Chapter 66 Good News

After playing for 120 minutes in the game, there is no doubt that for the players who participate in the competition, especially those who play the whole game, the physical loss can't be made up for for a while. Tottenham Hotspur plays with its main players, and it is impossible for the mid-week league not to be affected, while the strong Manchester United has reservations, and the midfield and front court can be flexible. Playing in the league, and Ferguson also found a bench player who can fully play in the Champions League from this game. He is Anderson. After the Brazilian came out in the 56th minute, he was full of energy. Ferguson did not let him play back, which liberated the Brazilian's offensive firepower.

Since Anderson was injured on January 20, he made his debut today. At that time, the game that injured him happened to be the League Cup ( against Derby). Ferguson's tactical arrangement of being good at using troops can be seen from the use of Anderson that the Brazilian has been absent for a long time, has a strong desire to fight, and gives him a chance to take it for granted. It also fulfilled Ferguson's pre-match statement. More importantly, Ferguson wants to dig up Anderson's offensive side and dilute his defensive ability. After all, Scholes and Gibson are on the court. He can't put his back and let Anderson go up is a relatively flexible offensive role.

Can Anderson attack? Although he played for Manchester United in 62 games and still didn't score a goal, everyone who has watched his game knows that Anderson's impact is by no means a problem. The Brazilian's dribble and impact are full of samba charm. If he is not careful, he can go all the way to the critical area, but in the past, as a midfielder, he played too long with the ball. In the end, it's almost the end of a strong crossbow. It's difficult for him to score again, so today I simply let Anderson advance his position and have the addiction to attack, so as to stimulate the competitive impulse aroused by the young man who hasn't played for two months.

Ferguson may be very satisfied with his temporary replacement. Welbeck still has time to cultivate, and Anderson has long been an indispensable fresh blood in midfield rotation. He must accelerate to use more games to find his lost state for two months. However, just this game of "seeing the state" may have been Replaced by the theory of bravery performance.

Next, Manchester United will play two consecutive away games in the middle of the week and the weekend, namely Newcastle and Fulham. The match against Fulham is the FA Cup. For Manchester United, who is aiming for five crowns, they can't afford to lose. In addition, there will be another round of Champions League in the middle of next week. At this time, Anderson's rotation will be particularly important. This goal It can be proved that his active state is enough to ensure that he starts. It is a good card that he can definitely play, and Mourinho hasn't seen this card yet. How to use it with Carrick, Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs and Gibson's good midfielders depends on Ferguson's strategy.

Manchester United's midfielder, which has always been not favored by the media, has also received good news. Wining the League Cup may be able to reinject some vitality into Manchester United's midfielders to ensure a more difficult schedule.

There is another thing that deserves the attention of the media. Li Yu's contract renewal was originally not a problem at all, but now Manchester United clubs have to think about it. Li Yu's performance is perfect. Although the season is not over, Manchester United is already preparing for the summer. Last year, Real Madrid dug Chris. Tiano Ronaldo made a big noise, and the Red Devils hope to lock in hot Chinese young people with an important contract this summer.

The News of the World revealed that Manchester United will give Li Yu a contract with a weekly salary of £120,000, so that Li Yu's weekly salary will reach the first place in Manchester United.

If Li Yu signs this contract, Li Yu will surpass Rooney (with a weekly salary of 115,000 pounds), Terry (135,000), Robinho (160,000) and Gerald (120,000) to become the top-paid class of Premier League players.

Judging from Li Yu's recent statement, there are many intentional suitors. Although Real Madrid has locked C Ronaldo, will the La Liga giants temporarily change their goals? No one can say whether this kind of thing will happen. There have been signs before, and Manchester United have to guard against it!

Especially at the critical moment, another La Liga giant, Barcelona has already stood up and said, "If Li Yu can form Barcelona's attack line with Messi, what a wonderful thing it will be. This is a combination that every Barcelona fan is looking forward to!"

A League Cup final has brought many problems. The champion is the weight of the players, which is true. This is Li Yu's first trophy in Manchester United Club, which has brought such prestige to Li Yu.

Li Yu himself did not think too much. After the celebration, in an exclusive interview with the Huaxia Reporting Group, he said that the League Cup was only the beginning, and there were more important games waiting for him to fight with Manchester United.

When the Huaxia reporting group raised questions about the transfer, Li Yu's original words were, "I had a good time at Manchester United and won the championship. Nothing can let me leave Manchester United. It's also a thing I hate to change a club every year. I want to stay at Manchester United!"

When it comes to the new contract, Li Yu also said that everything is that Manchester United is saying that he has not received news from the club or agent. Everything is still unknown, but he agrees with the figures said by the media.

Duan Xuan also joked, "Li Yu is already the first person in the Chinese sports world at this time!"

"Isn't there Yao Ming? They are desperate and want money. I can't compare with them!" Li Yu's words that ask for money and death have become a classic joke.

