With nine rounds of the league remaining, it is not a moment to be missed for Manchester United.

They have several strong opponents in the last nine league games.

In the 31st round, they played Liverpool at home, and the double red battle; In the 33rd round, they played at home against Chelsea, a match that could be directly related to the championship; In the 35th round, they played Manchester City away, and the Manchester derby will definitely not be so easy; In round 36, they played Tottenham at home, and this is not an easy opponent to win. Then in the 37th round away to Sunderland, the Black Cats are always strong when they are strong.

If you want to achieve four consecutive league titles, you have to do your best in every game.

Ferguson convened a meeting of the players and unified their thinking: to play this game, the league must be ensured first; Of course, you can't give up the Champions League, that's a pity, but it must be league-oriented. The FA Cup is dispensable, and the next games are all about substitutes and rotation players.

In the 30th round of the league, Manchester United swept Fulham 5-0 at home, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick for the first time in the Premier League, and Licardo contributed three assists and scored a direct free kick himself.

So far, although Ricardo has been absent for two months, he is still the top scorer with 22 appearances and 26 goals, and 13 assists, which is also temporarily the first in the assist list, and he deserves to be the first person in the Premier League.

Ronaldo was quiet for a long time after his outburst at the start of the season and was still an efficient goalscorer until his recent hat-trick, which he played in 17 league games and scored 10 goals.

Owen and Wayne Rooney have also performed well, veterans are also playing their remaining heat, and Ryan Giggs and Neville can still contribute to the team and jointly support Manchester United to this point.

On the afternoon of March 21, the Premier League ushered in a double red meeting. Manchester United against Liverpool.

Old Trafford was once again packed-out, chanting "Glory to Manchester United", while the travelling fans were not to be outdone and chanted "You never alk alone".

Ferguson followed the 4231, goalkeeper Van der Sar, defenders Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra, midfielders Fletcher and Carrick, forward Rooney, left winger Licardo, right winger Nani, and the forward is Ronaldo, who has just scored a hat-trick.

Benitez also put on a 4231 formation, goalkeeper Reina, defender Glenn. Johnson, Carragher, Ager, Insua; Midfielders Mascherano and Lucas. Reva, with Kuyt, Gerard and Maxi in front. Rodriguez, lone striker Torres.

Just looking at the strength on paper, Liverpool are qualified to compete with Manchester United, and when the two teams met in the first leg, Liverpool also taught Manchester United a lesson.

The last three meetings between the two teams have all been won by Liverpool, and although Manchester United won the title last season, Liverpool beat Manchester United twice, which was the biggest stain on the Red Devils last season.

And this encounter, Manchester United must win, otherwise it will be very unfavorable in the next fixtures.

But it was Liverpool who made the first gain. Just four minutes into the game, before United were in the groove, Torres made a good steal from the feet of Fletcher in midfield and handed the ball to Gerrard, who quickly shifted the ball and stuffed it into Kuyt, who was cutting in at high speed on the right.

Kuyt dribbled the ball to the baseline and calmly crossed, and Torres shook off the marked defender and scored his 18th goal of the season with an easy header.

Falling behind, United began to tighten their grip in midfield. Ricardo has often dropped back to assist the midfielder in possession, while Patrice Evra on the left has often provided very close assists to meet Ricardo, a common tactic for United this season.

When Ricardo takes the ball inside in the left winger position, he can choose to shoot, he can pass to the centre, he can move wide to the right and pass to Nani, he can cross to the central midfielder Wayne Rooney or Carrick, or he can suddenly plug in Patrice Evra on the left, Ferguson's tactical system always guarantees that he has more than five points.

This season, everyone knows that Manchester United's tactics are seriously left-leaning, and as long as they prevent Licardo Evra's line, they can contain most of Manchester United's attack.

But curb Ricardo? Easier said than done. Although Benitez made Licardo's national team teammate Lucas. Rewa kept him on close guard, but it didn't have much effect.

In the 11th minute, United attacked again from the left, and Patrice Evra broke through midfield with the ball before handing it to Ricardo.

Ricardo took the ball and cut inside, Patrice Evra continued to plug in, and when he was close to the baseline, he received a through ball from Ricardo.

Patrice Evra stopped the ball and took a look at Ronaldo and Rooney in the box, so he passed the ball back to Ricardo.

Ricardo picked up the ball in the corner of the box, slotted it sideways, and then handed the ball to Wayne Rooney, who ran out of the box to pick it up.

Wayne Rooney made the wall and pushed the ball back and Ricardo had already started to shake off Lucas. Reva, with a kick to meet the ball, the ball drew a rainbow-like arc, went around Reina's arm, and flew into the goal.

In the upcoming games, United have the upper hand, but Liverpool also have some counter-attacking opportunities.

In the 22nd minute, Nani sent in a cross after dribbling past Insua, and Ricardo's header at the back post flew off the line.

In the 29th minute, Fletcher sent a long pass over the top, Licardo picked the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping the ball, and Ronaldo volleyed directly without stopping the ball, slightly high.

In the 35th minute, Gerrard's long-range shot left Van der Sar scrambling.

In the 39th minute, Patrice Evra received a ball from Ricardo and cut in at high speed to send a cross, Ronaldo swung a header in the middle, and the ball flew out of the far post.

In stoppage time, United had a chance to get ahead, but Ricardo's free-kick went around the wall and fell fast enough to bounce off the crossbar.

In the first half, the Reds had 61 per cent possession and had a clear advantage, and their pass completion rate was 10 per cent higher than their opponents.

Despite Liverpool's hard work, the difference in quality and Manchester United's home advantage set the tone for this game.

They will then have to do everything they can to keep the draw and take the lead again, unless United make a mistake.

But United made no mistake.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Rooney distributed the ball to the right in a quick counterattack, Fletcher crossed after the side, and the football came to the back post, and Licardo beat Glenn. Johnson, who took the lead with a header, broke Reina's ten fingers again.

Liverpool started attacking aggressively, which in turn gave United the chance to counter-attack.

In the 76th minute, Licardo sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area near the bottom line after connecting two people, Nani sent a low cross to Ronaldo, and Ronaldo swept the middle to extend the score to 3:1 for Manchester United.

In this double red meeting, Manchester United had the last laugh.

Crucially, Chelsea were held to a draw away from Blackburn Rovers and the gap between them and Manchester United was once again stretched to seven points.

With only seven rounds left in the league, the league title seems to be about to lose suspense.
