Clock-in and clock-out at half-time. Xiao Wen also overfulfilled his work tasks.

The encouragement of the remaining dozen or so teams in the Premier League has given Crystal Palace the illusion that we can make history. However, in front of Xiao Wen's cold performance. Their efforts suddenly seemed wishful thinking.

From the 65th minute of the second half, Crystal Palace fans looked at Xiao Wen, who had already taken a shower on the Manchester United bench. There was a trace of helplessness in my heart, but there was also a kind of masochistic happiness - Xiao Wen's first single middle school five yuan. I watched it live.

Mourinho, who was also in London and watching the game, looked gloomy. Looking at this group of Manchester United players who were beaten by him and his Chelsea last season, they are now like a pack of wolves.

Because of anger, he lost his mind slightly. Mourinho couldn't help but squirt a few words. I don't know who is spraying Chelsea's players this season.

At the same stage last season. Chelsea swept past Burnley and Swansea City, netted six goals at Goodison Park, and then won 16 of all competitions in December and are still unbeaten in 21 games!

In the latter stages of the first phase of the game, the relationship between Mourinho and Abou was on the verge of collapse, but last season it seemed that both sides were more experienced in dealing with them. They know better how to deal with each other's little shortcomings. The two of them seem to be so compatible.

The arrival of the championship also made Mourinho's contract renewal a logical thing.

However, neither Mourinho nor Chelsea seem to be in such a hurry to talk about a contract extension – after all, it is a matter of course. After the team completes the pre-season and training, the contract extension is not a problem. Jose Mourinho used to be uncomfortable working for such a big team, and Abou was looking for his own way in football, and that tension was sometimes unbearable.

"It's easy to say that when everything is going well." A member of the board of directors laughed at the press at the start of the season and said, "Wait until we lose five games in a row......"

Such a rash statement sounded like a prophecy in the end.

From Jose Mourinho's tantrums over medical staff to the FA's fines for Mourinho's behaviour on the touchline. The confidence of the players faded. The once impregnable Stamford Bridge stadium was breached by teams such as Crystal Palace, Southampton and Bournemouth.

What's even more terrifying is that Chelsea fans and the hierarchy... Even Abu saw a cruel fact - after being defeated 1:3 at home by Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, in 11 rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea won 3, drew 2 and lost 6! They are now fighting for relegation!

A short time later, Mendes walked in with a big grin, as if he were in his own home.

Although Mourinho has always regarded this agent as a mere agent. But judging from the development over the years, he knows Mendes's vision. Subconsciously remembered something, and my heart was slightly cold. Keep your mouth shut.

As soon as Mendes saw that it was a Manchester United game, he knew what Mourinho was sulking.

In fact, after the turmoil at Chelsea this season, Mendes has been standing silently behind Mourinho, as Mourinho's agent and good friend, and he has been up and down in the mall for many years, he has long passed the age of fighting and fighting, especially when he sees Mourinho in the team against the players, with the team doctor, and even with the FA and the Premier League to PK the world, Mendes can't help but think of the young man who is now swept by the camera, can play football and be a real person is not hypocritical, But it lubricates everyone.

Really hell. It's the first time Mendes has seen such a monster in all his years.

If Mourinho had recruited him at the beginning of the season, would he have been the way he is now?

"Give me a Xiao question. I can dominate Europe for a decade! ”

Mourinho looked at the big screen and suddenly said to Mendes.

He really took it.

On that night at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Xiao Wen single-handedly knocked Atletico Madrid, which was called the peak season, to the ground, and he shouted out the fall of the civilian giant and the brilliant rise of Xiao Wen.

Now that two years have passed in a flash, Xiao Wen is still rampant in the Premier League with his glory, which proves his judgment in a sense, and Mourinho is becoming more and more unprovoked...... I regret it even very much.

"You don't think he's a flash in the pan?" Mendes stares at Mourinho.

Mourinho said in a hoarse voice: "It's been almost three years. This ferocity has been maintained. Anyone who thinks he's just a shooting star is probably blind. ”

"There's no way he's coming to Chelsea?" Mendes squinted and walked to the sofa and sat down next to Mourinho. I didn't care at all, Mourinho's face was extremely ugly at this time. He looked at Mourinho and smiled and said: "I think he was happy at Manchester United. At least for the past two years, I shouldn't be moving around. ”

Mourinho's body suddenly passed a hint of coldness, and from Mendes's answer, he naturally remembered the picture of himself begging Xiao Wen in the summer, the little guy who was initially considered harmless by everyone to be harmless to humans and animals, and then became a big scourge in football.

