I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

After winning Manchester City at Old Trafford, the Manchester United team took a plane in midweek and flew to distant Ukraine. The Europa League quarter-final away game against Dynamo Kiev will be played on Thursday night.

Although the victory over Manchester City was great, this game also consumed a lot of Manchester United players. In addition, the distance between Kiev and Manchester is nearly 2,300 kilometers. Although it is by plane, the long-distance travel is also a great consumption for Manchester United players. Therefore, in the away game against Dynamo Kiev, Ye Su carried out multiple rotations to ensure that the players' physical fitness can last.

Dynamo Kiev is a super strong team in the Ukrainian Super League, and its domination of the Ukrainian Super League is not inferior to Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League. The Ukrainian Super League and the Premier League were established in the same year, and Dynamo Kiev, like Manchester United, won 13 league titles. Even, in the first ten years of Uzbekistan, Dynamo Kiev won nine consecutive championships.

After entering the 2010s, the state of Dynamo Kiev declined, and the Ukrainian Super League was also ruled by another dominant team, Shakhtar Donetsk, and won five consecutive championships.

However, Dynamo Kiev has fully revived this season. After 19 rounds in the Ukrainian Super League, they lead the Shakhtars to the top of the standings. It is very likely that they will win the Ukrainian Super League again after five years.

In the Europa League, Dynamo Kiev also performed very well. They started from the third qualifying round of the Europa League, eliminated the Israeli team Kirsmona Hapoel, and eliminated the Cyprus team Omonia in the play-offs. In the group stage, they played against the European giants Einstein Huo Wen, the Greek team Panathinaikos, and the Portuguese Super League team Estoril are in a group. As a result, Dynamo Kiev topped the list with a record of six consecutive victories, overwhelming Eindhoven to qualify for the first place in the group. In the sixteenth final, Dynamo Kiev eliminated Anderlecht 3:1, and in the eighth final they eliminated the Premier League powerhouse Toffee Everton 6:4.

………………

After studying the situation of Dynamo Kiev, Ye Su knew that the opponent was not an easy team to deal with. But since the strategy had already been determined, Ye Su still chose rotation without hesitation.

As a result, Manchester United, who played with a half-main and half-substitute lineup, encountered a bitter battle at the Rovnovsky Stadium. The Red Devils conceded a goal in the 36th minute of the first half. Fortunately, their defense is still solid, especially the defensive midfielder Kanter played extremely well. The solid defense ensured that the team did not concede a goal in the next game , and at the critical moment when the game was about to enter injury time, Manchester United finally scored a goal. De Bruyne assisted Ashley Young to score and Manchester United tied again.

In the end, the score of 1:1 was maintained until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Ye Su was very satisfied with this result. In fact, he had already accepted the result of the team's away game loss for a time, but he did not expect Professor Young to bring him a surprise at the last moment.

Even if Ye Su wanted to return to Manchester, he asked the team to renew Ashley Young's contract immediately. His contract now only has the last year left. Even if the contract is delayed until the end of the season, it can be regarded as squeezing this kid in the last dozen games of the season.

After playing the Europa League game, the Manchester United team rushed back to the UK non-stop, because on the weekend, they will usher in the FA Cup semi-final against Reading.

The FA Cup semi-final with Reading will be played at the new Wembley Stadium. The time was 3 pm on April 19th, local time in the UK. Only 65 hours had passed since the match between Manchester United and Dynamo Kyiv ended!

Such a short rest time, and the Manchester United team took a plane for more than three hours in the middle, is definitely not enough for the Manchester United players to recover their physical fitness.

Fortunately, Ye Su had already set up a rotation strategy, otherwise this game would be really difficult to play.

Apart from the coaching staff, the Manchester United team headed to London without any players who started the game in the middle of the week.

Yesu left them in Manchester to rest and prepare for the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Dynamo Kyiv at Old Trafford next week.

Although Reading is now only ranked 17th in the 37th round of the British Championship, there is not much pressure to relegation. After all, they are 10 points higher than the relegation zone, which is very safe, so for this FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United, it must be very seriously.

Manchester United's lineup for this game is already very strong. The goalkeeper De Gea and the defense are composed of Kyle Walker, Evans, Smalling and Valencia. Phil Jones and Carrick are partners. The defensive midfielder and the forward line are composed of Bruno Fernandez, Mata and Januzaj, with Rooney as the center.

But such a strong Manchester United team played very hard in the new Wembley Stadium. Although they broke the deadlock with Rooney's first goal in the first half, the tenacious Reading equalized in the 54th minute of the second half.

In the remaining nearly forty minutes, neither side scored again, and the game entered overtime.

At this time, after nearly two hours of hard work by the Reading team, all players had certain physical problems. Manchester United finally showed the advantages of their players. At 106 minutes, he scored the game-winning goal.

