At 3:45 a.m. Beijing time on February 3, the 22nd round of the Soviet Super League focused battle, and the Rangers challenged the Celtics away. The game turned into a one-sided show, with Japanese star standard-bearer Yoshiyo scoring twice and delivering assists as rangers returned with a 3-0 away defeat.
Rangers exploded last season, playing an unbeaten run under Gerrard and ending the Celtics' nine-game winning streak. This season, Gerrard was poached by Premier League powerhouse Villa, and Van Bronckhorst took office.
Originally, the defending champions had a smooth ride, with a six-point advantage, and also brought in Manchester United's rising star Amade Diallo and Juve's Ramsey in the winter window, and the overall strength was even higher.
But no one expected that the Wanderers continued to drop the chain after entering 2022, and only won 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 4 rounds of games, squandering the 6-point advantage and giving up the top position, and now they are 1 point behind the sworn enemy Celtics.
In addition, rangers ended their 21 consecutive unbeaten runs, ending their six unbeaten games against the Celtics. For the first time since September 2019, Rangers lost in the derby. The last time the Rangers netted a 3-goal net loss to the Celtics was back in 2018, when they lost 5-0.
Specific to this game, the Rangers can be said to be in no state, with only 2 shots on target in the whole game. Armad Diallo, who had only made his debut in the last game, was invisible, delivering 0 shots, 0 threatening balls, 0 successful confrontations, and 12 losses before being replaced after only 45 minutes.
After the game, the famous rating agency only gave Armad Diallo 5.5 points, becoming the only player who failed, and Manchester United's rising star blackface left the field.
