Football irons are burning

Chapter 335 Three Lianping

The other few games in the Champions League were also uneventful. Real Madrid defeated Arsenal 2:0 and advanced 6:1 in two rounds.

Arsenal once again extinguished the hope of winning the Champions League. After so many years, there is still no Champions League champion. Wenger is probably questioned in the hearts of Arsenal fans, right?
In the two games, they were tightly suppressed by Real Madrid, which is really a bit sad.

Their players are not lacking in talent, what exactly are they lacking?

Maybe it's the temperament of a champion.

Chelsea drew with Valencia and advanced to the semi-finals 3:1 in two rounds.

Mourinho's team is indeed very solid defensively, and of course it is no problem to deal with Valencia, whose strength has plummeted.

Bayern and Deportivo also played 2:2, and Bayern reached the semi-finals 4:2.

At the Riazor Stadium, Depor still fought hard, but it was a pity that he fell short in the end. Bayern scored twice in the first half and lost hope of promotion early.

The situation of the semi-finals, Manchester United vs Real Madrid, Chelsea vs Bayern.

比赛时间，第一回合是4月15日、16日，第二回合则是4月29日，30日。

The two Premier League teams are home first and then away, this time it is a bit troublesome.

The Premier League team once again occupies two seats in the semi-finals, which also makes the Premier League likely to continue to lead the European football standings this season.

Regarding the prospect of the semi-finals, there are different opinions this time. The four teams are all very strong. It is normal for anyone to enter the finals.

Entering the final stage of the league, the leagues of various countries are also very intense.

Needless to say in the Premier League, Manchester United leads by 10 points, which is an obvious advantage.

La Liga is a duo, with Barcelona leading Real Madrid by 3 points.

Serie A is the top three. AC Milan is currently leading No.2 Roma by 3 points. The joining of Li Jinyu has increased the attack power of AC Milan. He and Shevchenko teamed up and scored 60 goals in the league.

Inter Milan is 5 points behind the top of the list, and there is no hope of defending the title, but it is more difficult.

After selling a large number of champion members, Inter Milan's strength has declined too much. Fortunately, goalkeeper Petr Cech is still the pinnacle of the sea. Otherwise, Inter Milan's ranking this season will be even lower.

The Serie A environment has begun to decline, and the business of the Moratti family is also shrinking. Therefore, it is unlikely that Inter Milan will have the previous big money in the future.

Fortunately, Moratti has completed two trebles, which can be regarded as worthy of Inter Milan fans and comfort to the big Inter Milan back then.

The Bundesliga is still dominated by Bayern, and he, the German players, is all gathered together. The joining of Ballack has greatly improved Bayern's midfield strength, and Bayern's dominance has also been greatly strengthened.

Leverkusen is still the second in the millennium, and the status of these two teams will not change. Fortunately, Leverkusen bought Essien from Manchester United, which effectively strengthened the defense in the middle, and cooperated with other players.

Kaiserslautern has gone downhill in an all-round way, with the loss of stars and the decline of strength. How can this guarantee the results?

This season, the Red Devils have fallen out of the top six.

In a few more seasons, it is estimated that it will be time to fight for relegation.

It is said that time has passed and circumstances have changed, who is in charge of the ups and downs of the country?It's just a new look.

In the 31st round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Fulham at home.

Li Tie was suspended and continued to watch from the sidelines. He rarely sat in a box in the stands to watch the game, and Liu Fei brought a few children by his side. This was considered a leisure time.

The strength of the opponent is average. Fulham is currently ranked 12th in the league. It is typical to be more than inferior than inferior, and there is no worry about relegation.

However, before the end of the game, the score of 0:0 left the fans of Old Trafford stunned.

Fulham adopted Chelsea's tactics and defended the whole game with the goal of 1 point.

They finally succeeded!

Without Li Tie, Manchester United would not have won. This is really a strange thing.

In the whole game, Manchester United had an absolute advantage, with 24 shots, none of which were scored.

