Chapter 085 One-point difference
Two days later, Manchester City was tied by Blackburn 3-1 away in the league.
Zhang Yang did not score, perhaps because of fatigue, the Chinese striker's performance in this game was relatively quiet, and it was Ireland that scored for Manchester City.
In this round of the league, Aston Villa beat Hull City ero away.
In this case, in the league table, Aston Villa's points surpassed Manchester City, ranking fourth in the league, Manchester City ranked fifth in the league, followed by Arsenal.
On this day, the Football Journalists Association of England also selected the best half-way lineup for the 2008/2009 Premier League.
In the selection of the best goalkeeper in the half, Chelsea's Czech goalkeeper Cech received the most praise. After the previous two seasons, Van der Sar conceded the least. The Dutch old goalkeeper only lost 10 goals in the half-time league in the 2006/2007 season, compared with 20 goals in the last season. In the 07/2008 season, Van der Sar conceded only 9 goals in the half season. In this half season, Chelsea lost fewer goals, and they only lost 8 goals. It should also be emphasized that Cech's total number of saves reached 81, which is more than Van der Sar's 70 and Renner's 77. Among the BIG4 goalkeepers, only Amunia has 91 more saves than the Czech goalkeeper. The Blues can temporarily sit in the second place in the league when the wounded are full, and it is particularly critical for Cech to get out of the shadow of the European Cup.
In the best defender lineup, Portuguese international Bosingwa was elected as a right-back.
Here, I have to say that the English media has given countless praises to the Portuguese international. In fact, no one expected that he could integrate into the Premier League in such a short time. Bosinwa's acquisition was not finalized by Scolari, but because Big Phil and Bosingva have been working together in the Portuguese national team for a long time, Bosingwa can quickly gain a foothold. In the comprehensive score of Sky Sports, Bosingwa's 7 points are also better than last season's best right-back Sarnia's 6.8 points.
As for the selection of Manchester United veteran Ferdinand, there is almost no doubt. Whether in the England national team or Manchester United, Ferdinand's performance is still stable. In this season when Manchester United need to compete for seven championships, Ferdinand's playing rate is really amazing. So far, he has ranked first in the team with 2,160 minutes. It is not an overdation to say that he is the back line of Manchester United.
As for Serbian international Vedic, the media has also praised it. As Ferdinand's central defender partner, Vidic also has a place in the team of the year just released by Team News. The central-back combination of Vidic + Ferdinand has now been described by Ferguson as another golden partner after Bruce + Palister.
It is necessary to say here that Manchester City's Belgian central defender Compani's comprehensive score is also good. However, Manchester City's overall defensive performance is not as good as Manchester United, which also makes Compani's score subject to a certain 'relevant' and finally failed to be selected as the best half-way team.
In addition, in the left-back position, Chelsea's left-back Ashley. Cole's election is also controversial: Cole's performance is not too outstanding, and even his status shows slight signs of decline compared with previous seasons. And Manchester City's Argentine international Zabaleta's performance at the left-back is quite eye-catching, just because his reputation is far less than that of Ashley. Cole, so he still didn't get the best lineup.
In the midfield: Ashley. Jan, Gareth. Barry, Gerrard, and Cristiano Ronaldo were selected as the best half-team.
What I have to mention here is England international Gareth. Barry, the England international is considered to be a typical inspiration. In Aston Villa's first game of the season, Aston Villa was slaughtered by Manchester City, Gareth. Barry's poor performance also attracted a burst of criticism, but at that time, Liverpool head coach Benitez also took the opportunity to launch the acquisition of Gareth from Aston Villa. Barry's action, even the media persuaded Aston Villa to sell this one and make a lot of money while Barry was still valuable. However, at this time, Aston Villa head coach O'Neill said, ' Gareth is not for sale, and Liverpool want to buy it unless they exchange it for Gerrard'. As soon as this statement came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and Liverpool fans were also angry. O'Neal did not accuse him of delusion. Some media also asserted that they would not sell Gareth at this time. Barry, O'Neal will definitely regret it.
