Chapter 74, Ferguson: I am very glad that the team has you

This round of the Premier League will kick off at the same time.

Although after three days.

Manchester United will face Atletico Madrid at the National Stadium in Bucharest, Romania, for the Europa League trophy.

But in this game.

Manchester United is still the main force to play.

Now this point in time.

This is not the time to be distracted by the Europa League.

For Ferguson, for Manchester United.

The Premier League championship is the most important thing, this game absolutely,-absolutely cannot be lost!!

Old Trafford is full at this moment - empty seats.

"20" slogans can be seen everywhere.

Manchester United fans are looking forward, looking forward to the team's twentieth top league title!!

at the same time.

Live at Old Trafford.

The first thing the camera locks on is the trophy of the Premier League champions placed in Li!!

Once Manchester United wins the game, the FA will present the award ceremony on the spot.

And because the league champion is not completely determined.

So the Premier League actually made two-handed preparations.

They carry two trophies.

One went to the Etihad Stadium.

One went to Old Trafford.

Some media reported that.

Whichever trophy goes to the Etihad is a replica and the one that goes to Old Trafford is the real thing.

Of course.

The Premier League did not make any rumors or anything like that.

Because it's not easy for you to explain this kind of thing.

If what the media says is true.

That would certainly upset City fans.

have a look!

Sure enough, the Premier League champion has been pre-determined in advance!

You have decided that Manchester United will definitely win.

But it wouldn't be right to say it was a replica that was brought to Old Trafford.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Manchester United are more likely to win the title than Manchester City.

Manchester City depends on Manchester United's face.

Only when Manchester United can't win, and Manchester City beats their opponents, can Manchester City win the Premier League title.

So it is normal to bring authentic products to Old Trafford.

Although few officials have come forward to refute the rumors.

But most people believe that the trophy at Old Trafford is genuine, so it was on the TV screen before the game.

The TV broadcast here at Old Trafford showed the trophy on the sidelines from all angles.

The trophy over at the Etihad Stadium does not have this treatment.

There are also media reports before the game.

Said that Manchester United has arranged celebrations after winning the championship.

Due to the impact of the UEFA Europa League final, Manchester United will not conduct any float parade. The team's celebration will be limited to Old Trafford. After the celebration, the players will immediately take the chartered flight prepared by Manchester United. Fly to Romania - Atlético Madrid are already waiting here as La Liga ends three days earlier than the Premier League.

And here in Manchester.

Because the initiative is not with them.

So Manchester City has kept a low profile.

before the game.

Sunderland coach Martin O'Neill said in an interview that his team will fight to stay in the Premier League.

For any team.

There is more than dignity to staying in a Premier League relationship, there are huge benefits as well.

Even for Sunderland, which is currently ranked 18th in the league, after the end of the season, their overseas broadcast revenue alone exceeded 80 million pounds.

In addition, there are domestic broadcast share, Premier League close and so on.

All these things add up.

Stay in the Premier League.

At least it means an income of 100 million pounds.

What does this income mean?

Even a super giant like Real Madrid.

The broadcast share and bonus they get from La Liga is just a little bit more than this.

And in La Liga.

The gap between rich and poor is huge.

Some teams can only get a few million broadcast shares, while the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona can get 100 million.

in the Premier League.

The relegation team's broadcast share can be compared with the two giants of La Liga.

visible.

What a benefit it is to stay in the Premier League.

For any team.

Staying in the Premier League can be said to be fighting for the "survival" of the club.

Once downgraded.

After the sharp drop in economic income.

The team's salary, signings and other expenses will be greatly reduced.

They will even be forced to sell those core players in the team to deal with the sharp drop in income in the English Championship.

Of course.

Later, the Premier League implemented the parachute system, and the teams that had just been relegated would also receive a certain degree of support.

But this kind of support can't keep up with the benefits of staying in the Premier League-otherwise, what are you doing to keep relegation?

"We need points at Old Trafford to succeed in the crit. I have no problem with Manchester United winning the title, but we have to get points! For Sunderland's survival!"

Sunderland firefighting coach Martin O'Neill, who took over mid-season, said so.

Speaking of Martin. O'Neill is not easy.

When he took over Sunderland.

It was just halfway through the season.

Sunderland only got 9 points at the bottom, 10 points behind the 17th place.

