The most low-key superstar

Chapter 165 Conquest of Rome

"Nice job, Nicole!"

Nickell took the clothes and water bottle from the assistant coach, came to the bench, and continued to pay attention to the situation on the field. At this time, the Liverpool team had no rules and looked lively, but the threat was gone.

Soon Rooney was also replaced by Tevez.

Manchester United fans have already started to celebrate. Although Arsenal and then Chelsea have been Manchester United's biggest opponents for the past few years, the real opponents of Manchester United fans are still Liverpool in front of them. The grievances between the two teams cannot be resolved. Yes, they have their own pride, and they both regard their opponents as their greatest enemies. It is also understandable why the two sides have not transferred players to each other.

Although the thousands of Liverpool fans who came with the team were still singing the eternal team song in their hearts, they had no passion, no anger, and the sad fans just completed their ceremony. Although the team was doomed to lose, But that's still their favorite team.

The smell of gunpowder on the field was very strong, but with the whistle of the referee, everything was over. Benitez still maintained his minimum demeanor, shook hands with Mr. Ferguson, and then waited for the players on the sidelines to greet him .

Ferguson, who was in high spirits, did not go straight back to the channel as usual, but stood on the sidelines and clapped hands with every player passing by.

"We haven't given up yet. Although we lost this game, it doesn't mean it's the end. There are still so many league games, and everything is possible."

"Today, we played very well. The players fought until the end, but I have to admit that the opponent also did a good job. Sometimes luck often determines the result."

Benitez rarely justifies his team's loss in this way, but today he is particularly abnormal, vigorously looking for reasons for the team's loss of the crucial national derby, of course it can also be understood as an excuse.

Ferguson was all smiles, his excitement couldn't be concealed at all, because his red face exposed everything, "This is a great victory, and it is also a crucial victory for Manchester United this season. The only thing preventing us from winning the honor is ourselves gone."

"I have to say that the lads did a great job today and made a good start for the next Champions League game. I am very satisfied."

As captains on the field, both Gerrard and Nicole participated in the post-match press conference, but Gerrard, who was not in a good mood, didn't say anything, and just dismissed the reporter's questions with a few sentences.

And Nichol also made a self-summary, "Participating in the game as the captain of the team today made me feel a great responsibility, and in the game, many things told me that I still have many things to do in order to become a qualified captain. Learning, but fortunately, there are a lot of players on the team who can let me learn. I will do better."

"National Derby, Liverpool completely defeated": From tactics, to on-the-spot command, to the performance of the players, Liverpool is completely at a disadvantage in this game, and the road to the rise of the Red Army is not smooth.

"The young captain Nicole completed a game very well. Although it is not perfect, we can't ask him to do better. We have to congratulate Manchester United. For at least ten years, they will not have to worry about the captain's problem." 'The Sun, as always, praised Nicole.

When Nicole returned home, she was still immersed in excitement, and it was rare for her to take out a bottle of red wine. Yang Mi naturally understood why Nicole was happy, so she specially made some good side dishes. Although Nicole didn't taste very delicious, but For Yang Mi, this is quite good.

After Yang Mi came to Nicole, she also began to try to cook Western food. Although Nicole was more willing to accept Chinese food, but for his sports career, Nicole had to make sacrifices on the issue of food.

"Isn't it boring to be alone at home?"

"It's okay, I'll get used to it soon." Yang Mi was taken aback when she heard Nicole's topic, but she concealed it very well.

Although Yang Mi's expression was subtle, Nichol could still feel it.

Manchester United's recent schedule is relatively tight. They will soon face a make-up match against Bolton. Now their lead is not obvious. Chelsea reversed and defeated their opponents in the battle against Arsenal, maintaining a strong pressure on Manchester United, so Manchester United Can't be negligent, if there is a slight mistake, then Chelsea will immediately overtake them. After all, there are still seven rounds in the league. Arsenal was overtaken by Manchester United with a nine-point lead. Now they don't want to be the object of others' miracles.

However, Mr. Ferguson seemed to be full of confidence. Regardless of the pressure, he resolutely implemented the rotation policy. Nickel took a rest in the game against Bolton. However, Manchester United still defeated the opponent with difficulty in the away game. Ronaldo's goal gave Manchester United three points as they wished.

Now is the critical moment of the relegation battle. Bolton's tenacious resistance made Manchester United pay for Saha's re-injury. He returned to the injured list just after he recovered from the injury. Saha, the unlucky guy, has been completely removed from Ferguson's plan. Disappeared, the striker crisis is getting more and more serious, although Ronaldo has always been a striker, but the weakness of not having a strong striker is still a big trouble for Manchester United.

The next opponent, Aston Villa, is now ranked sixth, ahead of Everton, the gap is not big, and only 4 points away from No.6, but the pursuit behind is also approaching, Blackburn, Manchester City and Portsmouth are catching up closely, so facing Manchester United's current situation, even though it is an away game, they still have their own ideas.

This round of Nicole played, captain Neville started, the game was very difficult, although the fans tried their best to cheer, but Manchester United fell behind by one goal in the first half.

At midfield, Mr. Ferguson made adjustments. Carrick replaced Fletcher and Nickell switched to the right. In fact, if Carrick hadn’t been injured often, he would still be a good defensive midfielder, especially for long pass organization Very distinctive, Manchester United aggressively counterattacked in the second half, Nicole made many good shots, but in today's game, Tevez and Rooney were really unlucky, especially Rooney is now in a scoring drought.

At the last moment, Nicole forced his way into Villa's penalty area with his sharp breakthrough, and was pulled down by his opponent. The referee awarded a penalty without hesitation. Rooney, who was in desperate need of a goal, finally broke the scoring shortage.

In the end, Villa took a satisfying point from Old Trafford, and Chelsea's pursuit was once again looming.The difference is only 5 points.

And Neville's poor state has also become the object of Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson's troubles.

After the game, Manchester United rushed to Rome non-stop. The quarter-finals of the Champions League are about to start, and Rome, which has played twice this season, has become a huge rock blocking the direction of Manchester United.

Roma did not take advantage of Manchester United in the last two matches. It can be said that old revenge has not been avenged and new ones are added. It was already late at night when Manchester United arrived in Rome. For more than two hours, looking at the tired players, Mr. Ferguson made fun of the restorative training the next morning.

The Manchester United players who entered the room quickly fell asleep, having just completed an intense game, and then a long journey, and the hotel check-in made things difficult for these young people.

Frowning, Ferguson looked at the assistant who came in, "What excuse?"

Queiroz went to negotiate with the hotel, mainly to protest, of course, to avoid any further problems in the hotel. Manchester United came early, and today's problem will not have any impact on the subsequent games, but what happens next, so we must be prepared .

"What excuses are there? I made a mistake at work, lost an order, and then apologized and made a promise. Hell, it must be Rome."

"Haha! It means that they are scared, don't be angry, we will teach them a lesson on the court, well, go to rest, let these boys sleep more tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
