Football: From Bundesliga debut

Chapter 220 Winning streak

After winning their first victory, Manchester United easily won the next two rounds of the league.

At this time, they also ushered in the time for their Champions League group stage draw.

At the end of August, the group stage of the Champions League was officially confirmed.

[Group A: Manchester United, Basel, CSKA Moscow, Benfica]

[Group B: Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Celtic, Anderlecht]

[Group C: Chelsea, Roma, Atletico Madrid, Karabakh]

[Group D: Juventus, Barcelona, ​​Sporting Lisbon, Olympiacos]

[Group E: Sevilla, Liverpool, Spartak Moscow, Maribor]

[Group F: Manchester City, Shakhtar Donetsk, Naples, Feyenoord]

[Group H: Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Dortmund, APOEL]

The grouping of the five Premier League teams is good, but whether they can qualify depends on their own ability.

Relatively speaking, the grouping of Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool can make them steadily qualify, and Chelsea will not be too bad. As for Tottenham, it will be relatively more difficult.

But these are just floating clouds for Zheng Lin, as long as he is good at himself, there will be no problem for the team to qualify smoothly.

Back in the league, Manchester United won Stoke City in the fourth round without any risk. At this time, they stabilized Manchester City with a goal difference of 2 goals and sat in the first position.

And they also ushered in the first round of their Champions League group stage.

Manchester United, who played at home, easily advanced to the next round with a score of 5-0.

Back in the league, they played at home against Everton who lost Lukaku. Their performance was still perfect. The score of 4-0 allowed them to win, but Manchester City's 6-0 away game allowed them to tie the goal difference.

In the third round of the English League Cup, Manchester United, who played for the first time, easily advanced to the next round 4-1 at home.

Back to the league.

In the league on September 9, Manchester City won the Crystal Palace 23-5 at home.

Although Manchester United won against Southampton in their away game, they scored 3 goal differences in this game, which also caused them to rank second.

After the end of the league, Manchester United moved non-stop to the second round group stage of the European war. They beat CSKA Moscow 5-1 in the away game.

When they returned to the league, they played against Crystal Palace at home, and they won a 4-0 victory.

On the contrary, Manchester City, who played away against Chelsea, did not keep their advantage, and ranked second with a goal difference, returning the top spot to Manchester United again.

In the eighth round of the league, a highly anticipated battle is coming.

Manchester United is a guest at Anfield to challenge the Red Army Liverpool.

This is also a battle that is seen as whether the Red Army can squeeze into the championship.

As far as the 7 rounds of the league have passed.

Both the Manchester City duo won their opponents by a big score, which means that both sides have a goal difference of more than 30. Such a terrifying offensive attribute makes people look stupid.

This is the end of the 7th round of the league, what are they all about!

So for this game, Klopp is also ready.

They lost to Manchester City 5-0 before, so in this game, they will find it back from their rival Manchester United at home.

Mourinho is no stranger to the Red Army Liverpool, but this time he made a provocative act.

He announced his starting lineup in advance, which is a provocation for Klopp, especially when he noticed that the midfielder in Manchester United's 433 formation is not Matic, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Who is this looking down on?
[Forwards: Rashford, Morata, Ashley Young
Midfielders: Kante, Declan Rice, Zheng Lin

Back: Theo Hernandez, Harry Maguire, Thiago Silva, Ashraf Hakimi

Goalkeeper: De Gea
Substitutes: Daryan Matic, Mata, Blind, etc.]

Didn't play Matic, was a rookie, isn't this provoking Liverpool?

Not to mention that it was a week earlier at this time, which undoubtedly ignited the emotions of Liverpool fans.

For them, Liverpool's strength can completely beat Manchester United, and at this time they are the first to announce the starting lineup. Isn't this a demonstration of the weak against the strong?

This is totally unbearable!

Regarding Mourinho's behavior, Klopp unceremoniously sprayed it back in an interview with reporters.

But former Manchester United captain Keane will not be used to it.

[There is nothing to say about this. We can announce the list in advance, so we are naturally prepared. What's the problem with this? Are you afraid of losing?I can understand! 】

Keane's words did not curse anyone, but they stabbed the sensitive hearts of many Liverpool fans a few times.

Regarding this behavior, Mourinho's explanation made Klopp angry.

[There is no special reason for us to announce the roster in advance, but we simply feel that it is time for Declan to play and perform. At least Daryan is behind us, so we are very relieved! 】

There is no swear word, it is a simple reason to let the rookie play, which undoubtedly annoys Klopp very much.

In response to such behavior, he thought for a moment, and then bluntly posted his starting lineup.

[Goalkeeper: Mignolet
Back: Joe Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno
Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Henderson, Erem Can

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane

Substitutes: Chamberlain, Sturridge, Solanke, etc.]

It is undoubtedly the best way to respond in the same way.

But for such a situation, Mourinho didn't take it seriously at all. In his opinion, Mane may be the only one worth noting in Liverpool, but with Zheng Lin guarding the right, he believes that Mane can't fly. .

As for Salah, Mourinho noticed him when he was at Chelsea before. The opinion he gave him at the time was that he could become a qualified starter at Chelsea at the time, but he could not become a star-level player.

So if you have a better choice, let it go.

As far as the current matchup is concerned, Mourinho still believes that Liverpool cannot break through Manchester United's midfield defense. Even if they break through, their defense can still solve them.

In Matic's words, Declan Rice has the potential to become an excellent midfielder, and sometimes he needs to experience it on the court, and at this time, Mourinho has set him in the double red meet.

In the case of Kanter and Zheng Lin teaming up, Rice's defense and the occasional pass he can send out are enough.

He has shown these in training, and the rest is to hope that he will not be nervous.

After all, the meaning represented by the Double Red Club is different from other competitions.

However, as Manchester United, they still have this mortal enemy that needs to be remembered, and that is Leeds United. Although they are currently in the British Championship, they will come back sooner or later.
