Neither of these two teams can pose any threat to Manchester United.

All Manchester United fans and player staff are starting to prepare for the final championship.However, Alex Ferguson is very cautious at this time, he knows that this time is very important for Manchester United, not only under the double pressure of the Champions League and the league, Manchester United cannot make a mistake!
After the game against Arsenal, Manchester United ushered in another very important game at home, that is, against Schalke [-] at home.In the away game, Manchester United led the Schalke [-] team [-]:[-].

Manchester United has entered the Champions League final.

At this time, Alex Ferguson replaced the three generals Xu Zhou, Rooney and Sneijder to prepare for the league match against Chelsea on the weekend. As long as Manchester United draws in this league, Manchester United will be able to win the league championship.For this game, the Manchester United team was very nervous and prepared nervously.

Seeing that Manchester United was about to win the championship again, Chelsea was very unhappy, especially Carlo Ancelotti, he couldn't see Alex Ferguson winning the championship, he wanted to try his best to stop Manchester United, he immediately stood up and said that he would desperately stop Manchester United, he encouraged Arsenal, told Arsenal not to give up, and worked hard for the championship!

This time all the pressure was on Manchester United's side. Xu Zhou of Manchester United immediately stood up and said that even if Chelsea tried their best to block Manchester United, Manchester United could still win the championship.Chelsea and Manchester United were on the bar all of a sudden, and all Manchester United fans became nervous.

However, at this time, Arsenal did not withstand the pressure and lost to Stoke City with a score of [-]:[-] in the away game. Now Manchester United has won the championship. Arsenal automatically withdrew from the competition for the league title and handed over the league title to Manchester United.

Although the championship is already in Manchester United's pocket, the Chelsea people still can't understand Manchester United. They will not be happy if they want to win the championship.

However, who would have thought that the Chelsea people still did not cause any trouble to the Manchester United team. Xu Zhou scored twice in the first half of the game, helping Manchester United beat Chelsea [-]:[-] at home, and happily won the league championship!

After winning the championship, Manchester United played all substitutes in the last two rounds, but Manchester United still won all games. It is well-deserved to win this championship!

After this game, there is only one most important game for Manchester United now, and that is Manchester United's Champions League final against Barcelona.In another UEFA Champions League semi-final, in the Spanish national derby, Real Madrid and Barcelona became [-]:[-]!In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid with a total score of [-]:[-] and advanced to the final.

Now, the Champions League final is Barcelona vs. Manchester United. This is a replica of the [-] Champions League final!

The 2010-11 UEFA Champions League final will be played at the New Wembley Stadium in London. La Liga champion Barcelona and Premier League overlord Manchester United will compete for the European crown.As the finale of European football this season, this game will naturally attract the attention of fans all over the world. Both teams are top European giants and have countless fans all over the world. Before that, both Barcelona and Manchester United have won the honor of the league championship. Whoever wins the Champions League trophy will become the new double champion of European football.
Ferguson is 70 years old, representing the past and present, and the future still seems to be closely related to football; Guardiola is 40 years old, a representative of a modern image, a precocious coach on the coaching bench.In this Champions League final, Ferguson and Guardiola will meet for the second time on the sidelines. In the eyes of many people, this contest actually means the transfer of power between the two generations of coaches. Ferguson has created an era, and Guardiola seems to be born to create an era.In the past two years, the news that Guardiola will enter Old Trafford to succeed Ferguson has not stopped spreading.
Before the UEFA Champions League final held in Rome two years ago, many people believed that Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who coached the adult team for the first year, would be completely defeated in front of "Old Fox" Ferguson.However, it turned out that Barcelona beat Manchester United 2-0 and Guardiola clinched the Treble in his first season in charge.After that final, an interesting scene happened. After the final whistle was blown at home, Guardiola celebrated wildly with his coaches and players, but he suddenly remembered that he should express comfort to the senior coach Ferguson.But before Guardiola took any action, Ferguson had already walked over, and Gua Shuai insisted on approaching the Scottish coach to express his respect for the latter.The two sides shook hands and had a dialogue. Ferguson expressed his acceptance of the defeat, and Guashuai expressed comfort to the old coach.Then Ferguson walked to the locker room, while Guashuai stayed on the lawn to continue celebrating.
Two years later, Guardiola's coaching experience has been further enriched, especially the experience of failure.The lessons learned from losing to Mourinho in last year's Champions League semi-final and this year's Copa del Rey final undoubtedly helped Guardiola a lot. His adjustment and adaptability were tested. In the Champions League semi-final after the King's Cup, he eliminated Mourinho's Real Madrid 3-1 in two rounds, reached the Champions League final for the second time in three years, and faced Ferguson again.The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, Guardiola VS Ferguson, this will be a contest between genius and experience, this is another charge of the new generation of coaches against the old generation of coaches.
Guardiola has basically finalized the starting lineup against Manchester United in the Champions League final, and now the only suspense is the choice of two players in the defense: Mascherano and Abidal.If Mascherano starts at centre-back, Puyol will play at left-back; and if Abidal starts, Puyol will play at centre-back, with Mascherano on the bench.The reason why Guardiola hesitated between Mascherano and Abidal was mainly because both players were deeply trusted by him.Abidal proved to be fully recovered from liver surgery and Mascherano was above reproach at centre-back in Puyol's absence.In addition to these two players, other positions have been selected, the goalkeeper is Valdes, right back Alves, right center back Pique, midfielder Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, forwards Messi, Villa, Pedro.However, according to the latest report from "Marca", Guardiola has decided to let Mascherano, who is in better physical condition, start.
It is reported that Guardiola spent two days studying the final in 2009, and he did not dare to take Manchester United lightly.Guardiola was most impressed by a detail of that game. This detail was not the goal of Eto'o and Messi, but the scene where Ronaldo's shot was saved by Valdes, and Pique made a clearance before Park Ji-sung, who made a supplementary shot.In the past few days of preparations, Gua Shuai intends to use this picture to teach his players not to be careless.Guashuai also said modestly: "When we participated in a Champions League final against Manchester United in England, we could never be the favorites. They have participated in 4 finals in 3 years. It would be a bit arrogant if we thought we were the favorites."
In 1992, Barcelona won the last Champions League final held at the old Wembley Stadium, and the Red and Blues began to create an era; in 2011, Barcelona looked forward to winning again in the first UEFA Champions League final held at the rebuilt New Wembley Stadium, thus continuing a period of glory.Some experts pointed out that Barcelona and Manchester United are not only a championship battle, but also a dynastic battle, because these are the two teams that have been at their peak for the longest, most stable and have won the most honors since the beginning of the 21st century.Whether Barcelona or Manchester United had the last laugh, they all deserved the supreme honor of "dynasty" while lifting the trophy.
"Marca" stated that Harvey's generation is expected to be like the "Beckenbauer generation", no matter at the club or national team level, they will rule football.Harvey has already won the European Cup and the World Cup, and has also won two Champions League trophies. If he wins the Champions League trophy again, he will become one of the players who have won the most top honors in the history of European football.
Expected Barcelona starting lineup: Valdes/Alves, Mascherano, Pique, Puyol/Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta/Pedro, Messi, Villa
At this time, the outside media are now paying attention to how the Manchester United team is deployed. Ferguson's Manchester United final is 442 or 451?

