Chapter 779, 3 Strikes Against Liverpool

The Barcelona management held a meeting all morning, and did not discuss how to deal with Dembele's matter. In the end Bartomeu sighed: "Let's see the situation and talk about it. Maybe Manchester United will let go in a few days, and we will have a turning point. Maybe..."

Hearing Bartomeu's words, Enrique was completely desperate. He knew that Dembele would definitely not be able to come this winter. And now there are no other suitable signings, even if you find a suitable candidate, you will not be able to buy it in the end due to the stingy state of the club. If you force yourself to buy a few ordinary players that cannot be used, it is better to have none.

Enrique told the public relations manager: "Tell Dembele not to worry, we are preparing. And tell him not to confront Manchester United, at least to participate in training normally, if possible If not, play a dozen more reserve team games, keep in good shape, and wait for us to contact him again."

The PR manager complied.

So far, Barcelona has never had any contact with Manchester United this winter, and the news about their purchase of Dembele has gradually disappeared from the major media.

And Dembele is now in a very embarrassing situation. On the one hand, Barcelona has no movement, at least he can't leave this winter, on the other hand, he has also offended Manchester United, and he can only dawdle in the reserve team.

But what Barcelona told me was right, I must keep in good shape and wait for the greeting from Catalonia at any time.

So after Dembele was paid another week's salary, he began to be honest, showing up on the reserve team training ground on time every day, and training honestly.

So far, Dembele's transfer turmoil this winter is over. As for what will happen to him in the future, no one knows, and Kintegger has not considered how to treat him. At least during this period of time, he asked Dembele to reflect on his performance in the reserve team. Let's talk about his performance.

Manchester United did not buy any players this winter, nor did they sell any players. Except for the Dembele incident, they have been quiet this winter.

During the period of Dembele's tumultuous transfer, Manchester United's game continued. They defeated Hull City and Stoke City in a row in the 21st and 22nd rounds of the league, and continued to maintain their status. Streak momentum.

In these two games, Griezmann's performance was very eye-catching. He scored four goals in two games and performed superbly.

Although he has been injured for more than a month, he still ranks first in the Premier League scorer list with 17 goals, beating several forwards such as Kane and Aguero.

After the January that made Kintag a bit disturbed, Manchester United entered a tense February. There are many important games waiting for Manchester United in February.

In front of us, there are three games against Liverpool in early February, which are the 23rd round of the league and two League Cup semi-finals.

In mid-February, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals officially kicked off.

At the end of February, Manchester United will usher in the League Cup final. Although they still need to cross the threshold of Liverpool's semi-finals, Kintag has already regarded himself as a final team.

The reason why Jin Taige is so confident is entirely because he has a strong psychological advantage against Liverpool. Since he took over as Manchester United coach, he has almost won against Liverpool! The only defeat was in the second half of the 1415 season. At that time, Kintag was suspended and unable to direct the game. In that game, Manchester United lost to Liverpool with a score of 0-1. But other than that, Manchester United have achieved a complete victory.

In other words, as long as Kim Tag is on the sidelines, Manchester United's record is a complete victory!

Therefore, in these three consecutive games against Liverpool, Manchester United was not afraid and responded with a very relaxed attitude.

The first of those three games is the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, with Manchester United taking on Liverpool at Anfield. In this game, Kintag dispatched most of the main players and played against Liverpool with all his strength.

Although Manchester United and Manchester City have gone hand in hand in the league recently,

But Liverpool also performed well, they were inconsistent in the opening stage and lost a few important games. But in the next few games, they performed very well, especially in the two games against Tottenham and Chelsea, Klopp's team defeated their opponents and won the two key battles against big6. .

Klopp became Liverpool's new coach last season, and the club had high hopes for him, but they only finished sixth in the league last season, and they were very reluctant, and finally stumbled into the Europa League. arena.

For Liverpool, which is aiming for revival, this result is far from enough. If Klopp can't achieve enough outstanding results this season, his coaching position may be in jeopardy.

But this season's Liverpool wants to win the Premier League championship, it is unlikely that the current Manchester City duo in front of him is not something he can match, so Klopp put his mind on the cup.

In the first round of the League Cup, Liverpool started aggressively, and their style of play was open and close, which made Kintag a little uncomfortable.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool and Manchester United played evenly. At halftime, the score between the two sides was fixed at 2-2. For Liverpool, Firmino scored twice, and his performance was eye-catching; while for Manchester United, Salah scored two goals in a row and equalized the score twice.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Liverpool's offensive was still fierce, but Manchester United was stronger and more stable. Not long after the start of the second half, they won a penalty. Griezmann made it overnight and helped Manchester United overtake the game.

At the last moment of the game, Manchester United scored again from Salah to help Manchester United seal the victory with a score of 4-2.

Manchester United scored 4-2 in the away game, and they have already entered the League Cup final with one foot.

A few days later, Manchester United ushered in the twenty-third round of the Premier League, playing against Liverpool at home.

The victory in the League Cup a few days ago gave Manchester United more confidence. Since I was able to win 4 to 2 at Anfield, I returned to Old Trafford today, why should I not win the game?

In this game, Manchester United was in a brave state. Amidst the cheers of the home fans, they beat Liverpool 3-0 with a crushing momentum, and successfully scored three points.

In this game, Jin Taige sent half of the bench lineup, and many young people started their debut. However, they all showed great strength. Ali, Sane and Lingard each scored a goal to help Manchester United put Liverpool under their feet again!
