Chapter 846 The Undead Red Devil
In this Champions League quarter-final with Rome, Manchester United finally scored directly with Yin Jun's free kick and beat the opponent 3:2 in the away game, which also gave Manchester United an advantage in the two rounds of knockout rounds.
Back in England, Manchester United ushered in the next game after less than three days of rest.In the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United visited Fratton Park to challenge Portsmouth.
Since the Pompey Legion was promoted to the Premier League in the summer of 2003, they have experienced relegation and hard work in the previous three seasons. This season has demonstrated the strength of the upper and middle reaches of the Premier League.
This season, after 31 rounds, they scored 11 points with a record of 10 wins, 10 draws and 43 losses, temporarily ranking ninth in the Premier League. With only 9 points and 5 points, there is still hope of hitting the European war.
Since this game is less than 70 hours away from the Champions League game in the middle of the week, and Manchester United will face Rome at home next Tuesday night, and in the middle of the week, they only narrowly beat Rome, so Ferguson has made some changes to Manchester United's starting lineup. made a major adjustment.Yin Jun did not start again because Scholes, who was suspended for a red card and missed the second round with Rome, continued to start.In addition, Giggs and Solskjaer, two veterans, and Ronaldo and Rooney, the two main players, also sit on the bench.
Facing Manchester United, which has almost rotated most of the main lineup, the Pompey Legion saw hope of defeating their opponents at home.They were more proactive after the opening, but Manchester United patiently dealt with the home team.
Manchester United suffered a blow in the 30th minute of the game. Richardson stopped the ball in the backcourt and was intercepted by O'Neill. Mulwaluwari shot from 23 yards was saved by Van der Sar. A shot from 8 yards broke the deadlock.
………………
Manchester United entered the half-time break with a 0:1 disadvantage.
At the beginning of the second half, Ferguson replaced Richardson, who performed poorly in the first half, with Ryan Giggs to strengthen the offense.
Although Manchester United currently has a 7-point advantage over Chelsea, this does not mean that Manchester United's championship is really stable.Because in the next month, Manchester United will usher in a devil's schedule.
From the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on the evening of April 4th to early May, Manchester United is likely to play 4 games!
This includes 6 Premier League games, 1 FA Cup semi-final, and two semi-finals against Rome that have already been determined.
Not surprisingly, Manchester United will eliminate Roma and break into the Champions League semi-finals.In this way, Manchester United will also play two Champions League semi-finals with their old rival AC Milan!
The opponents of the six Premier League games are Portsmouth, Sheffield United, Chelsea, Middlesbrough, Everton and Manchester City. Chelsea is the opponent for the title, and Portsmouth and Everton are competing for the European qualification. At a glance, Sheffield United is a relegation team, Middlesbrough is a famous giant killer, and Manchester City is a rival in the same city. Every opponent is difficult to measure with common sense.
And the opponents in the Champions League are absolutely formidable enemies.Even if they beat Roma away in the first leg, Manchester United is still hard to say with absolute certainty.Even if they advance to the semi-finals, they will face the challenge of AC Milan. This is Manchester United's old opponent in the European arena in the previous seasons, and it is very difficult.
In other words, Watford, the opponent in the FA Cup semi-finals, looks a little bit easier to bully.As the current deputy squad leader of the Premier League, although the Hornets are still 11 points away from the relegation zone, they have not completely lost hope of relegation after all.
In order to fight for relegation, they are likely not to die against Manchester United in the FA Cup.
………………
Because there are a lot of hard bones in the Premier League, Ferguson doesn't want to lose any of them, because you don't know what the next league will be.
If they lose to Portsmouth today, Manchester United's lead will be reduced to 7 points when Chelsea have won this round.In addition, in the 34th round, they will go to Stamford Bridge as a guest. If they accidentally lose again, Manchester United will be really dangerous.
Therefore, in today's league, Ferguson hopes to win, at least to strive for a draw.
However, Giggs' debut did not bring fundamental changes to the situation.Although Manchester United has created a lot of threats in a row, there is still some distance from the goal.
So, in the 65th minute of the game, when Manchester United almost lost the second goal, the unbearable Ferguson directly resorted to his trump card. Yin Jun and Solskjaer came off the bench at the same time. They replaced Fletcher and Cary gram.
In this way, Manchester United has no pure defensive midfielder in the midfield.
………………
After Yin Jun debuted, he appeared in the middle of the midfield with Scholes, Giggs and Park Ji-sung separated on the two wings, and Solskjaer and Alan Smith partnered as double strikers.
Yin Jun created a scoring opportunity shortly after his debut.
In the 69th minute, Heinze passed the ball, and Yin Jun passed it directly to Alan Smith at the first time. The latter broke into the penalty area and was tackled behind Primus. Solskjaer shot wide from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area. Borg believed that Primus successfully tackled first and rejected Manchester United's penalty appeal.
However, Manchester United quickly equalized the score.In the 76th minute, Scholes crossed the penalty area diagonally from the right. Yin Jun successfully headed the ball near the penalty spot and scored the 26th Premier League goal of the season.
Five minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback.Scholes passed the ball into the penalty area, Smith headed the ball, and Yin Jun slammed the ball into the goal from the corner of the small penalty area. While scoring the 5th league goal of the season, he also helped Manchester United reverse the score.
However, Manchester United's lead did not last long, and this was still a very low-level mistake.
In the 89th minute of the game, Manchester United's midfielder was passing the ball in the backcourt to waste time, while Portsmouth, who were unwilling to fail, pressed the whole team.
Just when Yin Jun thought that the opponent's defense had exposed a huge loophole and Manchester United was about to usher in a game-killing goal, Manchester United's defense made a mistake that stunned everyone!
Ferdinand was forced by Lualua, and passed the ball back to Van der Sar, but the Dutchman had already run out, the ball was far out of the control of the two, under the surprised eyes of everyone in the audience Rolled into the empty door!
Fortunately, this was not the final score of the game. Manchester United scored again after entering injury time.In the 91st minute, Manchester United played an exquisite attack. Yin Jun's pass tore through Portsmouth's defense. Solskjaer's shot from 18 yards from the left side of the penalty area was saved by James. O'Shea 6 A supplementary shot from the yard scored.
In the end, Manchester United scored 4 goals in this game, and Manchester United narrowly won with a score of 3:2!
