This round of Premier League on December 30 has extraordinary significance for Manchester United players.

Because the day after the game was Ferguson's 65th birthday.

Everyone in Manchester United hopes to win the opponent at home in this round of the league, giving the old Lord Sir who is about to celebrate his birthday, and also allowing Manchester United to further lead the opponent and lay a league advantage.

Before the game, Reading coach Kopel was mentally prepared for this situation, and the one he was most worried about was undoubtedly Manchester United's No. 7 player, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been in a hot state recently.

At the pre-match press conference, the Reading coach linked Manchester United's No.7 player with legendary No.7 such as George Best, Cantona and Beckham. He believes that it is not easy to score twice in two consecutive games during the winter break, and Cristiano Ronaldo is on the road to greatness.

In addition to Koper, Manchester United's legendary legend Cantona also encouraged the Portuguese.

"Run up, rush up, don't miss any scoring opportunities!"

This is a generous gift from Cantona to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Reading has always been a difficult team.

Even at Old Trafford, Manchester United still encountered a tough battle.

In the first thirty minutes, Manchester United encountered a tenacious sniper from his opponent and almost did not create any threats. Ronaldo also shot again and again, but the effect was always very little, which made everyone feel as if they saw a scene.

That is, if you get the upper hand, you won't score, and the Portuguese ended in a random shooting.

But it turns out that Ronaldo is indeed different.

When the game reached the 33rd minute, the Portuguese took the ball on the left and faced the two opponents' defenders, and suddenly started. After several fancy moves, he shook his opponent away and passed the ball directly with his right foot. Solskjaer headed the ball from nine meters in front of the goal, opening the first record for Manchester United.

This goal ignited the passion of Old Trafford Stadium, making everyone feel like they saw a victory.

But less than five minutes later, Heinze made a foul and Reading got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt. He cooperated successfully to break through the goal guarded by Van der Sar and tie the score.

Interestingly, Reading's goal position is almost exactly the same as that of Solskjaer.

One to one!

Both sides returned to the same starting line again.

Manchester United started to play more and more urgently, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who was even more impatient and had no ideal luck. He headed the ball from behind and hit the crossbar to qualify.

After the side change in the second half, Manchester United continued to strengthen the offensive, while Reading still stood firm and defended to the death.

Until the 58th minute, Giggs, who came on the bench, made a low pass from the left, Rooney knocked back, and Solskjaer waded through the opponent's central defender and shot directly from a small angle.

The ball hit the left post and rebounded, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly inserted and made an easy push shot, surpassing Manchester United again.

This goal also gave Manchester United fans hope again.

All Manchester United fans were shouting Cristiano Ronaldo's name and cheering for him.

Then, Reading still stubbornly organized defense and waited for an opportunity to counterattack, obviously still not giving up on the game.

Manchester United is under great pressure, everyone is walking on thin ice and dare not be careless at all.

Until the 77th minute, Giggs suddenly changed to the right and dribbled the ball back from near the baseline. He passed the ball with his left foot with a curved ball and quickly inserted into the penalty area. Four meters in front of the goal, and volleyed with his right foot, almost exhausted his strength to pull the ball into Reading's goal!

After scoring the goal, the Portuguese was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, rushed all the way to the corner kick area, rushed to the live broadcast camera of Sky TV, and roared hard.

His handsome face became a little hideous due to excitement, which made people feel his excitement at this moment and his pleasure after venting!

...

"Cristiano Ronaldo has indeed been under heavy pressure since this season."

"Before the season, he and Rooney were two recognized geniuses in Manchester United, but in the World Cup, the two turned against each other, and the Portuguese became public enemies of everyone. Some English fans even threatened him that if he dared to set foot in Britain again, he would assassinate him."

"At that time, everyone believed that Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United road had come to an end, and Rooney would take on the burden of the team and carry the flag of resisting Chelsea's Golden Dollar football."

"Then, most of the season has passed, but the fact is exactly the opposite of what I expected before the season."

"So far this season, Rooney's performance can only be considered a barely passing, but Cristiano Ronaldo's performance is eye-catching, and it can even be said to be magical."

"In the early stage of the season, Cristiano Ronaldo was criticized for his excessive shooting, but as Cantona said, all top scorers will go through such a process. As long as they break through, their shooting skills and confidence will be perfectly transformed."

