Chapter 235 Future or Mystery
The world is so capricious. Originally, after Inter Milan won the Champions League, Mourinho would announce his joining Real Madrid, but now how can he have anything to do with Manchester United!
Things became complicated and confusing. Ferguson created the glory of Manchester United. If this hot-tempered old man of Scotland did not sit at the coach's table of Manchester United, would people not recognize the red devil that has swept Europe for three years?
Everyone was worried, but the person concerned did not come forward to clarify everything.
Mourinho is undoubtedly one of the most successful head coaches in the world, but what Manchester United want is not enough for success alone, because one of Ferguson's greatest charms, loyalty to the club, everyone knows how many big clubs Mourinho has changed, and it is rare for Manchester United to The handsome position is about to start to shake up.
No, never!
All Manchester United fans don't want this ending, but people surprisingly do not question whether Ferguson will really retire, but care more about who will replace him.
Perhaps in their subconscious, they have understood everything. Ferguson is indeed old. He used to be in high spirits. Ferguson, who celebrated crazily in the court after winning the championship, has disappeared from people's eyes for a long time. The excited swing of a white-haired old man who staggers his fist is after people see the championship this year. Ferguson is very **, but people have to admit that Ferguson is indeed old, and Manchester United doesn't know when there will be a twilight.
Is Manchester United getting old? Many people can't help asking such questions.
Giggs, Scholes, Neville and other veterans have been following the glory of Manchester United throughout their careers, but now look at them, several talented teenagers who were once full of infinite vitality have become living fossils of the Premier League today, and they are also old!
Many people will not admit this. With the love of fans, everything is enough, but when you are old, no one can stop the erosion of the years. What a brilliant record!
Most importantly, people also agree that with such a great three seasons, Ferguson's choice to retire from the rapids is an extremely wise decision and the best time.
Ferguson did not stand up for a long time to clarify. He treated all kinds of speculations from the outside world with silence. Does the old man's silence mean that he was really hesitating. When the season was about to end, people still remember that similar news had been reported. At that time, how resolute Ferguson denied it, but now everything has become Mystery, maybe it's true this time. The time for Manchester United to change its dynasty is coming!
As a member of Manchester United, Li Yu did not expect that there would be such a hot news just two days after leaving. She asked herself that Manchester United No. 9 did not know the real answer.
However, Li Yu did not have time to wait for the final answer. Li Yu carried her bag and went to meet with the Chinese Hong Kong national team in Italy, where the Chinese Hong Kong team will train for two weeks, and then go to South Africa to participate in the World Cup together.
The group draw ceremony for the 2010 South Africa World Cup finals was held at the Cape Town International Convention and Exhibition Center. The draw results came out. Brazil had bad luck. It was divided into Group G with Portugal, which owns C Ronaldo, and C. d'Ivoire, which owns Drogba. The other team in the same group is the mysterious Chinese Hong Kong team. They are the most special team in the World Cup and the first time to participate in the World Cup in history. These four goals The team formed the death group of this Cup. England won the draw, and the other three opponents in Group C were the United States, Algeria and Slovenia.
The top 32 participating in this World Cup are first divided into four levels. The first-level seeded team includes host South Africa, defending champion Italy, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, England and the Netherlands. The second-level teams come from Asia, Oceania, Central and North America and the Caribbean, namely South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Australia, Mexico, the United States, Honduras and New Zealand. The third-tier teams are from Africa and South America, namely Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Ghana, Algeria, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay. The fourth-tier teams are all from Europe. They are France, Portugal, Denmark, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovakia, Greece and Slovenia.
According to the lottery rules for the grouping in the final stage of this World Cup, except for European teams, teams from the same continent cannot be in the same group. In addition, South Africa will definitely appear in the A1 position, and the remaining seven seed teams will enter the first place in the other seven groups. The lottery will start from the first level, in the order from Group A to Group H. The draw for the second to fourth levels of the team will be divided into two steps. First, draw the group, and then determine the specific position of the group. In addition, the third-level team will launch the principle of avoidance in the draw.
The draw ceremony was held by FIFA Secretary-General Valk and Oscar-winning actress, South African local star Richards? Hosted by Theron. Before the start of the draw, there was about an hour of literary performances and famous interviews. Former South African President Mandela sent blessings to the World Cup on the big screen, which was quite touching. The appearance of the lovely World Cup mascot in South Africa also enlivened the atmosphere immediately.
Valke first affirmed the preparation for the World Cup in South Africa, and then gave a brief introduction to the lottery process. After the introduction, the lottery began. Ethiopian long-distance runner Gebresi Larsier, the current captain of South Africa's national rugby team Schmidt, Ntini, the first black cricket player in South African history, South African national team guard Booth, South African acting star and famous English star Beckham became the draw. Sign the guest.
