Chapter 23 100 Balls, Dedicated to You!

After winning away at the Toffees, Manchester United welcomed the third round of Group E of the Champions League group stage at Old Trafford, this time against Haifa of Israel.

The gap between the "Red Devils" and their opponents was no different than the gap between professional and amateur teams, and this game became a game for Manchester United to brush up on statistics, with Shaq scoring a hat-trick in 5 minutes, 22 minutes and 78 minutes respectively.

"Chubby" Wayne Rooney and Nani also scored in the 30th and 71st minutes respectively, and Manchester United easily beat their opponents 5-0 at home, which is less than five goals compared to the 31 shots on goal in the whole game.

After this game, the "Red Devils" Manchester United also showed dominance in this season's Champions League, Shaq topped the list with 7 goals in the Champions League, Ganso's assists reached 6 times and was also the first, Nani's 94% pass success rate was still the first, and even the average score of players was the "Red Devils" dominated, Shaq ranked first with 9.33 points, and Rooney and Ganso tied for second with an average score of 8.97.

The strong recovery of the "Red Devils" this season has attracted the attention of European football, after all, it is the first giant in England, where is the foundation, last season was just because of Moyes's poor coaching ability to affect the results, and now he has been replaced by Simon? Grayson as a manager will be different immediately, and Manchester United spent more than 100 million pounds to buy Shaq and Jose? Stars such as Angel, Di Maria, Van de Wiel, and Papadopoulos have indeed improved significantly. Even if they soar to win the Champions League this season, it is not impossible.

Spain's "As" and "Marca" have also issued warnings about the teams they support......

"Barcelona have to be wary of Simon if they want to make a difference in the Champions League this season? Grayson and his Manchester United, the 'Red Devils' are recovering strongly this season. Eight wins in a row in the league and three wins in the Champions League group stage, as well as a League Cup win, and 12 consecutive wins in official games have made the 'Red Devils' unstoppable! ”

Carlo Ancelotti's first season in charge of Real Madrid was not a success, although they met Leeds United in the Champions League quarter-finals, but the runners-up finish below Barcelona again in the league has pushed Real Madrid's fans to the limit, and if they can't win a league or Champions League title this season, Ancelotti's coaching career at the Bernabeu will come to an end. In the league, they naturally have to be careful of their only opponent, Barcelona, but in the Champions League, they have to be careful of Simon? Grayson's new 'Red Devils'. ”

None of the supporting media of Spain's two giants mentioned defending champions Leeds United, again after Louis van Gaal took charge of the Young Guards this season. Although this team has made a lot of personnel additions, the team's tactical play has never been formed, and even after suffering two consecutive defeats in Group C of the Champions League group stage, it has been at the bottom of the points.

Now Leeds United fans are also attacking the old Dutchman, and even Leeds United's chairman Bierhoff has not escaped. A "quadruple winner" from last season turned out to be so weak this season. However, the Dutch old man was still stubborn because of the big mouth of the "beast" and put it on the bench, and the team showed signs of collapse in the two major domestic and continental competitions, which was already intolerable to fans after the team's net investment of nearly 100 million pounds in transfer fees.

Compared to Van Gaal's anxious days, Simon? Grayson's managerial career at Manchester United really shouldn't be too comfortable!

Simon today? Grayson is no longer the talented rookie he was when he led Leeds United to the Premier League, and he is now able to implement the rotation system on the team without the fans even realizing it.

Simon? Grayson's rotation is all based on the team's schedule, with the exception of Shaq, a pervert who is always tireless, always hungry for the game, and always hungry for victory, everyone else is rotated by two or three people per game. It not only ensures that the team's results are not affected, but also does not strengthen the fitness of certain players in key games.

October 25th. Manchester United beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0 away from home, with Cleverley, who had been replaced by Di Maria, scoring twice in the 65th and 68th minutes to complete the brace.

The new "Red Devils" Shaq received Cleverley's cross from the left just 12 minutes into the game, jumped near the penalty spot and headed the ball into the top right corner of the Blackburn gate to score.

After the game, Shaq, who wore the captain's armband and opened the door to victory for the team, was not named Man of the Match, but "Smart", who scored twice and assisted once and participated in all the goals, was voted the best player.

However, Shaq's performance has been affirmed by Manchester United fans, and the "Red Devils" fans are increasingly able to see the changes brought by Shaq after joining the team, he has scored a lot of goals, but it is not for the sake of data, on the contrary, many times Shaq's goals are very crucial, either to open the scoring for the team, or to seal the win for the team, such goals...... It's worth a thousand gold!

Before the League Cup on October 28, the "Brutal Simon", who had established himself in Manchester United, once again showed his brutal nature, this time he put the twin brothers Rafael and Fabio, who were very valued by the "old man" Ferguson, on the transfer list.

The two brothers, Fabio and Rafael, one left and one right, were originally valued by Ferguson, and even hoped to train them into a second pair of Neville brothers, but these two very talented Brazilian players have grown very slowly at Manchester United. Grayson has pushed the transfer market.

