Chapter 217
In the middle of the week, the first full-scale battle of the UEFA Cup group stage started.

Mann is playing against the Bundesliga team Nuremberg at home. For this game, Mann is naturally bound to win.

Nuremberg won the German Cup last season and was still sixth in the league, playing well.

However, once this kind of small club gets a good result, it will immediately be poached by a strong team.The Croatian midfielder Banovic was poached, and the strength of the Nuremberg midfielder was naturally greatly reduced.

In the past Bundesliga, the Slovakian combination of core players Mintal and Vitek was also in a bad state. In this context, the Nuremberg team is naturally not favored for the UEFA Cup group stage.

When the match day comes, the Manchester United players are all out. Ronaldo and Vardy continue to partner up front.

Modric ambushed behind them, and Ilham Jiang was replaced by Poyet as a midfielder, partnering with Rakitic.

This is not surprising. Yilihamujiang has received Keane's inheritance and has the strength to play as a midfielder.

The atmosphere at Boundary Park was warm, and the fans set off a wave of people as soon as the game started, cheering for the team.

After the opening, the Manns attacked first.

The ball was passed to Ronaldo several times. Although the alien is over 30 years old, his condition is getting better and better. He really can play football and pick up girls.

I saw a feint at his feet, then a sideways swipe, after catching up with the ball, another dunk, then rushed into the penalty area, and volleyed vigorously from the penalty spot. Although the ball was blocked for a while, it still flew towards the goal.

Fortunately, the opponent's goalkeeper Schaefer stretched out his hand and hit the ball out of the bottom line.

Ronaldo patted his forehead regretfully. This time he didn't find the right angle and was disturbed by the opponent's players. Otherwise, the goalkeeper would not be easy to pounce.

The home fans still applauded. The team's thighs showed unparalleled strength at the beginning.

In this game, Ronaldo also played with the captain's armband. He also worked very hard, trying to prove that he is indeed the leader of the Mann people.

Ronald more or less ran to take a corner kick, and several central defenders of the Manchester United rushed up.

On the sidelines, Poyet was also a little surprised. He didn't arrange for Ronaldo to take a corner kick, but since Ronaldo has done this, he can't stop him.

Ronaldo kicked the ball up, and the ball flew over the Nuremberg penalty area. Pique jumped high in the front point but headed into the air, and the opposing player Reinhardt also headed into the air. In the crowd, Vardy stretched out his foot and kicked the ball Enter the gate, 1:0!

"Ouch!"

Vardy rushed to the sidelines excitedly to celebrate the goal. This is simply the king of missing, and the ball was done well. Of course, Ronaldo's pass may not be specifically for Vardy.

Ronaldo also ran over, picked up Vardy and threw him on the ground, and then pressed him up. His teammates followed, and they all played the game of stacking arhats.

This wonderful opening really made people feel comfortable. When Poyet saw this scene, he also knelt on the ground and raised his arms and shouted.

Jia Yi in the stands also applauded and celebrated. Now this Manchester United team has indeed been fully formed, with all kinds of coordination and playing very skillfully. Don't think this is a mistake, but there are no good players and good running positions. Pick up the leak?
The game continued, and after the re-kick-off, Nuremberg quickly pressed up.

Mintal took the ball and wanted to pass Rakitic, but was intercepted by Rakitic. Mintal immediately fouled. He is very smart. If he makes a foul like this, he will not get a card, and he can quickly end the opponent's counterattack.

The referee came over and warned Mintar to stop doing such things.

Mintal smiled and spread his hands, and ran away.

After leading by one goal, Mann played more calmly, using the ball to control the situation.

As the brain of the midfielder, Modric plays a very obvious role. It is estimated that Real Madrid also regrets it. Now that Modric is playing so well, if he knew it, he would definitely not let him go.

In the 14th minute, Modric suddenly made a through ball, Ronaldo flashed past him, the opposing player was also stunned, and the ball rolled past his crotch.

The means by which Brazilian players excel are so complicated that opponents can also use them.

After passing, Ronaldo caught the ball and got rid of it horizontally. He did the same move again, but the opponent still couldn't defend it.

Ronaldo broke into the penalty area and pushed a more tricky angle this time. Schaefer had no choice but to watch the ball enter the net, 2:0!

Ronaldo smiled and ran to the corner. He felt really good, and now he is helping a low-level league team continue to rise. He feels a sense of accomplishment.

He didn't feel this way in the rich family in the past.

Maybe many years later, looking back, Ronaldo will find that the years in Manchester are the most comfortable for him.

This goal also established the victory, two goals behind, Nuremberg has been powerless, their strength is not as good as the Manchester United, and it is an away game, so they are naturally at the mercy of others.

Before half-time, Modric scored from a distance to extend the score to 3:0.
Modric also kicked smoothly, this kick is really good.

He now has better physical fitness and greater long-range shooting power, and he also likes this way, so Modric is still the world's top midfielder.

Otherwise, the Croatian national team will not call him into the European Cup qualifiers.

In the second half, the Manchester United continued to control the situation. In the 78th minute, Hulk, who came off the bench, singled out the opponent's entire defense line. He scored a long shot from the top of the penalty area and finally locked the score at 4:0. The Manchester United beat Nuremberg at home. Get a good start in the UEFA Cup group stage.

After the game, Poyet was very satisfied with the team and spoke highly of Ronaldo.

"Yeah, we won again, it's a good start.

Ronnie is still an alien, his breakthrough has no solution, and he has always been the top player in world football.

The team's overall control is good, and of course the opponents are also playing well, but we are better. "

In the other game of the group, Alkmaar easily defeated Larissa 4-0 at home and also got off to a good start. Zenit had a bye.

Now it seems that Mann and Alkmaar will definitely qualify, and Nuremberg and Larissa are likely to be out.

For this round of the game, the media also paid close attention to the Manchester United. As a Championship team, the Manchester United defeated the Bundesliga team. The English media have belittled the Bundesliga. The level of the middle and upper reaches of the team.

British and German football is a feud, and this kind of belittlement is in line with their mentality.

In fact, the main reason is that Nuremberg's strength is not enough. It is a bit embarrassing for the Bundesliga team to come out to participate in the European war.

If it is changed to Bayern, Stuttgart, etc., it will still be quite powerful.

In this round, Bayern defeated Heerenveen by a big score. The strength of the Bundesliga giants is still very strong.

After the first round, it's hard to see what's going on. It's really too early to predict the champion.

However, the qualifying situation of the group is still basically developing in a direction that is beneficial to the strong team, and the weak team is basically playing soy sauce and going through the motions.
