Chapter 304 I am convinced, I can’t play you!
After Manchester United defeated Huddersfield 5-0 at home, they went out to play against Brighton on the weekend.
Brighton is now ranked fourth from the bottom in the Premier League, only three points away from the teams in the relegation zone, but they are not stupid. Even when they play at home, they never thought of getting points from Manchester United, let alone the "Red Devils" after the return of "God Yang"!?
On February 15, Manchester United scored 0:3 at American Express Community Stadium and Brighton, but this time, all three goals were not scored by Yang Xiaozhuang, but all from... Rashford!
In the game, Manchester United gained two goals in the first half, with Yang Xiaozhuang and B Fei respectively assisting Rashford.
In the second half, after Yang Xiaozhuang got off the court, Martial came on the bench to play on the left, and Andreas Pereira's position moved back to the right, and Rashford scored the third goal in 61 minutes and scored a "hat trick".
In this round of game, Demale Gray did not play and always sat on the bench to observe. As a result, he found that Manchester United Kings, Yang was really not a person who was greedy for merit. He even often did not pursue goals on the court. Instead, he would help his teammates withstand the opponent's defensive pressure and tear aside the teammates aside the opponent's defensive pressure and tear aside the teammates aside.
In this game, if Yang Xiaozhuang had not been running continuously in the first half, Rashford would not have completed a "scoring twice" in the first half, and there was even one of the balls that was directly Yang Xiaozhuang's assist.
Moreover, Demarle Gray also discovered that since the return of the Manchester United Kings, Manchester United's overall condition has suddenly improved, which is an inexplicable explosive enhancement. It seems that because Chinese Yang returned to the team, everyone in the Manchester United team has found their backbone and regained their confidence, which has also made them perform more calmly in the game. In the last two games, they have shown super confidence as the defending champion.
Three days later, Manchester United went to the Riverside Stadium to compete in the 27th round of the Premier League. Middlesbrough's record this season is currently in 15th place, with a score difference of 7 points from the relegation zone. Relegation... There is no big problem, there is no hope at all to advance to the top six!
This is a typical "salted fish team", so even if they are fighting at home, they will not fight against Manchester United. They will play symbolically, accumulate some experience in fighting against the champion team, and know how big the gap is between themselves and the champion team. This is enough!
At the end of the ninety minutes of the game, a 2:5 figure was left on the electronic scoreboard of Riverside Stadium... Manchester United scored five goals away and won.
In this game, Yang Xiaozhuang played for 60 minutes, and he completed the "scoring twice" in the first half and assisted Martial. After stretching Ford to replace Demarle Gray in the second half, Yang Xiaozhuang assisted Rashford again in the 51st minute.
After Yang Xiaozhuang also got off the court and rested, Rashford received a pick pass from Mark Tominayi in the 76th minute and scored the last goal of both sides in the game.
After this rematch, Manchester United's leading advantage has expanded to as many as 17 points in the standings with the same number of games as Manchester City. On the contrary, the third-ranked "Red Army" currently plays only 1 point less than Manchester City after only 26 rounds. Once they win the rematch, they will reach 60 points. But even so, there is a huge gap between them and Manchester United. With eleven rounds left in the league, it is simply impossible to catch up with such a big difference...
Let’s not talk about whether the “Red Army” Liverpool can win so many games, even Manchester United itself will not lose five games in the remaining eleven rounds!
On the weekend, Manchester United welcomed their 5th round of the FA Cup at home... Tottenham Hotspur!
With "Bai Baihe" actively preparing for the game, even Pochettino admitted the threat of the Manchester United Kings at a press conference before the game: "We can see Yang's personal ability. As long as he can perform his strength normally, we Tottenham Hotspur, or any team, will find it difficult to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford!
Tottenham Hotspur went all out, but Manchester United... didn't take it seriously!
Solskjaer arranged a large number of player rotations, such as veteran Ashley Young, marginalist Lindelof, substitute Andreas Pereira and others, who all got the chance to play, and... they also won!
Manchester United completed 12 shots in the whole game, and with the goal of Demale Gray, Maguire, Herrera and Martial, they scored a total of 5 goals!
"Bai Baihe" who seemed to attach great importance to this game was defeated again at Old Trafford Stadium. They completed 10 shots in the whole game, but failed to score a single goal.
The offensive quality of both sides of the game... is completely different from the same level!
Even in the eyes of many bystanders, this game is not like a match between the first and fourth in the Premier League standings.
At the post-match press conference, Pochettino performed very "regrettably": "We are much worse than our opponents in terms of offensive quality, and are also inferior to our offensive success rate. In this game... we lost reasonably."
Solskjaer, sitting next to Pochettino, watched his opponent "acting" there, and his heart was filled with contempt: We played like this in this game today, and we even beat you. Is your strength really so bad, or... are you able to act better than us?
Of course, Tottenham Hotspur of Pochettino will not be so bad. At least they will not face a Manchester United who is not trying their best to lose so many goals. But now "Bai Baihe" ranks fourth in the standings. Their goal is not to compete for a league championship, but they still need tickets to the top four league games.
What's more, Tottenham Hotspur has also entered the Champions League knockout stage and faced Monaco in the quarterfinals of 16. Of course, Pochettino and the team's energy will not be put into the FA Cup. Next season's Champions League qualification and the chance to reach the Champions League quarterfinals are the highlights that can bring "affordability" to the club.
As for Manchester United, Solskjaer is not that cold to the FA Cup. The team has won the FA Cup last season. If it reaches the finals later, you can compete again, otherwise... it doesn't make any sense!
What's more, Manchester United will soon play in the Champions League knockout round. The opponent in the first round is Naples, the "Lightning Force" from Italy. There is a problem that continues to waste energy in the FA Cup!
However, Solskjaer found that he was not as thick-skinned as Pochettino!
Chapter completed!
