Chapter 89 Who is the King of Europe

After two rounds of the English Premier League in the new season, the standings have already shown a situation of winning the quarterfinals. Manchester United won two games, scored 11 goals and conceded 0 goals and ranked first with 6 points.

Following Manchester United is Mourinho's "Blue Army". Chelsea defeated Norwich City with a 3-0 away score, and played two 3-0 in two games. Mourinho's team's strength has been unanimously recognized and is regarded as the team that is most likely to challenge the "Red Devils" this season.

The "Blue Moon" who just changed the coach in the summer also won two games under the leadership of Van Gaal, but they defeated Tottenham 1-0 at home and Bolton 2-1 away. Although they won both games, the momentum is not as good as Chelsea. Each game is a small victory. With Manchester City's lineup, Van Gaal's coaching ability is very doubtful.

The fourth team that won a complete victory was a bit unexpected...Leeds United!

The "Youth Guards" also changed coaches in the summer. Although "crazy" Bielsa is an Argentinian, he pays more attention to the team's defense. He bought two players during the transfer period and spent 34 million pounds, but they are all defensive players.

Because the "crazy" Bielsa pays great attention to defense, the two league games won by Leeds United were only 1:0.

When the outside world criticized Bielsa for her conservative tactics, the "madman" defeated Swedish Aik 1:0 away in the Europa League qualifiers and hit the opponent 6:0 at home. This made people see his specialness. It is really hard to predict what tactics this "madman" will use in the game.

A "crazy man" with a strange and elusive personality. Coupled with the already powerful "Youth Guards", Leeds United this season still makes people look forward to their performance.

After two rounds of the league, it seems that these four teams are in better shape, but Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and other teams are also very good. As long as they can adjust their condition, they should have the opportunity to catch up in the standings.

In any case, after two rounds of the English Premier League in the new season, it really seems to be clear about strength and weakness. There are no upsets. The three teams of the promoted team Bolton, Wigan, and Queen's Park Rangers are currently at the bottom, and no one has the strength to create miracles. It is rare to see strong competitiveness in the first season after Simon Grayson led the "Youth Guards" to upgrade.

It is the end of August, and the summer transfer window is about to close, and the annual European Super Cup is about to begin.

Last season, the "Red Devils" Manchester United won the Champions League trophy under the leadership of Shaq, and the "Blue Army" Chelsea also stood out in the UEFA Cup. Mourinho's team often entered a mature stage in the second year and began to achieve results. Last season, they won the third place in the league and defeated Spain's Valencia 3-1 in the UEFA Cup final, becoming the champion of the UEFA Cup.

Last season, the English team did perform well in the European arena, bringing back both the Champions League and the Europa League, which is enough to prove that the rise of English football is already unstoppable.

This season's European Super Cup is the venue for the match at the St. Jacob Stadium, Basel, Switzerland. The Swiss are still very fond of football, especially two teams like Manchester United and Chelsea, which has attracted countless fans to watch the game.

Is it the "Red Devils" who achieved the great achievements of the "Six-Crown King"!?

Or is Mourinho and his team playing the disruptor!?

Shaq is in good shape. Will his goals continue? The efficiency of scoring one goal every 27 minutes is really terrifying!

Mourinho is now a master-level figure. Even if there is a "Blue Army" inside, and there is a "Red Devil" who pushes the European continent outwardly, Mourinho still led Chelsea to win the UEFA Cup championship last season. Finally, he did not have the whole season as empty as Manchester City. This time he had a peak showdown with Manchester United, what new tactics will the Portuguese use!?

The entire European football world is paying attention to the European Super Cup this season, because there are many highlights of this game. Of course, the fans of the two teams are paying more attention to this game. The early English fans flocked to Switzerland. The St. Jacob Stadium, which can accommodate 4,000 spectators on the night of the game, only 1,500 seats were empty. It is because for the sake of safety, the UEFA official not only allowed neutral fans to separate Manchester United and Chelsea fans, but also left a gap for the riot police. Even the fans entered the game separately.

But UEFA still underestimates the quality of England fans now. It is true that Manchester United and Chelsea are mortal enemies, but they have to meet at least twice a year in the league. This situation has been seen a lot. If they have to fight each time, how many people will be killed or injured?

So at St. Jacob's Stadium, although the atmosphere was very warm, no one did any extreme behavior.

The game started on time at 20 o'clock local time. At the beginning of the game, Manchester United launched their strong offensive, and Chelsea also directly started to fight a defensive counterattack.