Now, after half a season, looking at Aston Villa, who ranked fourth in the league, the media that was waiting to see O'Neal's jokes also began to change the trend and began to turn against O'Neal and Gareth. Barry sang a hymn, and they commented with such a highlight, 'Now, we can obviously understand why Benitez is obsessed with Captain Villa this summer, and Capello would rather break up Shuangde on some occasions than put Barry in the starting line-up can also be explained. O'Neal's team can beat the Gunners and Blue Moon in the top four in the middle of the schedule, and Barry's role in the commanding tower position cannot be underestimated. And Garas. In an interview, Barry even said that the long game slaughtered by Manchester City in the first round of the season made him much more mature, and he looked forward to meeting Manchester City again. Er, I don't know, Captain Aston Villa's words are not a war post for publicity.
There is no doubt that Gerrard was selected as the best player in the half of the half. In the first half of the season when Torres was constantly injured, Jedra shouldered the burden of attack alone. As a Chinese Super League player, the Red Army's 6-ball league goal ranked first in the team's scorer list, while in the league, if Gerrard scored, the Reds remained unbeaten. In addition, the main reason why the Reds were able to win the half-time championship is that Gerrard kept scoring goals in the Champions League to help the team qualify smoothly. The media is even quite optimistic about the future of the Reds in the second half of the season. After Torres recovered from his injury, Red Army commander Gerrard and Torres are expected to take the Reds' performance to a new level.
Who is the most popular fried chicken after the half-time match of the 2008/2009 Premier League? I'm afraid that no one would have thought it would be Ashley before the start of the season. The name Yang. After half a battle, Ashley, who was on the sidelines. Jan has scored five league goals, and only Cristiano Ronaldo is in front of him. In his goal, Aston Villa maintained a complete victory. Aston Villa can beat Manchester City and Arsenal, ranking fourth in the league, Gareth. Barry and Ashley. He has made great contributions. The excellent performance of the new England international has even attracted the attention of Real Madrid. According to the Marca, the Galactic Battleship has offered a price of 27 million pounds from Aston Villa for Ashley. Yang.
Cristiano Ronaldo was selected as the best midfielder, and there is no suspense. After sending a basket of praise to the winner of the New European Golden Globe Award, Sky Sports used the following footnote: 'Although Liverpool is now the leader, it is certain. As long as Cristiano Ronaldo stays healthy, it is not difficult for Manchester United to complete the league title.
In the lineup of the best strikers, one of them is Chelsea's French striker Anelka. In the first half of Drogba's continuous injury, Anelka, who is a center, has maintained full attendance in the league, and the scoring rate of 14 goals in 19 games has reached a new career high. You know, Anelka's highest goal record in a single season was exactly 10 years ago. In the 98/99 season, he scored 17 goals in 35 league appearances for the Gunners. Of these 14 goals, there are 12 league goals.
Well, Anelka, who scored 12 goals in the half-time league, was selected as the best lineup. So, there is no doubt about the selection of Zhang Yang, who scored 20 goals in the league. Zhang Yang's 20 goals helped Manchester City now rank fifth in the Premier League table, only two points behind the fourth Aston Villa. Considering that Aston Villa is a team that O'Neal has built for many years, and Manchester City is completely the team after this summer's big signings, Manchester City can rank fifth in the league while maintaining its ambition for the fourth place in the league. Zhang Yang's goal is the best!
At present, in the league scorer list, there are 20 goals in the league, leading the high profile. Behind him is Anelka, who scored 12 goals. In the future, the number of goals scored by the goal scorer has not even reached double digits. The Guardian sighed that it is no exaggeration to say that even if Zhang Yang's current number of goals can get the Premier League golden boots.
Premier League Half-time Best Team (4-4-2): Cech/Bossienwa, Ferdinand, Vidic, Ashley. Cole/Cristiano Ronaldo, Gerrard, Gareth. Barry, Ashley. Jan/Anelka, Zhang Yang;
Among them, if we talk about the player's individual comprehensive score, Zhang Yang's average score is the highest. He scores .7 points per game, which beats all kinds of heroes. Behind him is Cristiano Ronaldo, who averages 7,000 points per game!
It is quite a relief to have Zhang Yang's fans. It can also be seen from here that Zhang Yang is better than Cristiano Ronaldo, and the European Golden Globe Award should be Zhang Yang.
