Chapter 423 Suspense Rebirth
Manchester United striker Hernandez believes that Red Devils star Li Yu is better than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in some aspects.
The Mexican has scored 15 goals this season, and Li Yu has maintained a very high scoring efficiency for a season, and has staged the play of killing the savior at every critical moment. For this front-line partner, Hernandez commented, "Before I came to Manchester United, I always admired Li Yu. Now it's really a pleasant feeling to be able to partner with him. Our cooperation is very good."
"There is no doubt that Li Yu is the best striker in the world. In my opinion, he shoots better than Messi, and his header is better than Cristiano Ronaldo. Their styles are different, but Li Yu is a super striker."
Hernandez said these words in an interview with The Sun. As for whether Li Yu's shot is better than Messi and whether the header is better than Cristiano Ronaldo, it is obviously a matter of opinion. If the interview is true, then the Mexicans have obviously expressed their views.
In addition, Hernandez also said that he had done a lot of physical exercises to adapt to the Premier League. Nowadays, football is not only a matter of technology, but also physical preparation and adaptation.
"I run a lot, in addition to exercising my muscles and increasing my speed. In Mexico, the rhythm is not as fierce as here. In the Premier League, physical strength is very important. Only by making some sacrifices can I do what seemed impossible when I first came last summer.
"I hope to continue to learn and seize my opportunities, but I have never thought of my current success. Now I am the best club competition (UE Champions League) in the world. I have watched the broadcast of the Champions League in Mexico, but now I am one of them."
Speaking of the Champions League, Hernandez said that now the whole team is looking forward to reaching the finals and fighting with Barcelona: "We have a good chance to enter the finals. Barcelona is also a favorite to enter the finals. Everyone at Manchester United hopes to win Barcelona like the 2009 final, if we can win in Wembley. Now, it's definitely an extraordinary thing.
Next, Manchester United will meet strong enemies in the Premier League against Arsenal and Chelsea. Hernandez said: "I believe Arsenal are difficult to deal with. They have excellent players. Maybe the pressure has hurt them, including losing to Barcelona and losing to Birmingham in the League Cup final. But it will still be difficult for Arsenal to be defeated this time, and we must do our best.
"However, the spirit and history of Manchester United will frighten our opponents. Even if we are 0-2 behind in the game for 20 minutes, people know that we will catch up, and it is difficult for other teams to do it. We still have to play Chelsea. I know they will fight until the last minute, but we take the initiative. If we win these games, we will win the Premier League.
Hernandez's success this season has earned him a lot of praise. Former Liverpool star McManaman said: "Hernandez's achievements this season are incredible. He is a young man from Mexico. I don't know how good he was in English when he first came to Manchester United, but the fact is that he has amazingly adapted to everything.
"You thought he would not perform well until a few years later, but he has been very good so far. He is in a very good position in the race and will always be in a good position. Only a really good shooter can do this. This is an innate thing."
Even Arsenal coach Wenger admitted that Hernandez is so good this season. He has played very well this season, very well, and has always performed well. And he also asked Rooney to take a new position and serve as the organizer.
"Li Yu can adapt to any requirements, which is very suitable for Manchester United. Hernandez runs around in front, while Li Yu has been wandering and always maintaining the determination to score goals. Such a player is really terrible."
For Manchester United's opponent Arsenal in the next round, the past two weeks have been a nightmare. Almost all of them don't know why Arsenal collapsed at this time.
The 19-foot shot in the game is much higher than the opponent's 12 times, and the 67.2% possession rate is more than double that of the home team Bolton. However, in such a suppressed and suppressed game, the losing party is Arsenal, which has an absolute advantage in theoretical data!
What's more humiliating is that the other side scored a goal in the 90th minute of the game. Of course, such a "disgrace" has long been used to the Arsenal. From Sunderland at the beginning of the season, to the four-point lead against Newcastle, and then to the recent Liverpool, the Gunners always habitually lose the ball near the end of the game until they lost the last trace of their championship this season. Hope.
After losing to Bolton, the Arsenal led by Wenger has only achieved an embarrassing record of 1 win, 5 draws and 1 loss in the last 7 rounds of the league. Their position in the table has also been overtaken by Chelsea. After this round, we still miss Wenger, who won the championship, and has even been opened by Chelsea in second place. The difference of 3 points has a gap of 9 points with the leader Manchester United. Winning the championship has become an empty word, and the nightmare of winning the championship in 6 years is approaching them step by step.
"I said a few weeks ago that Chelsea was our main challenger, but I don't know if anyone could hear that at that time. It is true that Arsenal can play beautiful football, but Chelsea are obviously better. They are more experienced and have a strong lineup than Arsenal. The key is more experience in winning the championship. A few weeks ago, when the Arsenal were still "biting" Manchester United in the table, Ferguson had foreseen the collapse of the Arsenal, but at that time, the Lord's remarks were more likely to be understood as a "provocation" to Wenger.
