Chapter 60 Damn Flies
On Monday, when Ferguson led the team for fitness training in Meacha, he welcomed a familiar guest, Beckham, to visit Manchester United. Beckham, who has just participated in the Milan derby, will naturally provide some information about Inter Milan for Fergence. At the same time, Beckham and Cantona, the two former Manchester United No. 7, also plan to watch the game in person as fans.
Time is a good medicine. At one time, the scene of the master and apprentice, Xiao Bei and Ferguson talking and laughing on the sidelines left a deep impression.
In addition, Beckham also found old friends such as Giggs, Scholes and Ferdinand to cheer them up.
Beckham became famous at Manchester United, and now AC Milan is an sworn enemy of Inter Milan. Anyone can guess who he will support in this game.
Beckham said: "As a Manchester United fan and an AC Milan player, I am on the side of Manchester United. I will come to watch the game live, and I will definitely talk to the players and the head coach. Both sides are great teams, with great coaches and great players. I look forward to the start of the game.
Beckham reminded Manchester United to be careful of Inter Milan's strikers. "There are a large number of excellent players in the world. I think Ibrahimovic and Adriano are very strong, fast, can protect the ball, and you can't scare them. If you can contain these two people, you will have a chance. However, Manchester United also has excellent players who can control the game. Their defense is now indestructible, and their offensive players will also make the international afraid of three points. I really hope Manchester United win every trophy. It's wonderful for us to win the Triple Crown in 1999, and their hope of winning the championship on the fourth line is even more amazing. Manchester United's lineup is so strong from goalkeeper to striker.
Beckham and Manchester United have only friendship left, while Cantona expressed greater ambition again a few days ago. "I hope to coach Manchester United one day. My idea is that I must work with excellent players. Look at Maradona. He only won 2 games in 25 games when he coached the club, but when he went to the national team to cooperate with excellent players, it was immediately different. Now Manchester United is the team he is most eager to coach. Their front line is so gorgeous and dazzling.
And earlier than Cantona, it was Brian Robson who inherited the glory of Manchester United No. 7.
Robson Jr.'s failed coaching experience has made him comfortable with Manchester United's second-tier leisure, but this time he still reminded the team, "Of course, you have to fully respect a team that leads by 9 points in Serie A. The season still has a long way to go. I believe that everyone will not be complacent because of the current good state.
There was also a belated news from the UK. According to London, the home of Premier League Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher was robbed on the evening of the 23rd.
Manchester police revealed that three gangsters broke into the front door of Fletcher's house on the outskirts of Manchester on the evening of the 23rd and forced Fletcher's fiancee to hand over the engagement ring and some jewelry with a knife. Fletcher's mother-in-law-to-be was also threatened by gangsters.
When it happened, Scottish player Fletcher was far away from Italy and represented Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League with Inter Milan on the 24th.
In recent months, there have been several cases of home looting against Liverpool players, which also occurred while they were out to play.
People are now doubting that the Manchester United midfielder is still in the mood to play. The British media once again added a block to their country's team before the game. It is neither the first nor the last time. Every time it makes people feel that these British media are really cute and cute. Hate, it's better not to mess with these crazy people!
The match between Inter Milan and Manchester United means too much for Ibrahimovic. Never-fated Champions League, challenge to Ronaldo, 2009 Golden Globe Award...
Ibrahimovic is 27 years old. He is the golden age of a professional player. If he does not make a breakthrough in Europe, he will face more and more challenges from younger generations such as Messi and Pato. Ibrahimovic made an exception in an interview with the British Daily Mail last week, saying that he would prove that he would compare himself against C against Manchester United. Ronaldo, Rooney and Li Yu are all stronger.
Ibrahimovic is a myth in the league. After landing in Serie A in 2004, his team won the championship every season (the Juventus Serie A championship in 2004-2005 was cancelled, and the championship in the 2005-2006 season was changed to Inter Milan, but Ibrahimovic believes that both championships are Juventus and Own). But on the other hand, Ibrahimovic never made a breakthrough in the Champions League as the champion of Serie A. Especially after joining Inter Milan in the summer of 2006, Inter Milan was hit by Valencia and Liverpool in the knockout match, and Ibrahimovic's downturn was also criticized, although he did seriously injured his knee in March 2008.
"I really hope to prove that I am one of the best strikers in Europe in this game. My goal is to win the Champions League and the European Golden Boot Award in the same season," Ibrahimovise said. This proves that he is very eager to repeat 2008 C. Ronaldo's achievements, "In this way, no one will doubt my strength anymore."
Ibrahimovic's words are very heroic, but the Daily Mail still doubts Ibrahimovic, just like many Europeans, because Ibrahimovic always plays well in the domestic league, but in international arenas, including the national team's competitions, such as the 2006 World Cup and the 2008 European Cup, he plays well. Generally. To achieve Brolin's achievements in Sweden, Ibrahimovic needs more than a little effort.
