Volume 1 Chapter 334 Win the championship ahead of schedule

As the showdown between Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal approached, all kinds of war of words began to surface, and even Arsene Wenger, who is usually reluctant to participate in it, took the initiative this time.

Ahead of Chelsea's trip to Manchester United in the 33rd round of the Premier League, Chelsea's captain John Terry has made a big statement that Chelsea aim to remain unbeaten and continue to dominate the Premier League and European football next season.

"I know that Arsenal were one step away from making history unbeaten and we still have that chance, we have lost once so far this season and we will try to win the title unbeaten next season and break their record with 57 games unbeaten in Arsenal's goal."

Arsene Wenger immediately countered the Chelsea captain's declaration.

'There's no denying that Chelsea are very good at the moment, but it's still a long way from greatness, at least they haven't created their own tactical style, and every great team tends to lead a style trend of their own, which I don't see in Chelsea.

"If you want to catch up with our 57-game unbeaten run, wait until they get past Manchester United," Arsene Wenger's last sentence was very cunning.

Interestingly, Ferguson was willing to be the spearhead of Wenger this time, saying in an interview that Chelsea are not the strongest team in the Premier League, at least from Manchester United's point of view, Wenger's Arsenal attack is more threatening.

'I'm never going to give up on the pitch and even though we're only third and we're far away from the two teams in front of us, that doesn't mean there's that big difference between us, on the contrary, the league is very competitive and any team can beat Chelsea, even if it's a relegation team.

"The Premier League is a very difficult league, Ye Qiu has done quite well in the Premier League in the past two years, but it is also very difficult for him, because to successfully defend the title in the Premier League, you always have to pay a very, very many costs, not only huge mental pressure."

'Chelsea have a lot of money and a huge financial investment that puts all of them under pressure to match it, and I can understand why they have to defend their title because that's the only way they can prove that their investment is worthwhile and that they can prove their success'

"But that's definitely not the mental quality that a top team should have, because such a team is too fragile and can easily be overwhelmed by sudden pressure, such as a defeat or even a goal"

For Ferguson and Wenger to put pressure on Chelsea in the media before the game, Ye Qiu knows very well that this is their psychological warfare, if the current Premier League is regarded as a three-man competition, then Ye Qiu and his Chelsea are Cao Wei, Ferguson and Wenger are Sun Quan and Liu Bei, they must join forces.

Ye Qiu is not afraid of Sun Wu joining forces, he did not talk about Arsenal and Manchester United at all when he was interviewed by the media, but praised Everton vigorously, thinking that Moyes's coaching performance this season is very good, he is one of the most powerful teams in the Premier League, and he deserves to qualify for the Champions League, and even should be in the top three.

'They are one of the three best teams in the Premier League this season and I think they are a bit underestimated at the moment and David Moyes is a very good manager and I'm sure he sees that as well'

This round Everton plays Arsenal, while the next round Everton will face Manchester United.

As for his opponent Ferguson, the Scots did not show weakness, and Ye Qiu was even more arrogant.

"Against Manchester United, I can win him in the second team"

Because of this sentence, Ye Qiu became the public enemy of all the Red Devils fans at Old Trafford who cursed and humiliated wildly.

Before the game started, they pulled out a long banner in the stands, on which was written the slogan sarcastically Ye Qiu, "Chinese who are not self-sufficient, are you ready to take your second team home to feed?" ”

There are also some fans who pulled out huge portraits in the stands, in which Ye Qiu P is a woman with a red face, and behind him is the majestic Ferguson chasing with a kitchen knife, with the line, "Don't come to me if you have a fart"

Even when Ye Qiu saw this, he couldn't stop smiling, he really found that the creativity of the people was really endless, at least the spoof ability of this group of fans was indeed not bad, even Ye Qiu had to admire.

But this game Chelsea did play second team.

Perhaps due to the impact of Drogba's possible early end of the season, Ye Qiu left Frank Lampard and Cannavaro with leg injuries on the bench in this game, Terry, Deco and McCone also did not start, Chelsea arranged Ronaldinho, Rooney, Evra and Makelele four main players in this game, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a second team.

So, when Manchester United fans at Old Trafford saw Chelsea's starting lineup, their first reaction was that the damn Chinese were too arrogant and really wanted to play Manchester United at Old Trafford with this second-team lineup?

Not to mention, Ye Qiu is not only bold, but also full of energy.

At the beginning of the game, Chelsea directly launched a round of attack, anti-guest, and launched an attack on Manchester United, which immediately made the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford very unhappy, and shouted one by one that the team wanted the team to get rid of this group of ignorant guys, and it was best to kill them directly at Old Trafford.

Manchester United will be the main line-up for this game, with Howard in goal, Silvestre, Rio Ferdinand, Brown and Gary Neville in defence, Ryan Giggs, Fletcher, Paul Scholes in midfield, Roy Keane and Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the lone striker.

