The most low-key superstar

Chapter 357 Family and Friendship
After arranging the problem of the car, Nicole and his teammates set foot on the return journey. They must hurry, because they will have a make-up race in two days.

The opponent is the Wolves.

Just returned to Manchester, the Manchester United generals have not recovered from the fatigue of the long-distance flight, they learned a news that surprised them, the head coach of the rival in the same city has changed.

Maybe he knew something, or maybe he felt that he really had nothing to achieve. Mark Hughes offered to resign, and the club agreed to his resignation.

Just three hours, Manchester City announced the new coach, the Italian - Mancini.

At the press conference, Mancini's speech expressed his ambition, "Manchester City's investment should have a more decent position, not now, and I hope to use my own efforts to change this situation."

Nichol curled his lips. He didn't think that Manchester City should have a more decent position. A team with no foundation can't do it just by being rich.

Maybe it's because they just won the Club World Cup. In this game, Manchester United's morale was like a rainbow and they beat their opponents with three goals. Rooney scored a hat-trick and scored three goals. An assist scored.

Just when Manchester United was complacent about the championship and happy with the victory in the league, Coach Ferguson was careless again, perhaps because of injuries. In their second make-up match against Fulham, they scored 0:3 Suffered the biggest defeat of the season, and Nickell, who came off the bench in the second half, was unable to play a role in reversing the situation and had to accept the defeat.

But fortunately, Chelsea scored 1:1 with their opponents in the last round, only leading Manchester United by one point, and did not distance themselves.

Before Christmas, the Manchester United team did not have a good ending, but, one thing, Nickel is still very calm in the face of defeat. He also knows that Manchester United has reached its limit. This defeat may be just the right time, and the club should let Give up some unrealistic fantasies.

Hiddink said in a talk show, "This season, the overall strength of the Manchester United team has declined, and it is no longer the helpless super giants of last season. Now, the league title is worrying, and the defending of the Champions League, I am even more worried about it. Not good."

"Manchester United used to be a war machine, but now they have slowed down." Mourinho also said that the two most influential coaches in the world today are saying that Manchester United's strength has declined, and Ferguson will naturally fight back. Out of Manchester United's league goal data so far this season, it is even more than last season.

The most important festival in the West is Christmas, but for Nicole, this festival is still difficult to compare with the Spring Festival. Although Yang Mi came back with a big family and arranged the home very warmly, but on the surface Nickel, who was full of laughter on the Internet, didn't like it that much.

Of course, the arrival of father-in-law and mother-in-law made the family lively. According to Nicole’s intention, Aunt Huang’s two children also came to Nicole’s house, and everyone had a lively Christmas. Yes, they suggested eating dumplings, which caught Aunt Huang who had prepared western food by surprise. Fortunately, Yang Mi's mother is very skilled in this area. She and Aunt Huang are skilled in making noodles and cooking. Dumpling stuffing, in which Nicole is indispensable, and the whole family enjoys it.

As the saying goes, dumplings are wine, and the more you drink, the better it is. Nichol made an exception and drank a little wine with his father-in-law on Angela's birthday.Perhaps it was because he hadn't drank for a long time, but Nicole was a little drunk, but fortunately he remained sober and did not make a fool of himself.

Nicole also revealed the birthday present he prepared for Angela. It turned out that Nicole found a toy company to design and manufacture a miniature version of the house specially for Angela. This toy house has everything in it. However, all the Everything was scaled down. Although Angela was only one year old, this big toy still aroused her interest. Obviously, the gift her father prepared for her was still very attractive.

In the Christmas match, Manchester United's opponent was Hull City. Although they returned from a big defeat in the last game, Manchester United also temporarily recovered some vitality through the two days of Christmas. Dedicated three goals for the fans, only at the last moment, because the opponent's long-range shot was too tricky, let the opponent score a goal.

But Chelsea failed to keep winning. They drew a goalless draw with Birmingham. Because of Manchester United's victory, they gave up the top spot they had just won. thrilling.

The difference is still one point.

On December 12, Manchester United goalkeeper van der Sar's wife had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. The incident happened before Christmas Eve. Anne-Marie, who was preparing to celebrate Christmas Eve, suddenly fainted and was sent to the hospital for hospital treatment.Due to the injury, Van der Sar was unable to play in the Christmas schedule. There was an accident at home, and the old Dutch goalkeeper rushed to the hospital to take care of his wife.

In this regard, Ferguson approved an indefinite leave for Van der Sart, so that the Manchester United goalkeeper can take care of his wife with peace of mind.Ferguson emphasized that "Van der Sar will never be forced to return to the team." As for the hospitalization of Van der Sar's wife, Rob Jensen, the Manchester United goalkeeper's agent, refused to comment. He insisted that this was Van der Sar's own 'personal issue' , but according to people familiar with the matter, Van der Sar was deeply shocked by his wife's serious illness.The Dutchman, who met his wife at Anne-Marie's brother's grocery store, married in Amsterdam in 2006, with former Manchester United striker Ruud Ruud van Nistelrooy among other guests.Relatives of Van der Sar have reached out to help care for son Joe and daughter Leanne after Anne-Marie was hospitalized.

