Chapter 467 Against Arsenal
A 1-1 draw with Everton and a 2-0 win over West Ham United.
In the league, Manchester United ended a long October with an unbeaten record.
Manchester United, which is catching up in the league, has also achieved good results in the Champions League.
After defeating West Bromwich Albion 4-0, Manchester United easily defeated the Scottish Super League giants 3-0 at home and achieved two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.With the advantage of goal difference, they currently rank first in the group.
The Manchester United team, which has gone hand in hand in the league and the Champions League, encountered a crisis in the first game after entering November.
After defeating West Ham United 2-0 at home, Manchester United, who had adjusted for two days, ushered in their 11-round opponent-Hull City at Old Trafford.
Hull City is a veritable newly-promoted polo team, and this season is the first time since their establishment 104 years ago, they have appeared in the top league.
But it was such a newly promoted polo team that thoroughly performed what is called a dark horse miracle.
In the past 10 rounds, they have achieved a record of 6 wins and 2 draws, following Manchester United in fifth place in the league with a goal difference disadvantage.
The trajectory of Hull City in the past ten rounds is somewhat similar to that of Manchester United now.After defeating Fulham in the first round, they drew with Blackburn away in the second round. In the third round, they encountered the most difficult game in the Premier League, losing 5 goals at home to Wigan Athletic.Just when everyone thought that Hull City was about to collapse, Hull City shut everyone up with a record of 6 unbeaten rounds, 5 wins and [-] draw.Among them, Lianke North London's powerful Arsenal and Tottenham are the most classic, which makes people talk about it.
Unbeaten for six consecutive rounds, even let the Hull City people dream of the myth of Kaiserslautern.
This dream was shattered in the last round against Chelsea.Sitting at home, they lost 0-3 cleanly to Chelsea, which also made them understand the gap between them and the Premier League teams.
So when they were a guest at Old Trafford this round, they played the bus very low-key.
Even so, Hull City's bus was smashed by Manchester United's heavy hammer in the opening 3 minutes.The Bulgarian striker Berbatov may be addicted to assists. He frequently played the role of an organizer in the frontcourt.
The Manchester United team, which scored early, then launched a mad attack on the Hull City bus.
The Manchester United team, which fully suppressed their opponents, did not expand the score.Hull City relied on a set kick in the 22nd minute and pierced through the gate of Van der Sar's handle, continuing to maintain the momentum of away goals.
The Manchester United team, which was tied with the score, was a little chaotic in the next period of time, and showed a weak offensive against Hull City's defense.
Manchester United's weak performance gave Hull City players great confidence.After tying the score, they were eager to launch a counterattack.
After feeling the desire of the Hull City team to attack, Manchester United simply retreated and played a defensive counterattack.
Through the rapid advance from the wing, Hull City quickly advanced the attack to the Manchester United half.Just then they noticed that a kick had landed on the hard stone.No matter how they dispatched, they just couldn't tear through Manchester United's defense.
The Hull City players who were unable to tear through Manchester United's defense for a long time couldn't help but feel a little anxious. They continued to invest in the frontcourt, and the empty backcourt was completely exposed to the Manchester United striker.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After Yu Liang and Carrick worked together to steal the ball from the Hull players, Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack.
After Berbatov received the ball near the center circle, he unhurriedly turned around and wiped past the defender, and then kicked a pass. Rooney, who quickly advanced forward, caught up with the football and then passed the opponent's goalkeeper and shot an empty goal. 2-1, Manchester United overtook the score.
Rooney's goal stabilized the morale of the army, and at the same time dispelled the momentum of Hull City's counterattack. They returned to the backcourt and set up the bus again.
The defending Hull City suffered another blow before the end of the first half. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice with a corner kick to expand the score to 3-1.
Manchester United, with a two-goal advantage, continued to attack after the start of the second half, and in the 57th minute, Vidic scored a header to seal the victory.
The 4-1, 3-goal advantage allowed Ferguson to adjust boldly with confidence. He replaced Tevez and Anderson one after another, and began to prepare for the midweek Champions League.
When all the Manchester United fans were waiting for another hearty victory after the final whistle sounded, the situation in the stadium changed suddenly.
First, Evra made a mistake in the backcourt. The Hull City player volleyed and scored after stealing the frontcourt, rewriting the score to 4-2.
Immediately after Ferdinand was defending, he fouled in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty kick. Hull City's penalty player Geovani made it overnight and rewritten the score to 4-3.
What kind of prince will Xiangning?
The difference of one goal completely ignited the passion of Hull City players.
They launched a frenzied counterattack.
Ferguson, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, immediately frowned and stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face.
Even Yu Liang, who was resting after the game, couldn't help worrying about the fate of the team.
A good big victory, because of two mistakes, it became like this, and I want to know what greeted Evra and Ferdinand after the game with my toes.
"damn it!"
Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, cursed secretly, his sharp eyes kept scanning Evra and Ferdinand.
If eyes could kill, Evra and Ferdinand would have been devastated by now.
"James..."
Fortunately for Ferguson, he didn't use up all his substitutions after leading 4-1.
This is the experience he has accumulated over the years of coaching.
At no time can you use up your hole cards.
But now is the time to show your cards.
He replaced O'Shea and replaced Anderson, who played less than 20 minutes.For Ferguson at the moment, 3 points are more important.
O'Shea's playing relieved the pressure on the team's midfield.
The game came to an end in the fierce competition between the two sides.Manchester United got three points at home without any risk.With the three points in this game, Manchester United successfully surpassed Arsenal and climbed to the third position in the standings.This allowed Manchester United to take the lead before facing Arsenal.And the next round will be a direct dialogue between the two teams, whether they win or lose, Manchester United will firmly hold down Arsenal.
However, before the two teams have a direct dialogue, the two sides still have a Champions League game to play.
Evra and Ferdinand, who were scolded in the locker room after the game, both went to Glasgow with the team, and they topped the Celtics with their excellent performances at Celtic Park. After crazy attacks again and again, Manchester United, who was a guest at Celtic Park, finally drew 1-1 with captain Giggs' goal.In another game in the same group, Aalborg used their geographical advantages to successfully draw with Villarreal.After four rounds of the group, Manchester United is still at the top of the group table.It's just that Group E, which had a very clear qualifying situation, became chaotic at this time.
Manchester United, who returned to England with a draw, flew directly to London.
Next will be the dialogue between them and Arsenal, which is the biggest highlight of the 12th round of the Premier League!
