A day later, at the Emirates Stadium, Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0. In this game, while Manchester City continued to chase Manchester United, it also basically announced that Arsenal had been eliminated from the competition for the Champions League seat.

Within a few days, Arsenal not only missed the League Cup title, but also lost to Manchester City in the Premier League again, which made it difficult for Gunners fans to accept emotionally.

At one time, they thought it was unacceptable to compete for the fourth in the league, and thought that "fighting for the fourth madman" was an insult to them. But now, they found that it was an extravagant hope for the team to compete for the fourth place.

The 60,000 Arsenal fans who were extremely disappointed shouted "Wengerout!" in unison at the Emirates Stadium.

Previously, although Arsenal fans chanted such slogans more than once, they were only a minority after all. But today, the cries of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans completely broke the heart of the professor.

At that moment, the 68-year-old gray-haired professor sitting on the coach's bench covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.

At 4 o'clock in the morning on March 6th, Beijing time, the final battle of the 29th round of the Premier League began. Manchester United was a guest in London to challenge Crystal Palace.

A day ago, Manchester City, who was sitting at the Etihad Stadium, beat Chelsea 1-0. The Blues, who suffered two consecutive losses, fell behind after Arsenal in the competition for the Champions League seats.

It is rumored that after this game, a fierce conflict broke out in the Chelsea team. The main players of the Blues, such as Hazard, have accumulated dissatisfaction with Conte to the extreme.

At the pre-match press conference on Monday afternoon, a reporter asked Ye Su questions about Arsenal fans asking Wenger to dismiss him.

Ye Su was silent for a long time, and then simply replied: "They will regret it!"

After saying this, Ye Su stopped answering any questions on this topic.

………………

Manchester United, who played in a rotating lineup, encountered a bitter battle at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace, which ranks fourth from the bottom in the standings, allowed Ye Su and Manchester United to see the combat effectiveness of the Premier League relegation team.

In the 11th minute, the Crystal Palace midfielder took the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area. Benteke received the ball to a point on the left side and knocked it across the line of the penalty area. Yas rebounds into the net!

Romero was also helpless with this ball, Manchester United trailed 0:1 away!

Although Manchester United launched several waves of offensives, but the players were not in the state.

Several attacks failed to score, and finally entered the intermission with a score of 0:1.

Ye Su went into a rage in the locker room, very dissatisfied with the players' performance in the first half. However, he did not make personnel adjustments.

Easy side to fight again. In the 49th minute, the Manchester United midfielder intercepted and fouled, and Crystal Palace quickly sent a free kick. Van Aanholt came over to the penalty area for offside, and scored from a small angle on the left!

2:0, this is even more difficult for Manchester United.

Under adversity, Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack!

In the 55th minute, Wan Bissaka made a diagonal pass from the right, and then Smalling headed into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area to tie the score to 1:2.

In the 76th minute, after Manchester United's continuous cooperation in the frontcourt, Rashford's strong shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked and then deflected and hit the crossbar. , to tie the score to 2:2.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Mbappe's volley from outside the penalty area on the right was blocked. Bruno Fernandez stopped the ball with his left foot and drew a world wave straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Manchester United completed a 3:2 reversal!

Manchester United, who scored 3 points, reached 79 points and continued to beat Manchester City by 4 points, leading the Premier League standings. The losing Crystal Palace unfortunately fell into the relegation zone of the Premier League.

………………

Returning to Manchester from London, after less than 5 days of rest, Manchester United once again ushered in a heavyweight game: in the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester United sits at Old Trafford, ushering in the second round of this season's Double Red Club!

This is a strong dialogue between the Premier League's top team and the third!

After two and a half seasons in charge of Liverpool, Klopp's team is finally on the right track and has become somewhat competitive in the Premier League.

This season, Liverpool has been ranked among the top four in the Premier League standings for a long time. At present, it has 17 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses, ranking third in the Premier League with 59 points.

It's just that the gap between the third place and the top two is too big. It is 20 points less than the top Manchester United and 16 points less than the second Manchester City!