Now it seems that Ferguson's disdain has become a naked truth. Looking at it from a distance, the next round of Arsenal's key league battle against Manchester United was originally defined as the key battle between Manchester United and Arsenal, which is more like an irony. Because Wenger is not fighting for the championship, but a pure "blocking battle" to make wedding clothes for Chelsea people.
From the analysis of the player's performance, let's take a look at Jolu's poor "suicide" performance at the Reebok Stadium tonight, and then look at the divine performance of Gary Cahill, the man who missed in winter. The sharp contrast between a god and a ghost. I don't know how Wenger on the sidelines feels? Chelsea's strength is stronger. Ferguson's warning is still in my ears, which can be said to be in one sentence! Such an Arsenal with a broken lineup and loopholes in the defense line, how can it compete with teams like Manchester United and Chelsea?
We can see this in a Premier League coach transfer expenditure list and money-burning list published by the new British media. On this list, Mark Hughes, the then manager of Manchester City, topped the list with an average of 146 million pounds a season. Among the top ten, there are many famous coaches such as Mourinho, Benitez, Ancelotti and Mancini. The "burning money" of these coaches also objectively responds to Manchester City, Chelsea and Lea. The investment, expenditure and expenditure of Wupu and other teams are a symbol of the burning of money by rich families.
However, in the top 15 of this list, it is difficult for us to find the figure of Arsenal Professor Wenger. In detail, the Frenchman was ranked 18th on the "money-burning list", with coaches such as McCarthy and Bruce of Sunderland.
Of course, there are more shabby data. Since Wenger coached Arsenal for 15 seasons, the average investment per season is only 1.68 million pounds! This is almost equal to one-ninetyth of Manchester City's investment during the Mark Hughes era! Nearly one percent of the investment! A hundred times! With such a low investment and such a huge gap, it is no wonder that Arsenal will suffer the embarrassment of 6 years of 0 championship. After all, Wenger is not a god. How can he compete with the rich families of the Premier League by relying only on his "stones into gold"?
Admittedly, in today's world of football, throwing money may not bring one heavy trophy after another, but if you don't spend money, it can be said that it is completely impossible to win a championship.
Rich families such as Barcelona, with a strong youth training system and their own hematopoietic ability, still have a lot of investment every year: last summer, they bought Mascherano and Villa, and introduced Ibrahimovic and Zigrinski the year before last; Inter Milan introduced Sneid, Milito and Mo in the summer before last. As a result, they won three golden trophies and unprecedented "three crowns" after a season; Chelsea smashed 75 million pounds in the winter transfer period, and finally rebounded strongly in the middle and late stages of the league...
So, why is it that only Arsenal has not been able to do it for a long time? Is it really because of the financial constraints caused by the construction of the Emirates Stadium a few years ago?
"The only thing I can say is that the club is in a healthy financial situation. If necessary, we have the ability to spend a lot of money to buy people. But the average age of our team is 23 years old. Why do we have a big blood change and buy after the season? Wenger's words can be said to make Arsenal fans feel cold. Since they are financially healthy and don't want to buy people to strengthen their strength, will the Gunners' Legion's uncrowned road continue like this?
After being defeated by Bolton, Arsenal has been pulled to 3 points by Chelsea in the standings, and is also 9 points behind the leader Manchester United. It can be said that there is basically no hope of winning the championship. The Gunners this season have to face an embarrassing ending of six years and zero championships. After the game, head coach Wenger looked depressed, and he finally admitted that winning the championship was "very slim" for his team.
"Indeed, it is very difficult for us to win the championship, but we will still do our best for it. We have lost too many points, which makes us suffer a setback. We should have scored 9 points this week (Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Bolton), but we only got 2 points. This season is really a story.
Wenger said an anguly: "Our players have shown a positive attitude this season. Our players are blameless. If you really want to find a culprit, then this person is me, and I'm leading the team."
"We have created a lot of opportunities in this game, but we still can't score as many goals as possible, which makes me very dissatisfied. Our team is still immature, and sometimes experience and mentality are very important. Wenger finally said.
No matter what kind of mentality Wenger is now, it is inevitable to fight with Manchester United.
Such an Arsenal defeated the Red Devils in the home game against Manchester United.
Manchester United lost a goal at the Emirates Stadium. Ferguson couldn't hide his disappointment with the result of the game after the game, but he insisted that the referee missed the penalty at the last minute. At the same time, he also admitted that Vidic's handball was missed in the first half and allowed Manchester United to escape. He said to Sky Sports: "It's so heavy In big games, referees should make as few mistakes as possible.
"Although I think Vidic's handball is very hidden and difficult to see clearly, it is also a balance. But about the last penalty, Clichy himself must have known that he raised his hand in horror at that time," Lord Ferg added. "Obviously, Chelsea's opportunity has come, and this is the result of these penalties."
