297 Wait for the day
The truce is close to two weeks, with the Premier League kicking off at the end of March over the weekend.
The arrival of the 31st round of the league means the beginning of the closing stage.
With eight rounds remaining, Manchester United are 10 points ahead of Manchester City, and they only need to win five more league games to claim the Premier League title early!
The Champions League 14 final will be played in the middle of next week, and Manchester United's first leg at home is good news, and Ferguson still sent an elite force to face the black cat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
In any case, the league is still a top priority, and there is no room for error.
However, Manchester United's overall form on the road is rather poor, as if it has been affected by the FIFA virus.
There is only one exception!
Tang Hong!
Sunderland, who are on the edge of the relegation zone, are inseparable from Manchester United at home, with Rooney and Robin van Persie making frequent mistakes in possession when Manchester United attack, and Shinji Kagawa is even more dizzy and completely out of shape.
Tang Hong had a couple of brilliant individual breakthroughs to threaten but failed to find the back of the net.
At half-time, the two teams exchanged scores, with Ferguson using two substitutions directly, Shinji Kagawa and Robin van Persie coming off and Cleverley and Welbeck coming on.
Rather than let them continue to struggle on the pitch, let them recharge their batteries for the upcoming Champions League.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and before kick-off, Tang Hong said to Welbeck: "Run aggressively, wait for opportunities in the box, I will make the ball for you." ”
Welbeck was a little surprised, but quickly nodded in agreement.
Don't look at Tang Hong as younger than him, but when it comes to their status in the team, the two are now worlds apart.
And he was very sure that if he was not obedient, he would definitely be directly angry by Tang Hong.
Tang Hong can't help it, when Van Persie is off the field, his own goal is too conspicuous, and he will inevitably be limited by the opponent's focus, rather than throwing himself into the net, it is better to find another way.
Welbeck was very positive at the beginning of the second half, but Rooney obviously lacked trust in Welbeck, too much to split the ball to find the assist Valencia, and passed the ball to Tang Hong, but rarely had direct contact with Welbeck.
Perhaps Welbeck also wondered how he had ended up in such a field.
But fortunately, Tang Hong didn't scold him, and constantly fed him cannonballs from the side, went straight over the top, crossed, and gave a basket of balls at his feet.
Welbeck had chances to get rid of his own shots and some were denied by his opponents, but he got more and more aggressive.
United's defence has been doing well, and in the second half of the season, the quality of the defence has improved unexpectedly, and the combination of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic has given a shadow of what was once impregnable.
When Welbeck repeatedly threatened in front of Sunderland, Sunderland's defence rightfully strengthened him.
In the 69th minute, Sunderland's fast-hitting wave failed to hit the ground and Phil Jones' interception gave United the chance to launch a quick attack.
After Tang Hong received the left side of the midfield, he first pulled the ball to accelerate and start to wipe Gardner, who came over to defend and press him, and then quickly pushed the ball forward along the side, and Ndiaye, who came to the side to assist in the defense, and fullback Danny Rose obviously did not cooperate well, Ndiaye directly put the shovel to block the front line of Tang Hong's ball, and Tang Hong took the lead and CHOP knocked the ball to change direction and staggered with the opponent.
Danny Rose could only switch from the side to the middle to assist in defense, and the top grab was very ferocious, and when he hit Tang Hong, he was directly smashed by the opponent and broke through!
Tang Hong, who has already gotten rid of the breakthrough three, continued to hit the ball to the front of the penalty area, Welbeck's running position can still form a certain diversion effect, and when the former Manchester United defender O'Shea blocked Tang Hong, Tang Hong suddenly changed the direction of the ball from the opponent's front and then smashed the ball into the penalty area to form a single knife!
Sunderland goalkeeper Mignolet decisively abandoned the goal, and Tang Hong calmly rubbed the ball into the far corner of the goal and didn't give him a chance to save at all!
Tang Hong, who overturned Sunderland's backfield defense, shocked the audience!
After scoring the goal, he rushed to the sidelines to strip and celebrate!
The scene of raising his right fist and roaring while running has made countless Red Devils fans crazy!
It seems that they can feel Tang Hong's dedication to the championship!
The 31st goal of the league has arrived!
Tang Hong equaled the goal record of Ronaldo, Manchester United's top scorer in a single season in the Premier League era!
Just one goal shy of the team's all-time top-flight tally of 32 league goals in a single season, which was set by Denis Viole 53 years ago.
Ferguson was freed from his irritable depression on the sidelines, and he rarely trotted forward with both fists raised into the field, looking like an old child.
The generals of the Sunderland defense line looked at each other and felt helpless, and Tang Hong walked thousands of miles in one go and broke the goal alone, which became the background, and he was naturally unhappy, but what could he do?
