The most low-key superstar

Chapter 269 A Beautiful Coincidence!
The game is over, and the story is not over yet, but the protagonist has become the media, the players can take off their armor, and their mission has been completed.

"We will come back next year. I really hope that the opponent is still Manchester United." Mourinho left after saying a harsh word. This may be the most unmannered time of Mourinho in the past few years. Mourinho's multiple calculations basically failed to achieve the expected results, and Inter Milan lost very thoroughly.

"Can't afford to lose the champion coach! "This is the headline given to Mourinho by the English media. Mourinho, who is too gawkish, is indeed far from his usual demeanor. In short, this failure hit him hard. He He very much hoped to step on the corpse of his old opponent, but the ending was completely different from his expectations.

In terms of the strength of the players alone, Mourinho believes that his team must be stronger than the opponent, but the opponent's Nicole used three goals in these two games to walk Manchester United to advance. At the same time, this Nichol almost destroyed His well-designed tactics caused the team to fail to establish an advantage at home, and Mourinho's tactical design was messed up by Nickel in the away game.

Mr. Moratti in the box on the stand also had his own considerations. He regretted it. At that time, his assistant proposed to buy this Nicole, even at any cost. However, Inter Milan backed down after a little trial, but judging from today , Moratti admitted that he was very wrong in this matter.

Afterwards, Moratti admitted his mistake with his club's transfer manager in private, because it was the transfer manager Branca who insisted on buying Nickell, but Moratti's lack of interest in England players made this matter impossible. The matter was put on hold.

There has always been an argument in Europe that the super-prosperous Premier League overestimates English players. This is also related to the success of few English players who have gone abroad. In short, apart from England, there are very few leagues in other countries. There are England players.In England, the value of local players is indeed very high, which is why foreign clubs are rarely interested in English players. Even Beckham is not doing well in Real Madrid.

"Our opponents are very strong. However, we played better. The players showed great fighting spirit and were not timid in front of their opponents. They are real fighters. I am very happy for my players." Mr. Ferguson said at this time Sing your praises.

"So, what do you think Inter Milan needs to improve?" This is an Italian reporter, he is very frustrated, the three teams in Italy have been wiped out, just came a sad news for him, the Roma team Failed to create brilliant at home, they lost in a penalty shootout with Arsenal.

"What they need to improve is to pray and hope to have better luck in the future. For the rest, I think they are already very good." It is not the habit of coach Ferguson to be reasonable and not forgiving.

"Arsenal has already eliminated Roma. In this season's round of 3, a full-scale confrontation between Italy and England has been formed. Now the results are out. England won 0-[-]. How do you comment on this?" The reporter's triumphant look revealed that he was an English reporter. Italian reporters despised him. If there is no such thing, this is simply adding salt to the wounds of Italians.

"Comprehensive confrontation? This word is not appropriate. I can only use someone else's sentence to answer you. Everything is a coincidence. The draw is a coincidence, and the outcome is also a coincidence. This does not explain anything. However, the Premier League is in the world. It can be seen that positions in football will become more and more important."

Indeed, this season's Champions League has once again seen what UEFA least wants to see, that is, the English team occupies four places in the quarter-finals, which is almost exactly the same as last season, Platini believes. This is not a good phenomenon for the development of European football and should be avoided as much as possible.

However, the media in England was full of jubilation. They thought this was England's victory, and they even clamored to turn the semi-finals into a civil war in the Premier League.

There are also many media who are worried about whether UEFA's tricky draw will be staged again. In order to verify this, England's The Sun put their predicted draw results on their website, and they will compare them after the results come out. Interestingly, , Liverpool and Chelsea will be deadlocked again in their artificially arranged matchup.

In William Hill's Champions League winning odds list, Barcelona topped the list at 1 to 2.5, and the defending champion Manchester United also ranked second at 1 to 2.5, followed by Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern, and Villa Real and Porto rank last.

As the best player in the game, Nickel also attended the press conference. At the press conference, a reporter reviewed Nickel’s declaration of winning the championship at the beginning of the season, “So, now that Manchester United has eliminated the mighty Inter Milan, it has become Since 2004, it is the first defending champion team to break into the quarterfinals, so what do you think the chances of defending the title are?"

"I don't know, I just know, we won, and then we created a record, and then I hope we continue to create records, such as the first defending champion team to reach the semi-finals, or the first defending team to reach the finals The champion, of course, does not rule out that there will be the first defending champion." Nickel's ambition was once again exposed.

"Then between you and Mourinho..." The reporter also wanted to speculate on the relationship between Nicole and Mourinho.

"We don't have any relationship, he is a capable head coach, and I am a Manchester United player, that's all." Nickel is unwilling to talk about such topics, he feels meaningless.

