The atmosphere at Old Trafford today is beyond imagination. The whole stadium is flying the flag of Manchester United. A Red Devils fan has shown a fanatical side.

After the 37th round, Manchester United occupies the leading position in the standings. They have been leading from the first round of the league until today. It can be said that from the first day of the long-distance running of the league, they have been letting the teams behind them one after another. despair!

Now they are 4 points ahead of the second-ranked Chelsea. If they can win this game, Manchester United will declare their title defense a round ahead of schedule!Usher in the three consecutive league titles of Manchester United in the Premier League era!

This is definitely a remarkable achievement, but no one is sure that Manchester United will be able to win the game today. Many Wigan Athletic players have already stated in interviews before the game that they will not let Manchester United easily reach the podium!

Manchester United started 451 today.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Smalling, Bailly, Bailly, Valencia.

Midfield: Mata, Lingard, Cui Zhen, Herrera, Pogba.

Forward: Lukaku.

Today's Manchester United is the strongest Manchester United in the lineup. This game may be the last challenge for Manchester United before the Champions League final. If they cannot win today, it may have a negative impact on their mental state, because they put winning the championship on the last day. wheel.Instead of winning the title at Old Trafford.It should be something unexpected.

Wigan Athletic started 442 today.
Goalkeeper: Walton.

Defenders: Byrne, Cheyene, Elder, Byrne.

Midfield: Marce, Powell, Sam Morsey, Powell.

Forwards: Grieg, Jacobs. "

Basically, there is no team in the Premier League that dares to come to Old Trafford to play a double striker formation, but this depends on the situation.

Just like today, Wigan Athletic has a double striker, but their offensive and defensive system is actually an arrangement of 8 people defending and 2 people attacking. That is to say, they did not let the midfielders actively participate in the offense.

Wigan Athletic defended from the back line and the midfield line from the beginning, compressing the space in the dangerous zone, and trying to avoid being penetrated by Manchester United's through ball as much as possible.

But Manchester United's offense was still not too difficult to stop.In the 2nd minute of the game, Cui Zhen got rid of midfielder Powell laterally in front of the penalty area, then swayed the ball deftly in front of Sam Morsey and continued to swing the ball laterally to open the shot. He seemed to ignore Wigan Athletic's defense and directly An iconic long-range shot was blasted!

The ball flew into Wigan Athletic's goal with a powerful spin.Goalkeeper Walton broke out in a cold sweat. He made a mistake in his prediction from the very beginning. It seems that Cui Zhen's long-range shot is more like an S-shaped trajectory!
boom!
The football hit the crossbar and bounced back!
"Cui Zhen almost broke the opponent's goal for Manchester United at the beginning of the game! What a pity, his wonderful long shot was rejected by the crossbar! Listen, the battle hymn of Cui Zhen is already being sung in the stands of Old Trafford! Manchester United fans' love for Cui Zhen has reached the peak recently, Cui Zhen, the rookie king last season, has made a leap this season, and now he has to admit that he is already a superstar!"

Cui Zhen ran to the midfield without changing his expression and began to defend.

Wigan Athletic's two midfielders defending Cui Zhen, Powell and Sam Morsey looked at each other helplessly, as if they both sighed tacitly in their hearts.

When Cui Zhen first arrived last season, everyone thought he was a rookie, and he would definitely not be able to adapt to the fierce confrontational atmosphere of the Premier League, so he fell into a loss in the birthplace of modern football.

But when the second season came to the final stage, Cui Zhen had not only adapted to the Premier League, but also became stronger here, playing with ease on the court, and even scared many defensive players of the Premier League team!
Can't resist!
Wigan Athletic played the traditional British long pass, and did not consider the midfield line to advance forward.

In the 6th minute of the game, Mata fired anti-aircraft guns from a long distance from the outside.

Three minutes later, Cui Zhen made a pass from the right side of the penalty area to the back of the goal, and Pogba grabbed the arch and shot just a hair away from the goal.

In the 16th minute of the game, Lukaku started a solo raid after receiving Cui Zhen's pass from the left side of the midfield.He took advantage of the rhythm difference of the ball to change direction. Midfielder Marse and defender Byrne were successively broken by Lukaku's change of direction and acceleration. However, when turning into the penalty area in the middle, Lukaku's shooting space and angle became very small. He returns the ball to the top of the penalty area.

Powell and Sam Morsey, who were closely guarding Cui Zhen, followed each other like shadows, but they did not expect Cui Zhen to choose to miss the ball when the football rolled.

The two watched in astonishment as Cui Zhen rushed towards the penalty area without looking back, but the football rolled to the side and rear.

When the two looked back, they saw Lingard running up from behind with a restrained momentum!Lingard volleyed the ball directly, and the football flew directly into the penalty area, but was blocked by defender Elder with his body.

Cui Zhen ran forward just now, knowing that Lingard would follow up in the back row and take a long shot. He rushed into the penalty area to look for a second attack opportunity.

At this time, the football blocked by defender Elder just bounced in front of Cui Zhen. He subconsciously blocked the ball with his stomach, and rushed past Elder while running forward, directly forming a single-handed fight. Potential!

