Chapter 280: The sixth round of the league countdown, Barcelona and Manchester United meet again after eight years!

After the 32nd round of the Premier League, the ranking of the standings has also changed.

The current top six are: Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Although it is always said that there are no weak teams in the Premier League, the top six places are basically occupied by the BIG6.

After all, modern football is a commercial industry. Without money, you can’t buy good players, and without good players, there will be no good results.

How many years does a miracle like Leicester City happen? Moreover, they created the Fox miracle only after changing their boss.

Four days later, the 33rd round of the Premier League began.

Manchester United once again visit Molineux Stadium.

This made Wolves fans sleep poorly the night before. Didn't the two teams just meet in the FA Cup quarter-finals some time ago? How could they meet again?

The FA's schedule is a mess, some Wolves fans held up a banner that read:

Because Manchester United's next game is in the Champions League, which will take 8 days, Mourinho had no scruples and directly sent out the entire main lineup.

It was similar to the last time we played against Wolves, except that the goalkeeper was replaced by De Gea.

I don’t know if metaphysics really exists, but as long as De Gea stands behind Maguire, he performs extremely steadily.

Not to mention the messy mistakes, the passes were only safe.

This made Romero, who was on the bench, very angry. He complained to Herrera: "Harry deserves death! He ruined my two shutout awards by touching the ball with his hands!"

The look of gritting teeth really shows that he is a little angry.

"It's okay. The main reason is that you two have been partners for too short a time and have not yet developed a good rapport. Wait another two years and Harry will definitely not make the same mistake again!"

Seeing this, the Egyptian political commissar could only comfort him.

"In two years, I will go back to Argentina to retire!"

Romero retorted angrily.

Coincidentally, Chu Feng received the ball at the front of the penalty area, turned around and shot the ball into the Wolves' goal.

Herrera stood up and celebrated loudly, while also changing the topic to another aspect.

"Do you think we can win against Barcelona?"

"I am still quite confident. We have never lost against Barcelona at Old Trafford!"

Phil Jones is an old Red Devil and is very familiar with various data.

"But that's Messi. If you were to defend him, wouldn't you be afraid?"

Political Commissar Egypt said casually.

Because he previously played for Athletic Bilbao, he had played against Messi quite a few times and he also understood how strong Messi was.

To be honest, he felt it was difficult with Phil Jones' level.

"Who said I was going to defend Messi?"

Phil Jones was very confused and asked, "Kante should go! He has a fast pace and accurate kicks. Even if he can't stop Messi, he can definitely make Messi uncomfortable! Isn't our tactical goal achieved?"

"What you said does make sense." Political Commissar E nodded in approval.

Then, he slapped his thigh again, "Besides, we still have Chu!"

"From an objective point of view, I don't think he is worse than Messi!"

"From a subjective point of view, I think he is better than Messi!"

The players on the Manchester United bench all rolled their eyes.

Do I need to tell you about this?

In the 65th minute of the second half, loud cheers broke out again from the away stands.

Chu Feng headed the ball after receiving Maguire's long pass, and Mahrez stopped and dribbled past the defender, then pushed the ball into the left side of the goal with his left foot to change the score to 0:2.

Next, Mourinho made a substitution, replacing Chu Feng with young player Greenwood, giving the young man a chance to grow.

But unfortunately, no goal was scored afterwards.

Manchester United created a lot of opportunities, but Greenwood was far behind Chu Feng in terms of scoring in front of the goal or breaking through.

Manchester United fans were not too harsh on this.

After all, it’s not that Greenwood is too weak, but that Chu Feng is too strong.

In the end, Manchester United took away three points from Molineux Stadium and continued to maintain second place in the standings.

At the same time as this game ended, Manchester City played against Cardiff City, and there were no surprises.

Manchester City easily won 2-0.

De Bruyne and Sane each scored a goal, with the latter ranking second in the scorer list, only 4 goals away from Chu Feng.

Don't think that 4 goals are a lot. You have to know that Manchester City never shows mercy when bullying weak teams, and they will score 6:1, 7:0 and so on from time to time. Burnley and Southampton are living examples.

If Sane is in hot form and has good luck, he may be able to tie the game or even overtake the opponent in one game.

However, Manchester United fans were not too nervous, because they knew Chu Feng's characteristics. Steady rise, and strong in the latter part! From the odds given by the bookmakers, we can also see that they are most optimistic about Chu Feng defending the league's Golden Boot Award.

