Chapter 506: Shooter leads the team!

Chelsea supporters were very dissatisfied with the team's performance. Coupled with the instigation of the English media, criticism of the "Blue Army" in the English football world was really everywhere.

But while scolding... everyone found that the "Blue Army" had won four consecutive victories in the league, and then their position in the Premier League standings rose to fourth place, and a 4-point difference between them and the "Gunners" ranked fifth.

However... it is a bit difficult for the "Blue Army" to threaten the third-ranked "Red Army", and the difference between them reached 7 points!

In mid-December, Manchester United went to Australia, played two Club World Cups and easily defeated Argentina in the final, completing three consecutive Club World Cup championships.

After returning to England, Manchester United finally encountered some tests due to the schedule. They started two days and once on December 26, and they encountered three strong teams, Liverpool, Leicester and Arsenal, in a row. They played away against Leicester on December 28 and Arsenal on December 30. Although they played against the "Red Army" and the "Gunners" were all at home, such a schedule... is simply deadly!

The English media have also criticized the defending champions, and even the bookmakers have adjusted the odds in these three games, especially in the 30th of Manchester United's home game against Arsenal. The odds of the "Gunners" who played away even exceeded those of Manchester United!

Everyone believes that after Manchester United has been playing against Liverpool and Leicester in a row, they returned to Old Trafford to play against Arsenal. Even if they were playing at home, it would be very difficult to win Arsenal.

"The devil schedule after Christmas is completely hell mode for Manchester United. The strength of the three teams, Liverpool, Leicester and Arsenal, may not be as strong as Manchester United, but the schedule is really unfriendly for Manchester United. They have to play against these three powerful teams in a row in five days, and it is really difficult to win all of them."

"It only depends on the schedule. It is very difficult for Manchester United to win three games, but it is relatively easy if they only win two games. Just pay a little attention when setting up the team, and they will definitely win two games."

"Leicester will most likely make a profit due to Manchester United's schedule. Once they win at home, they will have a chance to make the league's top six."

"Because the schedule is too frequent, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Manchester United may give up away games with Leicester. After all, Manchester United still maintains a 4-point advantage over Manchester City in the standings. Even if they give up away games with Leicester, they will still not lose their lead position, and Manchester United's main players will usher in a rare opportunity to recuperate."

Everyone believes that Manchester United should be more conservative in such a frequent schedule due to the fatigue of the team. Giving up a game will not affect the overall situation for the "Red Devils". At the same time, it will also allow Manchester United players to get enough rest time, which will help the team have more advantages in the next battle.

However, the choice made by the "Red Devil" was to make everyone eat!

Manchester United...win!

All won!

In five days and three games, especially when encountering three strong teams like Liverpool, Leicester, and Arsenal, almost no team will do their best in three games. That is really hard work. The players' physical fitness will definitely be tested greatly, and multiple players may even be injured.

But, Manchester United did it!

In these three games, Solskjaer and Manchester United's coaching staff made precise staffing arrangements, and in addition to the goalkeeper position, players in each position were rotated or had enough rest time.

Like Yang Xiaozhuang, the Manchester United flag, got the chance to play in three games, but the playing time in each game is only 55 minutes. Once the time comes... no matter how many goals Yang Xiaozhuang scores, no matter what the situation is in the game, Solskjaer will replace Yang Xiaozhuang directly.

In other words, in these three games, Yang Xiaozhuang played for a total of 165 minutes, but... he scored 8 goals!

165 minutes...8 balls!

Scored a goal in less than 21 minutes!

With such crazy efficiency, the entire English football world was almost scared to death!

On December 26, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 3:1 at home, and Yang Xiaozhuang scored twice...

On December 28, Manchester United scored 0:6 against Leicester away, and Yang Xiaozhuang's "five sons passed the exam"...

On December 30, Manchester United defeated Arsenal 3:0 at home, and Yang Xiaozhuang scored 1 shot and 1 pass...

After Manchester United scored three consecutive victories again, the Premier League also went on for 19 rounds, which was equivalent to half of the schedule. Manchester United firmly took the lead with 18 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss and 54 points.

Manchester City, which was ranked second before, scored a 0-0 draw against Southampton away in the 18th round of the game. Not only did they fail to catch up with the score when Manchester United experienced the hell schedule, they were scored by Manchester United by 2 points in the standings, and their current record is 15 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss and 48 points!

"Red Army" Liverpool is currently ranked third, while "Blue Army" Chelsea is still firmly ranked fourth!

Now no one scolds Yaldim and his team anymore. Chelsea has lost 4 games this season, losing all the games against Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, and then unexpectedly lost to Burnley away.

It can be said that Yaldim and his team are still very stable. It is not that they have not played their own strength, but that there is really a slight gap between them and Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool.

Overall, Manchester City is obviously the strongest, and Liverpool is not bad at all compared to Chelsea. On the contrary, the "Red Devils" as the defending champion are actually not very strong on paper.

But... Manchester United has "God Yang"!

After playing in the Premier League for 19 rounds, Yang Xiaozhuang has now fully demonstrated his world's number one star. His performance is all ranked first in the rankings of offense-related technical statistics such as scorers, assists, best players, average game ratings, etc.

Especially in the scorer list, Yang Xiaozhuang has scored 32 goals, and his efficiency of 32 goals in the half-time is no less than the record 66 goals last season!

Haaland, who ranks second in the scorer list, is currently extremely fierce, scoring 24 goals. However, although the "Demon" has the qualification to challenge Manchester United's "King", it is only qualified and cannot pose a substantial threat to Yang Xiaozhuang.

Firmino, who ranked third in the scorer list, scored 16 goals, and Lewandon, who ranked fourth, scored 15 goals!
