Chapter 479 It's all very reluctant
Finally ushered in the last round of championship battle, Manchester United away against Sunderland! Manchester City vs. Park Rangers!
Although Manchester United only won by one goal away! Manchester City relied on Tevez's goal in the final stoppage time to thrill the Park Rangers.
Everything becomes settlement!
Manchester United won the cup for the 21st time, and it was also the first trophy led by Ancelotti to Manchester United!
In this season, Manchester United, which has been eliminated from all other battlefields, finally grabbed the last fig leaf, allowing Manchester United to save face.
However, today's dominance of Manchester United in the Premier League has disappeared, but it is an indisputable fact!
The team's third line, only the attack line is still good, but that is when Manchester United No. 9 Li Yu can play.
The other two lines are no longer luxurious!
If it weren't for the second half of the season, Scholes would have returned to put out the fire in time, and the final league champion would have fallen.
This is not a problem of a single midfielder, but a decline in overall strength. The Mata introduced this season's performance is unsatisfactory. Occasionally, there is a flash point, but it can't continue to output.
To some extent, the attack lineup of Manchester United's midfield is not bad, but the interception ability is declining.
The problem of rear defense is also quite serious, old and young!
This adjective appears on the Premier League hegemon Manchester United, which is somewhat sad!
Is this still the former Manchester United?
In terms of the strength of the three lines, of course not!
Now Manchester United must attract reinforcements, a large-scale reinforcement, a brand-new dynasty, and must have new ministers to assist.
A difficult champion is not a good result. When does Manchester United make people so worried?
The rise of Manchester City cannot be ignored, but many people believe that it is more the decline of Manchester United's own strength.
When did Manchester United stop buying big-name players, but rely on transferring big-name players to maintain the team?
Everything has to wait for the plan for the new season. I hope that the new season will bring a lot of surprises.
This season's Premier League has come to an end. Although they won the championship trophy at the last minute, Manchester United still proved the rich with their actual performance. According to the usual practice, Manchester United held a grand award ceremony after the end of the season to commend the players who have performed well this season. The most eye-catching player at this year's award ceremony is undoubtedly Manchester United's No. 9 core Li Yu.
Li Yu's excellent performance this season is obvious to all. In addition to 34 goals, he has also contributed a staggering 13 assists, only 2 times less than Silva in the first place. Manchester United No. 9 is the best player of the season today. In addition to being voted by the most important global Manchester United fans, Manchester United No. 9 was also elected as the best player of the season voted by the club players and included the team's best goal of the season.
The best team of the season voted by fans will be awarded the "Matt Busby Award", which was founded in 1988 and awarded to the most popular Manchester United player by fans at the end of each season. The first winner is McClel. Valencia is the eighth foreign player to win the award since the establishment of the award. The other seven are Cantona, Van Nisner, Kancherski, Hernandez, Vidic, Heinze and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I'm very happy to win 3 awards," Li Yu has stood on the podium for the third time today. Before that, he also received two awards for the best of the season and the best goal of the season. "There should have been 20 awards, because each of my teammates Dedeed to be one, I want to thank them, and I also want to thank my fans, whether they are in the UK or other parts of the world.
Li Yu won 57% of the votes of the fans, followed by Mata. The Magic Boy got 24% of the votes. Scholes ranked third, and he got 12% of the votes. In the selection of the best goal of the season, Li Yu defeated Blackburn's foot 2-0 at Manchester United on April 2, 2012. The shocking goal was selected as the best of the season. 19-year-old Michael Keane won the title of best player in the reserve team, winning a total of 60% of the votes. Matz Dali, a 17-year-old supernova from Norway, won the title of Young Player of the Year.
The Premier League has come to an end, and there is also a Premier League team that has not completed all the tasks of this season. Then Chelsea, who will change coach in the middle of this season!
After the thrilling elimination of Barcelona in the two-round semi-finals, the fans have reason to believe that Chelsea will also work miracles in the final.
Before the game, because of the lack of young generals, he was not optimistic at all, and laughed to the end in the Champions League final, which was an "alcombat away game". The efforts of all Chelsea players were admirable.
In this game, "Warcraft" Drogba is the first contributor. With his bravery, he turned a difficult "outside game" into his own exhibition game, and naturally became the best player in this game and accepted the worship of all the Blues fans. In addition to Drogba, under the gaze of hundreds of millions of people, people were surprised to see again that the "Silver Ball Award" winner of Messi at the 2005 World Youth Championship, came back.
