The most low-key superstar

Chapter 382 The Champion Sent

"I admit, at the last moment I was too scared to watch, my head was in Jerry's arms, but, God bless, we made it through, and next, we went to Lyon. I hope there will be no more thrills. The scene." A female fan who was still blushing was interviewed by reporters at the exit.

"The Germans are very manly, they are worthy of respect, but the final winner is us, and our Red Devils will continue to sweep Europe." The bearded fans looked indifferent, as if Manchester United's last moment of embarrassment didn't worry him at all.

"It's very thrilling. Only such a victory can have an aftertaste. However, I don't want to experience it again."

"Very good, thrilling, exciting, absolutely blockbuster, I like it!"

"I think it's a bit early for Nicole to go off the field. If Nicole continued to play for another 10 minutes, maybe it wouldn't be like this."

"God forbid, Nicole is still our captain at Manchester United and I hope he stays here for the rest of his career."

"..."

"This is the report sent back by reporter Anthony at the scene, thank you."

"Well, we just passed the report from the reporter from the front. Most fans are still very worried about the last moment. This is also a topic we will discuss after the game, that is, the last 10 minutes. What happened to bring the situation to a close, we listen to ex-England striker and our old friend Gary Lineker."

"Hello, I'm your friend Lineker. I watched the live broadcast at home. Manchester United's performance in the last period was confusing. In fact, this is a normal thing. In my opinion, there are three reasons. First, after Bayern Munich lost the pressure after being desperate, they played very relaxed, their overall rhythm kicked out, and the situation developed in their favor. Controlling the midfield and turning into a comprehensive retreat, I think this is a mistake made by Coach Ferguson. In the end, it is a problem that we all did not pay attention to. Everyone ignored Carrick's role in the team. In this game, Carrick Carrick was injured and left the field, which seriously damaged Manchester United's defensive system. After a long period of observation, when Carrick and Nickell were both on the court, Manchester United conceded the least number of goals. Field defense..."

"Okay, thanks to Lineker for the great commentary, this is Sky TV, enter a commercial, don't walk away, we'll be right back."

Snapped!The TV was turned off, "Okay, guys, it's time for us to go home, go back and have a good sleep, there is good news, that is, tomorrow's training is cancelled." Perrin walked into the locker room and announced to the players who were still afraid This so-called good news.

"Oh..." There was only a small cheer, most people were not in a good mood, and the feeling of remaining alive after the catastrophe was still very strong...

"Nicole, can we make it to the finals?" Rafael asked Nicole in a low voice. It seemed that this young man had been hit hard and had doubts about the future of the team.

"Don't think about it, we will definitely make it to the finals, no accidents will happen." Nichols pretended to be very casual, but he was thinking in his heart, "Maybe it's a good thing. After this time, everyone will not go to the finals." Belittle their opponents, it will be difficult for Lyon to stop the serious Manchester United team."

Lyon's game ended a few minutes earlier than Manchester United's. Thanks to modern advanced information technology, Manchester United's players already knew that their opponent in the next round was Lyon before returning to the dressing room.

Although Lyon lost, but in the first leg, Lyon established a two-goal advantage, Bordeaux only scored one goal at home, Lyon advanced to the semi-finals, and they will play against Manchester United on April 4 The first round of the game.Because in the group stage, Lyon only qualified as No.21 in the group, so they will play the home game first.

This time Bayern's crazy counterattack did teach the Manchester United players a good lesson, and it also sounded the alarm for Coach Ferguson, that is, Manchester United's lineup is not so perfect now, that is, Manchester United must learn to play without it. Nickel's case kicks.

Obviously, Nichol's role in the team is already very huge. Whether he plays or not has determined the level of Manchester United's performance. In other words, with the current Manchester United lineup, it will be difficult to compete with some super players The team competed.

'I should discuss with David about the lineup for next season when I go back. 'This is the voice of Ferguson after he walked out of the press conference.

After Manchester United's dangerous pass, Inter Milan scored another 1:0. They did not give CSKA Moscow any chance and entered the semi-finals with their heads held high. Another team in the Premier League, Arsenal led by Professor Arsene Wenger, had almost no suspense Lost the game at the Nou Camp, the scene was extremely ugly, 1:4 Wenger's Arsenal was completely defeated.

"The era of the Premier League's domination of the Champions League is coming to an end. Now the only thing left is the defending champion Manchester United. They were almost eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. This is in stark contrast to the last two seasons."

