Chapter 430 Low-key Li Yu
The final of the 10-11 UEFA Champions League season is about to start at Wembley Stadium in London. As the last training course before this fierce battle, Manchester United's American boss Brian Glazer also went to Wembley yesterday in British local time to watch the training of the Red Devils to give guidance, encouragement and Pity.
At yesterday's Manchester United training site, Glazer and his son and other senior officials expressed cordial condolences to the Manchester United players and Ferguson coach who were training, and shook hands with major players such as Li Yu and Rooney. The Sun said that it was clear that the Glazer family attached great importance to competing for the fifth Champions League trophy in the club's history.
It is true that the confrontation between Manchester United and Barcelona has attracted the attention of the whole world. However, just as people are focusing on Messi, the offensive core of Barcelona, the Welsh coach, the legendary Gary Spede, believes that the key to this game is not the king of Argentina, Manchester United's current biography. Qi No. 9 is." Li Yu has always been at the peak and top, and she can no longer see any immatureness in him. Every time at a critical moment, you can come forward to save the team. It can be said that Manchester United No. 9 is the top player for the big scene. I'm glad that Manchester United has such a player!" Sped said so.
"Of course, this is not the first conversation between Li Yu and Messi. Li Yu is so excellent. Of course, Messi is also so excellent. His performance on the field has been so different in the past two or three years. He can even lead Barcelona in the next decade and an era. However, compared with Messi, what Manchester United's No. 9 legend Li Yu has done is more incredible. He seems to be born to break the record. Having tireless on the field, he alone is enough to change the course of the whole game!"
Manchester United coach Ferguson believes that the Red Devils have reached the Champions League final four times in four years, which proves the progress of Manchester United in the past 10 years. Although this Manchester United lacks Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson believes that his Manchester United strength has improved.
At the pre-match press conference, Ferguson said, "The greatest quality of this Manchester United is maturity. You can take a look at our record in Europe this year, which is quite good. We found a good way to play in Europe. For many years, we were out early and did not make it to the finals, but in general, our continuity was not bad. We can play in the Champions League every season, which helps us a lot. Since 1999, we have made great progress. Since then, what we have done in Europe has been very continuous. Li Yu is now more mature in the European competition, and he is more mature than in 2009. The other players are the same. They are really mature. The experience of Vidic and Ferdinand is extremely important to us.
There is no doubt about the attraction of two great clubs with a great history. Both teams have achieved great success in the past 10 years. As far as the possible scenes of this game are concerned, this is a very attractive game, and everything is possible. There may be a lot of goals, a lot of exciting shots, and a lot of good passing. This may be the best Champions League final in the past decade.
And before the game, Rooney praised his front-line partner Li Yu. Li Yu is completely unbelievable. He has scored a lot of goals. I won't be surprised if he scores a goal in the Champions League final. Since he joined Manchester United, his training has been very hard, which has consolidated his position in the team. Li Yu is a very friendly person. He always has a smile on his face. He will have a greater future.
Manchester United and Barcelona will play in the UEFA Champions League in Wembley. The Sun revealed that Ferguson will choose Manchester United to beat Schalke 2-0 in the first leg of the semi-finals to fight against Barcelona. This also means that Nani, the Premier League assist king this season, will not be able to play against Barcelona as the main force.
The three lines of Manchester United, the most stable is the back line. The defense line composed of van der Sar, Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra has been formed. Although Nanigui is the best player of the season selected as a Manchester United player this season, his recent condition is obviously not as good as Valencia, and the Ecuadorian's defensive ability is not what Nani has.
In the second half of this season, Carrick was in excellent form, which put him in front of veteran Scholes, the unstable Anderson and Fletcher, who has not yet recovered from injury.
Although some things off the field affected Giggs' mood, Ferguson decided to let Giggs start the game against Barcelona.
In the two rounds of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea and the first leg of the semi-finals, Giggs played extremely bravely. In the position of the left forward, Park Ji-sung, who has been in good condition recently, will get the opportunity to start. What the Lord vouchs very much is his round-trip running ability and the ability to fight on the sidelines, hoping that he can contain Messi's side attack.
On the forward line, Ferguson obviously trusts Manchester United No. 9 more than this season's strange soldier Fernandez, and Li Yu's partner will be Rooney.
In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals this season, after Manchester United beat Schalke 04 2-0 away, Sir Ferguson said excitedly, "Manchester United has had a lot of excellent performances in Europe, but I think this game is undoubtedly one of Manchester United's best performances in Europe."
According to the Daily Mirror, it seems that Fletcher, Brown, Owen and Gibson are likely to miss the 18-man Champions League final. According to the newspaper, Fletcher may miss the Champions League final for the third time.
