Chapter 409 Eight consecutive wins in the Premier League! Manchester United and Barcelona!
"Congratulations on completing the first hat trick of your career. And it was done in an important game like the Double Red Club. How do you feel now?"
As the best player in the game, Ling Feng is already familiar with the post-game interview.
However, this is the first time he has been interviewed after a game while holding the game ball.
Faced with reporters’ questions, Ling Feng also smiled:
"First of all, helping the team win is the happiest thing for me. I have said it since the first day I joined, I am here for victory and championships!"
"As for the hat trick, I didn’t think too much about it because I’m a midfielder and I prefer assisting my teammates rather than scoring goals myself.”
“Of course, being able to score my first career hat-trick, for me. Very important. I want to thank my teammates who played with me, as well as the coaches on the sidelines and the fans in the stands. Without them, we would not have taken away the precious three points and the game ball from Anfield"
"Zlatan? Maybe in the eyes of the outside world, he is a bit difficult to get along with. But in my opinion, he is a very friendly big brother and a legend in football! In him , I learned a lot. I am of course grateful to him for giving me the penalty."
"It was definitely a very exciting and very difficult game. Liverpool was very well prepared and gave us a lot. Trouble"
While Ling Feng was being interviewed, Mourinho, dressed in an Armani trench coat, suddenly burst into the camera, then hugged Ling Feng and said seriously to the camera:
"This Boy, he is an incredible genius!"
"He is so awesome!"
"The whole world should know this!"
After that, Murry Neo kissed Ling Feng directly on the head and left quickly.
The whole process fully reflected Mourinho's personal character.
Bohemian, go your own way!
Ling Feng just smiled, smoothed his slightly messy black hair, and then said to the reporter:
"What a funny man, isn't he?"
After this short episode was broadcast, it quickly attracted the attention of Manchester United fans, and the number of views on YouTube soared like a rocket.
The team's head coach and the team's stars seem so close and cooperative, which is enough to see the good atmosphere of the team.
This makes Manchester United fans and supporters very happy.
The next day, gossip tabloids such as "Manchester", "Daily Mail", "The Times" and "The Sun" all reported on this ups and downs of the Double Red Club.
The cover of almost all media and newspapers is a photo of Ling Feng standing at Anfield, silently celebrating!
"Anfield, shut up!"
"Silence is Anfield tonight"
"Double red meeting, the Red Devils had the last laugh again."
Ling Feng, who beat Liverpool with his first career goal hat trick, Naturally, he became the absolute protagonist of this game.
In addition to scoring goals, his statistics are also very eye-catching:
Four key passes in the game!
There were nine passes in the game, eight of which were successful!
Five shots and three goals scored!
Manchester United fans all believe that if it weren't for Ling Feng, they would never have escaped unscathed or even scored three points.
For a time, a large number of fans flocked to Ling Feng's social media and expressed their love wildly under his tweets.
Manchester United’s famous players also came out to enhance their presence and praised the Red Devils hero:
"This is the Red Devils on horseback!" - Gary Neville
"With Manchester United's state and Lingfeng's state, I finally have a feeling that we can win the championship this year! And this is too much Brilliant!”——Ferdinand
“This is a perfect performance for Ling Feng!”——Scholes
As the number one player, Lineker was also an immediate success. Tweet:
"Manchester United supporters, thank us! You only spent 90 million pounds to buy the future Mr. Ballon d'Or!"
For Manchester United, defeating Liverpool in the double red club is definitely something worth popping the champagne!
This means that they once again defeated their mortal enemy!
This is also Manchester United’s fifth consecutive victory against Liverpool in the league!
Winning eight consecutive wins in the Premier League is a great achievement.
However, this does not mean that they can relax temporarily.
Because in the next nine days, they will play three games.
Moreover, every opponent is very strong!
