Chapter 325 Thrilling

After the Manchester United soldiers returned to Manchester, Kintag gave the players half a day off, and then entered the intense preparations.

On April 23, Manchester United played the Champions League semi-final first leg at the Bernabeu; on April 26, they will face Norwich at Old Trafford; and on April 29, Manchester United will welcome Real Madrid at home. challenge.

Three games in seven days, this intensity is really unbearable.

After the Manchester United soldiers returned to Manchester, it was immediately followed by the thirty-sixth round of the Premier League, a home game against Norwich.

Currently in the Premier League standings, Manchester United is only one point ahead of the second-placed Manchester City, so this Premier League game must be won by Kintiger.

Even so, in terms of team lineup, Kintag still made a lot of adjustments. Because the main players have just experienced a big battle at the Bernabeu, and a few days later, they will face the challenge of Real Madrid, so Kintag still sent a rotation player to appear in this game.

Kintiger knows that the current team's bench lineup is indeed limited in ability, but he has no choice. The strength of the team's bench players is limited. It is already very good for Manchester United to be able to fight in the third line to the present point. Kintag can't ask for more from the team. The only thing he hopes for now is that there will be no special injuries in the final stage, so thank God.

Norwich is currently ranked third from the bottom, and he is still three points away from West Brom, who is fourth from the bottom. In yesterday's Premier League game, West Brom lost to Arsenal, and their current relegation situation is still very dangerous.

Therefore, if Norwich can win Manchester United away in this game, then they will overwhelm West Brom with a goal difference and escape the relegation zone.

Today Norwich formed a 4-3-3 formation. As soon as the game started, they launched a crazy attack on Manchester United's goal. Today the captain of Manchester United is Carrick. He partnered with Nainggolan in the midfield and started a fierce competition with Norwich in the midfield.

The intensity of this game is beyond imagination. If you just look at the game situation of the two teams, you may think it is an England derby or a Manchester derby.

For Manchester United, this game is very important; for Norwich, this game is even more important!

So Norwich held a winning heart, faced the mighty Manchester United without fear, and fought against Manchester United at Old Trafford!

Throughout the first half, the two sides received a total of 4 yellow cards, and one player from Norwich got injured, which made Kintag a little worried. He loudly reminded the players on the field to pay attention to the fighting action and not to get injured. .

Under Norwich's mad dog style of play,

Manchester United did not organize any effective offense. The first half of the game between the two teams seemed to be a farce, and it ended 0-0.

During the intermission, Jin Taige reminded the players again that they must pay attention to the fighting action and do not get injured.

In response to the situation in the first half, Kintag made tactical adjustments. He made Salah's position premise, gave him full freedom, and let him dribble the ball through Norwich's defense. Icardi, who didn't get any good chances in the first half, covered Salah in front, and the two advanced and retreated to create opportunities.

After the start of the second half, Norwich's offensive continued unabated. They continued to attack Manchester United's half. At this time, Manchester United recovered a little to ensure that the goal would not be scored by the opponent.

Now Norwich was happier, and seeing their opponent back off, they pushed higher.

In the 65th minute of the game, Nainggolan broke the ball and handed it to Carrick next to him. Carrick handed the ball directly to Salah.

After getting the ball, Salah was like a fish in water. He drove straight in with the ball and broke through Norwich's defense continuously. If it is facing other defenders, Salah may not dare to play like this, but facing the weaker Norwich defenders, Salah exists like Messi in front of them. Relying on his speed and skills at his feet, he dribbled the ball past three Norwich players and entered the penalty area.

At this time, Icardi ran towards the far corner to respond. The goalkeeper Rudy hurriedly shifted his center of gravity back to prevent Icardi from attacking the goal, but Salah did not pass the ball. He shot to the near corner and the ball hit the net!

The ball went in! ! ! Manchester United lead 1-0!

After scoring the goal, Kintegger on the sidelines excitedly waved his fists vigorously, while the Manchester United fans cheered loudly, celebrating the goal.

After leading by one goal, Manchester United became more stable. Under Carrick's command, they defended tightly to prevent Norwich from having another chance to attack.

In the 78th minute of the game, Icardi got a chance to counterattack, but his shot was rejected by the goal post, which is very regrettable.

At the last moment of the game, Norwich dispatched troops to seize the last time to score a goal, but until the end of the game, they failed to break Manchester United's goal again.

The final score of the game was fixed at 1-0. Manchester United won a small victory at home and won a victory.

After the game, Kintag let out a sigh of relief, because Manchester City also won yesterday's game, so Kinteg fought this game today to continue to maintain a one-point lead. And with the advantage of this point, the players will not be worried, and they will not be able to let go of their hands and feet in the Champions League.

After playing this game on the 26th, Real Madrid will usher in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on the 29th.

In the past two days on the training ground, Kintag continued to let the players strengthen their offensive training. He encouraged the players: "In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, we also fell behind 0-2 at home in Olympiacos, but after returning to Manchester, we beat our opponent 4-0! Since there are lessons learned from the past, then I believe We can still turn the tide and overtake the score in this game!"

On the other hand, Phelan was very excited to lead the team to train as if he had been pumped out on the sidelines.

At this time, Jin Taige returned to the coach seat, looked at the team lineup in his hand, and thought about the starting lineup for this game.

"Captain, have you considered the starting list?"

As soon as Jin Taige looked up, Scholes came over and sat beside him.

Jin Taige shook his head: "I'm still considering a few positions, and I don't know how to arrange them more reasonably."

Scholes pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Captain, what do you think of this game?"

Jin Taige frowned: "We have no retreat in this game. We only have one goal, which is to attack. Try to score more goals at home, and then fight for the final."

Scholes asked: "Captain, do you think... we can advance to the final?"
