NOVEL WEB Chapter 2126 Hehehe, there really are people who are not afraid of death!
Back home to face Stoke City.
Ye Chen and all the main players have returned.
Manchester United swept Stoke City 4-0 at Old Trafford. Ye Chen scored three goals alone, and another goal came from Maguire who returned from injury.
Maguire's head is really useful.
Manchester United continued to extend its unbeaten record to 53 games, but the focus of this round is obviously not the match between Manchester United, but the match between Liverpool and Manchester City!
Manchester City challenged Liverpool away this time, and they encountered stubborn resistance.
Just 9 minutes into the game, Chamberlain received a pass from Firmino and scored the first goal.
To make matters worse, left-back Delph was injured in the 31st minute!
However, before the end of the first half, Sane, the former Schalke 04 genius, equalized the score.
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.
Liverpool scored again. Just now it was Firmino who assisted Chamberlain, but now the situation is reversed.
In the 59th minute, Firmino pushed the ball into the goal, but Ederson stretched his legs to intercept it but was a beat too late.
Three minutes later, Lallana scored with a lob, extending the score to 3-1!
But is that enough?
In the 68th minute, Milner from the midfield made a lob pass to Wijnaldum in the middle, who scored with a long shot.
Manchester City was directly beaten!
Guardiola on the sidelines did not hesitate at all, and replaced Sterling and B Silva in succession and began to fight back.
In the 84th minute, B Silva, who had just come on, scored a goal in the penalty area.
In the 88th minute, Messi shot from outside the penalty area. The ball hit defender Lovren and deflected into the net, scoring another goal.
In the 94th minute, Gundogan received a pass from Aguero and shot from behind, making the score 4-4!
Liverpool fans experienced the same injuries that Manchester City fans had suffered before.
But Liverpool fans were even more sad because they were chased from 4-1 to 4-4!
Heartbroken and unable to breathe.
Of course, Manchester United fans are also smiling.
This is the first time I see Liverpool so well...
But next time I meet them, I will have to thank Liverpool very much.
After beating Stoke City, we immediately had to prepare for the next game against Burnley.
This is also the last league game of the month, but there are two other matches besides this, namely the League Cup semi-final against Manchester City and the FA Cup fourth round away to Yeovil.
Burnley did not use all substitutes in this game because the next game against Manchester City is on the 24th, and there are three days of rest.
It can ensure to a large extent that the main players can start in the game against Manchester City.
曼城23场比赛结束，20胜2平1负，积62分。
Manchester United continued its winning streak with 23 wins and 69 points.
The score difference quietly widened to 7 points.
So Manchester United certainly hopes to press on with their victory.
But Burnley is a team that cannot be underestimated. Although they were relegated in the 2023-2024 season, they are currently ranked 23th in the league after 7 rounds!
Apart from BIG6, that's it.
Burnley's head coach is Dyche, who can be said to be Burnley's legendary coach.
It was under his leadership that the team won the Championship in the 2015-2016 season and was promoted to the Premier League.
Now their lineup is becoming more and more complete, and they are beginning to think about competing in the European competition zone.
As we head into the end of January, temperatures in England are getting a little cooler.
Today, the temperature in Lancashire, where Burnley is located, is around 0 degrees. Snowflakes are flying all over the sky, covering the entire stadium with a layer of white silver.
However, the staff have completed the snow-clearing work, but it is also a physical torture for the players to play football in such weather.
The enthusiasm of the fans in the stands remained undiminished. They were wearing thick winter clothes, some wore hats, some wore scarves, and they cheered for the team they supported without fear of the cold.
No one is optimistic about the home team, but at this moment, they have to advance and retreat with the team.
The referee today is Mike Dean.
“Migu Sports Migu Sports!”
"Welcome everyone to watch Manchester United's last league game in January this season, with Burnley, seventh in the league, facing Manchester United, first in the league!"
"I am today's host, Zhan Jun, and next to me is my partner, Coach Zhang Lu!"
"Hey hey hey, good evening everyone!"
This game is quite friendly to domestic fans. Going to bed immediately after watching the game at 11 o'clock in the evening will not affect the fans' plans for the next day.
Zhan Jun continued to explain, "Burnley's outstanding performance this season has attracted everyone's attention. In the first game of this season, they overturned the Premier League giants Chelsea 3-2, and later drew with Tottenham and Liverpool in succession, showing their impressive strength!"
"This game for Manchester United will definitely not be too easy!"
There is no doubt that Burnley is a tough nut to crack!
Before the game, midfielder Jack Cork came over to get close to Ye Chen, "I am a Chelsea youth player. Since you joined Chelsea, we have become invincible... That was my happiest day!"
"You are my idol, I like you very much!"
"Can you exchange jerseys with me after the game? I will definitely treasure it..."
Seeing the other party was so enthusiastic, Ye Chen also agreed.
Before the game, Ye Chen exchanged flags with Burnley captain Benjamin Mee and took a photo together.
However, there were many discordant voices in the stands of this small stadium.
"Yellow banana~~"
In the area near Ye Chen, someone shouted insults to Ye Chen!
Such voices are actually very difficult to ban.
After all, you can't expect everyone to be a good person...
There are also some who deliberately try to stand out and gain traffic.
After all, black and red are also red!
But Ye Chen naturally couldn't turn a blind eye to such behavior. There was only one thing he could do - beat them until they shut up!
The stadium is called Turf Moor. It was completed in 1996 and can accommodate a total of fans.
Today, of course, the place is packed.
The small court has its advantages. Ye Chen can clearly see their expressions and hear what they shout.
Of course, many Burnley fans don’t know that someone has already angered Ye Chen.
But now Ye Chen has become very mature and can keep his emotions under control.
"Burnley's formation is 4231!"
"Goalkeeper Pope."
"Left back Charlie Taylor, double centre backs Benjamin Mee and Tarkowski, right back Bardsley!"
"The midfield duo of Defour and Jack Cork."
"Left winger Arfield, attacking midfielder Hendrick, right winger Gudmundsson."
"FW Ashley Barnes."
Ye Chen felt that the players of Burnley looked familiar, but he did not know them.
Lindegaard, who was sitting on the bench, was the goalkeeper who once competed with De Gea for the starting position. He even played penalty games with Ye Chen in the youth team.
Now that time has changed, De Gea is still the goalkeeper of Manchester United, but he has become a substitute for West Bromwich Albion.
Of course, this Pope is not an unknown person. He later joined Newcastle and is also the England goalkeeper, but he is suppressed by the new victim.
"Manchester United still uses the 433 formation!"
"Goalkeeper De Gea."
"Left back Rojo, double central defenders Smalling and Ake, right back Dalot."
"The three midfielders are Rice, Modric and De Bruyne."
"Left winger Grealish, forward Ye Chen, right winger Bowen."
"It's not difficult to see Ancelotti's attitude from the starting lineup... His focus is still on the league."
"Can Manchester United continue their unbeaten streak, remain unbeaten or even win away from home? Let's wait and see!"
