Heading into March, United will travel away from home for the second game in a row, and if you count the game against Wigan Athletic, it's three in a row.

In addition to the already beaten Wigan Athletic, the next two opponents are not so easy to match, namely the Blues Chelsea, and old rivals Liverpool, the former is currently second in the table, and the latter is third.

In other words, in the early hours of March, Manchester United will be battling the second and third teams in the league in a row. While even if United lose both of these games without a good performance, they will be able to maintain their current lead in the leading position, but the points advantage will be further reduced, which will add a lot of uncertainty to the race for the league title.

Especially since Manchester United have not lost a game this season, it is natural that Manchester United want to extend their unbeaten streak and, if possible, even want to replicate the myth of Arsenal's unbeaten title in the 03-04 season.

In addition to the meetings with Chelsea and Liverpool, the Reds will also face fourth-placed Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-finals. It's also a hard bone to gnaw on. The only difference is that the FA Cup semi-finals will be played at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium.

Rao is so, think about it carefully, such a schedule is really terrifying, the next three games are all strong in the league, and if you are not careful, you may be cut down by the opponent.

And that's not all, after these three games, United immediately have to face the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, which is also a crucial battle, although they won the first leg 2-1 away, the advantage is there, but it is not so big that it is boundless, if they want to ensure progress, then they also need to give it their all.

It's fair to say that March is the time when Manchester United will be tested the most, and if they can get through it, then the road to the league and domestic cup titles will be in the way, and if they can't, then the dream of a double will be shattered.

……

For Manchester United, March is a huge challenge, and for Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams ranked behind it, it can be regarded as an "opportunity" - after all, Manchester United is too strong this season, the points lead is too big, they want to reverse the tables and win the championship, the possibility is already very small, but no matter how small, there is still there, if this time can make Manchester United lose repeatedly, then it is an absolute opportunity to chase points.

Therefore, before the start of the March schedule, some media have described the battle between Manchester United and Chelsea (Liverpool) as a "six-point battle".

This shows the importance of these games.

Of course, for Manchester United, it is not a "six-point battle", but a "twelve-point battle"!

If the worst-case outcome is a two-game defeat, the opponent will suddenly close the six-point gap.

And the best case is to win both games, then when the six points are collected, the opponent chasing behind him will drop the chain again, then this season's league championship will be completely no longer suspenseful.

Several teams are fighting hard for the upcoming "decisive battle", but how can things go as planned?

On 2 March, Chelsea and Manchester United took the lead in the blue-red clash between them.

At Stamford Bridge, both teams were looking for a win, and the game was in a blistering pace from the start, with both teams playing attacking football on the pitch.

But until the whistle blew at the end of the game, the result was a big disappointment for the fans and reporters watching the game, the two teams played very lively, but the final score was 0:0, the two teams exchanged blanks, failed to score a goal, and could only end in a draw.

For Manchester United, the 0-0 result was perfectly acceptable, and while they failed to secure the three points, at least it did not allow Chelsea to close the gap on the points.

Chelsea is a little depressed, although the same did not lose, on the contrary, it got a point, but this point is not to take the overall situation, and even, their league ranking has dropped one place - Liverpool, which was originally ranked third in the league, defeated Southampton 3-0 at home in this round, and Liverpool, which is only one point away from Chelsea, immediately formed a comeback, ranking second in the league with a two-point advantage.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, that's what it says.

Manchester United and Chelsea drew 90 minutes with one point each, while Liverpool took all three points, moving up one place in the league table and closing the gap on the leaders – a far cry from the top of the table, but at least an improvement that would be enough to cheer up the Reds.

If they can take all three points in the next leg of the direct meeting with Manchester United, then Liverpool will chase five points in a row after these two rounds, and with eleven rounds left in the league, the Reds will also retain their hopes of continuing to compete for the title.

