Chapter 175: More Than Thirty!
'The defeat against Blackburn Rovers proved to be just an accident and United were immediately back on the right track. The Guardian has praised United's excellent performance over the last month or so, with five wins and one draw following a 2-0 defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers in the 26th round of the league on 26 February.
The Guardian mentioned a noteworthy point, that is, this period of time was when Cristiano Ronaldo was out injured, and it was clear that Ferguson was using Yang Fan as the absolute core of the team, and Yang Fan repaid the manager's trust and support with goals.
"I'm afraid that even when Cristiano Ronaldo is on the field, Manchester United's table can't be better. Now that the United team has a brand of belonging to Yang Fan, his players have become accustomed to placing their trust in the Chinese team-mate...... When Cristiano Ronaldo returns to the team, who will be at the heart of United? ”
George Gordon made no secret of his praise for Yang Fan in his column. Now people know that this journalist is a staunch fan of Yang Fan, and he praises Yang Fan in his daily reports, and some of Yang Fan's fans also come to buy his newspaper, and they like to see these articles praising Yang Fan. Of course, some people expressed disdain for this, sarcastically saying that Gordon was Yang Fan's royal reporter, but Gordon didn't care about it at all, but looked very happy.
In the match with Liverpool, Manchester United was able to stage a comeback when they were three goals behind and the team lineup was not complete, and finally drew 4-4 with Liverpool, which made people feel unbeatable about Manchester United. Now, in England, people are talking about Manchester United's strength, talking about Manchester United's invincibility, and the topic of discussion is also who can beat Manchester United, who can stop Manchester United from winning the league title?
However, you must know that Manchester United is now 6 points ahead of second-place Chelsea in the league, and with the state and strength that Manchester United is now experiencing, I am afraid that by the penultimate round of the league, Manchester United will almost have the league trophy in hand, and there will be no waiting for Arsenal to stop it. What's more, Arsenal will really be able to stop Manchester United?! This is a big question mark, you must know that in the first half of the season, Arsenal was poured six goals by Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium at home! Yang Fan made the entire Premier League realize how terrifying and murderous he was in that game!
Therefore, after such an analysis, the 'fans' of other teams in the Premier League and the media have to come to a conclusion with some depression that it seems that no one can stop Manchester United from winning the league title. To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to ()

In such an environment of public opinion, a week later, when Manchester United were 'forced' to a 0-0 draw by Fulham in the thirtieth round of the Premier League, it was very sensational and surprising.
In this game, Manchester United besieged Fulham's goal almost all over the field, but Fulham's goalkeeper and other defensive players were like a god today, frequently defusing Manchester United's attack, and even the 'goal' post and crossbar were very competitive to help the home team, and Manchester United hit the crossbar and post twice in the second half.
If it weren't for the crossbar blocking and the god-like play of Fulham's 'goalkeeper', Yang Fan would have been very likely to score a hat-trick in this game, which shows how bad Manchester United's luck was today.
"Fulham is God's darling today...... the media also lamented after the game, it is God who helps Fulham, otherwise you can't explain the fact that the opponent 'shot' the 'goal' as many as 27 times, and was hit the 'goal' frame four times, and in such a situation, there is no goal conceded.
In addition to the 'goalkeeper', Fulham's centre-back Hangrande's 'fine' colour sheet is also the reason why Fulham have not conceded a goal, who would have thought that Fulham, who was on the verge of relegation last season, would now be ranked eighth in the Premier League? Norwegian central defender Hangrand is the backbone of Fulham's defense, he is close to two meters tall and has outstanding frontal defensive ability.
According to the media, Ferguson was dumbfounded by Hangrande's appearance, and Manchester United's godfather even moved the idea of bringing Hangrande to Old Trafford.
After this round of league games, the Premier League standings have changed dramatically.
Manchester United was 'forced' to draw by Fulham, which was a good opportunity for Chelsea, the chaser behind him, to close the points gap, however, Chelsea lost 0-1 away to Tottenham Hotspur in the London derby, and at the same time, Liverpool, who was magically 'forced' by Manchester United in the last round, vented all their grievances on Aston Villa, the opponent of this round of the game. Even Aston Villa, the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season, couldn't resist it, and Liverpool thrashed Aston Villa 5-0 at home. Aston Villa suffered a heavy defeat, and Arsenal managed to overtake Aston Villa at the top of the table after winning away at Newcastle in this round. Arsenal are finally back in fourth place, which is a remarkable achievement, you must know that Arsenal was once seven points behind Aston Villa at the most, and the name of 'Race for the Four' is by no means a 'wave'.
