Chapter 226 Little Unpopular

Inter Milan beat Barcelona at home, with a 3:1 score, which was also a big surprise.

Will there be a surprise in Manchester United's home game against Lyon?

The answer is no. Manchester United refused any surprise. Although Manchester United encountered a lot of trouble in the game that day, they still defeated their opponents cleanly 1-0 at home.

There are not many goals, which reflects the intensity of the game.

Lyon's playing style is very practical, and it is a solid iron barrel array in Old Trafford.

Although Manchester United sent the strongest offensive combination Li Yu and Rooney, they only scored one goal in front of the French iron barrel.

The goal occurred in the first half of 31 minutes. Li Yu scored the ball after a continuous breakthrough. Nani immediately knocked back in the middle on the side. After Rooney got the ball, he did not kick the ball under the interference of the opponent. The football just bounced to Li Yu's feet. Manchester United No. 9 hit the ball and sent the football into the Frenchman's goal, 1:0 The only goal in the game was from a scuffle in the penalty area.

Ferguson admitted after the game that this game could be regarded as a small surprise. Manchester United did not get enough advantage at home, and the suspense of advancing to the final was retained until the second round.

Lyon also expressed great confidence in the second round. We struggled to create a favorable situation for ourselves on the road. Now all we have to do is to seize the opportunity at home and reach the finals historically. There is nothing more critical than this.

Anyway, Li Yu scored again!

is also the only goal in the game. He rewritten his goals in the Champions League to 11 goals, and there is at least one game to play. There are still two games left. He is three goals ahead of Messi, the second place in the Champions League scorer list!

This season, Li Yu's outbreak is comprehensive. Whether in the league or the Champions League, he has used his own goals to ensure the continuous glory of Manchester United.

How can other clubs not see it? A few days ago, Real Madrid also released the wind to introduce Li Yu for 100 million yuan, but in fact, Manchester United has already labeled Li Yu as a non-sale product. The economic environment of Manchester United club is not too good, but everyone knows that if you sell Li Yu for 100 million yuan, you can't buy players with the corresponding strength. Xu Many people suggest that Manchester United can sell Rooney, but Rooney now has an extremely important position as the star of England.

Li Yu and Rooney, now Manchester United is playing with fire after losing everyone. Just stopped some fans, it will be more noisy. The Glazer family will not be stupid enough to put themselves on the fire like this!

Three days after the end of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United is about to return to the league. They will play against Tottenham Hotspur at home and win this game. The final league championship has almost arrived. Ferguson said that he will not give up the opportunity to win the cup at home at Old Trafford.

Manchester United head coach Ferguson denied that he will retire at the end of next season, saying that this is completely a media report, and Arsenal coach Wenger also believes that Ferguson is unlikely to retire in the near future.

British media recently reported that Ferguson told Manchester United that he would retire at the end of next season and designated Moyes as his successor, but Ferguson said that this was just a rumor and he had no plan to do so at present.

"This is really rubbish, absolutely not true," Ferguson said. "If I really have this plan, I will only tell David Gill (CEO of Manchester United) and the Glazer family."

"The only factor that determines whether I will stay in office is my health. Maybe what is unlucky for you (referring to the media) is that I am in good health, so you will continue to put up with me, and I will still be there when you are away."

Ferguson also said that the schedule in the next few weeks is a severe test for him and Manchester United. I think the next few weeks will definitely be bad for your health, but now that you are here, you must accept the pressure of life, and I can handle it.

Solskjaer, the head coach of the Manchester United reserve team and a former disciple of Ferguson, also said that the Lord is still full of football and is unlikely to retire. Solskjaer said, "Fergerson is very **. He is more energetic than any of us. He drives the club forward. His desire for victory is incredible. That's why we want him to continue to coach for a long time."

For this old opponent, Arsenal coach Wenger believes that Ferguson will never retire early, because he is still full of desire to win. Wenger said, "You can see the way he teaches. He is still full of desire. As long as he is there, he is full of desire for success. This is something that will not fade."

"When you get older, you have to think about your health, but at present, in my opinion, he has no problem, and it's always interesting to fight with him."

Talking about my future, Wenger said: "My future is determined by how well I can do, and whether I enjoy what I do, that's it. I still think I can still work for several years, if I can stay healthy.

However, the media soon refuted Ferguson's point of view. If Ferguson wins the two championships of the league and the Champions League this season, plus the previous cup championship, Manchester United will continue the glorious triple crown again. This is the best time for Ferguson to retire in his nearly 70 years old. Maybe he is not aware of this. But I'm sure this is definitely the best time.

The old Scottish man has witnessed the glory of Manchester United in the 20 years of the Premier League, but everyone knows that no matter what, there will be an end, and this day may come soon!