In the following game, Manchester United will meet the challenge of Chelsea in Ancelotti at Old Trafford. Ferguson also expressed his concern about this game that will determine the title of the season's Premier League championship: "They did it once in Old Trafford last season (alling to a misjudgment), which is what I'm worried about now. " Turning the conversation, he continued: "When it comes to the game at Old Trafford, our supporters will be ready, and so will the players."Ferguson believes that the team gradually controlled the game after conceding the ball, but unfortunately did not score a goal: "After losing the ball, we ruled the game, and I think we should be rewarded. It was not reasonable for us to deal with the ball, but we basically pressed the opponent's half after conceded the ball.
In an interview with Manchester United TV, Ferguson said: "I don't think the team really entered the game before conceded the goal. Before that, we were in poor shape. To be fair, the game should be a draw. They scored with only one shot, which is disappointing. In fact, the post-match OPTA statistics showed that Van Persie also had a shot, which threatened the door guarded by Van der Sar.
"It's hard to say that it's because of the fatigue of the players, because they fought fiercely in the last 30 minutes, which is very good. They tried their best, but they came a little late. The important thing is that we have to pass the ball better and make use of the space. We didn't do enough in the first half. Wayne had a good shot and was saved, and Nani also had a chance.
"Nani had a great cross, and Li Yu was a little short enough. During that time, we performed very well, but unfortunately we didn't get the goal we wanted."
"Vidiqi's handball may touch the fingertips, and it is difficult for you to ask the referee or the eddy to see the ball clearly. Owen's ball is an obvious penalty. I'm worried that the penalty will be against us in important games.
"I don't think Van der Sar has any chance to save at all. Arsenal played well and smoothly, but to be honest, they don't have a few really decent opportunities to attack. When we replaced Anderson, Park Ji-sung did not adjust his position in time and was still in the left-back position, which gave Ramsey a good opportunity. Finally, he said bluntly, "That goal loss is the only chance we give our opponent today."
After the Premier League championship focus match between Manchester United and Arsenal, Owen, who almost got a penalty for Manchester United after the substitute, said, "We are not happy. Today's result makes the next two games more critical, but we are still in a good position."
Li Yu said, "Today is a bad result, but (the champion) is still in our hands." Sir Alex Ferguson put timely pressure on the referee, "It is obvious that these misjudgment now give Chelsea a great opportunity. They beat us with a misjudgment at Old Trafford last season, which is exactly what I was worried about at this time.
After losing this game, Manchester United's advantage in the championship group is getting smaller and smaller, but with the reduction of rounds, Manchester United is getting closer and closer to the finish line.
As Owen and Li Yu said, "The champion is still in the hands of Manchester United." Now, with only three rounds left in the Premier League this season, Manchester United is three points ahead of second-ranked Chelsea and six points ahead of third-ranked Arsenal. The highest score that Manchester United can get in theory is 82 points!
Chelsea's highest theoretical score is 79 points, and Arsenal's highest theoretical score is 76.
On Wednesday evening, Manchester United will play against Schalke 04 at Old Trafford in the second round of the Champions League semi-finals. Due to the 2-0 victory of the Red Devils in the first round, the possibility that the Red Devils will send some substitutes in this game and let many main players rest. On Sunday afternoon, Manchester United will continue to sit at Old Trafford to welcome their direct opponent Chelsea, while Arsenal will go away to challenge Stoke City, which is still not completely relegated.
Let's assume that Arsenal can beat Stoke City away.
Under such a premise, if Manchester United beats Chelsea in the next round, Manchester United will lead Chelsea and Arsenal by 6 points. With two rounds left in the league, the Red Devils almost firmly hold the Premier League trophy. As long as they get 1 point in the last two rounds, they don't need to look at Chelsea and Arsenal's faces and win with 77 points. Crown.
If Manchester United shakes hands with Chelsea, Manchester United will lead Chelsea by 3 points and Arsenal by 4 points with 74 points. Since Manchester United will play at home against the promoted Blackpool in the last round, they are likely to win the game.
Therefore, as long as Manchester United draws away from Blackburn in the penultimate round, the Red Devils will win the championship with 78 points.
If Manchester United loses to Chelsea at home, the Blues will equalize the Red Devils, while Arsenal's points are 3 points less than them. With the last two rounds left in the league, the championship will be white-hot. The most extreme situation is that Manchester United lost to Blackburn away and Chelsea lost away to Everton. Arsenal won all three rounds. The three teams may finally decide the final championship by competing for a goal with the same score.
Now, after 35 rounds, Manchester United and Chelsea have a winning number of 38 goals, and Arsenal have a winning goal of 32, which is slightly inferior.
If Manchester United loses to their direct rival Chelsea at home in the next round, the Red Devils' goal difference will be at least 2 goals less than Chelsea, which is undoubtedly very unfavorable in the last two rounds of all-round competition, including goal difference.
Therefore, Manchester United will not be able to lose at home in the next round. It is worth mentioning that if Manchester United wins the last three rounds and finally wins the championship with a record of 82 points, this will be the lowest scorer in the Premier League since the last 10 seasons. The last time it was the 00-01 season, Manchester United won the championship with 80 points; if Manchester United only won the championship with 77 points, it will be 1996-97 After the season's Red Devils won the championship with 75 points, they have won the second lowest score in the Premier League in the last 14 seasons.
