Chapter 380: Successive Victories

Manchester United defeated Cardiff City 1:0 at home and won the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals. However, this was not a satisfactory score, but compared to the city rivals losing at home, this result is still good. Yes, after all, Manchester United played with all substitutes. As for whether they can make it to the finals, we will have to wait until the second round ends in half a month.

Manchester United people have no energy to think about what happened half a month later, because their new games are coming one after another, and they are about to face the challenge of the fast Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford.

Before the match against Kuala Lumpur, some Bolton fans shouted slogans: Newcastle can do it, why can't we? !

Indeed, Manchester United was hurt by the loss to Newcastle United in the last round of the league, which ended a series of unbeaten records. In particular, the team's defense suddenly went out of control. In the league loss to Newcastle and the FA Cup win against Manchester City, Manchester United's goal was conceded five times in the two games. This is the first time since February 2004 that such a bad record has occurred.

Bolton's optimism is not unreasonable. Although the Kuaishou are in the relegation zone, they have rebounded significantly recently. Especially winning two consecutive away games has boosted the morale of the whole team. Therefore, under the leadership of Coyle, Bolton really wants to let Manchester United go. Following March 2009, they once again lost consecutive games at home in the Premier League (at that time, the Red Devils suffered a 1:4 defeat at home to their arch-rivals Liverpool and a 0:2 away defeat to Fulham).

However, having ideas but not taking action is obviously utopianism. After the referee Walton blew the opening whistle, the Manchester United team, which played all the main players, took the absolute initiative on the scene.

………………

Before the game started, a red banner with "Go Manchester United" written in simplified Chinese characters was hung outside the east stand of Old Trafford Stadium, with the words Manchester United wishing you a Happy New Year at the bottom.

In the first 30 minutes, the ball possession ratio of the home and away teams was 65% to 35%, the shot ratio was 11 to 4, and the score was 1:0. Manchester United scored a penalty kick in the 22nd minute by Bell.

In the 21st minute, Welbeck dribbled the ball from his right rib into the penalty area. Knight pulled down the Manchester United youngster from behind. Previously, as the only referee in the Premier League who had not awarded a penalty kick this season, Walton decisively whistled for a penalty kick and warned Knight with a yellow card. Bell scored easily.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United scored another goal. Rooney and Nani cooperated on the right wing and then made a cross pass in the penalty area. Welbeck missed it with his back in the middle. Bell scored a low shot with his right foot from 6 meters to the left, scoring a goal. The second time also helped the team expand the lead to 2 goals.

In the second half, Manchester United scored two more goals, scored by teenager Welbeck and veteran Scholes who had just returned.

Finally, at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 4:0.

Manchester United had another big win.

The four-goal victory not only allowed Manchester United to avoid the first time since December 1978 that they allowed their opponents to defeat the city three times in three consecutive games in the top league for the first time, but also allowed Ferguson to laugh at the fact that the team was in official matches during his coaching period. The 600th clean sheet game in China has arrived.

The victory in this game brought Manchester United's winning streak against Bolton at home in the Premier League to 9 games, tying the previous record of the most generous points sent by Tottenham (1996 to 2004) when they visited the Theater of Dreams.

This season, Bolton was double beaten by Manchester United. The scores of the two games were 6:0 and 4:0 respectively. The Kuala Lumpur netted 10 goals, but failed to score any goals.

Such a poor record turned Bolton's high profile before the game into a joke.

………………

After neatly cutting off the fast horse, the Manchester United team set off for London. On Wednesday night, the 16th round of the Premier League will be played at Loftus Road Stadium, the home ground of Queens Park Rangers.

Manchester United will be in London for the next week, because their game will still be in London next weekend.

As for this week, Manchester United's daily training will be conducted at Tottenham's training base. Tottenham and Manchester United have reached an agreement to swap training grounds this week, as Tottenham will travel to Manchester City next weekend.

Manchester United rushed to London on Monday morning, and then began preparations at Tottenham's training base in the afternoon. Tottenham will remain at the training base for the time being and will not go to Manchester United's Carrington training base until Wednesday afternoon.

Queens Park Rangers Football Club is located in Sheppard Grove, Hammersmith-Fulham, Greater London, England, which is considered West London, and is adjacent to two Premier League teams, Chelsea and Fulham Football Club.

As a newly promoted team, Queens Park Rangers performed very amazingly this season and have been ranked around tenth in the standings for a long time. However, due to poor performance in recent rounds, their position in the standings has also been declining, and they have currently been ranked 16th in multiple rounds.

However, after losing to Newcastle on Sunday, their ranking dropped again to just 1 point above 18th-placed Bolton Wanderers.