They also waved their flags for Zhang Yang, hoping that Zhang Yang could kill Cristiano Ronaldo and win the award in the 2008 World Footballer of the Year selection.
On Friday, Zhang Yang went to London and received the crystal trophy from the reporter's representative, which symbolized the award of the best striker halfway.
When asked to make an award-winning speech, Zhang Yang said that if possible, he was more willing to exchange his personal awards and honors for Manchester City's good results. He hoped that Manchester City could successfully enter the Champions League next season at the end of the season!
If it is at the beginning of the season, even a superstar as strong as Zhang Yang, if he says such a thing, he will inevitably be treated the same as Manchester City club president Alfa Im - to be ridiculed!
However, at this moment, when Zhang Yang said this, no one dared to ridicul him and Manchester City. At least he did not dare to ridicuch on the surface. He was just waiting for the opportunity to fall into the well.
Why? Zhang Yang and the team's performance have won people's initial respect, or more straightforward, making those skeptics shut up and make them have nothing to say for the time being!
And what Zhang Yang said is willing to exchange his personal honor for the team's honor, not to mention whether this person is talking about the scene, but the media has to admit that the current Zhang Yang is much more mature than before, and more and more like the style of the team's flag star!
Now, everyone's eyes are on the FIFA headquarters, where the winners of the 2008 World Footballer will be revealed at the award ceremony!
FIFA's World Player of the Year's Choice is different from the European Golden Globe Awards. The results of the Golden Globe Awards are announced in advance, which is no secret for a long time. Before the 2008 European Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, Zhang Yang did not receive a phone call from French Football. At that time, he knew that he did not Won the prize.
However, this is not the case for the selection of the World Footballer. They will not inform the winners of the award in advance. It is not until the results of the award ceremony that everyone, including the winners, know who is the World Footballer of the Year.
The World Annual Award Ceremony, founded in 1991, has entered its 18th session this year. This year, FIFA has fine-tuned the annual award ceremony. First of all, it moved the time of the award ceremony from December to January of the following year to avoid competition with the Golden Globe Awards, and then for the first time, the World's Mr. The final selection is included in the list of five candidates. Finally, Zhang Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Torres are lucky enough to enter the final stage of the competition.
After the announcement of the five-person list, it has aroused people's doubts. The biggest reason is Harvey's failure. As the midfield brain of the European champion, he was defeated in the top five of the World Footballer, which made Spanish fans feel quite puzzled.
After analyzing the names of the existing top five, the World Sports News thought that it was Kaka who pushed Harvey down, and they once again questioned the selection rules of the World Footballer of the Year.
Mr. FIFA is elected by the coaches and captains of FIFA member countries. Some economically backward small countries do not even have the broadcast of the top European leagues at all. Their choice can only be based on fame rather than the performance and honors received by the players over the past year. Under this premise, Kaka, who is more famous and has an idol style, is obviously more popular than Harvey.
Compared with FIFA, French Football and UEFA Awards are obviously much more professional. The Golden Globe Awards are voted by the top sports journalists in Europe, who obviously have a much better understanding of football than national team captains such as Tanzania and Zambia. In this year's Golden Globe Awards, Kaka only scored 31 points and ranked 8th, and Harvey's score was 97 points, which is more than three times that of Kaka.
Of course, Harvey did not appear in the final five-man list. This is just an episode, and people are more concerned about who can win the World Footballer of the award.
Now, the media generally believe that the final winner will be the competition between Cristiano Ronaldo and Zhang Yang. In view of the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo has won the European Golden Globe Award, many media are more optimistic about the Portuguese star award.
However, this does not mean that Zhang Yang has no chance. Sometimes the speculation of the outside world is unreliable, because the understanding of professional sports media reporters is completely different from that of the head coaches and captains of the national team.
For example, in 2006, the media had a speculation that Cannavaro won the European Golden Globe Award, and the World Footballer of the Year was Ronaldinho's. After all, the Brazilian helped Barcelona win the La Liga and the Champions League that season. In terms of a season's performance, it's going to explode Cannavaro. However, the final result was that Cannavaro also won the World Footballer of the Year award, achieving a new peak for defender players.With such a lesson from the past, who can say that he predicted the final result of the World Footballer?