"There are rumors that UEFA will try to make Barcelona champions, Nicole, do you think it is credible?" A reporter threw a blockbuster.

The UEFA official next to him cursed in his heart, but he also pricked up his ears and waited for Nicole's answer.

"I can't judge the rumors. I only believe that strength determines everything, not who will keep the championship. In the face of absolute strength, all shady tricks can't change the facts." Nichol also heard this rumor, However, as a person in the football circle, he believed it a little bit, but on the bright side, this matter must not be said.

------

Inter Milan and Roma were eliminated by the English duo on the same day, which caused a great shock in Italy, "Reform!Only reform can make progress. 》The media attributed the weakness of the Italian league in recent years to some conditions imposed by the Italian government on Serie A. These conditions made the competitiveness of Serie A teams continue to decline. Once upon a time, Serie A was known as the Little World Cup, but now , they were wiped out in the last sixteen of the Champions League.

After Manchester United happily eliminated Inter Milan, only three days later, Manchester United ushered in the league championship direct contender Red Army Liverpool at home. England's hero team, however, if they fail to win at Old Trafford this time, they will completely lose their qualifications for the league title.

Benitez regained the support of Liverpool fans after defeating Real Madrid by a big score. At this time, he was in high spirits. He said before the game, 'Now our morale is high and the team is in very good condition. It's an away game, I believe in my players, they won't let any opponent run over them easily. '

"I know that Manchester United has a very good record this season, but I also believe that we still have the heart of a champion and we will go all out."

And Mr. Ferguson also had great expectations for defeating Liverpool, because as long as Manchester United wins this game, it will completely leave Liverpool behind and take the lead in the competition for the league title.

However, when the Manchester United soldiers were in a bloody battle with Liverpool, Nicole missed this heavyweight game because of Angela.

On the night before the game, Angela, who is usually very lively, suddenly cried very hard and developed a high fever.

Nicole called their personal doctor. When the doctor came, he was unable to determine what caused Angela to fall to the ground, and admitted that he was not very proficient in pediatrics, and suggested that they go to the hospital.

Soon, with the help of doctors, the Nicole family quickly sent Angela to Christie Hospital in Manchester. Because Angela's condition was serious, the doctor immediately sent her to the intensive care unit, and only the mother was allowed to enter. Nicole could only stay outside.

anxious!
Only anxiety!
Although every once in a while Yang Mi would tell Nicole by text message that the child's condition did not continue to deteriorate, but the failure to find out the cause made Nicole more and more worried.

In this situation, it was not until the next morning that Nicole, who was about to collapse, got the news of Angela's diagnosis. The specific reason was that Angela had contracted a relatively rare cold. This virus is relatively common in Asia, but for Europeans Said to be relatively rare.

Hearing that it was just a cold, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief, but when his doctor noticed Nicole's expression, he said to Nicole very seriously, "Nicole, I want to remind you that a cold is a very serious disease, and now you You need to take isolation measures and observe for 24 hours. After there is no problem, you can return to your normal life. Today your game is over."

"What?" Nichol was dumbfounded when he heard it. He still had the idea that minor injuries could not leave the line of fire, but according to the doctor, he should not even participate in training. It is a very serious disease in humans, and it can kill people.

No way, Nicole told Mr. Ferguson about his situation. Although Mr. Ferguson felt very sorry, he still insisted on asking Nicole to follow the doctor's advice and not to think about the game.

At noon, Angela's condition improved, and the fever that had subsided did not recur, and Nicole had to put on a sterile isolation suit and a mask, and the same was true for Yang Mi, because the child was relatively young, and Yang Mi was allowed to Mi was by the side, but Yang Mi was absolutely not allowed to intervene in anything, which made Nichols and his wife, who were used to letting nurses order them, very uncomfortable.

When the game started, Angela had already fallen asleep peacefully, and only then did the two realize that they hadn't slept for two days and one night.

In the ward, Nicole hugged his wife who was already asleep, turned on the TV, and watched the live broadcast, but when he saw the end of the halftime, he closed his eyes in pain, and couldn't watch it anymore.

In this game, it cannot be said that Manchester United did not perform well, but Liverpool's momentum is overwhelming and unstoppable, and their luck is unmatched.

Just less than 5 minutes into the game, Vidic was awarded a penalty for handball in the penalty area and received a yellow card.

Torres made it overnight and Liverpool took the lead with one goal. After that, Manchester United stepped up their attack. In No. 17 minutes, Rooney received a pass from Carrick near the penalty area line, shot powerfully, and pierced the goalkeeper's ten fingers to equalize the score.

