669, your Lin Huang, infinitely rampant
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is over.
The match between the two La Liga teams against the two Serie A teams caught the eye of most fans.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have each proved their strength.
La Liga fans are looking forward to the Champions League final between the two teams, which will be a great time for La Liga.
Against this backdrop, Bayern's victory against Manchester United is less remarkable.
Both teams won only narrowly in the first round.
But.
Also won away from home, Bayern Munich gained a clear advantage over Manchester United.
Their 2-1 win away at Sevilla set the stage for the next leg.
Manchester United only beat Manchester City 1-0, and the advantage was not very obvious.
There is no significant difference in quality between the two teams.
In the second leg, Manchester City still has a lot of possibilities for a comeback.
"Deportivo from afar, Barcelona from close, Manchester City come on!" Manchester City fans are cheering on their team.
They remain convinced that the teams they support can still qualify for the last four of the Champions League.
Some Barcelona fans came to Manchester City's fan zone to talk about their great achievement of knocking out Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last year and knocking Paris into the "European Reverse Sauce" in one fell swoop.
"You can too." They said happily to the Manchester City fans.
Manchester City fans believe it.
I'm looking forward to the next round.
β¦β¦
Between the two rounds of the Champions League knockout rounds, it is still the league.
As the 33rd round of the league approached, the Premier League media quickly focused on the domestic league again.
"Will Manchester United go on a winning streak?"
The media asked questions, celebrities spoke, and fans discussed.
Right now, the biggest focus in the Premier League is how long United's winning streak will last.
Manchester City have just surpassed the Premier League's longest winning streak this season, setting a superb record of 18 consecutive wins.
And no one expected that this amazing record, without a single season passing, immediately encountered the most powerful challenge.
The challenger is Manchester City's city rivals, Manchester United.
With a win over Swansea in the previous round, United extended their winning streak to 16.
It is only two games away from the record set by the Manchester City man!
Manchester United will travel to Southampton in this round. Can they continue to win? When will their winning streak end?
The media was discussing.
'I don't think Southampton should be able to stop Manchester United from winning, at least in this round. As for whether we can win the next round of games, and whether we can match or even surpass Manchester City's record, I think we still need to observe game by game, and I can't make a judgment at this time. β
In a Sky Sports show, special guest Jose Mourinho said.
At the request of the moderator, the coach briefly analysed the reasons for United's success.
"Manchester United's triumph last season, although there was some element of luck, but everyone also got to know their star players N'Golo Kante and Chu Ge. In the absence of favourite, Ferguson's coaching experience, combined with the excellent performances of these two star players, made Manchester United a thrilling comeback against Chelsea in the final round to win the league title. β
"This season, Chu Ge and N'Golo Kante have continued to play well, and the addition of Mbappe and Virgil van Dijk has made Manchester United stronger."
"At one point, many people questioned Mbappe's worth, but now everyone recognises that he is excellent. He provided United with a richer attacking routine up front and shared the pressure on Chu Ge. β
Van Dijk's move has also been controversial, with many believing that the defender is not worth the price, but Van Dijk is probably the most important signing for Manchester United this season, no less important than Mbappe, if not just more. The combination of Virgil van Dijk and Manolas has given United the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League this season, with the benefit that the Reds have been more consistent than last season. β
"Defending is the foundation of good results, and the abundance of attacking means is the magic weapon of Manchester United's successive victories. I think Ferguson is great. In the season of announcing his retirement, Ferguson left a rich legacy for Manchester United, which will be much easier for the next manager to take charge of the club. β
Jose Mourinho threw out the "legacy theory".
And when asked by the host about the rumours that he will be in charge of Manchester United next season, Mourinho smiled wisely and did not answer.
There has been a lot of speculation about who United's next manager will be.
So far, however, no one has answered.
Jose Mourinho thinks Manchester United will win against Southampton, but the Southampton manager doesn't think so.
"We're going to do our best."