Although Cristiano won the Premier League and the Champions League, and also won the Premier League Golden Boot, Zhang Yang also won the Serie A championship and broke the scoring record in Serie A and the Champions League! Got the European Golden Boots! In terms of team honor, although it is more flamboyant, when it comes to personal performance, Zhangyang is much better than Cristiano Ronaldo! It's a draw!
The only thing that puts Zhang Yang at a disadvantage is that at the national level, although Cristiano Ronaldo stopped in the quarterfinals of the European Cup with the Portuguese national team, this is still much better than Zhang Yang, because Zhang Yang has been excluded from the national team until now, which has also become today's football world. A strange sight!
In addition, the fans and media who supported Zhang Yang's winning the award also gave examples. It's not that they didn't win the European Champions Cup that year, but lost the star selected by the World Footballer of the Year. In the 2005 World Footballer's Choice, although Liverpool captain Gerrard led the team to complete a shocking reversal in the Champions League final, he tied the score by three goals in a row in ten minutes, and finally defeated AC Milan and won the UEFA Champions League with a penalty kick. Gerrard's performance in the finals was perfect. But even so, he didn't even enter the final three-person shortlist... Not to mention becoming the World Footballer of the Year, but that year he didn't win the Golden Globe like this year's Cristiano Ronaldo.
In order to fight against the powerful UEFA, FIFA can also rack its brains. UEFA has a Champions League brand, and FIFA needs to use more energy and more resources to build a World Cup brand. French Football magazine began to vote for the European Footballer 50 years ago by European football reporters, while FIFA only thought of inviting national team coaches to vote for a world in the 1990s. Mr. Football, in order to prove that he is not blindly following the European Footballer, FIFA has to work hard to find players who are different from the Golden Globe winners to fight against each year. This has also been taken as evidence by many people. They believe that this is also Zhang Yang will win the World Footballer's Award. One reason for the item.
Er, believe this reason, it's definitely not what Zhang Yang likes to hear.
Of course, there are also different opinions. They also have their reasons, that is, the selection of the World Footballer of the Year is far less rigorous than the European Golden Globe Award. FIFA World Footballer's voting rights are in the hands of the head coaches and captains of various national teams. How well do you expect the head coaches and captains of countries such as Pacific Island countries to be well-inten of some changes in football? The criterion for their choice is whether the candidate's name is familiar to them. If they are familiar with it, it means that he is good. If they are not familiar with it, it is not good.
Cristiano Ronaldo became famous earlier than Zhang Yang, which is the advantage!
Indeed, compared with Cristiano Ronaldo, who debuted earlier and became famous earlier, his popularity in the world is obviously lower. Yes, he is the European golden boot of the last two seasons. Yes, he is Mr. 57 million pounds, but his fame is indeed not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition, there is another point that when some national team head coaches and captains vote, they only look at the fame and players' clubs. They see Ristiano Ronaldo is Manchester United's, Zhang Yang is Manchester City's, and he will subconsciously have a preconceived choice.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Zhang Yang's influence in the past two years has increased sharply, which is enough to attract the attention of the head coaches and captains of some small countries.
As long as the award of the World Footballer of the Year is not finally announced, everything is possible.
This is why the World Footballer of the Year is more suspenseful than the European Golden Globe Award.
CCTV Sports Channel chose to broadcast the FIFA award ceremony live, and they also shouted a gimmick, 'It is possible to witness a Chinese player become the World Footballer's. Although Zhang Yang may also lose the election, Zhang Yang can compete with Cristiano Ronaldo for the bayonet, which itself shows Zhang Yang's strength!
Of course, before the results were announced, they still aroused the appetite of Chinese fans. That night, many Chinese fans waited in front of the TV, waiting for the announcement of the results.
The English media does not care who will win the World Footballer of the Year in the end, because both Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo are from the Premier League, which makes them proud, because the view that the Premier League is the first league in Europe has the most favorable evidence! The two best players in football today are in the Premier League. Can't this explain the status of the Premier League?
The camera gave Zhang Yang at the award ceremony, and the expression on Zhang Yang's face was very calm.
Is he nervous now?