Ibrahimovic regards Basten as one of his idols. "He has always been one of my favorite strikers. Capello did let me learn his videotape, and I'm still a modest student to this day. Ibrahimović is modest in front of Basten, and absolutely not in front of others. Karu, a Norwegian from Aston Villa, will definitely remember Ibrahimović's words for the rest of his life, "What Karu can do with a ball, I can do with oranges."
"Mourinho is better than Ferguson," Ibrahimovic said. "Ferguson is experienced and I respect him, but Mourinho is better in many ways. I'm ready to play against Manchester United. I must prove that I am better than Rooney and Berbatov. It's a pity that this game would be better if it was the Champions League final. Both teams are the best in Europe. It's embarrassing that one of them is out now.
Sweden, which has never held the door, began to talk nonsense before the game. Compared with the Swedes, several offensive players of Manchester United seem to be much more low-key. Ronaldo still has a password, which is inconvenient to say.
But Li Yu believes that all big talk is a paper tiger. If you have the ability to see it on the field, it will scare you before the game like a long-tongued woman. It doesn't have any effect at all. Instead, it makes you look like a clown. See you on the game, it's getting more and more interesting. It's a battle of focus. Attracting the attention of all parties, Li Yu felt very excited when he thought about it. To compete with his opponent in such a game, this is the game he is eager for!
There was a lot of disturbance. The day before the start of the game, Manchester United and Inter announced the starting list of the game.
In Manchester United's starting lineup, Rooney's name did not appear unexpectedly, and Little Fatty's name appeared on the substitute list.
goalkeeper No. 1 van der Sar, defender from left to right No. 3 Evra, No. 23 Evans, No. 5 Ferdinand, No. 22 Ocher, midfielder No. 13 Park Ji-sung, No. 11 Giggs, No. 16 Carrick, No. 24 Fletcher, front line No. 7 C. Ronaldo, No. 9 Li Yu!
Carrick, whose family was robbed before the game, still appeared in the starting lineup. Looking at Manchester United's appearance, everyone almost knew Ferguson's tactical intention of this game and stabilized the midfield. The previous matter was left to Ronaldo and Li Yu.
Inter Milan's start made the media also come to a conclusion. Mourinho thinks the same as Ferguson. People also know that Magic Bird started with a defensive counterattack. Although this game is Inter Milan's home stadium, Mourinho doesn't want to give up his famous strategy.
The goalkeeper No. 12 J. Cesar, defender from left to right, No. 13 Macon, No. 24 Rivas, No. 26 Kivo, No. 39 Thornton, midfield line No. 4 Sanetti, No. 19 Cambiasso, No. 20 Montari, front midfield No. 5 Stankovic, front line No. 8 Ibrahimovic, No. 10 Adriano.
The strong dialogue is like this for many times. Now the staff of the head coaches on both sides are conservative. It is obviously unrealistic to expect them to do their best to attack in the first game. Such adventurous tactics are difficult to see in such a game.
The key to the game is that the team can take the lead and break through the opponent's goal, so that the team that gains the goal can grasp the initiative of the game, and the counterattack of the two teams can also give the opponent more threats.
If there is no goal, the two teams will be very anxious, and the game will not be as gorgeous and beautiful as the lineup of the two teams.
Fans hope that the goal will appear faster in the game. Whether it is Manchester United or Inter, the game will not be anxious.
On the day of the game, the Meacha Stadium became a blue ocean. At this moment, the red looks so abrupt in the stadium. Whether it is the red of Manchester United or the red and black of the sworn enemy AC Milan, it is not popular here.
The huge Ibrahimovic banner and the fireworks before the game have pushed the atmosphere before the game to the top. Manchester United fans seem so small, but they must not be convinced. They don't listen to the lyrics and wave the fans' scarf in their hands. Anyway, Manchester United came to Meacha's loyal fans. I won't let go of any chance to cheer for my team.
The visiting team fans without tickets have to stay in the square in the city center to cheer for Manchester United. Milan's police are also ready to prevent fans from making trouble. British fans are the key targets of police in various countries wherever they are.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United's performance was unexpected.
Li Yu and Li Yu completed two extremely threatening shots in less than 5 minutes of the opening time.
In the 3rd minute, Giggs made a left corner kick, and Li Yu beat Rivas's strong header in the middle, which was bravely resolved by Cesar.
Only two minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo took a free kick on the right side of the front court, slightly out of the far post.
The three-board axe at the opening of Manchester United made Inter have to deal with it carefully. A C Ronaldo is enough to give Mourinho a headache. Now there is also a Li Yu, and the two of them did not all appear on the front line as expected before the game. Today, C Ronaldo's position is more like a front waist, Portuguese Standing behind Li Yu!
From just a few minutes, it can be seen that Inter are really unlucky today. Manchester United's two goal machines are in excellent condition.
