Chapter 392 Before the Great War

This defeat suddenly made Manchester United feel a huge threat from behind. Not to mention being pulled three points away by Arsenal, they were quickly chased by Liverpool and Chelsea behind them. Liverpool is now only one point away from Manchester United, and Chelsea is only three points behind.

It can also be seen from this how fierce the competition is this year, and the consequences of a loss are extremely dire, not to mention that Manchester United overturned on the relegation team, which should not have happened.

But it’s too late to say anything at this time. Now Manchester United has to prepare for the next game. Three days later, Manchester United will play against Sporting Lisbon at Old Trafford.

Although Manchester United scored directly from Ronaldinho's free kick in the first half to help the team equalize the score, the situation of the tie has not been improved.Until the last moment of the second half, Carlos Tevez, who came off the bench, ran alertly and succeeded in anti-offside after receiving a pass from Yunfei.At the same time, it also helped Manchester United qualify from the Champions League group stage two rounds ahead of schedule. In the next game, Manchester United can at least focus all their attention on the league, and the Champions League games can be played on the bench in rotation.

Next, Manchester United ushered in two consecutive home games, facing Fulham and Derby County respectively.

And there is also good news in these two rounds. In the last round, Arsenal was defeated by Middlesbrough in the away game and lost three points.

This loss is similar in nature to Manchester United's loss to Bolton. Middlesbrough is also a team deep in the relegation zone, so this loss is also a pity for Arsenal.

Behind them, due to the inexplicable bloodbath of Liverpool by Reading, Chelsea successfully surpassed Liverpool and returned to the third place in the league. They are only three points away from Arsenal and Manchester United ahead.

Next, Manchester United will usher in two tough battles. They will first go to the away game to challenge Rome again, then fly to Liverpool, and go to Anfield for a double-red match.

For the away game in Italy, Yunfei was on the bench. Recently, Ferguson has deliberately started to rotate the entire team. The team is about to usher in a very critical December. At this time, the rotation is done well in advance, which is very helpful for whether it can survive the intensive schedule during this period of time!
Anyway, the team has already qualified from the UEFA Champions League group stage, so there is really no need to play with all the main players. Obviously, the game against Liverpool has received more attention from Ferguson.

But despite this, Ferguson still hopes that the team can show a better performance in this game against Rome.

In fact, after the start of the game, the two teams played very anxiously. Manchester United almost all came off the bench, except for Rooney, while Roma naturally played with all the main players.

So after the opening, although Manchester United played very tenaciously, they were still unknowingly controlled by Rome to take the initiative in the game.

"In Rome's state, we can't score. It's terrible to want to break our goal!"

Yunfei said casually, and the teammates on the side also nodded. Facing the defense line with all substitutes, Roma showed some difficulty. This obviously also shows that Roma's state may not be very good recently.

In fact, Roma definitely showed their best performance in recent years this year. So far this season, Roma has only lost one game in the league.

When the group of people on the bench were chatting first, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Manchester United, who had been at a disadvantage on the scene, took advantage of a set kick and Nani assisted Pique to open the scoring!

This goal suddenly changed the situation of the two teams on the field. No one thought that Manchester United, who had been passively beaten, would score the first goal, and this goal also directly changed Ferguson's original plan to make a direct substitution.

The next game will basically be Roma's crazy half-time offensive and defensive drills. Roma can't afford to lose this game. If they lose this game, their original good qualifying form may also undergo some changes. After all, the next game will go to Ukraine. Roma is not sure that they will be able to win!

Finally, Roma's continuous efforts paid off. In the 74th minute of the game, Mancini received a wonderful pass from his teammate and shot a cold shot. He caught the goalkeeper Kushchak, who came off the bench in this game, by surprise and could only watch the ball into the net.

After scoring this goal, Roma also felt relieved, and the offense also lost some of its previous fierceness, while a draw for Manchester United was enough, so the last two teams shook hands at Rome's home court, and basically the two teams qualified together.

For this result, Ferguson is quite satisfied. Although he did not win, for such a team with almost all substitutes, it is already very good to be able to draw with the opponent in the away game.

In the locker room after the game, Ferguson also specially praised everyone's performance, thinking that everyone played very well against a strong opponent, but Yunfei sat on the bench for this game and didn't even call him to warm up, which made him speechless.
