The Strongest Demon Front

Latest website: Thirty-six.

thirty-seven.

With two goals against Brighton, Chu Ge's league goals reached thirty-seven!

Thirty-seven goals in thirty-seven league games.

On average, one goal is scored in each league round.

This kind of scoring efficiency is amazing.

Using more than 30 games throughout the season as a benchmark for assessment, in the past decade or two, only Messi and Ronaldo have achieved such goal efficiency many times. And these two players, without exception, are the two most outstanding human football players in the past ten years and even to this day.

Now, after experience, Chu Ge seems to be getting closer to these two superstars.

There is one game left in the Premier League this season. But considering that Chu Ge does not play in every game this season. Therefore, even if he does not score in the last round of the league, it will not affect his record of averaging more than one goal per game in the league this season.

However, compared to the two great stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, Chu Ge still needs more seasons and more stable and sustained scoring data to completely prove that he has stood at the same level as these two people.

For this season alone, when comparing the goalscoring efficiency of top strikers from major clubs in the five major leagues, Chu Ge is already number one.

He surpassed Barcelona's Messi, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, Liverpool's Salah, Paris Saint-Germain's Cavani, and Lazio's Immobile to become the star with the most goals and the most efficiency in the entire European League.

Even counting European competitions and domestic cup competitions, Chu Ge is still the player with the most goals.

It is still too early to say that he is already the number one forward in the world, but at least it can be said that Chu Ge is already one of the top forwards in Europe.

As long as he maintains his form this season, he will probably be number one in the world.

…

After the league ended, Manchester United quickly ushered in their next game.

European Champions League.

Second leg clash with Roma.

Previously, before the league match against Arsenal, Manchester United played the first leg against Roma.

That match was played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

After ninety minutes of the game, neither team scored a goal, and the score remained at zero to zero.

It was precisely because of that game that the physical fitness of Manchester United players was affected. Back in the league, they were held to a draw by Arsenal. Manchester City seized this opportunity and narrowed the points gap with Manchester United. The suspense of winning the Premier League was maintained until the final round of the league.

now.

The league competition has come to an end for the time being, and the Champions League competition has reignited.

The second leg against Roma became a life and death battle for Manchester United in the Champions League.

Beat Roma and they can advance to the final.

And if they lose, Manchester United's Champions League journey will stop here, stopping in front of the train to Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine.

This season’s Champions League final will be played at Dynamo Kyiv’s Olympic Stadium.

Before the game started, Manchester United fans pulled up banners early at Old Trafford.

"Please take us to Ukraine."

Fans are eager for the final.

The last time Manchester United appeared in the Champions League final was seven years ago.

At that time, Manchester United's head coach was Sir Alex Ferguson, who was retiring this season.

After seven years of waiting, Manchester United once again stood at the threshold of the Champions League final. Fans eagerly hope that their team can reach the final so that Ferguson can have the most honorable way to complete his coaching at Manchester United.

…

When Chu Ge walked into Old Trafford, all the fans stood up and cheered.

The fans welcomed their captain with the warmest applause.

Chu Ge saw the banner in the stands.

He glanced back at Ferguson.

Ferguson smiled and pressed his hand on him, indicating to Chu Ge that he should not care about the fans' slogans, just calm down and enjoy the game.

This is what Ferguson said to the Manchester United players before the game.

Ferguson is already very satisfied with reaching the Champions League semi-finals.

At this stage of the game, the team's strength is not as important as in previous games. The players' willpower and mentality will become the key to the outcome of the game.

Ferguson doesn't want the players to have too much psychological pressure.

Ferguson looked at the Roma dugout.

There stood a coach who was somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Italian di Francesco.

Roma's results in the league this season are not very satisfactory. Not only are they lagging behind their old rival Juventus, but they are also behind Napoli. They are only ranked third in the league and have withdrawn from the competition for the league championship early.

But perhaps because of this, Roma put more passion into the Champions League.

They eliminated Shakhtar Donetsk and Barcelona and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Especially the game in which Barcelona fell behind 1:4 in an away game and finally achieved an incredible comeback at home. The whole world was amazed by it and became a classic in the history of the Champions League.

It was precisely because of that game that no one would be surprised if Roma eliminated Manchester United and entered the final.

They have the capital to create miracles.

…

The game starts soon.

As in the previous game, Ferguson once again sent out the strongest lineup he could without reservation.

Three days later, Manchester United will usher in the final round of the league.

Seven days later, there will be the FA Cup final.

Ten days later, it’s the Champions League final.

In just one week, three crucial games await Manchester United.

If they can reach the final, it will be four decisive games in ten days.

However, Ferguson had no time to think about more.

Since every game is a decisive battle, let the storm come more violently.

