After Christmas until New Year's Day, there are still the 19th and 20th rounds of the Premier League. Zhang Mai played all the games to make his final contribution to leaving the team.
12月26日，英超第19轮，利物浦在主场5比0大胜纽卡斯尔，将赛季连胜扩大到19场。
Zhang Mai scored twice and Salah made a pass, Shaqiri and Fabinho scored.Liverpool continue to lead the standings.
利物浦近22个主场对阵纽卡斯尔取得18胜4平保持不败。纽卡最近一次在安菲尔德球场取胜还是1995年11月的联赛杯第4轮。
Liverpool's backcourt is still all the main players in this campaign, the midfielder is led by Zhang Mai, Shaqiri and Wijnaldum are on the left and the right, and the trident on the forward line also starts.
Klopp used up three substitutions in the second half. Fabinho, Sturridge and Klein appeared successively, and Fabinho also scored a goal.
At the same time, in another game at the King Power Stadium, 10-man Manchester City suffered a 1-2 losing streak, 14 points away from the top Liverpool.
Manchester City lost 1-2 away to Leicester City, Aguero assisted Bernardo to score, Albrighton and Pereira scored 2 goals to overtake, Delph was sent off before the end.After Manchester City suffered a losing streak, they were overtaken by Tottenham and fell to the No.3 position in the league.
Tottenham beat Bournemouth 5-0 at home in this round. Sun Xingmin scored twice. Tottenham, which has won consecutive victories, rose to second place in the league, 13 points away from Liverpool.
According to talkSPORT reports, Arsenal star Parlor said that Tottenham can definitely compete with Manchester City and Liverpool this season for the Premier League title.
After defeating Everton 6-2 in the last round, Tottenham ranked third in the standings, only 3 points behind Manchester City. After this round, Tottenham successfully surpassed Manchester City.
"You can't exclude them (title contenders)," Parlor said.
"I've always said it's going to be a two-team rivalry, Man City and Liverpool, but when you look at the table, Tottenham are already one point ahead of Man City, so if they continue to play their way and everybody Stay healthy, then they have this opportunity."
"Tottenham played very well against Everton last round and now they are having a fantastic season and they haven't had a draw yet. Tottenham have a great starting XI and they can definitely challenge Liverpool and Manchester City .”
But before the Tottenham fans were happy, they were hit head-on by the media's revelation that "Barcelona is eyeing England's number one star and will replace him with Messi in the future."
"Daily Sports" quoted the British "Daily Express" as saying that Barcelona is currently in pole position for Kane's suitors.
In January next year, Suarez will be 1 years old. Finding a successor at the center position has also become the focus of Barcelona's signings.
According to reports, Barcelona wants to find a replacement for Suarez in the near future. The Uruguayan is about to turn 32 years old, and the decline in his state is inevitable. In Barcelona's view, Kane is the most suitable candidate to replace Suarez.
In addition to Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United have expressed interest in Kane.
The 25-year-old Kane definitely has the capital to gain a foothold in the giants. In this year's World Cup, as the top card of the England team, he led the team to the semi-finals.
In the Champions League group stage this season, Barcelona and Tottenham have played against each other twice, so the Barcelona executives know how good Kane is.
Kane is expected to leave Tottenham next summer, but it remains to be seen how much Barcelona are willing to pay for him.
British bookmakers opened the market for Kane to join Barcelona. In their view, Kane, one of the best strikers in Europe, is fully worthy of playing in Barcelona.
In the 19th round of the Premier League, Tottenham beat Bournemouth 5-0 at home and successfully rose to second place in the standings. South Korean king Sun Xingmin broke out again in the game and scored twice, which is one of the biggest contributors to Tottenham's victory:
In the 23rd minute of the game, Sun Xingmin received a pass from Peters inside the penalty area and shot it into the lower right corner of the goal, helping Tottenham further expand the score;
In the 70th minute, Lucas Jr.'s explosive shot from the edge of the penalty area was saved by the Everton goalkeeper. Sun Xingmin seized the opportunity and dribbled the ball past the goalkeeper to score from close range, locking Tottenham at 5 goals in this game.
After the game, the whoscored website gave Sun Xingmin a high score of 8.7 points.
In this game, Sun Xingmin touched the ball 43 times, passed the ball 28 times, passed 2 times, and shot 2 times. Although the number of shots was not many, they were all converted into goals.
In Tottenham's 6-2 sweep of Everton a few days ago, Sun Xingmin also staged a similar plot:
He made 4 goals by himself, 2 of which were his own goals, 1 was an assist, and although Sun Xingmin's shot was saved, Ali followed up and scored.
Looking back on the last three Premier League games (including today against Bournemouth), Sun Xingmin has scored 5 goals and 1 assist in a row, which can be described as a burst of state.
