Chapter 185 The Club Cup in a different place

The 2009 FIFA Club World Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates from December 10th to 20th, 2009. This is also the first time that the FIFA World Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates.

Seven teams will participate in the FIFA Club World Cup, including six intercontinental championship teams, including the host league champion Al Ahli, the world champion Italy and Brazil.

As last season's UEFA Champions League champion Manchester United, does not need to participate in the previous knockout matches. Manchester United only has two games, semi-finals and finals. Although this has taken care of the European champions team, Manchester United, as a Premier League team, is the most intensive thing in the season in December. Before coming to Asia, Manchester United will also compete in the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. As soon as the away game is over, Manchester United players will immediately fly to the United Arab Emirates to participate in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Manchester United head coach Ferguson described 12 Yue as the father of the devil!

In order to ensure that players can have abundant physical fitness, Ferguson is ready to allow players to rotate extensively in recent games.

This is a completely helpless way. There are a lot of injuries. There are only players who can play. If they don't rotate, the hidden dangers of the game behind will be big.

Fortunately, the front line is relatively well-equipped. Otherwise, Ferguson may be able to use all reserve players to play in the World Club World Cup. There is no doubt that the old man can definitely do it.

Because Manchester United's current injury is clearly exacerbating, in addition to confirming the injuries of eight players, including Gary Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, O'Shea, Rafael and Fabio, striker Rooney also joined the series of injuries, which also directly led Ferguson to lead Manchester United. Only two defenders and two strikers were brought on the expedition to Germany. This may not be the worst. For example, Vidic's flu may soon recover. The most frightening thing for Manchester United is some severely damaged players whose injuries may leave the team unattended.

At midnight on December 8, Manchester United's official website officially announced that O'Shea and Evans would miss all the remaining games in 2009 due to serious injuries.

Ferguson is now in Germany and is preparing for the Champions League match against Wolfsburg. Although Manchester United has qualified to advance to the top 16 in advance, Ferguson's team can't be taken lightly due to the first place in this game. At present, Manchester United has 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 10 points. To win the first place, you must score another point in this game, which means that as long as you remain unbeaten, you can stay at the top of the group. At the regular press conference before the game, Ferguson focused on the team's current injury situation.

"All the injured have not recovered. After careful consideration, they finally decided to bring only a few defenders. At present, I don't know about Ferdinand's injury, so I don't know when he will come back. O'Shea and Evans have confirmed that they will not recover until January next year," Ferguson said at a press conference, saying that Manchester United's wounded soldiers are full. Other players should be able to recover in a short time, and I estimate that Brown will be able to play on Saturday. At present, Giggs is in the best condition. He should be able to play on Saturday, but Rooney is hard to say.

Subsequently, what Ferguson said at the press conference was posted on Manchester United's official website, and used "the deterioration of Manchester United's injury problem" to describe the current situation facing the team, saying that Manchester United will face a huge crisis.

The first half of December is coming to an end, which means that the test of the FIFA World Cup and the Christmas Devil schedule is just around the corner. If Manchester United's injuries do not get better, Manchester United will dream of defending the Premier League in less than a month. If Manchester United lacks a defender now, it is because the defenders have been injured too much; if Manchester United lacks a striker, it is true. This summer, after Manchester United left Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez, they did not add it in time. Owen, who signed for free, has been proved to be difficult to shoulder, so it is a top priority for Manchester United to introduce another super striker.

According to British media reports, Manchester United is now looking for a super shooter to find a suitable partner for Rooney and Li Yu. The Daily Mail recently confirmed the news. The media revealed that Manchester United's current target is Argentine international and Maradona's son-in-law Aguero.

At present, Aguero has made the decision to leave Atletico Madrid, but it is not certain where to go, because Manchester United is just one of all potential buyers of Aquila. According to the media, Chelsea and Inter Milan have spent 50 million pounds to buy Argentines, so it is not easy for Manchester United to get Aguero.

What kind of lineup does Ferguson take to Germany?

UEFA gave the answer: Because of injury, the Red Devils lacked 14 first-team players, but it was such a handicap. The Premier League champion still swept the Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg with a score of 3-1. In the game, the "old golden boy" Owen returned to rejuvenation six days before his 30th birthday, and one person took three goals. The first hat-trick after joining Manchester United made a leading contribution to the team's victory.

Perhaps because Manchester United is no longer under pressure to advance, Ferguson still let Li Yu, the winner of the New Science and Technology Golden Globe Award, sit on the bench to rest on the front line when the team suffered extensive injuries in the team's midfield and backcourt, only Owen was the single arrow. However, according to the last round, although the Lord sent the second team, he also did not want to lose, not to mention that the game with Wolfburg also involved the sitting of the group. Fortunately, Owen lived up to expectations and staged a hat-trick in the face of Wolfsburg, which still had the hope of qualifying.

