I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

It is the best time for Manchester United to return to the top of the standings at this time, because next weekend, Manchester United will usher in a game with Liverpool, which is the world-famous double red meeting.

Even in recent years, Manchester United's main rival for the championship is no longer Liverpool (except for last season), but for every Manchester United, the game against Liverpool has a different meaning, which is incomparable with Manchester City's Manchester derby .

As an old Manchester United fan and now the manager of Manchester United, Ye Su is very aware of the significance of the Double Red Club.

In order to prepare for the first round of this season's Double Red Club, Ye Su even gave up the final round of the Europa League group stage.

Anyway, in the Europa League, they have already qualified one round ahead of schedule, so why spend so much energy on managing the Europa League? If he loses the Double Red Club because of this, he will definitely be scolded to death by Manchester United fans all over the world.

After all, the Europa League game against Turkey is at 6:00 pm on December 11th, local time in the UK, while the Double Red Club game is at 1:30 noon on December 14th. The time interval between the two games is even less than 72 hours. !

Therefore, what Ye Su brought to Turkey was a complete substitute lineup, and even Manchester United's second team was fine.

As for the main players, Ye Su didn't take any of them to Turkey, but asked Giggs to take them to Carrington Base for training.

Such an arrangement is almost giving up the competition with Besiktas for the first place in the Europa League group.

Although this Manchester United team, which was composed of all substitute players, played very tenaciously away, but it was not strong enough. In the end, it was defeated by the local super giants with a score of 0:1 and lost the first place in the group.

………………

Ye Su didn't care at all that the team only finished second in the Europa League group.

For him, as long as he can qualify for the Europa League, it doesn't make much difference whether he is first in the group or second in the group.

The Europa League is not like the UEFA Champions League, where there are a lot of giants. If you qualify second in the group, you will almost have to touch the giants, which will have a fatal impact on the team's continued promotion.

In this season's Europa League, Manchester United is the well-deserved number one favorite. Even the former Serie A Triple Crown Inter Milan is now far inferior to Manchester United.

As for Liverpool, which fell from the Champions League to the Europa League, it is no longer the powerful Liverpool of last year.

After losing Su Ya, Liverpool is like a tiger with its teeth stripped. Not only did it lose its strength last season in the Premier League, it also performed poorly in the Champions League. In 6 group matches, he was double-killed by Real Madrid. He only scored 1 draw and 1 loss against Basel. With 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, they got 5 points and were almost out of the bottom.

However, Sevilla, known as the king of the Europa League, is a bit of a headache. After all, this is a magical team with a halo bonus in the Europa League.

Although Liverpool's performance this season was extremely poor, Ye Su did not dare to neglect at all. For a game like the Double Red Club, the team's performance must not be measured by ordinary performance, otherwise it will suffer a big loss.

Moreover, before the start of the double red game, Chelsea had already won the current round of the game, thus once again snatching the top spot from Manchester United with a 1-point advantage.

In this game, Manchester United can't afford to lose.

………………

The two teams had a total of 190 encounters. Manchester United had a slight advantage with 75 wins, 51 draws and 64 losses. In the league, Manchester United also had an advantage with 63 wins, 44 draws and 55 losses. In the 44 games played by the CCP in the Premier League, Manchester United has the upper hand with 23 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses. However, Manchester United was double-killed by Liverpool at home and away last season. Manchester United has achieved 10 wins and 2 losses at home against Liverpool nearly 12 times.

The two teams fought three games last season. In the first round of the league, Manchester United lost 0:1 away and 0:3 at home. They were double-killed by Liverpool this season.

But in the third round of the League Cup, Manchester United eliminated Liverpool 1-0 at home.

Because Manchester United adopted a comprehensive rotation in the Europa League in the middle of the week, Ye Su played the strongest team without any reservations in this game. Goalkeeper De Gea, back line Kyle Walker, Van Dijk, Maguire and Luke Shaw, Kanter as a midfielder, Mata and De Bruyne double midfielder, Vardy, Rooney and Bruno Fernandez Form a striker trident.

While Liverpool Balotelli came back but did not start, coach Rodgers also used a 433 formation. Goalkeeper Jones, back four Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel and Moreno, Henderson, Joe Allen and captain Gerrard in midfield, Coutinho, Sterling and Lallana in front The field is actually a frontless formation.

………………

It is true that the Double Red Club cannot be analyzed with ordinary eyes and logic. After the start of the game, Liverpool took the lead in attacking Manchester United's goal and completed the first shot of the audience.

In the 2nd minute, Liverpool took a corner kick and Lovren shot in the penalty area, but there was no threat and was easily confiscated by De Gea.

Even if the recent state is not good, it is impossible for Liverpool to be willing to see the team lagging behind. They immediately launched a counterattack. Liverpool players used active running and fighting to seize the initiative on the field and formed consecutive shots.

In the 18th minute, Sterling broke through with the ball and could not choose to pass the ball to Gerrard. The Liverpool captain bent his bow in front of the penalty area and shot a long shot at the Manchester United goal. However, he played too positively, allowing De Gea, who had been prepared, to easily capture it.

In the 23rd minute, Liverpool launched an offensive again. Sterling took the ball past Maguire in the penalty area and shot from a small angle from 7 yards from the left rib. De Gea blocked it and the ball hit the post and went out of the bottom line.

Facing a small and quick player like Sterling, Manchester United's two tall central defenders seemed a little difficult to deal with.

Just when Liverpool's offensive started, it was interrupted by what happened on the field. Liverpool defender Glenn Johnson suddenly sat on the turf.

Kolo Toure replaced the injured Glenn Johnson, who appeared to have a strained groin.

The confrontation between the two sides was very fierce. Liverpool's Joe Allen and Manchester United's Maguire both received yellow cards.

At the end of the intermission, Rogers chose to make substitutions and adjustments. Bashen replaced Lallana, and Liverpool changed to 4321.

In the 51st minute, Liverpool almost pulled back a victory. Under the close press of the Liverpool players, Vardy chose to pass back to the goalkeeper, but the ball was intercepted by Sterling in the middle.

Sterling dribbled the ball into the Manchester United penalty area and got a chance to face De Gea single-handedly, but the Liverpool teenager seemed a little lacking in confidence when facing the attacking De Gea. He chose a low shot and was once again de Gea with a **** The posture is blocked.

Manchester United immediately responded, De Bruyne and Mata cooperated in the middle and sent a scalpel-like through ball, finding Rooney in the penalty area. However, Lu Xiaopang's shot was not powerful, and the angle was relatively straight, so it was blocked by Liverpool goalkeeper Jones. Then Vardy's shot from the ribs of the penalty area also missed the goal.

After being attacked by Manchester United for a while, Liverpool attacked again and besieged Manchester United's goal.

In the 67th minute, Coutinho passed back from the right, and Balotelli shot from 8 yards from the right rib. De Gea made a pounce, and the ball bounced off the lower edge of the crossbar.
