Chapter 554 The Horrifying Legend of Mu Ernian

"Oh my god! Mbappe! He was just like riding a motorcycle! And he suddenly stepped on the accelerator when he met Van der Horn!" Lineker exclaimed.

Then, everyone saw that Mbappe, who had made a beautiful breakthrough, rushed into the penalty area, faced goalkeeper Fabianski, and volleyed!

Fabianski hit the ball out with a snap, and Rashford, who followed up, easily made a supplementary shot into the empty goal again.

4:0!

Rashford was very happy after scoring, and he hugged Mbappe.

"Oh my god, Rashford easily scored two empty goals in a row. He was blessed by the goddess of luck today." The commentator shouted loudly.

On the sidelines, Manchester United coach Mourinho was surprised at first, and then clapped his hands with joy, shaking his head and clapping.

Rashford scored twice to change the score to 4:0 for Manchester United. But this was not the end, Manchester United's fifth goal came soon.

Rashford sent a straight pass, Mbappe dribbled into the penalty area, and the French striker used the change in speed to successfully shake off the Swansea left-back Olsen who was returning to defense, and formed a single shot.

Mbappe faced the attacking goalkeeper Fabianski, and he chose a very light lob. The football flew over the head of Fabianski, and then fell into the goal behind him...

"5:0! Manchester United leads by five goals! This game is over in advance! A massacre! Manchester United slaughtered Swansea 5:0 at home!"

Amid the exclamation of the commentator, Mbappe ran wildly to celebrate. The team led 4:0, which made Mbappe very relaxed. Just now, he had an idea and wanted to lob the goal. He did it as he wanted, and then a beautiful lob goal appeared.

When Manchester United celebrated the goal, Swansea was lonely. Swansea's players can be said to have no fighting spirit. They felt that everything was not going well in this game. They felt that they had no strength to use, so they lost the gate and surrendered.

At this time, Old Trafford Stadium was completely boiling!

………………

After the game, Swansea coach Carvalhal said at the press conference: "Our luck is a bit bad, as if we were cursed. Such a defeat is helpless."

Mourinho showed admirable politeness and humility. He did not add insult to injury to his Portuguese compatriot, but said: "Although I don't completely agree with Mr. Carvalhal's words, because in my opinion, the win is because the players performed very well, but one thing must be admitted that we were lucky to score two goals, but this is the charm of football. You never know what will happen in the next second."

Finally, Mourinho also comforted Carvalhal and Swansea: "The score of 5:0 is not a true reflection of the strength of the two teams. Swansea is one of the best performing teams in the Premier League recently. The score cannot explain everything."

Mourinho's attitude surprised and moved Carvalhal. What a good person. When he won 5:0, he was not arrogant at all, but so humble. If he had won 5:0, he would never be so calm.

The reporters at the scene, especially those who support Swansea, also had a very good impression of Mourinho. Although Manchester United always scored big against Swansea in the past two seasons, 5:1 and 3:1 in the two rounds last season, and 5:0 in both games this season, Manchester United played very cleanly and won very fairly. Now Mourinho is still very humble, which makes them hate Manchester United and Mourinho even less.

………………

Manchester United won 5:0 against Swansea at home, and this game still shocked the British Isles and even the whole world.

This is the 10th time that the Red Devils have scored more than 5 goals in a single game in the Premier League this season!

In these 10 games, Manchester United scored 5:0 five times, and the scores of the other 5 games were 5:2, 6:0, 6:2, 8:0 and 8:1!

Such a large number of wins also made Manchester United's total number of goals accumulated to an extremely terrifying height: 105 goals!

This has broken the record of 103 goals in a single Premier League season set by Chelsea in the 2009-2010 season!

8 years ago, Ancelotti's Chelsea scored 103 goals in 38 league games, becoming the first team in Premier League history to score three-digit goals in a single season.

This also allowed Chelsea to win the Premier League championship that season. The Blues scored 86 points that season, beating Manchester United by 1 point, ending Manchester United's three consecutive league titles.

Four years later in the 2013-2014 season, Manchester City and Liverpool once again set off a goal frenzy in the Premier League. Manchester City scored 102 goals in 38 league games, while Liverpool scored 101 goals.

The two teams' competition for the Premier League championship also lasted from the beginning of the season to the end of the season. In the end, Liverpool lost by 2 points, and Manchester City won the second Premier League championship in team history with 86 points.

The key to Liverpool's failure to win the first Premier League title in team history was the captain Gerrard's slip in the match against Chelsea.

Now, Manchester United has become the fourth team in the history of the Premier League to score more than 100 goals in a single season.