The two sides played a fast pace from the beginning, Chelsea used Fabregas and Makelele in the midfield in this game, the Spaniard is relatively young, less experienced than Deco, and the control of the game rhythm and situation is obviously not as good as Deco, so in this game, Ye Qiu mainly handed over the control of the rhythm of the game to Makelele, allowing Fabregas to organize and pass the ball to his heart's content.

In the front field, Joe Cole, who has performed well this season, was pushed forward by Ye Qiu to the front of the penalty area, allowing him to attack behind Gudjohnsen with Ronaldinho and Rooney.

This is actually because Ye Qiu has touched the lifeblood of Manchester United, that is, their midfield strength is insufficient.

At the peak of the golden four midfielders, Manchester United's midfield was enough to suppress all opponents, and at the same time it could also fill a series of problems in the forward and defensive lines, but with the departure of Beckham and the aging of Keane, Manchester United's midfield strength has been significantly inferior to that year, and it has long been weakened to stop the enemy from the momentum of the 30-meter area.

Without further ado, just look at Keane's performances over the past season to prove it.

And Ye Qiu took the initiative to press up and attack, in fact, by suppressing Manchester United's midfield, forcing the Red Devils to expose the holes in their defensive line, and then completely destroy the opponent.

In the 13th minute, Rooney and Joe Cole formed a combination on the right side, trying to break through Manchester United's left side unsuccessfully, passing back to Makelele behind him, and the French midfielder passed to Cesc Fabregas who ran into space, who got the ball and directly plugged it in.

The ball passed quickly past Brown, Brown wanted to intercept, but it didn't work, Gary Neville's attention was focused on Ronaldinho, and finally could only watch the ball pass past Brown, Gudjohnsen cut in behind Brown, and after winning the ball, he was on the left side of the penalty spot in the penalty area, facing Howard, and gently picked it up.

The ball went over Howard's head, arced and slowly crashed into the United goal, 0

"Scored"

With the exclamation of the on-site commentator, the entire Old Trafford stadium suddenly turned from a crowd to a silence, and the Red Devils fans who were still noisy just now, hoping that Manchester United would give Chelsea a fatal blow, were all stunned to look at the bottom of the stadium at this time, celebrating the group of Chelsea players wearing blue jerseys.

And those Red Devils Manchester United players wearing the red jerseys of the home team are the same as them, all of them look stunned, obviously they have not been able to accept this sudden goal, and some people must still be wondering, how did this goal go in? How was it so easy to be scored?

It's not the first time that Howard has been scored by such a goal to break through his own goal, the last game against Norwich, the team's conceded goals also came from high balls, although the American goalkeeper has the size of l meter RR, but the high ball has always been his weakness, not only him, but Carroll, who competes with him for the main position this season, is also lacking in high ball.

"In the past, Ferguson was always laughing at Arsenal's defensive height, and he even ridiculed Wenger many times, saying that to play Arsenal, the simplest and most direct tactic is to cross from the side, play high ball, anyone can beat Arsenal, but now, Manchester United has also encountered this problem."

'Judging from the goal conceded, the distance between Brown and Rio Ferdinand is a bit wide, which is the main reason why Cesc Fabregas easily tore through the United defence, but Howard clearly saw the hole, he was hesitant to fill the hole by attacking, and just when he hesitated, Gudjohnsen got a chance from here, and then the volley left Howard, who was obviously on the outside, helpless"

"Filling the holes in the defensive line through goalkeeper attacks is a feature that Chelsea is widely appreciated by many professionals, Van der Sar is the quintessential attacking goalkeeper, and Ye Qiu also strongly encourages him to expand his defensive range and area to fill the holes in the defensive line, but Howard is not Van der Sar after all, and the American clearly lacks the necessary self-confidence."

"However, the problem of Manchester United is also very clear now, everyone knows that Manchester United's weakness in midfield has been the biggest obstacle to the team's results since last season, Ferguson's unsuccessful attempt to bring in Wayne Rooney, and the lack of success in bringing in Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich, has led to a kind of pause in Manchester United's midfield adjustments."

"In the past period, Manchester United has been deeply involved in the turmoil of being acquired by the Glazer family, and the Glazer family also promised Ferguson that once the acquisition is completed, it will come up with a generous transfer fee in the shortest possible time to restructure Manchester United's squad and make this team regain the fighting power to compete with Arsenal and Chelsea."

But that's all for later, and now Chelsea took advantage of the lead not long after the opening kick-off to launch the most violent assault on Manchester United's goal, especially against the weakness of Manchester United's midfield and the lack of Ruud van Nistelrooy's counter-attack.

Rooney wanted to break through into the penalty area on the right side, but was caught by Ferdinand and Silvestre, England had to choose to protect the ball, take it back, and go out of the penalty area, but did not pass the ball to Joe Cole, but directly to the left side of the top of the penalty area, and saw Ronaldinho quickly shake off Gary Neville and run over to pick up Rooney.