Fletcher did not get a chance to play in the UEFA Champions League finals in the 07-08 season; Fletcher was unable to play in the Champions League finals in the 08-09 season due to suspension; Fletcher may not be able to play in the Champions League finals this Saturday night because he is in poor condition. Owen, who has been eager to play as a substitute in the Champions League final, played 65 minutes in Gary Neville's farewell game, second only to Brown, who played the whole game, and O'Shea, who also played 65 minutes, are the three players with the most time at Manchester United. Except for O'Shea, it is difficult for Owen and Brown to squeeze into Manchester. The list of 18 people in the Union.
At the end of the league, Manchester United defeated Blackpool 4-2, and Fletcher played the whole game.
Ferguson intended to give him some more play time in Gary Neville's farewell game to recover as soon as possible, but Fletcher didn't get a chance to play. Sources familiar with the matter told the Daily Mirror that Fletcher did not get a chance to play in Gary Neville's farewell, which meant that the 27-year-old Scot lost the last chance to impress Ferguson before the Champions League final. After Fletcher's comeback from a two-month struggle against the serious virus, his weight has dropped sharply, and his state has declined seriously.
Fletcher himself said, "This is not something I can decide. All you can do is go all out. The teammates have done a very good job, so the coach has a lot of decisions to do. Manchester United assistant Ferran hinted that Fletcher might not be able to reach the Champions League final. Darren has had a difficult time. It's not easy to come back after such a long absence.
Comparing Barcelona and Manchester United before the Champions League final is as interesting as asking which protagonist in Jin Yong's novel has the highest martial arts skills. Who wouldn't be in a bad mood when thinking of "Xiao Feng" competing with "Invincible invincible in the East" in New Wembley at midnight on Saturday?
Before the season, I mentioned the three major suspenses of this year's Champions League: Mourinho's goal of becoming the first in history to lead three different clubs to dominate the Champions League this season? Last season's semi-finals were eliminated by Inter Milan, which played the best in anti-counter tactics. Who can stop Barcelona with stronger "frontal" this time? As in Inter, the second year of the "Magic Bird" team is the most terrible. Real Madrid's tradition is intentionally or unintentionally resisting the destructive tactics of the Portuguese. After the sports director Bardano left, he was able to show his best to find another shortcut.
Those who agree with Barcelona's strongest are undoubtedly shocked by their four dark fierce fights with Real Madrid in the middle of last month, and are impressed by Messi, who is omnipotent and has scored 52 goals in 54 games this season. They have achieved three consecutive championships in La Liga, which is not comparable to different leagues. Manchester United almost won the championship last season and achieved an unprecedented five consecutive championships this year. Some people may laugh at the Red Devils' poor away performance in the Premier League this season, but in the Champions League away game, except for the 0-0 draw with Marseille in the top 16, they won all five games with a perfect record of not losing goals, becoming the first team in a single season with no goals in six away games since the restructuring of the Champions League! And Barcelona was also blocked by Rubin Kazan and lost to Arsenal in North London.
It is certain that the two teams are the most stable "super first-class master" in the European giants in the past four years. The fans should be glad that they did not meet too early. The good show was reserved for the 2008 semi-finals, the 2009 finals and this time.
The main reason behind their respective successes is continuity. Manchester United's huge wealth is that of Lord Fu, who has been ambitious for 25 years, just like "Master Dharma", which generalizes corruption into a legend. Barcelona has a "clean wind" Cruyff, sticking to the "technical flow" from youth training to actual combat. The current routine is more and more perfect from the entry of Ricard in 2003 to Guardiola. It was eliminated by Manchester United in the semi-finals in 2008, more because the team was in the core transition period from Ronaldinho to Messi.
To be fair, it should be Chelsea who appeared in the 2009 finals. No one can forgive the referee Henning's bad performance at Stamford Bridge, which was a night that made football ashamed.
But the details of Rome's battle determined the fate. Lord Ferguer put Tevez on the bench to bet on Cristiano Ronaldo. The ecstatic floating ball. When Valdes got out of his hand, Pike stopped Park Zhixing from breaking the stone and piercing the gold. Guardiola has been lingering from this so far. He never thought that the other end of Eto Ao Lingbo had achieved a great shift in the universe.
Compared with two years ago, Barcelona's skills have increased, and Abidal's magical recovery has also solved the troubles of the left-back. Mascherano has gradually entered a better situation since the middle of the season. As Ronald Koeman, a former member of the "Dream Team" said: their strikers and midfielders have strong pressure on their opponents, and sometimes the defenders are more creative. Not defense. It's annoying enough to keep an eye on Messi, Villa, Pedro and Iniesta. God knows when Alves will give you another kick. Worried that Messi, who has never scored in England, is too tired? The last time he appeared in the game was as a substitute in the draw with Levante on May 11.
In the 2008-09 season, Van der Sarsau won the world record of not losing a goal in 1311 minutes. Even if the personnel remain unchanged, the defensive confidence and stability of Manchester United are not as good as in those years.
