What ball king, call me ball god

On February 2, the 14th round of the Premier League ushered in a high-profile matchup, with West Bromwich Albion facing Manchester United at home.Only three days have passed since the Club World Cup final, and Manchester United will embark on the league journey again, facing fierce competition and a heavy schedule.

Due to the heavy schedule, Manchester United has also become full of injuries.Main players such as De Ligt, Luke Shaw, Thomas and De Jong were injured one after another, causing serious damage to Manchester United's lineup.Injuries to key players have severely affected Manchester United's strength and face severe challenges.

In addition to injury problems, the physical fitness of Manchester United players has also been greatly affected.After the semi-finals and finals of the Club World Cup, Lin Kedi was one of the less affected players, but his physical condition was not very ideal either.Considering that in the upcoming Champions League knockout rounds, Manchester United is in the same group as Atletico Madrid, which is also a strong opponent, so Ten Hag decided to rotate in the league to ensure the team's strength and competitiveness.

In this game, Manchester United made a rotation, and Lin Kedi was not included in the squad.In the end, the game ended with Manchester United drawing 3-3.In this round, Manchester City was able to win, and the points gap between the two teams was narrowed to only 3 points, making the competition in the Premier League even more intense and tense.

The 26th round of the Premier League will kick off in a week.Lin Kedi's name appeared on the starting list, which undoubtedly made Manchester United fans feel excited. Lin Kedi has not played in the last few games, and the final result has not been a win.In this crucial game, Manchester United sat at home and faced Newcastle, whose strength should not be underestimated. Lin Kedi finally started.

After the game started, Lin Kedi's appearance made Manchester United's frontcourt offense smooth and smooth.His dribbling, passing and shooting all showed a very high level and contributed greatly to the team's victory.In the end, Manchester United easily defeated their opponent with a big score of 4-0. This victory was inseparable from Lin Kedi's outstanding performance.

Lin Kedi scored two goals in this game and contributed two assists, basically scoring all the goals in this game.His outstanding performance not only won applause from the audience, but also attracted media attention and heated discussion.

After the game, the media praised Lin's performance, and some even boldly predicted that he might break Dixie Dean's single-season league record of 1927 goals set by Dixie Dean in the 28-60 season.In 26 rounds of the league, Lin Kedi has scored 53 goals, and there are still 12 rounds left before the end of the league.It is not difficult for him to score 7 more goals.

The British media began to hype the news that Link will break the 60-goal mark in a single league season this season.This expectation is not groundless. Last season, Lin Kedi's number of league goals was finally fixed at 58, and this season he seems ready to make a comeback and break this record.

On February 2, the English FA Cup round of 22 match came, Manchester United played against West Ham United at home.

Because two days later is the knockout round of the Champions League's top 16, and the opponent is still the powerful Atletico Madrid.

More importantly, just two days ago, Manchester United played a league game. Although Manchester United won the opponent without any blood in that game, playing another game just 2 days later would definitely be a challenge for the main players. It's too much to bear, not to mention that the Champions League game two days later is definitely more important.

So ten Hag decided to rotate again.

After the rotation, Lin Kedi did not appear in the starting lineup. However, for the sake of safety in this game, Lin Kedi was still included in the lineup.

Originally, Ten Hag thought that it would be best not to let Lin Kedi play and let him recover his physical fitness and take more rest. However, the progress of the game made Ten Hag have a difficult time.

The opponent in this game, West Ham United, played very strongly.Until the 80th minute of the game, the score was still 0-0.

Ten Hag has no choice. If it plays overtime, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Therefore, Ten Hahe decided to send Lin Keen to play.

But there was only 10 minutes left for Lin Kedi.

However, the opponent is indeed not strong, but the defense is very good. In the last moment, the best way to break through the dense defense is actually two. One is a cross from the wing and hits the penalty area, and the other is a long shot from the outside.

After Lin Kedi came on the field, he stood in the West Ham United penalty area and waited for his teammates to pass.

The teammate on the right is Perisic.

Perisic also passed a cross that he had passed many times in the previous 80 minutes and lobbed it into the penalty area.

