Winning the Double Red Club, drawing with Manchester City, and finishing second in the league made the controversial Van Gaal temporarily secure his position.

The battle with Lyicester City for the top spot has Manchester United fans full of anticipation.

It's been a long time since they've been at the top of the Premier League.

The former Red Devils Manchester United are coming back!

But it is not difficult for attentive fans to find that today's Manchester United is no longer the Manchester United it once was.

In his first season in charge of the team, Van Gaal spent £140 million to bring in Luke Shaw, Herrera, Marcos Rojo, Di Maria and Blind.

£6 million on loan, £346,000 a week, signing Colombian striker Falcao.

In the early stages of the 2014-15 season, United were underwhelmed and underperformed, and before August, news of Louis van Gaal's dismissal was already spreading.

But Manchester United CEO Ed Woodward, as Van Gaal's unstoppable backer, has repeatedly supported the Dutch in public and told fans that they should wait rationally.

At the same time, Manchester United's results improved in the second half of the season, and finally finished fourth in the Premier League with 70 points, returning to the Champions League after a season's absence.

Knowing that Manchester United have Champions League to play in the upcoming new season, Van Gaal can't wait to submit a purchase order to the owner in order to prove himself.

Depay, Darmian, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Martial, with a total investment of more than £110 million.

For two seasons, Van Gaal spent a lot of money in the transfer market, like a chef buying a bunch of fresh ingredients, and was nicknamed "Chef Fan" by fans.

This season, under Louis van Gaal's tutelage, Manchester United's results have improved.

A win over Lyicester City would give them a chance to rise to the top of the table.

At the pre-match press conference, Van Gaal made a bold statement that he must win the opponent and successfully reach the top.

Compared to Van Gaal's high profile, Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is very low-key.

In the pre-match press conference, he repeatedly stressed that the team's goal is still to be relegated and win 40 points, and the top position does not prove anything.

Although he was only 12 points away from reaching his goal, Ranieri bluntly said that the real difficulties have only just begun.

Speaking of the grievances between the two, it has to start from the end of the last century.

The two landed in La Liga in the same year.

Louis van Gaal was in charge of Barcelona and led Barcelona to two consecutive league titles.

Ranieri coached Valencia twice, winning the 1998-99 Copa del Rey and the 2004 UEFA Super Cup.

Although Ranieri's coaching honor is not as good as that of Van Gaal, in the eight meetings between the two, they have won 4 and lost 4, and they are evenly divided.

Ranieri also scored three kills against Louis van Gaal in nine days over two legs in the Copa del Rey and in the league.

With half an hour to go before the start of the game, the team has warmed up and is ready to return to the locker room.

At this time, the on-site broadcast camera suddenly turned to the VIP area.

[Thierry Henry, the Premier League's top scorer, has also come to the King Power Stadium. 】

[Two of the former Premier League top scorers, Thierry Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy, both sat in the stands. 】

Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thierry Henry shook hands warmly, with both former top scorers in the Premier League, with Thierry Henry winning four Premier League Golden Boots and Ruud van Nistelrooy winning just one.

"Will the record be rewritten?" Henry smiled.

Although he has more Premier League Golden Boots than Ruud van Nistelrooy, Henry has a terrifying record of scoring in ten consecutive games, and Henry asks himself how difficult it is to do.

Vanney said with a smile: "Records are meant to be broken, but unfortunately I'm retired." ”

The two sat down and chatted.

Henry is now at home, preparing to take the coaching certificate and change careers to become a coach.

And Ruud van Nistelrooy is already an assistant coach of the Dutch national team.

This time, I came not only to witness a moment in history, but also to inspect the young player Depay.

The referee officiating the match was a young Craig Paulson.

Under the leadership of Paulson, the two teams slowly walked into the Royal Power Stadium, and deafening cheers poured from all directions.

[Welcome to a key match in the 14th round of the Premier League, Lyicester City hosts Manchester United.] 】

[Prior to this, Manchester City defeated Southampton 3-1 to temporarily top the table. Therefore, this game is not for both sides. 】

Last season, Manchester United struggled with a lack of major players in midfield, and out of compromise, Van Gaal put on a "big circle strategy".

