229 poaching each other
Almunia is not very bad, sprained his finger bone in his right hand and will need to be suspended for about two weeks, so he will not be able to play in the upcoming game against Brighton.
Due to the hard work of the players in the game against Reading, Mourinho decided to give the main players on the pitch a day off, but the substitutes still had to participate in training, but in fact, except for Juninho Jr., who had a temporary problem, all the other players returned to the club for training, especially Olic and Cech, the two outstanding players also practiced as usual.
Mourinho is very satisfied with the atmosphere in the team and he is more confident in the next games.
On September 29, in the 12th round of the English Second League, the new Manchester United sat at the City Stadium and faced Brighton.
The new Manchester United players, who had just played against Reading, looked a little lacking on the pitch, and despite Curtis's return and Mourinho's replacement of Essien with Arau Diarra and Wright Phillips in place of Hleb, the new United players still looked less excited on the pitch.
On the contrary, Brighton played away from home and performed well, appearing to be very active throughout the game, frequently creating threats on the pitch, and even almost scoring on several occasions, but Cech continued the excellent performance of the previous game, and performed steadily throughout the game, without giving Brighton any chance.
1:0, New Manchester United scored the winning goal by Drogba with an assist from Palacio, who replaced Malouda in the second half.
In the post-match statistics, the new Manchester United had 7 shots on goal, 2 on target and scored 1 goal, but the away Brighton team had 14 shots on goal and 6 shots on target, but did not score a goal, especially in a corner, Kitson was close to heading the goal, but was almost unbelievably saved by Cech.
Petr Cech was still voted Player of the Match and was named in the top three Player of the Month for his performances in those two games, which is a rare sight for a goalkeeper.
Some even believe that it was Cech who saved the new Manchester United!
With 12 wins in a row in the early stages of the season, the new Manchester United are undoubtedly one of the top contenders for the League Two title this season, while Brentford, who have been in excellent form this season and have also won 12 in a row at the start of the season.
At the same time, due to the bye of the first round of the Pioneer Cup Winners' Cup in the north, the new Manchester United can directly enter the second round of the competition, and their opponent is Shrewsbury Town from the English League C, which is also the old rival of the new Manchester United, and the game is scheduled for October 2, and the new Manchester United play away.
Mourinho didn't pay much attention to this Pioneer Cup Winners' Cup, so he sent a substitute lineup for this game, the forward is Olich, the two wingers on the left and right are Ribery and Palacio, the midfield three players are De Rossi, Senna and Aarau Diarra, the back line is Evra, Hangrande, Chiellini and Bosingwa from left to right, and the goalkeeper is David Green, who started for the first time this season.
Such a substitute squad for Shrewsbury, but Mourinho still showed a strong belief in winning, and he said that this game will be a litmus test for the new Manchester United in the league, and whoever performs well will be included in the squad for the trip to Bristol City on the sixth day.
It was for this reason that the new Manchester United players showed a strong winning performance**, especially Giorgio Chiellini, who was questioned after the game due to his disastrous performance against Reading, but Mourinho trusted him and let him start, and he was determined to prove his quality.
Chiellini was excellent in the game and looked to have overcome the low tide of the previous game, he was very active, he was very good at defending both high and on the ground, and he also scored with a header from a set-piece.
In addition to Giorgio Chiellini, Olic who started in place of Didier Drogba was as tenacious as ever, running tirelessly throughout the game and at the same time having a more confident mentality than before, first assisting Ribery and De Rossi in the second half, and then Palacio created a penalty that his team-mate asked him to take the penalty, and he did not refuse to convert it.
The score of 1:5 made the Shrewsbury team, who thought they had a chance to beat the new Manchester United before the game, clearly see the gap between the two teams, you know, last season, also at home, they forced the new Manchester United to draw 1:1.
But now the new Manchester United has become so strong in the eyes of Shrewsbury's players.
Reaching the North quarter-finals of the Pioneer Cup Winners' Cup, the next round of the new Manchester United is scheduled for November 3 against Lincoln from the League C, who are currently mediocre in the League C, eliminated in the first round of the League Cup, but reached the quarter-finals in the Pioneer Cup Winners' Cup.

On the second day of the win over Shrewsbury, the FA finally responded to the complaints lodged by the new United.