Li Yu felt better than the last game. Ronaldo's free kick was also created by his breakthrough and caused a foul by his opponent Rivas.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines and waved his hand, and Manchester United began a continuous offensive against the guest.
Mourinho's hands are sinking, so that the Inter players must be stable and wait for a good time to counterattack.
Li Yu is also unreasonable. Rivas mainly keeps an eye on him. This Colombian black central defender is characterized by fast speed and strong body. However, now it seems that Rivas is still slow and his body is still not strong enough. In several consecutive confrontations with Li Yu, Li Yu has quickly made Li Yu a little confused.
It's not a good thing to be confused on the field. Rivas now doesn't know how to defend Li Yu. There's really nothing he can do. His two sharp weapons are now against Manchester United's No. 9, as if he can't take any advantage. In the first confrontation, he completely lost his confidence in defending Li Yu, which is also in comparison. Deadly in the game.
Li Yu alone can mess up Inter's defense line now. If Cesar hadn't performed bravely, the score would have been probably been rewritten.
Italian fans are not so talkative. Fans who know the ball have begun to entertain Rivas with sporadic boos.
The ruthless boos of the fans made the Colombians even more at a loss. Mourinho had to replace Rivas with Cordoba just in the 12th minute of the game.
It didn't take long for Li Vaz to almost abolish Rivas. Such a substitution is absolutely a devastating blow to the players. Not only the players themselves, but also Mourinho will not easily give Rivas a chance to play in the next game.
Mourinho's carefully selected defender of Li Yu died!
The replaced Cordoba is not the same style of defensive player as Rivas. If Rivas is a sharp sword and full of direct stabbing attacks, then Cordoba is a typical blunt knife. It is not conspicuous at all and his body is not strong. Such a person can occupy a place in Serie A giants Inter. With the style of this blunt knife, it slowly grinds with you until your opponent collapses. Of course, Cordoba also has his own tricks, endless extremely hidden small movements, constantly greeting Li Yu.
Cordoba doesn't want to do this. He really has no choice. In order to meet Mourinho's defensive requirements, he can only use all the things he can know. The young man's threat surprised him. Cordoba, who has been in Serie A for many years, is somewhat disdainful of Li Yu. But now it seems that I definitely underestimated this Chinese young man before. Now he is so well-known and has a high reputation, which is also applicable in the football world.
"This fly is so annoying. It keeps moving its hands and doesn't make it clear in its mouth. What the hell!" Li Yu secretly vented in her heart that it was useless, and this time she said it.
Cordoba knew that his all-round care had an effect. Li Yu had begun to be anxious. He worked harder to get the boy down with an arch fire!
He is also a Colombian. Cordoba's set is obviously more effective. Now he has an established strategy and moves his hands more frequently.
Li Yu really couldn't stand it anymore. After being close to him this time, this guy secretly pinched Li Yu four or five times in a row. He was so angry!
In the area, Cordoba, a small man, was directly thrown out by Li Yu. Of course, the referee of such a big action will not ignore it, a yellow card.
The good state since the opening has really made the annoying flies sick, especially Cordoba's seemingly innocent face. Li Yu really wants to go up with two big mouths on the front and back. In addition, do you know that he was struck by lightning with the little brother pretending to be B?
Thinking about it, Li Yu was in a much better mood. The ball was quickly handed over to Ronaldo. The fly made Li Yu sick. Li Yu wanted to slow down.
The Portuguese were not disgusted by the flies, and they were still in a hot state. Manchester United had a threatening attack 20 minutes after the first half. Most of them came from C Ronaldo, and Li Yu was almost invisible!
Ferguson doesn't know whether Li Yu was restrained by the top, but the old man was not too anxious. After all, Manchester United still has an advantage in the scene now. At the same time, he also wants to see how Li Yu dealt with such a defensive player and whether he can get rid of it.
Li Yu was also thinking about a way at this time. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and did it!
In the 26th minute, Cordoba made a mistake in shoveling. Giggs took a direct pass and got out of the defense. The small angle shot with his left foot in the left penalty area was blocked by Cesar's body.
A minute later, Cristiano Ronaldo took a free kick in the front court again. His right foot shot vigorously and flew to the lower right corner, but was held out by Cesar again.
Li Yu ran to the side coach's seat. Is he going to take the initiative to ask for a replacement?
Of course not. Before Manchester United's corner kick attack, Li Yu wanted to arm herself and quickly ran to the bench. "Do you have earplugs? Give me a pair!"
The staff of Manchester United stayed directly on the spot. This is a football match. What's the use of playing that? Besides, no one will prepare earplugs before the game!
Looking at the expression of the staff, Li Yu knew that there was nothing he wanted. "Paper towels are fine. Give me two tissues quickly!"
"Don't stand stupidly. Hurry up. Don't let the referee see it!"
Under Li Yu's urging, the Manchester United staff handed over two paper towels. Li Yu was stuffed into her ears. The world was quiet. Damn fly, I'm coming!
