Chapter 542 Across Newcastle, 10 Consecutive Victories!

"Go beyond Newcastle and win ten consecutive victories!" Before the match against Newcastle United, the "Manchester Evening News" cheered for Manchester United. "The only one who can stop Manchester United is myself."

The spiritual leader Shearer has retired, and the main goalkeeper Given is also injured. Against Newcastle United, which has softened a lot, Ferguson does not dare to be careless at all, because this team also has a very strong midfielder. Milner has become famous at a young age. Butt is an old man from Manchester United, Parker has just joined the national team, Emre is from Inter Milan, not to mention Duff, such a midfielder makes people wary of three-pointers just by looking at their reputation.

After playing Newcastle United, most of Manchester United's players will have to report to the national team to play one or two games. Naturally, Ferguson has a lot to think about.

Making appropriate rotations while ensuring victory is Ferguson's best choice.

Therefore, Ferguson has put together a lineup that has been relatively unfamiliar recently. When the starting lineup was announced, it really shocked the media and Manchester United fans.

Goalkeeper: Kutzsak

Defenders: Brown, Sylvester, Pique, Richardson

Midfielder: Fletcher, Modric, Smith

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Solskjaer, Giggs

That's right, all the previous starting players in the Champions League, except for Modric and Ronaldo, have taken turns, and most of them are sitting on the bench.

"Can this lineup really win Newcastle? Is Sir Alex Ferguson really not playing with fire?"

The fans were really shocked when they saw the starting lineup.

"Is Solskjaer really good? He is the starting center at the age of 33."

"Silvesite plays as the main central defender, why do I feel so uncertain?"

"Is this giving Chelsea a chance?"

Newcastle last won at Old Trafford in February 1972. Manchester United has defeated Newcastle in the past 5 games in a row and remains unbeaten in the past 10 games with 9 wins and 1 draw. The two sides have met in 26 games in the Premier League, with Manchester United having the upper hand with 15 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses. Among them, Manchester United has an obvious advantage with 8 wins and 5 draws at home. There have been 136 league matches between the two sides, with Manchester United having the upper hand with 65 wins, 33 draws and 38 losses. Former Manchester United midfielder Butt replaced Martins in the starting lineup to face the old club.

Lineker also expressed concern.

"Sir Alex was playing high again, Dong was on the bench, and he chose to trust Solskjaer. In fact, he could have tried using Rooney, but he went to extremes." Rebirth of the Double-Faced Beauty

"Although the history of fighting Newcastle is very glorious, Newcastle this season is not weak. Parker, Emre, Butt, Milner, Duff... the names are a bit scary when I think about it. Fortunately, Owen is injured, otherwise I would I can’t imagine Sylvester and young Pique being able to watch it?”

"However, Sir Alex Ferguson did not rotate Modric, which shows that Modric's position in the midfield is very important. Cristiano Ronaldo also did not leave the game. Manchester United cannot lack this dribbling madman."

beep,

Game start.

Then Manchester United quickly dispelled everyone's doubts. Although the main lineup did not appear, Manchester United controlled the game.

Pique launched a long pass at the beginning, and Modric, who suddenly moved forward, got a chance, but his cross from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Craig Moore in time.

In the 10th minute, Modric made a long pass from the backcourt.

Taylor missed the ball and almost gave Rossi a chance, but Harper struck in time to pluck the ball over Giggs' head. At this time, Giggs was really annoyed that he was not tall enough...

The two sides fought fiercely. Although Manchester United occupied 72.1% of the ball at home, neither side could make a difference in offense.

"With Dong absent, the burden of scoring goals falls on the veteran Solskjaer, but can he do it?"

But Solskjaer soon responded.

In the 15th minute, Harper rushed out of the penalty area in time to make a clearance before Solskjaer. Manchester United almost took the lead in the 16th minute. Giggs took a corner kick from the left. Solskjaer's header from 8 yards was headed over the crossbar by Harper with one hand.

Solskjaer almost changed the score twice in a row, and then Ronaldo began to wreak havoc on Newcastle on the right, and no one could resist his breakthrough. Although Manchester United has not yet scored a goal, the Red Devils' frontcourt passes are as high as 73.1%, which is 1 percentage point higher than before!

"Did the quality of Manchester United change after playing Barcelona? It's hard to imagine that the substitutes played so well!"

Manchester United missed the opportunity again in the 26th minute. Solskjaer, Ronaldo and Giggs passed the ball continuously on the run. Fletcher hit the left post with a right foot shot from 20 yards in the middle.

Newcastle's first shot came in the 27th minute. Emre passed the ball and Milner's left-footed low shot from 24 yards from the right was confiscated by Edwin van der Sar. What a tragedy. The so-called famous players on the field simply cannot perform. Play hard to get ① The CEO’s husband is such a scoundrel!

Manchester United finally took the lead in the 40th minute. Giggs took a tactical corner kick from the left. Cristiano Ronaldo passed two people from the left and then shot hard from 25 yards in the middle. The ball hit the right post and bounced in front of the goal. The unguarded Solskjaer shot into the empty net from 7 yards. This is also the Norwegian's first goal in a whole year!

In the stoppage time of the first half, Manchester United once again expanded the score. Steven Taylor's header was stopped by Modric at the top of the penalty area. Modric's 19-yard shot from the center hit Solskjaer and then deflected. The ball went into the net close to the right post and eventually went to Solskjaer.

"The game is over..."

Yes, the game ended early. Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney didn't have to come up. Manchester United, with two goals in hand, was safe.

"Although Ferguson made extensive rotations, Modric and Ronaldo were on the court, which allowed Manchester United to always maintain a sufficient advantage."

After the start of the second half, Ronaldo continued to show off his power in both halves, and Manchester United's offensive was overwhelming. In the 55th minute, Giggs made a diagonal pass to the left rib of the penalty area. Ronaldo faced Carl's fake move from 8 yards and then pushed the shot into the near corner, changing the score to 3:0.

In the 64th minute, Modric passed the ball. Ronaldo passed Karl and then broke into the left side of the penalty area from 10 yards and shot into the far corner. The score was 4:0.

Then Rooney and Rossi came on to replace Giggs and Solskjaer respectively, but neither of them scored.

Manchester United had a ball possession rate of 67.5%, a pass success rate of 83.5%, and a frontcourt pass success rate of 78.4%...

"Manchester United is so scary!"

"Hey, Ronaldo has scored more goals in the league than Dong?"

Ten consecutive wins, excellent quality.

Dong Fangzhuo did not get a chance to play for a minute, and Manchester United finally played a high-quality game without him.

Shortly after the game, he packed his bags and went to London. There, he met up with Sun Jihai and Zheng Zhi, and flew back to China together.

Although he was called up for the Asian Cup qualifiers, the main purpose of this trip was to shoot an advertisement for the national team.

The national team's performance has been strong recently, and the Football Association also wants to take this opportunity to promote football. Taking advantage of the Asian Cup qualifiers, it simply brings back all overseas players...
