I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

After playing the match against Everton, it is already October 18th, Beijing time. It is less than 75 hours before the third round of the Champions League group stage between Manchester United and Dynamo Kiev.

The Manchester United team returned to Manchester, rested for one night, and took a chartered flight to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, the next morning.

Returning to Dynamo Kiev after a lapse of half a year, Kiev has changed from the original spring to the current late autumn.

In Kiev in late October, the temperature is already very low. Especially at night, the temperature is approaching 0 degrees.

Manchester United felt a palpable chill when they arrived in Kiev.

Speaking of which, the latitude of Kiev is much lower than that of Manchester, but in Kiev, which is deep in the mainland, winter obviously comes much earlier than Manchester, which is close to the Atlantic Ocean.

Especially when the third round of the UEFA Champions League group match between Manchester United and Dynamo Kiev started, it was already 9:45 pm local time in Kiev, which was considered late at night, and the temperature was already very close to 0 degrees. Sleeve jersey. And the members of the coaching staff, including Ye Su, who were sitting on the sidelines on the bench, even had to wear thick down jackets.

This game is also a battle for the top position in the Group G standings. In the first two group matches, Manchester United won two consecutive victories and ranked first in the group, but Dynamo Kiev also achieved 1 win and 1 tie, temporarily ranking second in the group. Porto, which has 1 draw and 1 loss, temporarily ranks third in the group, and Maccabi Tel Aviv, which has lost two consecutive games, is the bottom of the group.

As long as Dynamo Kiev can beat Manchester United in this game, they will overtake Manchester United and climb to the top of the group standings.

For Manchester United, this game is also very critical. As long as they win Dynamo Kiev in the away game, Manchester United has basically locked the right to qualify for the group.

Therefore, in this game, Manchester United is at its best. Manchester United's main lineup, which got a better rotation last weekend, all made their debut in this game.

Goalkeeper De Gea, Kyle Walker, Maguire, Van Dijk and Luke Shaw formed a back four, Kanter and Carrick partnered as a double midfielder, De Bruyne served as a single midfielder, Vardy, Rooney Form a striker trident with Bruno Fernandez.

………………

After the start of the game, Manchester United turned away from the away game and suppressed the home team with strong strength.

In the 6th minute, Manchester United scored a threatening shot. Vardy dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area,

Facing a situation where the defense was not too strict, Vardy took a decisive shot, but the ball missed the target and missed the post slightly.

Three minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback. It was still Vardy's breakthrough with the ball on the left. Facing the Dynamo Kiev defender rushing towards him, Vardy suddenly cut in from the sideline.

When approaching the penalty area line, Vardy's right foot suddenly took an arc.

This time, Vardy chose a curved ball to shoot the far corner. The ball crossed a perfect rainbow-like arc, hit the inside of the far post, and bounced into the goal.

After Vardy scored the first Premier League goal of the season in the key battle against Arsenal, now when Manchester United is on an expedition to Ukraine, he opened the record for Manchester United and scored the first Champions League goal of his career. ball!

1:0, Manchester United scored the first away goal and took the lead.

This goal also boosted the morale of Manchester United, they continued to suppress the home team away.

In the 18th minute, Luke Shaw's breakthrough won a free kick from the left for Manchester United. Rooney took the ball, but no one in the penalty area touched the ball. Brushed his hair and flew over, and Bruno Fernandez, who was behind, threw his body out and wanted to take a shovel shot, but his legs were two or three centimeters shorter and he still missed the ball.

In the 20th minute, Carrick suddenly dribbled the ball forward, broke through all the way and kicked the goal, but unfortunately missed the post slightly.

………………

Dynamo Kyiv ushered in the first shot of the game in the 25th minute of the game.

Vida dribbled the ball from the left and passed it to Kravitz. Kravitz made a block, and Buyarski followed up with an angry shot, which hit the defensive player and reflected the bottom line.

Dynamo Kiev's shot was still very threatening, but Kanter's quick movement helped Manchester United resist Dynamo Kiev's killing move.

The ensuing game gradually entered a kind of tug-of-war. Both sides played some offensives, but neither of them had the chance to rewrite the score for the team.

After halftime, Manchester United temporarily led the home team Dynamo Kiev 1-0 with Vardy's goal.

………………

After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides returned to the court to compete.

Manchester United once again took the lead.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United won a free kick at the top of the penalty area. Rooney took the penalty and chose to hit the goal directly. The ball crossed a very beautiful arc, bypassed the tall wall of Dynamo Kiev, and then fell quickly. Rubbed the lower edge of the crossbar and got into Dynamo Kiev's goal.

