I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 204 Mr. Golden Ball Lu Xiaopang

Not long after Manchester United defeated Arsenal, good news came from the English Channel. Southampton drew a goalless draw with Liverpool at home. The Red Army only scored 1 point at St. Mary's Stadium. As a result, the Red Army only scored 26 points after the 12th round of the Premier League, and the points gap with Manchester United reached 8 points!

Although Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City won the game on the second day, the Blues only had 25 points, and Manchester City and Tottenham had 24 points, the same as Arsenal.

As a result, in the Premier League standings, Manchester United led the standings alone with 34 points, 8 points ahead of the second-placed Red Army Liverpool. The five teams of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham formed a huge second group, and the points difference between the five teams was only 2 points.

The teams behind the second group also have a big gap with the previous points. Toffee Everton, ranked seventh, only scored 19 points.

The Premier League is far ahead, and in the Champions League, Manchester United is also doing well. On the evening of November 22 local time, Manchester United played against Club Brugge at Old Trafford. This is the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Manchester United, which had won four consecutive victories, has already qualified two rounds ahead of schedule, but has not yet been able to secure the first place in the group.

In this game, Rooney and Vardy, who were rested in the Premier League last weekend, and Harry Kane, who came off the bench, led Manchester United's attack line. The midfield is a combination of Mata, Bruno Fernandez and Kante.

Amid the cheers of more than 70,000 fans at Old Trafford, Manchester United took a 2-0 lead in the first half, with Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney each contributing.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Bruno pulled one back, which was Manchester United's first goal conceded in this season's Champions League group stage.

But when Manchester United reached the 71st minute of the game, Rooney scored the second goal of the game, rewriting the score to 3:1, and thus sealing the victory.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Club Brugge 3:1, and the five-game winning streak completely secured the first place in the group.

At the same time, another group match of this group ended, and Copenhagen drew 0:0 with Porto at home.

In this way, Porto continued to rank second in the group with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss with 8 points, while Copenhagen ranked third with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses with 5 points. Both teams still have hopes of advancing to the knockout stages.

………………

After securing the first place in the Champions League group, Manchester United can completely withdraw from the Champions League.

In the next game, Manchester United ushered in a back-to-back schedule with the Hammers West Ham United at Old Trafford.

At 0:30 am on November 28th, Beijing time, Manchester United faced West Ham United in the 13th round of the Premier League; and only three days later, at 4 am on December 1st, Manchester United once again ushered in the challenge of West Ham United. It's the League Cup quarter-finals.

As a result, West Ham United, which has been staying in Manchester, was tragically played twice by Manchester United with two lineups.

The first is the 13th round of the Premier League. Ye Su used the lineup he played against Arsenal a week ago to defeat the Hammers 3:1 at Old Trafford. In the League Cup quarter-finals in the middle of the week, Ye Su continued to use the lineup against Bruges in the middle of last week and defeated the Hammers 4:1 again.

In this wave of four consecutive home games, Manchester United have achieved big victories, 4:1, 3:1, 3:1 and 4:1 respectively!

After advancing to the semi-finals of the League Cup, on the first day of December, Manchester United received good news again: Rooney was selected for this year's World Footballer's final three-man squad!

This is the second consecutive year that Lu Xiaopang has been shortlisted for this list, but this year is different from last year. Last year, this list was also called the FIFA Ballon d'Or. Now it has been called back to the previous name: World Footballer!

Another difference is that Rooney last year, because Manchester United failed to participate in the Champions League the previous season, although he won the Europa League, Rooney's call for winning the championship was not high, and he was obviously at a disadvantage in the competition with Melo. A year later, with the new UEFA Champions League scorer Wang Zhiwei, coupled with the unprecedented UEFA Champions League + domestic triple crown honor, Rooney's call for winning the championship is unprecedentedly high, not inferior to the new UEFA European Cup winner Cristiano Ronaldo, and even faintly ahead trend.

But the final result will have to be announced in January next year.

But the new European Ballon d'Or will soon be announced.

………………

On the first weekend of December, the 14th round of the Premier League continued. The first stage was a strong dialogue. Guardiola led Manchester City to sit at the Etihad Stadium against Conte's Chelsea.

For this game, the media is still inclined to Manchester City to win at home, but the result was a shock, because in this game, all four goals were scored by Chelsea. The Etihad Stadium defeated Pep Guardiola's Blue Moon 3:1.

As for why Chelsea scored four, but the final score was not 4:0, it was because the Blues were too polite. Their captain Cahill helped Blue Moon break his own goal at the last minute of the first half. Then in the second half, Chelsea began to shine, with three goals from Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard to beat Manchester City.

