Chapter 310: The weird three consecutive league cups!
Chapter 310: The weird league cup three consecutive championships!
Manchester United returned to Manchester from Naples, and the team was disbanded peacefully for a day off. The players did not accept many tests in Naples. The team was tough and it was easy to win, but it was very necessary to take a day off on the journey.
Even Solskjaer has made up his mind that in the upcoming League Cup final, he does not plan to take all the main players to Wembley Stadium, at least... he has to give China Yang, B Fei, Aliyu and others a rest time.
As the team's arrow, Yang Xiaozhuang has played a lot of games. Although he is very clear that his physical condition is getting stronger and stronger and healthier, and even has the effect of physical training in the stadium of different dimensions to correct his physical energy, he is unlikely to feel fatigue now.
But... Solskjaer dared not take this risk!
Now it has reached the final stage of the entire season. If Chinese Yang was injured at this time, that season would be ruined!
Even though the scientific sports team and the medical team praised Yang Xiaozhuang's physical condition, Solskjaer did not plan to let Chinese Yang play in the League Cup final. Manchester United have won the League Cup for two consecutive seasons. What's the point of having to use this thing? Will you not be tired if you really think of your own player?
By next season, we will leave the League Cup for substitutes and young players to practice. The first team's game tasks are already heavy enough, so we can't be distracted from it anymore.
As Manchester United's midfield commander, B Fee has played 41 games for Manchester United in various competitions this season. Even if he consumes much less physical energy than others due to position reasons, he will inevitably experience fatigue after a long-term continuous game.
As for Aliyu... this kid is purely a model worker. He relies on his youth and excellent physical fitness, and he has no national team's game mission yet, so he has played for Manchester United for 42 games this season!
According to Manchester United's schedule, after the League Cup final between this League Cup and Watford, they will soon meet with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League in a row. Although even if Manchester United loses these two rounds, they may not necessarily lose the league championship, but... it is better to win the strong dialogue!
Victory will definitely keep the team's good condition continuity, and the players' self-confidence will also be improved!
As for the League Cup...it's really irrelevant!
But even if Solskjaer and Manchester United management don’t care about the League Cup, they still... won the League Cup!
On March 3, Manchester United did not line up the main lineup at Wembley Stadium, and even had a little bit of a deal with the situation. The forward line even replaced Yang Xiaozhuang with Hames Wilson, but even so, the goals of Mansa, Blinder, Pereira and Rashford still helped Manchester United defeat Watford with a score of 6:1... The gap between the strength of the two sides is still too big!
After Manchester United won this League Cup, they completed a three-game winning streak of the League Cup!
This ridiculous record can even rank second in the history of the League Cup. Only Manchester United's rival "Reds" Liverpool won four consecutive League Cups.
But that record was created by Liverpool in the 1980s. In recent years, except for Manchester United, other teams have not even defended the League Cup. Many teams are training in this event.
Like Manchester United won three consecutive championships in the League Cup...this kind of thing is really a bit weird!
But in fact, Solskjaer has no choice but to do so. This season, Manchester United has promoted too many players from the reserve team, which also makes many of them need more opportunities to train. How could this group of reserve team players from Manchester United grow really fast? After most of the season, Aliyu, Warren, Mansa, Tuanzebe, Mark Touminai, and Joe Reilly are almost able to play the main players, and their performances when they appear many times are also very reassuring.
As a result... Manchester United reached the League Cup final along the way, and won the League Cup without any effort!
After winning the League Cup, Solskjaer, who returned to Manchester, didn't even want to celebrate. The next day, he started training with the team's main lineup, and in two days he would have a home match against the "Reds" Liverpool.
Manchester United has lost to their city rival Manchester City three times this season, but... Losing to "Blue Moon" is not the end of the world. On the contrary, if they lose to Liverpool, everyone from Manchester United will be criticized!
Fortunately, the League Cup final did not bring physical impact to Manchester United's main lineup, and Solskjaer could also be assured and bold as to let the team go all out in the second "Double Red Club" of this season.
Although Manchester United currently has a great lead in the league standings, it still pays unprecedented attention to this game with Liverpool. After the last training session before the game, Solskjaer told the players about the team's goals.
"Young guys, I don't need to say too much about what the game against Liverpool means. In the first match this season, we all won the away game. This time I hope the team can win, which is also the expectation of all Manchester United fans! Last time, Yang dominated the game and became the hero of the city of Manchester. This time... no matter who it is, let me stand up with another hero!"
Manchester United players didn't say anything, but after they went home that night, many people spoke out on the self-media to express their determination...
Rashford: Tomorrow, you will win!
Aliyu: The second "Double Red Club" is here, I hope I can score a goal tomorrow!
Tuanzebe: I feel that my physical fitness is very good now. If I can, I will definitely be able to run wildly for 90 minutes tomorrow.
Even Demarle Grey, who just arrived at Manchester United in a winter transfer, spoke out: "Double Red Club" has special significance. He hopes to score goals in the game or give assists to his teammates, which can help the team win!
Manchester United spared no effort to build momentum for this game, but Liverpool was... extremely low-key!
"Uncle Zha" who has always had a fierce personality has been silent this time because only he knows... It's really too difficult for the "Red Army" now!
Salah needs to rest for 10 days when he is injured, and he will definitely not be able to play this time. In addition, Mane, Firmino, and Christian are all slightly injured. Whether they can play in the game depends on how they recover.
Chapter completed!