After getting three points today, the Manchester United players discussed and decided to have a small gathering, so they came to Tianwaitian in the city again.

On the one hand, it is a reward for the hard work in the past period of time, and on the other hand, it is to cheer for the Champions League quarter-finals.

Taking advantage of the free time before the food was served, everyone chatted idly, and the topic was naturally the upcoming encounter with Barcelona.

"N'Golo, didn't you defend Messi alone during last year's World Cup?"

Rashford showed a sly smile, and it was obvious that he was joking.

Who knew that Kanter actually believed it and quickly waved his hands to indicate that it was not true, "No, no, we did it together."

This is not intentional modesty on his part.

If you watch the video of that game, you will find that Messi broke through many times, but the French team had players to make timely defense every time.

This is the key point of defense.

"Brothers, I think you are focusing on the wrong thing. We shouldn't be thinking about how to defend."

Chu Feng cleared his throat and continued, "Attack! Barcelona's defense line is Roberto, Pique, Lenglet and Alba."

"Except for Pique, the other players' individual defense ability is not strong enough."

"If it's me and Riyad in the frontcourt, we can definitely suppress their defense"

As Chu Feng was talking, he felt like something was missing, so he took out a whiteboard from his bag and began to explain tactics to his teammates.

"Also, Barcelona's midfield is weak in terms of athleticism."

"Therefore, we attack as far as possible from the left, with the aim of stretching the Barcelona defense and pulling Busquets out."

"At this time, if we fight back and attack Rakitic, we can directly connect the midfield and the front line."

“.”

The tactics are simple and not complicated, but the execution is certainly not simple, which sounds like nonsense.

But that's indeed the truth.

Besides, Manchester United’s defense is only okay, and it is still far from the top level in football.

Barcelona's forward line of Messi, Suarez and Coutinho, the first two are the top two scorers in La Liga respectively.

Also on the bench are Dembele, Malcolm and others.

The offensive end is definitely top in Europe.

So, instead of using defensive counterattacks to attack Barcelona, ​​it is better to be more direct and attack offensively! !

See who breaks the opponent's defense first.

The Manchester United players gradually fell into deep thought and did not come back to their senses until the meal was served.

Herrera gave a thumbs up and praised: "Chu, you will be the coach in the future, and I will be your assistant coach!"

"This is not my idea, it's the boss's!"

Chu Feng said with a smile.

Even now, he still maintains his previous habit of reviewing with Mourinho after important games.

Because although football emphasizes physical strength, tactics are also very important.

De Gea joked: "We are so envious of you going into the boss' office every day!"

Everyone in Manchester United knows the relationship between the two, it can’t even be described as master and apprentice.

Sometimes as players, they are indeed very envious, but if they really go, there are always many reasons.

Being scolded is uncomfortable, and insisting on reviewing is too tiring. "Hurry up and eat, or it will be unpalatable if it gets cold."

Wen Shichu brought another plate of steamed sea bass, and his eyes were full of satisfaction when he looked at Chu Feng.

From Chu Feng entering Manchester United's youth training camp, to being promoted to the first team and winning the Premier League Golden Boot, he was also a witness and felt a little emotional at this moment.

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

"Uncle Wen, sit down and eat together."

Chu Feng posted a dynamic video and spoke to Wen Shichu.

A drop of water should be repaid with a spring.

Uncle Wen gave him a lot of help in the past, but now that he has achieved success in his career, Uncle Wen refuses to return the favor.

Chu Feng could only use his own way to promote Tianwaitian on his account or introduce his teammates to him.

"Xiao Chu, please stop promoting it. I, your uncle Wen, am over 60 years old and don't have much pursuit of money."

"Now I just want to watch you win more championships as a Manchester United fan."

Wen Shichu said helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'll kill Barca just for this spicy shredded chicken!"

Before Chu Feng could speak, Maguire answered first.

He simply didn't like the food here very much.

"Okay, okay, eat more. There are still a few dishes."

Wen Shichu was all smiles.

When the dinner was about to end, Chu Feng picked up his phone and took a look. It was the 31st round of the La Liga. Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 2:0, leading Atletico Madrid by 11 points.

Basically locked in the league title.

In this game, Messi and Suarez scored a goal each, but the most eye-catching one was the French guy - Dembele!

