Chapter 607: He's Serious!
Until February 2009, the knockout stages of the Champions League will need to be a good fixture in the next fixtures so that they can focus on European competition when the knockout stages of the Champions League come up.
Why is it the Devil's Race?
Just look at Manchester United's fixtures back in the Premier League from the Club World Cup.
On December 26, 2008, just after Christmas, Manchester United played away against Stoke City in the 19th round of the league.
Just two days later, on December 28, the 20th round of the league began. Manchester United host Middlesbrough.
On January 4, 2009, in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United hosted Southampton away.
Three days later, on 7 January, in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, Manchester United played away to Derby County.
Then, four days later, on 11 January, in the 21st round of the league, a match between Mars and Earth, Manchester United hosted Chelsea.
Three days later, on 14 January, the 18th round of the league was played, with Manchester United hosting Atletico Wigan.
Three days later, on 17 January, in the 22nd round of the league, Manchester United played away to Boulder.
Three days later, on 20 January, in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, Manchester United played Derby County at home.
Four days later, on 24 January, matchday for the fourth round of the FA Cup, of course, this builds on Manchester United's ability to knock out Southampton in the third round of the FA Cup.
Three days later, on 27 January, in the 23rd round of the league, Manchester United played West Bromwich Albion away.
Three days later, on January 30, in the 24th round of the league, Manchester United played Everton at home.
So far, January 2009 has passed, and Manchester United has finally temporarily gotten rid of the days of two games a week, so that in 36 days, Manchester United has to play eleven games, an average of one game in three days, that is to say, Manchester United has been a double game a week for more than a month, and there are three games a week!
Such a dense event!
The Premier League, the League Cup, the FA Cup, Manchester United's three-tier battles, this is the devil's schedule in the absolute sense.
In fact, every season in the Premier League, the teams that can have the last laugh and win the league championship are able to persevere in the devil's schedule. Once you fall behind in the Devil's schedule, it will be difficult to recover points in the following games.
The "Daily Mirror" listed the Manchester United team's schedule for the next month or so, and Manchester United fans gasped when they saw this dense game.
Some media outlets have even asserted in advance that the next month will be a decisive month for Manchester United, and if it is not done, it will be Manchester United's grave. They have raised questions about whether United will survive the Devil's schedule.
The media in London are certain that the next month will put United in a bad situation, and this is a good chance for Chelsea to overtake Manchester United.
The devil's schedule is not only for Manchester United, but also for Chelsea, in addition to one less Premier League match than Manchester United, in this more than a month, to play ten games, the same competition, but the London media is still optimistic about Chelsea, to cheer Chelsea, why is this? In the eyes of Londoners, now for Chelsea, the most beneficial thing is fitness!
That's right, it's physical fitness!
Manchester United is playing in the Club World Cup, and it is impossible not to be physically affected, in addition, Manchester United has three games a week, and once there is a mistake, it is likely to trigger a domino effect: consecutive defeats!
You must know that there is no winter break in the Premier League, and halfway through the season, the physical fitness of the players has already reached a limit, and at this time, the loss of a game and the ups and downs of the player's state may trigger a chain effect.

In the face of media doubts, Yang Fan, as an important star of the Manchester United team, made no secret of his desire and confidence for victory, "The devil's schedule? I didn't see it, I only noticed that if we keep winning, we can win 11 games in more than a month, which makes people happy to think about!"
What arrogant words are these?!
What an arrogant word this is?!
Liverpudlians, Londoners, they were furious. The media is also criticizing Yang Fan, believing that he is too arrogant, and some media are also accusing Yang Fan of being too arrogant and lacking the necessary respect for his opponents.
For these criticisms, Yang Fan sneered, you look down on us, saying that we will fall behind in the devil's schedule, I just stood up to express the confidence of victory, and it became arrogant?!
Other media criticized Yang Fan for being too arrogant, but the Manchester media and Manchester United fans were applauding Yang Fan.