In The Times, Morrison commented on Manchester United's uniqueness now, "UEFA's initiative to prosper the Champions League has been successful, regardless of the factors that improve the strength of other teams, and do not consider the decline of the strength of the Premier League team." The problem, just referring to UEFA's methods, it is already a miracle that Manchester United can break into the semi-finals. In my opinion, in the first round of the match, the unwarranted penalty was by no means accidental, but Bayern did not make good use of it That's all. '

I have to say that the match against Bayern still had a great impact on Manchester United. In the away game against Blackburn, Manchester United was completely out of shape. If it wasn't for a good defense, it would be difficult to get out of the body. 0: A score of 0 becomes the final result.

This result rekindled new hopes for Chelsea. They beat Bolton 1-0 at home and successfully narrowed the point difference to 5 points.There are still four rounds in the league, and it is not hopeless.

Similarly, Arsenal's defeat in Barcelona also affected their performance in the league. In the derby, they lost to Tottenham, who had performed well this season. Strong, while Liverpool continued their sluggish state and failed to beat Fulham at home. Their Champions League goals for next season are getting farther and farther away from them.

And England coach Fabio Capello is constantly inspecting players. He must determine England's squad for the World Cup at the end of the season. The degree of excitement has been greatly improved.

Before going to France, Manchester City ushered in another festival, that is the derby between Manchester City and Manchester United.Mancini has made strides in the first half of the season in just a few months since moving to blue City, who are now fifth in the league, just behind fourth-placed Tottenham The team has two points, and there are still four rounds in the league. They are very hopeful to break into the UEFA Champions League next season.

It can be said that Mancini has already won the initial approval of Manchester City fans. Now Manchester City fans no longer have the feeling of looking up when they meet Manchester United fans, because Manchester United fans often use, "Although you Rich, but we are champions." To taunt them, now Mancini's team has the strength to attack the championship.

Before the game, Mancini said, "This is an opportunity for us, an opportunity for us to say goodbye to the past, defeat them, then we will start to rise this season, if we lose, then we will start from the next season. The season is over."

But Coach Ferguson was as dismissive as ever, "Football is football, money can't make you a champion."

There are quite a few Manchester City fans near Nicole's house, and the relationship between Yang Mi and them is not bad. They often hold some small buffet parties and drink afternoon tea together.

Because there was no training that day, Nicole’s house welcomed a few neighbors in the afternoon. They came to chat and drink tea with Yang Mi. Nicole knew that Yang Mi wanted to fully integrate into the British life. , Nicole is supported.

A few women were chatting in the living room, and Nichol would occasionally come over to say a few words. After all, he was the host, so it was impossible for him not to entertain at all.

"Nicole, I think you should come to Manchester City to play football. To be honest, that Yankee only knows how to make money, and he doesn't want those Middle Easterners. He will do whatever it takes to get results."

"Hehe..." Nicole laughed when he heard that, but he didn't answer. This question is very complicated, and Nicole didn't want to answer it.

Seeing that Nicole avoided talking about it, the neighbor didn't say anything more. Obviously, this is not her main topic, but she just heard her husband say, 'If Manchester City has Nicole, then we will soon Be the king of Europe. '

With a rich owner, everything in the club will look different from before. A few seasons ago, the city stadium was an ordinary stadium dominated by gray, without any luxurious decorations. Now it is different, after continuous renovation , the current City Stadium is already a very modern and luxurious stadium. The difference from the Old Trafford Stadium is not big enough, but the capacity of more than 4 people and nearly 5 people is already very magnificent in England.

The blue ocean created by Manchester City fans did not submerge the little red. The team commanded by Mancini is very close to a super team in terms of skills and tactics. However, in front of the old and spicy Manchester United team, they are still difficult to dominate , at least not yet.

0:1 Although the blue team took the initiative on the scene, a wonderful pass from Nicole helped Rooney pass the barrier alone and scored the only goal of the game.

After the game, Mancini admitted, "We still have a gap from our rivals in the same city, and we need to work harder." But in private, Mancini still complained to the club's CEO, "We lack a player who can take on heavy responsibilities." At the core, there is a lack of a standard bearer who can stand up at critical moments. '

The Arabs knew that what Mancini was complaining about was Nicole. In the previous negotiations, they had promised to try their best to bring him to the city stadium. They still had great hopes for this transfer at the beginning, because Glazer The family needed cash very much at that time, and in private contact, Glazer did not say that Nicole was not for sale, but Ferguson's determination and Nicole's statement dashed their hopes.

After defeating Manchester United, when Nicole and his teammates got on the plane and were about to head to France, there was good news at the airport that Chelsea had lost, and Tottenham Hotspur seemed to be the best team this season. Embarking on a broad road, they defeated the Blues Chelsea 2:1 at home without any suspense, sending Manchester United to the championship.

