The day has finally come to defend the title.

In the 31st round of the English Premier League, Manchester United challenged Sheffield United away.

Sheffield United, once the superpower of English football. This "once" dates back to 110 years ago.

Sheffield United, winner of the 1896-1897 season in the English First Division; Winner of the FA Cup in 1898-1899. 1899-1900 First Division runner-up; Runners-up in the FA Cup in the 1900-1901 season. Winner of the FA Cup in 1901-1902.

The period when Sheffield United dominated English football was more than 10 years before the sinking of the Titanic.

Liu Yun came to the UK with a profound experience. That is, if you go to the Premier League, the Championship or even League One and League Two to find a "weak team", maybe this "weak team" is the hegemon of English football half a century, a century or even a century and a half ago.

Who gave England 150 years of professional football?

Two years ago in the FA Cup, Liu Yun met Sheffield United in the second round with Coventry. In the end, with his excellent performance, Coventry City beat Sheffield United 2:1 and advanced to the third round of the FA Cup.

At that time, Coventry City was a League Two team, and Sheffield United were the top team in League One. Losing to Coventry in the FA Cup didn't stop Sheffield United from moving forward.

Sheffield United won the League One title that year. Promotion from League One to the Championship. In last year's Championship, they finished sixth. The promotion rules in the Championship are strange. It wasn't the top three who made the cut. The first and second teams will be promoted directly to the Premier League, while the third to sixth teams will play in the promotion play-offs.

Sheffield United finished sixth in the league but topped the promotion play-offs. In the end, he achieved two years of double jump and returned to the Premier League.

Sheffield United have had a mediocre run in the Premier League this season. After 30 rounds, they are in fourth place and on the verge of relegation.

Jose Mourinho is confident of beating Sheffield United to win the Premier League title. After all, Manchester United's strength is there. Today's Manchester United can easily sweep Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and other traditional giants. A mere relegation team is not enough for the Red Devils to plug their teeth.

Sheffield United's home stadium is Bramall Lane in Sheffield and has a capacity of 32,000 people. Due to Sheffield United's lackluster Premier League performance this season, attendance at England's oldest stadium has not been high. In order to witness the team's victory, Manchester United fans tried all kinds of methods to get a large number of tickets to Bramall Lane.

Liu Yun had planned to take his family to Bramall Lane Stadium to cheer on the team. Jose Mourinho approached him and asked him to travel with the squad as a substitute.

Liu Yun scored 32 goals in the first 19 rounds of the league and is the team's hero and spiritual leader. What can we do without him in the stadium on championship day? Although Liu Yun is not yet available to play, Mourinho would rather give up a substitute spot and bring the old lieutenant to Bramall Lane Stadium to celebrate the winning moment.

Liu Xiaoyan and Isabella's tickets have not yet been settled. Liu Yun approached the Manchester United club's ticket officer. The ticket officer reluctantly told Liu Yun, the team's major shareholder: There are no tickets for the away stadium on Manchester United's side. However, it can be purchased from the market at a high price.

Liu Yun spent a full £1,600 online to get two tickets.

On league days, the entire Bramoo Lane stadium was packed. Of the 32,000 seats, two-thirds of Manchester United fans wear red jerseys! There are 20,000 of them.

Red Devils fans marched to the army and almost took over Bramall Lane Stadium.

The song of "Glory Glory ManUnited" wafted over the court.

Manchester United dressing room.

Coach Jose Mourinho loudly encouraged the players: "After a season of hard work, today we are finally going to reap our sweetest reward - the league championship!" Go to the field, kids! Go and win our championship! When we are the defending champions, we can proudly declare that this is the era for Manchester United! This is the Premier League for Manchester United! GO! GO! GO!”

Manchester United's superstars, led by captain Ibrahimovic on the pitch, walked out of the dressing room and into the tunnel of the players.

Players from both sides entered, and Liu Yun sat on the bench.

Dunphy, the big-mouthed commentator, was surprised when he got Manchester United's starting and substitute lists: "The old lieutenant is actually on the substitute list? Is he going to make a comeback in this game? ”

Fat Bob said: "There shouldn't be a comeback. Last time, he said at the SKY TV studio in London that he would make a comeback in early May. That's just over a month away! I think it was a deliberate arrangement by manager Jose Mourinho. So that the old lieutenant can celebrate the championship moment with his teammates! Manchester United's championship moment, how can it be done without the old lieutenant?! ”

With a whistle from the referee, the game began.

It was a no-brainer game. Manchester United almost played a half-time offensive drill on the pitch.

Penetration in the middle, in-cut in the wing, under-cross 。。。。。 Manchester United's attack blossomed in more points.

In the fifteenth minute, at five o'clock, Mr. Qu Bai took the lead for Manchester United. He broke through the flank and fired a volley. Manchester United 1:0 Sheffield United.

Sheffield United were barely able to fight back in the face of Manchester United's strong attacking pressure. They were confined to their own half.

In the 32nd minute, Pogba hit a tricky angle hanging shot at the edge of the penalty area, 2:0, Manchester United 2 goals ahead.

In stoppage time in the first half, Qu Bai scored twice! His close-range shot from the corner of the six-yard box found the back of the net for Sheffield United. 3：0！

After Qu Bo scored, he stretched out his arms and glided in a plane to celebrate the goal.

Liu Yun on the bench knew that this celebration should represent the goal dedicated to Liu Xiaoyan. Liu Xiaoyan just flew a biplane into the sky a few days ago.

After Qu Bai's goal, the big-mouthed Dunphy exclaimed: "The son-in-law of the old lieutenant, the nineteen-year-old Mr. Qu at five o'clock, has scored 32 goals this season!" Tied the old lieutenant in the shooter list! Oh my God! Manchester United, an old demon and a little demon, do you want to give birth to two demon golden boots in two seasons?! ”

Fat Bob said: "The old lieutenant missed twelve rounds of the league. It's normal to be overtaken by a superlative performer on the scorer charts. The top three scorers are the old lieutenant with 32 goals, Qu with 32 goals, and Lewandowski with 30 goals. All three have scored a full 92 goals this season. Manchester United's attacking power is evident from this! Oh my God, this is Qu's first season in the Premier League! There has never been a precedent for a rookie to win the Golden Boot in his debut season in the top five leagues! ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy said: "Regardless of whether Qu can win the Premier League Golden Boot this season, an honor of the best newcomer in the league is still indispensable!" ”

Fat Bob joked lightly: "If Qu Bo finally wins the Premier League Golden Boot this season... They will also set an interesting record. Father-in-law and son-in-law won the Golden Boot in two seasons! ”