At that time, everyone thought that Sunderland was definitely relegated.

What a dream.

After Martin O'Neill took over the team, although he didn't say how good his performance was, at least he scored a lot of points.

Today, Sunderland has a total of 33 points and only needs 10 points to successfully relegation.

Don't think it's a surefire downgrade.

There is still hope of relegation.

To be honest, even if Sunderland is relegated this season, no one will think it is Martin O'Neill's fault.

Because after he took office, he helped the team score as many as 21 points in half a season.

Judging from the scoring efficiency in this half of the season.

If Martin O'Neal coached for a full season.

Sunderland is sure to be able to avoid relegation.

But helpless.

Too many holes were dug in the first half of the season.

Even if Martin O'Neill is working hard in the second half of the season, that's all he can do.

To be honest, there is still hope of relegation in the last round of the season.

Martin O'Neill has done well enough, even if he is relegated, no one will criticize him.

Old Trafford.

The atmosphere was extremely warm.

The fans cheered and cheered for the team.

They expect Manchester United to show their strength in this game.

At home against Sunderland.

Manchester United fans certainly have reason to be confident.

Even if this is a Sunderland team facing an existential crisis.

From 1982 to the present.

Sunderland have never won at Old Trafford.

The two sides played a total of 21 games here.

Sunderland's score is 17 losses and 4 draws.

Just compare the results of this matchup.

What reason can Manchester United fans not be confident?

However, Manchester City fans still pay close attention to this game.

In the circle of Manchester City fans.

They were all saying "records are made to be broken", "Sunderland just need a draw" and stuff like that.

However.

After the game starts.

Sunderland really failed to cause any trouble for Manchester United.

This game from the very beginning.

The rhythm is firmly under Manchester United's feet.

In the eighth minute of the game, Manchester United scored.

Li Ao made a pass from the left corner of the penalty area, the football bypassed the defense at the front point and accurately found Rooney in the penalty area!

Rooney doesn't even need to take off.

He rushed up in a few steps, and with the momentum of the sprint, he slammed the ball into the goal.

"Scorer... Wayne...."

The live DJ at Old Trafford dragged out a high-pitched voice with a microphone.

"!!!!!!!!!!"

More than 70,000 Manchester United fans responded to him with a uniform roar.

"Very beautiful!!!"

"Rooney! Rooney took the lead for Manchester United. Only eight minutes into the game, Manchester United took the lead! This is a very good start. It is really difficult for Sunderland to make a difference in this stadium. They are really going to be relegated.. ...."

Andy Gray said from the stands.

When Rooney scored.

It was as if an earthquake had struck Old Trafford.

All Manchester United fans jumped up.

when they fell at the same time.

The whole stadium seemed to be trampled down.

The camera lens is also shaking non-stop!

"Beautiful! One to zero!!! We have made a very good start, as long as this momentum continues, we can win the league championship, regardless of the result of Manchester City on the other side!!"

Manchester United TV commentator Alan Hansen shouted excitedly.

And this goal also allowed Manchester United to completely control the situation in the next game.

They bombed around each other's penalty area.

But less luck.

They didn't score a goal.

But a score of one to zero is enough for them to win the championship.

Sunderland's defense was very embarrassing. They could only rely on constant fouls to stop Manchester United's attack.

For this they paid the price of 4 yellow cards.

After midfielder Vaughan was booked again for tackling Li Ao.

The commentator Andy Gray shook his head again and again: "If we continue to play like this, there will definitely be players from Sunderland who will get a red card!"

This is the situation Sunderland is facing now.

Manchester United completely dominated.

For Manchester United fans, the only shortcoming is that the score is still relatively high.

At the end of the first half, the team failed to expand the score.

But even so.

The Manchester United players were talking and laughing as they walked off the field, looking very relaxed.

Except Li Ao.

He walked in a hurry, and his face was very solemn.

"Li Ao looked dissatisfied with the first half of the game, which is normal, maybe he was dissatisfied with his teammates squandering the chances he created. Because he is now competing with David Silva for the assist title... .”

Andy Gray said.

He Ping, the commentator of Longguo National TV, also has the same opinion: "Li Ao created a lot of opportunities in this game, but Manchester United players squandered them. To be honest, if Manchester United players can grasp the opportunities, now Li Ao may be Already assisted a hat-trick......"

"Maybe he is a little worried about the score?"