Li Yu's popularity has soared, and major brands have also held corresponding events at the right time. Nike colleagues announced that in order to further improve the Tamron series, they will soon launch its high-end products. All Nike's latest technologies will be used in the new series, and the launch place of new products in this series will always be set in Asia. Zhou, let Asian users enjoy the revolution of sports goods brought by Tenglong products for the first time.

Shanghai is the first stop for the first release, but now it's just a statement. Users of the Tamron series have to wait until June 2009 if they want to wait for the latest high-end series products!

There will be a scheduled event later, which is also a special event for Asian customers. The Tamron series has become Nike's most successful player-exclusive brand after the Jordan series.

And Jordan plays basketball and Tenglong plays football, both of which are in the leisure series.

After more than a year of development, the popularity of the Tenglong series in Asia has brought nearly 200 million in revenue to Nike. According to this figure, Li Yu will also get a share of 40 million. Note that this figure is not RMB, but US dollars.

Just a Tenglong series can bring 40 million US dollars to Li Yu. In fact, Li Yu is definitely the first person in Chinese sports, not the second, plus other endorsements, salaries and other income.

In less than three years, Li Yu has become the most income-paid football person in the world. Maybe people still don't believe it, but this is the fact that the huge market in China and the huge market in Asia are Li Yu's biggest support. The most populous continent in the world has become the world. The center.

I don't know if I don't know. I was shocked when I saw it. After Li Yu knew this number, she was also very shocked. She didn't expect that she was just 20 years old, and money was about to become a number. Fortunately, football is her own interest. If she was playing football just for fame and fortune, she might have lost more than half of her motivation. !

How much money there is, playing football is still the main thing. This will not change now, and there will be no change in the future. It has nothing to do with money. Playing football has become a part of Li Yu's blood. If you want to score a goal, you want to play, it is so simple.

In the coming week, there will be a league game, a Champions League game, and an FA Cup game. Manchester United's advantage in the Champions League has been extremely obvious. The media has foresaw that Ferguson may stay for the Premier League and the FA Cup and let some of the main players rotate in the Champions League.

It turned out that the media's foreboding was correct. In the away game against Newcastle, Manchester United sent the main force to play against him and got three points at the away St. James's Park.

Ferguson sent the strongest lineup, Rooney, Li Yu and Van der Sar all returned to the starting lineup, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Ferdinand, who played 120 minutes in the final of the League Cup, also played. Newcastle drew three times at home and failed to score in two consecutive games. Former Manchester United player Smith started and Bart sat on the bench. In the last 14 Premier League matches, Manchester United's advantage of 11 wins and 3 draws is very obvious. Last season, Manchester United won 5-1 away, and Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice.

However, the Newcastles still caused some trouble for Manchester United. First of all, the conditions of the venue are not good, and there is still ice in some places, which makes the game unpredictability.

In the first half, the Newcastle took the lead in scoring by Van der Sar's mistakes caused by the field. The Van der Sar league's non-loss record ended in 1311 minutes. In the 9th minute, Enrique passed back from the left. Gutierrez's right foot near the corner of the penalty area seemed to pass to the front of the goal, and the ball bounced in front of van der Sar. When the ball came out, Lovincrans easily made up for the empty goal at 4 yards. It can be clearly seen from the slow motion of the game that the slippery field is the culprit of this mistake.

Then Rooney stood up and equalized for Manchester United. In the 20th minute, O'Shea passed the ball from the right, Rooney stopped the ball and turned around and shot with his left foot at 12 yards. The ball touched S-Taylor's thigh and flew to the middle. Harper had nothing to do about it, 1-1.

In the second half, Manchester United took advantage of the opponent's player's mistake and scored another goal from Li Yu. The field also helped Manchester United. The Newcastle's first goal came from the help of the scene, and also lost the goal of the game in the end. It was also because of the court. In the 56th minute, Carrick made a long pass, and S-Taylor wanted to return his chest to the goalkeeper. However, he didn't have enough strength to slip. Park Ji-sung tripped after stabbing in front of Harper, but Li Yujimin plugged in his right rib for 6 yards and easily hit the empty goal. Manchester United won 2-1, tying the record of 11 consecutive wins in the 99/00 season and 01/02 season, and continued to lead Liverpool and Chelsea by 7 points in one less game.

Li Yu scored a goal for Manchester United at a critical moment to decide the outcome of the game. The media has been used to giving Li Yu a high score after the game, and Ferguson always describes the Chinese disciple he received with perfect performance at the post-match press conference.

After the game, good news came immediately.

The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) announced the latest ranking of global clubs in the past year (March 1, 2008 to February 27, 2009). As a result, the Premier League champion Manchester United continued to top the list with 302 points.