After this round of league games, the smoke of the red and blue battle has not yet dissipated, Liverpool, who won this round of big wins, jumped out to be the protagonist, the Reds coach Hodgson made a pre-game declaration to Manchester United in high spirits: "I am proud of my team and my boys, in this game we played with passion and the final result was also good, we got three points, which allows us to continue to maintain a certain pressure on the leaders in the table." Of course, this win also gives us more confidence in the next games, I know what the next round means and my players know it, so we're going to give it our all, and when the dust settles, we still have a chance to fight for more. ”

Hodgson's intention is very simple, that is, to go all out to beat Manchester United in the next round, not only because of the "deep feud" between the two teams, but more importantly, if he can chase five points in two consecutive rounds, then there is really hope of chasing the league crown again.

Manchester United coach Ferguson quickly responded to Hodgson's "bold words", only one point in this round, allowing Liverpool to take advantage of the loophole, Ferguson was already in a bad mood, and as a result, Hodgson got cheap and sold well, and he ate his own posture in the next game, which made Ferguson even more annoyed.

"Some people are used to beating their opponents with their mouths – if the game of football is about whoever has the best mouth and who gets the three points, then I think Mr. Hodgson will be the successful champion coach of all England! But sadly, no! ”

"So...... We'll see, in the next round at Anfield, I want to see how Mr. Hodgson gets his words done! ”

Ferguson's sarcastic and contemptuous remarks were almost pointing at Hodgson's nose and saying, don't brag, you want to win, you want three points, that's a dream! Lao Tzu didn't agree!

After these remarks, the two head coaches competed with each other and shouted against each other, which made the atmosphere between the two teams tense again, and a fierce war of words naturally broke out between the players and the players, between the fans and the fans.

But no matter who scolds fiercely and fiercely, football still depends on the final result of the game.

Five days later, Manchester United visited Anfield.

The two teams are a real "feud", and whenever they meet, it is bound to be a fierce collision between Mars and the Earth.

This time is no exception.

In the first leg of the league this season, Manchester United fans entertained Liverpool at Old Trafford with a "grand and warm" reception, and now on Liverpool's turf, the boos and scolding at Anfield Stadium have not stopped for a moment.

The competition is played intermittently in a noisy and noisy environment.

The reason why it is said to be intermittent is because the two teams are particularly fierce on the field, and even many times, the defensive actions are extremely fierce, and from time to time there are scenes of people turning on their backs, and the referee has to interrupt the game from time to time, or dissuade, or warn with cards.

This is the norm of the "Double Red Society".

Whether it is for the players of Manchester United or Liverpool, the championship can be wanted, but the sworn enemy must be beaten down - it is impossible for enemies to meet each other without blushing.

Especially this game is also related to the championship pattern of the league, and the two sides broke out before the game, and the "grievances" off the field naturally continued to the game, both sides want to beat the opponent to death with a stick, even if they can't die, they have to "disgust" each other.

Van Bizhuang, who started the game, performed extremely well, and he still created a lot of shooting opportunities under the interference of his opponents, and in the 34th minute of the first half, Van Bizhuang personally scored a free-kick created by him, and Manchester United took the lead.

Not to be outdone, Liverpool soon made it 1-1 through a strong attack, with captain Steven Gerrard firing from the edge of the penalty area and a heavy shot against Edwin van der Sar.

The first half ended with a score of 1:1, and in the second half, the battle between the two sides did not stop, but became more and more intense.

In the 63rd minute, Gerrard swept the ball into the box from the side, and in the scuffle, Uruguayan striker Suarez kicked the ball into the goal, and Liverpool took the lead.

However, five minutes later, Suarez was shown a yellow card by the referee, and in a corner kick scramble, Suarez suddenly bit the shoulder of Manchester United central defender Ferdinand, which was so bad that the referee did not hesitate to send Suarez off the field.

The superior United launched a ferocious comeback in the ensuing period, and in the 79th minute, Van Bizhuang scored a header from a corner to bring the score back to the same level again.
