Chapter 211 Good and Bad
Since the beginning of the 05-06 season, Manchester United has won four consecutive seasons. In the previous 20 seasons of this season, only two seasons have been empty and nothing. Therefore, winning this League Cup is of great significance to Manchester United, and a championship club must To have the inertia to win the championship, the Lord knows this well.
Starting from next Saturday, Manchester United will have a March schedule. In 22 days, Manchester United is now determined to play 5 games. The good news is that these five games include three home games and two away games. Among them, starting from March 10, they have been playing against AC Milan, Fulham and Liverpool at home. This month, there are two away games, which are currently ranked 17th in the league, Wolves and 15th in Bolton. It is not difficult to score 3 points in all two away games.
On the contrary, there are three home games. Manchester United needs to deal with it seriously. Four days after playing Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester United will face the challenge of AC Milan in Old Trafford. This is an extremely important game for Manchester United and will directly determine whether the Red Devils can continue in the Champions League this season.
Now, Manchester United's morale is high after winning the League Cup. When they challenged the first round of this season, they sent 11 substitutes to the Wolves with three points. It will not be very difficult. Wolves coach McCarthy may also face the enemy with a substitute or semi-main lineup. After all, when the two sides met for the first time in the first half of the season, Wolves In fact, the team gave up the away game against Manchester United, but they played in the main team, and then scored an important three points on the way to relegation at home with Burnley, who was promoted 2-0 at home. After the home game against Manchester United, the Wolverhampton Wanderers' opponent in the next round is still Burnley. Of course, the Wolverhampton Wanderers are going away to challenge Burnley. I'm afraid it's not so easy to get all 3 points.
Four days after playing Milan, Manchester United will play against Fulham at home. The Farmer played Manchester United 2-0 at home in the league last season, and played 3-0 at home in the league this season. For the Red Devils, this is a complete revenge battle. A week after playing Fulham, Manchester United will continue to play in Old Tra. Ford played against Liverpool. The Reds have won a 2-0 home game against Manchester United this season, but this is about the focus of the championship and the Champions League. Manchester United must respond seriously. After all, the Red Devils have lost three games to Liverpool in a row in the league. Once they break through Milan, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will It will be held on March 30th and 31st local time. It is not known whether Manchester United will face the opponent at home or take the challenge away.
Now, Manchester United's most important recent game is the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final against Milan. In terms of personnel, Anderson's season has been scrapped in advance. The main central defender Ferdinand and the main right-back O'Shea will definitely not be able to play against Milan. I'm afraid that the striker Owen, who is injured in his groin, will not be able to play. However, Nani, who has been suspended in domestic events, can play, and Giggs, who is injured in his left arm, is also very likely to be in time. Come back, so that Manchester United will be able to face Milan with a relatively neat lineup.
Once it can win Wolves, the morale of Manchester United, which has won three consecutive victories in all competitions, will be very high, and Milan, which is almost doomed to lose Pato, will undoubtedly be very difficult to complete the task of losing Manchester United after scoring at least two goals in the away game.
And on April 3, Manchester United's Old Trafford played against Chelsea at home, which may become the Battle of Tianwang Mountain for the Premier League this season. Of course, for the Lord and his Manchester United, they prefer Chelsea to go further in the Champions League. Because in this way, Chelsea will fight on three fronts (English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup), and none of Ancelotti's teams want to give up (only Chelsea is left in the traditional quarter-finals of the FA Cup). If so, the best time for Manchester United to win the unprecedented league four consecutive championships is coming!
Sprinting towards the champion, Li Yu is also working hard. Recently, Jenny is still in a cold war with him, but Li Yu is not worried at all. Now that she already knows what Xiao Nizi wants, just give her a well-prepared proposal ceremony.
I'm sure I can't leave now. If the little girl is okay in the UK, she can only wait until the end of the season to send a surprise.
In the game with the Wolves, Li Yu started one after another, but she was really not in good condition. She didn't run a lot, but she didn't grasp any chance. Instead, Rooney, who replaced him, scored the only goal in the game in 70 minutes.
Manchester United defeated the Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 away from home, which is completely different from the ease predicted by the media. During the game, Wolverhampton Wanderers played very actively, which brought a lot of trouble to Manchester United. Most importantly, they successfully suppressed Li Yu's performance. Anyway, this alone That's enough to be proud.
They seem to have found a way to solve the problems that many rich families have failed to achieve. Of course, this also has something to do with Li Yu's own state. If they don't play well, they will be replaced by Rooney. This is the first time in Li Yu's career.
Ferguson said after the game that his replacement of Li Yu was not dissatisfaction with his performance, but that Manchester United No. 9 could have more rest!
