Chapter 504 Bloodthirsty Red Devil
The Manchester United people have no time to lick their wounds, because they will soon usher in the 36th round of the Premier League.

Every game today is a battle of life and death for Manchester United.If you are not careful, you will say goodbye to a champion.

In the previous game against Newcastle, Ferguson played with a substitute lineup, but was defeated by his opponent, thus missing this year's FA Cup champion.

In the first round of the Champions League semi-final knockout match with AC Milan, Ferguson decided to gamble again. As a result, this relatively young Manchester United was not able to grasp the opportunity. When the scene was dominant, they lost 0:2 at the feet of AC Milan.

Although there is still a second round, the possibility of Manchester United wanting to reverse the promotion is really too small.

Under such circumstances, the only important Champions League that the Premier League champions can compete for is the Premier League.

The situation is still not optimistic for Manchester United in the battle for the Premier League title.With 4 rounds left in the league, Manchester United is 5 points behind Chelsea, who have played one more game.

In the last 4 league games, each game is extremely critical.Once there is a mistake, it is likely to lose hope of winning the league championship.

Naturally, Ferguson doesn't want the team to change from the glorious Triple Crown last season to a three-none team that only won a tasteless League Cup.So even though he knew that four days later, the final life-and-death battle with AC Milan at Old Trafford, he still sent out the strongest team in his hand for this game as a guest at Charlton.

Carroll replaced Howard's starting goalkeeper, O'Shea and Sylvester returned to the starting lineup, and Ferdinand and Evra formed the defense.In the midfield, Yin Jun partnered with Roy Keane, Scholes and Giggs, and the four formed a diamond-shaped position.

Manchester United rewritten the score to 4:0, while Yin Jun staged a hat-trick, and the number of league goals this season rose to 25 goals!
………………

Stimulated by consecutive goals, the Manchester United players' condition was so good that they beat the home team at the Valley Stadium.Charlton, on the other hand, was beaten so dizzy in front of nearly [-] home teams that he was completely powerless to fight back.

Even domestic fans who watched the game couldn't stand it anymore, and many fans began to feel grateful for Zheng Zhi.

The main central defender of the Chinese team was absent today due to injury. Before the game, many domestic fans regretted that they could not see the Chinese derby between Yin Jun and Zheng Zhi. Now they no longer think so.They were thinking, if Zheng Zhi had been present, Charlton would have been beaten so badly that he would have been psychologically disturbed by the beating.

Just when the fans were thinking this way, Manchester United scored again.

In the 62nd minute, Smith single-handedly scored another goal for Manchester United.He pressed Charlton defender Jonathan Fortune in the frontcourt, and after a successful one-handed breakthrough, he calmly pushed and scored from 20 yards in the middle.

After leading 6:0, Ferguson finally decided to stop.He successively replaced Yin Jun, Keane and Scholes, the three core midfielders, to reserve strength for the life-and-death battle in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in the middle of next week.

In the end, Manchester United slaughtered Charlton 6-0 in the away game, and continued to chase Chelsea by 2 points, retaining the hope of winning the Premier League.