Owen's three goals are different, but the first two reflect his unique sense of position as a striker. In the first ball, when Nani played the ball on the left, Owen, who was not at an advantage, stood in the most appropriate position, and then shook his head to break the deadlock of the game. Owen occasionally had a header in Newcastle, and Owen had a header in his last hat trick, but that was four years ago. Love.

In the second half, Wolfsburg once equalized the score and firmly occupied the scene. Manchester United, whose formation retreated, was even difficult to find a shot, but Owen flashed twice near the end. After receiving two wonderful passes from Obotan, the old golden boy also successfully completed the hat-trick. This is Owen's 14th hat-trick in his career, of which 12 were in the club and the other 2 were completed in the national team. Specifically, Owen had 10 hat-tricks during his stay in Liverpool, including a big hat with four goals, and one at Newcastle and Manchester United.

In fact, the last time Manchester United players completed a hat-trick in the Champions League need to be traced back to November 2004, when Van Nischer scored four goals against Sparta Prague at home, and Rooney also completed a hat-trick against Fenerbahce that season. Of course, Owen's hat-trick is also the second hat of Manchester United this season after Rooney and Portsmouth in late November, and this is also Owen's hat-trick in the Champions League stage again in seven years.

In this way, UEFA and the British media naturally gave Owen the best honor on the spot, and Ferguson did not hesitate to praise Owen after the game. Great, you know his level. In the penalty area, he can carry a heavy burden and get rid of the defensive player. The timing for him to run is really excellent. I really want to be happy for him.

What the Lord mentioned was obviously Owen's third goal. At that time, as soon as Obbotan knocked in the midfield, Owen, who was ambushed behind the opponent's defense, immediately inserted and formed a single knife, and then calmly shot to complete the hat-trick. Coincidentally, this goal was Manchester United's 400th goal in the Champions Cup, which was different from the famous goal in the 1998 World Cup against Argentina. It's the same work. After scoring the goal, the BBC immediately said, "Cappello should be watching this game, right?" The meaning is self-evident.

Although he scored three goals, Owen refused to take credit in an interview after the game, showing the maturity of a superstar. I scored three goals and may make headlines, but it's a great team performance. It's great to be able to advance as the top of the group, because in this second round, we can play at home. I don't want to lie. Everyone wants to meet a weak team, but if you can rank in the top two of the group in the Champions League, there is no weak team, although you still want to avoid those big teams as much as possible.

After the game, Manchester United coach Ferguson praised the team for a perfect victory under difficult circumstances at a regular press conference, and congratulated Owen, the hero who scored a hat-trick.

"This is an experimental lineup, but the team still plays a quality game. You must trust your players. They play well and prove themselves again today. We controlled the game in the first half, and so did the second half. We suppressed them all the time and put a lot of pressure on them, and the team's quick counterattack satisfied me. Ferguson said that even with such a handicap, the team can still play high-quality games, saying that all this is due to the players' ability to quickly adapt to the new position. Our players have adapted well to their new position in this game, which is really not easy. For example, Darren Fletcher, he can play in any position. If you have such a player, you can make a lot of different lineups, so it's not a big problem to play with the new formation.

"Irving's hat-trick is so wonderful. You know very well that once he enters the penalty area, he can show a different side. He did everything. He ran over the defenders and ran to the right time. I congratulate him. Owen dominated the game against Wolfsburg. Ferguson praised the hero who scored a hat-trick and talked about the importance of winning and winning the first place. The advantage of the group leader is that we can play at Old Trafford in the second round. We don't care who we share with. We always feel that we have a chance. The away record in the past three years is really excellent, so I hope it can help us, and our main players can also come back at that time.

"Li Yu? He didn't appear on other tasks!"

What are the other tasks? It's very simple. In the semi-finals and finals of the FIFA Club World Cup, Li Yu will definitely play in the two games. What about the other players?

The second team is enough.

Li Yu and Park Ji-sung led the second team of Manchester United and had already boarded the plane to the United Arab Emirates.

When the media arrived in Abu Dhabi, a large number of media outside the airport were already waiting for the arrival of the European championship team.

However, what surprised the local media was that this Manchester United team was suspected of being 'two teams'. The head coach Ferguson came, and two Asian players, Li Yu and Park Zhixing, also appeared. Others, except for Scholes, reporters who were not familiar with Manchester United, could not even call the names of other players.

After Li Yu got off the plane, she obviously felt a different style from the last trip to Japan.