This is Rooney's 5th goal scored in 3 UEFA Champions League group matches this season, tying his career scoring record in the UEFA Champions League in a single season!

This is the third direct free kick scored by Rooney this season. Throughout Europe, no one has scored more free kicks than Rooney during the same period.

At the same time, this is Rooney's seventh direct free kick scored after Yesu took office at Manchester United. He is also the player who scored the most direct free kicks in the same period in Europe.

I don’t know if it’s because Ye Su frequently used free kicks on Rooney before, letting him kick free kicks gave him confidence and experience. Anyway, even if Ye Su didn’t use free kicks on Rooney this season, the little fat man is now Free kicks still have a very high hit rate and goal rate.

………………

Rooney's direct free kick had an obvious impact on the players of Dynamo Kiev. They originally wanted to take advantage of the start of the second half, when their players were in good physical condition, to attack Manchester United's goal, hoping to score an equalizer or even reverse the game, but they didn't expect that before they had time to take action, their goal was declared lost again up.

This gave the Dynamo Kiev players the feeling that they couldn't beat Manchester United!

This feeling caused Dynamo Kiev to behave a little abnormally in the next few minutes. Manchester United took advantage of this opportunity to frequently threaten Dynamo Kiev's goals.

In the 52nd minute, Manchester United made a steal in the frontcourt. Vardy scored the ball to De Bruyne on the right side. De Bruyne took the ball and made a strong shot. Vkowski confiscated.

6 minutes later, Manchester United made a pass from the frontcourt. Bruno Fernandez took the ball from the right, and made an inverted triangle pass back to find De Bruyne. De Bruyne was unguarded. He stopped the ball and shot with his right foot. The defending Dynamo Kiev player fell to the ground and blocked it.

After defending Manchester United's two threatening attacks in a row, Dynamo Kiev finally gained a firm foothold, and played some threatening attacks amidst the cheers of the home fans.

Although the Lobanovsky Stadium, the home stadium of Dynamo Kiev, is a small stadium that can only accommodate less than 17,000 people, as a super giant in Ukraine, the home atmosphere created by the fans of Dynamo Kiev is still very good of.

In the 61st minute, Yarmolenko sent the ball to Gonzalez from the left side of the penalty area. Gonzalez stopped the ball and shot with his left foot. De Gea struggled to save the baseline.

Yarmolenko is the frontcourt core of Dynamo Kiev. This attacking player has recently attracted the attention of many European teams including Barcelona and Chelsea. There are many rumors on the Internet that these teams want to introduce him .

In this game, Yarmolenko also performed well, and he was regarded as the best player on the field of Dynamo Kiev. Dynamo Kiev's few attacks that threatened Manchester United's goal were mostly produced by Yarmolenko on the left.

After 1 minute, it was Yarmolenko's breakthrough on the left, which brought a left corner kick for Dynamo Kiev. Driving out to the penalty area, the first point was cleared by Manchester United players, Bujaski got the second point outside the penalty area, volleyed, and was blocked by De Gea.

………………

After 70 minutes of the game, Manchester United still maintained a two-goal lead.

Ye Su began to make substitutions and adjustments to save energy for the Manchester Derby on the weekend.

In the 74th minute, Ye Su replaced the starting striker Rooney with Kane. Subsequently, Martial and Mata also came off the bench successively.

However, both sides failed to create an absolute scoring opportunity after that, and the score of 2:0 was maintained until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

And Manchester United also led the Group G standings strongly with their three consecutive victories in the Champions League.

In the other game of this round of this group, Porto defeated the Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0. With the same record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss as Dynamo Kiev, with 1 net With the advantage of winning the goal, Dynamo Kiev overtook Dynamo to the second place in the group, and Dynamo Kiev ranked third in the group. And Maccabi Tel Aviv, who conceded 9 goals but failed to score 1 goal in a three-game losing streak, continued to be at the bottom of the group without any suspense.

The three-game winning streak gave Manchester United the hope of qualifying for the group stage ahead of schedule. As long as Manchester United can beat Dynamo Kyiv in back-to-back matches in the next round of the Champions League group stage at Old Trafford, then no matter what happens in the other group stage, Manchester United will advance two rounds Advance to the knockout round.

However, that is half a month later. The game that Manchester United needs to pay attention to most at present is the game against Blue Moon Manchester City at Old Trafford on the weekend.

As long as Manchester United can defeat their rivals in the same city at home, not only can they break Arsenal's 14-game winning streak in the Premier League that has been maintained for more than ten years, but they can also increase their home league winning streak to 19 games!

Of course, once Manchester United makes a mistake in this game, Ye Su's hope of breaking these two records will be shattered.