Two days later, they first went to Camp Nou to challenge La Liga giants Barcelona in the Champions League group stage;
Then, returning to the domestic league, they were about to go to Stamford Bridge to face A strong contender for the championship, "Blues Chelsea"
Finally, they have to stage a League Cup version of the Manchester City Derby with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
If you add in the just-finished Double Red Club, within ten days, the Red Devils and Manchester United will face Liverpool, Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City one after another!
Every battle is a tough battle!
The FA’s devilish schedule was also criticized by Mourinho at the post-match press conference:
“I have coached in the Premier League for more than six seasons. I don’t know why it’s like this every time when arranging the schedule!”
“The Premier League team has just finished playing in the league, and less than 48 hours later, it will participate in the second game, and it is also the Champions League. Level competition! ”
"I think this is a huge test for the team's preparations and the players!"
"This useless competition like the League Cup should have been canceled long ago!"
Mourinho That's the kind of person he is.
Say what you have to say!
Of course, such bombardment is not painful at all to the FA.
Of course, the problem of intensive schedule is something that every wealthy club faces every day.
The only thing to contend with is to increase the depth of the bench as much as possible!
Coping with multi-line operations through reasonable rotation is also an ability that every top coach must possess.
Since they will go to Camp Nou to challenge La Liga giants Barcelona in two days, the team must arrive in Barcelona the night before.
In other words, they actually only have less than forty-eight hours of rest.
Even so, Mourinho still gave the players half a day off after a short tactical training the day after the Liverpool game.
And he got into the office alone, watching Barcelona's games over and over again, and formulating the next tactical plan.
Having just fought with Liverpool for ninety minutes, they are about to face Barcelona, which has the strongest trident in football. This is simply extremely difficult.
Should we continue to fight against Barcelona with all the main players, or should we adopt a certain position rotation?
This is a key issue that Mourinho must consider.
And everyone, including Mourinho, knows how important this game is to him!
This is his return to the Camp Nou after four years, and it is also a good opportunity for him to get revenge on Barcelona again.
Last time, he was at the helm of the Galactic Battleship. This time, he is the savior of Manchester United!
The personal feud between Mourinho and Barcelona is a well-known secret.
As a little translator for Barcelona's head coach, Mourinho once loved Barcelona deeply.
Barcelona is his Bai Yueguang, but the one who treats him with disdain.
Back then, after Frank Rijkaard was dismissed from get out of class in 2008, Mourinho even prepared a CD containing several gigabytes and wanted to apply for the position of Barcelona coach.
In the end, Barcelona dismissed him and chose the fledgling Guardiola.
Since then, he is no longer the little translator in Barcelona, but a madman who runs and celebrates passionately at Camp Nou!
Mourinho and Guardiola, who had a good personal relationship, also "turned against each other" and became rivals.
In addition to the personal feud between Mourinho and Barcelona, the grudge between Manchester United and Barcelona is also a topic that the fan community talks about.
The feud between the two sides can be traced back to the 1984 European Cup Winners' Cup.
That year, Ferguson had not yet taken charge of Manchester United, and Barcelona still had Maradona.
Of course, the time is too long, and what people remember more is the duels between Ferguson and Barcelona over the past two decades when he led the team!
In the 1990-91 season, under the leadership of Ferguson, Manchester United returned to the European finals after 23 years.
And their opponent is Barcelona!
Ferguson VS Cruyff!
In the end, under the drizzle in Rotterdam, Manchester United defeated the star-studded dream team Barcelona 2-1 and won the European Cup Winners Cup
Three years later, the two sides once again played in In the Champions League group stage encounters, one game was 2-2 and the other game was 4-0, allowing Mengyi Barcelona to defeat Manchester United and advance to the top of the group.
However, there is never an eternal king in football!
In the following years, Cruyff's resignation led to the quiet collapse of the dream of Barcelona.
And Ferguson broke new ground with the help of the children of Class 92!
In the 9899 season, the two sides met again in the Champions League group.
Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United, Brondby!
It is worth mentioning that in this group known as "the most terrifying group of death in the history of the Champions League", the opponent in the final was actually born!
Manchester United and Barcelona, the old rivals, staged two goal battles in the group stage that made fans excited.