Goalkeeper Walton abandoned the goal and rushed towards Cui Zhen. Cui Zhen flicked his ankle, and he kicked the football lightly to the lower left corner of the goal!When the football rolled into the goal, Cui Zhen was about to run to celebrate the goal, but he saw the referee running from behind to signal with both hands that the goal was invalid!And whistled Cui Zhen for a foul in the penalty area.

"Cui Zhen's goal just now was disallowed! Why did the referee call for a foul? Oh, he punished Cui Zhen for a handball in the penalty area. It was suspected of handball, but we saw through the slow-motion playback that Cui Zhen's hand did not touch the football, which should be a misjudgment!"

Mourinho was on the sidelines with one hand on his hip, and with the other hand he gestured indignantly towards the fourth official in protest.

Cui Zhen smiled and exchanged a few words with the referee in the court. He is not a powder keg that explodes at one point.

The situation just now was really difficult to judge. After all, his hand was very close to the part where the football hit the side of his stomach, and his movements were very coherent, which inevitably gave people the illusion of his handball.

After friendly negotiations with the referee, Cui Zhen regained his serious expression and walked towards the backcourt.

The Manchester United fans in the stands at Old Trafford refused and started booing the referee.

The boos at Old Trafford not only put pressure on the referee, but also on the Manchester United players. The intense reaction of the fans reflected that they were also very nervous.

Manchester United needs to score and needs to win this game!Lock in the league championship and create a glorious era of the Premier League comparable to Manchester United!

In the 24th minute of the game, Mata broke through Powell from the right and passed the ball diagonally to the center. Cui Zhen used his heel to return the ball directly in front of Sam Morsey. Lingard kept the ball behind him and rushed up with his feet. Bow directly sent a through ball with strong penetrating power.

The ball rolls past midfielder Sam Morsey so fast Sam Morsey doesn't even know it, the ball goes straight through the narrow gap between defenders Byrne and Elder, and Lukaku comes through Elder and Cheyene slanted behind Elder in the middle, half-turned at the top corner of the small penalty area and pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Walton had already surrendered, but when the football was about to roll into the goal, right back Byrne came to the rescue and cleared the football on the goal line!

"Byrne has done a great job! He destroyed the goal that Lukaku was determined to win! If he is one step late, Wigan Athletic's gate will be declared lost!"

The players at Wigan Athletic felt a little nervous. They didn't expect that Manchester United's offense is now stronger than when they played against each other in the first half of the season!In fact, the most obvious change is not Cui Zhen, because Cui Zhen's toughness last season has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but after further improvement this season, he gradually surpassed the level of first-class players.

The most important thing is Lingard's growth!He organizes and dispatches in the midfield and backcourt, and he has the style of a general in his grasp of the situation on the field. The young and mature can be alone!
Lingard is now confident.I am no longer as trembling as when I first became the main force, and occasionally my mentality is walking on eggshells in the game.

He is very grateful to Cui Zhen in his heart, in many cases.It was Cui Zhen and Lukaku who stepped forward in key games, saved the team, and also covered up the mediocre performance of many teammates, so that they would not stand on the cusp of media reports. In that case, the psychological pressure must be very high huge!
At the same time, Cui Zhen's stronger image and sense of presence in the frontcourt forced opponents to invest more in Cui Zhen's marking, further weakening the restrictions on Lingard.Let him have a relaxed environment to grow steadily.In addition, Lingard exchanged ideas with Cui Zhen in training, and Cui Zhen told him his experience without reservation, and led him in the game.Only then did he not only gain a firm foothold in just one season, but was also hailed as a member of the supernova by the outside world.

Maybe Cui Zhen was chasing after Lukaku in the past, but now, one of Lingard's motivations to move forward every day is to chase Cui Zhen!

Seeing that Manchester United played a bombardment attack but failed to score, Cui Zhen suddenly walked back to the backcourt and said to Lingard: "Change the rhythm."

Lingard immediately understood.

Next, he and Cui Zhen interacted in passing the ball in the midfield, slowing down the pace of the game, reducing the frequency of passing and cutting moves, and Wigan Athletic players will inevitably be affected.

if not?
Manchester United controlled the football, and the offensive players did not move around at a high speed. As a passive defensive side, did they run around blindly?

About 4 minutes later, when Cui Zhen saw that the opponent's rhythm was almost static, he ran from the midfield to the front field.Lingard passed the ball to Pogba on the left. Pogba poked the ball to Cui Zhen who was nearby with his toe under the close marking of Marseille.

Cui Zhen pulled the ball to the right while stopping the ball.Powell in front of him was a little frightened and didn't dare to rush up to grab it, Cui Zhen suddenly kicked over the top and sent it straight!

Bang!To the surprise of the Wigan Athletic defenders, they sensed a marked change in the rhythm of the game.

Cui Zhen's pass suddenly speeds up, and Mata's inward cut from the side like a sharp knife is a very obvious acceleration effect!
Mata rushed behind defenders Elder and Byrne, and Cui Zhen's over-the-top pass arrived as expected. He had no room to stop the ball, and directly took off and headed the ball to the middle.

Cui Zhen's pass combined with Mata's wind-like inside cut has already driven Wigan Athletic's back line to retreat behind.

And because Manchester United control the change of pace.At this time, Wigan Athletic was a little caught off guard, and they obviously felt that they could not keep up with Manchester United's attack speed!

This is the wisdom of the rhythm controller in the game!Change the overall rhythm to make the opponent's defense rhythm unable to keep up!