If you want crazy female fans to come to the scene to send screams and warm hugs, don't think about it anymore. There are pure men everywhere who give him a thumbs up and wear a headscarf in Arabic clothes, and a female fan can't see it.

The abnormality of the two times is very big. Li Yu still understands the local customs here. If the media carefully looks at the expressions of the young players of Manchester United's second team behind, there will be no other expressions except surprise.

Originally, it was a rare opportunity to represent Manchester United to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup. If it hadn't been for the relationship between the team's injury and the schedule, it would not have been their turn. The young player Werbeck was still saying, "God! There won't be only men here!"

You should know that this Gada is not God's old man!

There is no fan riot as expected. The locals are very rational, and there is no such a warm scene of the last FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.

However, after arriving at the hotel, Manchester United's little players were still a little scared, the pure gold trash can, the pure gold hotel dome!

"God, am I dazzled!" Welbeck always likes to talk about God in his mouth now, and all this is really shocking, especially for these second-tier players.

Although Li Yu seems to be calm, in fact, he also has the impulse to take the garbage can home. These people are too prodigal. Will the toilet be pure gold in a while?

Manchester United's schedule this time is quite tight. The second day is the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup. Two days after the semi-finals are completed, the finals. On the night of the finals, Manchester United's 'second team' will take the opportunity to return to the United Kingdom to prepare for the next Premier League Christmas Devil schedule.

In the completed knockout stage, the opponent in the semi-finals of Manchester United is the Atlante from the Mexican League.

The Atlante team also received a terrorist attack by Li Yu, the winner of the new Golden Globe Award. He arranged three goals for Manchester United and staged a hat-trick!

The local media said nothing more. There is no problem with Manchester United's second team winning the game. What else is the use of the full main force, especially Li Yu's performance, which made the local fans at the scene extremely excited and cheering. If it weren't for the blowing and singing when they cheering, it would be too local Arabic. Otherwise, Manchester United would have thought it was at their own home court at Old Trafford!

After that, Li Yu also heard that it is completely free for local fans to watch the game, and they don't need to spend money to buy any tickets at all. As for fans from other countries who watch the game, as long as they buy a temporary ticket, they can enter the game to watch the game. The tickets are also very cheap, which is almost symbolic.

Prodigal! The world club cup is simply a way to burn money and show off wealth!

What other meaning is there? Anyway, Li Yu can't pay attention to it!

is no different from the original Toyota Cup. The final is still between the European champions and the South American champions. The final is Manchester United's vs. La Plata University team, the latter is the winner of the 2009 Copa Libertadores.

Before the finals, it is not like the last time in Japan. The media, business and TV stations will have a lot of programs and entertainment. It's more like a small holiday. In addition to training, Manchester United players enjoy the rare sunshine and swimming pool in the hotel.

And Manchester United's training also began on the beach next to the hotel for the first time. The sunny beach is completely imaginary in today's Europe.

All the Manchester United players were also naked and started training in a pair of beach pants.

The media focused all their attention on Li Yu and Park Ji-sung. As soon as they compare their muscles, media reporters can feel the gap in strength between them.

Compared with Li Yu, Park Zhixing is really a chicken!

When the two were not bare, their bodies were not much different, but as soon as they took off their coats, they made a judgment.

The beauty of Li Yu's upper body muscles is even above C Ronaldo. The lines of the muscles can only be described as perfection. In the past, C Ronaldo was rated as the best friend. Maybe after Li Yu's photos after the training were published by the media, C Ronaldo can only become the second friend, not just women's favorite. I like such perfect muscle lines as good friends!

Ferguson is said to be relatively conservative. He wears a standard beach suit, which is more like an old man who comes on vacation than a boss of the Premier League giant Manchester United.

Find a beach chair, and Ferguson is lying on it. Today's Manchester United's training is more like a men's show than a professional football training.

Of course, the media knows who is the best man in Manchester United, and the lens and flash are all aimed at Li Yu alone.

Manchester United players jogged on the beach for a while and began to train.

In fact, it's more like playing a game. A few people started the football version of the sand platoon on both sides of the block.

The beautiful women who occasionally pass by the beach can always attract the attention of Manchester United fans. Of course, the attraction is also mutual. Like Welbeck, who has not been favored by beautiful women for a long time.

On the contrary, Li Yu, who is dedicated to training, can win the exclamation of beautiful women from time to time.

Li Yu can only pretend not to hear when she hears it. The reporters are all on the side. If Jenny sees it again, things will be a big deal. Although the little girl usually looks like a bird, if the jealous jar is overturned, she can also play a shrew away!

If not, you can also interact with beautiful women, such as: "Let's play together?"

What to play, whether it's football or something else, I can't think about it anymore.

Now! Let's train carefully!
