Chapter 455 Ups and Downs

It has been said that there are no heavy games in Manchester United's unbeaten record, and it is not convincing enough. After winning Liverpool, this voice has become much quieter.

Especially Manchester United's tenacious defense throughout the game, and the last-minute offense, Ye Tian's second goal.

Manchester United this season seems to be more terrifying than last season!

Except for the number of goals scored, Liverpool is superior to Manchester United in all other statistics!
But Manchester United won the final victory!

Throughout the game, Manchester United firmly played the routine of defensive counterattack, even though they had top finishers like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ye Tian in the team.

Ye Tian's versatility in the game really made all the other coaches in the Premier League covet.

After all, there is such a player who is capable of playing any position, and who has done a very good job, and has no physical problems. It is much more convenient for them when they are in formation.

Because at any time, they can play more and less!
In the match against Liverpool, Manchester United's second goal, Ye Tian's game-killing goal, was such a basic routine.

If Ye Tian is removed, Manchester United's offense will be the same as other teams in the Premier League, or even worse.

In terms of back row insertion, Klopp's Liverpool did better than Manchester United. In terms of defensive counterattack, Conte's Chelsea can also be evenly matched with Manchester United. In terms of possession?Guardiola's Manchester City has begun to throw out the other teams in the Premier League!
In particular, Manchester City's strength in recent rounds of competition has a faint tendency to overwhelm Manchester United.

After the running-in of the first three rounds of the league, Guardiola's team started an incredible September.

They won Liverpool with 5 goals, Watford with 6 goals, and then another 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

Entering October, they first beat Chelsea by one goal, and then won Stoke City 10-1 at home in this round of the league.

More importantly, there was only one penalty kick for Manchester City's goals, and all the others were sports goals!
This shows that Guardiola's team has matured!
At present, they have 7 wins and 1 tie in the standings, only two points away from Manchester United, which has won all 8 games.

Judging from this situation, if other teams can't improve quickly, the champion of this season will be produced between the Manchester duo.

……

For the conjecture of the league title that the media said, the whole Manchester United team basically dismissed it.

Because the current league has only been going on for two months, it is too early to say these.

Juventus had a history of getting off to a bad start in the early stages of the league before, and then winning consecutive championships all the way. Who can guarantee that such a thing will happen in the Premier League?
This year's Tottenham are also very good!

Burnley can't be underestimated either!
Mourinho tried his best to downplay the pressure on the players from the title of the league championship, asking them to work hard for this goal one game at a time, instead of starting to look forward to the unattainable victory after winning a few games.

After the game against Liverpool, Manchester United did feel a little flustered.

This caused some problems for them playing away at Benfica.

This is the third round of the Champions League group stage.

In the first two rounds of Group A, Manchester United scored big victories against Basel and CSKA Moscow, but in the third round, when they challenged Benfica in an away game, although they had an advantage in the first half, they did not gain well.

Martial kicked a penalty kick in the 15th minute. If the opponent had not sent an own goal before the end of the first half, neither side would have scored.

Mourinho lost his temper in the dressing room.

It wasn't until the intermission was almost over that this almost wild locker room performance was over.

Watching the players walk out of the dressing room angrily, Faria smiled and shook his head at Mourinho.

"Ruiy, there is something wrong with our team," Mourinho said to Faria when no one else was around.

Faria patted him on the shoulder: "The ups and downs are inevitable. All we can do is adjust."

The two looked at each other and smiled, walked out of the player tunnel and entered the second half of the game.

In the second half of the game, the Manchester United players played a bit higher.

Ye Tian completed a hat-trick and gave Ibrahimovic two assists.

With this divine half-time performance, Manchester United swept Benfica away with 6 goals.

In Group A, after three rounds, Manchester United had 9 points, Basel had 6 points, CSKA Moscow had 3 points, and Benfica had 0 points.

Although Manchester United also won by a large score, unlike Manchester City, Manchester United's goals are concentrated on individual players, while Manchester City's goals are relatively scattered.

This means that if these individual players of Manchester United suffer injuries, or are frozen on the field, or are in poor condition, then Manchester United's performance will plummet.

As for Manchester City, as long as the status of not all players falls into a trough together, they have attack points that Guardiola can use.

This idea is used by other teams in the Premier League.

Against the Manchester duo, the teams also have their own solutions.

For example, when playing against Manchester United, focus on pinching Ibrahimovic and Ye Tian.

After all, Ibrahimovic is old and his athletic ability is not too strong, so it is enough to focus on encircling and suppressing Ye Tian.

As for Manchester City, if you think you have no choice, then practice your troops.

Thus, Manchester United encountered a challenge.

Huddersfield Town coached by David Wagner wants to challenge Manchester United at home.

Behind every amazing team is an amazing coach.

In the 14-15 season, Huddersfield was still a relegation team in the Championship. David Wagner took over halfway through, and then they succeeded in relegation. They also won the No.5 Championship in the following season.

The first and second places in the English Championship will be directly promoted to the Premier League, and the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth will play play-offs to compete for a promotion place.

As a result, the magical Huddersfield won the last Premier League ticket as fifth in the British Championship.

This season, they are of course aiming at relegation.

2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, currently ranked 12th, good results.

Generally speaking, when such a team encounters a top-ranked team in the league, it should be based on gaining experience, but David Wagner doesn't think so.

Because Manchester United went to Portugal to participate in the UEFA Champions League on the 19th, and came to Harbin for the game on the 21st, their players were exhausted. Moreover, he watched the Manchester United game and found that the state of the Manchester United players did not seem to be right.

So, he decided to try to score 3 points.

For Manchester United, Ibrahimovic and Ye Tian sat on the bench, while McTominay, Mata, Lingard and others took the lead.

In the 23rd minute, P. Jones was injured and joined Bailly, Fellaini and Carrick on the injury list. Lindelof replaced him.

In the 28th minute, Huddersfield scored the first goal!
In the 33rd minute, they scored the second goal!

Scored two goals for Manchester United in the half, which has never happened this season!

At the beginning of the second half, Ye Tian came off the bench, and then he turned the tide again, with a pass and a shot to equalize the score, and Rashford made the final decision to overtake.

Manchester United won this away game in a thrilling manner and maintained a complete victory in the league.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Manchester United's state is falling into a trough.

And as a cousin in the same city, Manchester City is another energetic 3-0.
Aguero has a penalty kick, and the other two are sports battles.

Although the points gap between the two is still two points, Manchester City is obviously stronger.

The team relied too much on Ye Tian, ​​and Mourinho saw it and was anxious.

But Faria didn't care, he said:

"As long as Ye Tian is in good condition, everything will be fine."

Mourinho doesn't think so. Modern football is a team sport, and the days when one person dominates the game are gone forever.

His statement was confirmed.

Seven days later, in the final game of October, Manchester United hosts Tottenham.

In this game, Ye Tian was still brave and sent out two assists, but Tottenham Kane was also difficult to stop, and he had many helpers.

In the end, Manchester United was tied 2-2 at home by Tottenham.

And Manchester City scored another victory in the away game.

In this way, the two have the same points, and because of the goal difference factor, Manchester City took the top spot in the league.

　Dichlorvos: There is no such thing as being unreasonable and not forgiving in the world, only being unreasonable and lingering on you.
