War of 1032 BIG4
On the evening of August 20, Turford Moore Stadium.
Manchester United's away game against promoted Burnley has come to an end, and Ferguson has a serious face to shake hands with the opposition manager in a routine post-match handshake, and after passing by the opponent, he did not hide the anger on his face!
Burnley fans were still celebrating in the stands.
It was as if they had been gifted by God.
As a promoted horse, they won their second game after losing to Stoke City in the first round!
And from Manchester United, the king of the Premier League!
What kind of victory would make them ecstatic?
Why not watch Manchester United bow down on their doorstep?
Ferguson's ears echoed with the taunts of Burnley fans, who knew that United had set a record of 41 years of humiliation.
Lost to Burnley in the league for the first time in 41 years!
But it's the kind of record that Ferguson doesn't care about.
There is no team that never loses.
But not only did United lose today, but the team's attacking chaos made him feel the severity of the situation.
Ryan Giggs said that "there is no substitute for Manchester United", in response to the media chatter reiterating that Manchester United are struggling in the post-Ronaldo era.
But with just two games, a stumbling 1-0 victory and a 1-0 win that has made the opposition wait for almost half a century to get their hands on it, is Manchester United really okay?
Losing at the starting line doesn't bode well, but Ferguson thought Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all three rivals had won in the same round. And the team is clearly better than Manchester United. Ferguson felt a headache!
Step into the away team's dressing room. In the shabby dressing room, Ferguson turned on his hair dryer and lashed out at the entire United squad in a fit of rage, before warning all the players that defending the title this season is unimaginable!
Yes, it's not just the external competitive environment that has changed.
Manchester United's own changes in quality have made it more difficult to defend their title.
Manchester United suffered a shocking upset, losing 1-0 at Burnley at Turford Moor.
In the same round, Arsenal sang a triumphant song at the Emirates Stadium to see off Bolton Wanderers 4-2.
Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea are getting better. 3:1 against Sunderland Black Cats at the Stadium of Light.
In the BIG4 group, Liverpool climbed to the top of the standings with goal difference, and joined Chelsea Arsenal to throw off defending champions Manchester United by three points!
In August, Liverpool faced the challenge of arch-rivals Aston Villa at home.
Although Martin O'Neill's team let go of midfielder Barry, Martin O'Neal's Aston Villa is still a force to be reckoned with, especially in the foundation of defensive defense, Aston Villa has a lot of experience.
In this game, Liverpool's defence was constantly under the onslaught of Aston Villa's two fast horses, Abbon Lajo and Ashley Young, and often turned around after Liverpool's attack was just finished, and Aston Villa's quick counter-attack came down to the city.
The pace of the game is very fast. The opening stage has been in a state of stalemate.
But in the 17th minute of the game, Qin Xiong moved to the middle on the side and shot from 34 yards from the goal. A surprise goal.
Without a hint of spin, the ball was blasted towards Aston Villa's goal.
The old goalkeeper Friedel was out of reach and could only look at the ball and sigh.
A world wave was born!
Anfield became a sea of celebration for Reds fans.
The KOP stands shouted Qin Xiong's name as a tribute.
However, the situation changed suddenly, and in the next 20 minutes, Aston Villa scored two goals in a row through a quick counterattack!
No one expected Aston Villa to complete the comeback, much to the Reds' point of embarrassment, Carragher was wounded in a collision with Abonlaho, and after bandaging the wound on the head, he continued to fight to give the Reds some morale boost.
Torres was not in great form for the race, and he failed in several attempts to break through.
Before half-time, Qin Xiong cut through the middle again, and instead of creating another chance for Torres, he crossed the reverse cut and fed the ball to Aurelio, who made a save from Friedel with a powerful shot from outside the box, and scored from Kuyt in the box to declare his presence in the milestone moment of his 150th appearance for the Reds.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Koeman stressed his composure on the counter-attack at half-time, and Liverpool's defence improved, but Gerrard gave a big gift to his opponent in the 62nd minute.
When Ashley Young cut into the box, Gerrard took a tackle from the side and brought Ashley Young down in the box.
The referee awarded a penalty and Ashley Young took it himself.
Liverpool, who fell behind again, did not stop there.
In the 67th minute of the game, Qin Xiong attracted at least three defenders on the left side and passed the ball back to Alonso, the Spaniard decisively shifted the attack, he passed the ball to Kuyt on the right side, who then sent a through ball to Gerrard, and the captain of the Reds atoneted for his sins with a powerful volley!
3:3
Six goals had been scored by the 70 minutes and the last 20 minutes were a moment for the Reds.
Torres finally recovered, in the 78th minute of the game, Qin Xiong broke through from the side and then kicked the ball back and sent an inside-spin cross, Torres grabbed the goal in the small penalty area before goalkeeper Friedel to score.
4:3
The morale of the Red Army was greatly boosted after the completion of the counter-reversal.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Alonso's corner kick was smashed into the Aston Villa goal by Skrtel.
5:3!
A thrilling and up-and-down game has come to an end.
The Reds took Aston Villa in a thrilling run at Anfield.
Koeman's expression was not relaxed after the game.
If the traditional English long ball rush doesn't make him too nervous, then the whirlwind counterattack in the Premier League makes him quite jealous.
Liverpool still have a long way to go!
In the same round, Manchester United burst into a strong burst after being beaten by Alex Ferguson.
The Red Devils danced wildly at Wigan Athletic's home stadium and bloodied the owners of the DW Stadium 5-0.
Arsenal continued their strong run since the start of the season, beating Portsmouth 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
Chelsea won 2-0 at Craven Cottage and Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea presented a terrifying sense of consistency.
In the first three rounds of the new season, only Manchester United unexpectedly broke out in the second round of the BIG4 group of the Premier League, and the record of the other teams is three consecutive wins!
But the final Premier League game in August will change the competition between the BIG4s.
Because Manchester United will meet Arsenal in the fourth round at Old Trafford, Liverpool and Chelsea can watch the fire from across the strait and reap the benefits! (To be continued.) )
