Manchester United legend

Chapter 159

The first league game in February was Manchester United's home game against Derby County. Manchester United took the initiative in the whole game and went on the offensive. If it weren't for the Derby County goalkeeper who played at his best level and saved the shots of Yorke, Solskjaer, Stam and Scholes respectively.

But even so, York still opened up the opponent's defense like a tin can and won a 1-0 victory for Manchester United.

The only regret is that Giggs was injured in this game, which will have a big impact on Manchester United's formation.

Manchester United, which has won six consecutive victories, is still unsatisfied. They decided to give the fans a goal extravaganza.On February 1999, 2, Manchester United challenged Nottingham Forest as a guest.

In this game, Manchester United sharpened their knives and went on a killing spree. The forwards scored crazy goals and completely smashed Nottingham Forest into a sieve.

This 8-1 victory also created the record for the largest score in the Premier League this season.

In the face of such a humiliating score, the head coach of Nottingham Forest felt as if his underpants were ripped off on the spot, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a piece of tofu and smash his head to death.

In this game, the Manchester United team was mainly against the guest, and the attack line was fully fired. The three forwards showed their true qualities as shooters and arranged all the goals.

The starters Yorke and Cole once again showed their tacit understanding and their keenness in front of the goal. The two scored two goals each, helping Manchester United lead 4-0.

And the more shocking scene happened in the second half. After Solskjaer came off the bench, he killed wildly. From the 80th minute to the end, he scored 4 goals in a row with his head kick! .

This big victory created a miracle, the baby-faced killer created a Premier League record of scoring 4 goals in one game!At the same time, he also created the record for the fastest time to score 4 goals in the history of the English Football League!
This is Solskjaer's heroic poem. Although he has become a substitute this season, his brilliance is no less than the main striker of any team in the Premier League.

This is a glorious movement for Solskjaer. These four goals will become an unforgettable memory for Manchester United fans, and it will also become a great interlude for Solskjaer to reach the peak of glory that season!
The sharp-edged Solskjaer is Manchester United's indispensable key killer!Read and analyze the game on the bench, sharpen the blade during training and warming up, and suddenly show off once he comes on the field. He is omnipotent in killing the enemy and trapping the enemy.

The FA Cup lore Liverpool has already made the fans crazy for him, and this big four has made the fans mesmerized!
After the big victory over Forest, Manchester United ushered in the biggest opponent in the league title-Arsenal.

Manchester United, who played at home, had to send Bromquist to play on the left because Giggs was absent, and the 442 lineup was the main lineup that Ferguson has become more and more familiar with since this season.

At the beginning of the game, facing Wenger's 4141, Manchester United's aggressive style of play suppressed the opponent, and forced the opponent to use fouls to stop Manchester United's rapid advance. The old Arsenal defense line could not keep up with Manchester United's speed.

Soon, they suffered a lot-the high-speed attack strategy that Ferguson emphasized before the game received miraculous results!

United had the best chance of the first half when Johansen dribbled decisively into the box and was knocked down by Parlor - a penalty!
It's a pity that Yorke, who didn't wear shooting boots at all, missed the penalty!

Not only that, but then Cole missed another single-handed opportunity. He turned and shot on the right side of the penalty area close to the corner of the small penalty area. Unfortunately, the angle was too straight and Seaman blocked it with his body!

After withstood Manchester United's offensive round after round, Arsenal's midfield also launched a quick attack.

Relatively speaking, the combination of Jost and Butt in the middle of Manchester United still leaves a lot of space for the skilled Arsenal players. African players like Kanu are indeed extremely good at the ball.

As a result, the situation on the field became sensitive: Manchester United continued to take the initiative, but Arsenal's counterattack was a hidden threat.

Forty-eight minutes after the start of the second half, Kanu suddenly launched an attack in the frontcourt. He dribbled the ball all the way in front of the Manchester United penalty area.

Manchester United, who had the advantage but fell behind, launched more offensives, once compressing Arsenal's defense to an infinitely flat level.

In the 60th minute, Beckham moved from the center to the left, Philip Neville made a cross, Cole jumped high in the penalty area and scored his 100th league goal, helping Manchester United equalize 1-1.Although Manchester United continued to attack violently in the remaining 30 minutes, York once again wasted a sharp direct pass from the left, and a 6-yard shot in front of the goal also slipped away.

Arsenal's defense is not without mistakes, but Manchester United failed to seize the opportunity.In the end, the two teams drew 1-1 with one point each.

The draw against Arsenal did not stop Manchester United, and the missed three points made Manchester United even more bloodthirsty.

On February 2th, Manchester United played against Coventry's home stadium, Highfield Road, defeating the opponent with one goal and taking all three points.

The comeback Giggs responded to Beckham's right wing cross in the 78th minute, and then scored the only goal with a point shot.

In this game, Manchester United finally began to change their fortunes and got the shelter of fate. In stoppage time, Cogby dribbled the ball past Schmeichel and was about to succeed in an empty goal, but Borg made a clearance in front of the goal line.

The consecutive away trip ended, and Manchester United returned to host Southampton.Ferguson began to let Jost, Cole, Stam, and Irwin rest the main players. In the end, Manchester United with a semi-main lineup played very hard. Until the end of the second half, Jost, who came off the bench, scored the first goal for Manchester United.

By the end of February, Manchester United continued to stay at the top of the standings, with 28 points in 57 league rounds, 4 points ahead of Chelsea, which ranked second with one game less, and 8 points more than Arsenal, which had two games less.More importantly, Manchester United's state after the New Year is really excellent. No team in the league has the confidence to say that Manchester United can have an advantage!

"The Red Devils roared, and all the teams were silent! Where Manchester United passed, there was no grass." This is the most appropriate portrayal of Manchester United by the reporters at that time.
