This year's Christmas is the most festive time Ye Yifeng has spent in Europe.

There was nothing to buy at home, and I didn't go out to join in the fun.

Don't even care what kind of activities are there in Manchester.

Ye Xiaoxian fell ill after she came back, Tang Mo took care of her for a moment, Ye Yifeng not only trained during the day, but also tried his best to take care of his daughter when he returned home at night.

Boxing Day.

Old trafford.

The Premier League Devils schedule opens.

Compared to previous years' Devil's schedule, this year's Devil's schedule will be longer, with more competitions and a more compact schedule.

It's a big test of the team's squad depth.

Manchester United face the challenge of new local giants Newcastle United.

Newcastle United, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, have improved their squad through two transfer windows.

After the start of the new season, although the performance did not have the sense of déjà vu of the explosive combat power, it was also firmly in the upper reaches of the Premier League standings.

The rise of Newcastle United, Manchester United has contributed a lot.

In the tunnel they met a lot of former teammates.

Eric Bailly at the back, Nemanja Matic and Jesse Lingard in midfield, Anthony Martial up front.

Perhaps Anthony Martial is the only one who wants to strike a blow against his old club at Old Trafford.

Others have no particular hostility towards United.

Just look at the line-up of Newcastle United, absolutely star-studded.

It's just that the color is uneven.

Before the start of the game, Ye Yifeng showed the fans his fourth Ballon d'Or.

Strictly speaking, all four of his Ballon d'Or awards were during his time at Manchester United, although the first was more of a reference to his final season at Atletico Madrid.

Red Devils fans are proud of him and proud of him.

To some extent, Red Devils fans also expect Ye Yifeng's achievements to have a profound impact on the future of the Red Devils, spurring and inspiring a new generation of players.

Players from both teams enter the pitch.

Carrick stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, although the Red Devils are the league leaders, on a par with Manchester City, he feels in danger!

The sense of crisis is strong.

The impact of the World Cup on the team is unpredictable, and the changes it will bring to the Premier League title race are unpredictable, but if you don't have a sense of worry and just wait for the trend to get worse, you may regret it.

Carrick, who has always been quiet and focused on his work, showed unprecedented seriousness at this stage, of course, he did not become a frightened bird, and doing the team's mental work was also in moderation.

Avoid self-defeating situations.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe stood on the sidelines looking a little distraught.

Last season's relegation success was like a victory escape, preventing the new tycoons from becoming the laughing stock of world football.

And after the start of the new season, Fleet Street has been tirelessly repeating a point: Eddie Howe is not worthy of Newcastle United!

In the beginning, Newcastle United's shortlist for the manager was Jose Mourinho, Zinedine Zidane, Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pochettino and many others.

But it's a pity that they have no other attraction than money.

And money may not be able to quickly pull up a super luxurious lineup.

Because the player resources in world football are unique.

Manchester United's $80 million effect is already a lesson from the past.

Coupled with the boycott of the Premier League teams, Newcastle United's spending is not too exaggerated, and it can only be said that they have offered good conditions for the personal treatment of players.

Pick up some obsolete products from the European giants.

Even so, it's a battle of riches that Eddie Howe hasn't fought in his life.

To be fair, Newcastle United's squad is worthy of where they are now.

But in the eyes of Fleet Street, Eddie Howe, who has only coached civilian teams, may be the one who is least worthy of the record and ranking.

That's why he's very glaring.

It was as if a group of people who were determined to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace were mixed into an ordinary monkey who had no ability.

Eddie Howe also doesn't know what he has to do to stop being questioned by the outside world.

Trying to qualify for the Champions League from BIG4 is hard to beat.

It may be that the top three teams in Serie A may not be able to grab the fourth in the Premier League!

If Newcastle United are dropped to Ligue 1, Eddie Howe will surely be confident of finishing in the top three.

But this is the Premier League.

Manchester City and Liverpool, who have been unscrupulous for the past few years, have added Chelsea this year.

Who lives these days?!

Fleet Street advertises this game as another key test of Eddie Howe's coaching ability!

The standards are too harsh!

Test him with Premier League hegemons and Champions League winners?

He didn't know whether to be flattered or scold the group of bastards on Fleet Street for hyping up the topic without a lower limit!

The starters of both teams enter the pitch.

Manchester United started 433.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Jules Kounde, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw.

Midfielders: Tielemans, Adams, Fred.

Forwards: Rashford, Ye Yifeng, B Fee.

Newcastle United started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Defenders: Manquillo, Bailly, Schar, Lewis.

Midfielders: Anthony Martial, Aaron Ramsey, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Coutinho.

Forward: Morelos.

Newcastle United's squad has changed drastically from last season.

As for the media linking players such as Haaland, Mbappe and Chiesa Jr. with them, it is complete hype.

