In this campaign, Ferdinand did not join the team and stayed with Manchester in the avoidance of battle with Vidic, Raphael and Cleverelli with an ankle ligament injury last week.
Because this weekend is the league with the Blues Chelsea, this game, Ferguson made a substantial rotation of the starting lineup, compared with last weekend's five-ball victory over Bolton, only retained Evans, Evra and Rooney three, Lin Degarde, Fletcher and Valencia all made their debut this season, while Giggs and Park Zhixing ushered in their first starter opportunities, while the teams including Bell, Nani and Ashley Young are the absolute main players.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United took the lead in the away game, Valencia formed a breakthrough cross on the right, the ball crossed the front of the door, Rooney's outsourcing was disturbed and could not start.
Afterwards, the game once again reached a deadlock. Although both sides are making every effort to score goals, they have no way to break the goal.
Watching the game is about to enter 70 minutes, Ferguson couldn't sit still and began to make substitutions to adjust.
The adjustment of the Grand Lord was very radical, he suddenly played all three cards in his hand, replaced Giggs with Bell, Nani replaced Valencia, Hernandez replaced Fletcher changed the team's formation from the 4231 since the opening to the traditional 442 formation. Bell and Park Zhixing partnered in midfield.
Manchester United with three quick knives quickly took control of the situation on the court and once again completely suppressed Benfica. Although unwilling, the gap in strength forced Benfica to fall into full defense.

………………
Manchester United's match is already the second match day of the first round of group stage. After the match, the first round of group stage is over.
Since the opening of the major leagues in Europe in the new season, the giants have always given people an unstoppable impression, constantly washing their opponents with big scores in their respective leagues. However, in the Champions League group stage, this momentum came to an abrupt halt. Not to mention the big score to win, even "economic victory" has become rare.
In fact, in the first round of the group stage, the only four teams that won in 16 games were Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern and Real Madrid. Barcelona, AC Milan, Dortmund, Arsenal, Manchester City, Benfica, Ajax A high-profile big team like Lyon can only score 1 point, and Inter Milan lost to substitute Fenerbahçe at home for the first time in the Champions League, Trabzons, making the first major championship in the new season. Unpopular.
Of course, the result of the giants' invincibility is also related to the UEFA Champions League schedule this season. There are many dialogues in the first game, and the game will naturally be difficult to solve.
is difficult to win, let alone score a goal. Manchester City have scored 15 goals in 4 rounds of the Premier League in the new season, but in the first round of the Champions League, they only scored 1:1 with Naples (Serie A scored 3 goals in the first round); Manchester United Premier League scored 23 goals in 4 rounds, and the Champions League first round was only 2:1 difficult Reversing Benfica; Ajax Serie A scored 18 goals in 5 games in the new season, but in the first round of the Champions League but with Lyon in the first round; Real Madrid scored 10 goals in the second season of La Liga in the new season, the UEFA Champions League group stage can only beat Zagre 1:0 Budinamo...
In contrast, Barcelona, who scored 15 goals in the first three rounds of the Bundesliga, defeated Villarreal 2:0 in the first round of the Champions League and Barcelona scored 7 goals in the first two rounds of La Liga. Continued firepower.
The heavyweight team with heavy weapons ceased fire, and of course the Champions League goals became scarce. There were only 33 goals in 16 games, which is a big difference from the 45 goals in the first round of the Champions League last season.
In the 16 games of this round, only 9 points were won. In the game of points, only 4 games were won at home, but there were 5 teams that won away.
It is worth mentioning that the teams that won this round are from Greece, Portugal, France, England, Germany, Turkey, Switzerland and Spain. Apart from England, no league can win more than two games. It can be said that this is also the same A rare balance of power. Of course, this also confirmed the strong strength of the England team on the other side.
Of course, there are still small differences in the five major leagues~lightnovelpub.net~The Premier League team has the best results with 2 wins and 2 draws, with 1 win and 2 draws in Ligue 1 and 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in La Liga, 3 wins in Bundesliga and 1 draw 1 The loss followed closely, while the Serie A 2 draws and 1 loss were the worst.
AC Milan draws away from Barcelona and Naples draws away from Manchester City is certainly good, Inter Milan lost to Trabzons at home, but greatly lost the chain.
You know, Inter Milan not only lost the official game since the start of the new season, but lost to Trabzon and also created a series of history-this is the first time the Turkish team has won from the Apennines in the Champions League. Trabzon also made the first start in the Champions League.
AC Milan played away in Barcelona, Pato became the focus. He scored the second fastest goal in the history of the Champions League at 24 seconds, second only to Ma Kai’s 10.2 seconds and Gilberto Silva’s 20.07 seconds. Piero's 20.12 seconds and Seedorf's 21.06 seconds.
In addition, this is the first quickest goal in the history of Camp Nou. Pato used lightning to load himself into the history of Camp Nou.
Pato is the fastest, while Giggs is the oldest. Manchester United's away game against Benfica, Giggs equalized the score for the Red Devils in the 42nd minute, so he also improved the record of the oldest goal scorer in the Champions League that he had maintained to 37 years and 289 days. To surpass Giggs, it seems that Giggs himself is the only one at the moment.