Tottenham and Arsenal, who played immediately after, both won most of the victories. Mauricio Pochettino's side beat Swansea 5-0 at White Hart Lane, while Arsene Wenger beat the Hammers 5-1 in a London derby.

On the contrary, Uncle Scum's Liverpool, in the game as a guest at Bournemouth, experienced a goal battle and lost 3:4.

Manchester United's opponent in this game is Toffee Everton.

At Goodison Park, Rooney, who won the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year two personal honors, did not give his old club any face at all, staged a hat-trick, and at the same time assisted Ibrahimovic with a goal to help Manchester United 4:1 defeated Everton.

However, the Everton fans did not speak ill of Lu Xiaopang. Instead, when Rooney was substituted in the 75th minute, they gave the pride of their youth training the warmest applause.

Originally, Manchester United hoped to achieve zero seals in this game. However, at the end of the 90 minutes of regular time, another Manchester United player with an Everton background made a mistake. Fellaini sent a handball in the penalty area, and Baines scored a penalty to help the home team score a face-saving goal. goal.

………………

Just after Manchester United finished the game against Everton and hadn't returned to Manchester by car, Rooney received a call from "French Football", asking him to go to Paris to shoot the cover of the next issue of "French Football" magazine .

The news is already obvious, that is Rooney won this year's European Ballon d'Or is a certainty.

The entire Manchester United team congratulated Rooney, and Rooney was crying at that moment, tears of joy.

As soon as he wiped away his tears, Rooney hugged Ye Su. He knew very well that if it hadn't been for Ye Su's arrival, he might not have been shortlisted for the three-man shortlist for the Golden Globe Awards in his entire life, let alone win the trophy in the end.

It was Ye Su's arrival, and he rejuvenated his career like a phoenix nirvana, and it was an incomparably brilliant second spring.

Ye Su also congratulated Rooney and encouraged him to move on, because Rooney is still far behind Messi, who has won five awards, and Ronaldo, who has won three awards.

After the team returned to Manchester, Rooney left the team as soon as possible, and took his own private jet to France to participate in the next day, Monday's filming activities.

While Rooney was nervous and happy shooting the cover of "French Football" magazine in Paris, Ye Su led a substitute team to Portugal to play the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage with Porto.

As for Manchester United's main lineup, Ye Su asked them to stay in the UK to prepare for the 15th round of the Premier League with Tottenham on the weekend.

At the Dragon Stadium, Manchester United, who played all on the bench, suffered their first defeat in the Champions League this season. Facing the Portuguese giants who were red-eyed to advance to the knockout round of the Champions League, Manchester United finally lost 1:2. Come on.

So far, Manchester United's unbeaten run of 9 games in the Champions League and a round of 7 consecutive victories have been terminated.

The last time Manchester United lost in the Champions League was at the Allianz Arena in the quarter-finals last season and lost to Bayern. The last draw was in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season when they were away at Madrid and were defeated by Atletico Madrid 1:1. The score was tied.

This is also Manchester United's first defeat in all competitions this season. They have thus ended their 24 unbeaten games in all competitions this season and their 16-game winning streak in all competitions.

In terms of cross-season, Manchester United's unbeaten in all competitions is 27 games and 19 consecutive victories!

After defeating Manchester United, Porto was also able to advance to the Champions League knockout round as second in the group.

So far, the top sixteen of this season's Champions League have all been born. The four teams from the Premier League to compete in the Champions League, except for Tottenham who fell into the Europa League third in the group, Manchester United, Arsenal and Leicester City have all successfully advanced.

The draw for the Champions League knockout round will be on Sunday, the night of December 12. Prior to this, Manchester United also had a strong Premier League dialogue with Tottenham.

………………

When the Manchester United team returned to Manchester from Portugal, Rooney had already returned to Manchester first. Unsurprisingly, he brought back the European Golden Globe trophy.

Originally, the Ballon d'Or would not be announced until next Monday, but because Manchester United had already flown to Japan in the Far East to participate in the Club World Cup, the "French Football" magazine awarded Rooney the award first. However, for the sake of confidentiality, Rooney can't take the lead in announcing his award.

I don't know if it was because he was too excited after winning the award, which caused Rooney's spirit to be in a high state of excitement these days. Then Ye Su found out on the first day of the game that Rooney was not in good condition, so he did not win the game against Tottenham. He was not arranged to enter the big list, and he was directly given a rotation.

In the end, the score of this game was 1:0, and Manchester United won. It was midfielder De Bruyne who scored for Manchester United.

In the 29th minute, the Tottenham midfield pass error was intercepted by Kanter, Kanter made a straight pass, De Bruyne stepped in to form a single goal, and scored with his right foot from 12 yards from the right rib. Manchester United led 1:0.

It was also the only goal of the game.