The first team was drawn. South Africa entered Group A without any suspense, and then Argentina was drawn and they entered Group B. England was the third one to enter Group C, and Germany entered Group D. The fifth Dutch was drawn into Group E, and the defending champion Italy then entered Group F. Finally, Brazil entered Group G and Spain entered Group H.
Then began with the draw of the second-level team. Mexico was first drawn, and he entered the A2 position. The second team to be selected was South Korea, and they entered the B3 position. After that, the United States was drawn to the C2 position, while Australia entered the D2 position. Japan's fifth was drawn. They entered the E3 position, while New Zealand entered the F3 position. The last two teams, Huaxia Hong Kong, entered the G2 position and Honduras entered the H3 position.
After the second-level draw, the third-level draw begins. The first one to be drawn was Nigeria, and they entered the B2 position. Subsequently, Idywas was drawn into the number G3. Algeria entered the C3 position and Uruguay entered the A3 position. The fifth in Ghana was pulled out, they entered the D4 position, and Cameroon entered the E4 position. Finally, Paraguay was drawn into the F2 position, while Chile entered the H4 position.
The last draw is for the fourth-level team. The first team to be selected was France, and they entered the A4 position. After that, Greece entered the B4 position. Slovenia entered the C4 position and Serbia entered the D3 position. The fifth team to be drawn was Denmark, which entered the E2 position, while Slovakia entered the F4 position. Finally, Portugal entered the G4 position, while Switzerland entered the H2 position, and G formed the group of death.
The draw for the top 32 of the World Cup was held at the International Conference Center in Cape Town, South Africa. The final draw was announced, and the Brazilian team was divided into Group G. The opponents in the same group were China Hong Kong, IotedivIvoire and Portugal. This means that the biggest highlight of the group stage is the collision between the four stars Li Yu, Kaka, C Ronaldo and Drogba in Group G. Mr. Kaka, Ronaldo C and Mr. Li Yu fight with each other, and the value of Drogba's existence will also be very subtle.
Kaka is the winner of the 2007 Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer of the Year, C Ronaldo won the above-mentioned grand prize in 2008, and Li Yu is the winner of the 2009 Golden Globe Award, with three consecutive years of continuous outbreaks. The three of them are considered to be the best football stars in football.
In the past few years, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo have had many direct collisions. In the Champions League knockout match of the 2004-05 season, Kaka led AC Milan and beat Manchester United 1-0 in both rounds. At that time, Kaka, who first came to AC Milan, defeated the underdeveloped Cristiano Ronaldo. In the 06-07 season, the two teams met again in the Champions League. Although Cristiano Ronaldo helped Manchester United narrowly beat AC Milan 3-2 in the first leg, Kaka helped AC Milan beat Manchester United 3-0 away and eliminated the opponent again. In the two rounds of the 06-07 season, Cristiano Ronaldo scored only one goal, but Kaka scored two goals. Obviously, Kaka's performance surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the national team, Brazil and Portugal have also met twice in recent years. In February 2007, Portugal defeated Brazil 2-0 in London. At that time, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo started the game. In November 2008, the two teams played another game in Brazil. Kaka assisted twice to help Brazil defeat Portugal 6-2, and Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was relatively sluggish. It can be seen that whether at the club level or on the national team battlefield, Kaka can always win when he meets Cristiano Ronaldo. This time on the World Cup battlefield, the two teams met again, and Cristiano Ronaldo obviously dreamed of revenge.
Of course, it must be pointed out that according to the schedule, the battle between Brazil and Portugal is the last battle of Group G. If the two teams have qualified ahead of schedule before the war, then this last battle will lack the taste of a "life-and-death battle". However, if the situation of this group is stalemate and the two teams cannot be qualified by the last round, the weight of this battle will undoubtedly be much greater. Therefore, Drogba's team in theIvoire will also play a vital role.
Li Yu's World Cup trip will be very exciting. In such a powerful group, the only thing that the Huaxia Hong Kong team can do is probably only the head coach and Li Yu, but please don't forget that they advanced to the World Cup with the first place in Group B in Asia. Many professionals also have to admit that Asian football represented by South Korea and Japan has qualified to enter the top 16, so what about the Chinese Hong Kong team?
The media is not optimistic about the future of Huaxia Hong Kong. It all comes from the results of the group. This group is all the top 8, and it is natural that even two teams have reached the finals. Huaxia Hong Kong has become the best choice for scoring in the eyes of all opponents.
According to the schedule, Brazil played against China Hong Kong for the first time and Idyva in the second game.
