to lose the goal in the injury time. Arsenal escaped from hell."
However, Sir Alex Ferguson still believed that Manchester United had achieved a strategic victory, and publicly comforted Ricardo Ricardo, who was forced to score an own goal in the end: "Arsenal is an excellent team, but after Ricardo came on the court, he completely blocked their performance. We were the ones who controlled the game... Ricardo played very well. He scored a goal not long after he came on the court. That was a reflection of his talent, very quick reaction and just right technical moves... As for the own goal in the stoppage time, it can't be blamed on him. He originally intended to return to defense to help, but he didn't dodge Evra's clearance. It was a bit unlucky, but it really can't be blamed on him..."
Although the head coach publicly tried to excuse Ricardo at the press conference, Ricardo would rather not do it. What he wanted most was for people to stop talking about the matter and just pretend that nothing had happened. Or maybe a diviner could come and help him block this own goal from everyone's memory!
But it seems that the English Football Association did not want to do this, and deliberately changed Rooney's goal in the first half stoppage time to Arsenal defender Gallas who touched the ball and changed direction...
The FA's move was powerful, hurting four people at once: Ronaldo must be unhappy as he lost his assists, but that's not a big problem; Gallas must be unhappy, MMP, an own goal for no reason; Rooney must be unhappy too, damn it, his record of 7 goals in 8 games has come to an abrupt end!
But Ricardo thought he was the most unhappy one. When he first heard the news, he was stunned, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue: two crucial own goals in this game, the first and the last goal, one at the beginning and the other at the end, one in the first half stoppage time, one in the second half stoppage time, isn't this a sure win for Top Team? Is it counted every year, every season, every month?! I don't want to enjoy the treatment of that great team...
However, things have come to this point. As a spirited young man who is good at making trouble, Ricardo will not sit still and wait for death. After careful analysis, Ricardo came up with two key ways to break the deadlock: one is to continue to win big, preferably returning to the previous rhythm of scoring 4 and 5 goals per game; the second is to thoroughly establish the reputation of the Magic Quartet!
For this purpose, Ricardo reached a consensus with several other geese before the next game and came up with a new idea!
Ricardo hopes that this will help everyone quickly forget about the own goal. As for whether it will be repeatedly reviewed in the future, that is up to the media...

After the fierce match with Arsenal, Manchester United faced the challenge of the Champions League again in the middle of the week three days later. However, in this game, Manchester United played at home against Dynamo Kyiv, the opponent they had defeated in the previous round; and as long as Manchester United won this game, they could advance from Group F of this season's Champions League two rounds in advance!
Therefore, as the team was expected to qualify by winning all three rounds, Sir Alex Ferguson did not choose to start all the main players of the Red Devils who had been holding back in the weekend league. Instead, he sent out half of the substitutes. He probably wanted to concentrate the team's form in the next round of the league against Blackburn, which has also been in good form recently.
Compared with the away game against Arsenal, Manchester United replaced 5 starters in this game. The 20-year-old Simpson started as right back in the European game for the first time, and Brown was placed on the bench. Ferdinand, Hargreaves and Giggs, the 29-year-old birthday boys who played against Arsenal last weekend, also got a chance to rest. Pique and Vidic partnered as central defenders, Lizzie and Fletcher returned to the starting lineup, and Van der Sar wore the captain's armband.
Manchester United's starting XI in a 4-4-2 formation would be:
Goalkeeper No. 1: Van der Sar;
后卫线从右到左是25号辛普森，15号15号维迪奇搭档19号皮克，以及3号埃弗拉；
The central midfield combination from right to left is No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo, No. 16 Carrick who has returned from injury, No. 6 Fletcher and No. 17 Li Qi;
The two strikers are still No. 10 Rooney and No. 32 Tevez.
2007年11月7日晚上19时45分，欧洲冠军杯F组开始第4轮角逐，红衣白裤的曼联在梦剧场对阵蓝衣蓝裤的基辅迪纳摩。
After the game started, Manchester United took the initiative, especially Li Qi who returned to the starting lineup was particularly active, constantly waving for the ball and constantly trying to make trouble. Not to mention that after returning to Manchester from London, the scumbag Li abstained from sex for 3 days, just to get out of the story of the own goal as soon as possible, Li Qi decided to make a big move in this game!
