Chapter 0101 Twenty consecutive victories
Manchester United, who won six consecutive Premier League wins, continued to walk on the frequent schedule of one-week doubles.
At 3 a.m. on September 24th, Beijing time, and at 8 p.m. on September 23rd, UK, Manchester United ushered in the third round of the League Cup at Old Trafford Stadium, with the opponent being the English Championship team Ipswich.
This English Championship team is familiar with Manchester United, because the opponent has basically been nailed to the pillar of shame in history. 20 years ago, Ipswich, who was still fighting in the Premier League, was defeated 9-0 by Manchester United.
This score is not only the biggest win score in Manchester United's history in the top league, but also set the record of the biggest loss in the Premier League in history. Until now 20 years later, this record remains.
That game was considered a collapse of Ipswich. Ipswich was relegated as the deputy squad leader after the end of that season. Although he returned to the Premier League for one season in the 2001-2002 season, he was relegated immediately. Since then, he has been hang out in the second division of England and has never returned to the Premier League.
This season, the two teams met again, Manchester United was the top of the Premier League, and Ipswich was very comfortable in the English Championship. After 8 rounds, they ranked 6th in the English Championship, which was considered to be an upgrade zone.
Although Ipswich has a certain strength, it is still not the same level as Manchester United. Especially Ye Su, this guy, also sent the main force to play according to the established strategy.
When Ye Su announced Manchester United's roster, Ipswich's fans were all heartbroken, and they secretly thought that there would be another 9:0, right?
Fortunately, in this game, Manchester United had no intention of playing Ipswich to death, but they still won a 3-0 victory. Rooney took the lead in scoring for Manchester United in the 23rd minute of the first half, and then De Bruyne won another goal in the second half. At the end of the game, Martial, who appeared as a substitute Rooney, scored the third goal of the game for Manchester United.
In the end, the Red Devils defeated Ipswich 3-0 at home and entered the fourth round of the League Cup this season.

On the weekend, Manchester United continued to play, facing the Black Cat Sunderland at Old Trafford, which is the 7th round of the Premier League.
Because Manchester United will go to Portugal to challenge Portugal's super giant Porto in the middle of next week, the FA arranged Manchester United's game at 3 pm on Saturday.
Before Manchester United played, the first game of this round, which was first played, was decided. Pochettino's Tottenham was at the White Hart Lane Stadium and beat Blue Moon Manchester City 4:1. This made Manchester City's Premier League points still stay at 15 points after 7 rounds.
Manchester United fans flocked to Tottenham Hotspur Home on the Internet after the game and left messages to thank his good brothers for helping to block their mortal enemies.
At the same time, Ye Su has led the team to appear in Old Trafford and is about to start the game against Sunderland.
Manchester United played in this game in a rotation lineup. However, it has to be admitted that even in this rotation lineup, Manchester United's strength is still strong enough. Facing the deputy squad leader Sunderland, who has not won so far, Manchester United won a 3-0 victory at home.
At the last moment of injury time in the first half, Carrick sent over the top ball in the midfield, Mata inserted into the penalty area and passed across the right rib. Kane scored the ball into the empty goal from 3 yards. Manchester United led 1:0, and the first half ended.
At the beginning of the second half, Sunderland took the lead in substitution to adjust the attack line. In the 46th minute, Mata passed the ball, Vardy passed Cabur on the right side of the penalty area and made a cross from the bottom. Bruno Fernandez, who was inserted into the small penalty area in the middle, scored a goal, and changed the score on the field to 2:0.
When the 90 minutes of regular time was about to end, Mata added icing on the cake to help Manchester United win another goal. Ashley Young made a cross from the bottom from the left, and Mata, who was unguarded at the back point, stopped the ball and scored a goal from 6 yards, Manchester United 3:0.

This is Manchester United's 20th consecutive win in all competitions, and the Red Devils are becoming more and more unstoppable.
At the same time, this is also Manchester United's 12th consecutive win in the Premier League, and it has tied Manchester United's winning streak in the Premier League. Even if it is 14 consecutive wins created by Arsenal, it is only two games away.
However, Manchester United faces strong obstacles to breaking these two records.
In the next round of the Premier League, the eighth round of this season, Manchester United will visit the Emirates Stadium and challenge the Gunners Arsenal. Whether it is for Premier League points or to maintain the team's winning streak, the Gunners will not be able to let Manchester United pass easily.
Even if Manchester United luckily overcomes Arsenal's level, in the 10th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face a 15-game winning streak in the Premier League, and they will face a city rival Blue Moon Manchester City at Old Trafford.
Therefore, whether it is breaking the team history record or streak in the Premier League, Ye Su faces a challenge.
However, if there is no challenge at all, it will be too easy to hold the rich salvation value.
At the same time, this game was Manchester United's 18-game winning streak in the Premier League. The next league home game is the game they tied the team's history record. However, they have to face Manchester City's challenges at home, and their future is very dangerous.
Four years ago, just when Manchester United was struggling to win 20 consecutive home games, they encountered humiliation from their arch-rivals in the same city and lost 1:6. Four years later, Manchester United led by Ye Su once again struggling to win 19 consecutive home games in the league. I don’t know if it was God’s will or a coincidence?
Not only that, if Manchester United can pass the mark and fight Manchester City, it will also be the record node for Ye Su to win 10 consecutive wins in the Premier League season.
Ten years ago in the 2005-2006 season, in the first phase of Mu, the Magic Birds' Iron Blood Blues created a 9-game winning streak in the season, and then was tied 1:1 by Moyes' Toffees at Goodison Park Stadium in the 10th round, ending the crazy 9-game winning streak in the season.

However, these things have to be waited until next month. The most urgent task that Manchester United currently faces is to rush to the Iberian Peninsula to challenge Porto's second round of the Champions League group stage.
There is no doubt that the Portuguese Super League giants are equivalent to Dynamo Kiev and Maccabi Tel Aviv. The strength of the Portuguese Super League is definitely stronger, so Porto is also Ye Su's eyes as the strongest opponent in the group stage.
In this case, the two group matches with Porto are likely to determine who will eventually qualify for the first place in the group. Moreover, Manchester United's results have always been very good when they are away from Portugal.
Therefore, Ye Su seemed very cautious about this away trip.
Chapter completed!
