I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

When Manchester United resumed training on January 14, Ye Su found that Rooney became a lot more silent, and he became more and more involved in training.

Ye Su knew that Lu Xiaopang was stimulated.

Just a day before, his good friend Cristiano Ronaldo won the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or, this is the second time in a row that Ronaldo has won the FIFA Ballon d'Or and the third time in his career. It's about to catch up with Messi.

Seeing his good friends winning awards in succession, but he didn't even make it to the selection list for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, Lu Xiaopang's mood must be very complicated.

If it was in the past, he would just send a blessing to his friends without thinking too much, but now he has a lot of thoughts.

This has a lot to do with Lu Xiaopang's current situation.

This season, Lu Xiaopang has performed very well. With 16 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League, he not only leads the Premier League scorer list, but also tops the Premier League assist list. He is the best player in the entire Premier League.

In addition, in the Europa League, he also had 2 goals and 2 assists.

Because of his excellent performance on the two fronts, Rooney's recent upward trend in various lists in the football field is very obvious. The British media even said that he is already the number one center forward in today's football.

In the past two years, due to poor overall performance, Rooney basically had no hope of competing for awards such as the Golden Globe. Even before the start of the season, Ye Su said that he would lead him back to the pinnacle of his career, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought it was the head coach trying to reassure him as the captain of the team.

But now that half a season has passed, what happened made him feel like he was in a dream. Not only did Manchester United top the standings in the Premier League, but he himself played the best half of a season in his career, dominating both the top scorers and assists charts.

If this trend continues, at this time next year, even if he can't win the Golden Globe, it is very possible to be in the top ten or even the top five.

Even, if Manchester United can perform well in the Europa League and finally win the championship, it is not impossible for him to take this opportunity to reach the top three of next year's Ballon d'Or.

………………

With an idea in mind, Rooney couldn't calm down a little.

Serious training is only one aspect, but in the weekend game against Queens Park Rangers, the opponent became the object of Lu Xiaopang's vent. In the away game at Loftus Road Stadium, Lu Xiaopang kicked his head and kicked his head, left and right, and "cracked" three QPRs, leading the team to a 4-0 victory over the opponent.

This is because Ye Su took the initiative to replace Rooney in the 70th minute of the game. Otherwise, Lu Xiaopang, who was so red-eyed, didn't know if he would score again.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, De Bruyne also performed a hat-trick, but the hat-trick he performed was an assist. This allowed Ding Ding's assists to reach 10, thus surpassing Rooney and becoming the Premier League assist king.

At the same time that Manchester United was killing all sides at the Loftus Stadium, there was also a massacre at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea, Wales. The Blues swept home team Swansea 5-0 here. In this game, Diego Costa scored twice and continued to follow Rooney in the Premier League scorer list.

In addition, Oscar also scored twice, and Schurrle added the icing on the cake, scoring the Blues' fifth goal.

Manchester United and Chelsea continued to rush forward, but Manchester City was blocked by Arsenal. The Gunners beat Blue Moon 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium thanks to goals from Cazorla and Giroud.

Manchester City, which lost, was widened by Manchester United and Chelsea.

………………

After entering 2015, in addition to the lackluster performance of Manchester United in the first game of the new year, the performance of the following games is getting better and better. The team gives people a feeling of getting better.

This may have something to do with the gradual loosening of Manchester United's schedule. Because in addition to the world-famous Christmas Devil schedule, Manchester United's games slowly resumed the rhythm of one game a week, which allowed the players to recover to a certain extent.

Of course, another reason is that the cooperation between the players is becoming more and more tacit.

On the penultimate weekend of January, Manchester United ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup and played away against the English second team Cambridge United.

Because the schedule is relatively easy, Ye Su only made a small amount of rotation, almost playing with the full main lineup. This made Cambridge United, which is only ranked in the middle of the second division, completely confronted. They conceded 3 goals in the first half. Rooney, Vardy and De Bruyne each scored a goal. Browne and Mata contributed separately.

The game was settled at halftime, and shortly after the start of the second half, Ye Su replaced Rooney and other main players to give young players like James Wilson a chance to play and practice.

In the end, Manchester United beat Cambridge United 3-0 away and advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

………………

On the last day of January, Manchester United ushered in the 23rd round of the Premier League, sitting at Old Trafford against Leicester City.

In this game, Manchester United still showed an excellent competitive state. They took a 3-goal lead in the first half. Rooney and Vardy broke the Blue Fox's goal in the 27th and 32nd minutes respectively.

