Chapter 937: Don’t Praise Your Enemies!
After entering September, Manchester United gradually played more games.
Three league games, two Champions League games, and one League Cup game.
In early September, there was also the national team match day, and each national team was struggling to compete for the final spot.
Currently, the Manchester United team is dominated by players from England and France, but what makes Jintiger happy is that these two national teams have all obtained qualifying places early, so with two games left, there is no need to fight against the opponent. .
Kim Tiger specifically called Southgate and Deschamps and asked them to take care of Manchester United's players and reduce their playing time as much as possible. The two national team coaches readily agreed.
Currently in the Manchester United team, the person who is in the worst mood because of the World Cup is Van Dijk.
Now the Dutch team only has a theoretical possibility. They may not qualify for the 2018 World Cup. This is really sad.
In the penultimate round of the game, the Dutch offensive line was completely misfired, and finally managed to win with a header from Van Dijk.
However, the opponent Sweden also won. The two teams are currently evenly divided, with Sweden ranking at the forefront with a goal difference advantage. There is a ten goal difference between the two teams. If Sweden can also win the next game, then the Netherlands will have to fight for a play-off spot unless they score a super big score, but this... is too difficult.
After returning to Manchester United, Van Dijk vented his anger on his opponents.
Because the Manchester United players hardly consumed much physical energy in the national team this time, and luckily no one was injured, Manchester United was not affected by the FIFA virus this time, which made Jin Taige very happy.
In three league games in September, Manchester United maintained their winning streak.
Won Manchester City 3-1; defeated Crystal Palace 4-0; defeated West Brom 2-0.
Manchester United wins five consecutive league victories!
In the first five rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United only conceded one goal to Manchester City. While their attack is powerful, their defense is also extremely solid. Especially in the game against Manchester City, Van Dijk failed to defend Aguero and was so angry that he kicked the goal post! If it weren't for a free kick that hit the wall, De Gea's clean sheet record would have continued.
In the two Champions League games in September, Manchester United faced Monaco at home and Ajax away.
The score in both games was 3-1.
In the home game against Monaco, Manchester United won easily. Although Monaco was the Ligue 1 champion last season, they have been stuck in the relegation quagmire this season after losing more than half of their main players. Manchester United got off to a good start in the Champions League group stage with Griezmann's hat-trick.
In another game, Kim Tiger led the team to Ajax's Cruyff Stadium.
In this game, Manchester United's three Dutch players who are on loan at Ajax all played.
Neither team scored in the first half of this game.
Nonetheless, this game gave Kim Tiger what he wanted!
De Jong is the core of the midfield of this Ajax team. He has excellent passing and control, and a balance of offense and defense. Although he is less than 20 years old, he has an extremely big picture and a general style!
Seeing De Jong's performance, Scholes said with admiration: "Captain, this guy is really good. He can be called a combination of Keane and me."
Kim Tiger smiled and said: "Paul, I think given time, this kid will not only be able to combine the advantages of you and Keane, but his passing ability is likely to exceed yours."
"Haha, that's great! Manchester United has another all-rounder!"
"Maybe there is an extra captain!"
De Jong sorts out the midfield, while another rising star De Ligt is responsible for controlling the defense.
Seeing De Ligt's outstanding performance, Golden Tiger couldn't help but look at Van Dijk at the other end of the court.
This Dutch boy has very similar technical characteristics to his third captain!
In addition to precise blocking and precise defensive positioning, De Ligt is also strong enough.
Griezmann was not given any chance when fighting for a header.
During a corner kick defense, Griezmann was knocked away by De Ligt again and the ball was cleared by him.
At this time, Salah came over and helped Griezmann up: "Anthony, can you do it? I have helped you three times."
Griezmann got up helplessly: "This kid is accurate and strong. Given time, he will definitely be a strong enemy for us."
Salah looked at him: "Anthony, I think he is our strong enemy now..."
"Well, let's cooperate more later, don't fight him one-on-one, the success rate is too low..."
"The success rate is zero now, okay..."
After the first half of the game, in the locker room, Kim Tiger praised the three Dutch players.
"These Dutch boys De Jong and De Ligt are really good! I think they are at the top level in Europe now. Especially when you are on the forward line today and you were marked by others and did nothing, these two boys are really amazing!"
Jin Taige praised his opponent, which made several of his forward players a little confused.
They were used to chopping melons and vegetables in the league, but they didn't expect to hit a snag today.
At the beginning of the second half, Griezmann was the first to show off his power. He received a pass from Salah in the frontcourt, and then suddenly passed the ball, quickly passed the onrushing De Ligt, and then pushed the ball into the far corner.
1 to 0! Manchester United is ahead!
Griezmann, who scored a goal, rushed to Kim Tiger on the sidelines and hugged him: "Boss! We are the best! Don't praise the enemy again next time!"
"But they are our Manchester United players who are on loan at Ajax?"
"That won't work either! Standing opposite us is the enemy!"
Griezmann hugged Kim Tiger, making him breathless.
At this time, Salah, who provided the assist, rushed forward and knocked down Kim Tiger in one fell swoop.
Then, Mbappe, De Bruyne, Kroos and other players all pounced on Kim Tiger and pinned him down!
At this time, BT Sport's Trick and Norrie were laughing happily in the studio.
"We often see players stacking up against each other after scoring a goal, but it's rare to see coaches stack up with players." Trick said with a smile.
The strong man Nori looked at Jin Taige on the court: "I guess, if these Manchester United players don't get up, their head coach may have to leave early. With so many players pressing up, even if the person underneath is me. , that can’t be tolerated. Let alone Kim Tiger.”
After half a minute, the players got up one after another. They all coaxed them all to run back to the court, leaving Jin Taig alone to slowly get up from the ground.
Scholes supported him: "Captain, are you okay?"
Jin Taige looked at the players on the field and said through gritted teeth: "I think they were retaliating against me just now, but I have no evidence..."
