Seven hundred and fifty-five: Licking a dog is too humble!
Galatasaray ended in a dull draw with Club Brugge in the first round of the Champions League group stage.
This result can be said to be a lose-lose for both Galatasaray and Bruges.
This is indeed the group of death for Galatasaray and Club Brugge.
If you can't win from the opponent, it's basically hopeless to qualify.
In the second round of the group stage, they faced Manchester United at home, who had defeated Real Madrid in the first round. Galatasaray had a very low attitude at home, with a 532 formation focusing on defensive counterattacks.
Relying on veterans Babel and Falcao in front, the three central defenders are positioned on the penalty area line. They will never defend forward and retreat to the goal at any time to block the goal.
Manchester United took the initiative after the opening game. Lin Huang, who scored in three consecutive games, was extremely active.
Mike Tormina played defensively as a defensive midfielder, but Pogba surprisingly managed both offense and defense, and the offense did not waver.
Although Pogba sometimes seems to have an underpaid IQ, it is not that the value is negative. He knows very well that under the background of Manchester United's recent outstanding performance, if he cannot perform well, the outside world will understand him as deliberately failing!
To confront Mourinho and change his destiny in the team, he must perform well.
But now Ye Yifeng and Lin Huang, who are the most outstanding performers in the midfield and frontcourt of the team, are the ones he must support when he plays this position, so he can only do his job step by step.
With the intensity brought by Pogba, Manchester United's midfield defense did not have much problem. Galatasaray's fast break reached the frontcourt and fell into an isolated and helpless situation.
Babel and Falcao struggled to pass and cut, and from time to time they would take a slightly reluctant shot.
The situation is very serious for Galatasaray, and the fans have been mentally prepared for it, but they can stay calm.
On Manchester United's side, Lin Huang is a bit arrogant.
After the opening, two consecutive waves of offensive attempts were made in front of the penalty area to attempt personal long-range shots or breakthroughs. As a result, the ball was missed. One breakthrough was intercepted by Seri, who played as a midfielder for Galatasaray today.
Lin Huang woke up instantly after the ball was intercepted.
Logically speaking, his condition has soared and his performance has improved. It's okay for him to try more personal performances. As long as he doesn't insist on personal heroism, his teammates won't mind.
But Lin Huang suddenly woke up and quickly gestured to his teammates to apologize.
Then he frequently passed the ball to Ye Yifeng.
He was scolded by Seri and knocked to the ground by Nzongqi. Although he felt a little unhappy, he was not angry at all.
Just wait and see!
My brother will take care of you!
Ye Yifeng did not go to the right to cause trouble for Japanese full-back Yuto Nagatomo. Instead, he moved the ball more frequently from the left and cut inside. When Lin was in good condition, he could pull wide. When Lin was in poor condition, he would naturally have to Return to the middle.
Break into the penalty area from the wing to take long-range shots or deliver cannonballs to teammates.
Galatasaray's three central defenders are ineffective in frontal interceptions, but they block the shot path but can still hit the spot.
In addition to Ye Yifeng's shot sliding through the door, subsequent shots as well as those of James and Rashford were either blocked by the defender with their body, or were too accurate and were confiscated by goalkeeper Muslera.
At the end of the half, Manchester United shot 14 times but failed to score!
Mourinho was calm and collected, but the players were so angry that their heads were smoking!
It seems that Galatasaray's defense is not strong. If it was strong, it should limit the number of shots they take.
However, Manchester United had many shooting opportunities and they were evenly distributed.
But just couldn't break through Galatasaray's goal.
This allowed them to return to the field for the second half with some anger.
Falcao and Babel still failed to create enough threats in the counterattack.
Even if there is an operation that can pass one person, he will be brought down to the ground by the Manchester United defender immediately.
In the 54th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng cut across the center from the left side of the frontcourt to receive Pogba's pass. He pulled the ball in a V shape and dodged Nzonzi before firing a long shot. The football flew into the penalty area and was beaten by center defender Donke. Block out.
Ye Yifeng looked back and saw that Pogba was in possession of the ball again, so he continued to run and receive the ball. Pogba also smoothly sent the ball to his feet.
Change the angle and posture, and start shooting again!
The football that shot out of the arc bypassed the Galatasaray defender, but saw the football hit the crossbar and then bounced into the stands.
Ye Yifeng looked up to the sky and sighed!
I wondered if the night before when I came back from the nightclub and had a night of role-playing with Tang Mo for the first time had affected my state.
It reminds me of the scene where Tang Mo dressed up as a teacher and put on his shirt as a student.
Legs are hard!
He quickly rubbed his face to concentrate.
Galatasaray fans were on tenterhooks, but the fact that they hadn't conceded a goal made them feel like they might be possessed by gods today!
But it is difficult for them to cause trouble for Manchester United.
Falcao and Babel took turns taking long shots, but they failed to give De Gea a buttery hand. Without world waves, it was basically impossible to break Manchester United's goal.
James and Rashford missed some chances.
In the 70th minute of the game, Mourinho made a substitution.
Martial comes on to replace Rashford.
That's all.