At the beginning of this season, Sun Xingmin also experienced fatigue and confusion after returning from the Asian Games, and his position was once occupied by his teammates.
The outside world is worried that although Sun Xingmin will be exempted from military service, he will gradually lose his original position in Tottenham.
But as time progressed, he quickly found his best form. On the court, he was often the one who opened up the team when the team was deadlocked.
In the recent intensive Christmas schedule, Sun Xingmin's fiery state is undoubtedly the most important weapon for Tottenham, who is eager to make an impact on the Premier League table.
In addition, Sun Xingmin was also shortlisted for the annual list of the top [-] players selected by the "Guardian". He is the only Asian player selected besides Zhang Mai.
In January next year, the Asian Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates. At that time, Sun Xingmin will also meet with the South Korean team after the Premier League game between Tottenham and Manchester United. The Chinese team may be the first opponent he faces in this Asian Cup. .
For the Chinese team, although they have two cards that are invincible in Asia in terms of offense, how to defend the King of Korea, who has been in a state of extreme form recently, is really quite difficult.
Sun Xingmin talked about the Asian Cup in an interview after the game. He expressed his confidence in the Asian Cup against the Chinese team.
Son Heung-min said:
"Because I still have a few league games to play, I will miss the first two group games. But I will join the national team as soon as possible. I can't wait to play for my country as soon as possible. First of all, I will continue to work hard to maintain my form. I hope the current good state can continue in the Asian Cup."
Speaking of the match against Huazu, Sun Xingmin said:
"First of all, we are not only facing one opponent from Huaguo, we will encounter many opponents with different difficulties, so we will try our best to play well in every game. Of course, it will be difficult to face Huaguo team. They have Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin , but I feel confident playing against them."
When it comes to which player in the Chinese team is the most important, Sun Xingmin said bluntly:
"I have played against the Huaguo team many times, and there are too many to count. Zhang Mai changed everything after joining the Huaguo team. The overall strength of the Huaguo team is still very strong in Asia, but football is a test of the team. sports."
Speaking of Chinese men's football coach Lippi, Sun Xingmin said: "He has coached many teams and has rich experience, so I am looking forward to having the opportunity to compete."
Zhang Mai expressed hehe to Sun Xingmin's rhetoric, and felt that Xiao Sun was a little drifting after winning a few games with Tottenham...
Liverpool made great strides, beating Newcastle 5-0, leading the Premier League standings with a high profile, 2 points more than No.13 Tottenham, and 14 points more than their old rival Manchester City.
Red Army coach Klopp said in a low-key manner after the game that he will strive to maintain this momentum until the second half of the season and create his own history.
"The situation is good, we have 13 points more than other teams, but we want to keep this momentum,"
"We want to lay the groundwork for the rest of the season, now that the first half of the season is over," Klopp said.
"We want to make our own history, for the first time in the history of the Premier League, we have won so far and only conceded seven goals, which is good. The statistics are good, the situation is good, but there are still 7 games to play ...so we're going to play Arsenal, we're going to play Man City, we're going to play Tottenham, we're going to play all of them again."
"It's been a very tough, very long road to go and we know that."
When asked if he already knew the result of Manchester City during the game (Manchester City lost 1-2 away to Leicester City), Klopp replied:
"I don't know what the other teams are playing, I don't even know where they are playing. After the game, I got the result and I must say, it didn't affect me, it was just news."
"We've got to win our games, we've got to stay focused, we've got to have a good mood and a vision to see what we get in the end."
Newcastle coach Benitez was once a meritorious coach who led the Red Army to win the Champions League. When it comes to this game, he has nothing to do with the bloody massacre of the Red Army. He has to complain about the penalty kick that Salah won:
"That penalty changed everything, it was a less tough penalty."
The nouveau riche of White Hart Lane come and have a look, the real king is so low-key!
……
The next day's round of 19 matchday also featured several heavyweight events:
Arsenal drew 1-1 away at Brighton at Amex Stadium, Aubameyang scored and Locadia equalized;
Chelsea suffered their first loss at home in the last round, but Sarri did not change the starting lineup. In this round, they beat Watford 2-1 away at Vicarage Road Stadium. Chelsea ranked in the top four after winning streak in away games.
The most anticipated Manchester United defeated Huddersfield 3-1 at home, which was amazing. "Gorgeous attack + full of smiles, Mourinho's shadow was completely wiped out, Manchester United achieved a big change in 2 games!"
In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made his debut as a head coach at Old Trafford for the first time.
After the game, he accepted an interview with the BBC. He believed that Pogba had been fully revived, and Manchester United's football style is to never stop attacking.
Solskjaer said:
"To be honest, I'm still not used to it. It's a humbling experience to manage a team like Manchester United. Let's see if we can adapt. When I was a player, there were a few times. This time I played as captain, but it's a completely different feeling."