After receiving a yellow card for stripping to celebrate, Tang Hong put on his shirt as he walked back to half-time and raised his fist and waved his fist at the Red Devils fans in the visiting fans' stands.
Manchester United lead Sunderland 1-0 away.
Ferguson then used up the last substitution to replace Tang Hong, and he needed to save the rest of his energy and release it at home to Paris Saint-Germain four days later!
Manchester United, who strengthened their defence, did not give Sunderland a chance to equalize, and in the end Manchester United won all three points away from home!
Tang Hong stepped up to score three points for Manchester United when the team's overall performance was sluggish, which made him headline Fleet Street again after the game, after all, his own goal was also very good, and he is expected to be the best goal of the season in the Premier League!
In the same round, Manchester City swept Newcastle United 4-0 at home, and the gap between the two teams is still 10 points.
When Manchester United were about to take on Paris Saint-Germain at home, it was inevitable that Fleet Street would be hot again about the game.
Because the only remaining Premier League team in the quarter-finals of the Champions League is Manchester United!
Chelsea and Manchester City returned home in the group stage, Arsenal went home in the round of 16, and Manchester United were the only remaining Premier League team in the Champions League quarter-finals.
And there's another theme that has mixed feelings for United's middle and older generations.
Or "go home"!
Paris Saint-Germain have signed David Beckham, who is on loan from Major League Soccer side on the verge of retirement, and Beckham has been away from Old Trafford for 10 years before coming off the bench in 2010 in a Champions League knockout game on loan at AC Milan.
His return to Old Trafford after three years is still in the spotlight, but not as sensational as Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford.
In order to prepare for the Champions League knockout round, Tang Hong has an almost rigid arrangement for his life, he must sleep more than ten hours a day, check his physical state in the morning and evening, and make himself stay on the spot, without the slightest slack.
At the pre-match press conference, Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti was asked by reporters what he thought of Tang Hong when he talked about Manchester United.
Carlo Ancelotti replied: "I followed him when he was in Braga, I made an offer to him when I came to Paris to coach, the whole world knows that, but he chose to stay in Braga and he grew up very well and then at Manchester United was amazing, I coached Chelsea and I know how competitive the Premier League can be, and if a striker can score more than 30 goals in a single season, it means that he is already a top striker!
Paris Saint-Germain is not only facing problems with Tang Hong, but also Rooney and Van Persie, they are all top players!
I don't think there's any team in European football this season that has more attacking firepower than Manchester United.
I thought Real Madrid would be able to compete with Manchester United, and as a result, United won, and Barcelona could be better than Manchester United if Messi had a better attacker next to him.
But for now, United's scoring prowess is going to be a headache for all teams, and we don't want to focus on the part when defending, but the reality is that a player like Tang Hong, if you don't focus on him, he will make you despair in the game.
The game against Manchester United will not be easy, but it is a reflection of the brutality of Champions League competition. ”
Journalists on Fleet Street will cause some trouble for PSG.
For example, a reporter asked Carlo Ancelotti: "Pep Guardiola confirmed that he will go to coach Bayern Munich, would you consider returning to Chelsea or going to Real Madrid?" ”
The European giants are actually a very small circle.
There are only a few clubs that come and go.
If a top coach wants to coach, he needs a chance.
As it just so happens that Chelsea have only given Benitez a temporary contract after sacking Roberto Di Matteo, Real Madrid have now been rumored to have a manager change at the end of the season.
Although Ancelotti has a good life at Paris Saint-Germain and has won the trust of the top, Ligue 1 is not the focus of European football after all, how can it be compared to the Premier League and La Liga?
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the outside world to speculate that Carlo Ancelotti will go to Real Madrid, and there is also news on Fleet Street that Mourinho will return to Chelsea, so the line for a change of manager is very clear.
Jose Mourinho left Real Madrid for Stamford Bridge and Carlo Ancelotti left Paris Saint-Germain for the Bernabeu.
As for Paris Saint-Germain?
They just have money, and they are not yet the elite of European football.
Let's take a few more Ligue 1 titles.
Naturally, the Fleet Street reporter's question was intended to shake the morale of the military.
The old charlatan Ancelotti coped with it, saying that he is currently the coach of Paris Saint-Germain and has no plans for the future.
As for whether this is really the case, outsiders do not know.
Fleet Street is just a fire, and whether it can burn is not their concern.
Manchester United's side is business as usual, Ferguson repeatedly stressed before the game that Paris Saint-Germain cannot be underestimated, and at the same time did not forget to crack down on the rich tycoons, saying that they have the money to buy top players, but it will take time to make a difference.
Manchester United have money, which is the result of the Eduardo family's painstaking management of nearly two generations for nearly half a century, while local clubs like Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, can be said to have become rich overnight.
Ferguson, of course, wants to belittle them as much as he can.
Who made their success so easy!
