I am the king of football

Chapter 234: Battle Returns
The winning streak ended, but the unbeaten streak continued. Logically speaking, Manchester United's performance this season is still very amazing.

However, as one of the Premier League's top clubs and the focus of media opinion, the Red Devils have always been the focus of attention of all top media outlets.

The articles that previously reported their winning streak and the super genius Qin Hu had already made the public somewhat aesthetically fatigued. Now that the opportunity had come, they did not want to let it go so easily.

So, that evening, after the Manchester United bus returned to Manchester and the players disbanded on the spot, the latest reports had already been released.

"It's still the same old problem. The Red Devils' defense may become the biggest obstacle on the road to the championship!"

"Relaxed? The slack Manchester United gave Chelsea the chance to equalize."

"At a disadvantage, in a heavyweight battle, Qin only scored one goal!"

From Manchester United's defense to the Red Devils' spirit, and finally to commenting on Qin Hu, whose performance in this game was slightly inferior to Torres and Van Persie, various media outlets have almost covered all the topics that can be related to Manchester United.

In fact, it is quite funny in essence. Since Qin Hu joined Manchester United, both his average number of goals per game and his consecutive goal records have been amazing. Now he is also the unrivaled top scorer in the league.

It's not like he didn't score a goal in this game. As a center forward on the field, he also contributed to the team's other two goals. Now the media are reporting that he scored fewer goals than Torres. I can only say that there is really nothing to say.

However, considering Qin Hu's young age, Ferguson, who cares about him, sent a message to Qin Hu as soon as he saw this ridiculous report from Sky Sports.

Qin Hu was flattered by the coach's concern, and then he happily replied that he was fine.

Ferguson still doesn't know Qin Hu well enough. If Qin Hu is a player who tries his best to win on the court, then he is the most carefree player off the court.

Since he first came into contact with a ball, Qin Hu, under the training of Li Xiang, has been guided by the mentality of trying his best on the court and letting things take their own course off the court. This has enabled Qin Hu to go through countless times of inexplicable losses for various reasons.

Now, even looking for trouble in front of reporters and media has to be done with caution. Qin Hu didn't take it to heart. After the team was disbanded, he did not return to Manchester with them but stayed in London and had a leisurely dinner with Lin Lan.

Compared to Manchester, Qin Hu's fame in London is not yet known to everyone, which allows him to comfortably experience the joy of shopping without wearing sunglasses and a mask.

The next day, the team reunited at the training base in the afternoon. Although they had to go to Stamford Bridge for another battle three days later, considering the consumption of this battle, Ferguson still gave the players half a day off.

This half-day holiday once flattered the veterans who had experienced the era of their boss' iron-fisted rule. When Ferguson was young, he would not do such a thing as to fake the game when the team was equalized. It can only be said that the old coach has really grown old and gentler.

When the team regrouped on the training ground, everyone's unwillingness to accept the defeat was still obvious. They were tied by their opponents when the score was 2-0, and then they were equalized by their opponents when they finally took the lead again.

Who can come to Manchester United is not a proud genius? Now the team's winning streak has been ended in such a humiliating way, coupled with the media's incitement, everyone's desire to avenge Chelsea is extremely strong.

"Okay, let's start training!"

Therefore, Ferguson didn't even need to do any mobilization. When he announced the start of training, all the Red Devils players began to train enthusiastically.

This is exactly what Sir Alex Ferguson wants. No matter how the winning streak is won, the players can only remember that they won, which will undoubtedly lead to pride and laziness. As an experienced coach, Ferguson has experienced countless times that the team lost key battles because of this kind of emotion. Sometimes it is not the best to win all the time. The most important thing is the team's stable state and the mentality to be able to deal with any opponent positively.

The battle with Chelsea was definitely very exhausting. When the team resumed training in full swing, the team's starting defense in that match had problems first.

Ferdinand's hamstring continued to show signs of fatigue, and the team doctor diagnosed him with needing rest after examination. Rafael also sprained his ankle during a shuttle run in training, which was obviously related to the excessive consumption in the previous game.

In addition, even Van Persie showed symptoms of muscle soreness. Ferguson did not dare to be careless and let these players with injuries reduce the intensity of training if they were too tired.

As expected, the players who were on the bench in the last round of the team have had a high-intensity training camp. Ferguson must choose among these players who are qualified to start in the next game.

Time passed by minute by minute. Compared with Manchester United, Chelsea, which had experienced that great battle, received a piece of great news - Lampard returned.

The Blues leader who suffered a calf injury in the Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk has recovered from the injury at an astonishing speed in less than half a month. If nothing unexpected happens, this top midfielder will definitely appear in the League Cup match against Manchester United.

After seeing this news, the whole Manchester United team is undoubtedly a little bit at a loss. Their overall state of the team is not good now, but the opponent has returned a general. It is really hard to say about the upcoming League Cup.

Fortunately, the anger caused by the opponent's equalizer is still there, and at least the team's morale has not been affected by this incident.

After all, the Red Devils' lineup is full of veterans who have defeated Lampard many times. With them in charge, this Manchester United will still be the ever-indomitable Red Devils.

"For tomorrow's game, we'll play 4231!"

Three days passed in a flash. When the entire Manchester United team gathered in their own tactical room, Ferguson lined up the team's starting lineup for the League Cup.

Compared with the league, this kind of one-game-deciding duel requires more caution in deployment of troops. With several key players on the team not in good form, Ferguson chose to play it safe.

"Qin, single striker."

Yongyuan Qin, a man who is always as fierce as a tiger. Except for the necessary rotations arranged by the team, his preparation state has always been top-notch, which even his other teammates admire very much.

"Rooney and Hernandez on the left and right wingers, Shinji Kagawa in the attacking midfielder, and Scholes and Carrick in the defensive midfielder."

Ferguson went all in and fielded all the main players who were on the bench. Scholes, who was in excellent form, replaced Cleverley.

"Four defenders, Butner, Vidic, Evans, Evra, and goalkeeper De Gea."

The best starting lineup in the current state is all arranged to appear on the field. This is a life-and-death battle where it is either you or me!
