I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 113: First defeat of the season

At 7:45 pm on December 9th, British local time, Manchester United ushered in a new game. Manchester United host Porto at Old Trafford in the sixth round of the Champions League group stage.

Ye Su continued to rotate the starting lineup according to the original plan.

However, in this game, Ye Su did not arrange for Kane to start in rotation, because Rooney's desire to fight is very strong, and the fat man wants to compete for the Champions League Golden Boot this season.

Although Rooney has scored 6 goals in the Champions League group stage this season, he was suspended due to injury in the last round, which caused him to be overtaken by Ronaldo in the Champions League scorer list.

In the last round of the Champions League group match, Real Madrid was a guest at Shakhtar Donetsk. Ronaldo scored twice to help Real Madrid beat the host 4:3 away. Ronaldo scored 7 goals.

In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Real Madrid beat Malmo 8-0 at home, and Ronaldo scored a full 4 goals.

In other words, before the start of the Manchester United game, Rooney has changed from being 1 goal ahead of Ronaldo to being 5 goals behind!

This situation makes Rooney very worried. If he misses another game, he really has no hope of catching up with Ronaldo.

Since Lu Xiaopang has a strong desire to play, and Ye Su sees that Rooney is in good condition through the savior system, he agrees to his request and continues to start the battle as the single arrow of the game.

However, in other positions, Ye Su did not send too many main players. The goalkeeper is Romero, the back line is Ashley Young, Koulibaly, Phil Jones, Smalling, Fellaini and Carrick partner midfielder, Lingard, De Bruyne Teaming up with Bruno Fernandes in the forward line.

………………

In this game, Rooney seemed very active, but he tried his best and still only scored 2 goals to help Manchester United beat Porto 2:0. The two assists were contributed by De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandez respectively.

After the end of the group stage, Manchester United won six consecutive victories and was the only team among the 32 teams in the eight groups to achieve a complete victory record. In addition, Rooney played 5 games during the group stage and scored 8 goals, which also created the Champions League scoring record in his career. Then there is Lewandowski in the third place. The number of goals scored by the Polish striker is 6 goals.

Manchester United's small triple crown last season, coupled with this season's outstanding performance in the Champions League group stage and the Premier League, has given Wayne Rooney, Manchester United's number one star, a huge increase in his worldwide reputation and influence. In the final three-man list of the FIFA Ballon d'Or announced last week,

Rooney finally got a spot.

In other words, in next year's FIFA Ballon d'Or selection, Rooney's worst ranking will also be third.

This is already the best selection result in Rooney's career. He has not entered the 23-man roster many times before, let alone the top three.

Before this year, Rooney was ranked fifth in the Ballon d'Or selection for leading Manchester United to the Champions League final in 2011, which was his previous best selection ranking.

This is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing for Rooney, who once overwhelmed Ronaldo and Messi in fame.

Now that he is over 30 years old, he finally has the opportunity to compete for awards with Messi and Ronaldo. Rooney is finally a little relieved.

………………

In another game in the same group, Dynamo Kiev beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-0, grabbed the second place in the group and entered the knockout stage. As for the Portuguese super giants Porto, they can only play in the Europa League.

So far, this season's Champions League group stage has also come to an end.

Although the Premier League teams did not perform very well in the initial stage of the group stage, the Premier League teams that drive low and go high have achieved an excellent record of all four teams advancing to the knockout round.

What is especially surprising is that Blue Moon Manchester City actually overwhelmed last season's Champions League runner-up and Serie A super giant Juventus, and strongly seized the first position in the group.

Arsenal, in the same group as Bayern Munich, ranked second in the group without much surprise, but they also advanced.

The Blues Chelsea, who struggled extremely in the Premier League, performed well in the Champions League and advanced to the Champions League knockout round as the first in the group.

All four teams have advanced, and all three teams have advanced to the top of the group. The Premier League is undoubtedly the best performing team in the five major leagues in the Champions League.

In addition, of the 12 teams that have been promoted, La Liga accounted for a maximum of 3 teams, Serie A and Bundesliga 2 teams, and Ligue 1 only left Paris Saint-Germain as the only seedling.

The last four promotion places were grabbed by the Portuguese Super League, the Ukrainian Super League, the Russian Super League and the Belgian First Division.

The draw for the UEFA Champions League knockout round will be held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon on December 14th, Beijing time, which is 7:00 pm next Monday. At that time, the 16 teams that have advanced to the knockout round will determine the situation in the quarter-finals in accordance with the corresponding rules.

………………

What Ye Su was worried about finally came.

At 1:30 on December 13th, Beijing time, and at 5:30 pm on December 12th, British local time, in the 16th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will be a guest at Dean Court Stadium.

Bournemouth is a newly promoted team, and their current ranking is not good. They only scored 13 points with Newcastle United and Norwich. Just relying on the advantage of goal difference, they overwhelmed Newcastle United and ranked 17th in the Premier League. relegation zone.

The state is in full swing, and Manchester United, who has maxed out an unknown number of records this season, against such a relegation team, as long as they are mentally healthy, they will not think that Manchester United cannot score three points.

However, at the end of a 90-minute fierce battle, the result was that the eyes of the ground were shocked: With the goal of the old Manchester United player Joshua King, Bournemouth beat Manchester United 2:1 at home!

In this game, Bournemouth scored early. Although Harry Kane scored an equalizer goal for Manchester United in the first half, Norwegian star Joshua King, who was born in the Manchester United youth academy, In the second half, he fought back and beat Manchester United. While scoring the key 3 points for Bournemouth, he also gave his old club their first defeat of the season.

And this defeat not only ended Manchester United's 20th consecutive victory in the Premier League, but also ended Manchester United's terrifying 35 consecutive victories in all competitions!

In addition, another record that Manchester United was terminated is their 15 consecutive victories in all competitions in away games!

After losing at Goodison Park in the 34th round of the Premier League last season, in the subsequent 15 away games, Manchester United did not make any mistakes and won a terrifying 15 consecutive victories. This record not only leaves Manchester United's original record of away wins far behind, even Chelsea's record of 11 wins in the away game of the English team is also thrown away.

With Manchester United's defeat, they also missed the chance to hit Nottingham Forest's historical record of 40 unbeaten games in all main matches, and even more missed the record of unbeaten championships in the season.

But despite this, the height achieved by this Manchester United team is also unattainable.

After all, the record of 20 consecutive victories in the Premier League and 35 consecutive victories in all competitions is really terrifying.
