The most low-key superstar

Chapter 248 Must Win!

After Nichol returned from Tokyo, he directly asked Mr. Ferguson for leave. Mr. Ferguson graciously agreed to Nichol’s leave. When he made the request, he would come back when he thought he could. Don’t come back in a hurry. Spend more time with your family, the reason for this is mainly because most of the team's opponents are not strong recently.

On Christmas Day, Nicole's house was very lively, Yang Mi's father also rushed to Manchester, and Aunt Huang and her two children were also left to spend Christmas together.

Of course, the center of the family is Yang Mi, and her due date is just a few days away. Due to Yang Mi's mother's arrangements, Nichol's family has made all preparations and is waiting for the arrival of the little life. At this time, Nichol He was also extremely nervous. He was expecting, nervous, and worried.

But all of this turned into ecstasy on the afternoon of December 12th. Yang Mi gave birth smoothly at the local hospital, Nicole became a father, and a beautiful little angel descended into the world.

On December 12th, Manchester United defeated Middlesbrough 1-0 at home. After scoring the goal, all the players on the Manchester United field ran to the sidelines, facing the camera lens, and collectively made a cradle movement, which made Nicole do it. The exposure of his father also explained the mystery of Nicole's disappearance after returning from Japan.

After the game, Nicole's assistant Hall also announced the birth of Nicole's daughter at the door of Nicole's house, but he rejected the reporter's request for a photo of the little princess, and begged the reporters to give the child a relaxed environment for growth.

On the first day of the new year, Nicole finally returned to the team to participate in training. He had delayed too much time, and Nicole also thought that he had gone too far, but many teammates were also surprised that Nicole came back so early. In their view, Nicole should not have come back so early.

Nickell thanked his teammates for their well wishes for his daughter.

Next, Manchester United's FA Cup journey is about to begin. Now Manchester United's situation is not bad. They are in a good position in the league. Although Liverpool's performance is eye-catching, considering that Manchester United missed two games, there is still hope. Yes, especially Mr. Ferguson, will never allow the league title to fall, especially when the competitor is Liverpool, and Chelsea's situation is so bad that it can't be worse, and Arsenal's situation this year compared to last season , its overall strength is still declining, and obviously it can no longer pose a direct threat to Manchester United and Liverpool. Therefore, the championship battle this season is the competition between the Red Army and the Red Devils.

Manchester United's first opponent in the FA Cup was Southampton. The fallen Saints failed to stop the progress of the Red Devils. Nickle entered the squad, but did not start, but was replaced in the last 10 minutes. At this time, Manchester United is already leading by three goals. Mr. Ferguson's purpose of doing this is to let Nickle, who has not been training systematically recently, find the feeling of the game. Since the Club World Cup, Coach Ferguson has been more careful about the use of Nicole.

Because they will face Chelsea in a few days, this game is very important for Manchester United. They must win their opponents at home, lay the foundation for this year's league title defense, and also accumulate strength for the start of the Champions League round of [-].

The semi-finals of the League Cup is no longer a single elimination. The participating teams need to play home and away games, and finally decide who will enter the final venue.

Manchester United's opponent in the semi-finals was Derby County from the British Championship. Mr. Ferguson selected several players from the youth team, and at the same time kept many important players in Carrington, including Nickel, Rooney, Giggs, Ferdinand And many other players.

But the result of the game was a bit disappointing. The Derbyshire people defeated the recently unbeaten Manchester United at home and took the lead in the two rounds, although it was only a one-goal lead.

------

"Blue Melancholy" is the headline given by the media to the current Chelsea. Scolari persisted until the New Year, but he was not happy. The winter supplement plan did not succeed. During the entire winter transfer period, Chelsea did not get a The joining of players, Scolari is not without goals, but the club refused to provide transfer funds, and Essien was announced to miss all the rest of the season, making Scolari's defensive players even more scarce. In the game a few days ago, Chelsea was tied by a League One team in the FA Cup, which was even more disappointing.

