In the third round of the FA Cup on January 5, Manchester United will welcome Swansea at home.
In the League Cup semi-final on January 7, Manchester United will go away to challenge Sunderland.
After the warm-up before the game, in the locker room, Kintag was chatting with the players about the nearest field.
"After the No. 5 kicked the FA Cup, then the No. 7 kicked the League Cup. Do they think Manchester United players are Iron Man and don't need a break?" Jintaige complained, "Fortunately, I decided to give up football at the beginning of the season. The total cup, otherwise, guys, if you did your best in the FA Cup the day before yesterday, can you still run on the field today? "
The players are thinking about the time interval between the two games, and they are very resentful.
Because the two games were only two days apart, the players who started in the previous game, except for individual positions, almost all rested at home today and did not follow away. Today Manchester United is still familiar with the 442 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea's back line is Ferdinand and Van Dyck's partner center, Evra on the left, Raphael's midfield position is Kanter and Carrick, Mach Lace and Marshall are separated by left and right center Van Persie, Rooney is slightly behind. The seven substitutes are: Alisson, Smolin, Nainggolan, Debrone, Shin Kagawa, Valencia and Icardi.
Sunderland's opponent, Gintag, is no stranger. In the seventh round of the league on October 5, Manchester United had visited Sunderland's Bright Stadium. At that time, Sunderland set up an iron barrel array, allowing Manchester United to return without success. , Took away a 0 to 0 from here, and now come back here again, Manchester United is not the same Manchester United three months ago, their cooperation is more tacit, the team's play is more varied, even Sunderland Today, the bus is still in front of the door, Kintag is still confident to take a victory from here.
Although Sunderland was playing at home, they still did not intend to fight against Manchester United. Manchester United's strong attack line continued to suppress Sunderland's defense line, while Sunderland's back line was in the old Manchester United veteran O'Shea. Under the leadership, he desperately resisted Manchester United's offensive.
This game was another half-time offensive and defensive exercise for Manchester United. Sunderland had almost no decent offense. They crouched in their own half and allowed Manchester United to bombard their goals wildly.
After 30 minutes of play, the scores of the two teams remained 0-0.

At this time, the home fans of the Guangming Stadium started booing, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with their team's unwilling and aggressive attitude at home. The Manchester United fans who followed the team were also listless. Sunderland's passive play made them a little sleepy.
Even Sky TV's commentator, Raman, has no spirit: "The ratings of the League Cup have deteriorated in recent years. If the FA cannot find the reason, then please ask them to watch this boring game. This game It's like a tiger desperately biting a turtle hiding in its shell. The turtle is intact, and the tiger can't do anything about it. "
Morris aside, watching the situation on the court, said deeply, "There are only two results of this game, or the turtle was bitten by the shell, or the tiger was broken by its teeth."
Raman was a bit listless: "Hope I can see the results before falling asleep"
When the audience was drowsy, there was a sudden change on the court. And Raman and Morris in the live room suddenly came to spirit.
"This time it's Manchester United's offense again. Rooney takes the ball. He crosses Sunderland's back and Catmore!"
"Long shot Rooney was shoved!"
"Sunderland defender Roberge smashed Rooney from the side! This foul is on the penalty line. Is it a penalty?"
At this time, the game reached the 42nd minute. A foul on the field shouted all the sleepy people, and the whole audience was boiling at this time! The home fans shouted "good ball", while the away fans shouted "foul".
In the midst of chaos, Kintag shouted anxiously to the team's doctor to prepare them to enter the field to see how Rooney was injured.
The team doctor pointed at the field: "It looks like it should be fine."
Jin Taige looked at Rooney, who was slowly standing up on the field, and he was relieved. It was really impossible to reduce staff at this stage.
But something unexpected happened to Jintaige: he watched Rooney stand outside the penalty zone, stood up, came to his own defender Robergue, shoved it, and Roberger exaggerated. Toppled backwards, rolling on the ground, painful!
Jin Taige's heart suddenly became cold: something happened!

Just now I saw Rooney being smashed down and all Manchester United players did not work. Under the leadership of the third team captain Carrick, they surrounded the referee to talk and expressed anger to the Sunderland players. The Sunderland player knew that he had a loss, and hurried forward to explain that complaining to the referee was not intentional foul.
And Rooney launched to EbookFREE.me ~ the situation of the two teams immediately changed.
Sunderland was still at a disadvantage just now, and immediately became a victim. They turned around, attacked the referee, accused Wayne Rooney, and Manchester United's players were stupid. Wayne Rooney's obvious fouls can never escape the referee's penalty.
At this point the referee stood next to the incident and could see clearly what was going on in front of him. He had just taken out a yellow card and was about to show a yellow card warning to foul Sunderland defender Roberge, but Rooney pushed it over and the scene immediately became chaotic. The referee again took out the red card and showed it to Wayne Rooney, sending the Manchester United striker down!
This is awful!
Kintag hurriedly appealed to the fourth official, but the fourth official ignored it at all. On the field, Manchester United captain Carrick also appealed to the referee: "Rooney just retreated, and Robbie is too exaggerated to fall to the ground."
The referee looked at Carrick seriously: "This malicious foul, a red card is inevitable, you need not explain."
The Manchester United players still did not give up, they surrounded the referee and tried to appeal. Finally the referee showed a yellow card to the head of Carrick, which stopped the confusion on the court.
After sentencing Rooney, the referee looked at Robberge who had already risen. He showed a yellow card to Robert and awarded Manchester United a penalty.
At this moment, the Sunderland player just explained a few words and was opened by the captain O'Shera.
O'Shea said to his teammates: "Manchester United has already sent off one person. Now we play 11-10, but don't cause unnecessary downsizing."
Rooney didn't know what happened behind him. He now lowered his head and walked back from the penalty area of ​​Sunderland. At this time, Jin Taige was standing in his direction, waiting for his disciples to end (Red Devil) Inheritor)
