Chapter 32: Three points are the most important

Chapter 32 is the most important

Whether Li Qingshan can score in the next league game, fans will have to wait a few days to know.

Before that, United have another Champions League game in midweek against Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg.

Although Wolfsburg have been placed in Pot 4 of the group, they are arguably the most competitive team in the group. In addition to Manchester United, another favorite to qualify is Wolfsburg.

However, top favourites Manchester United suffered a defeat in the Netherlands in their first group game, so they will not be careless in this game.

If this game is also lost, and PSKA Einhorn win away to CSKA Moscow, it will be much more difficult for United to qualify.

Because Wolfsburg also won at home in the first round of the group stage, they beat CSKA Moscow 1-0 and temporarily ranked second in the group with a goal disadvantage, while PSV Eindhoven temporarily topped the group.

The current group format is PSV Eindhoven and VfL Wolfsburg with three points each, while Manchester United and CSKA Moscow have nil.

Therefore, it is a game that cannot be lost for Manchester United.

Moreover, Wolfsburg is not such an opponent to deal with.

Last season, Wolfsburg finished runners-up in the Bundesliga under the leadership of manager Black Gold, second only to Bayern Munich, and although they still lack some heat to challenge Bayern, they have at least proved that they are a very competitive team in the Bundesliga.

And in addition to their excellent performance in the league, Wolfsburg also went all the way to the final in the German Cup, and finally won the championship. It can be said that last season Wolfsburg was at the peak of their team in recent years.

However, this season, Wolfsburg's strength has declined compared to last season. Although the Volkswagen Group has injected a lot of money into Wolfsburg, allowing them to make a series of changes to catch up with Bayern Munich for the title, Wolfsburg have brought in players such as Draxler, Dante and Kreuzer this season. But for Wolfsburg, the more important thing is the departure of Kevin De Bruyne and Perisic. In particular, the departure of Kevin De Bruyne, who is quite a football smart and creative, has had a great impact on Wolfsburg's overall attacking power, and the consistent and rapid counter-attacks of the previous season have also disappeared.

After seven rounds of this season, Wolfsburg, who were ambitious at the beginning of the season, won three games, drew three and lost one in seven games, and only scored 12 points, ranking fourth in the Bundesliga, nine points behind Bayern Munich!

Pep Guardiola's side have started the season on a seven-game winning streak, and it looks like there is little suspense about the Bundesliga title.

For Wolfsburg, their reversal by Bayern Munich in the sixth round was a particularly demoralizing blow to them, so much so that they were held to a draw at home by relegation side Hannover 96 in the seventh round.

It wasn't the score of the game that hit them, even though five to one was a big score. But what hurt Wolfsburg even more was the way they lost.

In fact, in the 51st minute of the game, they were still 1-0 up.

However, the incredible scene occurred in the nine minutes of 51-60.

Lewandowski, in those nine minutes, scored five goals in a row. It has set a new record for the fastest hat-trick in the Bundesliga, the fastest big four and the fastest goal in a single game. And five goals in nine minutes set a new goal record.

And the backdrop for Lewandowski's miracle is none other than Wolfsburg. The Black and Gold team is really sad enough during this time.

It is quite difficult to chase points in the league, and the black and gold are pinning their hopes on the Champions League, if Wolfsburg can make a breakthrough in the Champions League this season, such as reaching the quarter-finals or even reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, then Wolfsburg will be considered successful this season.

Despite being away from home, the Black and Gold also want to make a splash on Manchester United's head. PSV Eindhoven can get all three points against Manchester United, so why can't Wolfsburg.

But the black gold's ambition went from three to one after just six minutes.

Because Manchester United scored.

Now England fans can continue to guess whether Li Qingshan can score in the next game.

Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera both made their comebacks, while Angel Di Maria also made his first appearance in the Champions League group stage this season.

Ancelotti's main system has finally been injury-free.

And it turns out that the power of his system is still quite huge.

In the sixth minute, Mata sent a long pass in front, Di Maria easily unloaded the ball after inserting it on the side, and after taking two steps in the direction of the baseline, he shook off the defense of Wolfsburg defender Ricardo Rodriguez in a series of feints and sent a cross, Li Qingshan beat Dante and Naldo's header in the middle, and Wolfsburg goalkeeper Benaglio had no way to rush to the top of Li Qingshan's close header, and Manchester United took the lead at the beginning and led 1-0.

More than ten minutes later, Heijin's expectation of a point was hit again.

In the 21st minute, Herrera plugged the ball to the right side in the middle, and Mata attracted the defense and slipped the ball to Valencia, who cut in at high speed, and Valencia crossed directly, but the pass was not well controlled and passed to the other side. Thankfully, left wing-back Alex Sandro cut in just in time to stop the ball and the two full-backs had a direct conversation.

Ancelotti shook his head slightly. Valencia is all right, it's just that the footwork in this cross is really ......... It's so frustrating.

Fortunately, Sandro did not disappoint Ancelotti.

He didn't look at the situation in the box and sent a cross into the box.

Li Qingshan repeated his old tricks, and neither Dante nor the other Wolfsburg defenders could do anything about him.

Football is back in the net.

Two headers, two goals.

In this game, Wolfsburg were completely suppressed on the road.

In the second half, centre-back Chris Chris Smalling scored another goal from a corner. Three to zero.

Manchester United defeated Wolfsburg at home with three headers to claim their first Champions League group stage win of the season.

After the win, Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief.

At least for now, United are not being pulled away from the points. With PSV Eindhoven beaten 2-0 away at CSKA Moscow, Manchester United have climbed top of the group on goal difference, with CSKA Moscow second.

After two rounds, each of the four teams in the group won one game, and everyone got three points.