Before this battle, Ferguson spoke cautiously and did not express too many opinions to the outside world, but only briefly recalled the defeat two years ago.Ferguson said: "I think Barcelona has improved compared to 2. They are now playing more maturely. When we lost the first goal, the team's concentration collapsed instantly. Therefore, this time we must keep our energy on the court. Don't take it lightly on both ends of the offense and defense. This is the key to our victory."

Perhaps it was the unforgettable game two years ago that made Ferguson so cautious.In that game, only 2 minutes into the game, Manchester United was hit by Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o, and in the second half, the diminutive Messi scored with a header.Compared with 10 years ago, today's Manchester United lacks a superstar of Ronaldo's level, but Rooney's rapid growth makes people hopeful, and Manchester United also has a superstar like Xu Zhou. Manchester United now has a great chance of winning.However, in terms of formation, it really made Alex Ferguson and fans who care about Manchester United sad!
In step with the coach, Manchester United's stars did not show themselves too much in front of the media this time. Only Evra, who has always been outspoken, accepted the interview. Left-back Evra, who played 2 minutes two years ago, is full of fighting spirit for revenge against Barcelona.Evra believes that the defeat in the 90 final was due to overconfidence and even arrogance: "That feeling was bad. I was honest. At the time in Italy I was full of confidence, maybe a little too confident. I wanted to win the championship. Now everyone says that Barcelona is the best team in the world. I respect this fact. But two years ago everyone said that we would easily beat Barcelona in Rome. Maybe this time everything will be the opposite."

In Rome 2 years ago, Manchester United formed a 433 formation, Van der Sar/O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra/Anderson, Carrick, Giggs/Park Ji-sung, Ronaldo, Rooney.If you want to find an excuse for the defeat at that time, you can only say that Fletcher's suspension made Manchester United's defense lose its barrier.This weekend, Manchester United does not have too many non-combat attrition, and they can finish the attack. What kind of lineup will Ferguson send?

According to the well-informed "Sun", Ferguson will choose the starting lineup for Manchester United's 3-1 away victory over Schalke in the first leg of the semi-final, and have a peak match with Barcelona.After defeating Schalke as a guest, Sir Alex Ferguson said excitedly, "Manchester United had many outstanding performances in the European arena, but I think this game is undoubtedly one of Manchester United's best European performances." Undoubtedly, Ferguson was quite satisfied with the lineup for that game.

If you follow the formation of that game, Ferguson will form a 442 formation.Van der Sar/Raphael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra/Xu Zhou, Sneijder, Fletcher, Nani/Rooney, Hernandez.

442 or 451?This is also the biggest variable in Manchester United's lineup.Ferguson said before the game: "We have faced Barcelona with Messi three times. Any good player in the world has a way to deal with him."

How to block Messi, Mourinho's Inter Milan once gave Ferguson an inspiration, using the fast Evra to chase, relying on the active Park Ji-sung to block, I am afraid that is one of Ferguson's good plans to freeze Messi.In the 2009 Rome final, Manchester United chose to face Barcelona and dominated the game in the first 10 minutes, but Vidic's defensive error caused the Red Devils' morale to drain after Eto'o scored.It is very likely that Manchester United will choose to defend and attack this time. This is also the tactic that Inter Milan and Chelsea have played against Barcelona in recent years. Mourinho and Hiddink have both hit Barcelona's seven inches.

The "Cosmic Team" Barcelona is the most gorgeous and sharp top team in world football today, and it is bound to become popular before this game.Manchester United's tactical choice will become the key. If they can hold their breath and make a solid defense before attacking, then Manchester United's chances will be greater than Barcelona's.Just like the story of AC Milan and Liverpool, Milan was sad in the night of Istanbul in 2005, and the Athens final 2 years later succeeded in revenge. Now Manchester United is expected to replicate this legend.
