Chapter 539: A Respectable Stubborn Donkey
Manchester United, who led by one goal at the Theatre of Dreams, did not give Everton any chance to fight back.
In the 39th minute, Qu Bai scored! United win a free-kick in front of Rashford from a corner. Lewandowski's header was saved by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, and Qu Bai followed up and fired into the net! 2:0οΌ
After Qu Bai scored, he lifted his long-sleeved game uniform, revealing the vest inside. The vest reads: "Goodluck Old Lientenant" (Good luck, old lieutenant!) οΌ
Qu Bai is praying for his idol with a goal!
"Old lieutenant! Old lieutenant! Old lieutenant! After Qu Bai's goal, the fans of the Dream Theater shouted not "Qu" or "Mr. Five O'Clock", but the old lieutenant!
Mu Shuai waved his fist excitedly. In the absence of the old lieutenant, nineteen-year-old Qu Bai has been able to hold up half of the sky in the Dream Theater. Mu Shuai remembered a Chinese slang that Liu Yun once told him: There are talented people in the country, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one wave is more than a wave.
After Qu Bai scored the second goal of the game, Liu Yun and the fans shouted: "Long live Mr. Five O'Clock!" β
Although it is a harsh winter, the atmosphere on this side of the villa is even hotter than the height of summer.
Liu Yun instructed the bodyguards Dardania and Aramis to drive to the city to buy a batch of wine.
Dardania and Aramis were very efficient. In the 30th minute of the second half of the game, two truckloads of beer and whiskey were transported to Liu Yun's house.
Liu Yun said to everyone: "You're welcome, I'll invite everyone to drink!" β
A crowd of fans passed bottles.
Wine, singing, candlelight... It has become one of the best memories of Liu Yun's career.
In the Theater of Dreams, in the 82nd minute of the game, Lewandowski seized an opportunity to defend and counterattack, and broke through with the ball to form a single knife. How could Lewandowski miss a single opportunity? He calmly pushes and shoots! 3:0οΌ
Manchester United's three strikers, Ibrahimovic, Qu Bo, and Lewandowski each scored one goal!
It's a pity that Ibrahimovic's physical strength was overdrawn again, and there were cramps, and Mu Shuai decisively replaced him.
In stoppage time, Pogba bombarded the goal with heavy artillery at the front of the penalty area, and the ball hung directly in the upper right corner of the goal, 4:0! Manchester United, lacking the old lieutenant, swept the visiting Everton 4:0!
At the end of 21 rounds, Manchester United won 20 and drew 1, accumulating 61 points and ranking first in the standings.
Manchester City, who are in second place, have 15 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 49 points, a full 12 points behind Manchester United.
There seems to be little suspense about the Premier League title this season. With Manchester United's current form, the points gap between Manchester United and its rivals Manchester City will only get wider. Manchester City have little chance of overtaking.
The difference in points is not exaggerated. The most exaggerated thing is the number of goals! Manchester United has scored 101 goals in 21 rounds! The average number of goals per game is close to 5! With 17 league games remaining, United are likely to break the previous record of 142 goals in a single season set last season.
Manchester City, who are in second place, have only 53 goals, just half of Manchester United's goals.
Compared to the league where the overall situation has been decided, Manchester United is now more interested in making a breakthrough in the Champions League.

In Mu Shuai's office, there is the team's team doctor Stark, and the most authoritative orthopedic surgeon in Manchester City Hospital, Ms. Natasha.
Mu Shuai frowned and looked at Natasha.
There was a brief silence in the office.
After a long time, Natasha finally spoke: "Coach Mourinho, the rehabilitation plan proposed by the Stark team doctor is close to an anti-science fantasy. The old lieutenant is 47 years old! He's not Iron Man! I collected more than 60 cases of lower leg fractures in the 45-55 age group. None of the cases were able to regain normal life after a severe fracture. Not to mention getting back on the pitch! β
Team Doctor Stark glared at Natasha, "Lady Natasha, are you religious?" β
Natasha was stunned: "Of course. β
Team Doctor Stark slapped the table: "Then do you believe in the miracles that God has given to the world?" Perhaps you are the most famous scholar of the London Medical School and the most authoritative orthopaedic surgeon in the Manchester City Hospital! You think you've studied countless cases... But I tell you, you don't know the old lieutenant! In the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, I watched the old lieutenant score a hat-trick with a severe muscle strain, leading Manchester United to a 6-5 Jedi counterattack against Barcelona! Don't look at the old lieutenant with the eyes of ordinary people! He's a miracle player! There will be miracles, there will be! β
Natasha looked angry: "Believing in God's miracles and respecting science are two different things!" Mr. Stark, don't confuse it! β
Mu Shuai coughed, interrupting the argument between the two doctors.
He knew in his heart that the team doctor Stark had mixed too many personal feelings in the treatment of Liu Yun. Natasha is different. She has no relationship with Liu Yun, she is explaining her views realistically.
Mu Shuai asked Natasha again: "What do you think... There's no chance of the old lieutenant returning to the game, is there? β
Natasha nodded: "Absolutely impossible. Unless the Atlantic Ocean floods the British Isles. β
Mu Shuai sighed: "Alas, okay. Stark, put your recovery plan aside for now. β
Seeing off Stark and Natasha, Mu Shuai handed over the team's daily training to assistant coach Bart, who drove to Liu Yun's house.
Liu Yun is at home, sitting in a wheelchair and using dumbbells to exercise upper body strength.
Mourinho forced a smile on his face: "Liu, how are you feeling in the past two days?" β
Liu Yun replied: "It's okay." Boss, why are you here? It's time for the team to practice, right? β
Jose Mourinho sat down on the sofa. Isabella went downstairs and made him a strong cup of coffee.
Mu Shuai took a sip and said to Liu Yun: "Liu, I came here this time because I have something to say to you." β
Liu Yun joked: "I think it should be the boss, are you afraid that I will be lazy at home?" Oh, although my legs can't move for the time being, I've been practicing my upper body strength. β
Mu Shuai waved his hand, and stopped talking: "Alas, Liu, how can you say it?" I'm a religious and I believe in miracles. But I think you have to face it. You're 47 years old, and with an injury like this, it's almost impossible for you to get back into the game. Don't toss around at home, recuperate with peace of mind, and after you recover from your injury, enjoy everything a 47-year-old should enjoy. If you don't want Manchester United, you can come to the club as an assistant coach. You yourself are the majority shareholder of the team, and you can be the owner with peace of mind. The box at the Theatre of Dreams will always be there for you, and your jersey will always be on display in the Team Hall of Fameγγγγγ β
Liu Yun smiled at Mu Shuai: "But I promised the fans." Will definitely be back on the turf at Old Trafford as a player. β
Mu Shuai shrugged: "Liu! I have just spoken to one of the most authoritative orthopaedic surgeons in Manchester. Your chances of getting back on the field are infinitely close to zero. β
Liu Yun looked directly into Mu Shuai's eyes: "Although I haven't been to school much, I know that infinitely close to 0 is not equal to 0!" If there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, I will come back 100% hard! β
Mu Shuai stood up, walked to Liu Yun's side, and patted him on the shoulder: "You are really a respectable stubborn donkey." β