…

Roma: Alisson, Kolarov, Fazio, Acerbi, Florenzi, De Rossi, Nainggolan, Pellegrini, Shaarawy, Schick, Dzeko.

They are a 4123 formation.

Or rather, 433.

Manchester United: De Gea, Luke Shaw, Manolas, Van Dijk, Valencia, Pogba, Kante, Lingard, Mbappe, Rashford, Chu Ge.

United's formation was one of two they have been used to playing this season, 4-3-3.

Zhan Jun analyzed: "Before the game, some media predicted that Manchester United would use their three-back formation to restrain Roma's wingers. This style of play has achieved good results when facing Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. However, , Ferguson didn’t do that. He still chose the four-back formation that he was more accustomed to.”

"Maybe Manchester United's style of play in this game is based on me."

…

After the game started, both teams were a little cautious.

No one took the risk of pressing forward.

The first-round confrontation allowed both sides to get to know each other a little bit, and the 0:0 score also made today's game a little subtle.

No one wants to be scored first by the opponent.

As a result, the two teams competed more near the midfield, and their offensive choices were relatively conservative.

Chu Ge and Mbappe took turns to retreat to help the team control the ball.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United's possession rate was significantly higher than that of Roma.

If you change your clothes and say this is the match between Manchester City and Roma, some people may believe it.

Because Manchester United plays a ball-control style of play that is somewhat similar to Guardiola's.

Control the ball at your feet and constantly mobilize your opponents with short passes and runs.

Chu Ge knew it very well.

Although Roma's ball possession rate is obviously behind, the Italian team is good at giving up ball possession tactics. They will always find an opportunity to counterattack suddenly in a seemingly unfavorable situation, and then make a precise long pass or several quick forward passes to send the football to the frontcourt and hand it to the striker to kill it with one hit and kill it instantly. Contest.

Chu Ge has experience playing for Inter Milan.

He is very familiar with the traditional Italian counterattack routine.

Therefore, Chu Ge paid great attention to his position.

He did not risk staying in the frontcourt, but always paid attention to keeping a distance from the full-back Valencia, not giving Roma a chance to counterattack behind him.

Mbappe: Me too.

Since the two wingers are positioned somewhat deep, Rashford and Pogba are often the only ones in the frontcourt. Manchester United's possession area is more concentrated in the midfield, and there are not many forward passes.

Rome is not in a hurry either.

Since they couldn't find a good offensive opportunity, they simply stopped attacking and stayed on their own side. Even Dzeko and Schick retreated to the defensive area and did not take the initiative to attack.

The first half of the game was uneventful.

The two teams ended the forty-five minute game with a goalless draw.

…

As usual, Zhan Jun summarized the shooting situation of the two teams in the first half.

"Manchester United shot a total of four times, two by Lingard, one by Valencia and one by Chu Ge. Including Chu Ge, three shots took place outside the penalty area. Chu Ge's shot hit the goal frame and was Roma goalkeeper Alisson made a save, and the other two shots missed and one was blocked by a defender."

"Roma had zero shots in the first half. They had several attacks, but they were all destroyed by Manchester United's defensive players and did not result in a final goal."

"Judging from the first half, Roma's best player was De Rossi. He made several defensive stops and promptly cut off Chu Ge's contact with other players, making it impossible for Manchester United to organize their offense. And Manchester United performed the best. The good thing is Van Dijk, both Schick and Dzeko were defeated in Van Dijk's defensive zone."

"Chu Ge's performance in the first half was generally pretty good, but he was just a little less active."

Chu Ge is obviously the player that Chinese fans pay the most attention to.

Teacher Zhan Jun also analyzed Chu Ge's performance more.

"His breakthroughs and dribbling are as sharp as ever. However, it may be that too many games at the end of the league have affected his physical fitness. Chu Ge's running distance has decreased. Although it is not less than Messi, it is compared to the beginning of the season. In the competition, there is still a relatively obvious decline.”

"The running distance has decreased, but Chu Ge is still Manchester United's most threatening player. Manchester United's most threatening shot in the entire first half came from Chu Ge. It's a pity that his shot was a little far away from the goal. Roma goalkeeper Alli Sen had enough reaction time to finally block Chu Ge’s shot.”

"It is worth mentioning that the Roma goalkeeper also performed very well today."

"If the two teams continue not to score in the second half of today's game, the game will enter overtime or even a penalty kick. Roma may be more willing to take penalty kicks with Manchester United."

"If the game really enters the penalty kick stage, no matter what the final result is, Manchester United will consume a lot of energy. This will form a great burden for each of their players. Manchester United is one of the top five European leagues this season. The only team in the world that may win the treble, this is a reward for their outstanding performance this season, and it is also a challenge that Manchester United players must face. Compared with Roma, they may be more willing to play for ninety minutes It ends within a minute, rather than dragging it into a penalty shootout."