As a fairly objective and authoritative football statistics agency, IFFHS began to comprehensively count the monthly and annual performance of global clubs since January 1, 1991. The evaluation mainly weighs the performance of a club in domestic leagues, domestic cups, six continents Intercontinental club competitions and FIFA club competitions. Of course, this assessment should also be combined with the overall football level of a country in order to be the most objective and fair.

Just in March, IFFHS announced the latest club rankings. Manchester United, which just won the League Cup last Sunday, has been strong in recent months, and they continue to top the list with 302 points. Liverpool climbed from the fourth place last month to the second place, but their points (267 points) are still not far from the top of the table.

In the Premier League, in addition to Cayman United and Liverpool occupying the top two, the rankings of Chelsea and Arsenal have also improved compared with last month, ranking 5th and 10th respectively.

In La Liga, Barcelona's ranking fell from third place last month to fourth place due to the recent ups and downs of record. Real Madrid, led by Ramos, continued to recover the lost ground with their brave performance in the league, and they rose from 45th place last month to 29th place. Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Villarreal ranked 27th, 29th, 33rd and 38th respectively.

In Serie A, the top ranking is Rome, which fell from 9th last month to 12th. Juventus followed closely (No. 13), with Inter Milan and AC Milan ranked 16th and 38th respectively.

In terms of Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, which ranked second last month, fell to sixth place due to its recent poor league record. Lyon (8th), Boca Juniors (3rd) and São Paulo (8th) are the top clubs in the French, Argentine and Brazilian leagues.

Among the top ten clubs, the Premier League team occupies four seats, and the dominance of the Premier League has been clearly reflected in the list.

Manchester United has become the undisputed number one in the world club, which is only ranked by record. If it is changed to the ranking of club fans around the world, I'm afraid it will still be Manchester United in the first place, and it will still win the first place with an absolutely leading number. With the support of Chinese fans, when it comes to this data, Manchester United There are no enemies anymore. In this data, Li Yu's help to the Manchester United club is undoubtedly huge.

Manchester United owns Li Yu, which not only improves its record, but also increases its influence in the world. If there is no football talent in China, it is a giant demon. The mainstream European football media are now envious of the Premier League and Manchester United.

Those clubs that didn't spend a lot of money to buy Li Yu must now regret it. Among them, AC Milan used to be very close to Li Yu, but now it seems that withdrawing from the competition for the gap of millions is simply a brain-damaged behavior. If it can be repeated, 45 million pounds is not expensive, but there is no back in the world. Repentance, everything has become a fore, and so is Inter Milan. Mourinho has been persuading the club to take Li Yu, a young man. It turns out that his vision is right, but the club refuses to pay more transfer fees for Li Yu. There is nothing he can do about it. After all, he is less than 19 years old, is it the flow of football? Xing made Inter Milan a little shaken, and the final result was that he ate the bitter fruit sent by the young people.

After a burst of praise, Manchester United ushered in the Champions League again. In the second round, they moved to Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United's terrible home court, and there were three away goals in their hands. No one was optimistic about the possibility of Inter Milan's promotion. Mourinho's penalty has been released and suspended. 3 games, this game is the first suspension of Magic Bird. Without timely command, such Inter Milan can stage a peerless counterattack. It is impossible. Everyone thinks so.

Especially Inter's guard line, Materazzi and Burdiso were injured in the last round. Cordoba can no longer count on it. Zivo also missed his trip to Old Trafford due to injury. The only thing that gratified Mourinho was that Samuel went with the team through a physical examination on Monday, but he used him who had just recovered from injury to play the main force. Adventurous, and the substitute central defender is only Rivas, and his poor performance in the first leg of the Champions League and the Coppa Italia is hard to continue to believe. If he doesn't take the risk of using Samuel, Mourinho may transfer a midfield guest central defender, but this is also an adventurous decision.

Because the loophole of the central defender is too big, the best way is to prevent Manchester United from entering the penalty area and grab the ball in the midfield. Therefore, Italy's All Sports said that Mourinho may change into 5 people in the midfield, strengthen the control of the midfield, and with the crazy's always gambling mentality, such a change is not impossible. . For this reason, Vieira, who was previously beaten into the cold by Mourinho, also went with the team this time. The French may be able to help at Inter.

Before the first round, Ibrahimovic said that he was better than Rooney and Li Yu, but his performance was disappointing, which continued his 11-year history of not scoring in the Champions League knockout match. Fortunately, Ibrahimovum himself was still angry. After the first round, he once again said that he was better than the strikers of Manchester United. Ibrahimović has always been a little weak in strong conversations, and he can't just bully the weak team's goals to win the Golden Globe Award.

What about Li Yu? Perhaps in the course of the game, he will not appear in Manchester United's list. Ferguson wants Li Yu to have a complete rest. He has said this more than once before the game, whether it is a smoke bomb or the truth. Everything will not reveal the answer until Manchester United announces the list.