Now Mourinho only hopes that Lukaku can come back soon.
With Lukaku here, at least Manchester United's offense can be richer.
Galatasaray made conservative substitutions as Babel and Falcao's physical fitness declined, and their intention to strengthen defense was very obvious.
In the 74th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng's consciousness fell into darkness.
Open the Arsenal.
Cruyff joins the fight!
In the 77th minute of the game, he received the ball from the left wing, then retreated and turned into a cross-cutting track. After containing the defense, he sent a high-quality cross.
But Martial seemed to resist heading the ball in the right rib area of the penalty area, and finally pushed the ball over the baseline.
Manchester United's will to win was clearly demonstrated.
After 80 minutes, full-scale oppression began!
Lin Huang and Pogba's long-range shots from the outside were still rejected.
In the 86th minute of the game, Ashley Young reached the bottom line and knocked the ball back to find Ye Yifeng. When the latter was pressed, he retreated and passed the ball across.
Pogba then passed the ball to Lin Huang, who quickly shifted his attack to the front and right of the penalty area.
I saw Martial rushing in, changing the direction of the ball, going outside to break through Teixeira, and then sent a pass to the ground.
The ball bypassed the back line and quickly rolled towards the back of the goal.
James was originally responding near the back point. He ran diagonally to grab the point and seemed to have a high probability of completing the shot.
But just when he ran in front of the football and started to shoot, a figure came from the side and shot the ball first, knocking him out of the baseline!
The football flew into the goal against the inside of the left goal post.
Muslera was powerless this time.
Ye Yifeng!
The whole audience was stunned!
James sat down on the baseline and was completely stunned!
Damn it!
That goal was mine!
After Ye Yifeng scored, he walked to the baseline, stretched out his hand to James, and said to him: You were offside just now.
James blinked.
I?
More, offside? !
Ten thousand scripts went through his mind, but he didn't expect that the Manchester United devil could still blame him for stealing his goal.
When Ye Yifeng pulled him up, he saw the teammates who were rushing towards him all smiling. Being completely infected by the atmosphere, he also smiled.
Well, I was offside just now.
Ye Yifeng touched his head, then turned around and hugged his teammates.
The Galatasaray generals sighed with great regret.
Still got killed!
The Red Devils fans looked at the big screen replaying the goal and whispered among themselves.
Ye Yifeng's sprint to grab the point was not powerful at all, as if he didn't even see James take a shot!
But James does seem to be suspected of being offside.
It's just that the ball was scored by Ye Yifeng, so there was no need to use the camera or draw a line to see if James was offside.
Fortunately, fortunately.
Fortunately the ball went in.
Fortunately, Ye Yifeng stopped shooting and then ignored James on the ground.
He still had some conscience and went to pull James up.
Look, this is the captain's style!
Mourinho used the second substitution.
Fred comes on to replace James.
Although James has shown some fatigue from continuous battles in this game, his condition has declined somewhat.
But the Red Devils fans still applauded.
I don't know if I am comforting him for Ye Yifeng.
Manchester United switched to defensive counterattack tactics, but Galatasaray's counterattack was not strong enough.
In the end, Manchester United won two consecutive group stage victories by winning Galatasaray 1:0 with Ye Yifeng's winning goal.
Real Madrid drew 2:2 with Club Brugge at home.
Manchester United, which is 4 points ahead of second place, is in a good position to advance.
Lin Huang's streak of goals came to an end, but he still did a good job as the leader of the atmosphere team.
Mourinho said in an interview after the game that the team had bad luck today.
27 shots were fired and one goal was scored.
When Ye Yifeng and James were interviewed successively after leaving the locker room and passing by the mixed area, their confessions were consistent.
When Ye Yifeng was asked why he grabbed James' opportunity, he said: Because he was offside!
When James was asked about being robbed of a scoring opportunity by Ye Yifeng, he also said: Actually, I was offside!
The reporters secretly cursed: Licking a dog is really too humble!
There was no technical staff to review whether he was offside or not.
But the current situation is that even if he is not offside, he will insist that he is offside!
He was knocked over by Ye Yifeng and was robbed of a goal scoring opportunity by Ye Yifeng. There was nothing wrong with him!
If you include the European Super Cup, Manchester United has won 11 consecutive victories in all other competitions since the new season except for the Community Shield failure!
After playing the weekend league, it will enter the FIFA match day.
Although Ye Yifeng was not called up by the national team, he still planned to return to China.
Visit to see parents and children.
Tang Mo also had this intention and expressed his intention to draw a family portrait.
Ye Yifeng said on the surface that he was looking forward to it, but in his heart he was praying that the species in the hand-painted family portrait was human.
Pogba was put into the weekend's starting lineup by Mourinho due to his good performance in the Champions League in midweek. Rashford was on the bench, Martial started, Aoki unexpectedly got the starting spot, and James withdrew from the starting lineup. Take turns.
Manchester United travel to St James' Park to challenge Newcastle United.
Mourinho is starting to get a little distracted again.
Manchester United has won 7 consecutive league games.
Liverpool also has a 7-game winning streak.
When will the Red Army lose its grip? !