On the eve of the key game, there are such rumors. No wonder Ferguson will strongly deny it. This is not difficult to understand, because it is not the right time, and the game is the key.

On April 22, with only 50 days left before the World Cup in South Africa, the British media will inevitably talk about the lineup of the Three Lions. According to the media, the 27-year-old Foster, who used to be the No. 1 goalkeeper, has now been reduced to the point of silent training alone at the Carrington training base.

The insider was Manchester United goalkeeper Gary Bailey, who told the Manchester City Evening News: "I went to Carrington before playing Chelsea and watched the goalkeeper training. Foster performed very well, and his save response was excellent. Once I even applauded him. But he was training alone at that time, while Van der Sar and Kushchak guarded the gate in the five-a-side training competition next to him.

This clearly shows Foster's embarrassing position as the third goalkeeper in the Red Devils. During Van der Sar's injury, Foster made 10 consecutive appearances, but a series of mistakes made him lose his position immediately after the return of the Dutch goalkeeper. Since then, he has only defended three goals, and has not appeared in public games since February 23.

Bailey said: "It's really sad to see that the former No. 1 candidate in England has now become the No. 3 goalkeeper in Old Trafford. He doesn't have a chance to go to South Africa at all, and he can't even participate in the Manchester United training match!"

England's front door god Hilton also suggested that Foster consider a transfer. "In the past, Foster at least went hand with Green, but now he no longer plays for the first team, which is obviously against him. He played well for England in the friendly match against Brazil last November, but he couldn't play for a long time, which added a question mark to him. I think he may miss the World Cup this summer. If I choose Green now, this may disappoint Foster. Although he may not want to leave a team like Manchester United, who knows when Van der Sar will retire, I think he may have to leave.

In this case, being rented out may be an option to consider. At present, Birmingham, coached by Ferguson's disciple McLeish, is interested in Foster, which is a good choice: Hart, who is considered to have robbed Foster's position, showed his ability in this season when he was loaned from Manchester City to St. Andrews Stadium; at present, it is difficult for McLeish to buy Hart, so he I am also willing to consider the possibility of introducing Foster.

Bailey thinks: "Foster can learn from Hart. If Birmingham comes to him, I think it's a good choice to rent it out for exercise. Van der Sar signed another year. Although he is 39 years old, he is still one of the top five goalkeepers in the world and should still be the main force next season. Under such circumstances, Foster must be happy. I have been sitting on the English bench for eight years. Who told me to be in the same era as Hilton and Clemens! So I think Foster had better go to Birmingham to play the main force instead of staying at Manchester United as the third choice.

Foster has made a lot of low-level mistakes in the past, but Bailey thinks that which goalkeeper doesn't make mistakes? Gomez made many mistakes last season and was scolded as a smuggled, but Gomez, who went to Old Trafford with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, has entered the best state after the Premier League! James, Hart and Robinson have all had a painful stage, and Foster can come out.

At the same time, after defeating Plymouth 2-0 away, Newcastle has won the Championship this season two rounds ahead of schedule. This Saturday, Newcastle will face Ipswich led by Roy Keane at St. James's Park. According to the Daily Mail, as the captain of Newcastle, 35-year-old captain Niki Bart will hold up this season's Championship trophy before the kickoff, after which Bart will announce his retirement in front of his old captain Roy Keane.

Niki Bart has only played 16 league games for Newcastle this season. His contract with Newcastle will expire at the end of this season. Magpie coach Hughton admits that Bart may choose to retire this weekend. I don't think he has officially said that he will retire, but I know it will be an important choice for him.

Niki Bart is one of the representatives of Manchester United's 92 golden generation. He is a native of Manchester.

In the 1992-93 season, Bart completed his debut in the first team of Manchester United; but since then, Bart has not had a chance to play in Manchester United; in the 1994-95 season, Bart was a substitute for Roy Keane; in 1995, Paul Ins moved to Inter Milan, and the Lord used Bart + Roy - Keane formed a mid-back partner; and with Scholes's position moving back, Bart's chance of starting has decreased sharply, but he is still waiting for the Lord's call at any time on the bench. It is worth mentioning that due to the suspension of Scholes and Roy Keane, Manchester United magically reversed Bayern's game in 3 minutes in the 98-99 Nou Camp Champions League final, Bart did well in the first place.

Bart played 12 seasons for Manchester United, winning 14 championships, large and small, scoring 26 goals in 387 games for Manchester United. Before moving to Newcastle, Bart followed Manchester United to win six Premier League titles, three FA Cup titles and one Champions League title, one Toyota Cup title and three Charity Shield (English Super Cup) titles.

In January 2004, Bart rejected Birmingham's invitation and joined Newcastle, coached by Sir Bobbi Robson, for a transfer fee of £2.5 million. Sir Robson regarded him as Spide's successor. After playing for Newcastle for five and a half seasons, Bart scored 5 goals in 172 games for the Magpie. From 1997 to 2004, Bart played 39 games for England.