In fact, the failure of Fabio and Rafael is also because today's Manchester United is no longer the original Manchester United, and the current "Red Devils" have long been the number one giants in England, and there are not many opportunities for young players to get games in the first team, and they often need to be loaned to other teams to prove themselves. Then they could return to Manchester United to be used, but the two of them did not choose to go out on loan, but stayed at Manchester United and waited for their chance. I haven't been able to succeed in getting on the top for a few years.

This season, Simon? After Grayson took power, he spent a lot of money to buy Jose? Angel and Van der Wiel, in addition to Evans and Chris Smalling can play left and right backs, so Simon, who has always advocated a lean policy, has always advocated a lean policy. In Grayson's eyes, the two brothers Fabio and Rafael will naturally become redundant, and it will be a matter of time before they are hung up on the transfer sign.

In the fourth round of the League Cup. Manchester United host Leicester City, Simon? Grayson sent Vidic, Evans, Smalling, Ashley? Yang and other substitutes.

Even Hernandez was given a chance to start, which is not the case for the "Little Pea", who has yet to play for Manchester United this season. It's definitely a reassuring pill, otherwise the 26-year-old Mexican talent would have thought he was going to be sold in the winter transfer window.

The "Little Pea", who started the game, fought fiercely and on 16 minutes received Shaq's precise scalpel through ball and fired a low shot past Leicester City...... 1:0！

Shaq received a pass from Cleverley on 28 minutes. From the left side of the arc, he slotted the ball with his left foot into the bottom right corner of the Leicester goal. The ball bounced into the goal only after hitting the right-hand post...... 2:0！

A two-goal lead would have ensured the Red Devils advance to the next round of the Carabao Cup, but the hero of the game came in the second half, and then a bloody victory followed, and he was ...... Rooney!

Rooney, who only came on in the second half, completed a hat trick with overhead kicks in the 52nd, 65th, and 77th minutes, and the efficiency of the three goals in the 22nd minute made "Little Fat" look as brave as a god.

Papadopoulos scored with a header from a corner kick in the 86th minute to lock the score at 6:0!

This Carabao Cup fourth round is after the game. In addition to the two substitute goalkeepers in the Manchester United team, Robert? Aside from Green and Cussac, the first-team players all have appearances. This also foreshadows, Simon? Grayson's purge of Manchester United...... It's over.

In the 10th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United welcomed Stoke City at home, which was originally a game without suspense, after all, the "Red Devils" were already very strong at Old Trafford. Under Grayson's tutelage, Manchester United has achieved an amazing record of winning all of them, and it can be said that the result of this game is already known without playing.

But Old Trafford was still packed to the brink of Manchester United fans on this day, because there was a very, very, very important thing to watch in this game......

In the 2011~2012 season, Shaq played 42 Championship games for Leeds United and scored 26 goals, scored 20 goals in 37 Premier League games in the 2012~2013 season, scored 40 goals in 36 games in the 2013~2014 season, and ...... this season 13 goals in 9 games!

Thereupon...... 26+20+40+13…… 99！

Shaq's goal in the Championship for the "Young Guards" is also a league goal, so if you calculate it this way, Shaq is very likely to usher in his 100th league goal in this game!

After Shaq's "league 100" goal was fired before the game, Manchester United's stars congratulated him in advance, and everyone wanted to help Shaq accomplish this feat, and he scored so many goals in a little more than three years, which is a record in English football.

The good brother "Chubby" Rooney specially prepared a T-shirt with red letters on a white background for Shaq, with only three numbers 1 printed on the front and back...... 0…… 0！

It's not that anyone thinks that Shaq can't score 100 league goals in this game, and with a humanoid monster like Shaq, scoring goals is not a problem when his teammates are all about to help him score!

But no one expected that Shaq's freak was indeed too perverted, he didn't use others to assist at all, and in the first 6 minutes of the game, Shaq was brought down by the opponent with the ball in the right front, and Manchester United got the opportunity to take a free kick in front.

The ball was between 35 and 38 meters away from the Stoke City goal, but Shaq stood alone in front of the ball, ran three steps, and then pulled the ball out with his right foot!

"Whoosh!"

The ball flew extremely fast in the air, drew an inward deflection arc, and finally landed in front of the Stoke City goal, the goalkeeper jumped up and pounced on the sideways movement, but failed to touch the ball, the ball ...... It's a bit high!

But the next moment......

"Dang!"

The ball hit the underside of the crossbar, bounced into the goal with a crisp sound...... The ball is in!

Yes!?

This...... That's in!?

Manchester United's players were dumbfounded, this goal was ...... It's too easy, right!?

“GOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

Shaq roared and took off his jersey, revealing a white T-shirt with the number 100 printed on it, and quickly ran to the bench of the Manchester United coach, and Simon cheered down with his fists raised? Grayson hugged each other.

At this time, Simon lying on Shaq's shoulder? Grayson's eyes moistened as he saw ...... I saw a small handwritten line of red letters on the white T-shirt: My most respected Simon, 100 balls for you - Shaq!

Oh yes, it's still on! It's all back! HOHOHO~~~~~~~~~~~~Who has a commuter pass? 10+1 Let's move on! (To be continued......)