Lord Frederick was suspended when he was defeated by Rome. Now the Scotsman will almost certainly start with Carrick and Park Ji-sung, but it also brings another trouble: how to arrange Giggs and Hernandez?
"Wang Laoji" in the disturbance should be brave. The top 8 games, assists and goals in the semi-finals also prove that his elegant and flying left foot can best crack the sword array of all factions. But Valencia, which replaces Nani's more important, can use speed to attack the empty space left by the opponent's full-back assists, and Rooney and Li Yu are even more powerful!
The Lord must make the final decision with a few sleepless nights. It can be said that in terms of the winning rate, Barcelona accounts for 52%. However, the contingency factor of a final is far from underestimated. Thinking of the classic game of Camp Nou in 1999, Manchester United, who was absent from Keane and Scholes, made a legend in stoppage time. It can be said that whether this mountain is the highest in the world, or whether there is another high place higher than the sky!
Arsenal captain Fabregas ran to explain to Barcelona the tactics of restraining Manchester United before the Champions League final, and his successor Wilshere was not idle. The core of England's future also gave Manchester United a move today. Wilshere said bluntly that Manchester United's defeat of Barcelona is much bigger than Arsenal.
"Barbasa is just good at triangular transmission. They will penetrate your defense line. Therefore, we must have a hand-to-hand fight with them. You have to stop players like Harvey, Messi and Iniesta, because they can kill you. I will choose Fletcher to play in the midfield, and he is surrounded by Carrick and Giggs. Fletcher only needs to run all over the field. It's great for Manchester United to have a player like Fletcher and take good care of their opponents.
"If you can force them close to you and wait until their physical strength declines in the second half, you will have a chance. Manchester United has a better chance of winning against Barcelona than us. They have players like Park Ji-sung and Valencia who are active, and they can stop Barcelona. Manchester United should send Rooney and let Valencia and Park Ji-sung be behind them. But most of the time, they will defend, because Barcelona can always force you to do so. Messi is the best player in the world, so you have to pay attention. Manchester United players must remind each other that if they do this, Messi will be restrained. If you give him time to rush, he can kill you.
"Of course, Li Yu in Manchester United is also a headache for his opponents. As many people have seen, the cunning Ferguson always puts Rooney in front of public opinion, and the real trump card Li Yu is rarely popular. This is Ferguson's consistent strategy. Manchester United is entering the era of Li Yu!"
Two years ago, Manchester United defeated Barcelona in the Champions League final. Although they won the championship, Cristiano Ronaldo complained after the game that "the tactics were unreasonable, which made everyone confused". After "analyzing many times" the video of the final two years ago, Ferguson said that he had understood the reason.
Ferguson noticed that Barcelona rarely rotates this season, and their main players have played many games this season. In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League final, which lost 1-2 to Arsenal, Barcelona's players suffered a serious decline in physical strength in the last 20 minutes, which made Ferguson feel that he could take advantage of it.
In the past two weeks, Ferguson has been practicing the lineup. He let Nani play Messi, Owen play Villa, and Scors play Iniesta. The purpose is to let the main players find the feeling of playing Barcelona as soon as possible, and the starting 11 players have almost no suspense. . The goalkeeper van der Sar, the defense line is from right to left are Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra; the forward line is from right to left, Valencia, Carrick, Giggs and Park Ji-sung, and the forward line is Rooney and Li Yu.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Ferguson arranged two sets of tactics. Once Manchester United falls behind, they will change the 442 to the 343 full attack formation. That is to say, if Manchester United lags behind in the game, Ferguson will decisively withdraw Park Ji-sung and replace Smarin to 343. Evra and Fabio on the back line will be premised on the position of full-back respectively, and correspondingly, Valencia will assume the position of the right winger, Rooney will move to the position of the left wing, and Li Yu will be the center forward.
The media has revealed everything that can be thought of, and people can clearly see the recent situation of the two final teams.
There are both good and bad. The media's analysis is also helping the teams they support, which also disrupts the deployment of the two teams to varying degrees.
There are no secrets in the final. The real strong can only think of holding the Big Ear Cup in the end.
Another duel between Li Yu and Messi has also attracted the attention of Chinese fans. Of course, domestic fans support Li Yu. In their opinion, Messi is not Li Yu's opponent at all. Anyway, Messi is a star player who relies on Barcelona as a whole. If he leaves the Barcelona system, what will he play? I know.
However, Li Yu is different. No matter where she is, Li Yu can always play to the right level, and the performance of the two people at the national team level is the final proof.
Speaking of the two clubs, Chinese fans also prefer Manchester United. The scarlet letter Red Devil is more in line with the aesthetics of Chinese fans. Coupled with the existence of Li Yu, the influence of Manchester United Club in China is absolutely the first, and there is no comparison with other clubs at all. In China Manchester United Club is undoubtedly a dominant one. !
The final is about to be staged, and now the whole world is waiting for the final answer!
