Chapter 271: 10 rounds left in the Premier League, two exciting reversals in a row!

February 28th.

The 28th round of the Premier League is about to begin. Chu Feng and his teammates came to Lancashire. Their opponent today is Burnley, a founding member of the English Football League.

Burnley head coach Dyche did not miss the opportunity of Manchester United's weakness and took advantage of the home advantage to attack Manchester United's right flank area at the beginning.

"David Luiz temporarily played as a defensive midfielder, and the effect was indeed a bit unsatisfactory!"

"Less than ten minutes into the game, he made a mistake in his positioning and rushed into the game. If De Gea hadn't been in such a hot state, I'm afraid the score would have been changed long ago."

"Hey, here they come!"

“McNeill dribbled the ball forward and swept it straight into the penalty area!”

"Chris passed the ball behind him and Ashley followed up with a volley! De Gea made a world-class save!"

"It's not over yet, Jack scored a goal from outside the box and Burnley scored the first goal!"

"pretty!!!"

At Turf Moor, Burnley fans roared with joy, and everyone's face was filled with excitement!

You know, Manchester United is not popular in the Premier League.

The British media "Mirror" conducted a questionnaire survey some time ago, selecting the most popular and most hated Premier League clubs.

The result? Manchester United (68%), Chelsea (65%) and Liverpool (60%) ranked as the top three most hated clubs.

In the survey of the most popular clubs, Southampton, Bournemouth and Swansea ranked in the top three.

As for the reason, it should be related to strength.

Manchester United and three other teams have dominated the Premier League.

Therefore, fans of other clubs are eager to see Manchester United lose, and it would be best if they could withdraw from the championship race directly.

"Green, you should retreat deeper and assist David in defense later."

Chu Feng walked up to Greenwood.

Burnley ranks 15th in the standings, which shows that their overall strength is average. As long as they can ensure the defense in the backcourt, Chu Feng is confident that they can do a good job in the offense in the frontcourt.

"clear!"

Greenwood shouted.

He was a youth trainee one grade younger than Chu Feng, and he witnessed Chu Feng's rise firsthand.

Therefore, in their future vision, they hope to become a player like Chu Feng.

Not to mention asking him to retreat and participate in defense, even if he were to play as a full-back, Greenwood would go there happily.

"Well, keep going, the boss has high hopes for you." Chu Feng said meaningfully.

Lingard and Pogba have been a little agitated recently, and he has also seen Mourinho's idea, which is to punish them a little, and if they don't change, then take drastic measures.

Therefore, young players have opportunities.

Greenwood became excited when he heard this and glared at McNeil fiercely.

"We need to encourage these young people." Chu Feng said secretly in his heart.

Beep!!! After the game resumed, Burnley did not choose to retreat to defend, but continued to attack Manchester United's right flank.

Because Burnley coach Dyche understood that with Burnley's defensive strength, it would be difficult to stop Chu Feng's impact, so it would be better to gamble on a big wave! Fortunately, with the help of Greenwood, Manchester United stabilized the right side of the defense.

However, their offense encountered some problems. Every time Chu Feng got the ball, he would be surrounded by three strong men. Even if he tried his best to break through one or two of them, his opponents would commit tactical fouls without hesitation.

After seeing this, Mourinho on the sidelines signaled the players on the left to increase the frequency of forward runs and increase the number of attacking groups in the frontcourt.

Chu Feng no longer tried to do it on his own, but instead focused on cooperating with his teammates.

"Manchester United used Chu as a bridgehead and gradually developed smooth cooperation, especially McTominay, who had a very accurate grasp of the timing of attack!"

"There are less than five minutes left in the first half. Do Manchester United have a chance to equalize the score?"

As time passed, the game entered injury time.

Chu Feng retreated and received the pass from his teammate. He glanced back at the three people behind him and passed the ball to Rashford on the side with the outside of his foot.

Immediately, he rushed into the penalty area with all his might.

Since there is no way to break through with the ball, let's try to pull without the ball! "Follow him!" Burnley goalkeeper Heaton quickly reminded.

Little did they know that another person ran in at the gap in front of the penalty area!

"Rashford makes a reverse triangle pass!"

"McDonnell's diagonal route was too tricky, and he left Westwood behind!"

The commentator's voice hasn't even finished.

McTominay received the ball, adjusted, and shot at the front of the penalty area! Chu Feng even deliberately blocked the goalkeeper's sight.

When he looked back, the football was flying along the grass, passing the goalkeeper's right hand, and diving into the goal! "As expected of a center forward!"

Chu Feng admired in his heart, and then rushed to Xiaomai, "Scott, you are our hero!"

"Hero! Hero!"

Manchester United players all followed suit. Being able to equalize the game before the end of the first half was a huge boost to morale.

After the half-time break, everyone was screaming with excitement.

How can Burnley resist?