For Manchester United, 'losing' Van der Sar is obviously a huge loss. Ferguson has always regarded the 39-year-old Dutch veteran as a great goalkeeper at the same level as Schmeichel. And Kutzchak have their own flaws.Although the former is an England national team, he has always made many bizarre mistakes and has been deemed "unreliable" by Ferguson. Although the latter played relatively steadily, due to his young experience in the team, he could not form a good tacit understanding with the defenders. .It is precisely because of this that Manchester United have conceded 18 goals this season, not only more than Chelsea and Aston Villa, but also equal to Birmingham controlled by Chinese owner Yang Jiacheng.

Although the Platini-style Champions League draw made many fans feel worried, the friendship between players often breaks through the cages of 'mortal enemies' and 'opponents', and writes a good story on the football field. On the evening of the 30th, Philippe Inzaghi, who was far away in Milan, sent a warm blessing to the Champions League knockout opponent through Milan's official website.

As an opponent, Inzaghi said, "I hope that when the Champions League knockout round starts in February next year, the two can reunite in the Champions League and have a good drink." '

There is a close personal relationship between Van der Sar and Inzaghi. Inzaghi emphasized the extraordinary relationship between the two in his speech on Milan's official website, "At that time, I was troubled by endless injuries. I was in Antwerp Doing recovery training, van der Sar was at Manchester United and was playing Antwerp. He came to visit me in the hotel, went to my room, asked me how I was doing. He was a gentleman and a great player. So his family happened. Some accidents, I will not sit idly by, I sincerely hope his wife can recover soon. Our teams will meet in the UEFA Champions League in February, and I hope I can play against him on the field."

In fact, they played for the same team earlier. Van der Sar played for the Serie A powerhouse Juventus from 1998 to 2001, and Inzaghi was one year earlier. He played for Juventus in 1997. And in 2001 transferred to the current club AC Milan.The three years of working together laid a solid foundation for their friendship.After eight years, the confrontation on the court has never been able to cut off the friendship between the two people. The sympathy between them has become a rare bright color in the slightly impetuous modern football circle.

After learning that his teammate's wife was seriously ill, Manchester United's players expressed their best wishes to Van der Sar's wife in various ways. Nickel said in an interview with reporters, "They are an enviable couple. , God will bless them, because they are good people, and I believe that good people will be rewarded."

Perhaps it is because Manchester United's recent games are too dense, so the match between Manchester United and Wigan Athletic was postponed to
Held on the last day of 2009.

Before the game, Nicole and his teammates made full preparations and elaborate drills.

And today's Old Trafford stadium is not the same as before. There are slogans everywhere in the stadium, almost all of which are fans' comfort and support for Van der Sar.

Under the leadership of Nicole, Manchester United played the best game of the season. They slaughtered their opponents with five goals. Valencia also scored a goal in the face of the former owner. Nicole and Rooney each scored twice. Spend.

Every time they scored a goal, they ran to the sidelines and lifted up their jerseys, "God bless! Anne-Marie is safe!" This touching scene appeared five times in total, earning enough shots from reporters.

"They are doing well, thank you!" Van der Sar said with emotion when he learned of this situation.

There is another meaning to this game.

When Valencia sealed the score at 5-0 with an outside instep goal, Manchester United must have prepared champagne for Ferguson and his players. In the last battle of 2009, Manchester United scored enough goal difference to tie the season's biggest point difference.Manchester United's last 5-goal victory dates back to more than 4 months ago, and the opponent is also Wigan, but tonight has an extra layer of meaning. On December 12, Ferguson's birthday, Manchester United soldiers celebrated Ferguson's 31th birthday with a big victory.

The English media came up with data before the game. Since Wigan first landed in the Premier League in the 05/06 season, there have been 10 confrontations in the history of the two sides, plus a total of 11 Manchester United victories tonight (including a League Cup).If only the league is counted, Manchester United have scored 5 goals and conceded 10 goals in 31 games against Wigan in the past 5 years, with a goal difference of 26 goals!The data in the last year is even more exaggerated. Wigan sent Manchester United 1 goal difference (4 goals) in 12 confrontations, and the average goal difference reached 15 goals per game.

With the number of injuries gradually decreasing, Manchester United will definitely step up to catch up with the Blues. After Christmas, it has always been their forte. If they can successfully win the first four consecutive Premier League titles next year, Ferguson will undoubtedly be happy.

Recently, Manchester United's defense has been plagued by injuries. In recent days, there have been frequent reports of injuries and recovery, and the shortage of personnel has improved.The three defenders, Vidic, Brown and Rafael, have all recovered from injury and played the game. The central defender combination of Vidic and Brown has been tested in the Christmas schedule.During the absence of the generals, Fletcher and Carrick were "forced" to play guards to make up for the lack of defense.The old captain Gary Neville and the teenager Evans will also return to the team next month, which undoubtedly gave the best birthday present to Ferguson, who has just passed his 68th birthday.

　A new month has begun, and Wukong will continue to maintain the update speed. Although it is not fast, it is better than stability. Thank you for your support!