Although the Ghanaian "Big Buffalo" Essien, who will play the main midfielder as long as he is healthy, has recovered from his injury and is in excellent condition in the pre-match training, the head coach still chose the same excellent Nigerian Mikkel. Judging from Mikkel's performance in the whole game, if Drogba dominated the whole game, Mikkel used his skillful performance to limit Bayern Munich's attack to the greatest extent.
In the game, Mikel was placed in the back position by the head coach. Mikel, who was 1.90 meters tall and strong, became an impenetrable "iron wall" in front of two not very reliable central defenders: in the face of tall and strong players like Gomez and Mueller, Mikel resisted with a stronger body than them. In the face of Ribery and Robben's dexterous wandering, Meeker's technology and speed can also keep up. Therefore, as long as the ball reaches Mikkel's defensive range, he will basically get it very steadily. It can be said that he completely with his own efforts to withstand the impact of Bayern Munich in the arc top area of the penalty area for almost 120 minutes.
While completing the defense, as long as he receives a teammate's relief or pass, Mikkel will complete the forward delivery well, which is Mikkel's second biggest task in this game.
Because his team is too backward and there are few points to play in the front court, Mikkel can only use his strong body to control the ball, and then wait for his teammates to plug in before completing the pass, ensuring that the team does not become blindly defending because of the implementation of the defensive strategy. This is only a limited opportunity to counterattack. For Chelsea, it is crucial.
So that in the game, there is often a picture of Meeker protecting the ball with his strong body and flexible technology, and there will be 3-4 players in the front court of Bayern Munich to grab the ball under his feet. After the game, Sky Sports scored 6 points for Mickel, and we can only think that they are used to such a strong performance for Mickel. In the score in the fan zone, Mickel scored 8.1 points, second only to Drogba and Ashley Cole.
As a dazzling technical midfielder in the 2005 World Youth Championship, Mikkel was gradually transformed into a defensive midfielder after being signed by Mourinho, but because of the presence of another "beast waist" Essien in the team, it has been difficult to get a chance to shine for many years.
However, even if he plays football in a position he is not used to, Mikkel still relies on his strong technical foundation and football talent to continue to grow. In the last two seasons, because of Essien's injury, Mikkel has become the team's main midfielder, but because the use of the new coach Boas at the beginning of this season has not been successful, Mikkel has been used as a substitute most of the time, and the most obvious change he has made to the team since he took office is to let Mikkel start, and Almost 90 minutes in the game.
In addition, it seems that the veteran Mikkel has just passed his 25th birthday. If nothing unexpected happens, Mikkel will provide strong support for the Blues midfielders in the next six or seven years. At the beginning of the season, Mikkel under Boas lost his motivation for a while. Even Romeu couldn't compete, and even went to the edge of leaving the team. However, his strong performance under Di Matteo at the end of the season will obviously make Chelsea re-evaluate his value and sell it? It's impossible now.
In addition, before the game, many British media predicted that Di Matteo would make a dangerous move and arranged Bertrand, a young player who had no experience in the Champions League, to be the starting left-back, which made many fans feel incredible. The young player, who had only played as a substitute in the league before, proved through this battle that the bishop Practicing this trick is not a dangerous move, but a wise move.
Bertrand is only 22 years old this year. This season, he only got seven league appearances when the main left-back Ashley Cole rested, and has always played as a left-back.
In this game, Di Matteo nominally arranged Bertrand to be the left forward, but in fact he was arranged to act as Ashley Cole's "deputy" to help him complete the left defense, and this move did work. In the game, as the starting right winger Robben, who has the most individual assault ability in Bayern's formation and can pass and shoot, he did not take any advantage of Bertrand from the beginning. After playing for a while, he began to look for opportunities in the middle and left. It was not until Bertrand's end that he focused on his mastery. On the right side, it can be seen that the defense of Bertrand and Ashley Cole makes Robben almost useless.
Moreover, as a left-back, Bertrand also blocked Robben's two strong shots in the 18th and 68th minutes. He will definitely be praised by Di Matteo after the game. In addition, Bertrand has also become the first player to make his Champions League debut in the final, which will certainly be remembered by history.
In addition, due to the suspension of the main right-back Ivanovic, Bosinva has once again become the main right gate, and the area he guards has always been in the wind.
Less than 8 minutes after the start of the game, Di Matteo on the side saw that Bosinva's defense was a little difficult, and shouted at him twice in a row, reminding him to pay attention to the defense of Ribery.
And that's it. It was Ribery who leaned on his back in the 21st minute and left the ball to Robben who slipped past him, forming an opportunity to face the goal. Fortunately, Cech blocked it with his legs. In the 32nd minute, when he was defending Ribery, he kicked him down directly behind him. Fortunately, the referee was merciful. As for Carau, who got the starting right-back, he was almost mediocre in the game. The only chance to be on camera wasted an excellent shot in the penalty area in the 37th minute, making the calm Di Matteo scratch his head, far less than that of Torres, who replaced him.