For the Premier League championship, Klopp has long since given up, and he has shifted his attention to the Champions League.

However, facing a mortal enemy like Manchester United, even at Old Trafford, Klopp and Liverpool cannot surrender.

………………

The two double-red matches this season are played at 12:30 noon local time on Saturday in the UK, which is what the British call early games.

No one likes to play at noon, especially a team like Manchester United that has been fighting on multiple fronts and has been in a state of double matches for a long time, because the state is not easy to adjust.

To give the simplest example, everyone knows that on the day of a professional player’s game, everything, including eating, drinking, and sleeping, must have a certain time limit. The purpose is to ensure that the players can show their best during the game. state.

If the game is in the afternoon or evening, it's better, but if it's at noon, it's very troublesome.

According to the usual practice, the last tactical meeting is held before the game, and the meal time should be much earlier to ensure that during the game, the food is almost digested and the players are at the point that is most conducive to the game.

Therefore, to do so many things, players need to get up earlier than usual, and there is not enough guarantee for rest time.

This is just the part of player status adjustment, there are many, many other aspects.

All the work of a football club basically revolves around the game.

Does that mean there is no benefit to playing at noon? Nor is it. Because of the time difference, games at noon are often catered to fans in Asia.

I don't know if it's because Ye Su is the head coach of Manchester United. Anyway, after he took charge of Manchester United, the Red Devils played a lot more games at noon.

And this season's two double red games have been scheduled until noon.

………………

Although Manchester United have played many noon games, they still feel very uncomfortable. Of course, as an opponent, Liverpool is also not much better.

From the beginning of the game, the two sides played very fiercely. This is a consistent feature of the Double Red Club. The century-old feud between Liverpool and Manchester United is often resolved through games.

The players from both sides fought fiercely. From the very beginning, the game entered into a bloody hand-to-hand battle. Both sides played unreservedly and fought against each other. However, the players on both sides were not in good condition, and both sides missed a lot of opportunities. .

Manchester United is playing at home. Ye Su originally meant to control the midfield, but there was a problem. Liverpool knew Manchester United too well, so Ye Su dragged De Bruyne to the back, and Mata served as the single midfielder.

In this position, it is inevitable that Mata has more chances to get and play the ball. But the problem is precisely here. Mata's passing is indeed very good, and the effect is also very great, but the difference in confrontation is his weakness. Among Liverpool's three defensive midfielders Milner, Emre Can and Under Chamberlain's joint strangulation, there were too many unnecessary pass errors.

Firstly, Liverpool was in poor form, and secondly, they really couldn't compete in the midfield, but they specifically countered Manchester United's midfield pass and reception errors, creating several threatening offensives. On the contrary, Manchester United had the advantage, but was unable to create a threat. The midfield and organization were a bit chaotic.

In the first half, the only bright spot of Manchester United was Rooney's several personal breakthroughs and speed, but Klopp also obviously strengthened the restrictions on Rooney. lax.

In the end, the two sides played zero to zero in the first half. The game was more than tragic, but not exciting enough, and no one was able to score. But overall, Manchester United still has the advantage.

………………

During the intermission, Ye Su was obviously aware of this problem and immediately made adjustments. Bruno Fernandes replaced Mata.

This adjustment immediately activated Manchester United's frontcourt offensive.

Just one minute into the second half, Manchester United produced a very threatening offensive. Wayne Rooney made a pass from the right. The Senegalese central defender who came to Liverpool from Manchester United in the winter transfer window made a header to clear the siege, but Bruno Fernandez followed up and shot directly with his left foot. The ball barely touched the upper left corner and went out of the baseline , Let Liverpool break out in a cold sweat.

Just one minute later, De Bruyne sent a ball behind him. Rooney used his speed to forcibly shake off Robertson. After breaking through the bottom line, he made a low pass. Harry Kane scored with a low shot from eight meters in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Manchester United!

1:0!

