Chapter 542: Crossing Newcastle, Ten Consecutive Victories!

"Leapfrog Newcastle and win 10 in a row!" Ahead of the match against Newcastle United, the Manchester Evening News waved its flag for Manchester United, saying, "The only one who can stop Manchester United is himself." ”

The spiritual leader Shearer has retired, the main goalkeeper Givens has also been injured, and Ferguson does not dare to be careless about Newcastle United, which has softened a lot, because this team also has a very strong midfielder, Milner became famous at a young age, Bart is an old man from Manchester United, Parker has just entered the national team, Emre is a person from Inter, not to mention Duff, such a midfielder just looks at the fame and makes people cautious.

After playing Newcastle United, most of Manchester United's players have to report to the national team to play one or two games, and Ferguson naturally has a lot to consider.

Proper rotation with a guaranteed victory was the best option for Ferguson.

So, Ferguson has put out a lineup that has been relatively unfamiliar recently. When the starting line-up was announced, it really scared the media and Manchester United fans a lot.

Goalkeeper: Kutsak

Defenders: Brown, Silvestre, Pique, Richardson

Midfielders: Fletcher, Luka Modric, Smith

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ryan Giggs

That's right, all the starting players in the previous Champions Cup, except for Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo, everyone else was rested, and most of them were on the bench.

"Can this squad really take Newcastle? Is it true that the lord is not playing with fire? ”

When they saw the starting lineup, the fans were really stunned.

'Is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer really okay? At the age of 33, he played as a starting center forward. ”

"Silvesit's playing as the main centre-back, why do I feel so hanging?"

'Is this giving Chelsea a chance?'

Newcastle's last win at Old Trafford was back in February 1972. Manchester United has won Newcastle in the last 5 games in a row, and is unbeaten in the last 10 games with 9 wins and 1 draw. The two sides have met 26 times in the Premier League, with Manchester United having the upper hand with 15 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses, including 8 wins and 5 draws at home. The two sides have met 136 league games in history, with Manchester United holding the upper hand with 65 wins, 33 draws and 38 defeats. Former Manchester United midfielder Butt replaces Martins in the starting line-up against his former club.

Lineker also expressed concern.

"The lord is playing high again, Dong is on the bench, and he has chosen to trust Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Actually, he could have tried to use Rooney, but he played extremely. ”

"Although the history of the battle with Newcastle is very glorious, Newcastle this season is not weak, Parker, Emre, Bart, Milner, Duff...... It's a little scary to think about the name. Luckily Owen is injured, otherwise I wouldn't dare imagine that Sylvester and young Pique would be able to watch it? ”

"But the lord didn't rotate Modric, and Ronaldo didn't go down, Manchester United can't do without this dribbling maniac."

Beep

The game begins.

Manchester United were quick to dispel any suspicions, and although the main squad did not play, United controlled the game.

Pique opened the scoring with a long ball and Luka Modric had a chance to get forward, but his cross from the right side of the box was blocked by Craig Moore in time.

In the 10th minute, Modric played a long pass from the back, Taylor missed the ball and almost made Rossi seize the opportunity, but Harper stepped in time to take the ball away from Giggs's head. At this time, Giggs was really a little annoyed that his height was not enough......

The two sides fought fiercely, and although United dominated 72.1 per cent of the possession at home, neither side struggled to make a difference in attack.

"Dong is not here, the burden of scoring goals falls on the veteran Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but can he do it?"

But it wasn't long before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer responded.

In the 15th minute, Harper rushed out of the box in time to clear before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. United almost took the lead in the 16th minute when Ryan Giggs whipped in a corner from the left and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's header from eight yards was brilliantly tipped over the crossbar by Harper.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came close to changing the score twice in a row before Cristiano Ronaldo began to ravage Newcastle down the right, with no one able to resist his breakthrough. Manchester United have not yet scored, but the Red Devils' forward passes are as high as 73.1%, an increase of 1 percentage point from before!

"Could it be that after playing Barcelona, Manchester United has changed qualitatively? It's unimaginable that the substitutes are playing so hard! ”

United missed another chance in the 26th minute when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs continued to run and Fletcher fired a powerful right-footed shot from 20 yards down the centre that bounced off the left-hand post.

Newcastle's first shot came in the 27th minute, when Emre passed the ball and Milner's low left-footed shot from 24 yards on the right was confiscated by Van der Sar. Those so-called famous players on the field can't play at all.

United finally took the lead in the 40th minute when Ryan Giggs whipped in a tactical corner from the left, Cristiano Ronaldo crossed the two from the left and fired a powerful shot from 25 yards down the middle, the ball bounced off the right post and the unguarded Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fired into the empty net from seven yards out. It was also the Norwegian's first goal in a whole year!

In first-half stoppage time, United doubled their lead again when Steven Taylor's header was stopped by Luka Modric at the top of the box, and Modric's shot from 19 yards down the middle was deflected off Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's head and into the net close to the right-hand post.

"The game is over......

Yes, the game ended early, Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney don't need to come up, Manchester United, with two goals in hand, is stable.

"Ferguson has rotated a lot of places, but Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo are on the pitch, which has allowed United to maintain enough advantages throughout."

After the start of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to play in two halves, and Manchester United attacked like a tide. In the 55th minute, Giggs crossed diagonally to the left rib of the penalty area, and Ronaldo faced Karl from 8 yards and feinted and pushed into the near corner, changing the score to 3:0.

In the 64th minute, Modric passed, Ronaldo shook Karl and then burst into the left side of the penalty area 10 yards and shot diagonally into the far corner, and the score was 4:0.

Wayne Rooney and Rossi then came on to replace Ryan Giggs and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer respectively, but neither was able to find the back of the net.

United had 67.5 per cent possession, 83.5 per cent pass completion and 78.4 per cent up front......

"Manchester United, it's terrifying!"

"Hey, Ronaldo has scored more goals in the league than Dong?"

Ten wins in a row, the quality is very good.

Dong Fangzhuo didn't get a minute to play, and Manchester United finally played a quality game without him.

Soon after the game, he packed his bags and went to London, where he met with Sun Jihai and Zheng Zhi and flew back to China by plane together.

Although the Asian Cup qualifiers were called up, the main purpose of the trip was more to shoot an advertisement for the national team.

Recently, the national team's record has been strong, and the Football Association also wants to take this opportunity to promote football, taking advantage of the Asian Cup qualifiers, and simply let overseas players come back......