In the end, after Manchester United fought against Reading for 120 minutes, they finally eliminated their opponents with difficulty and entered this year's FA Cup final.

A day earlier, another semi-final had already been decided at this stadium. Aston Villa defeated Liverpool 2-1 in 90 minutes and will compete with Manchester United for this year's FA Cup on the afternoon of May 30. cup champion.

………………

While Manchester United competed with Reading for the FA Cup final, the rest of the Premier League was going on as normal. Because of the postponement of Chelsea's home game against Manchester United, the Blues played the 27th round of the Premier League against Leicester City on this day.

At the King Power Stadium, after Mourinho's team conceded a goal first, Drogba, Terry and Ramirez scored three goals in a row, reversing the game.

As a result, in the same 32 league games, Chelsea's points reached 76 points, only 2 points behind Manchester United.

The battle for the Premier League title has intensified.

Since Chelsea have already been eliminated in the Champions League and the FA Cup, they are now only concentrating on the Premier League, while Manchester United is also distracted by the Europa League and the FA Cup. The main reason is that the Europa League will involve a lot of energy for Manchester United. Most of the media and gambling companies are optimistic that Chelsea can reverse Manchester United and win this year's Premier League championship.

Especially at the end of this month, the two sides will usher in the battle of Tianwangshan at Stamford Bridge, and Stamford Bridge has never been a blessed place for Manchester United.

However, Ye Su has not yet considered a guest at Stamford Bridge, because Dynamo Kiev is about to come to Manchester.

Now that he has achieved good results in the away game, Ye Su will naturally strive to let the team continue to strive for the Europa League.

………………

The key battle to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League is at home again. Ye Su almost ranked Manchester United's current strongest team, goalkeeper De Gea, and the defense line consists of Kyle Walker, Maguire, Van Dijk and Luke Shaw sits, Kanter and Fellaini partner in the midfielder, De Bruyne, Ashley Young and Vardy form the forward line, and Rooney continues to start.

Manchester United played very well at home and took the lead in the 17th minute. De Bruyne cut into the left side of the penalty area and passed the ball. Rooney was pressed with his back and sent a wonderful pass with his heel. Ashley Young shot into the near corner from the edge of the penalty area. .

Ten minutes later, Manchester United scored the second goal of the game. De Gea opened the goal kick and kicked forward. Rooney got rid of the entanglement of Dynamo Kiev's defense and formed a single shot. However, his shot from 10 yards from the goal was blocked by the Dynamo Kiev goalkeeper. Ashley Young broke into the left side of the penalty area and returned a pass. De Bruyne scored from 12 yards and helped Manchester United lead by two goals in less than 30 minutes.

In the second half of the game, Manchester United finally scored their third goal of the game, and it was a very beautiful one, after Rooney and Ashley Young's two consecutive very dangerous shots were saved by the Dynamo Kyiv goalkeeper. Direct free kick to goal.

In the 65th minute, Manchester United won a free kick from the left side of the front field. The place is 25 yards from the goal and is in a very good position.

Rooney took the penalty, and under the influence of the free kick card, he once again took a free kick with a perfect arc and went straight into the far corner. The goalkeeper of Dynamo Kiev, who had performed well before, was in vain.

3:0, Manchester United secured the victory.

However, Manchester United's goals did not stop there. In the 90th minute of the game, just as the fourth official had already walked to the sidelines with the stoppage time sign, Manchester United's fourth goal of the game came.

De Bruyne transferred a diagonal pass from the right, Rooney knocked back a wonderful pass, and Vardy followed up with a 12-yard shot into the net, locking the score at 4:0.

So far, Manchester United's front four have scored goals in this game.

………………

A hearty 4:0 victory allowed Manchester United to eliminate Dynamo Kiev with a total score of 5:1 and advance to the semi-finals of this season's Europa League with their heads held high.

However, the Europa League semi-final draw at noon on Friday turned out to be a headache for Ye Su and Manchester United.

The four teams participating in the draw are defending champions and La Liga powerhouse Sevilla, Premier League giants Red Devils Manchester United, Serie A's Naples, and Ukrainian team Dnipro.

There is no seeding team in the lottery at this stage, and teams from the same country do not need to avoid it. The lottery process was presided over by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino. He first introduced the rules of the lottery, and then played 4 teams on the big screen The team's promotion process and the exciting scenes of the game, the draw was then officially carried out.

The first team to be drawn was Naples in Serie A. They played at home first, and their opponent was the Ukrainian team Dnipro. Subsequently, the second group match was also announced, Sevilla played against Manchester United, and the defending champion played at home first.

For Manchester United, this result is simply no worse. The only good news is that they have the schedule advantage of being the first visitor.