Many media seized this opportunity to advocate the end of the Li Yu phenomenon to win more attention.
Will this be the end of a Li Yu phenomenon?
Maybe the media themselves believe in the nonsense they have made up, but the fact is that the sales of newspapers are amazing, and a series of nonsense reports have made newspapers sell well.
This is not the luckiest media. The Sun has found another way. It has been paying attention to Li Yu and Jenny's Twitter. It has found that the interaction between the two has been much less recently. Looking at Li Yu's recent performance on the court, they boldly came to a conclusion that the crisis between the two is that Li Yu's poor performance. The reason.
Li Yu didn't expect that The Sun really did his homework, as if she couldn't hide anything from them.
However, as the person concerned, Li Yu chose to be silent. The best way to deal with these media is not to make any comments. Once they speak, they will climb along the pole and will never give them this opportunity.
The abnormal performance of a game has attracted so much news, and many people may also envy Li Yu's exposure.
Soon, in the league home game against Fulham four days later, Li Yu smashed all the rumors about his phenomenal level.
In the game against Fulham, although Manchester United shot as many as 15 times in the first half, they failed to open Fulham's door. But in the second half, Li Yumei scored twice, Rooney was the icing on the cake, and the Red Devils successfully avenged with a big score of 3-0.
This is another game that Manchester United won in the second half. This season, if the score of the first half is excluded and only the theoretical points obtained by the second half are calculated, Manchester United will get 65 points in 30 rounds, averaging 2.17 points per game, and Arsenal will score 63 points in 30 rounds. , averaging 2.1 points per game; Real Madrid and Bayern averaged 54 points in 26 rounds, averaging 2.08 points per game; Chelsea scored 58 points in 29 rounds, averaging 2 points per game; Barcelona scored 51 points in 26 rounds, averaging 1.96 points per game; Inter is obviously better at playing in the first half, and the points failed to enter the top ten in the second half.
Not only the national league, but also the Champions League. In the 6 group matches, if only the score is calculated in the second half, Manchester United will have 5 wins and 1 draw, with 16 points; in the 1/8 final, two rounds against Milan, away 3-2 away, Manchester United beat Milan "2-1" in the second half; 4-0 at home against AC Mi Lan, Manchester United defeated the Rossoneri "3-0" in the second half. That is to say, in the two most important games of the Premier League and the Champions League, if only the score in the second half is calculated, Manchester United can score 87 points in a total of 38 games, averaging an incredible 2.29 points per game. There is no doubt that Manchester United is the best team in the second half of Europe.
With an investment of only 51.4 million pounds this season, the decline in Manchester United's strength will be inevitable, but even so, the Red Devils can still make a splash in the Premier League and Champions League this season. Sir Alex Ferguson is using his magical hands to push this post-C Rottweis-era Manchester United to the throne of the Premier League four consecutive championships little by little.
This is thanks to Li Yu's full-scale outbreak in the second half, which dominated the game.
If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that many times it is Li Yu's sudden outbreak, leading Manchester United to fight back crazily in the second half. Manchester United No. 9 best interpretation of Ferguson's indomitable spirit instilled in the players.
In response to this, Fulham's number one killer, Zamora said after the game, "I think Cristiano Ronaldo's departure has made Li Yu a better player. The speed of his progress is incredible. I just hope that he can stay in this state in the World Cup, because when he is fired, the World Cup will be more exciting.
Teammate Vidic also praised Li Yu, "Li Yu must be the best scorer in the world. His performance this season is excellent, especially in the second half of the season. He is the main reason why we have won so many games. I'm glad that I don't have to defend him in the game."
Fulham coach Hodgson also praised Li Yu after the game, "Li Yu can prove that he is one of the best players in the world at any time. He has been able to score so many goals in such a difficult league. He is the protagonist of the World Cup and the Champions League. It's not surprising that Real Madrid is eager for Li Yu. All I know is that I don't have that much money.
After the game, the Lord believes that Manchester United still has 8 rounds left in the league this season, up to 5 games in the Champions League, and at least 2 games. Li Yu's pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 42 goals in a single season is a very realistic goal.
However, Li Yu herself is not very interested in this record. "To be honest, scoring 42 goals doesn't mean much to me, which is actually not important. Of course, the feeling of scoring a goal is very good. I think I can score goals in every game. Cristiano Ronaldo's achievement is incredible. But I am a different type of player and a different person. I don't want to compare myself with Cristiano.
Li Yu has now scored 28 goals in the league, which not only makes him continue to lead the European Golden Boot List, but also, with the last eight rounds left in the league, who dares to say that Li Yu will not break the Premier League record of 34 goals in a single season held by Shearer and Cole? In one language, Li Yu is still making great strides towards the three golden boots of the Premier League, Champions League gold boots and European gold boots.
