I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 18: The End of the Nightmare

In the locker room of the visiting team at St. Mary's Stadium, Ye Su affirmed the team's performance in the first half.

In general, the team made almost no mistakes in the first half, the only mistake was when Vidic was assassinated, Ferdinand and Evra should not have stopped the game without the referee to protest.

If Ferdinand could follow Vidic to entangle Lambert, and Evra quickly retreated until the danger was lifted before protesting, Southampton's goal would not have appeared.

However, Ye Su didn't bother with this matter too much, he just mentioned it. This incident involves the three veterans of the defense. They are all experienced veterans, and they will all leave after the season.

For the second half of the tactics, Ye Su did not make any changes. The team performed well in the first half. As long as they continue to play like this in the second half, Southampton will not be able to hold on sooner or later, and the victory will definitely belong to Manchester United.

Ye Su has this confidence, because he knows very well that Manchester United, which is in its heyday, must be stronger than Southampton. In addition, he still has cards to act on Manchester United players. As long as there are no accidents, it is expected to overtake the score and finally win.

………………

Ye Su's judgment was correct, because shortly after the start of the second half, Manchester United overtook the score.

Although in the second half it was still Southampton who took the lead and got the first chance to shoot in the second half. But Lambert's long shot from outside the penalty area did not pose much threat to the Manchester United goal guarded by De Gea, and was easily blocked.

In the 54th minute, Nani, who broke through with the ball, was once again violated by Wanyama, helping Manchester United win a free kick five yards outside the penalty area. Because this free kick is still on the left, Ma Tower took the penalty. The Spanish midfielder shot with his left foot, the ball drew a wonderful arc, bypassed the wall and entered the upper right corner of the goal.

2:1, Manchester United overtook the score as they wished.

A minute later, Manchester United missed the opportunity to seal the victory. At that time, Southampton's attack was intercepted by Phil Jones and Carrick in the midfield. Manchester United immediately played a quick counterattack. Ashley Young broke through from the left and sent a cross, but Rooney in the penalty area received Professor Young. The pass header went over the bar.

Immediately, the Southampton team, unwilling to fail, made substitution adjustments, replacing Jack Cork with teenager Gallagher to strengthen the offense.

However, the strength of Manchester United is stronger than that of Southampton after all. The saints who strengthened their offense fell into a more passive state. They were frequently grabbed by Manchester United and then played a quick counterattack.

Ye Su's steal card after defeating Hull City in the last game played a great role in the game. Southampton's offense was intercepted by Manchester United time and time again.

In Manchester United's continuous quick counterattack, Southampton paid a big price. Wanyama, Luke Shaw and many other players were given yellow cards.

………………

Seeing being counterattacked by Manchester United consecutively, and his players also paid the price of several yellow cards, Pochettino had no choice but to change his tactics and no longer pursue a strong attack. Otherwise, they may have lost their own city before breaking through Manchester United's goal.

United then played more aggressively but failed to score against Southampton's methodical defense.

At the same time, the Southampton team quickly ran out of substitutions.

In the 86th minute, Welbeck, who had just come off the bench, received a pass from Carrick and ejected his right foot high and wide.

In the end, Manchester United defeated the Saints Southampton 2:1 away, ending all games this season.

It was a close game, with Manchester United having a slight advantage in the final possession ratio of 45% to 55%. In terms of shooting, Southampton even led by 15:12, but in terms of shooting data, they fell behind by 8:10.

Southampton's goalkeeper was very good in this game.

Made 8 saves.

Almost at the same time, the other nine Premier League games also ended one after another. Although Tottenham beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home, it just helped them close by 2 goal difference. Faced with the previous huge goal difference disadvantage, it is still a drop in the bucket. Manchester United retained their sixth place and won the Europa League seat for next season as they wished.

………………

Like Manchester United's reversal to win, Liverpool, sitting at Anfield, reversed Newcastle 2:1 and finally won the league runner-up with 84 points. In the 20th minute, Skrtel's fourth own goal in the Premier League this season helped Newcastle take the lead. In the 63rd minute and 65th minute, Gerrard assisted Agger and Sturridge with set kicks to complete the reversal. Liverpool scored more than 100 goals in the league this season. Premier League assists leader. Shora Ameobi and Dumet ended up receiving red cards in a row.