It's false to say that you are not nervous. Of course, Zhang Yang hopes that he can win the World Footballer, but Zhang Yang also knows that Cristiano Ronaldo is a strong opponent. In addition, that is, Zhang Yang also knows that the Champions League trophy is his biggest weakness and regret! Even if he can't win the prize in the end, he won't be too sad. He has always had a dream in his heart, that is: sweep Europe, get the Champions League trophies, get the league trophies, get all the trophies he can get, and sweep everything! With an undisputed posture, he won the European Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer of the Year!
Especially when the opponent is Cristiano Ronaldo, Zhang Yang wants to convince Cristiano Ronaldo to lose!
The first award is the Fair Play Award. The chairman of the African Football Association awarded this award to the Turkish Football Association, which has made a miracle of reversal in the European Cup this summer, and the Armenian Football Association, a small European football country. Secondly, the special award of the chairman is given, and the award is given to the U.S. women's national team. The active U.S. women's football player Aulei also received this heavyweight award as a representative of the U.S. women's football team!
The next Miss World Football Award is also the first ** that set off tonight's award ceremony. In the Olympic women's football competition held in Beijing in 2008, the Brazilian team once again lost to the world championship and lost to the United States as the runner-up. Although the absolute core of the Samba Legion, Marta failed to lead the Brazilian team to win the women's football championship in this summer, she still beat her teammate Kerry with her superb skills. Stianni, German women's football striker Prinz, as well as German women's football goalkeeper Angelel and England women's football core Smith, were re-elected as Miss World Football after 2006 and 2007, and also achieved three consecutive championships of Miss World. Germany's 'football emperor' Beckenbauer awarded Marta again after last year. .
Immediately after that, the World Footballer's Award was finally released, and the heavyweight award that all fans around the world had been looking forward to was also announced. After telling a story of the award guest, Pele, Bailey read the name of the winner:
Cristiano Ronaldo!
At this time, there was a burst of exclamation at the scene, followed by warm applause. Those who supported Zhang Yang and won the award also applauded Cristiano Ronaldo after the loss. After all, Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was also very good. He won the award, and people were also prepared for it.
At this time, immediately give a close-up of the face of Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Zhang Yang's expression is calm. Cristiano Ronaldo is ecstatic. Cristiano Ronaldo is under more pressure than publicity. Again, he is the champion of the UEFA Champions League. If he can't win the trophy, it will be a big blow to Cristiano Ronaldo.
As for Zhang Yang, he has been prepared for a long time. If he wants to say that he is not depressed, it is a lie. However, Zhang Yang is not too depressed. He knows that even if he is lucky enough to win a prize, it will cause a lot of controversy. Instead of this, it is better for me to be aboveboard and unstoppable in the future. ! Of course, this is also to comfort yourself.
Zhang Yang took the initiative to reach out to Cristiano Ronaldo and congratulate his good friend.
"Congratulations, Cristiano." Zhang Yang said.
"Thank you." Cristiano Ronaldo smiled, and he squeezed his eyes, "Zhang, I beat you again."
Zhang Yang laughed, and he also said rudely, "Cristiano, I promise, this is the last time you beat me!"
Cristiano Ronaldo and Zhang Yang are good friends. It is precisely because they are good friends that these two proud guys don't need to say anything fake words when facing each other. Their words are tense. No one wants to lose to each other.
Then, the top five players scored on the big screen of the scene.
Kaka: 101 points;
Torres: 151 points;
Messi: 369 points;
Tang Yang: 829 points;
Cristiano Ronaldo: 830 points!
Whoo, whoo, whoo!
Wow, wow, wow!
Wangling!
There was an uproar at the scene!
"God, Zhang is only one point more than Cristiano Ronald!"
"God, what a pity!"
"What a pity!"
After the exclamation and regret of the crowd, the applause sounded, and everyone applauded coincidentally. Even the people who supported Cristiano Ronaldo had to feel sorry for the publicity in their hearts.
"This is the best era. This is an era when football is getting more and more wonderful. Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo. At the same time, we also want to say a word to Zhang that his performance last year was so wonderful!" The words of the guests at the scene made the atmosphere of the whole audience reach **.
Rao Zhang Yang was relieved in his heart just now, but he was still depressed to see that he was only a little more than Cristiano Ronald.
