Chapter 203： Challenging the Premier League order

On January 31, Manchester United's soldiers traveled by bus to the Stoke area to adapt to the Bet365 stadium in advance and prepare for tomorrow's league.

Sitting in the bus, Jin Taige was filled with emotion.

Today is the last day of January. Looking back at the past 30 days, it is really a busy month.

In January, Manchester United won all the matches, with four league games, two League Cups, two FA Cups and eight consecutive victories, which allowed Manchester United to make rapid progress on all fronts and to advance towards the goal of King Taige .

In January, Kintag experienced hardships and finally welcomed three new aids from De Brauner, Nainggolan and Salah.

In January, Jin Taige sent away Anderson, a lonely and surly man.

In January, because of the demand for a salary increase, he had a contradiction with Rooney, and eventually the generals disagree and fall apart. Although he was still reluctant to stay with the team this winter, Jintaige had already made up his mind. During the summer transfer period, he must clear Rooney out of the team!

The last important thing in January is to change the Champions League list.

Before Jintaige led the team, he had adjusted the list of players participating in the knockout. The maximum number of participants in the Champions League is 25. At the beginning of this season, Manchester United's first team had a total of 24 people, so Kintag only reported 24 people. Because of Anderson's departure this winter, the list is missing one more person. Gingerte readjusted Fletcher to the list, leaving only 22 people on the list. With three vacated places, Jintaige reported all three new aids in winter. At this point, the 25-member squad is strong and strong, and Jintaige looks forward to the Champions League knockout!

Although at the beginning of the season, Jin Taige shouted the slogan of the Triple Crown, but Jin Tai Ge asked himself, he thinks that the possibility of winning the Triple Crown this season is really small.

Kintag is not an arrogant man. He understands that with the current starting lineup of Manchester United, it is not a top configuration in the Premier League, let alone compared with other European giants? Although this season, they have introduced several outstanding young new aids, but they are far worse than Ronaldo and Messi. Regardless of Debrune, Salah, Mahrez, Icardi, they are not big stars in the next generation. If they want to honor their talents, they need time and discipline. These all depend on competition and training. Accumulation, can't rush.

Don't talk about your current lineup. Even in the previous seasons, Sir Alex Ferguson has been smashing in the Champions League, and has not made a breakthrough. Scholes retired this season, Giggs and other veterans also began to decline in state and physical strength. With the current player lineup and state, it is really difficult to win the Champions League.

Nevertheless, Jin Taige still shouted the slogan of Triple Crown.

Because he knew in his mind that for football games, this is often the case-to win, and to lose.

If at the beginning of the season, I told my players that the goal of this season is to maintain the top four Champions League seats, and then try to play in the Champions League to get the team out.

If this is the case, then the players who have estimated to have completed their goals are already slacking off.

Now Jintaige only wants to win the League Cup and win Manchester City; then he desperately grabs points in the league to win the defending league title; in the Champions League, Jintaige can only do his best.

On February 1, the winter transfer period ended.

In this winter transfer period, there was not much deal in European football. The original Rooney was expected to change the court, but it did not happen, and eventually stayed at Manchester United; Manchester United is considered a relatively expensive club, they bought Three new aids.

Chelsea bought Matic, and then sent the sensible veteran Essien to AC Milan. Mata, who performed very well last season, was rumored to be at odds with Mourinho, and eventually did not transfer.

The other teams are just minor repairs and no major moves.

The Debrune and Salahs who changed their clubs showed their value on the court. The Rooney and Mata who wanted to leave but did not leave also worked hard and were ready to use excellent performance. And good condition paves the way for your future.

In the afternoon of February 1, Manchester United faced Stoke City at the Bet365 stadium.

Manchester United have played against Stoke City twice this season. The first time was in the ninth round of the Premier League. At the time, Manchester United lost 0-2 at home and were taken away by opponents for three points. The second match was In the quarter-finals of the League Cup, at the time on the road, Manchester United won the opponent 3-0 with ease and advanced smoothly.

Today is the third time the two teams have met this season.

This season, in addition to the traditional Premier League semi-finals, three teams have also performed very well, namely Everton, Southampton and Stoke City.

Under the leadership of Moyes, Everton continues to threaten the traditional order of the top six; Southampton has achieved good results with the team of talented players.

But the sudden rise of Stoke City surprised many people. Stoke City ’s play this season is very simple ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is the pass from the midfielder to the penalty area to solve the problem. Several tall centers in the team are in excellent form. Wenji and Manchester United have Campbell, three strikers combined have scored 16 goals, and midfielder Charlie Adam has scored 5 goals, this season they even hope to compete for an UEFA Cup Tickets.

So for Stoke City, this game is also eye-catching.

Jin Taige didn't dare to underestimate his opponents, he still ranked his strongest lineup, and tried his best on the road.

However, just 18 minutes into the game, Stoke City scored.

This time it was the pass of midfielder Charlie Adam. Crouch headered the ball, Manchester United veteran Campbell shot in front of the net and broke the net.

1 to 0! Stoke City leads!

In the next game, Manchester United encountered a lot of trouble again. In this game, Stoke City actually ejected a lineup of three forwards, which is obviously a rhythm of wanting to score three points. In the face of the opponent's offense, Manchester United's defensive players' attention is particularly focused to prevent losing the ball again, but also to try to equalize the score as soon as possible.

Towards the end of the first half, Crouch's header was firmly held by De Gea, he kicked the ball forward with a big foot. At this time, Mahrez on the left rushed with the ball and broke through. After the Stoke City defense line, Van Persie had already waited in front of the door, Mahrez made a long pass with a foot to the ground and went straight to Van Persie.

Stoke goalkeeper Begovic had long since stuck in place, blocking Van Persie's line of receiving the ball.

But no one expected that a figure was suddenly shot at the previous point, a hammer, and the ball was severely hit into the net.

It was Rooney who scored the goal!

1 to 1! Manchester United equalized the score!