In the 67th minute of the second half, Xiaomai made a forward run to distract the opponent, and Chu Feng got a good opportunity.

He directly knocked Benjamin aside and took a violent long shot! The football was like a cannonball, whizzing into the Burnley goal, shattering Burnley's hope of a draw.

Next, Manchester United changed their usual practice and started parking the bus.

Burnley fans at the scene began to taunt and there was a constant stream of boos, but the Manchester United players were not disturbed at all.

The team was short of players and exhausted. What's wrong with just pausing the bus? They also learned the essence of Mourinho: no matter how beautiful the game is, it's useless. Winning the game is the kingly way! In the end, Manchester United won the away game against Burnley with difficulty, ending the last game in February.

They could finally take a breath.

After the game, the 28th round of the Premier League also came to an end. What made Manchester United fans a little disappointed was that Liverpool beat Leicester City 3-1 and Manchester City beat Newcastle United 2-1.

The biggest rivals for the league title didn't perform poorly.

If the situation is so extreme that all three teams can win their subsequent games except the head-to-head matches, the championship situation will become very complicated.

Chu Feng glanced at the upcoming schedule.

Manchester United will face Liverpool in mid-March and Manchester City in late April. "I don't know if Liverpool will give Manchester City a break if they have no hope of winning the championship."

Lukaku asked casually.

"We believe in their professionalism and we just need to do our best."

Chu Feng interrupted the topic. Some doubts are better not to be raised. Otherwise, if they are known by the outside media, it will probably lead to another bloody storm.

Moreover, although Manchester United and Liverpool are sworn enemies, he doesn't think Liverpool players will do that.

"Oh, those things are too far away. Let's think about what to eat tomorrow."

McTominay stuffed a large piece of grilled chicken breast into his mouth.

Manchester United recently replaced its new chef, who is said to have served the England national team.

“Mal’s seasoning level is really good.”

Chu Feng said while chewing on beef ribs, "I have to attend an event tomorrow. Call me if you have any questions." - Day and night alternate.

Many football stars attended Puma's new product launch in London.

Looking at the Manchester City players over there, Lukaku swallowed his saliva and said, "Chu, do you think we won't get beaten?"

News broke a few days ago that Manchester City's sponsor has changed. Next season, Puma will replace Nike and become the sponsor of City Football Group.

It will provide services to five teams including Manchester City, Melbourne, Sichuan and Chongqing Jiuniu.

The price is also very exaggerated. The contract period is as long as 10 years and the sponsorship amount is as high as 650 million pounds.

Chu Feng rolled his eyes and was too lazy to answer his question , "Chu, I heard that you are sponsored by Puma. How much can you make in a year?"

Lukaku holds up two fingers.

"Almost." Chu Feng didn't know whether Lukaku was talking about two million or twenty million, so he just fooled him.

Soon, the press conference officially began.

"First of all, our Wind Super Speed ​​I speed boots will officially start production at the end of March." Puma's global marketing director Patrick said loudly, and then extended his hand to invite Chu Feng to come on stage for an interview.

There was a burst of warm applause in the venue. At present, there are only four stars who have specially named their boots, namely Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Modric and Mbappe.

But starting today, there will be one more.

"first."

Chu Feng didn't say much, just thanked this and that.

Next, Puma announced its cooperation with Manchester City and newly signed stars such as Suarez, Oblak, etc.

Originally, Patrick wanted to invite Chu Feng to the dinner, but Chu Feng refused because he had a game tomorrow.

So he returned to Manchester overnight.

On March 2, 2019, the 29th round of the Premier League began, which means the countdown to the Premier League has begun.

In the last 10 rounds, the final champion will be decided.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Old Trafford.

After a few days of rest, Manchester United's injury situation finally eased a lot, and Pogba and Lingard also took the initiative to find Mourinho to admit their mistakes.

Of course, as to whether they were sincere or not, only the two of them knew.

So in today's game, Mourinho fielded a semi-main lineup to allow Chu Feng, who had played three games in nine days, to have a rest.

In the 4th minute of the game, Manchester United had a good chance in the frontcourt, but Lukaku's close-range shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.

This caused the Manchester United fans at the scene to boo continuously.

In fact, if Manchester United didn't have Chu Feng, they could still tolerate Lukaku's shortcomings.

But what people fear most is comparison.

So when Manchester United fans saw Lukaku wasting opportunities, they wished they could sell this big guy.

Moreover, Lingard and Pogba seem to be slacking off. You know, Southampton only has 27 points!

Manchester United is definitely a relegation team. If they can't win, it would be better to disband early. What will they use to compete for the championship?

However, in the 26th minute of the game, Valeri scored a world-class goal from the outside, and even De Gea couldn't do anything about this magical goal.

"Do they want to continue sitting on the bench?" Mahrez couldn't help but complain.