"Obviously, Manchester United have the best fans in the world and I have a very close relationship with them. Maybe the parents sitting in the box will be more excited, but all my attention is now focused on the game. Today I am surprised. Played calm and the players helped me a lot."
In the game, De Gea made another superb attack. In the 61st minute, Huddersfield took a corner kick from the right side. De Poitt slammed the goal vigorously without any defense. The ball went straight to the dead corner, but De Gea Ya miraculously saved the ball, Solskjaer believes that this ball is decisive:
"De Gea's save was decisive, it was one of the best saves I've ever seen, I saw the ball going into the dead corner, but De Gea miraculously blocked it with his arm."
Speaking about Pogba, Solskjaer said:
"Pogba knows he has the ability to score more goals and create more chances for the team. Last game he assisted a few goals, this game he scored two goals, he has this ability , I am not surprised. More importantly, he feels very happy and enjoys it now."
Speaking about the team's style, Solskjaer said:
"This is Manchester United, from the start of the game you want to score the first goal, when you score the first goal you want to score the second, when you score the second you want to score the second Three goals, the team will not stop attacking. The next two games are very important for us, and I am also happy that we have won two games. I think in the future games, we must ensure that we complete a clean sheet. We conceded goals from set pieces in both games."
When talking about Manchester United's attacking trident, Solskjaer said: "The team's three attackers have performed well. When Lukaku, Sanchez and others return, we may have a new combination."
Another hearty victory, Ferguson in the stands showed a long-lost smile, this brand new Manchester United has recovered the shadow of the old Manchester United.
Crazy offensiveism, a harmonious team atmosphere, although the team still has one or another problem, but at least Manchester United is on the right path, and the shadow left by Mourinho has at least disappeared.
Judging from OPTA statistics, Manchester United dominated the game again:
Manchester United's ball possession rate reached 65%, the number of shots was as many as 16, and 10 shots were on target. The number of passes of the team reached 634 times, almost twice that of their opponents.
Consistent with these statistics, Manchester United created far more chances on the field than their opponents, and no matter what the team's immediate score was, the team would still continue to attack.
Solskjaer has recovered Manchester United's offensive DNA, and the 7 fans at Old Trafford seem to be dreaming back to Ferguson's time, cheering one after another.
Manchester United scored another god-level team goal in this game:
Manchester United scored the second goal of the field. After De Gea kicked the ball out, the Manchester United players made many consecutive cooperations. In the end, Mata dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area, and then passed the ball in an inverted triangle , Herrera passed to Pogba, who scored.
During the whole process, Huddersfield didn't even touch the ball.Even the BBC exclaimed:
"Isn't this Manchester City's offensive method? It turns out that this group of Manchester United players have such abilities, but Mourinho has not tapped this potential."
Manchester United also had a god-like goal in the last game. Martial, Lingard and Pogba kicked into the wall at the front of the penalty area to cooperate, and finally Martial completed the final blow.
In the two games when Suo Shuai took office, the team played a masterpiece in every game in the offense, and such an offensive cooperation was very rare during the Mourinho period.
Because the premise of this kind of cooperation is that the players' positions on the field are relatively free, and the positions are changed frequently, and Mourinho's tactics require players to stand in their positions.
In Solskjaer's tactical system, every player is an important part of the offensive tactics, and defenders will insert more frequently.
This was unimaginable during Mourinho's time. How could the full-backs go to the penalty area to grab points?
Don't forget that Lindelof dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area in the last game and almost assisted Rashford to score.
These details prove that today's Manchester United has become an offensive-oriented team.
On the other hand, after Mourinho dismissed get out of get out of class, Manchester United's suffocating dressing room atmosphere disappeared.The expressions on the players' faces can tell everything. Every player played very relaxed and comfortable.
Rooney also said: "When you see every Manchester United player enter the field with a smile, you are closer to victory. Solskjaer has recovered these precious things."
Of course, Manchester United's winning streak of two relegation teams is not enough to be happy. After all, Solskjaer has not yet encountered a real strong enemy.
But at least the team's momentum has been clearly reversed, and Solskjaer can at least play the player's true level.
When Mourinho was coaching, the performance of many players on the court was significantly lower than their true level, especially those offensive players headed by Pogba.
When Manchester United can suppress the opponent with wave after wave of offense, relatively speaking, the pressure on the defense will be much less.
More importantly, this style of play has always been a tradition of Manchester United, but after Ferguson retired, neither Moyes, Van Gaal nor Mourinho inherited it very well. Skjaer understands Manchester United's club culture best.
hey-hey!Could it be that only Zhang Mai can see it?Competitive football is based on performance. After Manchester United wins the ball, the former Mourinho will be pulled out and whipped repeatedly!
