Chapter 82 The Devil's Race
When the national team match day passed and Manchester United's international players who were called up by various national teams during this period returned to the team, the league restarted.
And as Manchester United challenged Fulham at Craven Farm at 10 o'clock in the evening on October 19th, Beijing time, the whistle started, which also means that a new devil's schedule for Manchester United has begun.
Starting at 10:19 pm on October 11th, British local time, and ending at 23:35 pm on November 10rd, British local time, in 6 days, Manchester United will usher in 3 games on the three fronts of the Premier League, Champions League and League Cup. Including 1 Premier League matches, [-] UEFA Champions League group matches and [-] League Cup match!
Playing 35 games in 10 days, an average of one game every three and a half days. In five weeks, Manchester United played double matches a week!
Among them, there are also two UEFA Champions League group matches going to Greece and Israel in the Middle East!
Whether flying to Greece or Israel, it means traveling thousands of kilometers.Even by plane, it takes four or five hours.
And that's just the time spent on the plane, plus the time to board the plane and get to the hotel, and that number has to be doubled.
What's more, it also involves changes in jet lag, climate changes and many other factors, which will have a greater impact on the team.
Especially the game as a guest in Greece is even more critical. Although Manchester United double-killed their opponents last season, the historical record cannot be used as the basis for judging the outcome of the game.The Greek giants are not weak at home, and the Bundesliga runner-up Bayer Leverkusen was even abused 6:2, which is extremely miserable.
If Manchester United does not play well in these two away games, the prospect of advancing to the Champions League, which is already a sure thing, may suffer twists and turns.
………………
At Craven Farm, Manchester United were stubbornly blocked by Fulham.
The impact of the FIFA virus on Manchester United is extremely huge. Not only did Van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand, Wes Brown and Butt enter the injury list, but the rest of the Manchester United players, as long as they played on the national team match day The state of the players is also extremely poor.
The only threatening shot of Manchester United in the first half, Yin Jun's pass found Scholes who was plugged in after him, and Jiang Tou's shot from the top of the penalty area was extremely threatening, but the home team's Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar completed this. The only task.Since then, Barthez has also resolved the dangerous shot of the Argentine Sava.Giggs, who ushered in the milestone of representing Manchester United in the 500th game, played poorly in the first half.
In the second half, Norway striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finally made the Fulham defender pay for his indecision after Giggs' shot was denied by Van der Sar.Yin Jun scored the ball to the right from midfield, Beckham made a long pass from the right, and the Norwegian volleyed from the middle of the penalty area, finally broke through Van der Sar's cross and helped Manchester United equalize.
Soon, Fulham won a controversial penalty, but Butters showed his magical side and prevented Fulham from overtaking the score again.
In the end, Manchester United, who scored 1 point, rose to No.3 in the standings.The top team changed ownership after this round. After beating Leeds United in an away game, Liverpool finally surpassed Arsenal, which lost in this round.
It was Toffee Everton who defeated Arsenal. Moyes not only helped his Wangnian handover to Ferguson, but also sent his rival in the same city to the top of the standings. The feeling in his heart was very complicated.
………………
After struggling to score 1 point in London, Manchester United quickly flew to Greece non-stop.The fourth round of the Champions League group stage will be on October 4, just four days later.
Although Manchester United beat their opponents 2-0 in an away game last season, they came to Greece again after a year, and Manchester United played very hard.
Yin Jun continues to play his heroic role in Manchester United's Champions League.
In the 21st minute of the first half, Blanc received a corner kick from Giggs and headed to help Manchester United go ahead. In the 59th minute of the second half, Yin Jun scored to help Manchester United expand the score.
Ferguson replaced Giggs and Beckham when the situation was good.These two have played too many games recently, and their current physical fitness has been on a red light. The performance of the two games after the national team game day was relatively poor.
Ferguson sent the wrong signal and almost paid for it.
In the 70th minute, Olympiakos substitute striker Chutos dribbled the ball at high speed. After wading through O'Shea, he shot a low shot from the left side of the penalty area into the near corner, rewriting the score to 1:2.

The opponent's goalkeeper touched the ball with one hand, but still failed to lift the crossbar. Manchester United finally won 3:2 and advanced to the second round of the group stage two rounds ahead of schedule.
………………
After flying more than 2400 kilometers overnight to rush back to the UK, Manchester United ushered in the 72th round of the Premier League in less than 11 hours, against Villa at Old Trafford.