"The championship? Why doesn't it feel real?" This is the first feeling of many Manchester United players. They have been biting tightly with Chelsea this season, but they are so surprised that they really won the championship.

"We are not ready to be champions. It is always better to get it from others than to get it by ourselves." Nickel didn't like this championship.

------

Lyon's record this season is surprising. They are the best in the league. More importantly, they are so lucky. In the group stage, it was difficult for them to qualify. The re-emerged Fiorentina team and the Premier League giants The Red Army Liverpool will definitely occupy two qualifying places.

However, they did not expect that they would run into Liverpool, which had internal problems this season, defeating Fiorentina and Liverpool in a row, and qualified with their heads held high.

In the round of [-], they encountered Real Madrid, the new Galactico team carefully built by Frentino. At home, they used a resolute defensive counterattack to repel Real Madrid, and then tenaciously defended the tie in the away game. The opponent was eliminated, which broke the biggest upset of the Champions League this season.

In the quarter-finals, Bordeaux was not their opponent at all. Like Real Madrid, Lyon first established an advantage at home, and then used their tenacious defense to grind out their opponents away.

Now that the Manchester United team is here, Lyon is full of confidence in this. According to their ideas, they will beat their opponents at home as they did the last two times, and then use their tenacious defense to force their opponents out in the away game.

In an interview with reporters, the head coach Puel even uttered wild words, "Lyon has been advancing step by step along our road to winning the championship. The model of defeating Real Madrid and Bordeaux will be successfully replicated by us. The boys are ready. They can't wait to go to the Bernabeu."

The top scorer in the team, Argentine Delgado, also said in an interview with a TV reporter on the day Manchester United arrived, "Manchester United is an old strong team, but they are too old, and now it is the world of young people. I'm going to teach them how to score goals."

"Manchester United also has a lot of young people?"

"They? Hope they can block my goal?" Delgado's eyes were full of contempt.

The romanticism of the French is evident on the court. Lyon is a small city, and their stadium can only accommodate 4 people. However, this very small stadium compared to the Theater of Dreams has created a strong home stadium for the fans. Atmosphere, Nicole looked at the various slogans and posters on the court, and the feeling of revisiting the old place was so clear.

As soon as he got off the plane, a reporter told Nickell about the arrogance of the Lyonians, and their contempt for Manchester United aroused Nickel's anger, "I hope he can have a chance to score, I really look forward to him Come teach us how to play football."

As for Coach Ferguson, he laughed off the opponent's provocation, "I'm looking forward to it."

However, at the pre-match pre-match meeting, the Manchester United players were excited, and they all expressed that they would teach the arrogant boys of Lyon a lesson.

Seeing that the momentum of the players under him had risen, Ferguson showed a tricky smile on the corner of his mouth. That's right, it was Ferguson's intention. He didn't follow the usual practice of sparring with his opponent, but took all the opponent's remarks Collect them and show them to the players. In this way, the provocation of the Lyon team becomes the anger and passion of the Manchester United players.

Compared to the game between Manchester United and Lyon, the eyes of the world fans are all on Inter Milan's home San Siro, where an 'early final' was staged before the Manchester United game. Mourinho's Inter Milan vs. Gua Diola's Barcelona team.

In response to Barcelona's pervasive offensive system, Mourinho brought his team's defensive concept to the extreme, using full-court squeeze tactics and quick counterattacks to beat Barcelona to the ground.

3:1, Inter Milan defeated the proud Barcelona team. In the words of Mourinho, "All the work, we have done it this year, and the rest is to win, no matter who the opponent is. "

At the Gerland Stadium, Lyon's coach Puel's starting lineup is already the best he can send. Goalkeeper Lloris, defenders Revier, Chris, Toulalang, Sissoko, midfielder Go Nrons, Karlstrom, Ederson, Pjanic, the forwards are the arrogant Delgado and Lisandro.

In the player tunnel, Nicole saw the Argentine with a big mouth, Delgado, for the first time, and Delgado was also watching Nicole, who is known as one of the best players in the world, Nicole Williams.

Ferguson's lineup is very neat this time. Thanks to Tottenham, Ferguson finally doesn't have to worry about fighting on the two fronts. Their mission in the league has been completed, and now they can devote all their energy to the Champions League.

"Coach Ferguson's starting list is goalkeeper Van der Sar, defender Rafael, Evans, Vidic, Evra, midfielder Nicole, Valencia, Giggs, Fletcher, Anderson, striker Owen Oh, it's Irving, no one thought that Sir Alex Ferguson's starting list would be like this, our pre-match guessing completely failed, it was unexpected."
