Chapter Nine Hundred and Seventieth, the Sword Refers to the World Cup

Kim Tag's phrase "We will win more!" became the topic on the front page of many sports media the next day.

"Will you win more? Do you want three consecutive championships?"

So wrote The Sun's Wolfe.

The well-known German sports media "Kicker" also put forward a professional view on Manchester United's prospects this season.

"United are going straight in the league right now and their rivals have stumbled, so it looks like, as long as there is no too much trouble, they should have no problem winning the Premier League this season."

"And in the domestic cup competitions, the possibility of Manchester United defending the title is not small. Their dominance in the Premier League is still solid. We must admit this."

"However, in the Champions League, I don't think Manchester United can win the honor of the Champions League three consecutive times. The reason why they finally won the Champions League last season, luck accounted for a large factor. Lewandowski's five goals in eight minutes, Barcelona's unexpected comeback at Old Trafford and the familiar Manchester City in the final are all luck for Manchester United to win the championship."

"But this season, there are many European giants. After a crazy transfer period in the summer, the strength of many European giants has been greatly improved. Paris, Real Madrid, Bayern and other teams are all competing for the Champions League. Strength. No matter who these teams meet Manchester United, it will be a 50-50 game."

"I think Manchester United can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season. This should be their limit."

In fact, the analysis of "Kicker" is not without reason.

Take a look at some of the top European teams this season: Real Madrid are the only ones in La Liga, and their powerful offensive trident is simply too tyrannical. In La Liga, they have won 17 consecutive victories, surpassing what Barcelona once created 16 consecutive victories, and it is still being rewritten.

And Bayern and Paris are as strong as ever in the league. They are like cutting melons and vegetables, and they have no opponents in the league.

And Dortmund, Atletico Madrid and other teams are not easy to mess with.

From this point of view, Manchester United's new season journey is indeed difficult.

But in the face of these doubts from the outside world, Jin Taige has long been accustomed to it.

During the team's regular newspaper reading time, Kintag read all these doubts to the players, and then he said with a smile: "Guys, look, these media are still not optimistic about us. But I'm used to it." .”

"During the 1314 season, the media said that I bought a bunch of incompetent children, and my results would definitely fluctuate, but we finally won the Premier League champion and the League Cup champion that season."

"During the 1516 season, the media said that Real Madrid would win the Champions League three times in a row. We couldn't stop the powerful Galacticos. In the end we killed them, won the Champions League, won all the championships, and became the seven champions."

"And in the 1617 season that just passed, the media said that we would go downhill. But we finally defended all the championships! A few days ago, we defended the Club World Cup and defended the seven championships!"

"Now they say we won't win the Champions League this season, hehe, guys, the final result is up to you!"

Inspired by Jin Taige's bloody fight, Manchester United players continued their winning streak in the league.

In the 17th round of the Premier League, they defeated West Ham 4-0 at home, continued to crush strongly, and dominated the Premier League.

With the leagues in various countries in full swing, the World Cup qualifiers have all come to an end.

The top teams in the Americas Division have successfully advanced, and the strong teams in the Asia and Africa Divisions have also successfully reached the top 32. However, in the European division, due to the poor state of several super teams, they finally missed the World Cup main match, and many tragic heroes appeared on the field.

Italy's performance in the qualifiers was mediocre and they did not get the places that appeared directly; in the play-offs, they narrowly lost to Sweden and were eventually eliminated.

After the game, a group of stars headed by Buffon and De Rossi all announced their withdrawal from the Italian national team.

A generation of Italian geniuses has bid farewell to the national team, and it is time for Italy to rebuild.

Another strong team that bid farewell to the World Cup is the Netherlands. They are even more tragic than Italy, and they didn't even make it to the play-offs.

After the defeat in the qualifiers, a generation of Dutch geniuses represented by Van Persie and Robben also announced their withdrawal from the national team at the same time. Seeing Van Persie crying bitterly after the game, Kintag in front of the TV even sighed.

He called Van Persie and sent comfort to his lover.

So far, all the top 32 World Cups have been produced, and they will compete against Russia in the summer of 2018 to compete for the Hercules Cup!

Italy and the Netherlands were eliminated, and the national team members of the two countries were heartbroken.

There are no Italian players in the Manchester United team, and the only Dutch player in the first team is Van Dijk.

After returning from the national team, Van Dijk was still as stern as usual and did not appear too sad. But on the training ground, he was obviously agitated, and he even used up two of the equipment in the gym.

Jin Taige asked him tentatively, is there any problem, is the condition suitable for participating in the competition?

Van Dijk told Kim Tag very seriously that there is absolutely no problem.

This relieved Jin Taige a lot.

In the 18th round of the league, Manchester United faced Brighton.

Manchester United's performance in this game was also very eye-catching. With Brighton's tight defense, they finally scored a score of 3 to 1, won and continued their winning streak.

But what Jin Taige didn't expect was that all three goals were scored by Van Dijk! He actually performed a hat-trick!

Brighton didn't intend to win this game. They set up a 5-4-1 formation, but when they played, it almost became 10-0-0! Their intensive defense made Manchester United's offense very uncomfortable.

Faced with this situation, Kintag still chose to break the dense defense with long-range shots and set kicks.

However, the Manchester United players did not feel good on their feet today, and they did not suppress a few long-range shots.

At this time, Van Dyke made his debut.

Towards the end of the first half, he took advantage of a corner kick and headed into the net to help Manchester United score a rare goal.

Not long after the start of the second half, he took advantage of the set-piece opportunity, headed the ball into the net and scored twice.

Then Brighton began to press up, and the scene of the two teams looked better, but several forwards of Manchester United still didn't find the feeling of scoring goals.

In the stoppage time of the game, it was another corner kick and another header. Van Dijk staged a hat-trick and helped Manchester United successfully get three points!

Seeing Van Dijk's superb performance, Phelan said excitedly: "I didn't expect Van Dijk to be in such a good state after the Netherlands lost. After that, the Netherlands should lose more games!"

Jin Taige glanced at Fei Lan, but said nothing.

If Van Dyke heard this, he would have to fight Ferran desperately...
