Chapter Five Hundred and Seventieth

At the same time that Manchester United's home game against Manchester City was sounded, referee Anthony Taylor also blew the whistle at Reading's Madejski Stadium.

There was a deathly silence in the stadium, and even many fans wearing Reading jerseys were covering their faces and crying.

A shocking score was displayed on the red scoreboard.

Zero to seven!

According to international practice, the home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

According to this score, Reading only scored 23 points after 32 rounds of the Premier League, ranking at the bottom of the standings, one point less than Queens Park Rangers, and 18th place Victoria. Gang Athletics has eight points less.

Downgrading, it can be said that it is already a certainty!

Unless, Reading can finally perform a miracle.

They are all promoted from the Premier League this season, and Reading has high hopes for this game.

Although Southampton is currently ranked second in the standings, they are newly promoted after all, they are familiar with each other, and they are playing at home, so everyone in Reading has hope for this game, thinking that the team played well and has hope Save a draw.

But who would have thought that it turned into a one-sided massacre in the end.

Southampton, which has been in a frighteningly hot state recently, has been anti-customer-oriented since the beginning of the game, and launched a frenzied press and oppression against the Reading team, especially the left wing composed of David Alaba and Neymar, which was very active.

Only fourteen minutes into the game, Neymar had a wonderful cooperation with David Alaba on the left. Alaba made a pass from the bottom. Ibrahimovic used his body to hold the defender in the penalty area and unloaded the ball. After that, he directly volleyed vigorously and scored!

After that, the Reading team fought stubbornly and their defense was much more stable, but Southampton played very patiently.

In the 32nd minute, Ibrahimovic knocked on the door after receiving a pass from Modric. Neymar rushed to the goal, leaned over and dived to the top, scoring the goal, 2-0!

Only three minutes later, David Alaba made another sharp breakthrough from the left and made a pass from the bottom. Neymar, who entered the penalty area, turned his back to the goal. Three to zero!

In the second half, Fang changed sides to fight again, and Southampton still firmly controlled the situation.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the 60th minute,

Taking advantage of his own advantages again, he caught the ball in the frontcourt and passed it back. Neymar shot a curve ball from the outside of the penalty area, scored again, and staged a hat-trick!

The goal made the Brazilian star so excited that he took off his jersey on purpose when he rushed out of the pitch to celebrate, and received a yellow card for it.

After playing smoothly, Southampton completely dominated the situation.

In the 66th minute, Vidal assisted Gareth Bale, cut in from the right, and scored with his left foot, five to zero!

Just five minutes later, Toni Kroos made an exquisite over-the-top pass, and Vidal quickly entered the penalty area and scored again!

Southampton then made substitution adjustments.

In the 80th minute, it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic's through assist, which helped Sturridge, who came off the bench, score again.

So far, Southampton beat Reading 7-0 away!

This hearty victory not only pushed Reading into the relegation zone, but also allowed Southampton to score three points!

As soon as the referee Anthony Taylor's whistle blew, the players on the court immediately walked out of the court one after another, walked to the coach's area of ​​the visiting team, confronted assistant coach Luis Borini, and asked questions directly.

"Louis, how's the score at Manchester?"

The first to ask the question was Ibrahimovic, the number one star in the team.

"Yeah, Manchester United played Manchester City, did they lose or win?" Toni Kroos also looked very nervous.

"Hurry up and tell us, what's the score over there?"

"Say it, say it, Louis!"

Harvey Martinez, Neuer, Varane and others also seemed concerned.

Southampton's current state is very good, but it is useless just to be in good state.

If they want to counterattack with hanging silk, Southampton not only has to win all the games, but also has to hope that Manchester United can make mistakes.

As long as Manchester United makes mistakes, Southampton has a chance!

Luis Borini immediately burst out laughing when he heard the players scrambling to ask questions.

"Manchester United..." The old man even showed off mischievously.

When everyone was staring at him, he laughed and said, "...lost!"

"Losing?"

"real or fake?"

"Manchester United really lost?"

"No way, my God, Manchester United lost?"

"Wow, my God, Manchester United lost? Are you sure?"

Obviously, happiness came too fast, and they couldn't accept it anymore!

After all, Manchester United and Manchester City, in terms of strength, there is nothing to be surprised about who wins or loses.

But in such a crucial game, Manchester United lost?

Luis Borini nodded very firmly, "The result of the game is out, Manchester City beat Manchester United 2-1 away!"

"Wow, that's great!"

"It's so awesome, Manchester City, I love you!"

"Manchester United lost, then we are only five points behind Manchester United now!"

"The more you chase, the closer you get, the more you chase, the more hope you see!"

"Manchester United really did a great job. They even lost to Manchester City at home!"

The players were so excited on the sidelines that they almost huddled together.

Looking at them like that, I was as happy as if Southampton had won the championship.

But actually?

Counting the round that just ended, Manchester United scored 76 points in 32 games, with 24 wins, four draws and four losses.

And Southampton has 32 games, 22 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, and 71 points!

Five points, only five points left!

marvelous!

