The most low-key superstar

Chapter 351 Honor
Manchester United's trip to Germany has achieved a satisfactory result, which made the English media quite satisfied. However, there are also unpleasant things, that is, the Red Army Liverpool, the former banner of English football, lost to Fiorentina. They had already been eliminated from the Champions League group stage before the game, but the Anfield stadium fell again, which can be regarded as a big upset.

The fans of Manchester United were overjoyed. What made them most happy was not that Manchester United won the top spot in the group. In the eyes of the Red Devils fans, no matter how difficult Manchester United faced, they were well-deserved representatives of English football.

"Because we have Ferguson and we have Nicole!"

As for Liverpool, the former European overlord, Manchester United fans are happiest when they are out. "Manchester United can represent England. Maybe Chelsea and Arsenal can also help. As for Liverpool, let's find a way to break through the group stage. Not today. Yes, but what about next year?"

Regarding Liverpool being eliminated to play in the Europa League, UEFA is also secretly happy in their hearts. They really don't want to see the scene of four English teams meeting in the quarter-finals.

In fact, Liverpool had already determined that they would not be able to qualify from the group stage in the last round. Before this game, the two sides had only one match record. In this season's Champions League group stage, Liverpool lost 0:2 away to Fiorentina.

The game Benitez Aquilani arranged in the starting list, this is the first time the Italian started on behalf of Liverpool.Since winning or losing the game is of little significance to Liverpool, Benitez also made some adjustments to the defense. Glenn Johnson did not enter the team list, while the golden boy Torres returned from injury.

In the first half, Benayoun scored first to help Liverpool score, but in the second half, Jorgensen scored to equalize the score. Gilardino scored a lore in stoppage time. Fiorentina reversed and beat Liverpool 2:1 away.

With Liverpool's exit, the issue of Gerrard's fate has also been hyped up.

Liverpool star Collymore recently wrote an article for the British "Mirror", saying that Liverpool can't win the league championship, and Gerrard, as one of the best active players in England, should leave the declining Red Army and find someone who truly matches his strength Team, won a league championship gold medal, so as not to retire with regret, and Manchester United is one of his choices.

In Collymore's view, the Red Devils and Manchester United are the team that can best help Gerrard realize his dream of a league title. Although there has never been a player transaction between the two teams, it is not impossible. The former Liverpool golden boy , now at Manchester United, in Collymore's article, he believes that everything can be resolved, 'No obstacle can stop a championship dream. '

Upon learning of the news, Gerrard immediately issued a statement on Liverpool's official website, saying that it was necessary for him to lead the team to the Premier League title.

But in the early hours of this morning, Liverpool lost at home again.Although the game was irrelevant, the score of 1:2 still made Liverpool lose face.After the game, Gerrard hurriedly exchanged jerseys with his opponents, bowed his head and walked into the player tunnel.

To be loyal or to be a champion?Gerald may not be playing drums in his heart.As a professional player, he is short of the gold medal he most covets in his medal room.But as a Liverpool native and a die-hard Liverpool fan, it was not easy to let him go.

In the summer of 05, the contract to move to Chelsea was almost signed, but when he saw the fans who had unconditionally supported him burn his No. 8 jersey, he quickly made a decision: stay in Liverpool.As he got older, Gerrard's affection for Liverpool became deeper and deeper. He once said, "If I don't win the league championship in Liverpool jerseys, then everything is meaningless to me." When Collymore When publishing a column hoping for his transfer, he also said mercilessly that he was "not a legend, just an ordinary Liverpool man," implying that those who alienate himself from the team really don't know current affairs.

Although there were many private disagreements with Benitez in the past few seasons, and although he can completely confront Benitez with his qualifications in the team, he still chose to support Bei.He firmly believes that the interests of the team are everything, for the team, he can bear it.However, Benitez has not brought Liverpool the long-awaited league championship in the past 5 years, and Gerrard has changed from a 24-year-old boy to a 29-year-old mature man.

For a frontcourt player, 29 years old is the golden age, but once he reaches the 30-year-old mark, it will inevitably start to decline.How many more years can Gerrard wait for this title?His current contract with the team is until the end of the summer of 2013. Counting his fingers, he only has 3 years to fight for the league championship after excluding this season, which has been plagued by bad luck and missed the championship.

"Steven won't come to Manchester United. It's not fair to him. He has the ability to be the soul of a team. He has the perseverance to lead the team to glory instead of relying on others to have the so-called championship." Before, Nicole also expressed his views, obviously, Nicole does not agree with Collymore's statement.

"Could it be that Manchester United belonged to Nickell?" Collymore retorted for Nickell's words, but Nickell remained silent.

However, many Red Devils fans stood up, "Manchester United belongs to Nickel, and the championship is also Manchester United, which belongs to Nickel."