Since Manchester City won West Ham 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium, this also means that Rodgers' team won the Premier League runner-up.

In the three relegation battles, all three relegation teams lost. Sunderland lost to Swansea 1:3 at home, West Brom also lost to Stoke City 1:2 at home, Novi Qi did not perform a miracle, and was defeated by the Gunners Arsenal 0:2 at home.

As a result, both Sunderland and West Brom successfully achieved relegation, and Norwich fell into the abyss of despair.

………………

When he walked into the press conference at St. Mary's Stadium, the big screen was showing Manchester City's championship celebration, and Ye Su asked to turn off the TV.

It is true that Manchester City deserved to win the championship. The number of goals in the Premier League exceeds 100, the most fierce of the 20 teams in the league, the defense is second only to Chelsea, and the second fewest goals conceded in the league. convince. However, as a Manchester United fan, especially the current Manchester United coach, Ye Su does not want to see the celebration scene of the rival in the same city.

The brilliance of rivals in the same city set off the decline of Manchester United. The Red Devils suffered the worst record in the history of the Premier League. They rarely fell out of the top four of the Premier League this season and missed the UEFA Champions League next season.

The reason why Manchester United is like this is because of the change of coaches. Moyes, who has coached the small club Everton for more than ten years, came to Manchester United. This is also Sir Alex Ferguson's hand-picked successor. Finally fell into an endless nightmare. All kinds of disgraceful records emerge one after another. Old Trafford, the most steadfast fortress in England and even Europe in the past, has now become a place for any team to run wild. What is even more sad is that Manchester United, who was the Premier League champion last season, only achieved sixth in the league this season. , It is embarrassing.

Although the team has won four consecutive victories after Ye Su took over and suppressed Tottenham to win the Europa League seat as they wished, how many people actually want to play in the Europa League?

You must know that Manchester United has maintained a record of participating in the Champions League for 18 consecutive seasons since the 1996-97 season.

United were finally nailed to sixth in the Premier League, not only the first time the Red Devils have been kicked out of the top three in the Premier League era, but also their worst league finish in 23 years, having last been worse in 1989. -In the 1990 season, the Red Devils finished in 13th place. In addition, 69 points, 21 wins and 11 losses are all new lows in the club's Premier League history.

The only consolation is that at the last moment, the team kept the record of playing in European competitions for 25 consecutive seasons since 1990.

Manchester United could only taste bitterness as bitter rivals Manchester City and Liverpool battled for the league title to the last minute.

A year ago the Red Devils were celebrating their 20th top-flight title and now they are a supporting player. The difference between Ferguson's presence and absence is really big, with 20 points less, 17 fewer goals, and only the number of goals conceded is the same as last season. When Manchester City and Liverpool both scored more than 100 goals, Manchester United only scored a pitiful 70 goals, which is only 5 more than Blue Moon's goal difference!

For Manchester United, this nightmarish season has passed, and interim coach Ye Su has achieved an impressive four-game winning streak after taking over the team. This may indicate that Manchester United has woken up from the nightmare.

………………

Speaking of Manchester United's overall performance this season and this season, Ye Su admitted: This is a frustrating season, but I have enjoyed the few games since I took over. Especially this game, the players and fans are very good , I didn't want the game to end here. Southampton was a tough opponent, but we were stronger, so we won the game. I'm really proud of the players today. The fans have supported us all season, supported us Players and coaching staff, they showed it again today, they never stopped. I want to thank the fans, they have been incredible this season, they have been lucky to win so much over the years, but this year is not the Our season, but as I said before, we'll come back stronger.

Vidic's blood stained the field. Yesu believed that the Manchester United captain had been fouled before Lambert scored: I think Lambert elbowed Vidic. I don't know if it was intentional. I really think it was a foul though. I'm disappointed, if this happened anywhere on the pitch, the game should have been stopped because of the player's head injury, luckily the players equalized quickly and scored shortly after the start of the second half The lead, I should give them credit.

Talking about Mata's free kick goal, Ye Suzan said: Juan's goal is very exciting, this is really nothing new, he has been practicing this, he scored in training yesterday, this is not a coincidence, the goal It always comes from hard work and hard training.

Of course, some reporters also asked about Ye Su's future at Manchester United. Ye Su also said without hesitation: If there are no accidents, everyone will still be able to see that I will be the coach of Manchester United next season. All this will be determined in the next week.
