Chapter 863 The True Devil's Home Arena



When Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the 33rd round of the Premier League begins.Therefore, in this round of the league, the top three including Manchester United have been postponed.

On the weekend, the 34th round of the Premier League took place, but Manchester United will play in the FA Cup semi-finals, which caused Manchester United's league to be postponed again.

And this round of the league is the key battle between Manchester United and Chelsea.

Originally, according to the normal schedule, this game is likely to become a battle that directly determines the ownership of the league championship this season.Because under normal circumstances, the opponents of the two teams in the 33rd round of the league, Sheffield United and West Ham United, would find it difficult to resist the progress of the two teams.

In this way, before the start of this game, Manchester United's score should be 87 points, while Chelsea's points should be 77 points.

As long as Manchester United beat Chelsea away, the Red Devils will have 90 points, 13 points ahead of Chelsea.

With only 4 rounds left in the league, Manchester United will directly win the league championship trophy at Stamford Bridge!
However, the change of the schedule has killed this possibility.

Of course, with Manchester United's current huge lead and Manchester United's current terrible state, it is only a matter of time before the Red Devils win the 18th top league championship in team history.

………………

At 4:14 local time on April 17th in the UK, at Villa Park Stadium, a focus battle started with the whistle blowing. The Red Devils Manchester United faced Watford.

This is the semi-final of the FA Cup this season, and it is also a match between the Premier League's top team and the deputy squad leader.

Before the game, all parties were optimistic that Manchester United could beat the Hornets to advance.

Watford has only scored 33 points after 23 league rounds. The position of deputy squad leader is almost as stable as Manchester United's top position, and a relegation spot has almost been booked in advance.

The state of Manchester United is terrible. Since losing 1:1 to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in January, the Red Devils have won 2 consecutive victories in all competitions!
并且,在1月31日的联赛第25轮比赛中,曼联才在主场4:0血洗了大黄蜂。

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to give people confidence in Watford.

After the opening of the first half, Watford's active pressing made it difficult for Manchester United to comfortably organize an effective attack in the first 5 minutes, but they did not expect the Red Devils to succeed with their first shot.

In the 7th minute of the game, Heinze passed the ball from the backcourt to Carrick in the middle of the midfield. The latter passed the ball to the left side of the frontcourt. Giggs and Yin Jun deliberately missed two consecutive points. After swaying to the inside and passing Mariappa's frontal defense, he shot with his right foot on the line of the penalty area and scored.

In the 26th minute, Demerit vigorously threw the ball out of bounds on the left side of the front field. Brown's header was not well placed. Tommy Smith unloaded the ball from the left chest of the penalty area and picked it to the other side. With an undercut shot, the ball hit Heinze, who stepped forward to block the ball, bounced off his hand slightly, rubbed against the lower edge of the lintel and flew into the net. Watford equalized the score.

However, the tie lasted only 2 minutes before being broken again by Manchester United.In the 28th minute, Yin Jun picked a pass from the right to Rooney. Rooney broke into the penalty area along the right wing and shot the goal, which was blocked by Richard Lee who was in front of the block. Ronaldo grabbed the right foot 4 meters ahead of Mariappa. Push and break the goal.

………………

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United seemed very passive under the attack of Watford.However, the Red Devils still relied on their strong control to withstand the opponent's offensive, and quickly dealt a fatal blow to the opponent.

In the 67th minute, Carrick found Rooney with a through ball from the midfield and was blocked. Yin Jun got the ball and passed it to the right side of the penalty area. Personal 5th goal in the FA Cup this season.

In the 82nd minute, Yin Jun went straight to the back, and Richardson, who came on as a substitute for Ronaldo, came in behind, and faced the attacking Richard Lee from 7 meters away, he shot an empty goal with his left foot and helped Manchester United seal the victory.

With the overall situation set, Yin Jun was replaced by Solskjaer.In the following games, Manchester United played a few shots more casually and did not rewrite the score.

………………

In the end, Manchester United beat Watford 4:1 at the "Blessed Land" Villa Park to reach the FA Cup final for the third time in four years, continuing their hopes for the Triple Crown.

As a result, the Red Devils surpassed Arsenal and became the team with the most appearances in the FA Cup finals with a record 18 times. Ferguson also maintained the impressive record of leading Manchester United to the FA Cup semi-finals 8 times. .

After another big victory, Ferguson is naturally in a good mood. He said in an interview: "You can see how high the morale of the boys is from the locker room during the season. Watford is a very aggressive team. team, maybe they'll ask you 'are you ready to put your head on the ball?' and we made it through the night."

But while happy, Manchester United was in a little trouble. Ferdinand had been in a considerable advantage in the aerial battle with Prishkin, but he was forced to leave the field due to an injury midway.

According to the latest news from Manchester United's official website, Ferdinand must miss the Premier League game with Sheffield United in two days.

The other semi-final is tomorrow at Old Trafford, between Blackburn and Chelsea.

The peak dialogue of the FA Cup final will be staged at the newly completed Wembley Stadium on May 5.The two sides against will be both Manchester United and Chelsea!
………………

On the evening of April 4th, Manchester United played against Sheffield United at home. This is the 17rd round of the Premier League.

In this game, Yin Jun, who had been playing continuously since the international break, was arranged by Ferguson to rest.In the end, at home, Manchester United relied on Carrick's goal in the 4th minute and Rooney's goal in the 50th minute to beat Sheffield United 2-0.

这么一场不太起眼的主场获胜,却是创造了一项恐怖的记录。那就是自从2005年9月17日的英超联赛第5轮,曼联在主场被阿森纳2:2逼平之后,再也没有任何一支球队能够从曼联的主场全身而退!

This time spanned 7 months and 212 days, and during this period, Manchester United won 21 consecutive home games!

而曼联上一次在主场输球,还是遥远的2003年10月25日,当时曼联在主场2:3惜败于富勒姆之手。

In more than three years since then, Manchester United has never lost in a full 105 home games!
Although Mourinho has created an even more terrifying unbeaten record at home in the league, but during this period, Stamford Bridge has not been broken!
However, Manchester United's home court has never lost in nearly 3 years and 4 months, whether it is at Old Trafford or after temporarily changing to Manchester City Stadium!