And, so far. Mourinho even himself vaguely feels that Chelsea, to be precise, is the Chelsea of the second phase of Mourinho, and there is already a tendency to sink ships. It's not that the ship is going to sink!

The other day, Abramovich spoke with him alone, confirming his suspicions. As soon as he thought of this, he said cleanly: "As far as I know. If Louis van Gaal can win the Premier League and Champions League this season, he has the idea of retiring. ”

Mendes' face changed suddenly, and when he was about to refute Mourinho, he said that he had heard similar rumors. And Van Gaal had a similar expression at the press conference.

Mendez was silent for a long time.

Mourinho has been watching this scene quietly, knowing that Xiao Wen has some opinions about him, but he can't feel too worried. For some reason, he always had endless confidence in Mendes' ability to operate and his reputation and ability.

Mendes seemed to feel Mourinho's gaze and leaned back on the sofa. Sighing, "Recently, I have also probed Xiao Wen. Then, let's see how the season ends. ”

Mourinho nodded, and that was all there was to it.

……

November 4th.

Manchester United play CSKA Moscow at home.

With all the substitutes on the pitch, these United lads are still struggling to play.

Xiao Wen, who originally wanted to take a turn to rest, had to go into battle in the 80th minute, and in the 88th minute, he received Januzai's cross and stopped the ball on his chest, and successively buckled two opposing players in the penalty area and pushed the right foot into the near corner.

Manchester United won a hard-fought 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow.

Manchester United's Premier League opponent on 7 November will be West Bromwich Albion, or at home.

It is said that this weak team does not deserve such a large rotation of Van Gaal.

But.

This game is perhaps more important than the League Cup final, more important than this year's FA Cup.

None of them

If they win this game, then they will get rid of Tottenham Hotspur and have the longest winning streak in the opening of the five major leagues!

Before the game, the global media and practitioners, fans and celebrities from all walks of life paid great attention.

The Manchester Evening News even ran the slogan "Great game".

The Guardian listed the longest winning streak in the top five leagues before that: La Liga, Real Madrid won nine in a row in 1968/69, Bayern Munich won eight in the Bundesliga in 2012/13, Roma won 10 in Serie A in 2013/14 and Ligue 1 dates back to Lille in 1936/37. England, on the other hand, have shared an 11-game winning streak between Tottenham and Manchester United after the previous round. If United win against West Bromwich Albion in this game, regardless of the outcome at the end of the season, they will have a bright spot in history this season.

"Team Daily" believes: A long, long time ago, we gave Xiao Wen a controversial 10 points among fans. But judging from the performance of the new season, Manchester United's performance at the new club deserves a 10 points.

Sport also focused on the insanely possible start to a 12-game winning streak: although most of the big teams have fallen in the Premier League this season, 11 consecutive wins is still a remarkable achievement. If Manchester United can achieve a record of 12 consecutive wins, I believe that there will be no suspense in the Premier League title this season.

Germany's "Bild" said: This game is not a question of whether Manchester United can win, but how many they can win.

Old Trafford tickets were more than tripled.

And those football celebrities, in addition to Cantona, Beckham, Scholes and other Manchester United celebrities who said that they would definitely come to the scene to cheer, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rui Costa, Figo, Van Basten and even Matthaus and others also said that this game will go to the Theater of Dreams to witness history.

"Sky Sports" found out before the game that the ratings of this game were very high.

In the live broadcast room, the three iron triangle combination of Gary Neville, Carragher and Redknapp Jr. plus Manchester United legend Leo Ferdinand are already in place.

"I think the same as all the fans, this ball, Manchester United and Xiao Wen, is unstoppable." Carragher smiled a little hard at the two Manchester United legends.

Redknap Jr. was relatively calm, "Before the game, many West Bromwich Albion players spoke out on social media, and they will definitely do their best to be worthy of West Bromwich Albion fans, and of course, they also want to get the record of 'preventing Manchester United from getting the longest winning streak in the opening game'." ”

"It's a bit of a tongue-twister." Rio Ferdinand smiled, "As an absolute Manchester United fan, of course I would like to see Manchester United break records. But we also know that, generally speaking, there are many people who wet the bed until dawn. ”

Little Redknapp reacted, nodded, flipped through the information again, and faced Ferdinand: "But." Records sometimes come and don't come suddenly. For example, in '09. You did it with Nemanja Vidic, Van der Sar and a couple of guys. ”

Ferdinand was stunned for a moment before he remembered, "I remember." Van der Sar kept 14 consecutive clean sheets, and oh god, that's 1,302 minutes. The first was to break the Premier League's record of consecutive clean sheets. He then extended that record to 1,311 minutes, becoming the record holder for consecutive clean sheets in the top five leagues. This is also an amazing record! ”

"I hope Xiao Wen will lead Manchester United to another one today." Neville was convinced.