"In the last three rounds, Cristiano Ronaldo has proved his magic to everyone with three consecutive braces and completed an amazing outbreak!"

"In contrast, Rooney, his teammate at Manchester United, has obviously gradually become mediocre. In this regard, Manchester United legend Cantona believes that his technical skills determine the different trends of the two talented players. After Rooney transferred to Manchester United, he obviously ignored continuing to polish his basic skills, which led to his upper limit being continuously lowered."

"Cantona said that there are not many players who can play with Cristiano Ronaldo in both aspects of offensive speed and technical comprehensiveness. So far, only Yang ** has the same strength in the Premier League."

"Manchester United legend concluded that Yang Yang will be Cristiano Ronaldo's strongest competitor!"

"And this time, Cristiano Ronaldo's full-scale outbreak during the winter break undoubtedly once again triggered the war between himself and Yang Yang!"

"Although I lost a round at the beginning, the Portuguese, who was full of fighting spirit, obviously wanted to win back the game."

"After scoring twice in three consecutive rounds, the Portuguese's goal count this season has reached 12 goals, only one step away from Yang Yang's fifteen goals."

...

In this round, Liverpool went south to London and challenged Tottenham Hotspur away.

Before the first half was over, Yang Yang assisted Luis Garcia to score a goal. In the end, Liverpool narrowly defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 away and scored a valuable three-pointer away.

The day after the game, the entire British media was shocked by Cristiano Ronaldo's feat of scoring twice in three consecutive rounds, and was also excited by the explosion of Manchester United stars, believing that this move will inevitably ignite the battle for the best player in the Premier League.

There are only two opponents in front of the Portuguese, one is Chelsea center Drogba who scored 13 goals, and Liverpool forward Yang Yang who scored 15 goals. These two players are the best players in the Premier League this season.

Among them, in addition to scoring fifteen goals, Yang Yang has contributed one assist in this round, and his personal assists have reached thirteen this season, which is also a very surprising result.

One person ranks first in the two most substantial lists in the scorer list and the assist list. Yang Yang's first season in the Premier League made everyone see his strength.

As for the winter break, the Devil's schedule is not as eye-catching as Cristiano Ronaldo. That is not just a problem with Yang Yang, but also a problem with the entire Liverpool team.

What's more, before the winter break, Yang Yang led Liverpool to win four-to-zero in four consecutive rounds, and his performance was not inferior to the Portuguese.

Also in December, Cristiano Ronaldo scored seven goals and four wonderful assists on Manchester United's front lines. His performance was outstanding, making great contributions to Manchester United's record of five wins and one draw in December, especially the three consecutive wins of the Christmas Devil schedule.

But Yang Yang's performance is not bad either. Liverpool also won five wins and one draw in December, with four consecutive games, and his performance is even better than Manchester United. Yang Yang also scored six goals and seven assists, becoming an indispensable core attacker in Liverpool's team.

It can be said that the competition between the two major stars is just the same as each other in terms of data and performance.

Media and fans who support Cristiano Ronaldo believe that the Portuguese is the best player in the Premier League in December, especially the most devilish Christmas schedule, and his performance is slightly better than Yang Yang.

But the side supporting Yang Yang refuted that this was Yang Yang's first time having experienced the devilish schedule on Christmas, and it was normal for him to be somewhat unacceptable. What's more, Liverpool was not inferior to Manchester United throughout December, and Yang Yang made great contributions.

"Considering Liverpool's overall strength and the support the team can give Yang Yang less than Manchester United gave Ronaldo, Yang Yang's performance is more rare and better than Cristiano Ronaldo."

As for Drogba, who was originally highly expected, has gradually lost its competitiveness with Chelsea's two consecutive draws.

Who will win the Premier League’s best player of the month will probably continue to cause controversy, and how to choose depends on the official decision of the Premier League.

After the 21st round, Liverpool narrowly defeated Tottenham Hotspur away, Chelsea drew 2-2 with Fulham at home, and Arsenal lost to Sheffield United 0-1 away.

After all the games, Manchester United led the standings with 50 points, Liverpool ranked second with 45 points, Chelsea lost points in third with 44 points, and Arsenal fell to fifth with 36 points.

On the contrary, Liverpool's opponent in the next round, Bolton ranked fourth with 39 points.

This also made everyone feel worried about Liverpool again, because Bolton is obviously not a good person.

Playing two consecutive rounds of games within three days is also a huge test for Liverpool players.
