Chapter 154 The key battle to compete for the championship

After defeating Tottenham, Manchester United's devilish schedule in April finally announced that it had passed. In 22 days, Manchester United played 7 games and achieved a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Not only did they defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League to advance to the semi-finals, but they also reversed Arsenal in the Premier League and stood in the advantageous position in the battle for the league championship.

After spending this super devil schedule, Manchester United finally won a full week of rest before the 37th round of the Premier League.

The 36th round of the Premier League between Manchester United and Tottenham was on the afternoon of April 27, while the 37th round of the Premier League between Manchester United and Tottenham was on the afternoon of May 3.

A week's rest gave Manchester United a relatively sufficient rest, so they were well prepared before ushering in the key battle for the championship.

……………………

At 7:30 pm on May 3rd, Beijing time, while domestic people were still enjoying the May Day holiday, fans were able to sit happily in front of computers or TVs to watch Manchester United games.

If Manchester United can win this game, they will temporarily lead Arsenal in the Premier League standings with 2 fewer rounds of Arsenal!

This means that once Arsenal makes any mistakes in the subsequent games, Manchester United will win the Premier League championship this season in advance!

Before the game started, Ferguson looked at the players who were ready to play in the locker room and shouted loudly: "Go the game! I have only one requirement! Go the game! Go, do it!"

As he said that, Ferguson opened the door of the locker room with great force, and the noise outside instantly poured in, and everyone's spirit was cheered up.

As the gold medal market in the world football world, the atmosphere in Old Trafford is very infectious. From the moment they entered the field, the fanatical fans sang team songs and shaking the team flag or scarf with rhythmic shaking, which caused waves from time to time. Anyone who is in it will be moved by this fanatical atmosphere.

In the Premier League, mid- and lower-level teams are not easy to play. Even a giant club like Manchester United faces a bus from mid- and lower-level teams, it is a headache. The skills of the mid- and lower-level teams may not be as good as those of the strong teams, but with the body, just fierce confrontation, life-long fighting, and the hard defense of the whole team can make the strong team very troubled.

However, if Manchester United can quickly open the situation, the game will be much easier. If the court is in a deadlock or even be counterattacked by the opponent, the game will become very difficult.

"We must open up the situation as soon as possible." This is what Ferguson told his players.

……………………

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Manchester United played a beautiful offensive cooperation.

Keane and Scholes joined forces to intercept the ball, and then Yin Jun quickly took the ball to find Beckham. Beckham had a good vision and thought about what to do when he received the ball. He kicked a diagonal ball and directly tore off Charlton's defense.

Manchester United's offensive speed is very fast, and this sharp attack makes Charlton uncomfortable.

When Yin Jun and Beckham passed the ball continuously and finally cut inward into the penalty area horizontally, Charlton's defense line had completely collapsed.

The final thing was simple. Yin Jun passed the ball to the penalty area, and Fanny made a ball to bend in the penalty area. The latter volleyed with his left foot in the penalty area. The ball hit Powell's foot and was blocked by the scoop on the foot of the ball, which turned into a line and hanged into the left side of the goal. Charlton goalkeeper Kiley watched the ball into the net.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful goal! Manchester United leads 1:0, this is not the point." Leinker said, "The point is that this ball is very beautiful. Manchester United's counterattack speed is very fast. The entire goal process is almost a one-foot pass. Charlton's defense line was torn open with a few passes. Charlton seemed to have no choice in the face of such an attack."

John Motterson also praised the goal: "Charlton's players were like being hit by a stick in the head, dizzy and didn't know how to defend. They could only passively follow, but the final result was - conceding the ball."

Ferguson applauded on the sidelines and cheered for the team's goals.

He was very satisfied with the goal so early.

As long as you seize the opportunity and score another goal, Charlton's determination to resist will be greatly reduced.

……………………

Even though Ferguson was confident in his team's strength, he did not expect the team's second goal to come so quickly.

Ten minutes later, Yin Jun's frontcourt breakthrough caused the opponent to foul, and Manchester United got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Because this free kick is far away from the goal, it is unlikely to score a goal directly, so you must play tactical cooperation.

Yin Jun took the penalty kick and opened into the penalty area. Fanny's header caused Charlton goalkeeper Keelli to save the ball. Charlton defender hurriedly cleared the ball. Sylvester competed for the ball on the right side of the penalty area. Van Nistrui retreated to compete for the point and volleyed into the net with his right foot 6 yards in front of the edge of the small penalty area.

2:0!

The Dutch scored 9 consecutive games, tying the club's historical record.

“GOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!”

"2:0! Van Nistruy, the Dutchman scored the 22nd goal in the individual league. He now tied Henry in the scorer list and tied for the second place in the scorer list, second only to Beatty who scored 23 goals." John Motterson shouted, "Manchester United's goal has come again. Facing Manchester United, Charlton has almost no power to fight back!"

Van Nistrui and his teammates celebrated excitedly. The league has not yet ended, and he still hopes to compete for the Premier League Golden Boot this season. Today's game scored early, which is undoubtedly the best news.

As the Red Devils, who likes to create tragedies in the Premier League in the Premier League, Manchester United, who was leading two goals, did not stop, but instead set off an offensive frenzy.

At the 39th minute of the game, Yin Jun assisted Fanny to score a goal, and the score was rewritten to 3:0.

Before the end of the first half, Yin Jun cut inside from the right and scored a shot from the far corner, scoring his 17th league goal of the season, and also helped Manchester United expand the score to 4:0.

Manchester United took a 4-0 lead in the first half.

This made commentators Leinker and John Mortson sighed repeatedly that the suspense of this game no longer exists.

"Manchester United completely destroyed Charlton with a devastating attack." Sky Sports's Ringer said.

BBC's John Motson said: "The team created by Ferguson includes young people like Yin Jun, O'Shea, Fletcher, as well as stars like Van Nystrue, Ferdinand, Sylvester, and Roy Keane, Giggs and Scholes. Manchester United's age structure is very reasonable and has very strong strength. It is not surprising that they can reverse Arsenal."
