I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

When the outside world is overwhelmingly hyping him again, Rooney is the most rational.

Under the arrangement of the club, Rooney accepted an interview with a reporter from the "Manchester Evening News".

Rooney said in an interview that he didn't think about things that are too far away. What he cares most about right now is the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League semi-finals.

"To reach the last four of the Champions League is exciting for all of us. For us, it is the best reward, there is nothing like it."

"The Champions League is definitely one of the most competitive competitions on the planet. To be able to return to the Champions League after a lapse of one year and break into the semi-finals is definitely a dreamlike thing."

"Of course we hope to go further in the Champions League, but everything is full of uncertainties. When it comes to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, there are no so-called underdogs."

"I am also looking forward to meeting Chris (C Ronaldo) and Real Madrid in the final, but we all have to be cautious about the opponents in the semi-finals. Atletico Madrid can eliminate Barcelona. It is undoubtedly a respectable opponent. If we therefore Underestimating the enemy, they are fully capable of eliminating us like other opponents!"

Regarding the competition for the Champions League Golden Boot with Ronaldo, Rooney said that it is not the most important thing for him, because the team's ability to win is the most important thing.

Rooney said: "If I say that I don't care about competing with Chris (C Ronaldo) at all, it must be hypocritical. To be honest, two seasons ago, I couldn't imagine that I would be able to reunite with him one day. Chris competes for an honor together and it's also the Champions League Golden Boot. But for me, it's not number one, as a professional footballer, in my mind, it's always about helping The team wins."

………………

Rooney's words are not empty words, but have been doing this all the time.

In Ferguson's Manchester United, Rooney has assisted Ronaldo, Van Persie and others for the benefit of the team. After arriving under Ye Su, after he won the Premier League Golden Boot last season, he has the idea of ​​continuing to hit the Premier League Golden Boot this season, but for the benefit of the team, he gave up many opportunities to play in the Premier League , in order to have more energy for the Champions League.

This led to a sharp drop in his number of goals in the Premier League this season. After 33 league rounds, he played only 20 times, scoring 15 goals and assisting 7 times. Currently behind Aguero, Lukaku and Mahrez, only ranked fourth in the Premier League scorer list. And with his game state and scoring rate, if there is more playing time, it will be difficult for these people to compete with him.

In fact,

Most of the Manchester United players have a good sense of team, which is also an important reason why Ye Su can adopt a comprehensive rotation in the team.

This season, Manchester United has the strongest offensive firepower in the Premier League, scoring 79 goals in 32 Premier League games, 19 more goals than Tottenham, who scored the second most.

However, due to the relatively scattered firepower, Manchester United players are very average in the Premier League scorer list. The highest-ranked Rooney is only ranked 4th. Behind him are Harry Kane with 14 goals and Martial with 11 goals. Vardy and Mata both scored nine goals, Rashford added seven...

Compared with the cautiousness of the Champions League, Rooney has shown his determination to win the Premier League and the FA Cup.

"There is no doubt that we have led the season in the Premier League and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. If we hand over two titles to our competitors in the end, it will definitely be a failure!"

"I believe that no one in our team would want to see such a thing happen, so we will do our best every game."

………………

Rooney is right, no one in this Manchester United team wants to let the Premier League title and FA Cup title fall into the hands of others. So when United came off the bench to take on Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, everyone was in high spirits.

This is a match between the top team and the vice squad leader.

At present, the Premier League has completed 33 league rounds. With Manchester United playing one game less, the Blue Fox Leicester City, which is second in the standings, is as high as 11 points. The lead is huge, and there is a possibility of winning the 15th Premier League championship in team history at any time .

Unlike Manchester United's strength in the league, Aston Villa, a traditional Premier League powerhouse team, has not performed well this season and has long been at the bottom of the Premier League standings. In the last round, Villa lost 1:2 at home to Bournemouth. They suffered a losing streak in the last 8 rounds. They are currently ranked bottom with only 16 points, 15 points away from Norwich, which is fourth from the bottom. Aston Villa must beat Manchester United in this round, and Norwich lose at the same time, so that the theoretical hope of relegation can continue, otherwise this veteran team will be relegated 4 rounds in advance.

Because it was a life-and-death confrontation with Bayern in the quarter-finals of the Champions League three days ago, Ye Su almost sent all the substitutes to play in this game. Goalkeeper Romero, Ashley Young, Koulibaly, Smalling and Valencia in defense, Fellaini and Schweinsteiger in midfield, Lingard, Mata and Rashford Germany, together with Harry Kane, who is protruding forward with a single arrow, forms Manchester United's frontcourt attacking quartet.

………………

At the beginning of the game, in the opening 5 minutes, the offensive rhythm of both sides was slow, and neither had a good offensive opportunity.

However, after the opening test, Manchester United, who were playing at home, took the lead, launching a tidal wave of attacks towards Villa's goal and continuously threatening Villa's goal.