His contribution on both offense and defense is extremely important, greatly alleviating the pressure on the wing.

"This Dembele is quite strong, will he start?"

Ashley Young was a little worried.

Chu Feng showed a strange expression when he heard this, because according to his understanding before his rebirth, Dembele was similar to Sterling and was also a representative of happy football.

"It doesn't matter, if you play as a left-back, you will only face Messi and Rakitic."

Chu Feng shrugged.

"Only Chu, you are so brave to say that!"

Ashley Young covered his face and wailed.

Chu Feng's smile disappeared when he heard that. According to his memory before his rebirth, in that game, Ashley Young had 11 crosses blocked by Messi, with a 0% success rate, and he lost the ball 32 times in the whole game.

Manchester United played badly in that game and even set three records overnight -

The first time in 14 years that there were no shots on target in the Champions League.

This season they have only won one home game in the Champions League.

The team with the most own goals in the Champions League history.

"Don't be too nervous, just treat it as a contract year."

Chu Feng said in a relaxed tone.

Since the backcourt can't hold up against Barcelona, ​​then put enough pressure on the frontcourt to make Barcelona have no energy to attack! Everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed. No one went to the nightclub for a second game because they had a strong enemy in front of them.

As the old saying goes: "Pressure makes people diligent."

In the following days, daily training and tactical explanations were boring. —— Approaching the Champions League quarter-finals, at the Joan Gamper training base.

Barcelona players were playing a competition, Valverde was watching from the sidelines, his brows furrowed more and more.

Barcelona had a decisive battle with Atletico Madrid a few days ago, while Manchester United had a whole week of rest, plus there is an age gap between them.

Manchester United has a great advantage in physical fitness.

Therefore, when playing at home, they still have to pass and control the ball, first wear down Manchester United's edge, and then send the ball to Messi's feet.

As for whether he can score a goal? Valverde is not too worried because he believes Messi is the world's top superstar and the best football player! No one can stop him.

At this moment on the green field, Dembele's movements were a little too big when defending Messi.

Assistant coach Todibo immediately blew the whistle: "Osman, don't touch Rio when you're playing against him. What if he gets hurt?"

Dembele could only nod sullenly.

Before he got involved in professional football, he had never seen similar rules. It was only after he joined Barcelona that his eyes were opened.

Can't touch Then what's the point of training? We are all the same, why is Messi so precious? After the training, several people walked on the road.

"Gerald, are you sure you can defend Chu?"

Langley asked quietly.

Anyway, he has no confidence at all. He can feel the strong impact just by watching the video.

How strong will he be in a head-on confrontation? "Don't think he's that scary. I watched the games between Manchester United and Liverpool, and he is indeed one of the top strikers in Europe."

Pique looked down at his crotch and changed the subject: "But I'm not afraid of him in a one-on-one situation, because I can see through all the fake moves!"

Umtiti next to him curled his lips, thinking that everyone can brag! In the 2012-13 Champions League, Pique told the media: "If there is a team that can reverse Bayern, it is Barcelona!"

The result? Pique's defense collapsed and conceded three goals!

This guy can become famous, isn't it because his passing and controlling skills are suitable for Barcelona's tactical system? Anyway, Umtiti doesn't believe that Pique is that good.

Alba next to him advised: "Gerrard, you'd better be careful. Sometimes he can get past the defender with a simple acceleration."

"Yeah." Pique finally restrained himself a little.

Messi listened to his teammates' discussions and inexplicably thought of last season's Champions League.

If they had not been killed by the big gift package, they should have met Manchester United in the semi-finals, and perhaps the two sides would have been able to determine the winner at that time.

This season, Chu Feng's strength has improved again. "Leo, you have scored 33 goals in the league, only one goal away from that kid. You will definitely surpass him in the next game!"

Seeing that his teammates ignored him, Pique turned around and looked for Messi.

"I'll try my best."

Messi nodded.

His goal this season is the Ballon d'Or, so he must have enough honors. The league and Spanish Super Cup alone are definitely not enough.

Even if we don't win the Champions League, we have to at least be in the semi-finals.

Therefore, Chu Feng is regarded by him as the biggest competitor and he must be stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

Amid the complicated thoughts of the players of both teams, the time came to April 11th.

The Champions League quarter-finals are about to begin!