Portugal played in the first game against Io d'Ivoire and China Hong Kong in the second game. Huaxia Hong Kong is not favored at all, so the task of "sniping" Kaka Cristiano Ronaldo mainly falls on Cote d'Ivoire. If Drogba can lead the team to cause trouble for Brazil and Portugal, then the final battle between Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo will become a life-and-death battle.
Of course, even if the Brazilian and Portuguese teams have made sure to qualify early when they meet in the last round, the confrontation between the two teams will be particularly critical. Because according to the schedule, the qualifying team in Group G will play the first round of the knockout with the qualifying team in Group H, and Group H has a strong Spain. Obviously, Brazil and Portugal do not want to touch Spain in the first round of the rematch, so Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo will still do their best to compete for the next.
The collision between Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo will be the best match in the group stage. Between the two Mr. Golden Balls and the two popular winning teams, there is also a stirring of the world's top "Warcraft" Drogba. While the Chinese people lament the difficult fate of our neighbor North Korea, they are bound to pay attention to every round of this group's competition. Isn't this the kind of World Cup war we are dreaming of?
The Huaxia Hong Kong team was automatically ignored in Group G by media other than Huaxia. Li Yu found that he was also ignored. Good, very good. Let the world see what a dark horse is. Not only Li Yu, but also the whole team feels like this, especially those naturalized players from Brazil, which are not valued in China. The object now has the opportunity to prove himself in front of the Brazilian team, which is better than the previous fighting spirit. There is no need for Erikson to mobilize at all!
In contrast, England, among England's three opponents, the United States is the strongest. They are not only regular visitors to the World Cup, but also reached the final in this year's Confederations Cup. In the semi-finals, it was they who broke the myth of 35 unbeaten games in Spain's international competition.
When it comes to the United States, the English may remember the embarrassing scene in the 1950 World Cup: as the originator of modern football, England, which made its debut in the World Cup, faced the United States. As a result, they lost 0-1. When British reporters saw the press release, their first reaction was the printer. There was a mistake, so the score was changed to 10-1 without authorization, resulting in the biggest joke in the history of the World Cup.
In addition to that defeat, the United States also defeated England 2-1 in a warm-up match in 1993. However, in a total of nine encounters between the two sides, England lost these two games and won the remaining seven games. The last time the two teams met was in last year's friendly match. With the goals of Terry and Gerrard, England easily beat the United States 2-0.
For Algeria's opponent, The Times believes that they are the weakest in the group, but Capello and Terry don't think so. Due to the lack of understanding of this African team, Capello is a little worried: "Algeria defeated Egypt, so they are also a dangerous opponent, but I I don't know anything about them. For me, the next most important thing is to watch more videos of Algeria's games.
The match between England and Algeria is the second game of the group stage. Whether England can get the right to pay in advance will be crucial. If they lose Jingzhou due to lack of understanding, England will be more passive in the third game. After all, what they want is the top of the group, and in such a relatively weak group, a complete victory in three games can meet the expectations of the English fans.
Although the group draw results are good, England will suffer from the bumps of the journey in these three games: their first game is in Rustenburg, the second game is in Cape Town, and the third game is in Port Elizabeth. The British media is a little worried about changing three games to play in three places. Although this will not affect England's group qualifying, too many long journeys will definitely deplete the players' physical fitness. In the knockout stage, the physical problems caused by the long journey may be highlighted.
Among the three opponents in the group stage, England has a record of confrontation with the United States and Slovenia, with 9 games and 7 wins against the United States, and Slovenia defeated their opponents 2-1 in the warm-up match in September this year. As long as there is no accident, the Three Lions can't lose points on these two teams. As for the Algeria that Capello and Terry are worried about, although they are very strange to this team now, after all, the World Cup is still more than six months away. England can take advantage of this time to collect Algeria's game information. Coupled with the huge gap in strength between the two sides, I believe that England can also get 3 points from their opponents. Therefore, Sports Life is very optimistic: there is no problem with the top of the group, and England should focus on the final.
The World Cup will be completely different for two Manchester United players, Rooney and Li Yu. It seems that there is no difficulty for England to qualify, but the Chinese Hong Kong team represented by Li Yu has encountered any big trouble. People even associate them with the Chinese national team in 2002. Pessimistic people think they are very good. It's time to swallow zero to end the World Cup journey.
Can the current Huaxia Hong Kong team be compared like this?
Of course not. Can any team have the winner of the European Golden Globe Award? Other teams are also former Golden Globe winners, and the Huaxia Hong Kong team can be proud to say that the number one star in our team is the winner of the Golden Globe Award, and a long list of annotations can be added later, the best player in the Premier League, Jin The boot winner is also the European Golden Boot, the Champions League Golden Boot, and the most valuable player.
Can't the long annotations make people have some confidence?
