After Old Trafford won Manchester City, the whole Manchester United team took a plane to faraway Ukraine in the middle of the week. The away game against Dynamo Kiev in the UEFA Quarterfinals will be held on Thursday night.

Although it beat Manchester City, this game also consumes a lot of money for Manchester United players. In addition, Kiev and Manchester are nearly 2,300 kilometers away. Although they are flying, long-distance travel is also a lot of money for Manchester United players. Therefore, in the away game against Dynamo Kiev, Ye Su performed multiple rotations to ensure that the players' physical fitness can be sustained.

Dynamo Kiev is a super strong team in the Ukrainian Super League. Its domination of the Ukrainian Super League is no less than Manchester United's domination of the Premier League. The Ukrainian Super League was established in the same year, and Dynamo Kiev won 13 league titles like Manchester United. In the first ten years of the Ukrainian Super League, Dynamo Kiev won nine consecutive championships.

After entering the 2010s, Dynamo Kiev's form declined, and the Ukrainian Super League was also ruled by another dominant team, Donetsk Miners, and won five consecutive championships.

However, Dynamo Kiev has fully revived this season, leading the miners team to the top of the standings after the 19th round of the Ukrainian Super League, and it is very likely that he will win the Ukrainian Super League championship again after five years.

In the UEFA Cup, Dynamo Kiev performed well. They started with the third round of the UEFA Cup qualifiers and eliminated Israeli team Kilsmona Shaplet, and eliminated Cypriot team Omonia in the play-offs. In the group stage, they were in the same group with European giants Eindhoven, Greek team Panasinacos, and Portuguese Super League team Estoril. As a result, Dynamo Kiev ranked first with a six-game winning record, defeating Eindhoven in the group first. In the sixteenth final, Dynamo Kiev eliminated Anderlecht 3:1, and in the eighth final, they eliminated Premier League powerhouse Toffee Everton 6:4.

After studying the situation in Dynamo Kiev, Ye Su knew that his opponent was not a team that was easy to deal with. But since the strategy had been determined, Ye Su still chose to rotate without hesitation.

As a result, Manchester United, who played with a half-main and half-substitute, encountered a tough battle at Rovnovski Stadium. The Red Devils lost a goal in the 36th minute of the first half. Fortunately, their defense line was still stable, especially the midfielder Kanter performed very well, and the solid defense ensured that the team did not concede the ball in the next game. At the critical moment when the game was about to enter stoppage time of injury, Manchester United finally scored, De Bruyne assisted Ashley Young to score, and Manchester United tied again.

In the end, the score of 1:1 remained until the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.

Ye Su was very satisfied with this result. In fact, he had accepted the team's loss away at one point, but he did not expect Professor Yang to bring him a surprise at the last moment.

Ye Su even wanted to return to Manchester, so he asked the team to renew his contract with Ashley Young immediately. His contract was only last year left, but thinking of this guy's usual performance of Buddhahood, Ye Su decided to delay the contract until the end of the season, which could be considered as squeezing this kid in the last dozen games of the season.

After playing in the UEFA Cup, Manchester United team rushed back to the UK without stopping because just over the weekend, they will usher in the FA Cup semi-finals against Reading.

In the semi-finals of the FA Cup with Reading, the venue is at the New Wembley Stadium. The time is 3:00 pm on April 19, local time in the UK. It has only 65 hours passed since the end of the match between Manchester United and Dynamo Kiev!

With such a short rest time, Manchester United's entire team took more than three hours of flight in the middle, which is definitely not enough to restore the physical fitness of Manchester United players.

Fortunately, Ye Su had already decided on a rotation strategy, otherwise this game would be really difficult to play.

Manchester United, apart from the coaching staff, did not have any player who started the game in the middle of the week. Ye Su left them in Manchester and had a good rest to prepare for the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals with Dynamo Kiev at Old Trafford Stadium in the middle of next week.

Although Reading is only ranked 17th in the 37th round of the Championship, there is not much pressure to relegate. After all, they are 10 points higher than the relegation zone, which is very safe, so they must attach great importance to this FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United.

Manchester United's lineup is already very strong in this game. Goalkeeper De Gea and the defense are composed of Kyle Walker, Evans, Smalling and Valencia. Phil Jones and Carrick are partnering with the midfielder. The forward line is composed of Bruno Fernandez, Mata and Januzai, and Rooney serves as the center.

But such a strong Manchester United team played hard at the New Wembley Stadium. Although Rooney scored first in the first half to break the deadlock, the tenacious Reading equalized Gareth McClley in the 54th minute of the second half.

For the remaining nearly forty minutes, neither side scored another goal, and the game entered overtime.