Chu Feng did not defend the two of them. To be honest, he was also a little angry.

No matter what conflicts there are off the field, they are not allowed to be brought onto the field. This is the rule of professional football and also the quality of professional players! Southampton took advantage of the situation after scoring.

You have to know that they are Liverpool's younger brothers and have been eager to help their big brother block the opponent.

We finally got a chance today and played hysterically, with a bit of Atletico Madrid feel.

I'm betting that you don't dare to fight us.

Otherwise, if an injury occurs, will we be able to play in the Champions League five days later?

So the situation remained deadlocked until the end of the first half. After the referee blew the whistle, Mourinho left without looking back.

"Chu, come to the locker room."

Chu Feng knew instantly that he had to go on the court, and thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had an injury immunity module, otherwise even an iron man would not be able to withstand it.

"Two substitutions in the second half, Chu replaced Romelu and Riad replaced Jesse."

Mourinho came straight to the point and pulled no punches.

If Matic and Herrera hadn't been injured, he could have replaced Pogba as well!

The Manchester United players were silent, and it was Chu Feng who finally broke the silence: "Boss, Southampton's defense against high balls is not very good. We can start from this aspect in the second half."

"Well, the next tactical adjustment."

Mourinho looked at Chu Feng with relief. If he didn't have a trump card in his hand, he probably wouldn't dare to make such a substitution.

Before going on the field, Chu Feng found Mahrez and said, "When there's a chance, go straight to the penalty area line."

"No problem!" Mahrez agreed readily.

When they saw Chu Feng walking to the kick-off point, everyone in Southampton, from top to bottom, couldn't help but feel nervous.

A person's shadow is the name of a tree.

Which Premier League team dares to ignore Manchester United's No. 7? The second half of the game begins.

Manchester United's midfielder made several passes, advanced into the opponent's half and began to try to attack.

“It’s obviously much better than the first half!”

"Of course, it's definitely not all Chu's fault, there's also Mourinho's midfield adjustments."

"But everyone, take a closer look. After Chu came on the pitch, Manchester United's attack became clearer, as if they had found the core!"

Neville praised without reservation, "And Pogba is also in form."

nonsense.

Mourinho obviously wants to make an example of someone. Although he is childish, he is not a fool.

Let Lingard bear it himself.

54th minute of the game.

Kante's diagonal pass found Mahrez.

"pass!"

Chu Feng wandered around Southampton's central defender and suddenly switched his movement from horizontal to vertical, shattering Southampton's idea of ​​offside.

Fortunately, Yoshida Maya was prepared. He turned around and chased after him with gritted teeth.

But Chu Feng's first three steps were too fast, and he instantly surpassed him by half a body length. He turned back to look at the spinning and falling football, and then turned back to look at the goalkeeper who had left the goal.

"The distance is too short." Chu Feng thought to himself and turned the outside of his foot to touch the ball.

Bang! A rainbow seemed to appear in Southampton's penalty area.

The football passed over Gunn's head, and Chu Feng caught it and pushed it into the goal! Wow!!! Old Trafford burst into loud cheers. Look at this easy goal, and then look at Lukaku's ugly shot in front of the goal.

This is Manchester United! A detailed account of the 12 captains in Manchester United's history, Robson's calmness, Steve's calmness, Cantona's rebelliousness, Keane's fiery temper In a team, the leader often affects the character of the entire team.

When it was Chu Feng's turn, what did he bring to Manchester United? Manchester United fans thought it should be "silence", and only by truly understanding him can you feel the energy contained in his "silence".

This can be seen from Manchester United's performance in the second half.

Staring at Chu Feng who was celebrating wildly, Yoshida Maya revealed a bitter smile. The two of them were completely not on the same level. Once upon a time, he thought that Chu Feng was just a shooting star, who would only be able to shine for a few months.

But he suddenly thought that Van Dijk couldn't defend against Chu Feng, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

After the game resumed, the situation on the field took a drastic turn.

Amid the increasingly loud cheers from Manchester United fans, Manchester United players played more and more toughly and kept the rhythm of the game firmly in their hands.

"Luke Shaw made a cross from the bottom line, Chu Feng headed the ball and it went straight into the blind corner!"

"Score twice!"

"Wow, look at the jump height, half a head taller than Maya Yoshida, worthy of being the Manchester Air Force!"

"In the 76th minute of the game, Manchester United turned the tide!"

“.”

"Manchester United hasn't given up the attack yet. Pogba went straight to Chu, held off Maya Yoshida, turned around and shot. The ball went in again!"

"Chu was on a killing spree today, scoring a hat trick in the second half!"

"A new record was set today, the record for most comebacks in the Premier League!"

"87 times!!!"

"I'm already looking forward to the Champions League in five days. What kind of performance can he bring?!"

final.

At the end of the game, Manchester United defeated Southampton 3:1 at home and won the 29th round.