"Manchester United need to play in the Champions League, the FA Cup and the league at the same time. I think they're still tired. In this game, we are playing at home. It's not like we didn't have a chance to draw with Manchester United or even win the game. β
The Southampton coach called on his fans to cheer on his team and encourage the team to win over a mighty Manchester United.
Manchester City fans are also cheering them on.
"Sixteen wins in a row should be the limit for Manchester United."
'In order to secure the next leg of the Champions League knockout round, I believe Manchester United will most likely hold back against Southampton. Southampton will seize the opportunity to thrash Manchester United and give them a heavy blow. β
Manchester City legend Robinho, a Brazilian player who is known as Pele's successor, said so.
β¦β¦
Race day is here.
In this round, Manchester City's match was played on the same day as Manchester United.
Manchester City is three o'clock in the afternoon.
Manchester United's game is at 5:30 p.m.
Manchester City won the game without a hitch.
In this game, Manchester United made a massive rotation. Compared to United's starting line-up for that game, all but goalkeeper Ederson, midfielder Fernandinho and defender Vincent Kompany were rotated.
Even so, Manchester City still suppressed their opponents throughout the whole process and won a bloodless victory.
Fernandinho and Vincent Kompany were also substituted around the 60th minute.
The media commented that the easy win of this game fully showed the depth of Manchester City's squad and showed Manchester City's strongest strengths.
After the game.
Pep Guardiola quickly turned his attention to rival matches.
As with Manchester City, Manchester United also rotated in the Southampton game.
However, Manchester United's rotation is much smaller.
Chu Ge, Kylian Mbappe, N'Golo Kante, Paul Pogba, Virgil van Dijk and David De Gea were all on the pitch.
"Does it look like Ferguson is ready to play with the main lineup on both fronts?" Pep Guardiola speculated.
He felt that if this continued, the physical strength of the Manchester United players might not be able to sustain it.
However, he is more worried about whether the Southamptons can withstand it.
None of the Manchester City defenders withstood United's attack and allowed Chu Ge to score, can Southampton really defend against Manchester United?
Really.
Pep Guardiola's fears soon became a reality.
The game lasted only seventeen minutes.
Chu Ge suddenly came from the right to the left, and the two players formed a joint force, passed continuously, and completed the breakthrough one after another, and suddenly broke the Southampton defense without Van Dijk.
In the end, the winged Lingard completed the assist, and Chu Ge volleyed the ball through the goal.
1οΌ0γ
Manchester United quickly took the lead.
After the goal, Chu Ge pointed at Lingard and laughed at him.
It was Lin Huang's first assist of the season.
The teammates congratulated Chu Ge on his goal and also congratulated Lingard.
"The zero emperor assist has broken zero, and the master's youth is gone."
Manchester United's jokers have ridiculed.
This season, Lin Huang contributed a lot of materials and unexpectedly became an Internet celebrity.
Fans affectionately called him, "Your Lin Huang, infinitely rampant." β
England's Emperor Star, Wembley's Little Prince, Cup Ruler, Manchester Fan Superior, Marcus Rashford's Good Friend, Chu Ge Believer, Pogba Dancing Partner, Front Mixer, Knowing the Ball Emperor's Watershed, 100,000 Weekly Salaryman, Life Continuation Maniac, The Arrival of the Dark Four Kings, Lingard.
This large list of titles, it is estimated that the tin man will be confused when he sees it, Jon Snow will feel inferior when he sees it, and Lingard will click on a report to collect it by the way.
β¦β¦
After Lingard's assist, Chu Ge quickly reciprocated.
Thirty-seventh minute of the game.
Chu Ge attracted six defenders in the opposite penalty area and suddenly passed the football to Lingard on the other side.
Facing the defense with only the goalkeeper left, Lin Huang pulled out his legs and shot angrily.
Boom!
The soccer ball hits the opposing goalkeeper between his legs.
Bounce out.
Pogba got second and slotted home with ease to pick up a goal.
"Haha!"
After the goal, Pogba hugged Lingard.
"Well done, Lingard!" Pogba thanked Lingard.
Lingard paused for a moment.
