Chapter 675： 1 week duel

Latest website: 36.

thirty-seven.

With the score against Brighton twice, Chu Ge's league goals reached 37!

Thirty-seven goals in thirty-seven league games.

On average, one goal is scored in each round of the league.

The efficiency of such goals is amazing.

With more than 30 games throughout the season as the template base to evaluate, in the past one or two decades, only Messi and Ronaldo have achieved such scoring efficiency many times. These two players, without exception, are the two most outstanding human football players of the past decade, and so far.

Now, after experience, Chu Ge seems to be approaching these two superstars.

There is one more game in the Premier League this season. But considering that Chu Ge does not play every game this season. Therefore, even if he did not score a goal in the final round of the league, it will not affect his record of scoring more than one goal per game in the league this season.

However, compared to C Ronaldo and Messi, these two great stars, Chu Ge needs more seasons, more stable and continuous scoring data, to completely prove that he has stood at the same height of the two.

In terms of this season alone, Chu Ge is already the first to compare the efficiency of goals scored by the top scorers of the five major league clubs.

He surpassed Messi of Barcelona, ​​Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid, Salah of Liverpool, Cavani of Paris Saint-Germain, and Immobilie of Lazio, becoming the most scoring and most efficient star in the entire European League.

Even if counted in the European stadium and the national cup, Chu Ge is still the player with the most goals.

It is too early to say that he is already the world's first striker, but at least it can be said that Chu Ge is already one of the top strikers in Europe.

As long as he maintains the status of this season, he is likely to be the first in the world.

...

After the league ended, Manchester United soon ushered in their next game.

European Champions League.

Clash with Roma in the second round.

Previously, before the match with Arsenal, Manchester United and Roma played the first round.

That game was played at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

After ninety minutes of play, neither team scored a goal and the score remained at zero to zero.

It is also because of that game that the physical fitness of Manchester United players is affected. Back in the league, they were tied by Arsenal. Manchester City seized this opportunity to narrow the gap with Manchester United's points, and the Premier League's suspense for the championship was maintained until the final round of the league.

now.

The league's matches have come to an end temporarily, and the Champions League match has rekindled the battle.

The second round of the match against Roma became the life and death battle of Manchester United in the Champions League.

After defeating Rome, they can advance to the final.

If you lose, Manchester United's Champions League journey will stop here, stopping before the train to Dynamo Kiev, Ukraine.

This season's Champions League final will be played at the Olympiad Stadium in Dynamo Kiev.

Before the game started, at Old Trafford, Manchester United fans pulled up the banner early.

"Please take us to Ukraine."

Fans are eager for the final.

The last time Manchester United appeared on the stage of the Champions League final, it has to go back seven years.

At that time, Manchester United's head coach was Ferguson, the Red Devils godfather who was about to retire this season.

After seven years of waiting, Manchester United once again stood at the threshold of the Champions League final. Fans desperately hope that their team can reach the finals, so that Ferguson has a decent way to complete his coaching at Manchester United.

...

When Chu Ge walked into Old Trafford, the audience stood up and cheered.

The fans welcomed their captain with the warmest applause.

Chu Ge saw the banner in the stands.

He glanced back at Ferguson.

Ferguson smiled and pressed his hand, indicating that Chu Ge is no more concerned about the fans' slogans, calming down and enjoying the game.

This is what Ferguson told Manchester United players before the game.

Ferguson is already satisfied with being able to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

At this stage of the game, the team's strength is not as important as in the previous games. Players' willpower and mentality will become the key to winning the game.

Ferguson doesn't want players to have too much psychological pressure.

Ferguson looked at the roman coach's bench.

There was a coach who was a little stranger to him.

Italian Di Francisco.

Roma's performance in the league this season is not very satisfactory. Not only did they lag behind their old opponent Juventus, but they also ranked third in the league after Naples. They dropped out of the league championship early.

But perhaps because of this, Rome put more passion into the Champions League.

They eliminated Shakhtar Donetsk and Barcelona and advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League.

In particular, the game that trailed Barcelona 1:4 away and finally achieved an incredible reversal at home was praised by the world and became a classic in the history of the Champions League.

It is precisely because of that game that if Roma eliminated Manchester United and entered the final, no one would be surprised.

They have the capital to create miracles.

...

The game started soon.

Like the previous game, Ferguson once again unreservedly sent the strongest lineup he could.

Three days later, Manchester United will usher in the final round of the league.

Seven days later, it will be the final of the FA Cup.

Ten days later, it is the Champions League final.

In just one week, three crucial matches awaited Manchester United.

If they can reach the final, it will be four decisive games in ten days.

However, Ferguson has no time to consider more.

Since every game is a decisive battle, let the storms come more violently.

...

