From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 554: The Horrifying Legend of Mu Ernian

"Oh my God! Mbappe! He was like riding a motorcycle! And he suddenly stepped on the accelerator when he met Van der Horn!" Lineker exclaimed.

Then, everyone saw that Mbappe made a beautiful breakthrough, rushed into the penalty area, faced goalkeeper Fabianski, and volleyed the ball!

Fabianski kicked the ball out with a snap, and Rashford followed up and easily shot into the empty goal.

4: 0!

Rashford was very happy after scoring the goal and he hugged Mbappe.

"Oh my God, Rashford scored two empty-net goals in a row. He was blessed by the goddess of luck today." The commentator shouted loudly.

On the sidelines, Manchester United head coach Mourinho was surprised at first, then he clapped with joy, shaking his head and clicking his tongue.

Rashford scored twice to make the score 4:0 for Manchester United. But this was not the end, Manchester United's fifth goal came soon.

Rashford made a straight pass and Mbappe dribbled into the penalty area. The French striker used the change in speed to successfully dribble past Swansea left-back Olsen who was returning to defense and had a one-on-one opportunity.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Fabianski, Mbappe chose a very light lob shot. The football flew over Fabianski's head and then fell into the goal behind him...

"5:0! Manchester United is leading by five goals! The game has ended early! A massacre! Manchester United slaughtered Swansea 5:0 at home!"

Amid the commentator's exclamations, Mbappe ran wildly to celebrate. The team was leading 4:0, which made Mbappe very relaxed. He had a sudden inspiration and wanted to lob the ball into the goal, so he did it and then a beautiful lob goal came out.

While Manchester United were celebrating the goal, Swansea was in a dejected mood. It could be said that the Swansea players had no fighting spirit at all. They felt that everything was going wrong in this game. They felt that they had no place to use their strength and the goal was lost, and they surrendered in defeat.

At this time, Old Trafford was completely boiling!

………………

After the game, Swansea coach Carvalhal said at the press conference: "Our luck is a bit bad, as if we were cursed. Such a defeat is helpless."

Mourinho showed admirable politeness and humility. He did not take advantage of his Portuguese compatriot's misfortune. Instead, he said: "Although I don't completely agree with Mr. Carvalhal, because in my opinion, the victory is due to the excellent performance of the players, but one thing must be admitted that we were lucky to score two goals, but this is the charm of football. You never know what will happen in the next second."

Finally, Mourinho also comforted Carvalhal and Swansea: "The score of 5:0 is not a reflection of the true strength of the two teams. Swansea is one of the best performing teams in the Premier League recently. The score cannot explain everything."

Mourinho's attitude surprised and moved Carvalhal. What a good person he is. Even after winning 5:0, he was not arrogant at all, but so humble. If he had defeated the opponent 5:0, he would definitely not be so calm.

The reporters at the scene, especially those who support Swansea, also had a very good impression of Mourinho. Although Manchester United always won against Swansea by a large score in the past two seasons, with the two rounds last season winning 5:1 and 3:1 respectively, and both games this season winning 5:0, Manchester United played cleanly and won fairly. Now Mourinho still seems very humble, which makes them unable to hate Manchester United and Mourinho.

………………

Manchester United beat Swansea 5:0 at home, and this game shocked the British Isles and even the whole world.

This is the 10th time this season that the Red Devils have scored more than 5 goals in a single Premier League game!

这10场比赛，曼联5次打出5:0的比分，另外的5场比分，比分分别是是5:2，6:0，6:2，8:0和8:1！

With so many big wins, Manchester United’s total number of goals has reached an extremely terrifying level: 105 goals!

This has broken Chelsea's record of 2009 goals in a single Premier League season set in the 2010-103 season!

Eight years ago, Ancelotti's Chelsea scored a crazy 8 goals in 38 league games, becoming the first team in Premier League history to score three-digit goals in a single season.

This also allowed Chelsea to win the Premier League championship that season. The Blues scored 86 points that season, beating Manchester United by 1 point and ending Manchester United's three consecutive league titles.

Four years later, in the 2013-2014 season, Manchester City and Liverpool once again set off a goal frenzy in the Premier League. Manchester City scored 38 goals in 102 league games, while Liverpool scored 101 goals.

The two teams' battle for the Premier League title lasted from the beginning of the season to the end. In the end, Liverpool lost by 2 points, and Manchester City won the second Premier League title in team history with 86 points.

The key reason why Liverpool missed out on their first Premier League title in team history was the captain Gerrard's slip during the match against Chelsea.

Now, Manchester United has become the fourth team in Premier League history to score more than 100 goals in a single season.