Former Real Madrid President Calderon claimed before the game that Real Madrid hopes to sign Li Yu, but needs to make an offer of 80 million pounds or more. It looks like the chairman is going to buy Li Yu. I guess Manchester United doesn't want to lose a player like him. Sometimes this is a matter of money. If there is an offer, there may be an agreement. You must pay attention to it. The most important thing is what the players want to do. Cristiano Ronaldo is a good signing. He is one of the best players in the world. He is a real professional player, and he has done really well. I don't know if it is feasible to spend another 100 million euros (about 90.6 million pounds) or 80 million euros (about 72.5 million pounds). In that case, I guess Manchester United will have to accept the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo.
I'm afraid Calderon will be really disappointed. Even if Real Madrid pays 100 million pounds, Manchester United will not sell Li Yu.
The reason is very simple. As a Chinese, Li Yu is the most appealing star in the world.
Moreover, whether in the Chinese national team or Manchester United, Li Yu is the absolute number one. Now all European clubs want to open up a huge market in Asia. Manchester United with Li Yu has no need to worry about this at all. No matter which country in Asia, in Manchester United fan stores, there is a No. 9 jersey printed on it. Yes, it's a hot item.
The income from buying jerseys in Asia alone has already earned back the sky-high transfer fee at that time.
When the Manchester United club is obviously in the loan repayment crisis, they will give up the Asian market. The jersey is actually a small matter. Li Yu is in the team, and Manchester United will go to Asia to search for gold, but it is not the previous price. It is more than doubled.
In today's football world, it is difficult for you to find a player with such a fan, and no one may achieve such an achievement.
In China, Li Yu is a god-like figure. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka can't do it. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi must be the first brother of Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, but in the world, they and Li Yu are not at the same level at all.
What's more, the Lord himself said that the reason why he sold Ronaldo was that the Portuguese were willing to go to Real Madrid, and Li Yu had already claimed many times that he only wanted to play for Manchester United. If he had to add a deadline to this sentence, Li Yu's answer could only be: for a lifetime.
Of course, these are all the words given by the media, but there is no denying that Li Yu is doing well and happy at Manchester United.
The British media always say that Li Yu is going to Real Madrid, no!
What you have is only the struggle for power. Playing football is no longer pure!
It is the purest football in the UK!
However, Li Yu has long been used to the sayings of these media. Every day, everything is good. When it's not good, it's nothing!
The reaction of last week and this week is the best proof. The phenomenal level will soon become world-class. The media is just to have a look and entertain. I really believe that it is a fool!
Next, Manchester United will play against AC Milan, which is a duel that is bound to attract the attention of the world. Before the red and black team at home, Manchester United coach Ferguson believed that the away victory three weeks ago was a milestone.
Before February this year, Manchester United had visited San Siro Stadium four times, but did not even score a goal. Three weeks ago, Manchester United not only scored goals in Milan, but also scored three goals and won. Ferguson believes: "There is no doubt that it is a landmark victory for us. From a historical point of view, you are playing against one of the best teams in European history. When you come back, you must think that the victory and its psychological encouragement are really important.
While Old Trafford welcomes AC Milan, Manchester United will also welcome an old friend: David Beckham, which is Beckham's first return to the Dream Theater since he left Manchester United seven years ago. I think it's difficult to predict their starting list, but I don't know if Beckham will start, and I haven't reached a conclusion about it. Ferguson said, "He hasn't started since the first round, so it's hard to say what impact he will have on the game. But he will come. One thing you need to realize is his wonderful pass. This is a threat. Of course, they will bring us a lot of threats, but we are well aware of David's threat.
In this game, Manchester United fans threatened to watch the game in a protesting yellow and green sword stripe and postpone the entrance by 10 minutes to show their protest against the team's owner Glazer. In this regard, Ferguson believes that fans will not do that. This is a very important game. Old Trafford will be full of voice. I believe that whether they wear traditional red and white jerseys or yellow and green sword stripes, the fans will unite and speak with one voice to make us advance safely. Ferguson said.
In addition, Scholes, who scored in San Siro, said that the goal he scored three weeks ago may be the embarrassment of his career. It is easy enough to admit this. I was going to shoot with my right foot, but the ball hit my left leg. Scholes said, "But a goal is a goal, and I will gladly accept it. This is the goal we need, because in the first 20 minutes of the game, we are very passive and may be three or four goals behind. From that goal, we look like we will become the winners.
Rooney and Li Yu's joint starting lineup can completely guarantee Manchester United's offensive strength in the game. Although Rooney has some minor injuries to his knee, none of this is a problem. As long as there is such a combination, AC Milan can only be a doomed game.