Your sister!
He would rather be a few tens of points more than Cristiano Ronald, so that he would feel more comfortable.
The expression on Cristiano Ronaldo's face is also a little awkward. Obviously, this situation is also unexpected to him. He is also unhappy, only one point more than Zhang Yang, which will make him the most vulnerable winner in the history of the World Footballer!
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo is unhappy. Of course, he is still happy in his heart. Fortunately, he is one point more than Zhang Yang. If Zhang Yang is one point more than him, he will not be depressed.
The front page of the media the next day was a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo holding the World's Footballer's trophy.
Although I am not depressed, this is an unavoidable fact.
So much so that Zhang Yang didn't want to touch the newspaper for more than a week.
After returning to Manchester from FIFA headquarters, Zhang Yang immediately threw himself into the team's training and games.
At the weekend, the 2008/2009 FA Cup match kicked off.
Manchester City's opponent in this round is Nottingham Forest.
In this game, Zhang Yang scored his first goal in this ancient tournament, which was also the only goal in the game. Manchester City beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at home and was able to advance to the next round.
However, Manchester City paid a lot of price to get this game, at the cost of Zhang Yang's injury. Nottingham Forest is the admirer of England's traditional football style. They pay great attention to fighting, and in order to defend Zhang Yang, Nottingham Forest adopted lethal tactics. Zhang Yang just started the second half of the game. He was shoveled by his opponent and had to be replaced.
The bad foul of the Nottingham Forest player also aroused the dissatisfaction of Manchester City players. There was a fierce conflict between the two sides, and the referee had to use three red cards and five yellow cards to stop the conflict.
Two people were sent off from Nottingham Forest, including the foul player, and on the Manchester City side, Richards was also sent off with a red card for hitting.
It can be said that this game is a tragic victory.
After the game, the English Football Federation also issued a ticket for the conflict in the FA Cup match between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest.
On the side of Manchester City, Richards was banned for three games.
And Wright, who is suspected of black feet and hiding deeply in the conflict. Phillips also had no way to escape in the post-match video and was banned for two games.
Zhang Yang's injury and this ticket have a huge impact on Manchester City.
A week later, in the 21st round of the league, Manchester City was tied by Portsmouth by zero away. This draw also made Manchester City miss an opportunity to narrow the score gap with the previous team.
In this round of the league, there was a focus battle. Manchester United played against Chelsea at home. Finally, with the goals of Vidic, Rooney and Berbatov, Manchester United beat Chelsea 3-0 at home!
This is seen as a strong confrontation in the Premier League, but it is really easy for Manchester United to win. In addition to three goals, the goals blown off before the end of the first half and the goals blown off by Cristiano Ronaldo in the second half should be good goals. Chelsea's weakness reduced the excitement of the game.
In the eyes of some people, Scolari may be barely a bloody coach. It was under his leadership that the Brazilian team and the Portuguese team became strong, but Chelsea in this game did not see any blood at all. For a weak team like West Bromwich Albion, Chelsea can play romantically, but in the face of an opponent like Manchester United, if your attack is still slow, if you still only pursue gorgeous footwork and smooth cooperation, you are doomed to pay for your arrogance.
In fact, in the first half of the game, Chelsea did not fall behind. Because of the lineup, Chelsea has five people in the midfield, and there is only one Drogba in front, which makes them one more person in the midfield than their opponents. They should have more time to control the ball than Manchester United. The progress in the middle is smooth, and the pass between a small range of people is powerful. It's a pity that they miss their cooperation too much, and Drogba is in poor condition. There are not many really threatening shots from Chelsea.
Manchester United have a completely different attitude. They quickly pass through the midfield and go straight into the opponent's hinterland. This simple style once made them make a lot of mistakes in the midfield, but the efficiency is much higher than that of their opponents. In the minutes before the end of the first half, Manchester United formed a siege of their opponents, and it was this round of small ** that allowed them to score goals.