It's not all bad news before the game. There are three happy events to celebrate at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The first one is Forbes magazine announced on the 21st that Manchester United topped the "Most Brand Value Club" list for the sixth consecutive year with 1.19 billion pounds. Although Cristiano Ronaldo was sold last summer, it did not reduce the brand value of the Red Devils, and Real Madrid can only second place. In the 20th place, the Premier League occupies 7 seats, Arsenal 3rd, Liverpool 6th, Chelsea 9th, Tottenham 12th, Manchester City 19th and Newcastle 20th.

The second happy event is related to Solskjaer: Due to the unexpected defeat of the championship rival Liverpool, the Manchester United reserve team led by the young coach won the Premier League reserve league North Division two rounds ahead of schedule. This is the first time that the Manchester United Reserves have won this league title since 2006 (the team includes Pike, Rossi and Shawcross). Coach Ferguson was overjoyed to hear the news, "Congratulations Ole (Saulskjaer)!" When he was appointed, I told him that the reserve coach was not good, because I might transfer personnel at any time, but he really did a good job!"

The third happy event fell on Li Yu. On Sunday, the Professional Players Union PFA Annual Award will be announced. Li Yu is likely to be like Andy Gray in the 1976-77 season and C in the 2006-07 season. Ronaldo won two trophies, "Player of the Year" and "Young Player of the Year" at the same time. Andy Gray thought that Li Yu had great hope. "Cristiano Ronaldo left, and Li Yu proved herself with a season of energy release. He has only joined the Premier League for three years. This is a great moment. At the same time, he is also the youngest player to win these two honors at the same time. At that time, he was only 22 years old!

Three joys are coming, how can Tottenham Hotspur disturb the situation? Carrick, an old player from White Deer Lane who has not played since he made a mistake in the Champions League against Bayern, took the initiative to ask, "Toltonham has been around the top four this season. The talents accumulated in the past two years are really good. But this season is really interesting. You were still supporting Tottenham (beating Arsenal and Chelsea) last week, and then you have to face them again! Will you watch (Sunday) Chelsea vs. Stoke? I can't stand it. It's too hard to watch a game that I can't control.

Because Manchester United is the first to play, as long as they win Tottenham Hotspur, they can continue to consolidate their advantages in the table. Tottenham Hotspur is not easy to play. They recently won the London Twins in a row, clearing the way for the Red Devils to catch up with the peak again. But those two games were in White Hart Lane, and this game was at Old Trafford, which was never conquered by Tottenham Hotspur Premier League. Coincidentally, at almost the same time last season (April 25, 2009), Manchester United played against Tottenham at home. At that time, the Red Devils finally completed a 5-1 reversal under the difficult situation of falling behind 0-2 in the first half.

In this game, Manchester United also played a Champions League semi-final in the middle of the week. Rooney, who has not finished the 90-minute game in the last three games, is expected to continue to start, and Ferdinand and Brown have also recovered from injuries. Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed the reimbursement this season, but Lennon, who has been playing for a long time, is expected to sit on the bench. At present, the hottest in their team is actually the left "strong" Bell, who has scored consecutive goals against Arsenal and Chelsea. Pavlyuchenko said: "As long as we are not afraid, we can beat Manchester United.

For Manchester United, the only thing that is unhappy is the referee. After two rounds of the Manchester City derby were enforced by Atkinson, the two rounds against Tottenham will also be enforced by Marina. The last time the two teams met in White Hart Lane, Marina sent Scholes off with a red card. In the loss to Liverpool in October, Marina also sent out Vidic.

Before the World Cup began, there has been a heated discussion.

Manchester United head coach Ferguson insists that the most dazzling in the World Cup is Manchester United No. 9, Li Yu!

After two years of fantastic performance, Li Yu used her excellent performance to fight back against previous doubts.

"Li Yu will definitely go to the World Cup in South Africa. I'm not surprised if there are any goals!" Ferguson said, "Now his performance is enough to prove this. No matter what game or under what circumstances, he has the ability to score world-class goals!"

In the same-city derby with Manchester City last week, people were always talking about Scholes' final kill, but many people ignored who scored two goals to have the conditions for Scholes' final, and in the Champions League semi-finals, he still maintained his excellent form.

This Saturday, Manchester United will play against Tottenham Hotspur in the league. If they want to win the final championship, they must win this game. Li Yu will definitely appear in the starting lineup.

What kind of wonderful performance will Manchester United perform on the 9th? Let's wait and see!

This difficult season is also a full-scale season for Li Yu. Today, he is about to stand at the peak of world football. However, he is still a young man, and this peak will continue to be written!
