Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 374 New Record 2
"I won't let them set a shitty new record on my territory!"

After dropping these words, Roy Keane hurriedly left the pre-match press conference.

The game between Manchester United and Sunderland is not only about whether Manchester United can create a new winning streak, but another super highlight is that Ferguson and Roy Keane, the mentor and apprentice, met for the first time in the league.

After leaving Manchester United, Roy Keane joined the Scottish Celtics, and he announced his retirement directly after the contract expired.

Since then, he has served as the head coach of Sunderland. In the first season of leading the team, he led Sunderland to the Premier League.

It's just that in the first season of the Premier League, their results were not very good. After 18 rounds, they only achieved 3 wins and 4 draws, ranking third from the bottom in the standings and falling into the relegation zone.

At the beginning of the season, in the 5th round of the league, Sunderland was a guest at Old Trafford. It was supposed to be a good drama of Roy Keane returning to Old Trafford, and the result was against Liverpool in the 4th round. In the game, Roy Keane was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and was suspended for insulting the referee, and missed the reunion of master and apprentice.

In November 2005, Roy Keane left Manchester United with anger and regret. He and Ferguson officially broke.

If so, it is not difficult to understand why Roy Keane would say such words in the pre-match press conference.

After Roy Keane made the decision to retire in May 2006, Ferguson held a farewell match for him at Old Trafford, and the two settled down.

The reason for saying this is because Roy Keane has inherited Ferguson's winning spirit.After more than ten years of experience, it is not difficult to find Ferguson's shadow in Roy Keane's coaching style. For him, no matter who the opponent is or how powerful the opponent is, what he pursues is victory.

On the court, there are only opponents and no friends.But off the court, friends are always friends.

Before the game, in the player tunnel, all Manchester United players sent blessings to the old captain Roy Keane.

Ferguson and Roy Keane embraced in the player tunnel, which infected many people.

This harmonious scene dissipated as the game started.

Sunderland's performance was very bad, and Ferguson was very sympathetic to his disciples.But the football spirit of pursuing victory, Ferguson will not give up three points.It doesn't matter if you say that he is trying to create a new bullshit record, anyway, he thinks so too, breaking Arsenal's record is a very cool thing.

So in this game, he also played the main role.

Above the front line is a strong combination of Rooney and King Dong.

In the midfield, Yu Liang partnered with Carrick, Ronaldo and Nani on the two wings.Yu Liang's outstanding performance has successfully squeezed Scholes on the bench.This is the cruelty of professional football.

On the back line, Ferdinand and Vidic partnered in the center, and Brown and O'Shea were separated on both sides.

In the goalkeeper position, Kuzzak replaced Edwin van der Sar, who performed poorly in the previous game.After continuous fierce battles, the veteran also needs to rest.

After picking the side, Manchester United took the lead to kick off.

Yu Liang received Rooney's knockback in the midfield, and just when he adjusted to pass the ball, he was directly knocked to the ground by the Sunderland striker.

Foul when you come up?
Yu Liang looked at the referee warning Sunderland's striker, and his mind was a little dazed.Although Yu Liang's professional football career is not very long, he has never seen such a football player.How can there be someone who doesn't kick the ball and kicks people directly.

Looking at Roy Keane who was applauding on the sidelines, Yu Liang guessed that Sunderland had really got Keane's true biography.

No matter how you play, anyway, first of all, you can't lose in momentum.

Sunderland's performance met Yu Liang's conjecture.

Their tough and tenacious style gave Manchester United some headaches.In the opening ten minutes, Manchester United failed to organize an effective offense.

As predicted by the media before the game, Sunderland will cause trouble for Manchester United at home.

Although Sunderland is at the bottom of the Premier League, it is third from last.But they did not play badly at home, with three wins and two draws in eight home games.

But this is limited to causing trouble, they do not have the strength to pull Manchester United down.

After adapting to Sunderland's tough style of play, Manchester United's offense gradually emerged as a threat.

In the 20th minute, Brown cut in from the right and sent a through pass. Rooney quickly got rid of the defender after receiving the ball in the frontcourt. He kicked a long shot from the right side of the penalty area and hit the bottom corner of the goal, helping Manchester United take the lead.

Manchester United's goal directly crushed Sunderland's confidence.

No matter how Roy Keane moves on the sidelines, it still doesn't help.

Taking advantage of the chaos in Sunderland's defense, Manchester United scored two goals in the last 15 minutes of the first half, rewriting the score to 3-0 before the end of the first half.In the 30th minute, King Dong received a cross from Rooney and shot into the net, scoring the eighth Premier League goal of the season.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Manchester United, which led by three goals, slowed down their offensive rhythm.

No matter what, you have to give the old captain a face, and you can't let him lose too badly.

Although Manchester United slowed down their offensive rhythm, Sunderland, who had lost confidence, still failed to play a decent offense.Even Roy Keane's constant deployment of troops on the sidelines failed to change this situation.

The game became uneventful. In the 86th minute of the second half, a Sunderland player sent a penalty kick in the penalty area. Saha, who came off the bench, made a penalty kick and rewritten the score to 4-0.

This score was maintained until the end of the game. Manchester United defeated Sunderland 4-0 and won 16 consecutive victories, creating the longest winning streak in the Premier League and the longest winning streak in team history.

There were bursts of applause immediately in the Stadium of Light, which was a blessing from Sunderland fans to Manchester United.

Roy Keane was in a bad mood after losing the game, but he still gave his blessing to his mentor Ferguson.

It is gratifying to win 16 consecutive victories, but at the end of the game, Yu Liang couldn't laugh.

In the first 20 minutes of the first half, he did nothing under the tough defense of Sunderland players.If it weren't for Rooney's goal that crushed Sunderland's confidence, he didn't know if he could persist until the end of the game.

Standing on the sidelines, he applauded blankly and thanked the fans who accompanied the team. It seemed that this big victory had nothing to do with him.

"Hi buddy!"

Roy Keane patted Yu Liang on the shoulder.

He has never been very optimistic about this young man who once took over his mantle.

For no other reason, the body is too thin.

Even though Yu Liang has achieved success in the Premier League, in Keane's eyes, it is still not enough.

"Hi, Captain!"

Yu Liang said hello, he only thought that Keane and his former teammates came here to catch up.

But what he said next surprised Yu Liang a little.

"Boy, as a footballer, you have to take a hit. You're a man, you have to be aggressive on the pitch, you're supposed to tackle your opponent, and learn how to take advantage of the confrontation. Remember , football is a man's game! I hope today's class can leave a deep impression on you!"

Saying that, Roy Keane patted Yu Liang on the shoulder, turned and left the court.

Yu Liang, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at Roy Keane's back, but he didn't understand what Keane meant.