"Great, we finally caught up!"

"Yeah, from being ten points behind to now only five points away from catching up, the situation has completely changed!"

"In my opinion, we have every hope of reversing Manchester United, and we will definitely be able to reverse Manchester United!"

"By the way, Louis, who scored the goal? I'll treat him to dinner!"

"Yeah, Luis, who scored the goal?"

Luis Borini was still smiling, "Milner scored the first goal, and Aguero scored the second goal!"

Everyone immediately yelled.

"However, it was Kevin Stroman who played a crucial role in these two goals!"

When everyone heard it, they were immediately happy.

"So it's this guy, haha!"

"It seems that Kevin has not forgotten his old team after leaving the team!"

"No, although he is no longer in Southampton, he is still contributing to our championship. Where can we find such a good player?"

"No, I have to go back quickly and give him a call to thank him!"

"Yes, we must thank him well!"

"Well, if he shoots at my goal again next time, I'll try to work as hard as I can. Give him some face!"

Neuer's last sentence made everyone present burst into laughter.

Although Strowman has already transferred, but after playing in Southampton for two years, everyone climbed out of the low-level league together. It would be a lie to say that there is no emotion.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, they saw Yang Huan leading Peter Kenyon and others to kill the grandstand and walk towards the coach's bench.

It seemed that Master Huan was smiling all over his face, and he was in a great mood.

"Well done guys, I'm so proud of you!"

Everyone immediately laughed, "Thank you, Master Huan!"

"Manchester United finally lost, we are now only five points behind Manchester United, the situation has completely changed!"

What Yang Huan said was not purely to boost morale, but a fact.

In the last three rounds, Manchester United's performance was indeed unsatisfactory.

Previously, they narrowly beat Reading 1-0 at home. This is the bottom team in the Premier League. Manchester United have won so hard.

With so many veterans in the team, they can still hold on in the first half, survive the winter break, and enter March and April, can they still hold on?

In the last round against Sunderland, Manchester United won with an own goal in the end. This also made many people doubt that Manchester United's state has declined sharply. Can they still maintain their vigor in the first half?

As a result, in this round, they lost to Manchester City 1-2 at home, and the only goal was an own goal.

This really makes people have to wonder, what happened to Manchester United?

Can Ferguson's team survive?

After all, there are two key games away from Arsenal and Chelsea at home.

It's only five points, a slight mistake, and Manchester United's lead is over!

On the other hand, Southampton, since February, the state has been better than the game, especially the entire rotation mechanism of the team, which is working very well. The overall strength of the Saints has not declined due to the rotation. The state of the players Instead, it was stimulated.

In addition, the Saints' opponents are not strong in the next few games. As long as Southampton plays steadily, it is estimated that the chances of winning are still very high.

Therefore, from these perspectives, the thirty-second round of the Premier League can be regarded as a crucial node battle!

"Everyone!" Yang Huan looked at every Saints player present.

Every one of them has an emotion called excitement written on their faces.

So is Yang Huan!

"A lot of things, I believe I don't need to say more, everyone must understand, and must know!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

The season has progressed to the current situation, and there is no need for more mobilization and encouragement.

Every Saints player has only one thought in his heart, and that is to do his best to win every game.

In the end, I hope the result can be... a reversal of Manchester United!

"I believe that God is fair. Our efforts will definitely be rewarded, so we have fallen behind by 10 points and now we are only five points behind, and we have caught up by five points in four league rounds!"

Everyone nodded vigorously again.

This has to be said to be very encouraging and a result that makes everyone full of confidence.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Manchester United's championship was a certainty.

But now, after this round of competition, would anyone dare to say that?

Some people will think that Manchester United has already won the championship in advance?

"There are still six rounds of the league. We don't know what will happen in the remaining six rounds of the league, but I can be very, very sure of one thing!"

Yang Huan looked around the crowd again, nodded his head and said: "That is, we have no choice!"

"There is only one way before us, and that is to win these six games!"

"I firmly believe that Manchester United will make mistakes, and we will be able to reverse success!"

"I believe even more that after many, many years, when you recall your career, you will tell others in a very proud and proud tone that the biggest achievement of my mother's football is from the mouth of Manchester United. While snatching away the league championship they are determined to win, even if Ferguson retires, he still lies in bed every night cursing his mother!"

When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing one by one.

Master Huan's words are rough, but very exciting.

Who is Ferguson?

Great marshal!

Who is Manchester United?

King of the Premier League!

Wouldn't it be a great achievement to knock Manchester United off the throne and make Ferguson scold his mother every night?

"Remember what I said back then?"

Everyone was confused, Master Huan said too much, which one?

Yang Huan chuckled, it doesn't matter if you forget, I'll remind you.

"I said that back then, as long as we return to the Premier League in Southampton, those bullshit powerhouses will not even want to win a championship!"

Everyone immediately remembered that Master Huan had indeed said so back then.

"Now, the time has come to fulfill our original oath!"

The young Saints players immediately booed and cheered loudly!

That momentum is really... sharp!
