Chapter 65 Champions League small rotation
United made a fuss at Anfield, [-]-[-], throwing their bitter rivals into disarray, but when United left Liverpool, they left the center of the vortex.
Ancelotti was asked about Klopp's dismissal in an interview. The Italian coach did not make trouble. He expressed his support for Klopp: "This game is a special game. The score was undoubtedly an accident, the gap between Liverpool and us is definitely not that big. Jurgen is a good coach, he always wants to win, I must say, he is a suitable coach for Liverpool, Liverpool can't be more Got a better coach than him. That's all I can say!"
Most of the other Manchester United players were silent when they were asked this question. After all, an eight-to-one victory over their opponents is already enough humiliation for their rivals. At this time, don't throw stones at their coaches.
Manchester United, away from the center of the whirlwind, began to concentrate on preparing for the third round of the Champions League group stage.
After careful consideration in this game, Ancelotti decided to make a certain degree of rotation.
Because after playing Copenhagen at home on October 10, Manchester United will immediately go away to play Chelsea.
Ancelotti had to consider the consumption of the team after two consecutive league away games against strong teams like Liverpool and Chelsea.
Moreover, in the league standings this season, Manchester United is no longer as top-notch as it was last season.This season, all the strong teams in the Premier League seem to have recovered collectively, and they are no longer in the chain-lost state like last season.
The first is Manchester City. After a draw with Manchester United, Manchester City scored 22 points in the first eight rounds of the league. Seven wins and one tie made Manchester City top the standings.
Followed by Manchester United and Arsenal, eight league rounds, Arsenal and Manchester United have six wins, one draw and one loss, with [-] points ranked second and third.
Therefore, Ancelotti is very clear that it is impossible for the team to win the league championship without any competitive pressure like last season. It is impossible to reproduce this season. A team like Special City's second place in the league is enough to show that the Premier League last season was unusual.
In the Champions League, Manchester United has won two consecutive victories and scored six points. It is currently ranked first in the group, and the competitive pressure in this group is not great, so Ancelotti still has the confidence to make a rotation in the Champions League. Adequate.
On October 10th, Manchester United sat at home and ushered in the challenge of Copenhagen.
Manchester United rotated half of the team, but Li Qingshan still started the game.Copenhagen is not a weak team. This Danish team has achieved 23 unbeaten games in the Danish league. It is an out-and-out unicorn in the small league.
Moreover, in the current standings, Copenhagen scored four points with one win and one tie in the first two rounds, ranking behind Manchester United with only a gap of two points.And for the Danish giants, this game is a good opportunity for them to score points-Manchester United played a very exhausting double-red game two days ago, and three days later, Manchester United will go away to challenge the Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United is bound to have a certain degree of retention in this game.
In fact, when the commentators in front got Manchester United's starting lineup, there was a lot of discussion.
In the starting lineup, Ancelotti did make a certain degree of rotation, but he did not do it resolutely, and it seemed a bit sloppy.
The goalkeeper position is still De Gea, and the central defender combination has made a rotation. Eric Bailly and Smalling started the game, left back Raphael, and right back Sandro.
In the midfield, Carrick, Fellaini and Pogba played together.
On the left and right sides of the frontcourt are Rashford and Mata, and the center forward at the top is Li Qingshan.
"Li Qingshan is still starting. If Li Qingshan is scheduled to start this game, will it affect the next away game against Chelsea?"
"Either don't rotate, if you want to rotate, be more determined, rotate half of the lineup, but don't let Li Qingshan rest, this kind of arrangement is really not appropriate."
The narrators had a lot of theories, and the footage of the TV broadcast was also given to Ancelotti.
No one knows what the Italian coach is thinking at the moment, so everything can only be observed slowly during the game.
Copenhagen can achieve 23 consecutive unbeaten games in the league, which proves that this team still has considerable strength and stability.They did not put on a defensive position when they came up, but took advantage of the opportunity to get the right to kick off and launched an offensive, but Manchester United's fence was also firmly established, and they did not give Copenhagen much chance.
Seeing that there was no advantage to take advantage of, Copenhagen quickly withdrew their troops and began to resolutely implement a defensive counterattack strategy. On the court, they are also absolute underdogs.
When one side accumulates numbers in the penalty area to build a dense defensive formation, the other side is actually not easy to attack.
Li Qingshan's feet look a little rough today.
He first tried a few long shots from the outside, but failed to hit the goal.
Then he scored the goal with a header in the penalty area, and Li Qingshan had an absolute advantage in snatching the high point, but he also tilted the top of the ball several times.
"The big battle two days ago still had an impact on Li Qingshan's state. If Ancelotti wants to rotate, he should give Li Qingshan a chance to rest. After all, in three days, Manchester United will face Chelsea away. If Li Qingshan's condition is not good, Manchester United will be in danger." Andy Gray said in the commentary.
"It's not a big problem for Manchester United to qualify first in the group. Even if the game is a draw, it will not hurt. After all, the other opponents in this group are not too strong. Manchester United has an absolute advantage in this group! "Scholes added on the sidelines.
In the first half of the game, Manchester United besieged the opponent for 45 minutes, but failed to score.
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Manchester United still didn't seem to be able to get up. Their offense was thunderous and rainy, and they still failed to send the ball into the opponent's goal.
This scene lasted until No. 809 minutes, when Li Qingshan finally took a corner kick and headed the ball into the opponent's goal.
When Ancelotti saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the purpose of his insistence on not rotating Li Qingshan. He did not allow any accidents in the Champions League group stage.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Copenhagen [-]-[-] at home, achieved three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage, scored nine points and ranked first in the group, and the group will qualify soon.