On the side, guest commentator Tao Wei added.

Tao Wei guessed right.

Li Ao is really not very satisfied with this one-to-zero score.

In the locker room.

...asking for flowers...

Every Manchester United player who came in had a relaxed and happy face.

They were talking and laughing with each other, already talking about the Europa League final.

Atlético Madrid are definitely not easy opponents

hand.

As soon as Ferguson opened the door, he saw Li Ao standing up and walking to the middle of the locker room.

Ferguson, who wanted to remind the players that he came in, stood at the door and watched from afar.

"Hey! Hey!! Guys!"

Li Ao clapped his palms and said loudly.

Although Li Ao is the youngest among the starting players of the first team, he is the core midfielder of his team.

In the locker room.

He also has a certain right to speak.

The right to speak in the locker room is linked to the performance on the court.

According to his contribution to the team, Li Ao is now considered one of the leaders in the locker room.

I saw the boss was about to speak.

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, shut up, and looked at Li Ao.

"I don't want to disturb everyone's interest, but I have to say something, do you think we are sure to win?"

Li Ao didn't talk nonsense.

Straight to the point.

The locker room fell silent.

The smiles on the players' faces also subsided.

They knew what Li Ao meant.

"I think you have heard a saying that one goal lead is the least insurance. We all know that the opponent cannot give up. In this case...only one goal lead, right?

Is it too risky?"

Li Ao looked at his teammates with a dignified voice.

"When AC Milan led by three goals in the Champions League final in Yi Sitanbul, their players were probably in a happier mood than you, but what about the result?"

"Football is round! Anything can happen!"

"So, it's not time for us to celebrate yet! In the second half, we must continue to attack and expand the score as soon as possible! Turn the score into two to zero, three to zero! Can't give them

No room for fantasy, don't give them any chance!!!"

0

The days when they took the lead in the first half and were overturned in the second half.

Countless.

And after Li Ao's reminder.

Everyone also remembered that their opponent Sunderland is impossible to give up.

After all, we are only one goal behind now.

If they can even the score.

That means they successfully avoided relegation.

In front of such a big profit.

It's impossible for Sunderland not to go all out.

The door maintains the current mentality and returns to the second half of the game, then they will be caught off guard by the opponent "possibility..

Think about it.

Like Li Ao, the players of Manchester United suddenly became serious.

"In the second half, we have to score as quickly as possible!"

Rooney stood up and said loudly.

"Don't give them any chance!!"

"Li Ao is right!"

"Now is not the time to get carried away!"

The Manchester United players stood up one after another.

They are all experienced professional players.

Of course, I know that as long as the whistle for the end of the game has not blown, everything is possible to happen.

football.

is round!

clap clap!

At this moment, crisp applause resounded in the locker room.

Very suddenly.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the place where the applause came from, and they saw Ferguson applauding.

"Li Ao is right!"

Ferguson said.

"Actually, these words are what I want to say to you, but I don't need it now!! Remember, don't underestimate any opponent, don't be distracted in such an important game

!"

then.

He looked at Li Ao.

"Actually, there are some things I plan to tell you after this game, but I am very fortunate to have a player like you in my team.

Ferguson's words made the Manchester United fans present look at Li Ao.

There are not many players who can get such an evaluation from Ferguson.

Giggs and Scholes.

The only two players still on the team who haven't retired look at each other.

They followed Ferguson through twenty seasons.

These words.

They are very familiar.

When the old captain Robson retired.

Ferguson said the same thing: "I'm lucky to have a player like you in my team.

after.

Whether it's Cantona or Roy. Gene.

Neither got such an evaluation from Ferguson.

Indeed.

For Ferguson.

Robson was his first Manchester United captain.

It's normal to be judged by him like this.

And now.

Li Ao.

Only a seventeen-year-old midfielder, he has only played for the team for three months.

But it also got such an evaluation from Ferguson!

The two suddenly thought of something at the same time.

They looked over their shoulders.

There was panic and bewilderment on his face, and there was a hint of relief of "it really is".

"I have a message I must give you up front, guys.

Under the gaze of the two.

Ferguson announced the decision to completely silence the locker room.

"After this season, I will no longer be the manager of Manchester United."

"I'm going to retire."

Ferguson's voice fell.

The entire locker room.

Needle drop can smell pills. .