Before the game against Manchester United, sources have claimed that every next game will be Scolari's last, he must win, and a draw is unacceptable. For this rumor, Scola Li remained silent, and what is interesting is that Chelsea's top management also remained silent, neither admitting nor denying.

Everyone understands that Scolari is not the head coach that Chelsea wants. He is just a backup and plays a transitional role. During his tenure, Chelsea completed the hard work of losing weight dramatically.

Therefore, Chelsea's away game against Manchester United has attracted widespread attention before the game. The focus is that if Manchester United can beat Chelsea at home as they wish, will Scolari dismiss get out of class sadly? If the Brazilian leaves, who will succeed him? , Is Chelsea really ready for a new head coach?

Of course, for Manchester United, their good days are over, because from this game on, what they will experience is a long, hard devil's game, and they will average every three days for a long time. To play a game, if you count the game on February 2, they will have nine games.

The fans at Old Trafford did not lose their mood because of the defeat in the last FA Cup. On the contrary, they are in a good mood today. They all want to witness a famous coach lose their jobs before their eyes, provided that they love The team can win, and they have absolutely no doubt about it.

Essien has been injured for some time, but it was only recently confirmed that he will not be able to return before the end of the season, and Ghana 'Buffalo' Essien plays a very important role in Scolari's tactical system, which is also One of the reasons why Chelsea's record has gone from bad to worse over the past month.

Once upon a time, after Abramovich came into power strongly, Chelsea brandished checks to recruit troops, especially in the era of 'Magic Bird' Mourinho, Chelsea was synonymous with championships and victories in the Premier League, and the Israeli Grant was very successful in maintaining The stability of the team, and the firm implementation of Mourinho's tactical system, so that Chelsea did not experience a significant decline last season, but the ending of the "Double Asian King" made Abramovich unable to bear it anymore, and he fired Grant. , After pursuing Hiddink unsuccessfully, he had to accept the arrival of Scolari, but the taste of Chelsea's reconstruction is too strong, which is also destined to be a tragedy for the Brazilian to come to Stamford Bridge.

This season, due to the impact of the financial crisis, the property of the rich Russian has shrunk sharply, and his investment in Chelsea has been reduced to a stingy level. This can be seen from the two transfer periods of this season, and it can also be seen from Chelsea's player list I can also feel it.

Although Chelsea's prestige is still there, against Manchester United, which has been almost invincible recently, their game will be very difficult, and it will be an away game.

Mr. Ferguson also admitted in private when chatting with his friends that the difficulty of this game is actually not great. Now his biggest headache is how to rotate the lineup and maintain the continuous combat effectiveness of Manchester United.

The game was scheduled to be held at night, with kick-off at 23:[-], which was also to take care of the fans around the world. The FA's commercial development was almost exhausted, but it did not consider the feelings of the players.

Not long before the start of the game, there was news from Stoke City that Liverpool, leading in points, had finally stopped its winning streak. Recently, Gerrard led the Red Army to a wave of dazzling winning streak. Created great pressure on Manchester United. At this critical moment, Liverpool's draw gave Manchester United a chance, provided they beat Chelsea.

"We must win. The initiative is still in our own hands. Once we relax, we can't rely on other people's charity to win the championship. Therefore, we have to win!" Nickel participated in the pre-match competition on behalf of the team. Press briefing.

　Yesterday I drove out with my wife and children, but I encountered a traffic jam that I had never encountered before. At the Qingxian Toll Station on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, vehicles waiting to pay the toll stood in line for nearly five kilometers. Wukong passed an hour and a half later. I still have good skills. I know that I can go faster from the parking belt, and then borrow the road from the service area to pass the barrier. The National Day is really a horrible festival.In fact, we can also understand that if you can’t buy a ticket, you always promote the public to choose public transportation, but can public transportation meet the travel requirements?Feel free to complain.