"I also think I'm a talent." Lin Huang said.
β¦β¦
60 min: Manchester United make a substitution.
Chu Ge and Mbappe were replaced one after another.
Then, on 73 minutes, Pogba was also substituted.
Guardiola looked straight and shook his head.
How he wishes these players could play 90 minutes, or even longer.
"Southampton brags so loudly that the game won't be good." Pep Guardiola is helpless.
He glanced at Ferguson on the screen and seemed to understand Ferguson's strategy.
He suspected that Ferguson was gambling.
Betting that the team can take the lead very early, betting that the team will soon be able to bring the main players down to rest, betting that Manchester United can continue to win like this.
It's a test of a player's ability and some luck.
However, Ferguson's gambling luck so far does not look good.
At Southampton, United didn't consume much.
They ended up winning the match with a score of 3:1.
Seventeen wins in a row!
It's just one game away from Manchester City's streak of records!
β¦β¦
"It's been a magical and crazy season."
The Daily Telegraph lamented.
They argue that
Manchester City's eighteen consecutive wins are magical enough.
However, no one expected that in the same season, Manchester United would also complete 17 consecutive wins!
Regardless of whether Manchester United can match or even surpass Manchester City, the seventeen-game winning streak has already equaled Inter Milan in Serie A, becoming the longest winning streak in the five major leagues after Bayern and Manchester City.
'In front of the Manchesters, the rest of the Premier League seems to be vulnerable.
"Maybe Liverpool fans should be proud of that."
"Because he's the only team that has beaten Manchester City and Manchester United this season." The Times complained.
As the Times said.
When they were swept by Manchester City by five goals at the beginning of the season, many people were laughing at Liverpool, and even made up jokes about Liverpool 5 and Na 4 and 5.
They even lost Philippe Coutinho in the winter transfer window.
However, none of this has stopped Liverpool's rise.
Under Klopp's deep tutelage, Liverpool have maintained their tradition of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and even become more consistent. Although the team's results are still not comparable to Manchester United and Manchester City, the team's progress is very obvious. The rise of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah and the iron triangle of Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have made this team an opponent that no one wants to face in the Premier League.
Liverpool next season, and the future of Liverpool, deserve more to be expected.
β¦β¦
The double wins of Manchester United and Manchester City have made the competition for the league title even more motivating, and the suspense of the title race will continue into the next round.
And the Champions League game is back in the fire.
All the fans, all the media, have put their attention back on the Champions League.
The second leg of the quarter-knockout round.
The winner of the two-legged match will become the semi-finals of this year's UEFA Champions League, continuing the fight for the Champions League, the crown jewel of European football.
And the loser has nothing left and is directly eliminated from the competition.
That's the beauty of the knockouts!
In the knockout round of the first leg, Manchester United's match was scheduled for the next day after Bayern waited for the team.
In this leg, their match against Manchester City, as well as Barcelona's match against Roma, took the lead.
Countless fans are watching the second leg of Manchester United's match against Manchester City.
Among them is even quite a few Barcelona fans.
These Barcelona fans believe that their match against Roma is no longer interesting, it is better to watch this one, the suspense of the game is greater, and it is also possible to examine the opponents that Barcelona may face in the semi-finals.
Kill two birds with one stone,
Isn't it beautiful?
Perhaps because this Manchester derby was more suspenseful, Chu Ge's game did attract more attention.
At Old Trafford, Manchester United met Manchester City again.
Once again, both sides did their best.
"There is no way back for Manchester City, our only goal is to win!" Pep Guardiola has made a military order for his team.
'Everyone is eager to go further in the Champions League and Manchester United will give it their all.' Ferguson was equally unrelenting.
Face the music.
In the eyes of fans all over the world, the two teams quickly collided fiercely.
With the score behind in the first leg, Manchester City looked very aggressive.
They attacked aggressively from the first minute of the game.
With Pep Guardiola's Tika-Taka, the Manchester City players, as usual, used simple short passes and aggressive running to quickly gain the advantage of possession.
They seem to have the upper hand.