Yang Fan's arrogance and self-confidence are exactly what Manchester United needs at this time. In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo and Yang Fan, these two people have their own pride, however, Ronaldo is now more restrained than when he first debuted, and he will not say such arrogant words, even if Ronaldo thinks so in his heart, he will not say this, but Yang Fan, what he has to say, it can be said that he is domineering. Yang Fan's proud character is different from Cristiano Ronaldo's pride, his character is more straightforward!
Such a Yang Fan reminds Manchester United fans of a person, their king Cantona, the same pride, the same unruly, the same straightforward!
Some media also began to compare Yang Fan with Cantona, calling Yang Fan Cantona's successor and the new king of Manchester United. Yang Fan may like the latter title, he may not like the previous title, he doesn't want to be the successor of anyone, he is Yang Fan, Yang Fan I!
On 23 December, Manchester United hosted a Christmas dinner for all the players and their families.
Almost all the players are accompanied by their wives or girlfriends, which makes Yang Fan, who is alone, look so conspicuous. He originally called Emma and asked him to come over and accompany him to the club dinner, but Emma had to accompany her aunt Julia Roberts to a large Christmas party in Hollywood and couldn't come, and Emma also had to accompany her family in the United States during Christmas, so Yang Fan could only spend the whole Christmas alone.
This made Yang Fan's mood more or less affected.
The only consolation for him was that at the Christmas party, the club gave the players the championship bonus of the Club World Cup, as well as the bonus for the first place in the group stage of the Champions League.
There is no Valentine's Christmas, Yang Fan put more time on training, he returned home from the training ground, and he entered the dungeon again for training, in the final of the Club World Cup and the Universidad de Sport de Quito, Yang Fan scored the goal of getting rid of the opponent's heavy encirclement, This goal, in a certain way, thanks to his hard training in the dungeon, Yang Fan has been insisting on practicing in the dungeon to get rid of the situation of multiple people, especially worth mentioning is that he is in this training in the dungeon, defending him is Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra and other top teammates, this level of training, for Yang Fan's sharpening and strength is of great help.
This goal made Yang Fan taste the sweetness, he paid more and more attention to the practice of the dungeon, you must know that as the season began to enter the off-duty schedule, both the league and the Champions League have entered the white-hot stage, and the strength of the opponent is getting stronger and stronger, especially in the Champions League, Manchester United may encounter the giants of various leagues, Yang Fan also has to face a lot of top defensive stars with different characteristics, in this case, his hard training in the copy will be of great benefit and necessary for his progress and for him to cope with the next important games in a better state。

On December 26, 2008, just after Christmas, Manchester United played away against Stoke City in the 19th round of the league.
It's not a heavyweight matchup, but the media in England are still watching to see how Manchester United perform in the Premier League after returning from the Club World Cup, and whether the fitness and fitness of the players will be affected by the Club World Cup.
In the end, in this game, Manchester United won 1-0, and Yang Fan assisted Tevez who came on as a substitute to score a goal, which was also the only goal of the game.
A narrow one-goal win over Stoke City, who are in the relegation zone, gave United the three points they had hoped, but it only made some of the media more excited about the club's form and fitness. It was so difficult for a team like Stoke City to win and it took more than 80 minutes to score, and it looked like Manchester United were really tired.
In this round of the league, Liverpool beat Bolton Wanderers 3-0 and Chelsea beat Stoke City 2-0.
In the standings, the standings have not changed, with Chelsea in third place and Liverpool and Manchester United tied for first place. However, given the process of winning these three teams, the leading position of Manchester United seems to be in jeopardy.
However, just two days later, Yang Fan used his excellent performance to repel everyone's doubts about Manchester United!
In the 20th round of the league, Manchester United's home match with Middlesbrough, Yang Fan scored twice, leading Manchester United to a 4-0 victory over Middlesbrough!
"Won one, there are still ten games to ......," Yang Fan said in his tweet, the young star with a flamboyant personality seems to remind others that he is not talking casually about the month he said, 11 consecutive wins.
He's serious!
