Chapter 519 Continuing to consolidate the top spot
Hearing McGuinness's question, Kintag frowned and said: "This year's Premier League is more intense, and the game is difficult to play. Judging from the current situation, Chelsea is the most stable team."

McGuinness said: "Tiger, in fact, if you hadn't been suspended for three games and hadn't won three games in a row, then the point gap with Chelsea must be more than the current three points."

Jin Taige looked at the players on the field, he seemed to be talking to McGuinness, but also seemed to be talking to himself: "In the next game, we have to hurry up and grab points..."

After defeating Porto, Manchester United's next game is also very urgent. After two consecutive Premier League games, they will usher in the final of the League Cup. This is the first championship that Manchester United can compete for this season.

But before that, what Kintag needs to do is to continue to consolidate the top position and strive to widen the distance with Chelsea.

On February 2st, the No.21 Premier League No.20 six-round match officially kicked off, and Manchester United will play away against Swansea.

In terms of starting player selection, both Scholes and Phelan suggested that Kintegger use a substitute lineup, but Kintag still insisted on his own ideas and sent almost all the starting players.

Their opponents in this game, Swansea, have been in hot form recently. At the beginning of the season, they had experienced a period of consecutive winless games, but since 2015, they have ushered in a wave of four consecutive victories, and they have won seven games. The Premier League is unbeaten, and their current ranking has surpassed Everton and Southampton, ranking eighth in the Premier League. If they can continue to maintain this state, then it is possible to fight for a place in the Europa League next season.

If a substitute player is used, Jin Taige really has no absolute certainty of winning.After observation on the training ground, although the main players fought fiercely against Porto in the last game, their physical consumption was not very serious because they were fighting at home. Good main players.

Although the main players were not in the best physical condition in this game, they had just won a big victory over Porto and had a great psychological advantage. Therefore, they had an absolute advantage from the beginning of the game.

The player who performed the best in this game was De Bruyne. His brilliance in the game even surpassed that of Lampard, the core of the offense, and he gave full play to the core role of organizing the offense.His one pass and one shot helped the team lead the score 2-0 in the first half.

Kintag was very pleased to see De Bruyne's wonderful performance.He has performed very well in the last few games. This season, the number of goals and assists has reached double figures, and he has become one of the most important offensive players in Manchester United's frontcourt.

Moreover, De Bruyne's cooperation with Lampard has become better and better recently. Compared with the habitual handover at the beginning of the season, De Bruyne has also been more confident in recent times, and he is quite general in handling the ball.

Kintag knew that it must have been something Lampard talked to De Bruyne that allowed De Bruyne to untie his knot and let go of his hands and feet in the frontcourt attack.

Having an experienced veteran player like Lampard in the team has a great influence on the team.Kintiger is already thinking about it. After Lampard's contract expires next year, he must find a way to let Lampard renew his contract with the team and continue to play for Manchester United.Even if his physical condition declines and he cannot maintain a high attendance rate, as long as he can be on the team, he will be of great help to the young people.For example, Carrick, Evra and Ferdinand, who are gradually losing their main positions, although their contributions on the field are getting smaller and smaller, but their guidance to young players on the training ground is what they left for Manchester United. Great wealth.

The final score of this game was fixed at 2-0, and Manchester United got the three points they wanted in the away game.

After this round of the league, the ranking of the Premier League standings has not changed much, but Kintag is very happy that Chelsea lost this round, they did not get points, although they are still ranked No.2, but The point gap with Manchester United has widened to six points.

Being able to score as many points as possible before the League Cup final will allow Manchester United to focus more on the League Cup final.

The next game is seven days later, and Manchester United has a temporary respite. Kintag adjusts the team's state and restores the players' physical strength, so that the team can compete for the first important championship of the season in the best state.

On the afternoon of February 2th, the No. 28 Premier League seven-round match was fully launched.This time Manchester United came to Newcastle's home court and played away against the "Magpies".

The last time the two teams met this season, it was just in time for Kintegger's suspension period, and Rafael was sent off unexpectedly in that game. Manchester United relied on Valencia's unsolvable world wave, and finally stumbled. It was just a draw.In this game, Jin Taige strives to win the opponent and continue to consolidate the top position.

Because the League Cup final will be three days later, Jin Taige rotated all the main players in this game and sent substitute players.

Newcastle's current situation in the league is not good. They are now ranked 15th, only two points away from the relegation zone, and their relegation situation this season is worrying.Newcastle coach John Carver is ready for this game, even though he is playing at home, but he has no intention of winning at all. His goal is simple - 1 point, 1 point is enough.

In this game, Newcastle retreated across the board, not even leaving a striker in front, which made Manchester United very difficult.

Several offensive players of Manchester United are also very uncomfortable: Icardi is defended by the opponent's two tall central defenders and cannot get the ball at all; Martial has almost no breakthrough space in front of him, and there are all people near the penalty area. His dribbling advantage Nothing was done; United's only threatening attack was the midfielder's long-range shot, Nainggolan, Carrick, Kroos and several other players, they took turns bombing Newcastle's goal, trying to score goals, but their Most of the long-range shots were blocked by the defensive players in the penalty area, without any effect.

At the last moment, Kintag replaced Lewandowski, Griezmann and De Bruyne on the field, and the team placed 8 players on the offensive line.But Newcastle still defended desperately, and the defense showed no signs of loosening.There were even boos throughout St. James' Park, expressing dissatisfaction with the players' negative attitude towards the game.But coach John? Carver remains unmoved, trying his best to fight for a draw.

In the end, the game ended 0-0. Newcastle happily scored a point. Got a point...