The "big circle tactic" is actually to take advantage of the two wings, push quickly, and then pass the ball to find the high post in the penalty area.

It was with this style of play that Manchester United returned to the Champions League place.

But this style of play relies too much on Ferni's high point.

Later, Mourinho used Zouma to prevent Ferini from killing and cracking this tactic.

This summer, Louis van Gaal bought Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich and changed it from 4-1-1-4 to 4-2-3-1 to strengthen the midfielders and ball control.

Van Gaal's passing is not an attack, but a defense.

The requirements for organizing the back midfield, in addition to the function of the command tower when there is the ball, the other is to predict the landing point when the opponent clears.

Combined with the high post of the central defender and the overall pressing of the frontcourt, it is the key to maintaining the pressure of the possession play.

In the new season, Manchester United has returned to the top four through the run-in of new tactics and is a favourable contender for the title this season.

And the same seeking victory from change is Claudio Ranieri's Lyist City.

The attributes of the tinker have allowed him to transform the team with great success.

Solid defense and sharp counterattacks are the most direct and powerful proof of Lyicester City's impressive record of 8 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

A chef who has a lot of ingredients and can change many times, and a craftsman who lives by repairing finally ushered in a face-to-face showdown.

The game starts with Manchester United kicking off.

After Piggy Schweinsteiger joined the team, Van Gaal really developed towards his ideal passing.

But his pass-and-control system of defending instead of attacking has turned Manchester United into a slow league, which has also been criticized by many fans.

In the Premier League, fast-paced confrontation has always been an advocacy and slow passing has always been frowned upon.

As the game progressed, the tacit understanding between the teams slowly improved, and Van Gaal, who was all-attacking and defending in the Netherlands, was slowly reflected.

Cutting inside as a winger is the key to Van Gaal's quick words.

The winger with strong individual ability is the core of the attack, and the attack is organized from the front court to form a threat around him.

When passing to the feet of the winger, it can create a change in velocity.

That's a big reason why Anthony Martial played as a wing-back.

Just one minute into the game, United sent the ball to Anthony Martial on the left side of the edge of the box with a wide-ranging long pass.

Anthony Martial shook Mahrez away with a feint and cut in laterally, and Wayne Rooney in front of him had already stepped forward to ask for the ball.

If the ball is passed, it will definitely be a threat ball.

Manchester United, at this moment, is not slow at all.

Bang!

A black shadow was lightning fast, severing the ball cleanly from Anthony Martial's feet.

N'Golo Kante's defence won the applause of the fans.

His performance is far from over.

After the tackle, N'Golo Kante looked forward and got straight to the ball and smashed the ball over Albrighton's head on the left wing.

Carrick immediately moved closer to the landing point and competed with his opponent for the landing point.

Carrick, who had a height advantage, had a clear advantage in the scramble with his opponents, and pushed the ball forward from behind Albrighton.

But at the landing point, Rossi followed up and stabbed the ball into Mahrez one step ahead of Schweinsteiger.

Yes!

Schweinsteiger's up-and-go snatch brought Rossi down from behind.

Drip!

The referee blows for a stoppage, his arm flat on his side, pointing at the United goal.

Direct free kick.

But no yellow card was shown!

Amid a huge boo from the home fans, the Lycester players rushed around to put pressure on the referee.

Vardy was even more dissatisfied, pushing away Schweinsteiger, who took the initiative to show favor, which then caused a quarrel between the players on both sides.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams had a verbal altercation because of a foul, which shows that this game is very important for them.

[Oh, the game has just begun, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides is very strong. 】

[If you are a fan or friend who has just turned on the TV and sees this hot scene, don't think that you have the wrong channel. 】

[It's not Chelsea in the blue uniform, they're Lyicester City.] 】

[Welcome to the battle for the top of the leaderboard!] 】

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