Rome: Allison, Kolarov, Fazio, Archerby, Florenzi, De Rossi, Naingoran, Pellegrini, Sharavi, Hick, Dzeco.

They are a 4123 formation.

Or, 433.

Manchester United: De Gea, Luke Shaw, Manolas, Van Dijk, Valencia, Pogba, Kanter, Lingard, Mbappe, Rashford, Chu Ge.

Manchester United's formation is one of the two game formations they are used to this season, 433.

Zhan Jun analyzed: "There were media predictions before the match that Manchester United would use their three-back formation to restrain the Rome winger. Such a style of play had achieved good results when facing Chelsea and Tottenham. , Ferguson did not do this. He still chose the four-back formation he was more accustomed to."

"Maybe Manchester United's play is based on me."

...

After the game started, both teams were a little cautious.

No one risked a big deal.

The first round of confrontation allowed both sides to have some understanding of each other, and the 0:0 score also made today's game a little more subtle.

No one wants to be scored first by the opponent.

As a result, the two teams competed more near the midfield and were relatively conservative in their offensive choices.

Chu Ge and Mbappe took turns in retreat to assist the team in ball control.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United's possession rate was significantly higher than Roma.

If you change your clothes and say this is the match between Manchester City and Rome, some people may believe it.

Because Manchester United is playing a ball control style similar to Guardiola.

Keep the ball under your feet and constantly mobilize opponents with short passes and running positions.

Chu Ge knew very well.

Although Roma's possession rate is obviously behind, the Italian team is good at giving up the tactics of possession. They will always find a counterattack opportunity in a seemingly unfavorable situation, and then an accurate long pass, or a few quick forward passes, send the football to the front court, give the striker a kill, and kill instantly game.

Chu Ge has played for Inter Milan.

He is familiar with the traditional set of counterattacks by the Italians.

Therefore, Chu Ge paid attention to his position.

He did not risk staying in the frontcourt, but always kept his distance from full-back Valencia, and did not give Rome a chance to fight back behind him.

Mbappe: I am the same.

Because the two wingers are somewhat behind, Rashford and Pogba are often the only two players in the frontcourt. Manchester United's ball control area is more concentrated in the midfield, and there are not many forward passes.

Rome is not in a hurry.

Since they couldn't find a good offensive opportunity, they simply wouldn't attack. They stayed honestly in their own field, and even Dzeko and Hick also retreated to the defensive area and did not take the initiative to attack.

There was no wind and waves in the first half of the game.

The two teams exchanged white papers and ended the 45-minute game.

...

Zhan Jun summarized the shooting situation of the two teams in the first half as usual.

"Manchester United scored four times in total, two were completed by Lingard, one was Valencia and one was Chu Ge. Including Chu Ge, there were three-footed shots that took place outside the penalty area. Chu Ge's shot hit the frame and was Roman goalkeeper Alisson threw himself out, and the other two were missed and one was blocked by the guard."

"Roma had zero shots in the first half. They had several offensives, but they were all destroyed by Manchester United's defensive players and did not form a final shot."

"From the first half, Roma's best player is De Rossi. He has made several defenses and cut off Chu Ge's contact with other players in a timely manner, making Manchester United's offensive organization impossible. Manchester United has the most performance on this side. The good one is Van Dijk, whether it's Hick or Zheke, he deflated in Van Dijk's defense."

"Chu Ge's performance in the first half was pretty good overall, only slightly less active."

Chu Ge is clearly the player most concerned by Chinese fans.

Teacher Zhan Jun also analyzed Chu Ge's performance more.

"His breakthrough and dribbling are as sharp as ever. However, it may be that there are too many games at the end of the league, and his physical performance is somewhat affected. Chu Ge’s running distance has been reduced But compared to the game at the beginning of the season, there is still a significant drop."

"The running distance has been reduced, but Chu Ge is still the most threatening player for Manchester United. Manchester United's most threatening shot in the first half came from Chu Ge. Unfortunately, his shooting position was a little far from the goal. Roman goalkeeper Ali Sen had sufficient reaction time and eventually blocked Chu Ge's shot."

"It's worth mentioning that Roma's goalkeeper also performed very well today."

"If the two teams continue to score no goals in the second half of today's game, the game will go to overtime or even a penalty shootout. Roma may be more willing to play a penalty kick with Manchester United."

"If the game really enters the penalty stage, regardless of the final result, Manchester United will consume a lot of physical strength. This will form a great burden for each of their players. Manchester United are the top five leagues in Europe this season. The only team that is likely to win the Triple Crown is a commendation for their outstanding performance this season and a challenge that Manchester United players must face. Compared to Roma, they may be more willing to play in the ninety minutes End within, instead of dragging to the penalty shootout."
