Chapter 1211

Manchester United missed Jingzhou in Stoke City and didn't get the expected three points.

While Manchester United's opponents, Chelsea and Manchester City, won one after another. Manchester City tied Manchester United in the points, and Chelsea reduced the points to 2 points again.

After defeating old rivals Chelsea, Manchester United have full confidence in defending the league title. They don't care about their rivals catching up. They think their opponents will fall behind sooner or later. This small mistake can't affect the overall situation.

Manchester United's main task now is to play in the Champions League.

Manchester United made a good start by beating Benfica in the first game of the group. However, if they want to take the initiative in the first game of the group, they have to beat Basel, which is second only to Benfica.

Basel were the Swiss champions last season. They have a close relationship with the Bundesliga. They are a team with strict tactical discipline and strong style.

In history, Manchester United and Basel have met twice in the Champions League. In the 2002-03 Champions League group match, Manchester United beat Basel 3-1 away, but drew 1-1 at home.

Although Basel has drawn Manchester United at Old Trafford, their record in England is not worth mentioning. They have visited England seven times and have not won one victory.

For such a non mainstream league team, even the Champions League, the last treble Manchester United people will not be too concerned.

It can be seen from the number of fans present that the Old Trafford stadium, which can accommodate more than 70000 people, has only attracted more than 50000 people in this game.

The experienced Ferguson is not careless, he hid the main force in the middle of the week, recuperated and even paid the price of being tied by Stoke City.

In the first round, because of the poor performance of the back line in the league, Ferguson sent Ferdinand back from injury in the position of centre back.

Ferdinand's appearance was not unexpected, but his partner was not Evans or Smalling, but Phil Jones, who had been at full back before. The original position of Phil Jones was replaced by Fabio, who came back from injury.

No one can understand Ferguson's intention, but Ferguson is highly respected and everyone believes that Ferguson's arrangement must have deep meaning.

Midfield is not a normal match, Fletcher partner Carrick and Anderson, two wingers are Giggs and Valencia.

Gao Xiaodong didn't appear in midfield because Rooney twisted his ankle in midweek's league match and Ferguson sent Gao Xiaodong instead of veteran Berbatov.

This starting line-up is very strange. Fortunately, there are core players in the front, middle and back court. It should be nothing to play Basel. Manchester United fans are not worried about it.

Just at the beginning of the game, Basel, who started the game first, gave Manchester United a downfall.

In the fifth minute, Basle quickly hit the ball in front of the restricted area, Streller turned to send a small diagonal line in front of the restricted area, and f-frey burst into the restricted area surrounded by three backs.

But Frey in such a big scene some tension, in the face of de GEA volley, but the ball hit the stands.

Then Manchester United gave Basel no more chances to shoot.

The ninth minute, Giggs left kickback pass, Gao Xiaodong middle road to attract a large number of defensive players, Valencia post shot opportunity, but Valencia small angle header top side.

The first 12 minutes, Valencia right cross, Gao Xiaodong direct volley in the restricted area.

Gao Xiaodong hit the ball too straight and was hit by the Basel goalkeeper.

Manchester United are putting pressure on the Basel defence.

The first 15 minutes, Valencia straight plug, right back Fabio hit the left side of the restricted area, Giggs small restricted area back to do, Gao Xiaodong left foot burst into the far corner!

Manchester United lead Basel 1-0!

Gao Xiaodong's long-range shot was very tiresome. More than 50000 fans stood up to cheer for Gao Xiaodong.

However, Manchester United did not celebrate for a long time, they hope to be able to strike while the iron is hot and win at one stroke.

The game starts again. After the kick-off in Basel, Fletcher steals the ball when Streller passes it to the striker.

The ball goes to Carrick, and then Carrick passes it to Giggs. Giggs makes a long diagonal pass to the penalty area to find Gao Xiaodong.

There is something in the heart of genius.

Gao Xiaodong pushed forward quickly during Giggs' long pass. He used his strong body to fight the open back and volley in the restricted area.

At the moment, the Basel goalkeeper Somer has attacked, but Gao Xiaodong is faster. Somer doesn't get close to the ball, so Gao Xiaodong shoots.

The ball flew under sommel's rib into the net.

Less than two minutes after the first goal, Gao Xiaodong scored twice and Manchester United were 2-0 ahead of Basel!

At this time, the Manchester United fans were very happy and relaxed. They thought that this game would win.

After Manchester United were 2-0, Basel tried to make a counterattack, but there was a huge gap between the two teams. Basel's counterattack lasted only five minutes, got two chances to shoot, and then continued to be pressed on the ground by Manchester United.Maybe Manchester United feel that the overall situation has been decided, some relaxed, maybe the ball is not good, completely control the situation on the field, Manchester United did not continue to expand the score. Valencia played a goalpost, Gao Xiaodong made up an empty shot and was blocked by the defender. At the end of the first half, Manchester United were still 2-0 ahead of Basel.

In the second half, there was no substitution, and both sides continued to perform in the first half.

Basel wanted to fight back, but they didn't have the ability to break United's midfield defence.

Manchester United are leading by two goals. The attack is either casual or more concerned about personal performance. They play a bit tardy and have not been able to kill the game completely.

This situation has continued to the end of 58 minutes, Nani in the wing continuous breakthrough, after the bottom of the situation, but suddenly cut in after the door.

Goalkeeper sommel moved to the right side of the goal and Nani curled the ball into the back corner.

Nani's consciousness is good, the goal is also very accurate, but the ball hit the post and bounced out.

However, before Basel's happiness and Manchester United's regret came out, Gao Xiaodong came down from the sky and shot the ball into the net.

3: 0

GAO Xiaodong played forward for the first time this season and scored a hat trick in 58 minutes.

Manchester United fans love Gao Xiaodong to the extreme. At that time, several fans jumped from the stands and ran to the field to embrace Gao Xiaodong.

Ferguson felt that the overall situation had been decided. Five minutes later, seeing that Basel couldn't turn over any waves, he replaced Gao Xiaodong with the young Welbeck and let Gao Xiaodong accept the worship of the fans.

Ferguson can't be arrogant. At this time, no one thinks Basel can make a comeback. Let alone a team like Basel, even if it's against Chelsea and Barcelona, it won't be a problem to replace Gao Xiaodong with three goals ahead at this time.

Gao Xiaodong is certainly very strong, but in addition to him, Manchester United are absolutely first-class in European football.

At this time, Basel head coach Fink, who was replaced by Bayern before Manchester United reversed Bayern in the 1999 Champions League final in stoppage time, made a substitution adjustment with T. Chaka replaced Chaka to fight back against Manchester United again.