In the 7th minute, Rashford made a pass from the right side of the penalty area, trying to find Harry Kane in the penalty area, but Villa's defensive player in the middle took the lead and destroyed the ball out of the bottom line.

One minute later, Manchester United got a free kick in the frontcourt, Mata took it, and Van Dijk got the spot in the penalty area, but it was slightly higher than the goal.

In the 14th minute, Manchester United made a long pass into the penalty area, but Villa defender Hutton took the ball out of the baseline before Harry Kane.

In the 16th minute, Manchester United took a corner kick, and Fellaini's header from the center missed the goal.

In the 20th minute, Rashford broke through with the ball on the left, and then sent the ball low to the front of the penalty area. Harry Kane hit the goal with his heel and was cleared out of the baseline.

Two minutes later, Rashford, who switched to the right, passed the ball into the penalty area again. Mata got in time and got rid of the defense and hit the goal. Unfortunately, he failed to hold down the ball and sent the ball flying.

In the 27th minute, Mata sent the ball from the right to the penalty area, and no one could compete for the top after the point.

...

In the first half an hour, Manchester United created many good scoring opportunities, but because the players failed to grasp the opportunities, they missed the chance to rewrite the score.

Under the strong suppression of Manchester United, Villa played very passively on the court. In the first half hour, they only got one chance to shoot, but they failed to hit the target and failed to pose any threat to Manchester United.

Under Manchester United's continuous suppression, Villa's goal was finally broken by Manchester United in the 32nd minute of the game.

At that time, Villa chose to foul after conceding a goal in offense, preventing Manchester United from making a quick counterattack in the first place.

Manchester United took a free kick in the backcourt, Mata made a long pass from the backcourt to find Valencia on the right, Valencia passed to the penalty area, Rashford followed up with a light push and scored.

Manchester United lead Villa 1:0!

After halftime, Manchester United led Villa by 1 goal at home. Easy side to fight again, Manchester United quickly scored the second goal of the game.

In the 54th minute, Rashford dribbled the ball from the left to the center and passed it to Harry Kane. Harry Kane got the ball in the small penalty area and turned to hit the goal. Faced with this close shot, Villa goalkeeper Guzan had nothing to do.

Manchester United lead Villa 2:0!

The Villars know that this game is completely useless, and relegation is an inevitable result. At this time, they no longer have the hope of relegation, just fighting for the final dignity.

On the contrary, it made the Villa players let go of the burden in their hearts and played a threat in the game.

In the 61st minute, the Villa team had a chance to counterattack. Villa passed the ball from the left to the penalty area. De Gea did not get the ball. Manchester United cleared the ball in the chaos.

In the 83rd minute, Villa got a corner kick and the corner kick was sent to the middle. Gersted pushed and hit the post, and the goal frame of Old Trafford helped Manchester United.

Villa continued to get corner kicks, the corner kick was driven into the penalty area, and the header was pressed by De Gea.

United scored another goal in full-time stoppage time. In the 91st minute, Mata sent a through pass to the ribs from the frontcourt. Harry Kane followed up and pushed the ball. Hit the inside of the post and flew into the net.

Harry Kane scored twice, his 16th Premier League goal of the season, overtaking team-mate Rooney in the Premier League goalscoring chart, tying Riyad Mahrez and Lukaku, and due to a lack of penalties advantage, ranked second in the Premier League scorer list.

However, there is still a big gap between Kane and Aguero, who is at the top of the list, in the number of goals.

In the end, Manchester United beat Villa 3-0 at home.

Aston Villa's defeat in this game also made them unfortunately the first team to be relegated from the Premier League this season. Aston Villa currently ranks 20th in the Premier League, with only 16 points after 34 rounds. 15 points away from Norwich, who is 17th, and there are still 4 rounds left in the league.

There is no need to repeat the glorious history of Aston Villa, 7 top league titles, 10 league runner-ups, 7 FA Cup titles, and defeated the Federal German team Bayern 1-0 in the 1982 European Champions Cup final Munich even brought Victoria to the pinnacle of history. Although they were relegated to the second-tier league in 1987, they returned to the top league a year later. Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, they have not been relegated.

With the relegation of Villa, the teams that have never been relegated since the establishment of the Premier League have been reduced to 6 again: Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton!

A day later, Manchester United, which is preparing for the game against the Hammers in the middle of next week, received good news: The Hammers drew Leicester City 2:2 at the King Power Stadium, which allowed Leicester City to score points after 34 rounds Only 72 points, 13 points behind Manchester United.

With only 4 rounds left in the Premier League, it is impossible for Leicester City to catch up with Manchester United. This does not even need to consider the results of the 27th round of the Premier League supplementary match between Manchester United and Arsenal.

Manchester United won the championship again unexpectedly!