The young striker Dong Fangzhuo and Saha didn't call each other. The two were doing their own things. As a result, a goal was not scored.

In the closing stages of the league, this situation is not good.

After the game, Queiroz also criticized the two, believing that they did not call each other and lacked the awareness of active cooperation.

In fact, Saha does have a certain degree of selfishness. He is 25 years old and desperately hopes to gain a foothold in Manchester United, at least to become a striker rotation player.

However, since the winter break, he only got a few chances to play, which made him very unwilling.

And Dong Fangzhuo is only 17 years old, and he is already the main striker of Manchester United, which makes Saha feel a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, in the game, Saha did not pass the ball several times that should have been passed.

This also made Dong Fangzhuo quite dissatisfied. He didn't communicate with Saha, anyway, he didn't pass it on to Saha.

As a result, it was all right now, one plus one equals zero.

There's nothing they can do about it, the two of them are the only ones available on the forward line, and the others are all injured. In the next game, the two of them will have to work together.

If Queiroz is more courageous, he can also use a single striker directly. Manchester United players are not weak, and a single striker does not necessarily mean he cannot win.

Fortunately, in another game, the strong dialogue between Chelsea and Manchester City also ended in a draw, and Manchester United was able to continue to lead by 10 points.

The performance of Mourinho's team is not stable this season, and the opponent is also strong. For them, this point is simply a drop in the bucket.

In the middle of the week, the FA Cup semi-final was played at Highbury Stadium.

Manchester United lost 0:1 away to Arsenal, and the dream of the Grand Slam was shattered.

The team is still adapting to the game without Li Tie, coupled with the team's sluggish state, the entire game was suppressed by the opponent.

It is always impossible for a team to maintain a good state throughout the season, and now is the most vulnerable time for Manchester United.

Coupled with Li Tie's suspension, it will also have a certain impact on his teammates.

Accustomed to Li Tiezai's style of play, it is obviously difficult for the players to adjust in a short time.

The coaching staff is also responsible for this. After all, Queiroz is still far behind Ferguson. In this game, he actually played a double striker. Saha and Dong Fangzhuo still did not call. Dong Fangzhuo was a little more modest. He even gave Saha several good passes during the game, but Saha wasted them all.

That being the case, why not change tactics?
And Keane and Cantona are even more tactical rookies.

It's okay to be in charge of offensive and defensive tactics. If they want to command the team as a whole, both of them are a little tender.

Henry scored a penalty just before the whistle to help Arsenal eliminate Manchester United.

Li Tie was also helpless about this. He originally wanted to win more honors. However, he was suspended, so there was no other way. This championship, let's take it again next season.

Everyone has regrets.

This season, the remaining two champions must strive for it with all their strength.

Enter April.

Manchester United ushered in tough Liverpool.

As a result, the score was 0:0 again, and Manchester United suffered a three-game tie in the league.

Throughout the game, Manchester United lacked imagination in the middle. Scholes couldn't play Li Tie's football, and the two wings were also severely restricted by Liverpool.

In this game, Queiroz partnered with the injured Solskjaer and Dong Fangzhuo, but Solskjaer's condition was also not good. He hadn't touched the ball for a long time, and he was sleepwalking throughout the game.

Without a leg, walking is of course unstable.

Dong Fangzhuo was active, but it would be much easier for the opponent to mark him.

32轮比赛之后，曼联26胜4平2负积82分继续排在第一，领先本来赢下桑德兰的切尔西只有8分了。

This score is still relatively high. In the last six rounds, if Manchester United score 18 points, they will be able to break through [-] points. This is also a rare high score.

There will be 6 more rounds in the league, with a gap of 8 points. This gives Chelsea hope again. Of course, it is just hope.

How easy is it to catch up to 8 points in six rounds?

This is also a kind of comfort to the fans. Until the last moment, hope will always be given to you, and when the hope is finally shattered, you will feel even more pain in your heart!
