Chapter 231 Only Manchester United is left

After the end of the 0910 season, there are still four teams in the Premier League and tasks. The first staged is the Europa League final between Fulham and Atletico Madrid.

The 2009/10 UEFA Europa League final was played at the Northern Bank Arena in Hamburg. Atletico Madrid beat Fulham 2-1. Fran took the lead. Simon Davis once equalized, but in overtime, Aguero assisted Fran to score again. Atletico Madrid won the European Cup again after winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1962.

This is the first time that the two sides have fought in the European war. Zamora and Duff recovered in time and appeared in the most important game in the club's 131-year history. Atletico Madrid selected the strongest team to eliminate Liverpool in the semi-finals, and Uyfarusi replaced Barrera.

Both sides were not conservative after the opening. In the 3rd minute, the shot in front of the penalty area was blocked. In the 7th minute, Raul Garcia's long-range shot was blocked by former Liverpool midfielder Murphy.

Atletico Madrid almost scored in the 12th minute. Fulham's midfielder made a mistake in receiving the ball. Aguero broke through the direct pass after intercepting the ball. Fran's strong shot from 12 yards on the left rib of the penalty area hit the far corner post and popped up. Atletico gradually gained the upper hand. In the 16th minute, Ettuhu fouled Uyfarusi, and Reyes's free kick from 30 yards on the right side was saved by Schwarzer.

In the 17th minute, Fulham's left cross was cleared, and Gra's volley at the edge of the penalty area was higher. Atletico Madrid broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute. Simang passed the ball. Aguero stopped the ball and volleyed and missed, but Fran took the opportunity to shoot into the lower left corner at 10 yards.

The tenacious Fulham equalized the score in the 37th minute. Zamora cut into the left side of the penalty area, but missed the shooting angle. Duff passed the ball to Gela, the latter passed the ball on the right side of the penalty area, Asunsan's header barely cleared to the back point, and the unguarded Simon Davis volleyed the goal from 8 yards.

The score of 1:1 remained until the end of the 90-minute game, and the two sides had to play overtime!

Atletico Madrid staged a final shot in the 116th minute. Aguero got rid of Aaron Hughes's back pass from the left, and Fran scored 8 yards before Hanland. Uruguayans were also given a yellow card for their excited stripping celebration. Greening replaced Murphy. Aguero was also replaced by Barrera.

In the end, Atletico Madrid scored a goal in overtime and won the UEFA Champions League 2-1.

Atletico Madrid, who won the UEFA Europa League, returned to Madrid. They held a grand celebration ceremony, which is also the trophy of the official competition after 14 years after winning the double championship of La Liga and the King's Cup in the 95-96 season. All the players of Atletico Madrid stood on the open bus and cruised in Madrid, showing the newly arrived UEFA Europa League trophy. The team celebrated at the City Hall Square and Almudena Church. The final location chose the famous Neptune Fountain, which is also the traditional place for Atletico Madrid to celebrate.

Thousands of Atletico Madrid fans celebrated this historic moment with the team. When captain Antonio Lopez was at the Neptune Fountain, he also tied Atletico Madrid's scarf to the neck of the statue of Neptune.

Fulham can only return to England with the title of runner-up. Although they have won the respect of the fans, they can't see any celebration scene in London, just because they bring back the runner-up, the runner-up that the football world does not have!

London fans also have an opportunity to celebrate the championship, that is, Chelsea will play in the final of the FA Cup after 2.

The 2009/10 FA Cup final was held at Wembley Stadium. Chelsea beat Portsmouth 1-0, Chelsea scored 6 in the goal frame, and Cech saved the penalty shot by Boateng. Then Drogba scored with a free kick, and Lampard also missed a good opportunity for a penalty. . This is the sixth time that Chelsea has won the FA Cup and the third time in the past four years.

The only pity is that the club won the double championship for the first time in history, but Chelsea missed it.

As the oldest football event in the history of modern football, the English FA Cup has set too many amazing records for the latecomers. The more the record book extends, the more difficult it is to break through. What a glory it will be if it can win a seat.

In today's final, 29-year-old and 5-month-old Ashley Cole became an important figure who must be portrayed: his sixth FA Cup championship record made him the first person in 139 years.

It's just 35 FA Cup appearances, but Ashley Cole repeated the lifelong dreams of many English players over and over again like playing games. Modern football is not the early stage of strong and weak start-up. It is difficult for you to guarantee that you will win the FA Cup in your limited career, let alone I got it six times as the main force before the age of 30.

In fact, it is also God's intention. A-Call is impartial. He broke into a specific area of the two FA Cups in the first decade of the 21st century. One is Arsenal. In the first five years of this century, the Arsenal FA Cup has won three championships and one Asia, and A-Cole is just one of them. In the next five years of this century, it will be replaced by Chelsea. At the Triple Crown, A-Col also happened to be among them. Just like winning the lottery, a series of coincidences came to you alone, and there was no way to avoid it.

