I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 118: The first battle against Uncle Scum

After the first round of the League Cup semi-final at home established the advantage of advancing to this round of knockout rounds, the Manchester United players had less than three days of rest before ushering in the next game: the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United played against Sheffield United at home.

In this game, Ye Su played with a rotation lineup and finally defeated Sheffield United 1-0 at home. Rooney scored the only goal of the game and Mata sent a key assist.

After successfully advancing to the fourth round of the FA Cup, Ye Su, Wayne Rooney, De Bruyne and many other Manchester United players rushed to Switzerland together.

In the early hours of January 12th, Beijing time, the FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony was successfully held at the FIFA Headquarters in Zurich.

As the champions of the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League last season, Manchester United is one of the best performing teams in Europe. Naturally, many members of the team were shortlisted for this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Among them, Ye Su, as the head coach of Manchester United, was shortlisted for the final three-man list of the best coaches, while Rooney, the captain and biggest player of the team, was shortlisted for the final three-man list of the Golden Globe Awards. The top three players are shortlisted for the best team of the year, which is the team with the largest number of players selected for the best team except for the Champions League champions.

However, in Zurich, apart from three Manchester United players receiving the trophy of the best team, the Manchester United people were not able to collect any awards. Rooney lost to Messi and Ronaldo, and finally ranked third in the Ballon d'Or; Ye Su also lost to Enrique, and missed the best coach.

The release of the Golden Globe has caused a lot of stimulation to some Manchester United players. After all, this is the highest honor in a football player's career. And Messi, who won the Ballon d'Or for the fifth time, has become the envy and hatred of players all over the world.

For a super giant like Manchester United, the main players, especially star players, have the potential to hit the Golden Globe Award.

In fact, given the Golden Globe Award's favor for the UEFA Champions League, if it were not for the World Cup or the European Cup and other world competitions, the Golden Globe winner would basically be in the Champions League championship lineup.

Of course, the situation in recent years is somewhat special. The existence of Messi and Ronaldo, the pair of peerless twins, has monopolized the Golden Globe Award (World Footballer) for nearly eight years.

However, if it is a player with great influence in the world like Rooney, if he can lead his team to win the Champions League, especially in the case of his own outstanding performance, it is still possible to break Messi and Ronaldo's expectations for the Ballon d'Or Monopoly.

………………

Although he lost to Messi and Ronaldo in the final selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or last year, Rooney was not discouraged by this, but saw his hope of winning the Ballon d'Or. This proved that what Ye Su said in the conversation with him was possible, and the boxer became more and more motivated to fight.

However, football games are often full of surprises. Take Rooney for example. Although Rooney performed extremely well in the next 21st round of the Premier League against Newcastle and scored twice, Manchester United still failed to win. St. James' Park retreated and was tied 3:3 by the Magpies.

In this game, Manchester United led 2:0 and 3:2 twice, but failed to withstand Newcastle's counterattack and was tied by goals from Wijnaldum, Mitrovic and Dumet.

This is also the first time since Ye Su became the head coach of Manchester United, after the team achieved a two-goal lead, they failed to win in the end.

Newcastle can also be regarded as setting a record with Ye Su's Manchester United as the background.

However, this draw is irrelevant, on the one hand because Manchester United's lead is too large, on the other hand, because Manchester United's main competitors in this round, except for the Blue Fox's 1-0 victory over Tottenham in the away game, the results are not very good. ideal. Manchester City was tied 0:0 by Toffees at the Etihad Stadium, while Arsenal played a 3:3 big score match with the home team at Anfield like Manchester United. Under such circumstances, Manchester United's point advantage has hardly changed.

………………

After failing to take all three points for the third time in the Premier League this season, Manchester United ushered in the second round of this season's Double Red Club, visiting Anfield to challenge rivals Liverpool.

This will be the first time Ye Su led his team to play against Klopp.

After Klopp took over Liverpool, although the Red Army's record has improved, the Premier League ranking has not changed much. Before Uncle Zha took over Liverpool, the Red Army's league ranking was 10th in the Premier League. After Klopp coached the league for 11 rounds, the record was 5 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. Liverpool ranked 9th in the Premier League.

However, Ye Su will not despise Uncle Zha because he has not brought any major changes to Liverpool during this period. He has another time and space memory, and he is very aware of Klopp's achievements in Liverpool. His changes to Liverpool are subtle, and although the effect is slow, it is real.

………………

In this game, although Ye Su implemented the rotation policy, Rooney, who was extremely aggressive, started consecutively. Manchester United's starting lineup is also 442, with Rooney and Kane playing double forwards. The 4 midfielders are Vardy, De Bruyne, Martial and Kanter. Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Kyle Walker formed the backline, with De Gea in goal.

After the game started, Liverpool, who were playing at home, played very tough amidst the cheers and cheers of the home team fans. However, they did not rarely get fouled for this.

In the 3rd minute, Henderson overwhelmed Martial from the rear and Manchester United got a free kick from the left. De Bruyne took the ball, but the first point was pushed out by Liverpool and failed to create any threat.

In the 9th minute, Liverpool counterattacked, Lucas passed to Lallana over the top, Lallana headed the goal and was saved by De Gea, Lallana stopped the ball and gave it to Firmino, Firmino Nuo followed up with a long shot and the ball went slightly wide; 2 minutes later, Liverpool had a chance, Milner came to the right side of the penalty area and volleyed the goal, but the ball was not held down.

...

In the first half hour, Manchester United was in a state of passive defense. Klopp's high-pressure pressing tactics caused Manchester United to have some problems with the ball in the midfield, making it difficult to play a smooth offense.

However, high-pressure pressing tactics require extremely high physical fitness. After 30 minutes of the game, Manchester United finally took control of the scene. But it was just to control the situation. Manchester United failed to score in the first half and break the deadlock on the field.

After halftime, Liverpool temporarily tied with Manchester United 0:0 at home.

Although the score was tied at 0:0, the scene was definitely not dull. On the contrary, the scene was very intense, and the two sides were confronting each other anytime and anywhere.

For such a scene, Ye Su looked very calm, but Klopp frowned.