Many years later, we can still clearly recall the gray and rainy night in Moscow, Terry, who held the key to kill, slipped and ruined the winning Chelsea.
Terry at that time, 28 years old, Lampard and Drogba at that time, had just entered the 30-year-old mark. After four years of waiting, although the veterans were still powerful and could still bring joy to Stamford Bridge fans, the passage of time has actually worn out too much courage and strength. This year's Chelsea League record is It is proof, but the Champions League is still the old man's paradise. Nine of the players who participated in the decisive battle in Moscow that year entered the list of today's competition. Six started. The players under the age of 30 are only 85 years old Kalau and 87 years old Mickel. The others are already standing. The large-scale personnel rotation of the club It must be done.
But such an old boy club brings the greatest shock and happiness to the fans tonight!
Previously, the 16-to-8 UEFA Champions League reversed Naples, which was the most unexpected gift given to the fans by the three elders. Drogba, Terry and Lampard, together with the 100-year-old old guns, scored three gold-like goals to greet all the blue-blooded fans: the fighting spirit is still there, the spirit is always there, and the ability is undiminished! The two battles against Barcelona are still the core force of this group of old guys. The two rounds of the "cosmic team" simply refers to the attack!
Today, although Terry can only watch the game from the sidelines, the team's soul conveys his strength in the dark. Although Lampard is suppressed and can't hit the front court at all, his defense is as effective as against Barcelona. Although Drogba only had the first goal in the game, it is a world wave that can turn the world around. ! 30-year-old Cech, 32-year-old Akol and so on, continue to fight when they come, and there must be a "steady" performance of bravery.
This is the extraordinary power of the "old guy", whether on or off the court. Maybe they can't give you shocking brilliant data throughout the whole season as before, but they can slowly turn their disadvantages into their own advantages in a stressful event, relying on their solid skills, stable performance and same belief.
Just as Lampard and Drogba performed in the penalty shootout, either a brave burst or a dexterous push shot, making the once brave Neuer completely puzzled.
Who said that the penalty is not a reflection of strength?
A bold and tricky shot, the person who is about to be 35 years old performs better than a group of younger brothers! And when you see Drogba's tearful running after winning the championship, Lampard and Terry hold up the championship that was so close and out of reach for them at the same time. Have you ever had the impulse to cry?!
9 years! The dream has come true! Where were you and what were you doing when Abu first came 9 years ago?
Time passed in such a hurry, but the blue-blooded man's pursuit of honor never stopped. Change the time and space, change the mood, recall the group of Chelsea people who were young, compared with these persistent and long-cherished veterans in front of you, you will sincerely shout: We are willing to accompany you to pursue your dreams and grow old!
Once upon a time, Lampard, Terry and Joe Cole were so green and cute. Almost all of them became famous at a young age. Relying on their talent and talent, they entered the top league without pressure and stood on their feet. However, in a rich club, it is impossible to hold the top salary of professional football players without any pressure. The championship is the goal they must achieve, but although they have won so many championships for Chelsea, they only lack the Grand Ear Cup of the Champions League.
Starting from Abu's 2003 season, Chelsea stopped in the top four in 0304 season, the top four in the 0405 season, the top 16 in the 0506 season, the last four in the 0607 season, the final in the 0 0808 season, the fourth quarterfinals in the 0809 season, and the 0910 season. Step in the top 16, stop in the top 8 in the 1011 season, so many stops and stops. In countless disappointments, Drogba's total number of goals in the Champions League can reach the top ten of the leaderboard, but the championship goal that really belongs to him has not come once.
Not to mention that athletes who once looked so bad have become vicissitudes, Abramovich, who was once so ambitious and prosperous, has signs of aging.
Well, there is no regrets. No matter where Drogba and Lampard, or other veterans' next foothold, they have completed the final mission assigned to them by Chelsea Club.
Just as Drogba greeted with deep applause after the last game of the league, these lovely and respectable veterans can smile with satisfaction, full of pride and satisfaction, whistle, rub shoulders with the youth behind them laughing around them, and set off to the next hard-working destination alone. . After all, after the end of their professional football career, they have only taken a half of their life.
All the regrets and depression were all released tonight. The veteran's silent persistence and dedication finally won the highest honor of carving the word Chelsea Club on the championship trophy. What better and more realistic inspirational textbook is there? What they interpreted vividly was originally just a plot outlined in Hollywood movies: at the last moment when they were about to enter their professional life, they burst into the most brilliant sparks!