Even Ye Yifeng has been on Newcastle United's recruitment list.

So what?

Newcastle United didn't even dare to make an offer, knowing that Manchester United couldn't sell it, and the players couldn't come, so why waste time?

Hype creates traffic?

That will only expose Newcastle United's transformation from a tyrant to a clown in the public eye.

The best star resources in football, they simply can't touch.

The game begins.

Manchester United's only available strikers are Ye Yifeng and Rashford, in this case, Carrick chose to let B Fei go to the guest striker in order to continue the team's attack, and the creativity of the midfield declined, but it also made the team's attack simpler, and the wings flew together.

After the opening, Manchester United naturally took the lead in attacking with home advantage.

Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot opened their bows left and right, and Ye Yifeng scrambled back and forth in the middle of the penalty area, but the quality of his team-mate's passes dropped significantly.

Newcastle United's defence was focused, defending aggressively and showing no flaws.

Although Ye Yifeng ran positively, he was closely guarded and failed to create a threat.

Most of Newcastle United's players have not played in the World Cup, so they are very fit.

When defending, he gradually expanded the range of counter-attacks and gradually put pressure on Manchester United.

When the main attacking Manchester United formation naturally pressed, the back line was already behind the halfway line.

When the midfield playmaker struggled with ball selection, Tielemans found Kounde with a diagonal cross to Maguire.

Maguire originally had a relaxed environment for ball control, but when he looked up at the front, when the opposing striker Morelos rushed to press, he changed the direction of the ball and was directly cut off by the opponent!

The former Grassger Rovers striker gets a straight chance to go first!

Dribbling all the way into the Manchester United penalty area and blasting the ball into the far corner of the net!

David De Gea stood in the box with his hands on his hips and looked at Maguire.

Yes!

As long as you look at the scene, it's okay when the wind is calm.

You can rest assured.

Manchester United will definitely make things difficult for their own people!

Otherwise, they wouldn't be the Red Devils.

Red Devils fans looked at Maguire with bewilderment.

Don't do that.

Do you really want to take back the main position from Raphael Varane?

Carrick frowned on the sidelines, the feeling in his heart was amazing!

Maguire's mistake gave a big gift, why wasn't he surprised at all?

What does this prove?

It just proves that he was right to demote Harry Maguire to the bench and let Jules Kounde and Raphael Varane play as the main players.

It's just a pity that Varane can't play now.

Ye Yifeng was quiet today, and he tried to keep himself focused only on the game.

Because Ye Xiaoxian is sick, if he is slightly distracted, he will be worried in his heart.

The excitement in the game is relatively limited.

Manchester United tried to play steadily, but Newcastle United took advantage of the win and relied on more energy to counter-attack and press.

For a while, it was a little difficult for Manchester United to organize their offensive normally.

Ye Yifeng didn't get a chance in the front court for a long time.

It's not just him, Rashford and Fernandes don't seem particularly excited either.

I don't know if it's because of the World Cup or the Christmas revelry.

Seeing that the first half of the game was in the second half, Manchester United did not play a decent threatening attack and continued to attack.

The fans were also a little impetuous.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, are getting more and more excited and playing aggressively.

Harry Maguire has been a brave man and has been quite satisfactory in defence, while Jules Kounde has been solid.

Newcastle United couldn't get a good chance in the box.

So it turned to a long-range shot from the periphery.

In the 41st minute, when Coutinho cut inside on the wing, he created a long-range opportunity for Lingard.

Lin Huang of the former Dream Theater blasted a long-range shot from outside the arc of the penalty area.

It was clearly a good kick.

The ball rolls quickly towards the middle of the goal.

Ye Yifeng turned around and started to run to the frontcourt, but as soon as he turned around, he heard the cheers of the Newcastle United fans!

What's going on?

He turned to look back at the goal.

De Gea crawled into the goal with a rolling belt and knocked the ball out of the goal.

Ye Yifeng was puzzled.

I just turned around and missed something?

He looked at the big screen.

In the goal replay, De Gea made a normal save, but the ball slipped through his hands!

it!

Typical butter hands!

Carrick almost didn't slow down in one breath and suffocated himself on the spot!

Red Devils fans frowned and looked at the stadium speechlessly.

I haven't seen you for more than a month, Maguire and De Gea, what have you been through?

If there's any bizarre experience, tell your story out loud!

Don't take revenge on the team like that!

De Gea stood in front of the door a little ashamed, Maguire looked at him, the two looked at each other, De Gea helplessly spread his hands.

Well, you're even!

But Manchester United are two goals behind at home to the new local tycoons!

Before half-time, United were unable to organise a decent attack.

After the end of the first half, Ye Yifeng walked to the players' tunnel with a gloomy expression.

I'm a little angry!

In normal times, he can still be sunny.

Today he was for the first time in a long time!