"Chelsea's disappointment is more reflected in the second half. They should have caught up when they were behind, but they always played listlessly. The midfielders failed collectively, and the most disappointing thing was Barak. Chelsea fans should clearly remember that last season, it was Ballack's two goals that just returned to help Chelsea beat Manchester United. Ballack also performed well in the Champions League final, but today's Barack is more like the Ballack in last year's European Cup final. Look at him. It is not as strong as the unique tenacity and blood of German players. They don't keep an eye on people when defending, make frequent mistakes when attacking, and can't take advantage of the confrontation at all. It's quite similar to a fake fall. Is Barak really useless?" - This is the sharp words of the Times after the game.
The score of 3-0 is the best praise for Manchester United's godfather Ferguson. There is no doubt that the general director of their victory, Mourinho appeared in the stands of this game. The former Chelsea head coach and the current head coach of Inter Milan are frowned. Inter Milan met Manchester United in the eighth of the Champions League, but, obviously, the performance of Manchester United in this game, let Mu Rino has a headache. Such a Manchester United is difficult to overcome. Ferguson has brought the characteristics of almost every player to the extreme. The media also praised South Korean player Park Ji-sung, whose performance was almost perfect. In people's impression, Park Ji-sung is full of physical strength and tenacious style, but lacks talent and inspiration. In this game, Park Ji-sung may be the most neglected object for Chelsea players, but Park Ji-sung's interpolation, response and shooting have caused too much trouble for Chelsea.
In addition, the use of Giggs has proved to be extremely wise. It doesn't seem to be a whim of Ferguson to let Giggs replace Carrick in the main midfield. He is well aware of the role that veterans like Giggs can play in such a critical game. Giggs has indeed become one of the most active players in the game. He is the key player in Manchester United's victory in this game, the hub and spiritual leader of Manchester United's transition from defense to attack.
After the game, the angry Scolari also spoke amazingly. He said that he and Chelsea were not like men.
Of course, speaking of this game, I have to mention one person, that is Mourinho!
Mourinho is back. In the Chelsea match against Manchester United, in the stands of Old Trafford, Chelsea fans and players saw the familiar figure again 16 months later. Under the once familiar rhythm, the madman's face is expressionless, and Scolari, who is seated on the visiting team, is like sitting on pins and needles!
Six hours before this game, Mourinho was interviewed by the media. His remarks must have stimulated Scolari's nerves. He thought that if he hadn't left Chelsea, the Blues would have reached the top of Europe. In addition, the madman's meaning is also quite sarcastic that Scolari's Chelsea is less bloody than his Chelsea. He said that Chelsea is now flashy.
In fact, this game and Chelsea's performance throughout the season proved that Mourinho was not intentional.
Under the leadership of Scolari, the Blues can hardly play a bloody game and will not reverse the game. Not to mention the once solid Stamford Bridge has become a blessed place to give points to their opponents. It can be said that Scolari is a little overcorrected in the transformation of Chelsea. At this point, he is not even as good as the "rookie" Grant, because the Israelis still know "Xiao Ru Cao Sui".
What's the problem with Chelsea? I'm afraid the most important thing is the ball control tactics pursued by Scolari, that is, the so-called "Brazilianization" transformation. This change only brightens people's eyes in the autumn. Now it seems that there are three crimes caused by this change: the soft style of the ball, the team's incompetence, and the players losing their enthusiasm for the game. In order to cater to Abu's beautiful football, Scolari let his team work first to control the ball. However, the end result was that there was beautiful data, and the opponent began to lose their awe in front of the Blues. The UEFA Champions League away 1-3 loss to Roma is a good witness. The zero-to-three loss to Manchester United is another blow.
Since seeing Mourinho return to London, the media will naturally not easily let go of the 'madman'. What is the most eye-catching topic now? Naturally, it is the selection results of the World Footballer of the Year that has just been announced.
Cristiano Ronaldo won by an extremely narrow margin of one point, which also intensified the quarrel about who is qualified to win the World Footballer's trophy.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is excellent. I'm happy to have such a compatriot. Mourinho said, "However, if I come to vote, I will choose to show off. Because, in terms of personal performance, Zhang Yang is better. I am the head coach. To be honest, Zhang Yang is the player that any head coach dreams of.
The head coach of Inter Milan is still so personal and does not hide his preferences. However, his subsequent words caused an uproar, "I have an intuition that Zhang will be my player, and it won't be long before this day."
