Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 263 A goal is too easy for me
"Welcome back!"

When Yu Liang appeared on the training ground of the first team, Rooney, Ronaldo and Dong Wang immediately applauded there to welcome him.The career of the reserve team has sublimated the friendship between them.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, after losing 1-2 away to Roma, Manchester United, who returned to the league, also encountered a Waterloo away game. They lost to their opponents by the same score as a guest at Portsmouth.

In another game in the same round, Chelsea beat Tottenham 1-0 at home.In this way, Manchester United is only six points ahead of No.2 Chelsea in the standings. The league title once again encountered a strong challenge from Chelsea.

In the 34th round, Manchester United will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea.Originally, this duel between dragons and tigers would attract the attention of hundreds of millions of fans, but due to the FA Cup schedule, this game was postponed and put on the last round of the league. Will it be possible then? Become a high-profile Premier League title race without knowing it!
But now Manchester United's most important task is to break through the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

After losing 1-2 to Roma in the first leg, although Ferguson said in front of the media that this was a victory and scored a valuable away goal, they still had a lot of pressure.

Because in the two rounds of the game, Manchester United and Serie A teams met a total of 7 times, of which 5 times were eliminated.The only two promotions were completed in the season when they won the Triple Crown in 98/99, and they eliminated Inter Milan and Juventus in a row!Except for the game against Rome this year, the last time Manchester United played against a Serie A team was in 05, when they played against AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. As a result, Manchester United lost 0-1 to AC Milan in both rounds.

Although these are all past tense, the Italian media never tire of reporting them.

Because there are many strange curses in the football circle, such as Benfica's Gutman curse, Pele's crow's mouth and so on.These things sound superstitious, but many people in the football circle are very taboo about these topics.As the Red Devils coach, Ferguson is no exception.

But what he was afraid of was not that these curses would imprison them and prevent them from advancing.

On the contrary, he maintains a lot of confidence in the team's promotion, because they only need one goal to return home, and they will be able to send Rome home.

What he cares about is that these media reports will become the psychological pressure on the players and affect their preparations.

With this concern, Ferguson came to the training ground.

Seeing Rooney and the others laughing and fighting together, Ferguson felt that his worries were a little unnecessary.In this case, he decided to set the players on fire.

"Okay, guys!" Ferguson walked to the sidelines, blew the whistle hanging around his neck, and gathered the players together, "The second round against Rome will be ushered in the night after tomorrow. We were sentenced to death before the game even started! The Italians think they can advance to the semi-finals!"

All the players looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand where Roma had such great confidence.

Yes, they won the first leg, but the advantage is not great. Manchester United only need one goal to eliminate them at home.

"Do you think so too?"

Ferguson frowned immediately when he saw that the players didn't move the ball at all.

"Crazy! No, I mean are they crazy?"

"That's right, they are suffering from wishful thinking!"

"I think their heads were kicked by donkeys!"

The players started talking in twos and threes, and everyone thought that the Romans were whimsical.

"No!" That's what Ferguson wanted, and after the players had discussed it for a while, he said, "They're not crazy, they're not delusional, and their heads haven't been kicked by donkeys. They're just determined to play The breakthrough in the Champions League, they just think that we can be ravaged like plasticine! If you want to be treated as plasticine, then you can be plasticine and be slaughtered in the game the day after tomorrow. If you don’t want to, I am very happy Looking forward to tomorrow's match!"

"In no mood!"

The uniform shouts of the players resounded throughout Carrington.

Even the people in the Manchester City training base who are separated by a small forest can hear it.

This is the cry from the king.

After Ferguson finished his speech, the training started soon.

After the lap warm-up, the players who participated in the game against Portsmouth followed the physical coach for recovery training.Players who did not participate in the game followed the assistant coach Queiroz for daily training.

With Ferguson's speech earlier, the enthusiasm of the players was all mobilized, and in an instant Carrington's first-team training ground was in full swing.

While Manchester United's players were training in full swing at the Carrington base, the plane of the Roma players landed at Manchester Airport.

The attention paid to the quarter-finals of the Champions League is unparalleled in the Champions League group stage.

When the Roma players walked out of the airport, they were immediately surrounded by swarms of fans and reporters.

In the face of enthusiastic fans, the players of the Roma team have met the requirements of the fans, taking group photos and signing autographs.As for the reporters, they were not satisfied one by one. Only the coach Spalletti and captain Totti accepted the interviews from the reporters.

In an interview with reporters, Roma coach Spalletti said: "The game the day after tomorrow will be a difficult game, but I hope to achieve a satisfactory result at Old Trafford!"

Compared with Spalletti's taciturn answer, Totti appeared more confident. When he was interviewed by the media, he bluntly said, "Yes, to advance! This is my goal. I hope to dedicate a victory to the The fans who have always supported us. We have achieved good results away from home this season, and we have the ability to beat the opponent!"

He is far ahead in the Serie A scorer list this season, and he may win his first Serie A Golden Boot.

The constant scoring has allowed him to accumulate more confidence, and it has also made him full of desire for the Champions League honor. He is eager to lead Roma to the final.Since losing to Liverpool on penalties in the Champions League final in the 83/84 season, they have not reached the Champions League final for more than 20 consecutive years.Even the quarter-finals of the Champions League is the best result in the European war in more than 20 years.Such a result is indeed a bit shabby for a Serie A "big family".So Totti hopes to bring more championships to the team within a limited career.

Totti's words, in the eyes of Manchester United players, are a joke.

After training in the second afternoon, at the pre-match press conference, Cristiano Ronaldo responded to Totti on behalf of the Manchester United team, "They have achieved excellent results away from home, but our results at home are even more brilliant." Speaking of this, Ronaldo still had a smile on his face, as if he was laughing at the Roma team.

The Roma team has played four away games in the Champions League this season and has only won two games. Such results can hardly be called good.However, in the game against Lyon, Roma did perform well. In the case of 0-0 at home in the first round, they finally defeated their opponents 2-0 away and advanced to the top [-].

But Manchester United is not Lyon, and the Gerland Stadium is not Old Trafford.

"Many people hope to lead a victory from Old Trafford, but in most cases, they end up leaving here with a loss! Although we are now behind on aggregate, we only need A goal can lead to promotion. And scoring a goal is too easy for me!"