In the 27th minute, Kanter sent an overhead ball after stealing in the frontcourt. Rooney broke into the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot 12 yards from the right rib. The ball flew into the far corner and Manchester United led 1-0.

In the 32nd minute, Rooney made a straight pass, and Bruno Fernandez broke into the penalty area with a single-handed shot from 10 yards from the right rib. Schwarzer saved the ball, and Vardy grabbed a tackle from 5 yards from the goal. Manchester United 2:0 lead.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United won another corner kick. Wayne Rooney took a left corner kick, and Maguire headed the ball before, and Leicester City defender Morgan accidentally scored an own goal under the pressure of Manchester United players. Manchester United led 3:0.

In the 80th minute of the game, the Blue Fox pulled back a victory. Cambiasso passed the ball, and Albrighton made a pass from the right. Vasilevski, who was unguarded, scored with a header from 5 yards, rewriting the score to 3:1.

After the victory, Manchester United achieved a record of 17 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in 23 rounds of the Premier League, and scored 56 points, continuing to lead the Premier League standings.

Not long after Manchester United's game ended, their two main rivals, Chelsea and Manchester City, launched a fierce battle at Stamford Bridge.

In the game, Chelsea's Remy scored for Chelsea in the 41st minute, but before the end of the first half, David Silva equalized for Blue Moon.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and made peace in this double-blue game, and both sides got one point each.

However, neither Chelsea fans nor Manchester City fans are happy.

For Chelsea, they are now 3 points behind Manchester United, and they have also been overtaken by Manchester United in terms of goal difference.

After three rounds of invincibility, Manchester City has changed from only 1 point behind Manchester United to 8 points behind Manchester United, almost withdrawing from the championship.

………………

But United fans weren't happy for long, as their team made a mistake of their own the following weekend.

In the away game at the London Olympic Stadium, Manchester United's performance was a bit out of shape. Although they controlled the game from the scene, they really posed few threats.

On the contrary, the home team, West Ham United, used iron barrels to deal with Manchester United's siege, and at the same time used long passes to counterattack to threaten Manchester United's goal.

In the 49th minute, West Ham dropped a free kick into the penalty area. Rooney headed the ball not far away. The unguarded Kouyat bounced the ball twice with his back to the goal, then turned around and scored with his right foot, rewriting the score on the field. With a score of 1:0, Manchester United fell behind as a guest.

Although Manchester United immediately launched a strong counterattack, the shots of Rooney, Vardy, Mata and others were either blocked by the players of the Hammers or missed by themselves.

Until the regular 90 minutes, Manchester United was still behind in the away game.

In desperation, Ye Su had no choice but to fight against West Ham. He replaced Fellaini with Fellaini, allowing the Belgian to stand in the opponent's penalty area and act as a bridgehead. De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandez and others frequently dropped the ball into West Ham's penalty area, and the two sides fought bayonets.

Manchester United's indiscriminate bombing finally worked in the 92nd minute of the game. Bruno Fernandes lobbed the ball into the penalty area, and the West Ham United defender header was not far away. De Bruyne volleyed the ball with his right foot from 14 yards to equalize.

In the end, Manchester United drew 1:1 with West Ham in the away game, and it was difficult to get 1 point.

However, this 1 point also allows Manchester United to continue to suppress Chelsea by 1 point and continue to lead the Premier League standings.

………………

After entering mid-February, Manchester United's schedule became dense again.

At 7:45 pm on February 11, Manchester United played against Burnley at home.

This game finally became "normal", mainly because Manchester United soldiers corrected their attitude.

Rooney became the winner of this game.

In the 6th minute, Bruno Fernandez took a left corner kick. Vardy headed the ball forward and Maguire headed back to the center. Rooney scored with a header from 5 yards. Manchester United 1:0 Burnley.

However, Burnley quickly leveled the score. In the 12th minute, Van Dijk's clearance ball was intercepted by Burnley, Trippier made a cross from the right, and the unguarded Eggers scored a header from 5 yards, breaking through Manchester United's city.

However, Manchester United once again overscored the score before the end of the first half.

In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Manchester United took a tactical corner kick on the right, De Bruyne made a cross from the right, and then Vardy scored with a header from 6 yards, Manchester United 2:1 Burnley.

In the 81st minute, Vardy was brought down by Arfield in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick. It is worth noting that this is also the first time Manchester United has won a penalty kick in the league this season.

Seeing the referee pointing to the penalty spot, Ye Su on the sidelines had mixed feelings. After leading the team to play 40 official games, he finally won the first penalty.

Rooney took the penalty overnight, Manchester United 3:1 Burnley.