Under the huge pressure of relegation, Queens Park Rangers really want to win Manchester United at home.

………………

This game is the 48th main-season meeting between the two clubs. Previously, Manchester United had a clear advantage with 28 wins, 13 draws and 6 losses. Of course, this is also the first time that the two clubs have met in the fourth round of the League Cup in 37 months since the 2008-2009 season. This is their first meeting, and Manchester United has remained unbeaten with 8 wins and 3 draws in the last 11 main match encounters between the two sides, and Queens Park Rangers has only won 1 home game this season.

In this game, Queens Park Rangers are missing both Anton Ferdinand and Dyer, but Helgusson, who has been in good form recently, continues to start and partner Bothroyd on the front line; Manchester United completely copied last weekend's 4:0 victory at home. The starting lineup for the win over Bolton.

Queens Park Rangers, who wanted to score points at home, suffered a heavy blow at the beginning of the game: Manchester United broke their goal only 52 seconds into the game!

Smalling grabbed the landing spot on the right side of the frontcourt, Rooney headed the ball across, Bell passed from the left, Rooney dived sideways from the edge of the small penalty area, pushed out a weird bounce ball, and sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

In the first minute, the home team had to face a situation of falling behind.

However, this was just the beginning. Just two minutes later, they conceded their second goal of the game. Manchester United intercepted the pass from Queens Park Rangers in the backcourt and immediately launched a quick counterattack. Sneijder transferred the ball to Nani on the right. The Portuguese winger broke through with the ball and then sent a through ball in the ribs. Bell He inserted it from the left wing and took a light shot, which broke the goal guarded by Cherny.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Manchester United took a 2:0 lead. The Loftus Road Stadium, with a capacity of less than 20,000, was completely silent. Neither the home team fans nor the few fans who traveled with Manchester United on the away game had expected this. Everyone was dumbfounded by the situation.

………………

The blows suffered by Queens Park Rangers were far from over as they encountered a Bale who really went crazy. In the 28th minute of the first half, Manchester United won a corner kick on the left. Bell did not take the corner kick, but went to the outside of the penalty area, preparing to attack.

Nani took a corner kick from the left, Welbeck nodded the ball forward, and Bell suddenly broke in from outside the penalty area and headed the ball straight to the upper corner of the far post.

Less than half an hour later, Manchester United already led the home team 3:0, and Bell contributed two shots and one pass!

Facing Bell, who was in hot form, the Queens Park Rangers players became a little angry and kept fouling him. Other Manchester United players discovered that Bell was being targeted by the opponent and temporarily changed the direction of attack, focusing on the right wing where Nani was.

Because QPR's defense is obviously shifted to the left, it is a good decision to switch to the right at this time. Manchester United got consecutive chances, but whether it was Nani, Rooney, or even Vidic's attack from the corner kick, they were either rejected by the Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper or cleared by the defensive players.

Compared with Bell, who has superb shooting skills, the shooting skills of Rooney and Nani are obviously more than one level behind.

Although in the rest of the first half, Manchester United still held Queens Park Rangers in the half-court friction, but with Bell being completely locked, Manchester United did not score again, and the score of 3:0 was brought into the half-court. Field break.

………………

Because Queens Park Rangers players committed so many fouls against Bell, and there were many very dangerous fouls, Ferguson was worried about Bell being injured. In addition, the team was already leading by a large margin and had a fierce battle with Arsenal on the weekend, so Ferguson replaced Bell at halftime.

However, Manchester United did not put down its butcher knife with Bell's departure. Soon after the start of the second half, Manchester United scored its fourth goal of the game.

In the 56th minute, the Queens Park Rangers midfielder made a mistake in a cross pass. Carrick intercepted the ball and drove straight in from the left rib. He cut in from 20 meters away from the front of the penalty area and shot with his right foot into the lower left corner of the goal, rewriting the score to 4:0.

This is Carrick's first goal in the Premier League since February 6, 2010 against Wigan.

Originally, Manchester United had a chance to continue to expand the score. In the 69th minute, Nani made a wonderful pass, Jones pushed the ball from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball hit the right post and popped out. Immediately, Nani and Rooney cooperated and the shot from the left was blocked by Cherny with both hands.

In the end, Manchester United won another 4-0 victory, once again extending their advantage in the standings to 12 points.

After the game, team coach Ferguson accepted an interview with Sky Sports. He was very pleased with the team's performance. "I thought it was a great performance. Gareth was fantastic today and he did a great job to get us to settle the fight in the first 30 minutes. He did a really good job. Now he's in great shape and I I'm really happy with this performance. The opponent's goalkeeper played very well and made several dream saves. Obviously, we missed a dozen opportunities, but overall the performance of the players was very, very good. ."