This goal completely broke the deadlock on the field. Subsequently, Manchester United launched a wave of offensive against Liverpool.

The century-old feud has made everyone at Manchester United, including the more than 70,000 fans in the stands, almost crazy, and they all played passionately.

Manchester United, who played crazy, almost suppressed Liverpool in the half court.

Klopp quickly made a substitution, and Wijnaldum replaced Chamberlain to strengthen the midfield defense.

Manchester United replaced Vardy with Rashford to strengthen the impact on the wing.

The two sides came and went, kicking more and more fiercely, and gradually became hot-headed. First, when Valencia was grabbing the ball from Mane, he fouled a Liverpool player, causing the opponent to be forced off the field for treatment, and Valencia also received a yellow card.

Subsequently, Rooney got another chance for anti-offside and went straight behind the team. Robertson made a tactical foul, but only got a yellow card.

Then, Salah broke through Maguire with the ball, and both fell into the penalty area with Van Dijk. The referee did not give a penalty.

………………

The contest between you and me has caused the temperature of Old Trafford to rise sharply. The difference of one goal gave both sides hope. Liverpool wants to tie, or even reverse, to curb Manchester United's progress. However, there is indeed a gap between Naihe's strength and Manchester United, especially the midfielder is at a significant disadvantage, resulting in a passive situation.

The game became more and more tense, more and more tragic.

Until the 86th minute, Salah fouled Maguire and the referee whistled. But in this case, Emre Can didn't stop his feet, and punched De Bruyne who was holding the ball.

The referee showed no mercy, and sent Emre Can out of the pitch with a red card.

De Bruyne was not injured, but he was punched and a black foot was hit on his leg, which was a bit broken.

The smell of gunpowder in the game is so strong that it will explode at any time, either you die or I die!

This is definitely the worst game Manchester United have experienced so far this season.

The game restarted, and Manchester United continued to attack. Even though they have already led by one goal, facing their century-old enemy, the Red Devils are still not satisfied, and they still try their best to continue to expand the score.

Rooney is also very tired, but he is still looking for opportunities.

………………

Two minutes later, Manchester United had another chance on the left. After Rashford got the ball, he shook off Arnold and made a cross from the left.

In the middle in front of Liverpool's goal, Harry Kane attracted the attention of Lovren and Senegal's central defender, but the England center blocked the two Liverpool central defenders with his body while fighting, letting the ball go from his own The side leaked past.

In an instant, everyone was taken aback. But then, they noticed that behind Harry Kane, a figure in a red Manchester United jersey was rushing into the penalty area.

"Rooney! It's Rooney!!!"

The audience burst into cheers!

Rooney chased after him at an extremely fast speed, judging where the ball landed, kicked his legs hard, and flew forward with his whole body.

Dive to the top!

………………

At this moment, time seemed to slow down very slowly, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

The speed of Rooney's sprint just now was so fast that his leap seemed to become a glider, flying on the turf of Old Trafford.

Under the attention of more than 70,000 fans, he firmly hit the ball that Harry Kane deliberately missed.

The ball changed direction and crashed into the bottom right corner of Liverpool's goal. After Karius reacted, he didn't even have time to make a save, and the ball had already been scored!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Excellent dive to the top!"

"Rooney! The captain of Manchester United made the final decision!"

"This ball is too critical!"

"2:0! Liverpool didn't have any chances, Wayne Rooney killed the game!"

...

The on-site commentator at Old Trafford roared crazily, and all the fans in the stadium rushed out of their seats crazily, shouting crazily, calling Rooney's name crazily.

Rooney fell to the ground, patting the turf excitedly and laughing loudly.

Rooney is so happy to be able to help the team win with one shot and one pass in the match against rival Liverpool!

The fans in the audience also laughed loudly for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

Only Liverpool's players drooped their heads, looking extremely frustrated.

Klopp is also full of depression, because his players' performance today is really not ideal. Especially the Egyptian Salah, who he has high hopes for, basically failed to pose a threat on the right, and his state appeared to be very sluggish.
