Chapter 863: The Real Devil's Home

When Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool competed in the Champions League quarter-finals, the 33rd round of the Premier League started. Therefore, this round of the league, including Manchester United, has been postponed.

The 34th round of the Premier League was held on the weekend, but Manchester United will play in the FA Cup semi-finals, which has delayed Manchester United's league 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 be 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 are Sheffield United and West Ham United, it is difficult for them 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 score is 77 points.

As long as Manchester United beats Chelsea away, the Red Devils will have as much as 90 points, leading Chelsea by 13 points.

With only 4 rounds left in the league, Manchester United will directly win the league championship trophy at Stamford Bridge!

However, the change in the schedule has killed this possibility.

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

……………………

At 17:30 local time on April 14, the focus battle started at Villa Park Stadium, with the Red Devils Manchester United facing Watford.

In the 67th minute, Carrick passed the ball directly in the midfield and found Rooney to be blocked. Yin Jun got the ball and passed it to the front of the goal on the right side of the penalty area. Rooney easily pushed the ball from 5 meters to score twice, scoring his fifth goal in the FA Cup this season.

With the overall situation determined, Yin Jun was replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. In the subsequent games, Manchester United's several shots were relatively casual and the score was not rewritten.

The peak dialogue in the FA Cup final will be staged on May 19, the newly completed Wembley Stadium. The two sides against each other may be Manchester United and Chelsea!

In the 26th minute, Demerit threw a strong ball from the left side of the frontcourt. Brown headed the ball to the bottom of the ball. Tommy Smith removed the ball from the left side of the penalty area and picked it to the other side. Buahza shot with his left foot from 9 meters. The ball hit Heinzer, who was blocking the front, bounced up his hand and flew into the net slightly, and Watford equalized the score.

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

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

……………………

The Red Devils have surpassed Arsenal, becoming the team with the most appearances in the FA Cup finals with a record 18 times. Ferguson also maintained an impressive record of leading Manchester United to the FA Cup semi-finals in 8 times.

According to the latest news on Manchester United's official website, Ferdinand must have missed the Premier League match with Sheriffin two days later.

In the 7th minute of the game, Heinze passed the ball to Carrick in the middle of the midfield, who passed the ball directly to the left side of the frontcourt. Giggs and Yin Jun deliberately missed two consecutive points. Rooney inserted the ball and led it to the inside and then shook Mariap's front defense, and then shot hard on the penalty area line.

After the opening of the first half, Watford's active pressing made it difficult for Manchester United to organize effective attacks comfortably in the first 5 minutes, but Wucheng wanted the Red Devils to succeed in the first shot.

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

After another big victory, Ferguson was in a good mood. In an interview, he said: "You can see how high the lads' morale are. Watford is a very aggressive team. Maybe they will ask you, "Are you ready to put your head on the ball?" and we managed to spend the night."

In the end, Manchester United defeated Watford 4-1 in "Blessed Land" Villa Park and entered the FA Cup final for the third time in four years, continuing the hope of three championships.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United seemed very passive under Watford's attack. However, the Red Devils still withstood the opponent's offensive with strong control and quickly gave the opponent a fatal blow.

Manchester United's condition is terrible. Since losing to Arsenal 1:2 at the Emirates Stadium in January, the Red Devils have won 15 consecutive victories in various competitions!

Moreover, in the 25th round of the league on January 31, Manchester United beat the Hornets 4:0 at home.

……………………

However, in addition to being happy, Manchester United was in a little trouble. Ferdinand had been in a considerable advantage in the air competition with Prischkin, but his injury in the middle forced him to leave the field.

In such a situation, it is difficult to create confidence in Watford.

In the 82nd minute, Yin Jun made a pass behind him, and Richardson, who was substituting Cristiano Ronaldo, intervened and shot the empty goal with his left foot from 7 meters against Richard Lee, who was attacking, to help Manchester United secure the victory.

However, the tie was only 2 minutes long before being broken by Manchester United again. In the 28th minute, Yin Jun made a pass from Rooney from the right. Rooney broke into the penalty area along the right wing and shot was blocked by Richard Lee at the front point and bounced to the goal. Ronaldo pushed the ball with his right foot 4 meters before Mariapa.

On the evening of April 17, Manchester United faced Sheffield United at home, which was the 33rd round of the Premier League.

Another semi-final will be played tomorrow at Old Trafford Stadium, against Blackburn and Chelsea.

In this game, Yin Jun, who had played continuously since the international matches, was arranged for a rest by Ferguson. Finally, at home, Manchester United defeated Sheffield United 2:0 with Carrick's goal in the 4th minute and Rooney's goal in the 50th minute.

Such an inconspicuous home victory has set a terrifying record. That is, since the fifth round of the Premier League on September 17, 2005, Manchester United was tied 2:2 by Arsenal at home, no team has been able to escape from Manchester United's home court!

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

The last time Manchester United lost at home was on October 25, 2003, when Manchester United lost 2:3 at home.

In the more than three years since then, Manchester United has never lost 105 home games!

Although Mourinho set a more terrifying unbeaten record at home in the league, Stamford Bridge has not been broken during this period!
Chapter completed!