Among them, Beckham scored a super full-moon scimitar, then failed to slide and kneel down at Old Trafford, and the famous scene where Rivaldo scored an equalizer with an overhead kick, which are also famous scenes. It is firmly engraved in the hearts of fans from both sides.
In the end, Manchester United overcame all obstacles and reached the final, and staged a well-known reversal, becoming the first team in England to win the Triple Crown!
And this farewell is ten years later!
When the time train arrived in 2008, the two teams had completely changed.
Barcelona's Dream 2 peak has passed. New coach Guardiola and Barcelona's new king Messi have joined forces to create a new Dream 3 red and blue dynasty;
And Manchester United is under Sir Alex Ferguson. Under the construction of the Red Devils, the establishment of the third generation of Red Devils was completed, and the dominance of England was completed!
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi!
The first duel between these two unparalleled talents in the new era was at Camp Nou on April 24, 2008!
However, the slightly immature Shuangjiao did not perform too well in the competition.
On the contrary, it was Scholes' extraordinary kick that helped Manchester United reach the Champions League final again after nine years, and defeated Chelsea in the penalty shootout to win the Champions League!
From 2008 to 2011, Manchester United and Barcelona were undoubtedly the two best teams in Europe.
Manchester United has reached the Champions League finals three times in four years; Barcelona has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for four consecutive years.
In the second contest between the two in the 2009 Champions League final, Ronaldo was defeated by Messi, and for the first time he felt the helplessness of losing the Ballon d'Or to Messi.
Two years later, Ferguson's Manchester United reached the Champions League final again and faced Guardiola's Barcelona again.
However, Ferguson, who has reached the end of his career, once again feels the powerlessness he felt two years ago.
Facing the invincible Barcelona, known as the "Cosmic Team" at the time, Manchester United did not have much power to fight back.
It is worth mentioning that at the last moment of the game, the live broadcast camera was also focused on Ferguson, who was chewing gum and his fists were shaking slightly.
This famous scene also allowed the world to witness the helplessness and unwillingness of the Red Devil Godfather.
Since then, the story of Manchester United and Barcelona has come to an end.
Until today!
Times have changed. With Sir Alex Ferguson retiring and Guardiola leaving the Bundesliga, Manchester United and Barcelona are also in different situations.
Today, under the leadership of Messi, Barcelona is still among the top clubs in Europe.
Manchester United, which had been dormant for three years, has ushered in the dawn of revival.
. . .
On October 18, the entire Manchester United team took a special flight from Manchester to Barcelona, Spain.
In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United will challenge Barcelona away from home.
This game is destined to be highly anticipated.
For Manchester United, which has performed strongly this season, they naturally want more.
In addition to competing for the championship in the league, they also hope to regain their competitiveness in the Champions League.
They hope to let the powerful Europeans know that the Red Devils that once dominated the continent are back!
For Ling Feng, the showdown with Barcelona is simply a dream come true.
Barcelona is definitely one of the strongest teams in football today.
And they also have the strongest trident in football "MSN"
This is his first competition with Messi and his first time competing with MSN.
Ling Feng knows very well that if he wants to reach the top of football, he must defeat the strong ones who stand in front of him along the way!
Iniesta, Suarez, Neymar
And Messi!
The battle with the strongest in the world always makes people excited.
However, no one is optimistic that Manchester United can escape from Camp Nou!
In the first two rounds, Manchester United won one and drew one, ranking second with four points.
Barcelona won both games and ranked first with six points.
If Manchester United can win this game, they can temporarily overtake Barcelona and rank first in the group.
However, this matchup is very unfavorable for Manchester United.
Three days ago, Barcelona beat Deportivo La Coruña 4-0 at home, and the team's main lineup also got some rest time.
From the perspective of the game lineup, even with a large number of signings this summer, there is still a clear gap between Manchester United's main lineup and Barcelona.
In pre-match predictions, more than 80% of the media and professional reporters believed that Barcelona, playing at home, would give Manchester United a head-on blow!