Although several giants dominate the Premier League, the unpopular hotbed nature of the FA Cup remains unchanged. In the first decade of this century, even Millwall and Cardiff City can reach the finals, so Southampton, West Ham and Portsmouth can enter the finals as Premier League teams, and even Pompeii can win the championship in 2008. In fact, it is normal. It's over.

In this case, the rich family of multi-line combat is sometimes very much like a rookie. I don't know which round of tension can't get up, or the main players don't have enough physical strength, and they immediately suffer a dumb loss. Therefore, in addition to A-Kole himself who may have the opportunity to improve his record, it is even more difficult for other players to reach six championships or even higher. At least at present, I can't see who is qualified. In addition, Garras should be most jealous of A-Kole's achievements. The choice of the team is completely reversed with A-Kole, so that the Frenchman has never won an FA Cup championship.

Today's final can be regarded as Ah Cole's little strength in his natural performance, which is not particularly prominent, but three threatening passes and two rounds are enough to ensure that his opponent is always in fear on the left side, and Pikion's huge threatening shot is also thanks to Ah Cole's block, let He shot very uncomfortably. Otherwise, he would choose a good angle in the small penalty area and then shoot angrily, and the two Cechs couldn't stop it. Cole was absent for about 75 days from February to April this season. As the absolute main choice of England's Capello, it is obvious that A-Kole should not use it too much when it is time to spare, and it will work. Anyway, defeating Pompeii, the midfield strength is enough.

This season, A-Cole played a total of 33 games due to injury, including the Cup. After becoming the main force of the team in the 01-02 season, he has made more than 40 appearances in 7 seasons, and only made 14 appearances in 05-06 due to serious injury. This season, even the first The second young man was injured in the World Cup for the second time, and the influence on A-Kole cannot be ignored.

At the time when A-Cole was injured and Bridge withdrew in a bad mood, who played the England left-back became a hot topic. Fortunately, after A-Cole's comeback in April, his state immediately returned to its peak, which immediately calmed Capello's troubled heart. Although A-Col's private life is also troublesome, he is still one or two left-backs in the Premier League.

One or two are vaguely mentioned here. Obviously, it is Evra who can compete with him. Looking at the league data alone, the Frenchman played more than 1,000 minutes than Ar Cordo, and the defensive data is much higher. There are incomparable factors here. But one thing may make English fans excited. A-Kole's offensive data is much higher than Evera, which more or less shows his efficiency in this regard.

A-Kole League played 2155 minutes, scored 4 goals and 3 assists, while the Evra League played 3288 minutes, did not score, assisted 3 assists, threatened to pass Evra 34 to 29 slightly lead, and the number of shots led 21-11. Looking at the final result, there is no doubt that A-Kole is much taller.

Of course, the simple number of shots and assists cannot be the only indicator to measure the ability of the full-back. It can be determined that Evra himself should not find a place stronger than A-Kole. Here is an assumption that does not exist. If Acol, the player Mourinho exchanged for Garras, can play in the two Champions League games against Inter, then Mourinho can make it to the final?

It's really not necessarily. In two games against Inter, Ancelotti first used Maluda, and then with Zilkov, which is full of offensive ideas, but the average defensive players, especially Maluda, are completely on the shelves. At first glance, Malouda may look good, but there are so many details of handling of the full-back, and there are so many feelings in a left winger. Do you think? But the assumption is that A-Kole can only watch his team be humiliated by his old handsome.

During A-Kole's recuperation and the exposure of the scandal, there were rumors that Real Madrid tried to buy him for 25 million pounds. Cole's ability no longer needs too much nonsense. As long as the rich rich want to buy it quickly. After all, how many left-backs like him in the world? Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, this position happens to be weak, one level lower than Ashley Cole, and almost all other non-English giants are the same. He and Evra said that they are the top two candidates in the world, and it is estimated that there is not much opposition. Of course, neither of them will choose to leave. After the World Cup, In the Premier League this season, the positional between the two will be a very attractive attraction on the guard line.

Back to the game that night, it was supposed to be a huge duel between the deputy of the league championship class and the relegated deputy squad leader, but the FA Cup final became a close match. In the first half, the Blues created at least four or five chances to score goals, but they were all wasted one by one. With the bravery of goalkeeper James, the Portsmouth man kept the suspense until at least the 58th minute. In this game, in addition to Drogba, who scored a goal, Anelka, another player on the Chelsea front line, also won warm applause from all the fans.

After being transferred from the familiar right side to the left winger, the Frenchman Anelka's performance was not limited, but more brave.

In just the 4th minute, after receiving Lampard's pass, Anelka broke through to the edge of the penalty area and was blocked. This shot also sounded the horn of Chelsea's attack.

