Chapter 243: Unstoppable
After the draw for the top 20 groups in the World Preliminaries, Shi Liansheng immediately returned to China. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the AFC's arrangement, six group games of each group of the Round of 20 will be played after the New Year, and the first game of the Chinese team will be away to Iraq on February 6, which coincides with China's Chinese New Year's Eve. If you want a New Year's gift from a national fan, a win over the Asian Cup will be the best gift.
With only two months to go until the first match of the Top 20, it seems like a lot of time, but it's actually very intense. Moreover, now that he is in the group of death, the slightest carelessness may lead to a catastrophe, at this juncture, Shi Liansheng does not want to make any mistakes, he needs to be foolproof.
After returning to China, Shi Liansheng immediately made a division of labor for his coaching team.
"Ye Hai, your task now is to collect and sort out the game footage of the three teams in the past 20 games. Then complete the technical and tactical analysis with Gao Jun and Gong Chu, and we need to use it in the next training camp! ”
"Donovan, make a strict physical training plan, we need to have enough physical strength before the big game!"
"Barton and I will complete a targeted tactical training program!"
At a time when domestic fans and media are still lamenting the bad luck of Chinese football, Shi Liansheng's coaching team has been preparing in an orderly manner according to the division of labor.
Yu Liang, who is far away in Manchester, is also always paying attention to the draw for the top 20 groups.
For him, being placed in Group A is not a bad result.
With 3 goals and 2 assists, Yu Liang won the best player in the Premier League in November, won this honor for two consecutive months, and in an official interview with the Premier League, Yu Liang expressed his views on the top 20 grouping: "Yes, Group A is indeed a group of death, Australia, Iraq, Qatar They are all very strong. But I think it's a good thing for us because we can test our quality in the top 20. And playing with them at a high intensity can also improve our ability on the field. If we can make it to the top 10 or the World Cup, it will be a very good test! ”
Yu Liang's words changed the views of some domestic fans.
Indeed, if you are facing teams like Australia, Iraq and Qatar and you are lamenting the bad luck of the Group of Death, then what is the World Cup? Which team is not better than these three teams in the World Cup?
Holding the best trophy for November, Yu Liang's smiling photo once again made headlines in England's sport.
The Premier League's best player for two months in a row has completely eliminated the remarks that the Golden Boy Award does not match.
Entering December, the major leagues are about to enter the winter break, and the Premier League has ushered in one of the most brutal stages of the season.
With 6 league games a month, an average of 5 days, such a dense schedule is not only a test of the players' physical fitness, but also a test of the players' willpower.
In the cold drizzle, at Old Trafford, Manchester United ushered in their first game of December, and after 90 minutes, they beat visiting Fulham 2-0 thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's brace to win their 12th consecutive Premier League game and continue to lead the table.
It's no news that Manchester United lead the table, having led the table since their win over Arsenal in November.
The big news is that United have won 12 consecutive Premier League games, just two short of Arsenal's record of 14 consecutive wins in the Premier League. They are just two games away from Manchester United's longest winning streak in history. Manchester United's longest winning streak in history was set between 1904 and 1905, and has a history of more than 100 years.
Now that we are about to break the 100-year-old team record, the players are very excited. Of course, there is nothing more exciting than breaking Arsenal's record for the longest winning streak in the Premier League set in 01/02 and 02/03. Because the league of a hundred years ago is not the same as the Premier League today, and there is no comparison. But it was different to overtake Arsenal because they were at the top of the Premier League at the time.
In an interview after the game, Ronaldo said: "There is nothing more exciting than breaking the record set by the opponent and we will work towards this goal! ”
Records are always broken!
When speaking to reporters, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger said the same thing.
Saying this sentence from the mouth of the challenger shows their confidence and domineering.
And saying this from the mouth of the record holder shows their indifference and tolerance.
However, no record holder wants their record to be broken, and Derby County are clearly unable to stop a Reds in hot form, with Arsenal only able to pin their hopes on Liverpool.
However, before the game between Manchester United and Derby County began, Arsenal were the first to make a mistake. The second round of supplementary matches was played at St James' Park, and the visiting Arsenal took the lead in the third minute thanks to a goal from Bam Adebayor. A fantastic start failed to help Arsenal reach the top, and in the 59th minute of the second half, Manchester United veteran Alan Smith interfered with Arsenal's defence in front of the penalty area, and an unguarded Taylor fired a low shot into the net to help his side equalise.
The score remained 1-1 until the end of the game, with Arsenal two points behind Manchester United at the top of the table after 15 rounds of play-off matches.
Arsenal made a mistake on the way to the title, and United couldn't ask for it.
Two days later, United hosted Derby County at Old Trafford, with Rodves Giggs Jr. netting a comfortable 4-1 victory. Yu Liang, who came off the bench, gave a wonderful assist, and assisted Tevez to score twice.
The 4-1 win over Derby County extended United's winning streak to 13. Whether they can equal Arsenal's longest winning streak will depend on next weekend's game against Liverpool. In such a national derby, which has countless highlights in itself, a new mission has been given to both sides, and the game has become the center of attention.
After the Derby County fixture, the Reds face the final round of the Champions League group stage in midweek and Liverpool at the weekend.
In order to give the main players a good rest, Ferguson travelled to Rome with a group of substitutes in the Champions League in midweek, and ended up with a draw. Manchester United, who qualified from the group two rounds ahead of schedule, could cope with the Champions League with a substitute line-up, but Liverpool could not. In the final round of the do-or-die battle, Benitez was the main force, and finally defeated Marseille 4-0 away to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League as the second in the group.
……
"I didn't expect Benitez, who has always been known for his rotation, to not make any rotations in this game! Isn't he looking for death? ”
Andy Gray looked at Liverpool's starting line-up and genuinely admired Benitez's courage.
First of all, the Premier League is on the devil's schedule, and secondly, they have gone through a tough game back and forth in France, and the players are definitely tired. Moreover, they are facing a well-rested Manchester United, and they will certainly not benefit from a well-prepared Manchester United with a tired division.
However, Martin Taylor disagreed with Andy Gray, "No, Andy! Benitez's nonsensical rotation will put them on the back foot. Having overcome Lyon's desperate survival, their morale is high. I'm not surprised if we beat Manchester United with this line-up! ”
The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and when the two were at a stalemate, the game began. (To be continued.) )
