Chapter 604 The terrible FIFA virus
In the 67th minute of the game, Sanchez scored a hat trick.
He was in good shape in the second half.
However, Mourinho quickly replaced him on the sidelines.
After all, Sanchez still has national team matches to play next, so let him keep some energy.
And the game was already 6-0, so he could play casually next and let more players play to find their feelings.
Manchester United's goals continued in the second half.
Lingard dribbled the ball and pushed it into the net.
7-0.
Captain Rooney, who came on as a substitute, poked the ball in the penalty area and the ball passed between the goalkeeper's legs.
8-0.
This was also the final score.
The referee blew the whistle and the game ended.
It was a big win, and the players on both sides did not seem to have much emotional fluctuations.
For Manchester United, it was too easy to play against such an opponent, and it was normal to win.
For Huddersfield, it was a game that didn't matter anyway, and if they lost, they lost.
For them, the biggest gain from this game was a sentence Mourinho said in an interview after the game.
"Although we won today, Huddersfield showed great resilience. Many of their young players are very good, but they lack some experience compared to us. But I have a hunch that they will be able to successfully avoid relegation this season."
This polite blessing made Mourinho gain a wave of goodwill.
A few months later, Huddersfield successfully avoided relegation and got ashore at the last moment.
At that time, everyone recalled Mourinho's words today and sighed again.
But that's all later.
For the current Manchester United players, Huddersfield is just an ordinary passerby.
After the FA Cup quarter-finals, Manchester United reached the semi-finals of this season's FA Cup.
And their next opponent is also not strong.
Brighton.
This basically means that Manchester United will be sent to the FA Cup final.
The club competition has come to an end for the time being, and the players have reported to the national team.
Especially Manchester United, a big player in the national team, has lost more than half of its players at once.
Other players also got the opportunity to take a vacation. Mourinho did not stay in Manchester, but flew to all parts of the world to observe the players' status, observe the main players of the opponents, and take a look at the performance of several young stars he has been paying attention to.
None of this has anything to do with Xia Xing.
He has no experience of playing for any national team, and now he has no plans to play in national team competitions, so he still stays in Manchester for training.
Like a boring ascetic.
The biggest relaxation is still to go home every day to cook, chat with Alyona, and listen to Li De talk about high-tech technologies that he does not understand at all.
This national team match day is a beautiful and comfortable life for Xia Xing.
But Mourinho is not so happy.
Because in the national team match day that just passed, Manchester United players were injured.
And not just one, but four.
Looking at the injury list, Mourinho pounded the table hard.
Ashley Young.
Valencia.
Matic.
Fellaini.
Among these four players, Ashley Young, Valencia and Matic are absolutely the main players and indispensable.
Fellaini is also an important rotation player and tactical player, and a key defensive role player.
The injuries of these four players will cause great trouble for Manchester United in the next game.
Although the injuries are not very serious, they will have to recover for at least ten days.
In this way, they will miss at least the next three games, which is still a conservative estimate.
Fxxk!
In the office, Mourinho looked at the team's tactical schedule on the wall and was very angry.
On March 31, the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Swansea at home.
On April 4, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester Derby, Manchester United away.
On April 8, the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United visited Etihad again to play against Manchester City.
On April 12, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester Derby, Manchester United home.
When all the players returned from the national team, it was only a few days away from the 32nd round of the Premier League.
This game is secondary. For Manchester United, who are leading by 12 points, winning or losing is irrelevant.
But there will be three consecutive Manchester derbies in the next nine days, which is absolutely unprecedented in Manchester United's history.
Mourinho suddenly recalled that when he was in Real Madrid, he also encountered consecutive matches with Barcelona in the league, King's Cup and Champions League semi-finals.
But Real Madrid didn't have so many injuries at that time...
Manchester United has already defeated Manchester City three times this season, and it seems that the advantage is obvious, but Mourinho is very clear about Manchester City's strength, and he is even more clear about Guardiola's ability.
That guy is one of the best coaches in the world. If he plays smoothly, no one can stop him...
Four defensive players are absent due to injuries, and several players who have returned from the national team also have problems with their condition and physical fitness. If they are forced to play, they may stimulate old injuries, which will be more troublesome.
So in the game on March 31, Mourinho almost played with a full substitute lineup.
In addition, this season, it is rare that the three captains started together.
After all, none of these three players have national team competition tasks and are in good physical condition.
At Old Trafford, the visiting Swansea City launched a fierce attack against the depleted Manchester United.
As a team in the relegation zone, Swansea saw that Manchester United did not play with all its main players, so it attacked with all its strength, trying to create a miracle.
And they still have some resentment towards Manchester United.
After the FA Cup match a few days ago, Mourinho once said something to encourage Huddersfield, saying that they could stay in the league.
This made the Swansea players very unhappy.
What, if they can stay in the league, we will definitely be relegated?
The reason why Swansea is so sensitive is that they are only one point behind Huddersfield, and their goal is to surpass Huddersfield and step on them to jump out of the relegation zone.
So in this game against Manchester United, Swansea attacked desperately!
However, the opening three-pronged attack did not work, but it was the first to score.
In the 17th minute of the game, Xia Xing intercepted the ball in the midfield and decisively made a long pass to Rooney in the frontcourt.
This pass was very professional, with excellent power and speed.
In particular, there was not much surplus, after all, Rooney could no longer run, and his speed was far less than before.
But even so, Rooney is still very threatening.
He took the ball with his back to the goal line, suddenly turned around and shot!
Although he did not look at the position of the goalkeeper and the goal, he directly chose the far end where the goalkeeper was least likely to defend with his rich experience!
The ball hit the net!
1-0!
Manchester United broke the deadlock!
This shot was so powerful that Swansea's defense was useless!
Old Trafford Stadium was filled with applause!
This applause was dedicated to their great captain - Wayne Rooney! (End of this chapter)
