The strongest winger

Chapter 606 It's the League Championship Game

The next day, football newspapers in Europe and around the world were all about Chelsea beating Liverpool 3-1 away.

However, at this time, Chelsea coach Mourinho had already taken his assistant Villas-Boas on a flight to Barcelona. They wanted to closely observe the game status of the weekend league opponents - Manchester United players and the team's backup tactics in crisis situations.

The UEFA Champions League semi-final at the Nou Camp was not much different from what the media expected before the game. It was basically dominated by Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United won a penalty in the first minute with a breakthrough from Cristiano Ronaldo, and then made the penalty himself, and the away team led the game 1-1.

Five minutes later, Messi and Barcelona's frontcourt players played exquisite cooperation, then broke into the penalty area and scored the ball to equalize the score.

The ensuing game was as agreed with each other, you come and go, but you just didn't score a goal.

It is worth mentioning that in the second half of the game, the director of the Camp Nou Stadium had very vicious eyes. He even found Mourinho and Villas-Boas who came to watch the game among [-] fans, and then gave them a close-up of their faces.

Immediately, it caused a burst of comments from the commentators in the studio.

Of course, this scene was also seen by Ferguson in the visiting team's command area.

He was very upset. Why did the same strong team have such a big difference in results?Why can Chelsea beat Liverpool 3:1 away, why can't Manchester United beat Barcelona away?It's really a headache.

Immediately, he thought of the 36th round of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on the weekend.

If the game at the Nou Camp ends in a draw, then returning to Old Trafford in the second round will still feel a lot of pressure, and it will be difficult to focus on the league, which means it will affect the next league. If you can't invest more energy, it means that you will miss the Premier League champion this season...

Headache!

When people are old, they tend to lack energy.

Ferguson rubbed his temples on both sides of his forehead and felt a little more comfortable before returning his attention to the game.

No matter what, this game is the top priority!
Champions League champions... Manchester United have been lost for eight years, it is time to bring back Old Trafford!
Thinking of this, Ferguson began to dispatch troops, replacing veteran Giggs and Park Ji-sung to strengthen the sense of attack.

But this is the largest stadium in Europe - Camp Nou!In other words, this is not Manchester United's home court, and it cannot exert its full strength anyway.

In the end, Manchester United drew 1:1 with Barcelona in the away game.

Although they only got a draw, what is rare is that they got a priceless away goal. As long as they draw 0:0 with Barcelona at home in the second round, they can advance to the Champions League final of this season!

※※※

After the game, the media in England was full of quarrels. Judging from the current situation, no matter which team Chelsea or Liverpool qualify for the final, in the second half of the second half of the semi-final, Manchester United will return to home and eliminate Barcelona to enter this season's Champions League final.

That is to say... There will be such a scene in history-the Premier League teams meet in the Champions League final!

What a beautiful picture this is!

The British media is like writing a beautiful fairy tale, portraying the Premier League team meeting in the Champions League final as the prince and princess in the fairy tale, and then live happily ever after...

When everyone's attention is on which two teams will qualify for the Champions League final, the managers of Chelsea and Manchester United are respectively focusing on the 36th round of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

This is a game that concerns the ownership of the Premier League champion this season, and it cannot be sloppy.

According to Ferguson's idea is to beat Chelsea by a big score in the away game, so that they have no confidence in the league, so that they can win the league championship this season, so... Manchester United, who are at Stamford Bridge this time, are ready to attack!

It's just that next week there will be a key battle in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, and it is unlikely that all energy will be put into this league. After all, the temptation of the Champions League champion is much greater than the temptation of the league champion, and...the opponent Chelsea also has more players than Manchester United in this round of the league. Because they have beaten Liverpool 3-1 away, there is no need to send all the main players in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at home. As long as the players are in good condition, the number of players that can be rotated is also very large...

no advantage...

But Ferguson still does not want to give up the league title!Because he wants to tell everyone... Manchester United is the overlord of the Premier League!
In order to be able to win Chelsea in the away game, Ferguson intends to talk to Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been in very good form recently.