Watching the captains of both sides choose sides, in the camera, Xiao Wen's eyes are resolute, and he has more and more of a captain's style.

The game started quickly.

Amid the cheers of the fans in the stadium, Manchester United's West Bromwich Albion's forward pressure was extreme, and Depay and Rashford even forced to the bottom line! And central defenders Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo have also pressed past the halfway line.

Xiao Wen is still in the forward position.

It's just that, under the compression of the opponent's five defenders, they must not frequently run out of the penalty area to receive the ball, otherwise, there will be no chance to even touch the ball.

In the first ten minutes, although Mata gave Xiao Wen a picky pass, the opponent's double central defenders instantly blocked the eye, Xiao Wen shot with a kick, and also hit the opponent's calf and popped up the bottom line.

Depay and Marcus Rashford each attempted a long-range shot, one limp and one straight for the corner flag.

The director understands very well, and the camera sweeps to the football celebrities in the stands every few tens of seconds.

Many celebrities are sitting in a group, pointing in the direction of the court, not knowing what they are talking about?

The scene was a little dreary.

Louis van Gaal also walked to the side of the pitch. It seems that he also attaches great importance to this record.

Who wouldn't?

Especially for an older manager, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to set records.

It's just that the world problem of breaking the tight press, one is a long-range shot, one is a high striker, one is luck, and . It's a supergiant flash of inspiration.

Manchester United have no long-range shooters except for Xiao Wen.

Manchester United do not have a high striker.

United were almost unlucky for the last 10 minutes.

A flash of inspiration. Refer to Article 1.

Therefore, going around and around, it seems that they all have to find Xiao Wen to solve it.

Van Gaal is a little embarrassed, because nowadays, when commenting on Manchester United's results this season, many people on the Internet and offline say that Xiao Wen saved Manchester United from sliding into the abyss.

At first, Lao Fan was very angry, what's the matter, I, Van Gaal, didn't contribute, right, it wasn't me who quacked on the sidelines every game?

Later, though, he also saw it. Anyway, it's really going to be the end of the season, and he can't get around him.

A smile unconsciously appeared on his face..

Then

It stiffened a little, and then shocked!

Another positional battle.

Inside the box, West Bromwich Albion's defenders almost filled the entire box.

As soon as the camera swept away, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho Jr. watched extremely attentively, and Ronaldo even shook his head.

This made Neville laugh, "Ronnie shook his head when he saw it, how did this iron bucket array break?" ”

The voice is not finished,

Marcus Rashford dribbled horizontally in front of the box and was about to take it to the right touchline, and in front of him, Juan Mata ran inside the box.

But what can a 1.7-meter-tall Mata do in the opponent's tall defender back group?

Although near the penalty spot there are Depay and Shaw asked. These two are also not high school strikers.

It looks like another 'grinding foreign worker' attack that ended in nothing.

Rashford took two steps, but suddenly picked up the ball!

Juan Mata also ran sideways in the middle of the small penalty area and looked like he was going to run towards the corner flag area.

This ball

No, Mata can't turn around, at most he stops the ball with his chest and continues to take it to the side or knock it back to anyone, he's amazing.

That's what the fans thought.

Unexpectedly, Mata reacted so quickly that the defenders behind him couldn't react at all. Juan Mata soared straight into the air in the direction of the baseline, and the unbelievable courage of his left foot was cushioned back, and the ball flew into the middle of the box!

"Huh?" Leo Ferdinand was surprised.

In the middle of the penalty area, Depay was in front of the post and ran past.

But he took a centre-back.

Football continues to fly.

Suddenly, Evans, the central defender who was at Manchester United last season, suddenly flashed red in front of him, and a white leg slid towards Evans' waist.

Volley?!

Evans' instinctive left hand was raised, but that leg swooped into the ball.

Evans' wrist went numb, and he was shocked and could no longer get in the direction of the football.

Boom!

The ball was pumped into the bottom right corner of the goal with this foot extremely quickly!

Goalkeeper McHill didn't react!

In the stands, all the celebrities were surprised at first, and then even these superstars, who had seen a lot of world waves and had drawn countless wonderful goals, suddenly stood up and applauded this goal.

At this time, everyone relieved their senses, and looked at the person who got up from the ground.

Be.

Xiao asked!

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry. Yesterday was in a hurry, and I didn't even have time to ask for leave. I can only make up for it after the year. Good night. Heavenly Pleasures.