Two minutes later, Anelka acted as a ferryman again, headed the ball to Drogba, who shot off the near corner. In the 10th minute, the Frenchman broke into the vicinity of the penalty area and was put down. In the 14th minute, Anelka made a comeback. After entering the penalty area from the left, he shook one after another to get rid of the two defenders, and then the shot was saved by James. In the 32nd minute, the Frenchman, who had been on a long time, tried a long-range shot, and his strong shot at 25 yards was blocked by the opposing defender.

In the 46th minute, Ashley Cole passed the ball across from the left to Anelka on the line of the penalty area. The latter's long-range shot was blocked from the bottom line by the defender. In the 50th minute, Anelka swam to the left side of the penalty area again. His ball possession breakthrough on the left side put a lot of pressure on the opposing defender, but it was later destroyed. In the 75th minute, Anelka suddenly made a cold shot during the lateral movement of the ball on the left side, and the ball deflected out of the goal. In the 78th minute, Anelka forcibly broke into the penalty area from the left and passed it to Lampard, who volleyed higher than the crossbar.

After the game, Sky Sports gave him a high score of 7 points in the whole game, which was only lower than Drogba, who decided the universe with one foot. Anelka, who appeared on the left side of the game, showed a level of level and the opportunities he created, which was even much higher than when he played the right winger. If An Shuai had put the Frenchman's position on the left, I'm afraid Anelka's report card in the league this season would not be as simple as 11 goals and 7 assists.

Anelka is like an enraged "lion". He uses his performance on the court to fight back against the head coach on the sidelines. Of course, at this time, he was not targeting Ancelotti, but Grant on the other side's coach's bench. In the 07-08 season, when Grant replaced Mourinho in charge of Chelsea, although the Israelis led the Blues to the Champions League final, it was a really bleak half season for Anelka.

"At that year's Champions League final, Grant hung me on the bench without even giving any explanation." Although it was Grant who personally brought the French striker to Stamford Bridge during the winter transfer period of 2008, he did not entrust him with a heavy responsibility. Grant looks down on me." In an interview with The Sun before the game, Anelka said, "Maybe he thinks I should be grateful to him, because he bought me from Bolton."

Perhaps the excitement of the new contract is another reason for the outbreak of Anelka. After several months of stalemate, the French contract renewal negotiations reopened. According to the Daily Telegraph, the French will sign a new three-year contract with the club for a total of 15 million pounds before the start of the World Cup. This means that the 31-year-old Anelka is likely to end his career at Stamford Bridge. This "bad boy" who has traveled to many football giants such as Arsenal, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Fenerbahce. After joining the Blues, he described Chelsea as "warm as having a family". Now he has this lifelong contract and can play boots in "home". This is undoubtedly a A happy ending.

"I hope to sign a new contract as soon as possible," Anelka said: "I'm very happy in Chelsea, and I feel like I've found a home. Since I left Real Madrid, I have always wanted to play for a big club again, and now I play for Chelsea. This is a rich club with many first-class players. I think I'm currently playing the best football in my career, and I want to continue to spend my green years in Chelsea." The Daily Telegraph revealed that after the renewal of the contract, the Frenchman will get a weekly salary of £100,000 from the club.

1-0 won the Pompeii Legion, and Chelsea, who won the championship, can now enjoy the joy of victory. After the game, head coach Ancelotti thought it was a victory of extraordinary significance.

"Chelsea has never won the UEFA Champions League, which will be our goal next season. Of course, the league is as important as the FA Cup. When talking about the outlook for next season, Ancelotti began to say, "We want to win the Champions League trophy. In fact, our team has the strength to win this season, but it's a pity that we have lost. Of course, today's victory is equally important, and we need to enjoy it to our heart's content.

In the midst of pressure and doubts this season, Ancelotti has achieved success at Stamford Bridge: "It's normal to be under pressure, and the pressure next season will be greater, but we just need to be ourselves. Next year we will make a comeback and do our best to win every honor.

Although it is just an FA Cup champion, for Chelsea, it is more timely and effective than any champion. Obviously, the game is tough, but without a champion, we can talk about a successful season and continuous glory.

Or, the FA Cup champion is a fig leaf for Chelsea, so what?

In the league, Chelsea is the second, but everyone knows that if they hadn't had some problems in the key games, the champion would not have been replaced by Manchester United. Chelsea's FA Cup champion is just right. Everything is fine. Anyway, Chelsea, with this champion in their hands, next season It will definitely hit other champions one step closer.

So far, there is only one Premier League team and matches, that is, Manchester United. They are going to play the final of the European Cup immediately. Can Manchester United win the three consecutive championships of the Champions League?

Who would have thought that the concept of the Champions League still has three consecutive championships? Now Manchester United is on the road to a great victory, and the final will be staged soon!
