Chapter 332, the Last 3 League Games

Manchester United was eliminated by Real Madrid and missed the Champions League final, which made the Red Devils fans very sad.

Nevertheless, everyone was very pleasantly surprised by the new look of Manchester United this season, especially their new coach Kim Tiger.

As a fledgling Premier League first-year freshman, Kintiger's performance is very eye-catching. He led this Manchester United team in the transitional stage of the old and new to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. This is the best result of Manchester United in the past three years.

What is gratifying is that this Manchester United team is composed of many young players. They are talented and high-spirited. The fans are very confident. Earth youth storm!

On April 29, Manchester United ended their Champions League tour this season. Kintag gave the players a day off. After returning to the team on May 1, the tense atmosphere in the Carrington training ground resumed.

Although the Champions League journey is over, the Premier League is still going on intensely. There are currently two rounds left in the league, and Manchester United and Manchester City still have a make-up match. The current situation of the Premier League is not clear. The championship is being fought between the Manchester City duo. The difference between the two teams is only one point. It has been determined that Chelsea and Arsenal are ranked third and fourth respectively, with no hope of winning the championship and no worries about the top four. The Premier League journey of these two teams this season has basically ended ahead of schedule; while the competition for the next fifth and sixth places is very fierce. The four teams of Everton, Tottenham, Liverpool and Southampton are less than three points apart. They all have the possibility of entering the Europa League next season. Therefore, in the next two rounds, these four teams will The relegation battle at the bottom of the list is equally fierce. Currently, Norwich City, Fulham and Cardiff City are ranked in the relegation zone. In addition to Cardiff City, which is definitely relegated, Sunderland and Azerbaijan are ranked above. Stone Villa, Hull City and West Brom are less than three points behind the relegation zone, and have not succeeded in relegation in advance, so the last two rounds of the Premier League relegation battle are also extremely fierce.

On May 3, Manchester United will face Sunderland at home. This is an important contest in the thirty-seventh round of the Premier League.

Sunderland is currently only two points away from the relegation zone. Although it is safe for the time being, it is still very dangerous, so they must win this game.

This year, Manchester United and Sunderland are very close. They have already played three games against Sunderland. In the seventh round of the league on October 5, Manchester United once visited Sunderland's Stadium of Light. At that time, Sunderland set up an iron barrel formation, which made Manchester United return without success. Unfortunately, it ended 0-0. In the semi-finals of the two rounds of the League Cup, Manchester United defeated their opponents 5-0 in two rounds and successfully advanced to the final.

In this game, Sunderland was playing away. There was a big gap between them and Manchester United in terms of strength. So they did not intend to fight against Manchester United. Instead, they continued to put on an iron bucket formation, hoping to win a draw in the away game. With the current situation of Sunderland, one point can basically confirm relegation.

Sunderland is content with one point, but Manchester United can't. In the game played a few hours ago, Manchester City defeated Newcastle 3-0 in the away game, winning simply and neatly. They have played one more game, leading Manchester United to return to the top of the standings by two points. So Manchester United is bound to win this game!

Because the Champions League match was just played three days ago, Kintag performed a large-scale rotation in this game. Substitutes came on the field one after another.

Kintag's starting lineup today is still a 4-4-2 formation, with goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Ferdinand, Van Dijk, Evra and Jones, midfielders Nainggolan, Carrick, Giggs and Nani , the forwards are Salah and Icardi. The seven substitute players are: De Gea, Alonso, Valencia, Ashley Young, Fletcher, Shinji Kagawa and Van Persie.

This game was completely a one-sided offensive practice of Manchester United. Under the leadership of the old Manchester United player O'Shea, Sunderland desperately resisted Manchester United's attack. Throughout the first half, Manchester United got 16 shots, but they did not. There is no goal that can break the black cat.

During the intermission, Kintag had to make substitution adjustments. He replaced Nani, who performed extremely poorly, with Valencia, and Nainggolan with Shinji Kagawa.

After this season's games, Nani has gradually become a substitute from the starting player at the beginning of the season, and he is not even Kintag's preferred substitute player. The ups and downs of Nani's state really made Kim Tago worry too much. Kintag has assisted Nani in training many times to help him adjust his state, but it still had no effect. Later, Kintag had no choice. This is a problem of golf quotient, which is really difficult to solve.

Not only that, but Nani's two-year contract is about to expire, and his agent asked for a renewal of 160,000 euros, which also made it difficult for Kim Tago to accept. You must know that apart from Van Persie's 200,000 euros, 160,000 is already the highest asking price in the team, and Nani is not the main force of the team at all. Manchester United will never offer such a high weekly salary for him.

In this game, Nani's state was still ups and downs. He wasted many good opportunities on the court, which made Kim Tagg really unbearable. Kintag has already made up his mind: today is Nani's last game at Manchester United. During the summer transfer period, he must let Nani leave the team.

After substitutions and adjustments, Manchester United's offense still didn't improve much. Although they had been attacking Sunderland all the time, they just didn't score goals. Icardi fell into the opponent's defensive crowd and had no chance to get the ball at all, and he himself was not a center forward who could hold the ball. He seemed to disappear in this game; and under the opponent's intensive defense, Salah's The speed advantage can't be brought into play either. As soon as he gets the ball, two or three opponents will force him up, otherwise Salah will have a chance to enter the penalty area.

Seeing that the striker was blocked, Jin Taige was extremely anxious. If he could not win this game, then maybe all the hard work of the season would be in vain.

In the 78th minute of the game, Kintag replaced Ferdinand and replaced Van Persie, and the team switched to three forwards.

Facts have proved that this substitution had an immediate effect.

After Van Persie came on the field, just five minutes later, he won a chance in a scramble.

This time it was a cross from Valencia on the right. Before the cross, Van Persie was very alert and flexible in the penalty area. When he saw the pass, he decisively chose to shoot from a close corner. The post is scored into the goal.

1 to 0! Manchester United finally lead the score!