In the 4th minute of the game, Li Qi made continuous breakthroughs on the left side, causing Markovic to panic, and then successfully created a corner kick. He then took a corner kick from the left side, with a good speed and landing point, but unfortunately Ronaldo missed the ball 7 meters in front of the goal! The latter volleyed with the outside of his right foot, but the ball went wide of the far post at the edge of the small penalty area!
It's outrageous! But Li Qi doesn't care and keeps going!
In the 13th minute, Li Qi and Rooney made a long-distance diagonal pass. After receiving the ball, the latter rushed to the corner of the penalty area and got rid of the defender and passed the ball to the back post... After sending the long-distance diagonal pass, Li Qi rushed forward at high speed without stopping. Just when the ball came to the corner of the small penalty area, Li Qi caught up with the ball and shot it! Unfortunately, it was blocked by the central defender Fedorov who was always alert and chasing back to defense!
Damn! What a pity! Come again, come again!
In the 22nd minute, Li Qi broke through the left again. He first moved the ball continuously and stunned the defensive midfielder Gioiane who came to defend. Then he passed the ball to Markovic on the wing. Unfortunately, when he cut into the edge of the penalty area, he was successfully tackled by Diakat and got a corner kick. Li Qi continued to take the left corner kick with a very good landing point, but this time it was Carrick who missed the ball. The header in the middle of the small penalty area was too straight and was directly blocked by the goalkeeper Shovkovsky who was waiting in the middle...
Damn! So weird? Try another pose!
In the 31st minute, Li Qi chose to change direction and cut inside, but was knocked down by Gusev and Gioiane, and then Manchester United got a set-piece in a good position. But this time it was Ronaldo who took the penalty. Ronaldo passed the free kick from the left side of the center to the penalty area, and Carrick, who had returned from injury, grabbed the spot.
The latter headed the ball 12 yards from the front point, and then the ball miraculously hit the back of Tevez's head as he was advancing unstoppably! Then the ball strangely bounced high and landed at the back of the goal. Then Pique, who was lying in wait at the far post, jumped high 5 meters in front of the goal and lightly pushed the ball, which had drawn a high parabola and fell into the net in the upper corner of the goal in front of him!
Manchester United is lucky to lead 1-0!
This... is really a magical goal, mainly because Tevez's assist method is very unique. It can be said to be ingenious and unique and not following the old ways!
However, this goal was not scored by the quartet, so the Magic Quartet held back and did not fight. Instead, they chose to dance with Pique and performed the usual goal celebration.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s only half an hour and there’s still an hour left in the game!
Li Qi continued to shoot, but the ball he passed to Ronaldo and Rooney was kicked away again... Just when Li Qi decided to change the ball, Rooney got there first!
Manchester United extended their lead in the 37th minute. Li Qi intercepted the ball from Gusev on the left side of the midfield, then ricocheted and drove straight into the penalty area. When preparing to cut into the penalty area, he passed the ball to Rooney in the middle, intending to make a two-on-one cooperation. After receiving the ball, Rooney pretended to hit the wall and passed it back to Li Qi. After deceiving Fedorov's center of gravity, he pulled the ball and turned around and poked the ball to Tevez who was unguarded on the other side.
The Argentine beast was not like the other two who frequently missed the ball. He took advantage of the situation and shot a curved ball with his right foot from 16 meters in front of the goal, hitting the near corner of the goal! Manchester United led 2-0!
Li Qi intercepted the ball, Rooney assisted, Ronaldo made the move, Tevez scored, and this time it was finally the turn of the Magic Quartet to appear!
However, I don’t know which stupid goose with no musical talent or common sense gave the suggestion, but the four of them actually did the conductor’s celebration together… Then seeing that this move was simple and easy to learn, the whole team gathered around and started to learn it together. The whole team was the conductor, but no one played an instrument…
Li Qi, with a twitching mouth, would never admit that he was the one who came up with this bad idea. It must have been Tevez! He looked like he had no artistic talent or musical common sense!
It was not until the 40th minute that the visiting team Dynamo Kyiv created a threatening attack, but after taking a corner kick, Rotan's shot from a small angle at the back point missed...
In the final period of the first half, Manchester United still had a chance, but this time Li Qi's pass to Tevez was selflessly passed by the latter to Ronaldo at the back post, and then the unlucky Ronaldo's shot was blocked out of the baseline again!
During the half-time break, the completely suppressed visiting team made two substitutions. Rebrov and Lin Kong came on as substitutes, replacing Gusev, who was repeatedly disciplined by Li Qi in the first half, and Rotin, who missed the opportunity.
