heir to the red devil

Chapter 477

Manchester United, which had a 3-1 lead in the first half, still did not give up their offense in the second half.

In this game, Manchester United's offensive was like a wave. They withstood Stoke City's fierce fighting in the opening stage and scored consecutive goals, completely suppressing the opponent's arrogance.

Manchester United's offense today is not inferior to that of the previous few days. Their offense has repeatedly threatened the opponent's goal and occupied a high possession rate.

Compared with the previous few days of this game, due to Kanter's appearance, Manchester United has one more defensive player and one less offensive player.Manchester United invested fewer troops in the attack, but even so, the quality of their attack has improved a lot.In the first few games, even if it was the double midfield combination of Kroos and Lampard, once the opponent counterattacked, both of them had to participate in the defense with all their strength, and even when attacking, they had to beware of the ball being cut off But today, with Kanter sitting behind him defending, the offensive players in the frontcourt completely let go of their hands and feet. They don't have to worry about being counterattacked by the opponent, and they don't have to worry about the lack of offensive and defensive troops after the ball is cut off.Therefore, with the addition of Kanter as a defensive midfielder, all frontcourt players can attack with all their strength without distraction. This is like shooting an arrow with a bow.

In the 69th minute of the second half of the game, in a steal in the backcourt, Kanter's super-large coverage area made the opponent unable to start for a while, and the ball was intercepted by Kanter during the dribbling process.Kanter drove the ball to the front with a big kick in the backcourt, and Lewandowski withdrew from the penalty area to return. Roll down into the net.

4 to 1, Manchester United scored like a wave!
The final score of this game was fixed at 4 to 1. Manchester United won the game and they gained a big victory.

Four days after winning Stoke City, on December 12, Manchester United ushered in the No.7 round of the Premier League, away to Southampton.

In this game, Jin Taige arranged a rotation lineup, and many substitute players got the chance to play.

Today's opponent Southampton's performance this season is still very eye-catching. Although they lost a large number of main players in the summer, their results this season are still very good.The offensive line formed by their new forwards Mane and Pellet has a strong impact and caused great difficulties for Manchester United's defense; The ability is also extremely strong, and he has scored zero opponents in the league many times this season.

In this game, Van Dijk marked Pellet tightly, so that he did not have any good opportunities; but the competition between other defensive players and Mane was very difficult.Mane is fast, smart on the ball, and his counterattack is very sharp, which has caused Manchester United's defense to suffer a lot.

Not long after the start of the game, Mane scored a goal to help the team lead the score.

But the hero of this game is not Mane, but Manchester United striker Icardi.

Icardi has performed very well this season. Although he does not have many opportunities to play as the main force, he has scored 10 goals in various competitions and is extremely efficient.

In this game, Icardi was in full condition in the penalty area. His shot conversion rate was extremely high. He only got six shot opportunities in the game, and he caught three.Mauro Icardi scored three fine goals and scored a hat-trick as United beat Southampton.The final result also satisfied Kintag very much. Manchester United defeated the opponent with a score of 3-1.

After the game, Kintag said proudly when facing the reporter's questions: "I said before that my team has no main players and substitutes, and every player is an important member of the team. I am very satisfied with the performance of the boys today, especially Mauro, he is now working hard towards a world-class striker, you must know that he is only 21 years old this year, and he has a bright future!"

After defeating Southampton, Manchester United ushered in a wave of three consecutive league victories, while No. 2 Chelsea in the league gained two wins and one tie. Therefore, Manchester United and Chelsea's league points expanded to 4 points.Behind Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal are still catching up closely without letting up.

After stabilizing the league results, Manchester United ushered in the Champions League group stage again.On December 12, Manchester United ushered in the challenge of Olympiacos at home.

At present, the Champions League group stage has progressed to the present, and the qualifying situation is very clear.Manchester United with 13 wins and 10 draw in five games ranked first with 4 points; Juventus with 4 wins, [-] draw and [-] loss ranked second in the group with [-] points; Olympiacos ranked third with [-] points with [-] win and [-] draw. Malmo scored only [-] points; the Malmö team, which only scored [-] point, was at the bottom.

Judging from the current situation, the outcome of the last game no longer affects the situation of qualifying for this group.However, the group's first place in this group has not yet been determined, and Manchester United and Juventus are still competing.

However, for Manchester United, the first place in the group is in their hands. As long as they do not accidentally capsize in the last game, even if they get a draw, they will be able to secure the first position in the group; but once Olympiacos overturns The Red Devils, and Juventus scored more than 2 to 0 in another game, then the first position in the group will be taken away by Juventus.

Jin Taige attaches great importance to the number one ranking in this group.This is related to the situation of the UEFA Champions League round of [-] draw. If they can rank first in the group, then the team will occupy a more favorable position, and the way forward will be more secure.

Therefore, in this game, Jin Taige put all the main players on the stage and tried his best to win the game.

But this game made Kintag a little annoyed. In the first half of the game, Manchester United played without fighting spirit. They didn't have many offensive opportunities today, and there were even fewer chances to shoot. Manchester United players seemed to lose their energy on the field.

But the opponent Olympiacos is different.On the one hand, they have already been eliminated from the group and there is no pressure; on the other hand, they were eliminated by Manchester United in the quarter-finals last season, so they are full of resentment towards Manchester United, so they play Manchester United with extra enthusiasm.

Towards the end of the first half, Olympiacos got a chance from a corner, and the chaos in the United penalty area was eventually poked into the net by midfielder Dominguez.

1 to 0, Olympiacos took the lead away!
Seeing the goal lost, Jin Taige slammed the coach's tent on the sidelines: "This group of boys, I will help them wake up during the halftime break!"
