Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety Four, New Year New Weather

Jin Taige is back. After the suspension, he is like a dragon going out to sea or a tiger going down the mountain. He simply beat Stoke City 5-0.

After returning to Manchester, it was already night, and the whole city was brightly lit. Looking at the city with thousands of lights, on this new year's day, there must have been many Manchester United fans watching the big victory just now on TV. The game brought the fans the first gift of the new year.

The new year should have a new look!

A few days later, United drew Yeovil in the third round of the FA Cup.

This is a weak team in the second division, and Manchester United will go to play against them away.

This is a game without suspense. Jin Taige sent a substitute lineup, but it is still more than enough to deal with the Yeovil team.

This game was simply not a heavyweight contest. In front of Manchester United, the Yeovil team was almost powerless to fight back. They were beaten around by Manchester United's cooperation and had no ability to fight back. The only thing they rely on is their strong bodies. In England's low-level leagues, the penalties for general games are relatively loose, so there are often very fierce physical confrontations.

Although Manchester United's strength is much stronger than its opponents, for Kintag, since it is not difficult to win the game, the most important thing is to avoid accidental injuries.

Therefore, in this game, Kintag asked the team to pass the ball up, reduce the number of ball possession and dribbling, and reduce physical contact with the opponent.

Although Kintag's arrangement is to protect the players, for players like Martial who are good at dribbling, it is considered to be a big reduction in edge. Martial followed Kintag's arrangement and reduced ball possession. He passes more in the frontcourt, so it seems that he doesn't have much room to play in this game.

Despite this, Manchester United is still very strong offensively.

In the 12th minute of the game, Cross's long pass found Icardi in the penalty area. Icardi turned and shot flexibly in the penalty area to help Manchester United open the scoring.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Carrick made a through pass from outside the penalty area. Icardi in the penalty area received the ball in the gap, shot directly, and the ball went into the net.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United relied on Icardi's brace to lead the opponent by two goals.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Manchester United still patiently turned their feet in the midfield and did not easily give their opponents a chance to collide.

The two midfielders Carrick and Kroos in this game,

They are all players with delicate skills and excellent passing. This style of play is not a problem for them at all.

In the 69th minute of the second half, Ashley Young from the left made a cross. Icardi in the penalty area headed vigorously and broke the opponent's goal for the third time.

The final score of the game was fixed at 3-0, and Icardi scored a hat-trick to help the team take the opponent lightly.

Seeing that although Icardi does not have many chances to play, as long as he is on the court, his goal luck is very good. Seeing that he is in a brave state, Kintag is very happy.

In the fourth round of the FA Cup draw after the game, Manchester United drew Cambridge United, which is another League Two team. It seems that Manchester United's promotion to the next round is almost certain.

Next, Manchester United can take a break. The next game is eight days later, the 21st round of the Premier League, against Southampton at home.

This is the third time the two teams have played against each other this season. In the previous two games, Manchester United won away games. This time, Kintag still has the confidence to defeat his opponent.

Manchester United encountered some difficulties in this game. Southampton put up an iron barrel formation, and they planned to take away one point at Manchester United's home court.

Throughout the first half, Manchester United besieged Southampton's goal, but to no avail. The 0-0 score remained until the end of 45 minutes.

Jin Taige is a little helpless. Now many underdogs often choose the iron barrel formation when they are playing against Manchester United, and this intensive defense always brings a lot of trouble to Manchester United.

In the second half, Kintag made substitution adjustments. He replaced Smalling and replaced Icardi. The team's formation became 3-4-3; then he let Lampard, Germany Players such as Browne strengthened their long-range shots and caused trouble for their opponents.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's offensive became more intense, and they continued to besiege the opponent's goal.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Lampard's long-range shot from outside the penalty area went straight to the goal. The goalkeeper hit the ball and landed in the penalty area. Icardi's astute shot scored and helped Manchester United break the deadlock.

1 to 0, Manchester United finally scored!

Icardi, who scored the goal, was very excited. He rushed to the sidelines and cheered and hugged with the Manchester United fans.

Kintag on the sidelines said happily: "Icardi was not so happy when he scored a hat-trick in the last game. It seems that Icardi is very excited today."

Scholes agrees: "The excitement is good for a striker."

But Kintag and the others didn't know that the reason why Icardi was so excited was entirely because of the importance of this goal.

Lewandowski was on the field and couldn't score; Griezmann was on the field and couldn't score; I helped the team take the lead shortly after I came on!

I should be Manchester United's starting number one striker!

Manchester United, which broke the deadlock, is not in a hurry. Their formation has recovered a little bit. They no longer attack as hard as before. They start to pay attention to the defensive end and restore the state of offensive and defensive balance. Even so, Manchester United is still much stronger than their opponents in attack.

In the 75th minute of the game, Manchester United formed another wave of offense. This time Lampard got a chance in midfield.

Lampard intercepted the opponent's short pass in midfield, and then dribbled the ball all the way to the front of the penalty area. The opponent's two central defenders pressed up. They knew the power of Lampard's long-range shots, so they blocked Lampard's shooting and passing routes. Lampard saw that there was no chance of getting the ball, so he dribbled the ball towards the side.

At this time, Mahrez and Lampard on the left virtually completed the cross exchange.

Lampard tapped his heel and passed the ball to Mahrez. At this time Mahrez was unmarked. He curled a kick from outside the penalty area and went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

2 to 0, Manchester United expanded the score advantage, the game is stable!

Manchester United, who scored two goals, played better and better, but the next few opportunities unfortunately missed the goal. In the end, Manchester United won 2-0 at home and continued to consolidate their top position in the standings.

Since the beginning of 2015, Manchester United have won two league games and one FA Cup game, and their three-game winning streak has given them a good start to 2015. They are still advancing smoothly on all fronts, moving towards the expected goal smoothly! heir to the red devil
