Chapter 998 Luck
Old Trafford.

Although Manchester United led 1-0, the situation on the field was very bad. Aston Villa's crazy counterattack in the second half made Manchester United's midfield almost out of control.

Aston Villa has already booked a place for relegation, and the season is over in 2 months, but they have only accumulated 14 points and only won 3 games in total.

But it is also because of the team's relegation that Aston Villa is united and united. There is no way. Whether they can stay in the Premier League next season depends on their performance in the next two months. The team was interested and performed poorly, so they could only follow Aston Villa to play in the British Championship.

Therefore, after the first half was calm, after Griezmann broke the deadlock in the 58th minute of the second half, Aston Villa, who was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, started a crazy counterattack. One point, but he cares about whether his competitive state will be positively evaluated.

In the 67th minute, Clark's ferocious midfield shovel overturned Herrera and Lingard together. Although they got a yellow card, both Manchester United players had to go to the sidelines for medical treatment.

"If Aston Villa can maintain such a strong fighting spirit in the first half of the season, relegation will not be difficult for them." Zhan Jun commented: "Unfortunately, it is too late now..."

"In fact, Aston Villa is the only Premier League team that has beaten Manchester United this season." Zhang Lu said with emotion: "But Delph and Benteke, the two heroes of that game, both transferred before September. To put Aston Villa on the verge of almost every game in the first half of the season."

"Lingard and Herrera are both on the sidelines for treatment..." Zhan Jun changed the subject, "Let's see if Sun Wu will play... Although Manchester United's official website and Sun Wu himself insisted that he was not injured, it depends on the situation. It doesn't sound quite right."

"Maybe there is a small injury." Zhang Lu guessed solemnly, "At least it won't affect walking."

Mortensen, who was explaining on the spot, had different opinions from his colleagues in China, "Hahaha, Best still hasn't got off the coaching bench... He walked into the locker room today except for halftime, and sat there all the time!"

Dr. Swell made an OK gesture to the coach bench behind him, indicating that the two of them are fine.

Sun Wu breathed a sigh of relief, there were no midfielders on the bench, and if anyone was injured, Phil Jones or Bernardo Silva could only play as a central midfielder.

Because of the previous national team competitions, Sun Wu made a bold rotation in this game, such as Mane, Salah, Alderweireld, Falcao, Kante, etc. The national team played 180 minutes before. None of them were able to start, or even enter the big list.

Of course, the most important thing is that Sun Wuxue hid herself, and kept her butt firmly on the coach's bench.

He believed that although Guardiola did not come to Old Trafford today, he must have sent someone to watch him.

This is indeed the case. During the intermission, the management staff of the stadium entered the locker room and told Sun Wu that the former Arsenal captain and Arteta, who entered Guardiola's coaching staff this season, appeared in the stands.

But until now, although Sun Wu restrained his urge to play, he had to make adjustments. The situation on the court was too passive.

"Sun Wu still didn't get up, but Manchester United made a substitution." Zhan Jun was a little disappointed, "Salah replaced Harry Kane, Mane replaced Bernardo Silva, two very fast players The wingers came on at the same time and pushed Griezmann into the centre-forward."

Sun Wu reached out to high-five Harry Kane and Bernardo Silva. Although their performance was average, they all completed their tasks. Throughout the season, it is necessary for the team to use the most economical way at certain moments. Under 3 points.

Sun Wu's adjustments are very targeted. Aston Villa's central defender combination is Lescott and Clarke. This pairing is quite good, but the two wings are much worse. Big mouth.

In the 75th minute, Salah forcibly broke through from the outside on the right, and was pulled down by the opponent's left defender Sissoko on the line of the penalty area. The latter turned two yellows and one red and was sent off.

In the 78th minute, Salah singled out Lescott on this side and then rubbed the pass with his left foot. Although Griezmann missed the point, Mane volleyed the goal with his left foot after stopping the ball with his chest.

"This is Mane's fifth league goal this season. The Senegalese winger is in good form after his comeback." Mortensen praised: "Guardiola must be disappointed. Best didn't play, but Manchester United still scored 5 points. "

As soon as the goal was scored, there were heavy gasps from the Manchester United bench and the coaching bench. It would be unacceptable to lose points against Aston Villa.

Sun Wu took into account that he was playing against Aston Villa, who was the vice squad leader of the league and had already been relegated in advance, so he made Xuezang's own decision, but he didn't expect that the opponent was not at all cowardly...

If he lost points by playing tricks, then Sun Wu would really be ashamed to see others.

In the 90th minute, Mane forced a breakthrough on the left side of the penalty area and was tripped by Clark. Griezmann made a penalty kick and the score was fixed at 3-0.

This is Griezmann's 20th league goal this season. He and Harry Kane are currently Manchester United's top scorer, tied for second place on the scorer list after Diego Costa.

It was a risky game, but in the end luck was on the side of Manchester United. Sun Wu still had lingering fears when he shook hands with the opposing coach. If he stays in the position of Manchester United coach, he may have to learn from Ferguson in 30 years. Instead of getting a pacemaker...

After passing this hurdle, Sun Wu walked into the dressing room, his eyes fell on the schedule on the wall. The next two periods and six games will largely determine how far Manchester United can go this season.

There are two Champions League knockout games against Bayern Munich on April 4 and April 6, and there is a Manchester derby before that.

4月24号足总杯半决赛对阵利物浦，之后4月27号和5月4号的两场欧冠半决赛。

If you want to win the Triple Crown, these six games... I dare not say that they won all of them, but Manchester United can't afford to lose even one game.

In the office at Manchester City's training base, Guardiola squinted at Sun Wu, who was walking freely on the screen... Is this guy injured? ?
"Anyway, when I went to see him, my ankle was wrapped..." Patrick said blankly, "But the specifics are unknown. Rolf and Mike Phelan were very dissatisfied when they saw me..."

"It's hard to say." Torrent smacked his lips, "Best likes to play these little tricks the most."

Seeing that Patrick remained silent, Torrent said in turn: "The situation was so passive just now, and Best didn't let himself play... at least it should be a minor injury."

"It's hard to say." Patrick retorted at this time: "It wasn't until after 3-0 in stoppage time that Manchester United used up the last substitution. Mane and Salah were replaced before, but Best always left a substitution. The quota... this may be reserved for himself."

Guardiola, who was already suspicious in his heart, listened to the discussion between the two assistants, and his mind became even more confused...