Manchester United also made a personnel adjustment, replacing Van der Sar who had nothing to do in the first half with Kuszczak...
However, not long after Kushchak came on the court, he was given a task thoughtfully arranged by his teammates.
In the 5th minute after the change of sides, Gioiane dodged Ronaldo's defensive eyes, then made a low pass to the middle from the left. Lin Kong, who had just come on the field, faced Pique's sharp titanium alloy dog-eye rays, and shot a powerful shot from 17 meters in front of the goal, but was blocked by Kuszczak, who had also just come on the field!
Kuszczak felt the love from his teammates, who gave him a chance to perform as soon as he came on the field. You guys are such a bunch of animals! This was the first shot on target for the visiting team Dynamo in this game...
Afterwards, Manchester United slowed down the pace of attack, focusing on controlling the game, but still creating threats. Because Li Qi was unwilling to give up, he had not yet achieved the goal of a big win before the game, and he had to find a way to score again!
Finally, in the 58th minute of the game, Li Qi, who had worked hard throughout the whole game, reaped the rewards of his hard work!
In the positional attack, Carrick passed the ball to the wing, Li Qi knocked the ball with his heel and rushed forward at high speed. Evra, who was on the side, received the ball and understood what he meant, and sent a straight pass along the left. Li Qi dodged Markovic, who had been tortured, and then dribbled the ball directly to the bottom line, then made a shoulder fake to deceive Diakat's center of gravity, and cut into the small penalty area along the bottom line!
Facing the attacking Shovkovsky, Li Qi pretended to make an inverted triangle pass, lightly flicked the ball to a slight angle, and then made a straight shot that went straight through the goalkeeper's gate and into the net!
Li Qi scored +1, Manchester United’s lead +1, 3-0!
This time, Li Qi took the initiative to change his tactics, and asked the other three geese to perform a violin-playing celebration together... and then the teammates who gathered around to celebrate imitated it collectively...
Damn, damn, damn... Is there any tacit understanding? Is there any C number and A number?
Manchester United, who were leading by 3 goals, did not retreat and continued to press the visiting team. However, Li Qi had received the sad looks from the two masters of spitting the ball, Rooney and Ronaldo. I know, I know! Wait!
In the 65th minute, Evra and Li Qi cooperated continuously. The former broke through to the left corner of the penalty area and knocked the ball back. Li Qi received the ball and knocked it across the goal. Tevez missed the ball wonderfully at the front point!
Rooney, who was making a flanking run down the middle, was unmarked. He calmly stopped the ball 10 meters in front of the goal and shot with his right foot, then actually shot the ball directly at the goalkeeper Shovkovsky who had already surrendered and was lying flat on the ground!
The ball had not been cleared yet... and then Simpson, who followed up from the right, made another powerful shot, but the ball unexpectedly hit Shovkovsky who was lying on the grass again... The latter was stunned for a moment, then hugged the ball tightly in his arms.
This... is really puzzling! Why did they swing the ball at the goalkeeper instead of shooting at the goal? These two people can't have any weird sexual hobbies, right?
In the 67th minute, Manchester United made the second personnel adjustment, Tevez was replaced by Saha. Then Kuszczak was forced to work and once again saved Gioiane's low shot that was blocked by Ronaldo and Pique's eye defense...
Kushchak: +1 for this game's performance, +1 for teammates' confidence, +1 for mmp!
It seemed that Sir Alex felt that Kuszczak's performance was about enough, and he quickly used up the third substitution quota, with Pique being replaced by Evans.
Not long after this substitution, Manchester United changed the score again.
In the 76th minute, Li Qi, who had been silent for a few minutes while watching his teammates playing, switched to the right to attack. After bullying the defender Kaduri on the other side, he blocked half of his body and made a cross near the bottom corner of the penalty area.
Rooney, who was hiding at the back post, finally got some relief this time and didn't miss the ball. Rooney volleyed the ball with his right foot from 4 meters away from the goal, sending the ball into the away team's goal for the fourth time! Rooney scored +1, Manchester United's lead +1, 4-0!
Li Qi: Assist +1, Rooney's friendliness +1, assist bonus +1, Rooney's goal bonus transfer +1, Ronaldinho's sad look +1...
This time, Li Qi planned to join forces with the remaining two geese to unexpectedly change to playing guitar! Damn... Why are they imitating us again?
You bunch of bitches, can you still have fun? !
Didn't you agree to cooperate with us to make the Magic Quartet famous? If you keep doing this, return my precious edition of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD and signed poster!