As people expected before the game, Manchester United's tactics will still be offensive in this game, and Mourinho's team will definitely play the defensive counterattack that he is best at.

In fact, this is impossible for Mourinho. The attack power of the "Blue Army" is actually not weak at all, otherwise they would not have won two 3-0 in two league games. Cavani, Sigurosen, Pizzi, Lukaku, Ramirez, Sturric and others are all good offensive players, but Mourinho still focuses on defense today because he dares to play against Manchester United at all. The current "Red Devils" are like Barcelona, ​​the "cosmic team" in the past. The attack power is definitely the world's first. If you want to have a chance to win in front of such an opponent, you will have a glimmer of hope if you do your own defense, otherwise you will be looking for death.

Any Manchester United opponent understands that Shaq needs at least two defensive players to greet him, otherwise Shaq's performance will not be restricted at all. Moreover, even if two players defend, he cannot stop him from scoring consecutive goals. In this case, who dares to play against Manchester United?

And Shaq... is truly a super breakup on the Green Field that surpasses history and sets records!

Just three minutes into the game, Shaq received a pass from Ganso on the frontcourt on the left. Facing the defense of Terry and Thiago Ilori, Shaq calmly dribbled the ball with the change of speed and center of gravity and drilled through the gap between the two.

Terry is indeed old now, and he can't catch up with Shaq, but the Argentine left-back ran over to assist in defense because of Sua. With Thiago Ilori's interference, Shaq could only take a long shot from the top of the right side of the penalty area, and the ball eventually missed the goal.

In the 11th minute, Mata dribbled the ball from the right and cut in. When he first entered the Chelsea's right penalty area, he used Shaq's cover to restrain the ball and pulled it out with his left foot, but he missed the left post.

In this game, Simon Grayson replaced Gareth Bale with Di Maria, but did not replace Mata with Nani. He just wanted to give the Spanish winger a chance to prove himself in front of his old club. Mourinho is not looking down on Mata, then I will let you see if Mata is valuable.

In the 13th minute, Shaq dribbled the ball on the right and shot outside the penalty area on the right. He wanted to use his left foot to spin the upper left corner of the Chelsea goal. However, Cech, who was standing in front of the Chelsea goal, did not give him such an opportunity at all. He directly chose the position and took the ball off with both hands.

After seeing this, Shaq couldn't help but smile and shook his head. It seems that it is really not suitable to play with an experienced old door god like Cech!

Chelsea still had a lot of tricks when defending Shaq. Terry resisted Shaq, and Ilori was responsible for protecting the surroundings. This was also Mourinho's making full use of Terry's experience and Ilori's speed and impulse. For a moment, Shaq really didn't find a good solution.

However, Manchester United's goal still appeared in the 19th minute. Di Maria passed the free throw point on the left, and Shaq was forced to be blocked by Old Terry and failed to grab the landing point. The ball was rubbed to the left by Terry, and the ball was directly out of the baseline... a corner kick!

And this corner kick caused Manchester United's goal!

When Van der Weill took the corner kick on the right, Manchester United gathered as many as six players on the right and middle, and it seemed that they were about to kill Chelsea. Even Shaq was in this area, so Chelsea's defensive formation had to be concentrated here.

But Van der Were's corner kick did not pass this, but directly passed it to the small penalty area line on the left side of the back point!

The strong Greek central defender Papadopoulos rushed up from the penalty area and ran over to fight him against the Argentine left-back Insua, who was not even 1.8 meters tall. Not to mention the physical gap between the two, just the personal technical characteristics determine that it is difficult for Insuao to defend Papadopoulos, who already has world-class central defender strength.

A full-back who is good at assisting, dribbling, passing the ball on the wing, and a central defender who is good at marking, interception, and fighting for the header. This result... is really a bit of a bad situation!

"Dong!"

Papadopoulos hit the ball with his forehead and pushed the ball into the upper left corner of Chelsea!

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At St. Jacob's Stadium, Manchester United players and fans celebrated happily...

At this moment, countless fans around the world were sighing silently... Manchester United is indeed the strongest team last season. The overall strength of this team is definitely the best. Even if Shaq is trapped in the siege of his opponent, others will take advantage of this opportunity to stand up and score the goal. Although Papadopoulos, Rooney, Nani, Mata, Bale and others stand out this time, they all have the ability to decide the game with a flash of inspiration!