But this time, it was different from the previous 80 minutes.

Lin Kedi jumped up high and hit the ball. Then he flicked the ball with his header and the ball flew into the net.

It's that simple, it's that easy.

Lin Kedi scored with his first touch of the ball 1 minute after coming on.

Manchester United also won the FA Cup round of 1 match 0-16.

After the game, the praise for Lin Kedi was even greater.

Many people regard Manchester United as a team with only one opponent.

2 days later on February 2th.

Madrid, Spain.

Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 match between Atletico Madrid and Manchester United has officially begun.

Atletico Madrid has a 442 formation.

The goalkeeper is Oblak.

The defense from left to right is Hermoso, Felipe, Savic and Llorente.

Two full midfielders, Lemar on the left and Correa on the right.

The two midfielders are Saul and Koke.

Double forward, Suarez on the left and Felix on the right.

Manchester United has a 3241 formation.

The goalkeeper is De Gea.

The three central defenders are Grimaldo, Ruben Dias and Ben White.

Because both Luke Shaw and De Ligt are still recuperating from injuries and are not even included in the squad for this game, today's three-center-back formation can be said to be the first time Manchester United has used such a three-center-back formation this season, and it is also the third time among the three. A joint appearance.

The double defensive midfielders are Guimarães and Achraf.

Guimarães mostly played as a single midfielder last season. After double midfielders this season, they played more as substitutes. If they played with double midfielders, they played more on the right. However, in this game due to Thomas' injury, he He can only play as a defensive midfielder on the left side.

Double attacking midfielder, Rice on the left and Bentancur on the right.De Jong's injury is actually almost healed, but after all, he has just recovered from the injury, so he will definitely not be allowed to play in such an intense game.

The left winger position is Rashford, and the right winger is Richarlison.

Grealish has also just recovered from injury and cannot be rushed to play. Perisic played the entire game in the last game and can only sit on the bench in this game.

The center is Lin Kedi.

From Manchester United's starting set, we can see the impact of the intensive schedule on Manchester United's lineup, but fortunately, Manchester United's bench depth is still quite good.

This can also form a very competitive lineup.

After the game started, both sides were relatively restrained and tested each other.

Atletico Madrid kicked off the first half.

Atletico Madrid's offensive method has not changed over the years, and offensive constipation is real.In La Liga, Atletico Madrid also has the fewest goals among the top six teams.

But in the past, another aspect of Atletico Madrid's lack of goals was that their defense was very fierce.

But since this season, their defense has been tested repeatedly.

Atletico Madrid's two wing defenses did a very poor job in this game.

In the 10th minute, Manchester United made their first effort of the game. Linke moved to the right and changed positions with Rissarisson. After taking the ball, Linke rushed directly towards Hermoso.

Hermoso is 1 meters tall. In fact, logically speaking, he is playing as a full-back and his speed should not be slow. However, as soon as Lin Kedi rushed forward, he discovered that the reaction and speed of the opponent could not keep up at all. Himself, so Lin Kedi originally wanted to seek cooperation with his teammates on the right. However, after seeing the performance of Hermoso on the opposite side, Lin Kedi immediately changed his decision and rushed directly towards Elmoso. Mosuo left.

Felipe almost immediately ran to the left, wanting to help Hermoso, but immediately he realized that if he left the defensive position in the center, the three players in the center of Manchester United might not be able to get in at any time. File?
With such hesitation, Lin Kedi had already arrived in front of Hermoso. Lin Kedi moved his left foot, and Hermoso immediately stepped forward to steal the ball.

"Just wait for this!" As soon as Lin Kedi saw Hermoso's first move, he immediately pushed the arch of his left foot, stopped the ball with his right foot, then stepped forward, and pushed with his right foot again. The enemy's right shoulder sank, and he passed Hermoso's left side. Then, while stopping the ball with his left foot, he lightly moved forward and entered the penalty area.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, Felipe knew he was going to suffer. He looked back and saw Savage rushing into the penalty area.

Then I saw Lin Kedi move his left foot and shoot.

It was too late for Felipe to turn around.

