heir to the red devil

Chapter 102
On November 11th, Manchester United played away against Real Sociedad in the fourth game of the Champions League group stage.At the Royal Sociedad's Anoeta Stadium, Manchester United encountered the stubborn resistance of the Real Sociedad.Manchester United attacked with all their strength, but there was no good way to take advantage of the densely defended Royal Sociedad, and today the Royal Sociedad played a lot of defensive actions, and the referee's whistle was relatively loose, which made Jin Taige very depressed.At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 4-0.

Looking at the confused appearance of the players on the field, Jin Taige said to himself: "The situation of this game is very bad..."

During the intermission, Kintag found that most of the players were panting heavily. After this period of continuous games, the players were very tired. Kintag encouraged the morale of the players, but gained little.

The second half was the same as the first half. Real Sociedad completely gave up attacking. In many cases, even Griezmann retreated to the half-court defense. This made Kintag gnash his teeth: "Can these Spaniards have some dignity in front of the home fans? "

But no matter how Kintag attacked and how the fans booed everywhere, Royal Sociedad firmly defended.

Kintag even replaced Vidic with Mauro Icardi and added another striker to strengthen the attack; then he replaced Evra with the more impactful Alonso and Nani Giggs, who was physically weak.

Three consecutive substitutions and adjustments had some effect. Van Persie and Rooney each got a chance to shoot, but they were both saved by the brave goalkeeper Bravo.

With dense defense and a brave goalkeeper, Jin Taige can't do anything about Real Sociedad.

The final score of this game was 0 to 0. Manchester United only scored 1 point in the away game and returned to Manchester regrettably.

On the plane back to Manchester, Kintag was calculating the current points situation, he beat his forehead lightly, feeling extremely depressed.

Whether it is the league or the Champions League, Manchester United's points situation is very bad.

The first is the Champions League. After being tied by Real Sociedad today, the Champions League group stage has gone through four rounds. Leverkusen has three wins and one loss, with 9 points, ranking first in the group; Manchester United has two wins and two draws, with 8 points , ranked second in the group; while Shakhtar Donetsk had one win, two draws and one loss, with 5 points, ranking third in the group; Real Sociedad had three losses and one tie, and ranked bottom in the group with 1 point.

Originally, when this group came out, everyone thought that Manchester United had drawn a good lottery, and the three opponents in the group would not pose too much threat to him, but after four rounds, Manchester United only ranked second in the group, and with The No.3 Shakhtar Donetsk is only 3 points away, and the situation of qualifying for the group is still not secure.If there is another accident in the remaining two games, then Manchester United will be in danger of being eliminated.

Compared with the results of the Champions League, Manchester United's current league ranking has continued to decline.

The Premier League has played ten league games. After the recent three-game losing streak against Southampton, Stoke City and Fulham, Manchester United has 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, accumulating 14 points. This result is not very good In this way, it has almost caught up with Manchester United's worst start in the history of the Premier League.Manchester United has now slipped from No.2 in the previous league to fifth in the league.The teams currently at the top of the standings are Manchester City (27 points), Liverpool (23 points), Chelsea (19 points) and Arsenal (16 points).And Everton, ranked No.6, is only one league point less than Manchester United.

Jin Taige, who is aiming to defend his title, is in a critical situation. His team is already 13 points behind the rivals in the same city!

In the Premier League commentary program on Sky TV, Rahman was teasing Manchester United: "Manchester United lost again. Oh, of course I am not talking about the just-concluded Champions League group stage. Manchester United performed very well in that game. Real Sociedad, scored a precious 1 point in the away game, and kept their second advantage in the group. But in the league, they have fallen from No.2 all the way, and now they have fallen out of the Champions League. Fifth in the league, ten games With 14 points, I will definitely check Manchester United's historical records after the show is over to see if they have had a worse league start than this."

And Raman's old partner, Morris, who is also a die-hard Manchester United fan, argued: "Manchester United did not perform well during this time, but they have experienced the devil's schedule in a row, and they also experienced a national team game in the middle, so the team It is also worth understanding what happened in the current state.”

Raman nodded: "Morris, you are right. When losing to Southampton in the 8th round of the Premier League, Kintag told reporters that the team was affected by the FIFA virus; At the time of Tok City, Kintag said that the players performed very well, but they were very unlucky; and after the 9th round of the Premier League lost to Fulham, Kintag explained that the reason for the team's loss was It was caused by the recent continuous fighting."

Speaking of this, Raman pointed to the schedule behind him: "If Manchester United suffers a losing streak due to various objective reasons, it is understandable, but let's take a look at Manchester United's three recent opponents, the mid-level team Southampton , the relegation teams Stoke City and Fulham, let alone Manchester United try their best, even if Manchester United rotates all substitute players, they should not lose three consecutive games."

When Morris heard this, he opened his mouth, and couldn't find a suitable reason to help Kim Taige defend for a while. He could only admit: "Manchester United's recent situation is really bad. They have encountered some difficulties."

Raman corrected him: "It's not some difficulties, but a lot of difficulties. If Kintag's record is so bad, I think he may become the first Premier League coach to be dismissed this season."

Morris is still full of hope for Manchester United: "If the next game can be won, I believe Manchester United's morale will be greatly improved."

Raman looked at his opponents in the next game and shook his head: "It is too difficult for Manchester United to win the next game."

The TV program was broadcasting. At this time, the general of Manchester United flew back to Manchester from Spain on an evening flight. Kintiger told the players that tomorrow we will give everyone a day off and everyone should have a good rest.

The next morning, Kintag got up early, and after he had breakfast, he left home for the Carrington training base.On the way, Kintag habitually bought several sports newspapers at the nearby newsstand, and he took the newspapers to the training ground.Today's training ground was empty, Jin Taige sat on the coach's bench, flipping through the newspaper in his hand.

He just flipped through a few pages, and suddenly frowned: "Huh? There are a lot of scolding?"
