Chapter 311: Juventus

Even the most die-hard Manchester United fans could not have imagined such an outcome. X

Manchester United played one man less for a long time, but the final score was 4-1 and won away from home. Of course, after Gerrard left the field, Liverpool's morale was directly drained, and in the final stage, Kaisa and Silva scored two goals in a row and stabbed twice.

Manchester United won 4-1 away. The team is back on winning path, and the points are finally in their ...... Poor 5 points.

It is rare for the team to get out of the relegation zone, safely ashore and rise to 14th place in the league, but they are still hovering in the bottom half of the table and the situation has not fully improved.

Even if Liverpool loses one game, they still have 9 points and their position has changed greatly, slipping from the top of the league table to 5th place, leaving the Champions League team.

Chelsea won 3-1 away at Manchester City in this round of the league to seize the top spot in the league.

Before this game, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City all maintained a winning record, with 9 points, while Liverpool occupied the first place with the most goals; Tottenham and Villa are unbeaten and are also at the forefront.

After this game, Liverpool and Manchester City lost at the same time, and the ranking slipped down. Chelsea and Arsenal are in the top two with 12 points, with Chelsea topping the table on goal difference.

Tottenham and Villa also emerged victorious, finishing third and fourth. The two teams are unbeaten since the start of the match, drawing one each, accumulating 10 points, also ahead of Liverpool.

After the game, Ferguson was still very low-key, "Liverpool played a good game, but lost to Kaisa. It was Kaisa's first league game of the season and he did well, scoring two goals, creating two goals and creating a red card. ”

In the past, countless media questioned Kaisa, but after today's game, Kaisa's strength was proven again, and all doubts disappeared.

Benitez was not so happy, he didn't like the team to lose, he didn't like the way Gerrard went down, "I don't know why, Gerrard's moves Manchester United players have done it, but at most they will only get a yellow card. And as long as our players do it, it's a red card. ”

"Probably, because it's the Premier League, right?" Benitez pointed.

Kaisa's statement was more direct, even full of arrogance, "Welcome to continue to provoke!" I'll fight back one by one. ”

The pre-match provocation of the Liverpool team now looks like it can only be humiliated.

However, Manchester United did not have time to celebrate the victory, and the next game came as scheduled, with the first round of the Champions League group stage at home to Juventus.

Ferguson has a special sentiment towards Juventus. When he was learning to dominate Europe, the team he chose was Juventus. In other words, his philosophy is very similar to Juventus's team building philosophy.

The first place in the league, in the case of keeping the league, will hit the European championship. In the 90s, Ferguson's side met Juventus and lost repeatedly. In the magical year of 1999, Manchester United finally crossed the mountain of Juventus and successfully won the Champions League for the second time.

After Juventus was promoted from Serie B, they bought a lot of players, but most of them could not fit into the team and were not strong. However, Serie A as a whole declined, and Juventus finally won the third place in the 2007-08 season.

Behind Inter Milan and Roma, ahead of Fiorentina and AC Milan.

But third place in the league is enough to make it back to the Champions League, and in the summer of 2008-09, he recruited central defender Melberg, midfielder Ekdahl, and striker Amaury? Carvalho three.

At the same time, with the return of loan talents such as Marchisio and Giovinco, and the aging Nedved, Juventus is expected to compete with Inter for the league title.

In the Champions League, they are more pragmatic and have set their goal for the quarter-finals this season, and they will be able to qualify from the group as they face two-year Champions League winners Manchester United.

Ferguson still maintained enough respect in the face of Juventus, after all, he was his former "teacher".

'It's great to see Juventus again in the Champions League, they are a resilient team and they have always been a role model for Manchester United. I don't think we can take it lightly, they are in good shape in Serie A, if we are not careful, we will definitely plant it. ”

"Of course, we would prefer Juventus to focus on the league!" Ferguson said with a smile.

Juventus, who were relegated due to the phonegate incident, are now promoted smoothly and are on the rise, gradually threatening Inter's dominance in the league.

The current head coach of Juventus is Ranieri, a well-known tinker who is very good at pinching the team's players' mental strength, but the technical and tactical level is average, and it is no problem to be a transitional coach, and it is impossible to expect him to create a dynasty.

After Abou bought Chelsea, he appointed Claudio Ranieri as head coach, but his results were not proportional to his investment, and he was later replaced by Jose Mourinho. Kaisa knows that Ranieri is estimated to have endured humiliation for a long time, and actually won the Premier League championship in the 2015-16 season, which can be written into a miracle championship process.

This time back to his hometown, Ranieri is still very low-key and accumulates character.

'Manchester United is a very strong team and we learn from them. They have won the Champions League for the second year in a row, which is a huge admiration for us, and this trip to Old Trafford is an opportunity for us to learn directly from Manchester United. ”

Juventus' long-time captain, Gianluigi Buffon, also said: "Manchester United are the strongest team, what we have to do at Old Trafford is to concede the fewest goals, they are too strong and we don't have many chances. ”

'It's a good opportunity for us to learn from Manchester United and we're definitely going to give it our all.'

Juventus put their posture very low!

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, it must be abnormal, how can there be a team that doesn't want to win? After a few years of running-in, the Manchester United players have matured quite well and have not eaten Ranieri's sugar-coated shells.

In Leicester's championship season, Ranieri has taken the power of sugar-coated cannonballs to the extreme, "We are just a solid step on the road to relegation!" ”

What's more, competing for the championship is said to be relegation, which is really powerful.

The time for the game is fast approaching, and Juventus have a lineup that is not here to learn, but to grab points.

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, the Italian international, is a guy who is so steady that it is crumbling. Kaisa comes from the afterlife, and he worries about Donnarumma.

On the back line are Melberg, Chiellini, Lerotalje and Molinaro; In midfield, young Marchioni partnered Paulsen, Thiago and Nedved. Up front, Piero and Iaquinta, the Bianconeri are equally threatening.

Ferguson looked at the opposing line-up and was not surprised, Juventus wanted to produce results in the Champions League and was sure to do their best in every game.

It is crucial to play the first game well, and Manchester United have a very strong line-up, with a 433 lineup.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar, with Brown, Nemanja Vidic, Ferdinand and Patrice Evra on the back line, is not surprising; In midfield is Carrick, who has returned from injury, and is partnered by Mascherano and Fletcher.

Up front, Kaisa partnered Wayne Rooney and Silva, who had returned from injury. Van Persie sat on the bench,
