Chapter 431 Babyface Anger!
Chapter 431 The anger of "babyface"!
There is really no suspense in the game between Manchester United and AEK. From the beginning of the game, Manchester United took the initiative and launched a tide of attacks on the opponent. Even if the team did not send all the main players, there were only Yang Xiaozhuang, Mansa and De Gea who were considered main players, but the strength between them and their opponents still had this natural gap.
In the first half, although Yang Xiaozhuang only scored one goal, because of his pull, he gave Andreas Pereira on the left more opportunities. The wide attacker developed by Manchester United himself actually completed a hat-trick in the first half, helping Manchester United gain a huge advantage of 4:0 in the first half.
As the game entered the second half, Yang Xiaozhuang was replaced by Rashford, but Manchester United's offensive was still fierce!
As a result, Rashford, who came on as a substitute in the second half, also scored a hat-trick and assisted his good brother Andreas Pereira to score his fourth goal, and made a "big four-game" for the first time in his career, and... it was also a "big four-game" in the Champions League!
In the end, Manchester United, who played at home, defeated Athens AEK team with an 8-0 score, and won the third victory in the Champions League group stage with ease, which also allowed Manchester United to score 9 points in Group F and sat firmly in the top position of the group.
The second place is Benfica, who played two consecutive home games and defeated Athens AEK and Zenit with two 2:0 respectively.
Zenit, who wants to reach the top 16 of the Champions League, can only return to his home court and fight with Benfica, otherwise they will have no chance. As for Athens AEK, who lost all three group stages, they can basically confirm their fate of being eliminated in the Champions League group stage.
However, the good situation in the Champions League is meaningless to the "Red Devils". The next domestic game in England is the key battle that affects the team's final goal this season. Three games a week... two of them cannot be lost!
Manchester United cannot lose the next two league games, but the "Red Army" Liverpool cannot lose anymore. Although Klopp led his team to a three-game winning streak in the Champions League group stage, he became the top in the group, and is the only team among the five English teams participating in the Champions League this season that can be compared with Manchester United. The other three teams, such as Manchester City, Everton and Arsenal, have not been able to win three consecutive games.
However, Liverpool's performance in the Premier League this season was not very ideal. Now it is only ranked 9th with 3 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses and 11 points. The difference between it and Manchester United, which is topped by the top has reached as much as 11 points!
Of course, the key is that Liverpool is 7 points away from Newcastle, which currently ranks fourth. This is just the record of eight rounds of the new season. Now there is such a big gap. How can you chase forward and compete for the top four Champions League tickets?
So this time when Klopp led the team to Old Trafford, he held a pre-match press conference in advance due to time constraints and expressed his wishes to the reporters...
"All of us know how difficult it is to defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford, and it is even almost an impossible task. But for today's Red Army, we have no way out. We must strive for victory in this field, and at least we must ensure that we will escape unscathed! We made too many concessions for the Champions League group stage before, and now we have gained a great advantage in the Champions League group stage. Next, we will put all our energy into the league!"
Next, Klopp announced the Liverpool roster in this game...
Attack line, Firmino burst into a sudden position, Salah is on the right, and Mandzukic is on the left.
Midfielder Keita and Emre Jan are responsible for organizing and mobilizing, while the defender is still the captain Henderson, who is in charge of the midfielder.
On the defense line, German left-back Raoul Petrata, who had only transferred this season, Dutch central defender Hort, all won, and Van Dijk and Joe Gomez formed the defense line together.
In the goalkeeper position, Serbian goalkeeper Horedrag Rajkovic, who was only bought this season, appeared on the roster, while Belgian goalkeeper Miniole sat on the bench.
It can be said that for this game, "Uncle Scrap" really made up his mind and was not merciless at all. He is in a better state and more useful way, so whoever is on the court!
As a result, when Solskjaer brought his team to Old Trafford Stadium and attended the pre-match press conference, his baby face turned out to be cold... Solskjaer was in a bad mood!?
Indeed, Solskjaer is in a very unhappy mood now!
Very...unhappy!
Because on the way to Old Trafford Stadium, he received a call from Demarle Grey's agent, and there was only one topic... a salary increase!
It is undeniable that Demarle Gray is only receiving a salary of 55,000 pounds at Manchester United. With his current performance, it is indeed a bit low. The salary increase... is understandable!
But you call before our team wants to play the "Double Red Club". What does this mean?
In this game, Demale Gray was also on the 18-man roster. Solskjaer even excluded Andreas Pereira, who had shown a hot state in the Champions League group stage before, because he felt that Demale Gray he bought was a winger who was good at fighting tough battles.
As a result... at such a critical moment, your agent actually came to me for a raise?
What's even more excessive is that Demarle Grey's salary is as high as 350,000 pounds a week, which is directly in line with B Fee, even higher than the main players such as De Gea, Aliyu, Martial, Rashford, and Tuanzebe!
Demarle Grey...How dare you open your mouth so big?
Moreover, Solskjaer also heard what the other party said. Even if there is room for bargaining for this request, it will not be less than 300,000 pounds per week!
It's just like a silly person!
Demarle Grey is not an irreplaceable core player. He even ranks behind Martial and Rashford on the offensive end, but his appetite... is bigger than Martial and Rashford!
Sure enough... it's not a child raised by himself, but a player who came to Manchester United for money, that's really unreliable!
And, no time to go!
In front of the reporters, Solskjaer suppressed his anger and announced his team's roster and substitute list. If Demarle Grey had not been decided as a substitute, Solskjaer would have wished to replace him immediately.
Chapter completed!
