Chapter 41: Against Burton
The next day.
The fifth round of the Premier League has all ended, and major media have reported the results one after another.
The most noteworthy of them are the two Manchester City giants.
Manchester City 6-0 Watford.
On the offensive end, De Bruyne turned into a midfield commander, frequently sending deadly through passes as if he had a God's perspective.
Aguero scored a hat-trick, while Jesus, Sterling and Otamendi each scored a goal.
On the defensive line, Stones, who is only 24 years old, not only has almost no loopholes in 1-on-1 defense.
He also has a strong ability to fill in for positions, and has made great progress in his control of the ball and passing to create opportunities.
After the verification of the first five rounds of the Premier League, Guardiola's advanced ideas seem to be more perfectly integrated into Manchester City, making it the strongest contender for the Premier League title this season.
Looking at Manchester United's 3-0 victory over Everton, it seems just like that, nothing to be proud of.
At this time, Chinese fans naturally also saw the push messages of this round of results, the most prominent of which was "Shock, our young player Chu Feng".
So they couldn't wait to open the comment area and express their opinions. - [Manchester City is now at the top of the standings, and they have a better goal difference.] - [Chelsea tied with Arsenal, Tottenham tied with Swansea, Liverpool tied with Burnley, what's going on?] - [The tactical adjustments at the beginning of the season were too big, and it is normal that the results are poor. Moreover, the Premier League depends on the performance of the entire season. It is possible that you stay at the top of the standings for 248 days and get kicked down in the last month.] - [Manchester United played quite well in this game, especially Chu Feng's performance was so eye-catching that it made me feel unreal.] - [Yes, it's only been a few games, and he has already scored two goals and made two assists. Can he be a regular starter?] - [First of all, let's put on a resurrection armor. I think Chu Feng's strength is not enough. First, from a tactical perspective, Manchester United sacrificed the offensive intensity of the center and the right wing in this game to help Chu Feng create a one-on-one situation in the rib area. Second, the player Martina who was facing him was not of high level, and he was not the main winger in Everton. Third, Everton's three-back system tactics magnified the weakness of its own wing. Combined with the above reasons, Chu Feng can have such an excellent performance. 】 - 【In the Premier League, there are many players who performed very well in the early stage, and then suddenly fell off a cliff, because they were studied thoroughly by others. 】 - 【Anyway, Chu Feng has played beautifully in recent games, and he is also constantly improving. I am still optimistic about his future. 】 - 【Don't worry about it, just brag! 】 - 【Looking forward to Xiao Chu's Champions League debut. It has been six years since the last Chinese appeared in the Champions League! 】 - 【There are no Chinese people who have scored in the Champions League yet, right? 】 - 【No men, but there are women. 】 - 【In fact, in the 13th Europa League, Wang Chu scored one goal in each of the two qualifying matches for Esch Youth. 】 - 【It's a pity that his former teammates Mane are now in Liverpool and Pjanic is in Rome. They both have a bright future. 】
Chinese fans suddenly became a little worried, fearing that Chu Feng would follow in their footsteps.
After all, he is the only player in the Premier League, and judging from his current performance, his potential is even greater than that of Wang Chu back then.
If it really breaks. At the same time.
Carrington training base.
Ibrahimovic and Mourinho stood on the sidelines, chatting while watching the Manchester United players who were training on the green field.
Chu Feng glanced at his teammates and found that they seemed to have become more serious and completed every action meticulously.
He thought about it carefully and realized that he seemed to have heard a piece of gossip when he was in the youth team.
Pogba was late for training one day and was scolded by Ibrahimovic. From then on, he became well-behaved.
A proper supervisor!
Chu Feng thought that the atmosphere in Manchester United's locker room was so gentle at the moment, and the biggest credit should go to Ibrahimovic.
First of all, he has multiple identities.
Manchester United's big brother, Mourinho's good friend, and Pogba are both players under Raiola.
In addition, Ibrahimovic is used to establishing his authority in the locker room to play a positive guiding role, which makes the other players very convinced.
This enables him to coordinate the relationship among the four parties very well.
The most important reason why Mourinho is in a hurry to urge Ibrahimovic to return is to stabilize the locker room and make it easier for him to implement tactics.
Some time ago, he asked Pogba to play as an organizing midfielder, but the latter was obviously unhappy and the two almost had a conflict again.
"Announcing the starting lineup for the EFL Cup match against Burton the day after tomorrow."
Seeing that the training was over, Mourinho shouted twice to gather all the players together.
He is well aware that with Manchester United's current bench depth, it is almost an impossible task to fight on three fronts: the Champions League, the league and the Carabao Cup.
If you really insist on doing it your own way, you will probably end up picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, or even get nothing in the end.
So he chose to send out a rotation lineup, just in time for Luke Shaw and Smalling, who had returned from injury, to find their form.
As for Ibrahimovic, he would rather give the opponent more time to recover than risk him getting injured again.
Even if the opponent is just a Championship team.
When Chu Feng heard his name, he clenched his fist slightly to celebrate.
He is still three goals and three assists away from completing the system mission.
But United only have four games left in September, against Burton, CSKA Moscow, Southampton and Crystal Palace.
It would be best if he could get the system reward this month.
Since it is October now, there are two weeks of international match days, which allows me to practice more and quickly improve my personal strength.
Moreover, Manchester United will face Liverpool and Benfica, two strong opponents, in the league and the Champions League respectively.
The importance of the Double Red Meeting goes without saying.
The century-long hatred between Liverpool and Manchester City has turned the two clubs into complete enemies.
They will definitely all give it their all.
As long as he can seize this opportunity, it will be just a matter of time before he can secure the position of main winger.
After Mourinho announced the roster, he talked about some tactical arrangements and ended today's training.
As usual, Chu Feng first went to the office to hand in his game review assignment, and then went to find Carrick to practice long passes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
that's all.
In addition to strictly implementing the training plan every day, he also fine-tuned the plan based on the increase in attribute values to make it more suitable for himself.
September 21st soon arrived.
Carabao Cup fourth round.
Manchester United vs Burton!
Due to the obvious gap in strength between the two sides, the outcome has long been a mystery.
Manchester United took control of the game from the start.
Chu Feng made several consecutive bicycle kicks, got rid of Burton's full-back, and crossed the ball to the middle from the left side of the penalty area.
Rashford, who was placed in the center forward position, pushed the ball into the far corner and scored easily.
But this is just the beginning.
12 minutes later.
Carrick made a precise long pass and found Blind who was running forward on the wing, who assisted Rashford to score another goal.
The Burton players were obviously a little confused, which made it possible for the Manchester United players to play more smoothly and cooperate more with each other.
Near the end of the first half.
Rashford seemed to have found his form, passing the ball to Lingard with his back, who easily shot the ball into the goal.
In the second half, Manchester United continued to attack.
60th minute of the game.
Chu Feng cut in from the wing, made a wall pass with Rashford, broke into the penalty area, shook off the goalkeeper and shot into the empty goal to score.
Then Mourinho started making a lot of substitutions.
In the 87th minute of the game, Burton took advantage of Manchester United's inattention and scored a face-saving goal.
final.
Manchester United 4-1 Burton.