But Savage didn't get close to Lin Kedi at all, and saw Lin Kedi's pocket shot flying into the top corner of the goal.

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak's reaction was not unpleasant, but he still failed to save the shot.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Lin Kedi scored the first goal of the game.

It is also Link's 18th goal in the Champions League this season.

Manchester United's first goal came very early, and the fans couldn't help but look forward to the development of this game.

But what people didn't expect was that after Atletico Madrid lost a goal, instead of attacking aggressively, they defended more firmly.

In the following time, Manchester United had many opportunities, but they often failed to enter the penalty area.

Atletico Madrid's defense seems to be an iron wall that cannot be penetrated.

However, the Manchester United players are not discouraged because they feel that they are leading 1-0 and Atletico Madrid must attack if they want to advance.

But until the end of the game, Atletico Madrid made no major offensive attempts.

The game ended with Manchester United defeating Atletico Madrid 1-0 away from home.

After the game, Atletico Madrid's non-attacking performance also caused widespread discussion.

Atletico Madrid fans and the Spanish media both criticized Atletico Madrid's performance, believing that they had no desire to attack and had disgraced Spanish football.

But these have little to do with Lin Kedi and Manchester United.

Manchester United's upcoming schedule is still very intensive.

Five days after returning to England, it was the 5th round of the Premier League, Chelsea vs. Manchester United.

I don’t know if Chelsea watched the game between Atletico Madrid and Manchester United in this game. From the beginning, they played high-intensity defense.

Lin Kedi also started in this game, but he didn't have any good opportunities throughout the game.

It can also be said that Chelsea's defense was too good.

In the end, the game was tied 0-0.

But unexpectedly, in the same round, Manchester City unexpectedly lost to West Ham United at home.

Originally, the points between the two teams were 3 points. After this back and forth, the points between the two teams increased to 4 points.

March 3, Manchester City vs Manchester United.

The third Manchester derby of the season.

The game was played at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City's home ground.

Manchester City has lost to Manchester United twice in a row this season.

In addition, the two teams are now only 4 points apart, and Manchester City is at home in this game.

Manchester United's recent form has not been very good, so Guardiola is determined to win this game.

In this game, Manchester City deployed the strongest 433 lineup of all main players to deal with it.

Manchester United also has a main lineup of 3241.

The two sides started fighting directly from the first minute.

In an offensive battle, the bayonet is red.

By the 30th minute of the first half, both sides had already taken 5 shots.

But in the second half of the first half, Manchester United's offense gradually gained the upper hand.

In the 40th minute, Manchester United had already had 8 shots.

In the 44th minute, the last minute of the first half, Linke received a long pass from De Ligt in the frontcourt. Linke leaned against Laporte with his back and stopped the ball with his chest. Then he turned around and dialed the ball, swaying Stones away from the side, and directly faced the Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson with the door wide open.

Lin Kedi didn't panic and started to volley.

Right at the top of the arc, a very direct volley shot.

But after the ball was shot, it took an arc. Ederson couldn't react in time and the ball was shot into the net.

1-0, Manchester United, playing away from home, took the lead and took the lead.

Lin Kedi also increased his league goals to 54 goals.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

Manchester City's momentum once surpassed that of Manchester United, and the number of shots shot increased rapidly. By the 70th minute, the number of shots had reached 18 shots. It seemed that a goal was bound to be scored.

But it didn't.

Manchester City was all thunder and no rain, although the number of shots on goal was far higher than Manchester United's 12 goals.

But in the 77th minute, it was Manchester United's 13th shot that scored the goal.

Still Lin Kedi.

A very simple one, Lin Ke stepped in and lobbed the ball from the wing into the middle of the penalty area.

Lin Kedi jumped up easily and rushed to the top to score.

2:0.

Manchester City was busy throughout the game. At the last minute, the number of shots had reached 24, but there was still no goal.

On the contrary, Manchester United finally scored two goals with 15 shots and won the game.

After winning this game, Manchester United continued to widen the points gap between Manchester City and Manchester City, which has widened to 7 points.

Lin Kedi's number of league goals has also reached 55.

Continue to move firmly towards the road of defending the title. (End of chapter)