"Of course the best clubs will emerge from the best leagues. UEFA's statement is indeed unfair." Platini's remarks made the FA very annoyed. Under strong pressure, Platini Tiny had to come to London himself to explain.

There is another game that makes UEFA happy, that is, Bayern Munich reversed Juventus with a score of 4-1 in the field, and they just snatched a ticket to the round of 16 of the Champions League from their opponents in the last round.Looking at the process of Bayern's Champions League group stage, except for the two games against the underdog Maccabi Haifa, there is no suspense. They defeated Bordeaux at home and away, and were tied 0-0 by Juventus at home with the advantage. This made Bayern 1 point behind Juventus before the last group match, and one foot has entered the Europa League, and the latter can qualify for the group as long as they get a draw.However, the final result was that Bayern scored 1 goals in a row and won the victory after conceding 4 goal first.

In the history of the UEFA Champions League, there are many examples of wealthy teams that have survived from desperation and did not get the right to qualify until the last round. Whether it is luck or background, the UEFA Champions League is more exciting because of these games. attract attention.

The top 16 of the Champions League are all produced. They are Premier League teams Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, La Liga teams Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Sevilla, Serie A teams AC Milan, Fiorentina, Inter Milan, Bundesliga teams Bayern, Stuttgart, Ligue [-] The teams Bordeaux and Lyon, as well as the Russian Super League team CSKA Moscow, the Portuguese Super League team Porto, and the Greek A team Olympiakos.

Looking at the UEFA Champions League this season, compared with previous seasons, the overall performance is more balanced.The Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A each have three teams advanced, and they are still strong. Ligue [-] Lyon has Bordeaux as a companion this time, and they are no longer alone. The Bundesliga also has two teams qualifying. The situation of the five major leagues controlling UEFA is still the same.

Among them, the overall performance of the Premier League is still good, but compared with the previous two seasons, it has regressed slightly. Manchester United and Chelsea both advanced two rounds ahead of schedule, while Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan and Inter Milan all performed well in the group stage. CUHK has its ups and downs. In addition, the Portuguese Super League, Greek Super League, Russian Super League and other leagues still have teams advancing to the top 16. On the contrary, the Eredivisie performed poorly and no team advanced.

"This is not healthy European football, we have to make a choice." The head of UEFA once made the above-mentioned remarks last season, and was once fiercely criticized by the English media.

This year, UEFA has been avoiding talking about this kind of topic. Now, the strength of the English team has weakened a lot. Liverpool is out, and Arsenal is also unstable. Chelsea did not encounter any strong opponents, but Manchester United Team, they have shown the background and tenacity that a rich team should have.

The draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League will take place on December 12.According to the UEFA Champions League round of 18 draw rules, the domestic league and the same group of teams avoid each other, and the second team in the group will face the top team in the group stage.The UEFA Champions League knockout stage competition will start in February next year. Group No. 16 will go away first and then host.

When Nicole arrived in Manchester with the team, it was already very late. At the airport, too many fans came to the airport to greet their hero. To win a brilliant victory under such a bad situation, Manchester United deserved the title of Red Devils .

"Nicole, according to sources, you may be named England Footballer of the Year, how do you feel about that?"

"Mr. Footballer of England? I'm sorry, I haven't heard the news about you, so I can't comment on it." Nichol now wants to go home quickly, and the bed is what he needs most.

In fact, Nichols has already received some news from Paul, that is, Nichols is very likely to get this title. As for why Nichols is not interested, there is a reason.

Nickell's performance was not so dazzling this season. Since Nickell transferred to Manchester United, except for the half season in West Ham because West Ham was really weak, he didn't win any championships. After the red jersey, Nickel made contributions to the establishment of Manchester United's new dynasty with his own efforts, but the stubborn England FA always ignored Nickel in this regard.

This title should have been obtained last year, but it was not until this year that there was an uncertain news. Because there is no such title, Nickel has been missed from European Footballer and World Footballer.

Although Nicole doesn't have to have this title, but from the bottom of his heart, Nickel wants to be recognized after his success. Apart from the fans, the most official titles are these titles.

The annual "England Footballer of the Year" selection is made by fans on the official website of the FA. The voting starts in mid-December each year and the results will be announced in February of the next year. The selection criteria is the performance of the players in the England team.

This time, there are two competitors for Nicole, one is Liverpool captain Gerrard who has just been eliminated, and the other is Chelsea guard Terry, and Nicole is selected for the first time. However, in In the advance surveys of the major media, Nicole's approval rating is far ahead, and this uncertain news comes from this, because the annual predictions have never missed.

The annual "England Footballer of the Year" selection has a history of 7 years. The players who have won this award before are Beckham (2003), Lampard (2004, 2005), Hargreaves (2006) , Gerrard (2007) and Rooney (2008)