Chelsea lost unexpectedly, so Manchester United's points lead did not decrease after being 'forced' to draw by Fulham, and it was still six points ahead of the second place, but the second place was not Chelsea, but Liverpool again.
The Times lamented that God was also helping Manchester United, and finally Manchester United was 'forced' to draw by the opponent, which was a great opportunity for Chelsea to chase points, but the Blues could not eat the pie that fell from the world......
※※※※※※※
A week later, Manchester United hosted their opponents in the 31st round of the league, Aston Villa.
Aston Villa are definitely the darkest dark horse in the Premier League this season, just before the last round of games, Aston Villa was still fourth in the table, but after losing to Liverpool in the last round, the ranking was overtaken by Arsenal.
"Aston Villa have 50 points and Arsenal have 52 points, the difference between two points is not too big, and Aston Villa still have a good chance of competing for a Champions League qualification. "So, even though we were playing against Manchester United, even though it was at Old Trafford, Aston Villa had a reason to try to win the game. It's going to be a big game. ”
"You're right, but against Manchester United, it's not like Aston Villa can have a good result...... ' Lineker said, "Manchester United just played against Liverpool, they were able to make it four to four after falling behind by three goals, this team has amazing nerves and willpower, Aston Villa have really been the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season, but against Manchester United, they don't have much chance." Not to mention the fact that they suffered a five-goal defeat at the feet of Liverpool just a week ago...... It's hard to say what morale the team is at the moment. ”
Mortensen thinks United will be in trouble, Aston Villa are not to be underestimated, while Lineker thinks United will win this game more smoothly.
In fact, the process of this game is different from what these two gold medal commentators said, and it is appropriate to say that the words of the two are very appropriate.
After the start of the game, as Lineker said, Manchester United took the initiative on the field, frequently threatening Aston Villa's goal, and the visitors looked wolf.
After a beautiful breakthrough by Tevez, he entered the penalty area, 'shot' and 'goal' at a small angle, and the football hit the side netting, which made the net shake, many people thought that the football had gone in, and many Manchester United football 'fans' jumped up to celebrate the goal, and some commentators were also shouting 'goal', only to see that the goal did not score, but only hit the side netting.
Aston Villa's players were shocked into a cold sweat, they felt the pressure, they felt the murderous spirit. Manchester United gave them a knock-off with such an attack and a 'shot' and a 'goal'.
After today's game, the starting striker Carlos Tevez was quite active, and his breakthrough and speed gave Aston Villa a headache. Fifteen minutes into the game, United had four shots, three of which came from Carlos Tevez. The Argentine was the most active one on the field, but Yang Fan was relatively quiet after the start of the game.
Faced with Tevez's activism, Aston Villa had to step up their defences against the Argentine star. And then there was an attack from Manchester United, they scored, and it was Yang Fan, who had been silent before, who scored the goal!
"Manchester United's attack!Carlos Tevez is dribbling the ball, still dribbling!he crosses!!Carrick's header!ferry!yang'goooooa!!a
"One to zero! Manchester United are ahead of Aston Villa!"
This is a regular attack of Manchester United, Tevez still seems to be the main attack, he dribbles the ball along the side, just when everyone thought that Tevez would cut inside with the ball as usual to 'shoot' the 'goal', the Argentine suddenly crossed, Carrick nodded in front, which scared the Aston Villa defenders a big jump, they quickly pounced, and then noticed that Carrick was not a header to attack the 'goal', but a header ferry, followed by Yang Fan, who was unguarded, and directly volleyed the pad 'shot' and scored the football in!
"The 31st goal! The 31st goal! This is Yang Fan's 31st goal in the Premier League this season! He equals Cristiano Ronaldo's record for a single league goal for a Manchester United player set last season!"
"The Aston Villa people have been fooled, Tevez's previous table Xiàn 'confused' and 'confused' them, they thought that the Argentine was Manchester United's main attacker today and Yang Fan was not in good shape today, but they forgot about it, never relax their marking of Yang Fan, the Chinese 'shooter' is definitely the most threatening striker on the planet!
Of course, he also has to thank his teammate Tevez, the Argentine is so sharp on the wing, he has attracted most of the Aston Villa defenders - of course, Carrick's header is also beautiful, everyone thinks he is directly attacking the 'goal', so that Yang Fan, who responds at the back point, has space and opportunities...... Yang Fan will not 'waste' such a chance to score a 'shot' or 'goal'! This is his 31st league goal of the season! Congratulations to him! "In the stands of Old Trafford, the most hardcore Manchester United 'fans' unfurled a banner: More than thirty! Omnipotent Yang, you are the strongest!