Manchester United, who equalized the score, continued to strengthen the attack, but was counterattacked by Liverpool in the No.205 minute. As a last resort, Vidic used a foul to prevent the opponent's counterattack and was sent off by the referee. Mr. Ferguson had to replace Berba with a defender. Tove, this red card became the turning point of the whole game.

By the end of the first half, the score had become 3:1, and Torres had completed a hat-trick.

In the second half, Wayne Rooney strained his thigh, and Manchester United's situation was over. In the end, they lost 1:4 at home.

"Next time, I will definitely not make you so proud. I will pay you back twice as much." Looking at the triumphant Liverpool players, Nickel secretly made up his mind.

Benitez couldn't hide his joy in front of the camera, "I said that my players are very determined. They will definitely use their performance to prove that they are the best team in Europe. This victory is very important. Next In the end, all we have to do is wait for the opponent to make a mistake, provided that we get all the points we deserve."

However, defeating one game did not make Mr. Ferguson look very angry, "We can't put too high demands on the players. In a long season, it is normal for one or a few games to not perform well. Losing a game It doesn't change the outcome of the whole league, our lead is solid and Manchester United will not collapse because of one loss."

"Did Nickell's absence also affect Manchester United's performance?" A reporter was very concerned about Nicole's situation. "Why didn't the club notify you of any injuries to Nickell's body?"

"Nickel was unable to appear on the field because of a cold. As for whether Nickle's absence will affect the strength of the team, I think it has a certain impact, but it is definitely not the most important thing. The key to this game is that A red card."

"So do you think there is a problem with the penalty of the red card?" The reporter's eyes lit up.

"I'm old, my eyes can't see clearly, and I don't have the habit of dictating the referee's work, so I can't comment."

The reporters couldn't help admiring Mr. Ferguson's words, because Ferguson's face didn't change at all when he said this. Everyone knows that Mr. Ferguson often shoots at referees. For this reason, he has received many fines from the FA, but He is also considered a privileged person, as long as it is not too much, the Football Association is not willing to provoke him.

Three days later, Angela was much better, and Nicole had no symptoms of a cold, and he resumed training.

The time soon came to the draw of the UEFA Champions League. In Nyon, Switzerland, the headquarters of UEFA held the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 08/09 season.

The result of the draw really caused an uproar in the world. The result predicted by the English Sun newspaper was only two games away, which means that they guessed the most critical part. Chelsea continued to choke with last season's rival Liverpool, and Manchester United will accept Porto's challenge, Bayern Munich, who scored [-] goals in the round of [-], will face the equally amazing Barcelona team.

With the first leg on April 8, United's luck appears to be running low, as they take on Portuguese giants Porto at home first.

The key is Chelsea and Liverpool, which caused an uproar in the English media, but UEFA's response was still the same sentence, "This is a beautiful coincidence."

"I think this result is of little significance to the Manchester United team. The strength of every opponent should not be underestimated. Therefore, we will make all preparations." Mr. Ferguson said.

But privately, Ferguson is very satisfied with the result of the draw. Although Porto was once the European champion, their strength is indeed not enough to threaten Manchester United. It is better than other opponents, just like Barcelona, ​​their opponent Bayern. In the game against Sporting Lisbon, they scored twelve goals in two crazy games. It will never be an easy task to play against such an opponent.

"I don't think the coincidence is so beautiful, because I noticed a pattern of coincidences, that is, a few seasons ago, every time Chelsea met Barcelona, ​​now Chelsea have to face Liverpool, to be honest. , I don’t think it’s a coincidence, it should be God’s will in it.” Firefighter Hiddink said cryptically.

With a relaxed mind, Manchester United set foot on Fulham's home court. In the first half, Manchester United took a two-goal lead. The Manchester United team, who thought the victory was safe, became careless in the second half, including Nickel. Counterattack, but Fulham launched a Jedi counterattack in the second half.

Although Mr. Ferguson was blowing a hair dryer on the sidelines, it was difficult for the Manchester United team to get nervous again. They were equalized by their opponents.

The furious Mr. Ferguson scolded for half an hour in the locker room. Mr. Ferguson, who was still angry, also announced that he would cancel the half-day vacation of the next day and change to a full-day training.

The underperforming Manchester United players were afraid to speak up for fear of angering the old man, they knew Mr Ferguson was really angry, and Liverpool seized the opportunity to play crazy again, and they beat Aston Villa 5-0 at home The team was defeated and approached Manchester United further.

Fortunately, at this time, the league was suspended, and Manchester United finally got a chance to breathe and adjust, while Nicole went to the national team and began to fight for the World Cup in South Africa.

　Due to time constraints, two into one, sorry.