Stop the ball, adjust the center of gravity to the left foot, pick up his right foot, I heard a bang, Ronaldinho's right foot directly on the ball, the ball crossed a very obvious arc, flew up and fell quickly, almost against the angle between the right post and the crossbar of the goal, and once again drilled into the Manchester United goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

"The absolute blind spot of the world's world wave at the front of the forbidden area"

Ronaldinho kept waving his fist-clapping hands, quickly rushed out of the Manchester United penalty area, kept shouting along the way, venting his excitement after the goal, rushed to the bottom of the Manchester United fans' stands, and slammed his fists into the air, as if in response to the previous provocation of Manchester United fans.

"0 The current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Manchester United, Chelsea's attacking ability is indeed very sharp, Manchester United's defense has been attacked twice by the Blues in less than half an hour, which is really something that no one expected"

"Ye Qiu did not play his best in this game, Frank Lampard, Terry, Deco and many other main core players did not play, coupled with the team's injuries, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Chelsea's lineup is a second team, but it is with this Chelsea second team, the Blues easily occupied the initiative in the game at Old Trafford"

The live TV camera was given to the sidelines, Ye Qiu was unscrupulously high-fived and celebrated with his assistants and players, smiling from ear to ear, looking confident that he had already won the game, while Ferguson had a gloomy face, sitting in the home team's coach's box, no speech, no movement, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.

In fact, the game was not played, and the winner and loser were both known.

There is no doubt that Manchester United are by no means weak, but the problem is that their shortcomings are too obvious.

Even some relegated middle and lower teams such as Norwich were able to pinch Manchester United's seven inches, and the Red Devils couldn't parry, let alone Chelsea, which is why Ye Qiu dared to shout before the game that he could beat Manchester United even if he was on the second team.

To put it bluntly, even if Chelsea plays with a full bench lineup, in terms of strength, it is definitely ranked number one in the Premier League

The game has developed so far, not to mention Ferguson, even if Ye Qiu is asked to coach Manchester United, he has no way, the reason is very simple, if you want to reverse the situation, you have to change, but now Manchester United lacks the most is to change tactics.

Ferguson's stubbornness at the back is well known, and even during Rio Ferdinand's suspension, he refused to bring in reinforcements at the back, not only because he knew that the core problem was not at the back, but also because he believed that a strong defence came from the understanding of the players, rather than the individual strength of the players.

As for the midfield, what is variable in United's midfield?

Cristiano Ronaldo, Keane, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, almost all the midfielders that Manchester United can send have been deployed by Ferguson, what will he do to change?

There is a good saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, which is the portrayal of Ferguson now.

Therefore, even when the Red Devils fans at Old Trafford booed because of dissatisfaction, Ferguson still did not make substitutions, but only made local adjustments to try to stabilize the situation.

The first half ended with a score of 0.

At half-time, Ferguson made a substitution, bringing on French striker Saha for Fletcher, his only substitution of the game, as he really didn't have anything to do with it.

In the second half, Chelsea moved away from attacking tactics and tried to control the game steadily.

Saha is a very special player, and Ferguson paid such a high price to bring him in, in fact, he does not value his scoring ability, because in Manchester United, in terms of scoring ability, who can compare to Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area?

Ferguson's introduction of Saha is mainly based on Saha's ability to take the ball and turn and make the ball, because of the presence of Saha, the threat of Giggs, Scholes and Cristiano Ronaldo's back insertion can be played, but the presence of Ruud van Nistelrooy is a bit redundant, because everyone knows that the most threatening area of Ruud van Nistelrooy is in the penalty area.

It's not that Vanney won't get a chance if he walks in, but it's a lot less than in the past.

There's a well-known argument in tactical theory about strikers scoring, you can create 15 scoring chances in a game, and even an amateur striker can score a lot of goals; But if you can only create five chances in a game, even if your striker is Ronaldo, it's still hard for you to score.

The argument of this argument is actually telling everyone that the strength of a team's ability to score goals is not in the striker, or in other words, the impact of the striker is actually very small, and the real decisive thing is your ball advancement.

In the past, it was to make the ball for the striker, but now it is to go forward to make the ball for the midfielder, Ye Qiu can predict that Vanney's days at Old Trafford are coming to an end, because Ferguson can't let such a good striker become an ornament in front.

And Manchester United wants to reorganize, wants to adjust the team's entire tactical attacking system, the front Vanney and the midfielder Keane, the two must be won, they have become the biggest obstacle to Manchester United's change.

Ye Qiu understood this truth, but he would not let the players show mercy.

In the 71st minute, Brown passed to Silvestre diagonally, Rooney quickly cut in after breaking the ball, the ball passed past Ferdinand, Joe Cole cut in and easily pushed the ball into the Manchester United goal at the U-meter in front of the goal, 0

The game has been going on so far, there is no suspense at all, if it is reversed by Manchester United after leading 30, then Ye Qiu and Chelsea will die after hitting the wall

Even all Chelsea fans are looking forward to the result of the Arsenal vs Everton match, as it will determine whether Chelsea can win the title early after this round
