The most low-key superstar

Chapter 146 Entering the National Team Again

At the last moment, Manchester United drew with Manchester City 2:2 at home with Nicole's free kick.

"Although it's a pity, the players have tried their best, but I have to admit that I can accept such a result in the opposing home court." Eriksson was a little proud, but he seemed very humble.

But Mr. Ferguson was very straightforward, "I am very satisfied with my team's performance, especially in the second half. They proposed the football I wanted. As for not winning, I don't care too much. I can't ask them to win all games. "

When the reporter asked about Carrick's status, Mr. Ferguson was very responsible, "Michael did not perform very well today, but I think it is understandable that he has had a lot of games recently, especially when he just recovered from his injury. I think he can adjust himself."

"And what about Nicole? Are you satisfied?"

"If you are not satisfied with Nickell's performance, then what kind of player do you want? He and other players make me very satisfied." Ferguson's cunning made the reporters speechless.

However, some senior writers didn't think much of it. In The Times, there was an article that was very marketable, "Invincible Manchester United, Weak Front! ", pointing out sharply that after Ruud van Nistelrooy left, Manchester United's striker has dropped a notch. The reason why Manchester United is now at the top of the list and has successfully qualified for the Champions League is because of the stability of the back line and the strength of the midfield. A striker without supplements in winter will be an obstacle The key to United's greater revenge.

The Sun deserves to be an expert in seamlessness, and Capello and his party, which no one paid attention to, were still discovered by them. "The Mysterious Man?" "England coach appeared in disguise at Old Trafford, he watched a wonderful game, I don't know who will attract his attention, Nicole?or who?

However, in the face of reporters' questions, the Italian did not say anything, and did not even admit to going to the stadium to watch the game.

In the 26th round of the Premier League, there was a focus battle. Chelsea fought fiercely with the Red Army Liverpool at Stamford Bridge for 90 minutes. The two sides drew a 0-0 goalless draw.

In terms of starting lineups, most of the stars of both teams were unable to play.Chelsea's top scorer Drogba, midfielder Essien, and first-line stars such as Kalou have all missed the league due to the Africa Cup of Nations. The defensive backbone Terry continues to recuperate, and the striker Sheva is also recuperating.The change worth mentioning is that Lampard returned from injury this round, and he and Ballack formed a "dual core".The Liverpool team also has many generals injured. The top scorer Torres was injured in the national team game, the midfielder Alonso was suspended, and the defenders Aurelio and Agger were all absent due to injuries.Interestingly, striker Crouch got the chance to play.

这是两队历史上的第150场交锋，此前利物浦67胜30平52负占据上风。在双方英超历史的31次交锋中，切尔西14胜6平11负，其中主场11胜3平1负。

In their final game, Arsenal will face Blackburn at the Emirates Stadium.Senderos opened the scoring with a header in the opening 4 minutes, Adebayor added the icing on the cake in stoppage time, and Arsenal ranked second.

After this round, the league is suspended.

In fact, on the 1st yesterday, Capello announced the national team list in due course:
Goalkeepers: James (Portsmouth), Carson (Liverpool/loan to Villa), Kirkland (Wigan Athletic);

Defenders: Bridge (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Curtis Davies (West Brom/loan to Villa), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Glenn Johnson (Park Portsmouth), Ledley King (Tottenham), Scholey (Reading), Brown (Manchester United), Lescott (Everton), Richards (Manchester City), Upson (West Ham ), Woodgate (Tottenham);

Midfielders: Carrick (Manchester United), Gerrard (Liverpool), Barry (Aston Villa), Nickle Williams (Manchester United), Hargreaves (Manchester United), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Ashley Young (Aston Villa), Downing (Middlesbrough), Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), David Bentley (Blackburn);

Forwards: Heskey (Wigan Athletic); Abanglaho (Aston Villa), Owen (Newcastle), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Peter Crouch (Liverpool).

Colleague, Capello emphasized that this national team cannot represent anything, and some players were not selected due to injuries or other reasons, which does not mean that there will be no chance in the future. The current players are just preparing for the warm-up match with Switzerland.

However, many fans hoped that Beckham was not selected, which disappointed many people. Beckham remained silent, and Capello's answer was very skillful, "I really can't go to his game, it's too much." Far away. And I can't just call a player into the national team who I don't know the reality, although I know him, but that is the past."

Chelsea stars Terry and Lampard were not selected due to injury problems, as were experienced veterans such as Campbell, Phil Neville and Defoe, while Huskey, Woodgate, Ledley - King and Upson got their chances.

"I know there's been a lot of talk about David Beckham being in the England squad, but he hasn't played anything since November and that's why I didn't call him up," Capello said. I spoke to Beckham on the phone yesterday and I told him that England is still part of the plan, but only if he plays regularly in the MLS, and then I will keep an eye on him."

The news that Nicole was selected into the squad is really mixed. The joy is that he will be selected for the national team again, but the worry is whether he will get a chance to perform and whether he will be selected for the 23-man list?

Immediately afterwards, Capello finally spoke, and it was a very sensitive topic, that is, the issue of England losing the European Championship.

Capello revealed that England's failure to qualify for next year's European Cup shocked him. "I have watched some games of the England team. They played too conservatively against Russia in Moscow. Because they led 1-0 in the first half, they played 90 minutes. They were stationed at the front of the box. At Wembley they only needed a draw to progress, and they lost 2-3 to Croatia."

"We coaches are asking ourselves, how did England, with all the stars they have, not make it to Euro 2008? England, like Spain, has a lot of stars but only a handful of trophies."

The famous Italian marshal intends to act as a gentle "psychologist" this time to relieve the heavy burden on the England international, which is even more important than tactics.Capello said: "Obviously they have a mental block, otherwise it would not explain why they did not qualify for Euro 2008."

"I think the 30-man roster announced for the first time is very necessary, because it can show that opportunities are equal for every player." At the press conference, Capello specifically emphasized this time The announcement is only a preliminary list, and the final 23-man list will be announced this Saturday.

And today is the day to announce the final list.