In the just-concluded Champions League semi-final, Aiello performed a hat-trick to increase his number of goals in the UEFA Champions League to 17 goals in a single season, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi only scored 13 goals, four away from Aiello's goal. Ferguson knew that this is the best time to stimulate his disciples!
On the afternoon of Manchester United's return to Manchester, after completing a day of training at the Carrington training base, Cristiano Ronaldo called Rooney to train with him as usual, so as to maintain the league status at Stamford Bridge on the weekend...

But this time he had to change his plans because Ferguson found him.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not surprised by Ferguson's call, but he was a little confused about his knowledge. Logically speaking...I have already surpassed the 45+ goals in all competitions this season, so...what can I do with myself?
With deep doubts, Cristiano Ronaldo knocked on the door of the head coach's office.

"come in……"

Opening the door, Ferguson was the only one sitting at the desk in the office, with a pair of thick eyes, and his right hand was still lightly holding the mouse and pressing it.

Seeing that it was Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson stopped what he was doing with a smile, stood up from the boss's chair, and said with a smile, "It's not the first time I've come here, so just sit down..."

Cristiano Ronaldo unexpectedly did not sit down, but continued to stand in front of the sofa.

Ferguson glanced at his disciple suspiciously, with a serious expression, and he was still wearing training uniforms. With years of experience, he could see at a glance the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo did not sit down, so he said directly: "I just want to ask you about the league match at Stamford Bridge this weekend. What do you think?"

"I want to win!" Cristiano Ronaldo said decisively after hearing the words, his eyes were full of desire to win.

Ferguson looked up at Cristiano Ronaldo with satisfaction. The cyclist boy back then has really grown up. His playing style has changed from being particularly flashy to being practical now, and his aggressiveness has also risen in a straight line. If it is not as unexpected, the future of world football will be the Chinese from Chelsea, the Argentine from Barcelona, ​​and the disciples in front of him.

"Okay, I want to win too!" Ferguson smiled and waved his hands: "But... the training should be done in moderation, don't let yourself be crippled by training, go..."

Cristiano Ronaldo is no nonsense, the game is coming soon, if you can train more, you can train more. After all, in his mind, the person he wants to surpass is really too strong... Even though he is training hard every day, but...there is still a huge difference.

Respectfully take the door of the office, and then run to the training ground.

Ferguson shook his head and walked towards the window. As the founder of the Manchester United dynasty, how could he fail to see the potential of those young players?
Let's just say... Cristiano Ronaldo was born at the wrong time.

"Hey, Wayne, let's practice extra free kicks!"

At this moment, the voice of Cristiano Ronaldo came from not far away, and Ferguson turned his head to look.

It didn't take long before he forcibly erased the thoughts from his mind just now. Sometimes... the hard work of the day after tomorrow is also very important!He believed that the disciple he valued the most would definitely be no worse than that Chinese and Argentine!

※※※

With only three rounds left in the league, Chelsea leads No.2 Manchester United by three points, and the goal difference is three more than the opponent. The remaining two league opponents are Newcastle and Bolton. In other words, as long as Chelsea does not lose more than three goals at home, then this season's Premier League champion will also properly win the league championship. It would be even better if they draw or win the game...

Although Mourinho cannot be said to be the best head coach in the world, he is definitely the head coach with the strongest personality in the world. He absolutely cannot allow the team to lose a game at home, especially to a rival for the league title!

This is totally impossible!

Coupled with the fact that the current Chelsea can be said to not have any pressure to enter the Champions League final, they can fully exert their combat effectiveness in the next league.

At the regular press conference before the game, Mourinho said in an interview with reporters: "There is no doubt that Chelsea will win the league game at Stamford Bridge tonight!"

"Where does the confidence come from?" There is no doubt that the reporter who asked such an aggressive question must be a local reporter in Manchester.

Mourinho glanced condescendingly at the Manchester reporter, grinned and said, "Because... I am! Jose Mourinho!!"

For the British media, it has been a long time since Mourinho gave such a generous answer, which is really nostalgic!
That's right!This is the most personal coach in the world - Jose Mourinho!

In the evening league, Mourinho's lineup did not change much from the first leg of the away game against Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final in the middle of the week. He made two changes in position: Bridge replaced Ferreira at right back, and the midfielder changed from Mikel to the more experienced Makelele.

Similarly, the same is true for Manchester United, with the main force out.

Even if there is a life-and-death battle with Barcelona at home in the middle of next week!

Because... this is a match for the League Championship!
