Chapter 96 Benitez’s Newcastle United

The next day, the 13th round of the Premier League ended, and reports from major media were issued.

"Man City 2-1 Huddersfield, although their form has declined, they still won and continue to lead the standings! 》

"Manchester United struggled to win the newly promoted team, and their defensive problems were gradually exposed! 》

"Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea, hope of winning the title becomes increasingly slim!" 》

"Arsenal 1-0 Burnley, the Gunners are gradually finding themselves and grabbing as many points as possible before spring!" 》

"."

The victory of the Manchester City duo greatly disappointed the rest of the club's fans. After all, if the two brothers do not lose the game, it will be very difficult for them to get back to the top of the standings.

With Manchester City's domineering attitude, I am afraid there is a 100% chance of winning the championship.

要知道目前全世界的只有三家俱乐部上演过百分夺冠的戏码，他们分别是11-12赛季的皇马，12-13赛季的巴萨和13-14赛季的尤文。

There are no Premier League clubs among them, which shows how difficult it is to win 100%.

Not only do they have to overcome injuries that occur during a long season, but they also have to adjust the lineup in multi-line operations, which is a big challenge for the head coach and players.

Manchester United's game was stumbling, and the bench was not deep enough. Even though Mourinho had 100% experience in winning championships, not many fans were optimistic about them.
-

[Manchester United should have no problem playing Newcastle United, but if they play against Arsenal away from home in early December, I estimate they will suffer their first defeat of the season! 】
-

[Manchester United has too many problems in its defense. "Leaky" often makes mistakes, Bailly is bedridden, and Rojo has not recovered from his injury. It is so miserable! 】
-

[Now we are relying on De Gea to barely support us. If De Gea is not in good condition, the defense will probably collapse. 】
-

[Let’s see if there will be reinforcements in the winter window. It stands to reason that Manchester United is not short of wingers now and should have money to buy defensive players. 】
-

[I feel bad. I heard that San Dezi is planning to reduce investment and tap talents from the youth training. 】
-

[Also, the people Mourinho asked to buy did not perform very well, which gave Santoku a crisis of confidence. 】
-

[Oil guys are still rich. Look at who Manchester City wants to buy next door, and they don’t even ask about the price! 】

Soon the 14th round of the Premier League officially started, and Manchester United faced Newcastle United at home.

Old Trafford was packed with people.

Manchester United fans come with great expectations to cheer their team and hope to witness another victory.

And today's game also has extraordinary significance.

Manchester United is currently unbeaten in 39 consecutive home games, and is only 43 games away from Juventus' record of 4 unbeaten home games in the five major leagues.

Real Madrid almost broke this record last season, but in the end it stopped at 40 games unbeaten and unfortunately lost to Barcelona.

Now whether Manchester United can tie or break the record has become a key concern of the majority of fans.

Soon the starting lineups of both sides were released.

Manchester United is still in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which has not changed much from the previous round.

Newcastle United deployed a 4-4-2 formation.

It is worth mentioning that the current head coach of Newcastle United is Benitez. He has coached Liverpool, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea and has won many honors.

Speaking of which, Benitez and Mourinho have a deep connection.

Since the red-blue war more than ten years ago, the two have often secretly competed on the sidelines, and later evolved into fierce scoldings.

So today's pre-match press conference was extremely lively.

"Mourinho likes to talk a lot, but I like to tell the truth. When I was at Liverpool, the value of players was less than half that of Chelsea, but we still knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League twice."

"After Benitez joined Liverpool, how many Premier League titles has he won? Not once! Besides, I have never brought the team to relegation. This is really an 'honor' that is difficult to achieve."

The level of "venomous tongue" between the two is not low, and they also take over each other's plans. They are destined opponents.

The game soon started at the referee's whistle.

Manchester United players want to continue their unbeaten record at home, while Newcastle United players don't want to be the backdrop.

Therefore, the green field is full of gunpowder, and the players' movements are getting larger and larger.

Judging from the scene, Benitez's tactics have the advantage. The two forwards in the frontcourt did not press the Manchester United central defender and gave up the high position pressing. Instead, they closely defended Pogba and Matic and restricted the two from advancing forward.

The midfielders and full-backs boldly pressed forward to assist the full-midfielders in completing the side blockade and cutting off the connection between Manchester United's wings and forwards.

The game went to the 14th minute.

Chu Feng received the ball from the wing and rushed forward quickly, but was quickly interfered by Richie from the side. As a result, he was unable to control the football, and Yedlin took the opportunity to complete the steal.

The latter crossed forward at high speed and then passed the ball low. Gale outflanked and pushed the ball and hit the left goal post and bounced into the net.

0-1!

The away stands suddenly burst into loud cheers. Newcastle fans have seen the dawn of victory. They will defeat the Manchester City duo in succession to declare their strong return.

"Good job!"

"If we play like this, Manchester United will only defend and wait for the opponent to make mistakes, so they can't beat us!"

Benitez waved his arms excitedly and raised his eyebrows to the side.

Last season, he led Newcastle to dive into the English Championship, but was often ridiculed by Mourinho. Now that he finally has the opportunity to fight back, he naturally cannot let it go.

But what disappointed him was that Mourinho ignored it.

"my question."

Chu Feng said with a slight annoyance that he seemed to have not entered the game state yet, causing his movements to be half a beat slower.

"It's okay, don't take it to heart, just adjust!"

Lukaku, Mata and others expressed their condolences.

Judging from their expressions, they didn't take it to heart, because Manchester United has reversed the score many times this season and is no longer too frustrated by falling behind.

And they often feel that Chu Feng is too calm and never seems to make mistakes, which is more or less unreal.

But you must know that Chu Feng has just turned 18 years old.

Chu Feng patted his thigh, refocused his pupils, and raised his attention to the highest level.

After the game restarts.

Manchester United began to speed up, with Chu Feng, Lukaku and Rashford attacking in a straight line.

Pogba can send the ball to his teammates during confrontation.

Only 8 minutes had passed since Newcastle scored.

After Chu Feng received Pogba's pass from the wing, he suddenly picked up speed for two consecutive bicycles, using his explosive power to eat up the defensive players.

Send a cross with your left foot near the baseline.

At this time, Lukaku, Pogba and Rashford lined up in the penalty area to grab points. The first two attracted the attention of most defensive players.

Rashford, who was in the back post, seized the opportunity to swing his head and smash the ball into the goal.

1-1!

The roles on the sidelines suddenly changed, with Mourinho waving his arms in celebration and Benitez falling silent.