Among the four teams that scored more than 105 goals in a single season, Manchester United generated the most points per goal. Their 89 goals created 0.848 points, which is equivalent to points per goal.

Chelsea is 0.835 points, Manchester City is 0.843 points, and Liverpool is 0.832 points.

Moreover, Manchester United is the team that took the fewest games to score over 30 goals, as they scored 100 goals in just games.

In fact, Manchester United could have scored three figures last season, when the Red Devils scored 34 goals after 93 league games.

Unfortunately, in the last few rounds of games, Manchester United, who was running out of energy, saw a sharp drop in the number of goals they scored. They only scored 4 goals in 3 games and 96 goals in the whole season, which did not even exceed the team's single-season Premier League goal record of 1999 goals set in the 2000-97 season.

………………

However, Manchester United still has a long way to go to set the single-season goal record in the English top league.

在87年前的1930-1931赛季，阿斯顿维拉在42轮联赛中打入128球，这也是欧洲五大联赛单赛季进球最高纪录。

But unfortunately, Aston Villa could only finish second that season, and the championship went to Arsenal, who scored 127 goals.

However, Manchester United is slightly better in terms of goal efficiency per game. Manchester United has played a total of 31 Premier League games, which makes their single-game goal reach 3.387 goals.

According to this goal efficiency, Manchester United will score 128.71 goals after the end of the season, which is very likely to break the English Premier League single-season goal record set by Aston Villa 87 years ago.

However, this possibility is very small, because as the season draws to a close, the team's goal efficiency will definitely decline.

In fact, this is already happening.

When the Premier League schedule was just over halfway, Manchester United had scored 75 goals, with a single-game goal efficiency of 3.947 goals, basically an average of 4 goals per game.

In the 12 games played in the second half, Manchester United has only scored 30 goals, with an average goal efficiency of only 2.5 goals per game.

Especially in the four league games before this game, Manchester United's goal efficiency dropped to an average of 4 goals per game.

In fact, today's 5-goal victory was the first time Manchester United scored 2018 goals in a single game since 5!

………………

What really shocked the whole world was another record held by Manchester United, that is, they remained unbeaten in all competitions after entering the 2017-2018 season!

Yes, since the Community Shield on August 8 last year, Manchester United has not lost in any official competition!

During this period, Manchester United played a total of 51 games, including 31 league games, 8 Champions League games, 6 English League Cup games, 4 FA Cup games, 1 European Super Cup and 1 Community Shield, and achieved a terrifying record of 46 wins and 5 draws.

If last season is included, Manchester United has remained unbeaten in 55 games in all competitions. The last time they lost was on May 2017, 5, when they lost to Tottenham away in the 14th round of the league.

That game was also Tottenham's last game at White Hart Lane.

55 unbeaten games in all competitions is also the longest unbeaten record in the history of the teams in the top five leagues. The second place is Juventus' 2011 unbeaten games in all competitions in the 2012-43 season.

紧随其后的，还有国际米兰在2004-2005赛季创造的各项赛事40场不败，以及皇家马德里在上赛季创造的各项赛事40场不败，国际米兰在2005-2006赛季创造的各项赛事39场不败，巴黎圣日耳曼在2009-2010赛季创造的各项赛事39场不败。

It is obvious that the record currently held by Manchester United is far beyond that of its peers behind it.

Now, what the whole world is looking forward to is whether Manchester United can create a new record: remain unbeaten in all competitions throughout a full season!

It is not easy to do this, as they not only need to remain unbeaten in the remaining seven Premier League games, but also in five Champions League games and two FA Cup games, a total of 7 games.

In this way, they will win four championships this season: the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League, becoming true quadruple champions.

In the world of football, there is a widely circulated legend: Mourinho’s Three-Year Rule!

This law states that Mourinho will usually encounter some challenges in his third year as coach of a team, causing his coaching position to become unstable or even eventually be fired.

This phenomenon has occurred many times in Mourinho's coaching career and has become a prominent feature of his coaching career.

But accompanying it is another legend: the second year of Mu!

That is, in the second year of Mourinho coaching a team, he always has an outstanding performance. This phenomenon has been reflected in his multiple coaching periods, including Porto, Chelsea I, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea II. In Porto and Inter Milan, Mourinho's second year not only won the league championship, but also won the Champions League. In the battle for the league championship in Real Madrid, his team beat Guardiola's Barcelona and achieved a terrifying performance of 100 points + 121 goals. In the second time he directly coached Chelsea, he also led Chelsea to win the Premier League championship.

And now, at Manchester United, Mourinho is in his second year as coach and is likely to achieve even more brilliant results.