At this time, after nearly two hours of fighting, all the players' physical fitness problems occurred, Manchester United finally showed their players' advantages in ability. Rooney scored the final goal in the second half of overtime, that is, in 106 minutes.

In the end, after 120 minutes of fierce battle with Reading, Manchester United finally eliminated their opponents and entered this year's FA Cup final.

And a day ago, another semi-final had already been decided at the stadium, with Aston Villa defeating Liverpool 2:1 in 90 minutes and competing with Manchester United for this year's FA Cup championship on the afternoon of May 30.

When Manchester United competed with Reading for the FA Cup finals, other Premier League games were also being played normally. Because Chelsea's home game against Manchester United was postponed, the Blues played the 27th round of the Premier League match against Leicester City on this day.

At the Royal Stadium, Mourinho's team lost one goal first, with three veterans Drogba, Terry and Ramirez scoring three goals in a row, reversing the game.

In this way, after playing 32 league games, Chelsea's points reached 76 points, only 2 points behind Manchester United.

The competition for Premier League champions has become increasingly fierce.

Since Chelsea has been eliminated in the Champions League and the FA Cup, they are now only focusing on the Premier League, while Manchester United is still conscientious about the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup. The main reason is that the Europa League will involve a lot of Manchester United's energy. Therefore, most media and Spinach companies are optimistic that Chelsea can reverse Manchester United and win this year's Premier League championship.

Especially at the end of this month, both sides will usher in the Battle of Kings Mountain at Stamford Bridge Stadium, which has never been a blessed place for Manchester United.

However, Ye Su has not yet considered visiting Stamford Bridge Stadium, because Dynamo Kiev is about to come to Manchester.

Since he achieved good results on the away game, Ye Su will naturally strive to let the team continue to move forward in the UEFA Cup.

The key game of advancing to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup was at home again. Ye Su almost ranked Manchester United's strongest lineup at present. Goalkeeper De Gea, the defense line consisted of Kyle Walker, Maguire, Van Dijk and Luke Shaw. Kante and Fellaini were partnered with midfielder, De Bruyne, Ashley Young and Valdy formed the front line, and Rooney continued to start.

Manchester United played very smoothly at home and took the lead in the 17th minute. De Bruyne cut into the penalty area and passed the ball on the left side. Rooney was pressed on his back and made a wonderful pass. Ashley Young shot into the close corner with a single shot from the edge of the small penalty area.

Ten minutes later, Manchester United scored the second goal of the game. De Gea opened the ball and kicked the frontcourt. Rooney got rid of the entanglement of Dynamo Kiev's defense line to form a single shot. However, his shot was blocked by Dynamo Kiev's Morning goalkeeper. Ashley Young broke into the penalty area and passed back from the left side, De Bruyne scored a goal from 12 yards, helping Manchester United lead two goals in less than 30 minutes.

In the second half, Manchester United finally scored the third goal of the game after Rooney and Ashley Young two consecutive threatening shots were saved by Dynamo Kiev's goalkeeper, and it was a very beautiful direct free kick.

In the 65th minute, Manchester United won a free kick from the left side of the frontcourt. This place is 25 yards away from the goal and the position is very good.

Rooney took the penalty, and under the action of the free kick card, he once again sent a free kick with a perfect arc and went straight to the far corner. The previous outstanding performance of Dyna Kiev Morton was helpless.

3:0, Manchester United secured the victory in this game.

However, Manchester United's goal did not stop there. In the 90th minute of the game, just as the fourth official had already walked to the sidelines with the injury stoppage sign, Manchester United's fourth goal of the game came.

De Bruyne made a diagonal pass from the right, Rooney scored a wonderful pass back, and Vardy followed up and shot into the net from 12 yards, locking the score on the field to 4:0.

At this point, Manchester United's four-man in the frontcourt scored goals in this game.

……………………

A hearty 4-0 victory allowed Manchester United to eliminate Dynamo Kiev with a total score of 5:1 and advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup this season.

However, the draw against the Europa League semi-finals at noon on Friday made Ye Su and Manchester United a headache.

The four teams participating in the draw are the defending champion, La Liga powerhouse Sevilla, Premier League giants Manchester United, Serie A Naples, and Ukrainian team Dnipro.

There is no seed team in this stage of lottery draw, and teams from the same country do not need to be avoided. The lottery process is hosted by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino. He first introduced the lottery rules, and then the promotion process of the four teams and the exciting scenes of the game were played on the spot on the big screen. The lottery was then officially carried out.

The first team to be drawn was Napoli in Serie A. They played at home first, and their opponent was Ukrainian team Dnipro. Then, the second group of matches was also announced. Sevilla played against Manchester United, and the defending champion played at home first.
