Chapter 353: Meet Mourinho Again

After returning to Manchester from Japan, the Manchester United players were not given a chance to relax. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info awaits them with a still dense schedule.

While the rest of Europe entered the winter break and their players began to enjoy their holidays, they were frozen into dogs at Carrington. Even the players who have long been accustomed to the Premier League can't help but complain about such a cheating schedule.

Because Christmas is such an important holiday, they can't spend it with their families.

With a grudge against the FA, Manchester United, who embarked on an away journey, beat Stoke City 1-0 away and assisted his teammates to score the decisive goal, Yu Liang, who was named the best of the match after the game.

Yu Liang, who has had a good performance in a row, was interviewed by reporters in the mixed interview area after the game.

"25 games unbeaten?"

Manchester United have not lost a game since losing to Liverpool in the third round of the league and are unbeaten in 25 games in all competitions.

When the reporter said these words, Yu Liang was still very surprised.

Although this figure is still far from Nottingham Forest's record of 40 unbeaten in all competitions, it is not far from Real Madrid's 34 unbeaten in all competitions and Milan's 36 unbeaten in all competitions.

"Records are created to be broken by people! Last season, we set a new record. If this season is setting a new record, it will be a wonderful feeling! ”

Except for a few media, the relationship between Yu Liang and most of the media is not bad, so when Yu Liang said this, the reporters just smiled good-naturedly. But the implication is clear that they don't believe United can set a new record.

Not to mention Nottingham Forest's 40-game unbeaten run in all competitions, Milan's record of 36 unbeaten in all competitions alone has been held for almost 20 years.

It is true that records are created to be broken, but what can be called a record is not so easy to break. As for Nottingham Forest's 40-game unbeaten run in all competitions, it has been 30 years.

"We might as well set a small goal first, such as breaking Real Madrid's unbeaten record in all competitions!"

Although Yu Liang said it very seriously, the reporters still didn't take it seriously. In the report on the second day, they only understated it.

However, when Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at Old Trafford to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 26, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to the media in a high-profile manner and expressed his hope to break Nottingham Forest's 30-year unbeaten run in all competitions.

Many media outlets have slammed Ronaldo's remarks there.

"The new European Footballer of the Year is full of self-confidence and promises to break the 30-year unbeaten record!"

"Breaking the record of 40 unbeaten games in all competitions, hubris!"

"We just don't take Chelsea seriously!"

In contrast to other media outlets denouncing Ronaldo's arrogant remarks, pro-Chelsea media are touting that Chelsea will end Manchester United's unbeaten streak.

In their eyes, Manchester United's FA Cup rivals Southampton and League Cup rivals Derby County will not be able to prevent United from winning. That was exactly what happened, with Manchester United comfortably beating Southampton 3-0 at St Mary's. In the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, Derby County managed to hold a 1-0 lead until 72 minutes, with United scoring twice in three minutes to make it 2-1.

After the Carabao Cup, Manchester United returned home to Chelsea for the match to kick off at Old Trafford.

Chelsea's players also echoed the media before the game, with high-profile statements that they would end Manchester United's unbeaten run in this game.

Chelsea have been at a disadvantage in the strong dialogue this season, although they are at a disadvantage in the strong dialogue, but the fighting power is still quite good.

Even so, at Old Trafford, they were beaten by Manchester United. Only 15 minutes into the opening game, Yu Liang broke the ball in the middle of the field and launched an attack, Ronaldo broke through on the side and crossed the bottom bottom, and Rooney shot into the far corner from the right edge of the penalty area.

After the deadlock was broken, Chelsea stepped up their attack in an attempt to equalise, but they were all defused by Manchester United, and even played a number of dangerous counter-attacks. Had it not been for the crossbar at Old Trafford, United would have been 3-0 up at the end of the first half.

With a one-goal gap, the two sides came to the second half.

After accumulating Chelsea, they started the second half with a strong attack, and the adjusted Chelsea attack was indeed more dangerous than the first. But just as their attack was raging, their gates were pierced again.

Van der Sar's attack sent the ball straight out of the box, and Manchester United launched a long counter-attack again. This time Old Trafford's crossbar didn't play the role of savior, as Cristiano Ronaldo's shot from inside the post bounced off the inside of the post to make it 2-0.

The 2-0 scoreline seemed to signal another win for Manchester United.

The same journalists who touted before the game that Chelsea would end United's unbeaten run are now in the media gallery desperate to find a hole to dig into.

The game continued on the pitch and Chelsea, who were two goals down, were still attacking the United defence with Scolari's man, and they were still desperate for victory.

Unfortunately, with Manchester United's tenacious defence, they didn't get the win, and they didn't even score a face-saving goal.

3-0, Manchester United gave Chelsea a head-on blow at home, slamming Chelsea's three big mouths.

At the same time, the unbeaten streak in all competitions has been increased to 29, which is only 5 games away from Real Madrid's unbeaten record of 34 games in all competitions!

Looking at United's next opponents, it seems that no one can stop Manchester United from breaking Real Madrid's record of 34 games unbeaten in all competitions, except for a dense fixture schedule.

On January 14, 2009, in the 18th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home, and was unbeaten in 30 games in all competitions.

On January 17, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United, who were playing away, defeated Bolton Wanderers 1-0 and extended their unbeaten run to 31 games.

On January 21, in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Manchester United, who were playing at home, beat Derby County 3-0 and advanced to the League Cup final with an aggregate score of 4-1, achieving 32 unbeaten games in all competitions. The final opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, who eliminated their opponents on away goals.

With almost a month and a half to go before the EFL Cup final, Manchester United welcomed Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Thanks to goals from Dimitar Berbatov and Paul Scholes, Manchester United defeated Tottenham at home to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup. The result of this game also seems to indicate that the League Cup title has been booked by Manchester United.

After the FA Cup tie against Tottenham, Manchester United are now on a 33-game unbeaten run.

Now after every game, the media are there to exclaim that the best Manchester United is coming.

As for Manchester United fans, they are naturally immersed in Manchester United's unbeaten streak.

Some fans even said in interviews that they are now numb to Manchester United's unbeaten or won, and maybe they will be surprised if Manchester United loses the game one day.

In the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged West Bromwich Albion away.

Although before the game, West Bromwich Albion was united in saying that he would stubbornly prevent Manchester United from equaling Real Madrid's unbeaten record in all competitions. But when it came time to play, they couldn't do what they wanted.

5-0, thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez, Manchester United beat West Bromwich Albion away and successfully extended their unbeaten run to 34 games, tying Real Madrid's record of 34 games unbeaten in all competitions set by the season in the season.

Manchester United, who ended their January campaign with a winning record, managed to climb to the top of the league table, and left second-placed Chelsea by seven points, and it seems that the league title is already in the bag.

Manchester United, who won the Premier League's best coach and best player in January, have not stopped their pace as they enter February. In the 24th and 25th rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United won 1-0 respectively, and while winning eight consecutive victories, they extended their unbeaten record in all competitions to 36, tying AC Milan's record of 36 games in all competitions set this season.

The whole of Europe was in an uproar, asking who could stop this Manchester United team?

Clearly not Derby County, Fulham and Blackburn Rovers and the likes of Derby, United's unbeaten run in all competitions extended to 39, just one game away from the longest unbeaten run in all competitions in the top five leagues of 40.

So can Manchester United match or even break the record set by Nottingham Forest this year?

The media is in the negative.

Because Manchester United met a strong opponent, Inter Milan, the Champions League quarter-final opponent, Ferguson also met his fateful rival Munirio! (To be continued.) )
