Chapter 473: The Return of Nainggolan

The referee blew the whistle for the whole game. Manchester United lost to Arsenal 1-3 away. They did not get the desired league points and suffered their first defeat of the season.

As the winner, Wenger stepped forward to shake hands with Kim Tiger, and he smiled: "Tiger, I'm sorry to let you go home empty-handed."

Jin Taige shook his head and did not speak.

Wenger asked: "How is Robin doing?"

"The recovery from the injury is not bad, and the operation is also very successful." Jin Taige replied.

Wenger breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, Robin is one of my most proud disciples, I hope he can return to the court as soon as possible."

"I think so too."

The two chatted for a few words, said goodbye and left.

Wenger looked at Kintag's leaving figure, and he thought to himself: If Van Persie was still on the court today, maybe today's result would be hard to say...

Although the game was lost, Kintegger still comforted the players. Everyone is not in a good state today. On the one hand, it is because the national team match day has just ended, and on the other hand, Wenger has a good strategy. Insufficient, targeted arrangements were made.

Manchester United's best player in this game is still Lampard. His competitive state and mental strength are still very strong. He has only joined Manchester United for a few months, and Lampard has become the absolute core of Manchester United. However, Lewandowski and Griezmann, who performed well in the national team, performed mediocre today, which made Kintag a little worried about the state of the two of them.

After losing to Arsenal, Manchester United now has one more game than second-placed Chelsea, but only two points higher. If Chelsea wins this game, Manchester United will lose their top position in the league.

On the second day of the game, Chelsea played away against Liverpool. The final score of the game was fixed at 2 to 3. Chelsea suffered stubborn resistance from Liverpool in the away game. With a 2 to 1 lead, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard scored two goals in a row, and finally lost the leading Premier League points. opportunity for ranking.

Putting aside the wins and losses of the league for the time being, Kintag will go to Sweden to play against Malmö in four days.

But there is good news before this game, that is, Nainggolan can appear.

After a few days of training and adjustments, Nainggolan's physical condition has absolutely no problem, and his game state is also very good, and he has returned to a lively state on the training ground. Therefore, Kintag put Nainggolan in the starting list for this game.

Although he had just fought Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium a few days ago, Kintag still made the starting lineup for this game. If this game is won, then Manchester United will have three points more than Juventus with one round left in the Champions League group stage. At present, they have two more goal difference than Juventus, and the group's top ten is sure.

Before the game, Jin Taige had expected that the game would be difficult, but the difficulty of the game was more serious than he imagined.

From the first minute, Malmo used their strong bodies to attack the United players. In this game, the referee's whistle was soft. Many times Manchester United players were knocked upside down by them. The referee did not call Malmö for a foul. This made Kim Tagg on the sidelines repeatedly protest to the fourth official, but nothing happened. Effect.

In the 28th minute of the game, right back Raphael was knocked to the ground and rolled over and over again. This time the referee showed the Malmö players a yellow card as a warning.

The team doctor anxiously carried Rafael off the field, and Kintag was very nervous. At this stage of the game this season, he really doesn't want to see players get injured anymore.

However, the team doctor Adolf's examination results reassured Kim Taige: Raphael is fine, and he will recover after a few days of recuperation.

Only then did Jin Taige heave a sigh of relief. To be on the safe side, he didn't let Raphael continue to appear on the stage, but replaced him with Phil Jones.

Jin Taige asked Jones: "Phil, the referee of this game is relatively loose.

Your fighting strength can be increased appropriately, and you also convey my request to the defensive players. "

"Okay boss, I listen to you, I'll go up and fuck them now!" Jones ran away.

Jin Taige was stunned on the sidelines, he looked at Scholes: "Is that what I just said?"

Scholes smiled slightly: "With Phil's mind, he can only understand that."

After Jones came on the field, he passed Kintag's instructions to the players on the field, especially Nainggolan. Jones knows, although Nainggolan is half a head shorter than himself, but this guy can be more ruthless than himself when he starts to fight!

Nainggolan's performance in this game was mediocre. He did a good job of defending in the midfield, but he still did not reach his previous level. This has a lot to do with him just coming back from injury. Hearing Kintag's instructions from Jones, Nainggolan understood in his heart.

The boss must think that I am not vicious enough!

In the next game, in the process of the players of the two teams fighting for the midfield, there were repeated situations of people turning over on their backs. This time, Malmö players fell to the ground more often. Nainggolan fought ferociously and fiercely, and right-back Jones often assisted near the midfield to help defend. In this way, the Malmö players were a little at a loss.

What is the origin of these two boys, they are even fiercer than us!

Malmo's midfield rhythm was interrupted, and Manchester United's offense slowly came out.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Mahrez from the left moved forward along the wing, suddenly cut in on the edge of the penalty area, and then made a fake shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball was stuffed into the penalty area. Lewandowski shoots angrily and the ball hits the net!

1 to 0, Manchester United finally opened up the situation!

This ball made Kintag completely at ease, and the Manchester United players also breathed a sigh of relief.

A few minutes later, the first half was over and Manchester United walked off the field with ease.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United held a one-goal lead and they played more easily. Under the defense of Nainggolan and Jones, Malmo's proud tough defense also met with strong counterattacks from the two of them, and Malmo himself was in a mess for a while.

And Lampard and De Bruyne also took advantage of this opportunity to continue to create murderous opportunities in front of Malmo's goal. Nainggolan also expanded his running range and tried to make some contributions on the offensive end.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Nainggolan assisted to the frontcourt. He shot a long shot in front of the penalty area and broke Malmo's goal. The Malmo goalkeeper did not respond at all!

2 to 0, Manchester United expanded the score, this game is sure to win!