Among the four teams that scored more than 100 goals in a single season, Manchester United's score for each goal was the highest. Their 105 goals created 89 points, and each goal was equivalent to creating 0.848 points.

Chelsea scored 0.835 points, Manchester City scored 0.843 points, and Liverpool scored 0.832 points.

Moreover, Manchester United is also the team that scored 100 goals in the fewest games. They scored 100 goals in just 30 games.

In fact, Manchester United could have scored three-digit goals last season. At that time, the Red Devils scored 93 goals after 34 league games.

Unfortunately, in the last few rounds of games, Manchester United's goal number dropped sharply, scoring only 3 goals in 4 games and only 96 goals in the whole season, which did not even exceed the Premier League single-season goal record of 97 goals in a single season created by the team in the 1999-2000 season.

………………

However, Manchester United is still far from the single-season goal record of the English top league.

In the 1930-1931 season 87 years ago, Aston Villa scored 128 goals in 42 league rounds, which is also the highest single-season goal record in the top five European leagues.

But it is a pity that Aston Villa could only finish second that season, and the champion belonged to Arsenal, who scored 127 goals.

However, Manchester United is slightly better in terms of single-game goal efficiency. Manchester United has played a total of 31 Premier League games, which has brought their single-game goal efficiency to 3.387 goals.

According to this goal efficiency, Manchester United will score 128.71 goals after the end of the season, and it is very likely to break the single-season goal record of the English Premier League created by Aston Villa 87 years ago.

However, this possibility is very small. Because at the end of the season, the team's goal efficiency will definitely decline.

In fact, this situation is already happening.

When the Premier League schedule was just over halfway, Manchester United scored 75 goals, and the single-game goal efficiency was 3.947 goals, basically 4 goals per game.

In the 12 games that have been played in the second half, Manchester United has only scored 30 goals, with an average goal efficiency of only 2.5 goals per game.

Especially in the 4 league games before this game, Manchester United's goal efficiency has dropped to an average of 2 goals per game.

In fact, today's 5-goal victory is the first time that Manchester United has scored 5 goals in a single game since entering 2018!

………………

What really shocked the whole world is another record held by Manchester United, that is, they have remained unbeaten in all competitions since entering the 2017-2018 season!

Yes, since the Community Shield on August 6 last year, Manchester United has not lost in any official competitions!

During this period, Manchester United played a total of 51 games, including 31 league games, 8 Champions League games, 6 English League Cup games, 4 FA Cup games, 1 European Super Cup and 1 Community Shield. Manchester United achieved a terrifying record of 46 wins and 5 draws.

If last season is included, Manchester United has remained unbeaten in 55 games in all competitions. The last time they lost was on May 14, 2017, when they lost to Tottenham in the 37th round of the league away.

That game was also Tottenham's last game at White Hart Lane.

55 unbeaten games in all competitions is also the longest unbeaten record in the history of the five major leagues. The second is Juventus' 43 unbeaten games in all competitions in the 2011-2012 season.

Following closely are Inter Milan's 40 unbeaten games in all competitions in the 2004-2005 season, Real Madrid's 40 unbeaten games in all competitions last season, Inter Milan's 39 unbeaten games in all competitions in the 2005-2006 season, and Paris Saint-Germain's 39 unbeaten games in all competitions in the 2009-2010 season.

Obviously, Manchester United's current record has far exceeded its peers behind it.

Now, the whole world is looking forward to whether Manchester United can create a new record: to remain unbeaten in all competitions in a full season!

It is not easy to do this. Not only do they need to remain unbeaten in the remaining 7 Premier League games, but they also need to remain unbeaten in 5 Champions League games and 2 FA Cup games, a total of 14 games.

In this way, they will win the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League this season, becoming the real four-time champion.

In the world of football, there is a legend widely circulated: Mourinho's three-year law!

This law says that Mourinho usually encounters some challenges in the third year of coaching a team, which makes his coaching position unstable and even gets fired.

This phenomenon has appeared many times in Mourinho's coaching career and has become a prominent feature of his coaching career.

But accompanied by it is another legend: Mourinho's second year!

That is, in the second year of Mourinho coaching a team, he always has an outstanding performance. This phenomenon has been reflected in his many coaching periods, including Porto, Chelsea I, Inter Milan, Real Madrid to Chelsea II. In Porto and Inter Milan, Mourinho not only won the league championship in his second year, but also won the Champions League championship respectively. In the battle for the league championship in Real Madrid, his team beat Guardiola's Barcelona and achieved a terrifying performance of 100 points + 121 goals. When he went directly to Chelsea for the second time, he also led Chelsea to win the Premier League title.

Now, at Manchester United, Mourinho is in his second year as coach and is likely to achieve even more brilliant results.
