As soon as the draw was over, Lu Wei and Steele flew back to Manchester because the next day's Premier League would not be waiting for them.

At the same time, Matuidi's transfer procedures have also been completed, FC United has advanced to the Europa League, has completed the agreement two months ago, seeing that this team has enough ambition and strength, Matuidi naturally will not refuse this superior contract, signed his name on a five-year contract, FC United also paid 25 million euros for this transfer, which became a relatively big news before the end of the transfer market.

FC United finally has a blockbuster signing, before the outside world was rumored that Matuidi was close to joining Juventus, but no one expected to suddenly announce the transfer to FC United, Lu Wei's hand play is really beautiful, as a promoted horse can intercept the runner-up of the Champions League, this kind of thing can be done by Lu Wei.

With Matuidi joining, FC United also has the first star in team history, although Mane and Vardy are now very large, but that is the value of playing after leaving FC United, Michu although brilliant but too short-lived, after FC United regained the peak and returned to Spain, Robertson is now on the rise, as a defender is not so noticeable.

With Matuidi in midfield, FC United's strength on paper is undoubtedly on the next level, and the media are once again turning to the in-form FC United, believing that they really have a chance of winning glory for England in Europe.

Although already a member of FC United, Matuidi did not make the squad in the game against Southampton, but sat in the stands in casual clothes to watch his teammates' performance, but the Reds did not give a big gift to the newcomers, they did not score a goal in the whole game, and did not score a goal for the first time in the new season.

Good in Edward. Mendy showed great courage in the game, high and low blocks to clear the shots of Gabiadini and Tadic, so that FC United saved a 0-0 draw, Jaskolenen retired, Edward had to bear more pressure on the game, young Ramsdell was difficult to entrust, only appeared in the recent Carabao Cup, this season Edward's form will directly affect FC United's results.

In the fourth round away to defending champions Chelsea, Lu Wei and FC United suffered their worst defeat in three years, 5:1! FC United seem to have never conceded five goals in a game since Lu Wei became manager.

At the beginning of the first half, FC United played back and forth with Chelsea, and did not fall behind, even the defending champions could not find a breakthrough in the Reds, but in the 41st minute, the situation turned to Chelsea's side.

Willian broke through from the right flank and couldn't find a chance to pass the ball back, Azpilicueta crossed high from the right, Morata gained the advantage in the competition with Maguire, and a gliding header gave his team the lead.

At half-time, Lu Wei warned the players not to rush, stabilize the midfield, look for opportunities from the wing, and then shift the focus of the attack from the wing to the middle, use technique to disrupt Chelsea's defense, and then wait for the opportunity to shoot.

Unfortunately, not long after the start of the second half, Eden Hazard's long-distance rush that could be selected as the top ten goals of the season completely disrupted the rhythm of FC United, Kante broke the ball in midfield and passed the ball to Hazard who ran to the right, Hazard received the ball directly to the top speed, a change in rhythm threw off Hayden, and then changed direction to avoid Robertson's frontal defense.

But Robertson was not so easy to get by, and immediately turned and followed Eden Hazard, waiting for his teammates to break the football at Eden Hazard's feet together.

But at this time, Hazard had not yet endorsed Hamburg, and at his peak he was worthy of the title of the third person in the world, and when Maguire stood up to meet him, he poked his toes lightly, and the football passed between Maguire's legs, and Hazard increased his speed by another gear and rushed past Maguire.

Robertson did not expect Hazard to choose such a pass, he has been waiting for Hazard to slow down to find an opportunity to kick, but also to guard against the possibility of fouling, did not expect Maguire to let Hazard pass so easily, at this time it is too late to think about fouling.

Eden Hazard burst into the box and pushed a low shot into the far corner of the goal, Edouard's reaction was already quick, but the ball slipped through his fingertips.

FC United who were two goals behind were a little impatient, and the pass wanted to go directly through Chelsea's defense, but they were naturally released by defenders, and in the 53rd minute, Maddison's midfield passing error was intercepted by Rudiger, Rudiger found Willian with a long pass, Willian stopped the ball and did not stop more on the wing, dribbled inside and Moses did a wall collision into the danger zone, and finally assisted Morata's shot and then the next city.

In the 61st minute, Willian and Eden Hazard took turns to cooperate in front of the FC United penalty area to find opportunities, and for a while the people in the box turned on their backs, Morata took advantage of the chaos to separate the ball out of the box, Bakayoko saw that no one was in front of him, 24 meters from the goal came a long-range shot, the sight was blocked by Edward. Mendy took a slow step and watched as the football flew into the net.

With four goals behind, even Lu Wei's mentality was a little unbalanced, replacing Matuidi and Sollot ready to give it a go, which still had some effect, after Sollot's shot from inside the box was saved by Courtois, Maddison followed up with a supplementary shot to pull a goal back for the team.

But as the game drew closer and closer, Barbosa and others' shots became more and more outrageous, and FC United's players gradually lost their belief in winning, and Pedro seized the counterattack opportunity in stoppage time to make up for the last knife.

This fiasco also reminded the confident FC United that the Premier League is not the Championship, this is not the place where you are dominant, the Premier League is not that simple.
