With a 16-game winning streak, Manchester United moved to Upton Park to challenge West Ham United. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Reds started the game with a high-spirited attack and scored in the 14th minute when Cristiano Ronaldo headed in a cross from Ryan Giggs in the box to give his side the lead. After taking the lead, United continued to intensify their attack and move towards a 16-game winning streak.

However, in the 19th minute, there was an accident when the Fletcher midfielder was tackled by West Ham midfielder Solano and fell to the ground.

It was a malicious foul, but the referee didn't say anything, not even a verbal warning. The unfair decision angered Manchester United's players.

They surrounded the referee, hoping to be treated fairly.

However, the referee insisted on his opinion and after dispersing the Manchester United players, the game resumed.

Misjudgment is part of competitive sports and is understood by professional footballers.

But at certain moments, it is difficult for them to convince themselves in their hearts.

The referee's decision encouraged the West Ham players to some extent. Defensively, they became much more brutal and frequently used fouls to contain United's attack.

Manchester United are not good babies to be kneaded, they also have fiery tempers. After a series of offensive failures, they retaliated while defending. For a while, the rough movements on the field continued, making the football game lose its own meaning.

As soon as the regular time of the first half arrived, the referee directly blew the game off.

If he is in injury time, he is afraid that he will directly stage an all-out martial arts in the stadium.

But the 15 minutes of the half-time break did not calm down the players on both sides.

At the start of the second half, Fletcher unleashed a retaliatory foul on the edge of the penalty area, sliding a tackle straight past Solano and receiving a yellow card.

After insisting on a free-kick, Solano couldn't hold on to the game and was substituted.

There was an immediate uproar of abuse at Upton Park, where angry West Ham fans denounced Fletcher. What's more, he threw some debris directly into the field, causing the game to be interrupted for several minutes.

It was only after the security guards had invited the debris-throwing fans out of the stadium that the game could resume.

But by this time the referee had no control over the game.

In the 57th minute, Yu Liang made a flying tackle in the defense and directly injured Panterhill, who had just replaced Solano, and was sent off with a red card.

Faced with the referee's red card, Yu Liang was indignant.

But he didn't babble on complaining, but spat at the referee and left the pitch without looking back.

Yu Liang has been thinking about the meaning of what Roy Keane said to him after the game.

Andy Welsh had similar conversations with him in Antwerp, but he has improved a lot back in Manchester. Confrontation, although his body is not particularly strong, but now it is enough to cope with the impact of ordinary players.

But the defense is fierce, and Yu Liang has not fully understood it yet. In his opinion, a ferocious defense comes at the cost of a card, as in a flying tackle he just made, which is obviously not in the interests and image of a professional footballer.

Yu Liang's dismissal put United on the back foot, and West Ham took advantage of the moment to score the equaliser from a corner by Anton Ferdinand, the younger brother of Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.

Anton Ferdinand's goal set off a wave of counter-attacks by West Ham United.

In the 82nd minute, substitute Carrick committed a foul on the edge of the penalty area and gave the opponent a free kick opportunity.

The West Ham player took a free-kick in front of the field, and Upson forced Brown to head it in the box to make it 2-1.

That scoreline was maintained until the end of the game, with United reclaiming a defeat and fixing the Premier League's longest winning streak at 16 games.

Manchester United's 16 wins came to an abrupt halt to the relief of the Arsenal players.

After being held to a draw by Newcastle, they have only won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1 in 4 games, and are seven points behind Manchester United in the table. Now United have lost and given them the opportunity to close the gap.

Ferguson was certainly in a bad mood for not being able to continue the victory, but what made him even more upset was the referee's actions in the game. He believes they have not been able to win 17 in a row, and that all the blame lies with the referee, who can control the game and can easily win the game.

"It's stupid for the FA to ask him to enforce the law!"

In the post-match press conference, not only Alex Ferguson, but also West Ham manager Alan Kirbishli lashed out at the referee.

"His penalty is nothing short of ****!"

After the game, Kirbyshley got the exact news that Panthiel, who was tackled by Yu Liang, will miss a month of play, and Solano, who was previously tackled by Fletcher, will miss 6 weeks, losing two big players at once, and the angry Kirbishley scolded at the post-game press conference, "Carrick, Fletcher's foul should have received a red card, and Yu Liang should have received a red card!" They are hateful executioners, they are not kicking, they are not kicking! ”

Ferguson did not respond to Kirbyshley's attack, and he had nothing to say about Yu Liang's red card, but criticized the quality of West Ham United fans. He claims that the next time they visit Upton Park, he hopes the FA will approve them to wear helmets for the game.

After the one-sided response to Kirbyshley, Ferguson did not say anything about the matter, and they immediately threw themselves into intense preparations after returning to Manchester.

At this time, the FA's punishment for Yu Liang also came down, with a red card suspension of one game, a two-game ban for spitting on the referee, and a penalty of 5,000 pounds.

After receiving this fine, Yu Liang handed over the fine happily.

After getting through this tired dog's schedule, and now being banned from the competition all of a sudden, Yu Liang can finally take a good breath. After taking two days off with Ferguson, Yu Liang flew directly to London to go to Agnes for New Year's Eve. After spending a week in London, Yu Liang returned to Manchester to continue training with the team.

In Yu Liang's absence, the Reds won three games in a row against Birmingham, Newcastle and Reading.

A week after the win over Reading, Yu Liang, who had been released from the ban, appeared on the field in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur.

Yu Liang, who returned from the ban, was in great form, completing a steal in the front court and assisting Tevez to score less than 20 minutes into the first half. In addition to his outstanding performance on the offensive end, Yu Liang's crazy pressing and ferocious defense on the defensive end made the Tottenham players fearful, and directly abolished two Tottenham players, helping the team defeat the opponent 3-1 and successfully advance.

However, Yu Liang's ferocious defense paid the price again, turning two yellows and one red in the 83rd minute, missing the fifth round of the FA Cup.

received a red card for two consecutive games, abolished three players, and immediately after the game, the media named Yu Liang a villain.

In fact, in the first few games of Yu Liang's return to Manchester United, he was known as a villain. But in the subsequent game, Yu Liang showed a gentlemanly demeanor, and the reputation of the villain gradually faded.

Now that he has received a red card for two consecutive games, the media of good things have moved Yu Liang's previous fierce defense to the public again. But compared to before, Yu Liang now seems to be even more hateful.

The "hateful" Yu Liang was finally able to feel the benefits of the villains in the match against Portsmouth.

When he came off the bench, as long as he made a tackle when defending, the Portsmouth players basically passed the ball around him as soon as possible. 2-0, Manchester United beat visiting Portsmouth to make it four wins in a row. (To be continued.) )
