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

On the afternoon of February 2, the first championship of this season, the English League Cup, was contested between the Blue Moon Manchester City and the Blues Chelsea.

This is the first championship that the two teams can win in the past three years, because in the previous two years, Manchester United swept all domestic competitions, while Manchester City and Chelsea failed to win any of the four major championships for two consecutive seasons.

Therefore, both teams attach great importance to this championship, which is originally a bit useless.

The two teams fought fiercely at the new Wembley Stadium, and the score was 120:0 after 0 minutes, so the game had to go into a brutal penalty shootout.

In the end, Manchester City had the last laugh, beating Chelsea 4-3 and winning the first championship trophy in the Guardiola era, ending the team's three-year championshipless embarrassment. Chelsea still couldn't win the first championship trophy in the post-Mourinho era.

………………

In the last midweek of February, the 2th round of the Premier League kicked off. Manchester United's match was at 28 pm on February 2, local time in the UK, away to Crystal Palace.

BIG6's games basically all start at the same time.

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Manchester United played a beautiful offensive cooperation. Kanter and Gundogan teamed up to steal the ball, and then Gundogan quickly hit the ball to find Bruno.

Bruno had a good vision and had already thought about what to do when he received the ball. He kicked the ball diagonally and directly tore through the Crystal Palace's defense.

Manchester United's counterattack was very fast, and this sharp counterattack made Crystal Palace very uncomfortable.

When Rashford and Luke Shaw passed the ball continuously and finally cut into the penalty area, Crystal Palace's defense had completely collapsed.

The last thing was simple. Luke Shaw sent a ground ball cross, Harry Kane squeezed away defender Martin Kelly with his back to the goal, knocked the ball, and then Mbappe who received the ball was unguarded at this time. In this situation, it was not difficult for the French genius to score. Facing a half-empty goal, he gently pushed the ball, and it rolled into the Crystal Palace goal.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful goal! Manchester United leads 1:0. This goal was very beautiful. Manchester United's counterattack was very fast. The whole process of scoring the goal was almost just one pass. A few passes tore through the Crystal Palace's defense. It seemed that the home team had no way to deal with this kind of attack."

Martin Taylor also praised the goal: "The Crystal Palace players were like being hit on the head by a stick. They were dizzy and had no idea how to defend. They could only run passively, but the end result was - losing the ball."

Mourinho applauded on the sidelines and cheered for the team's goal. He was very satisfied with the goal so early. As long as he seized the opportunity to score another goal, Crystal Palace's determination to resist would be greatly reduced.

………………

Even though Mourinho was confident in his team's strength, he did not expect the team's second goal to come so quickly. Ten minutes later, Rashford's frontcourt breakthrough caused the opponent to foul, and Manchester United got a frontcourt set-piece opportunity.

Bruno took the free kick into the penalty area, Harry Kane headed the ball and caused Crystal Palace goalkeeper Guaita to lose the ball. Crystal Palace defender Tomkins cleared the ball hastily. Gundogan didn't wait for the ball to land outside the penalty area, but he took a long shot and hit the defender and changed direction. Harry Kane kicked the ball into the net before the defender cleared the ball.

2: 0!

"2:0! Harry Kane, the Manchester United striker, scored his 17th league goal." Martin Taylor shouted, "Manchester United's goal came again. Facing Manchester United, Crystal Palace had almost no ability to fight back."

Manchester United, which was leading by two goals, did not stop, but launched an offensive frenzy.

In the 3th minute of the game, the visiting team captain Bruno scored a goal assisted by Rashford, changing the score to 0:.

Before the end of the first half, Mbappe cut in from the right and shot into the far corner. The French genius scored twice and helped Manchester United extend the score to 4:0.

………………

Manchester United took a 4:0 lead in the first half, which made commentators Andy Gray and Martin Taylor sigh that the suspense of the game no longer existed.

"Manchester United completely destroyed Crystal Palace with their devastating attack," said He Wei, the commentator of the game broadcast live on CCTV.

Zhang Lu laughed and said, "The team built by Mourinho is very strong. These young people are very talented and their achievements are worth looking forward to."

At this time, Mourinho, who returned to halftime, was in a good mood. He was very satisfied with the result and progress of the first half of the game.

"Keep playing like this in the second half," Mourinho said. "Don't think 4:0 is enough. Remember, goal difference is also crucial."

In a long league, not only every point is crucial, but every goal is equally important. When it comes time to compare the goal difference to determine the ranking, sometimes one goal can determine whether it is heaven or hell.

"After the second half started, we kept up the pressure," Mourinho said, "and completely destroyed Crystal Palace's morale."

………………

Mourinho was a little worried at first that Crystal Palace would regain their fighting spirit after the halftime adjustment. Although this would not have any impact on the outcome of the game, the opponent's fierce resistance would not be a good game. But he found out that he was wrong. The score of 0:4 in the first half had completely made Crystal Palace lose the will to resist. In the second half of the game, Manchester United also welcomed the team's fifth goal without suspense.

Facing Manchester United's fast and tough offensive, the home team had nothing to do.

In the 66th minute of the game, Bruno's long shot caused chaos in the Crystal Palace penalty area. In the melee, Harry Kane held off Crystal Palace defender Van Aanholt, half-turned and shot. After being saved by goalkeeper Guaita, the ball still flew firmly into the net.

5: 0!

Harry Kane helped Manchester United extend their lead to five goals.

………………

With a 5:0 lead, Mourinho began to deploy his troops.

McTominay replaced Harry Kane, Mata replaced Bruno, and Fred replaced Kante.

With the arrival of the Champions League knockout stage, Manchester United's schedule will become increasingly intensive. Seizing every opportunity to give the main players a rest is what the head coach cares most about.

With the continuous substitutions, Manchester United's offense has indeed been affected. However, under such circumstances, Manchester United still did not stop scoring goals.

In the injury time of the game, Rashford made a lob pass, McTominay successfully made an offside, broke into the penalty area, and scored a beautiful volley, locking the score at 6:0.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace 6-0 away from home and won again with a big score.