Earlier, the FA's referee committee chairman had made it clear that he had made his apology to the new Manchester United, and he believed that the referee's decision on duty in the game against Reading was indeed controversial, especially the two penalties, and Mourinho's excitement based on this was understandable.
However, the FA's handling of the referee's repeated misjudgments with such obvious surnames has not been issued until today, and they have not announced until today that they will strengthen the training and management of referees for the surname, and at the same time deny the proposal to introduce high-tech from the outside world, and they even said that football is beautiful because of misjudgments.
The FA president mentioned the new United in an interview, and he believes that it was the referee's misjudgment that inspired the new Manchester United players, who eventually staged a classic comeback, and also created the team's iron and blood.
But such words are widely regarded by the outside world as an explanation given by the FA for its own inaction!
Either way, the game has to go on.
As a result of the excellent performance in September, Jose Mourinho was voted Manager of the Month, and when they got the bottle of champagne, the whole team was nervous because the legend is that the next game after winning the Manager of the Month will be lost, which is a curse.
However, Mourinho did not believe in the curse, and in the away game against Bristol City, Drogba put in an excellent performance, scoring twice to help his side win 2-0 at the home side and take the three points.
Meanwhile, on the other pitch, Brentford were upset at home and held to a draw by Swindon, leaving the new United at the top of the table with a two-point advantage.
But perhaps there was a problem with the mentality after taking the lead, or other teams also began to focus on the new Manchester United, which led to the new Manchester United sitting at the City Stadium on October 13, and was forced to a 0-0 draw by the visiting Stoke City team.
The new Manchester United took the absolute initiative throughout the game, attacking Stoke City fiercely, but the latter insisted on the game and in Mourinho's words after the game, they shrunk all the players back into the box, to paraphrase our Portuguese, they drove the bus that was supposed to be parked in the stadium parking lot onto the pitch and parked in front of their goal, which was bad, terrible! ”
Journalists amused by Mourinho's classic quote immediately jokingly asked, "Will you fire the parking lot and stadium administrators at the City Stadium?" ”
Mourinho's expression was very rich, and he immediately nodded to the reporter with a laugh and said: "You reminded me, yes, after I go back, I have to immediately report this matter to the club owner, the stadium management contractor of our stadium is too bad!" ”
Reporters originally thought Mourinho was joking, but who knows, two days later, they were invited to the city stadium.
"Hey, you see, I'm not lying, we really got a stadium manager, he's very good and professional, he's from Arsenal but he wasn't taken very seriously there, and we brought him in!"
After that, Mourinho also jokingly introduced the stadium manager named Paul Burgess to the reporters who had suspected him, who was brought from Arsenal to the new Manchester United by Xiao Yu with a higher salary, and made him the head of the stadium management, responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire stadium, which is much more than his authority at Arsenal.
Of course, this does not include the stadium shop and other aspects of commercial operations, he is responsible for the competitive aspects such as the turf and so on.
Journalists who were taken aback by Mourinho's sudden move immediately understood that it was Mourinho playing with them, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that they found a news gimmick.
You know, the relationship between new Manchester United fans and Arsenal fans is extremely cold, especially in the FA Cup the year before last, when New Manchester United defeated Arsenal in an upset under the coaching of Steve Bruce, which made Arsenal fans hate New Manchester United, and vice versa.
Now the new Manchester United have poached a full-time stadium manager from Arsenal, which has suddenly given reporters a lot of hype gimmicks, and they believe that this is a kind of revenge from the new Manchester United against Arsenal.
In addition, Manninger was loaned to Fiorentina by Arsene Wenger this season, and Arsenal hope to bring in a strong goalkeeper to take over Seaman's class, which has long been a well-known thing, but at this time Cech performed well at the new Manchester United and was still very young, so the media naturally linked Cech with Arsenal.
Didn't your new Manchester United dig into the corner of Arsenal?
Then let's help Arsenal dig your corner!
This behaviour is particularly true in the London media, who are clearly happy to see the new Manchester United suffer in the north, so they are happy to concoct a scene of Cech switching to Arsenal, and even suggest that Arsene Wenger has even made an offer of up to £5 million for the new Manchester United, which will break the transfer record of the goalkeeper's peers.
Xiao Yu didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, if the media's words were reliable, the sows would be able to go up the tree!
But when he didn't believe it, Wenger really made an offer!
