future king

The UEFA Champions League 14 final match is released, and the two previous finals are repeated. In addition to Arsenal vs. Barcelona, ​​the encounter between Manchester United and Bayern Munich is also an eye-catching heavyweight dialogue.

The topic will inevitably be dragged back to 1999. Manchester United's official website commented: "Of course, the 7 confrontations between the two teams included the 1999 final at Camp Nou, perhaps the greatest night in the history of the Red Devils. Sheringham and Sol Skja's stoppage-time goal sealed the historic Triple Crown."

Manchester United can't forget that game. Even though they were the luckier side during the process, Bayern led 1-0 and had many chances to make up for it. Effenberg's long-range shot came out and Janker The backhook hit the crossbar, Sauer's lob hit the goal post... Of course, the Red Devils damaged the main central midfielder Keane and Scholes before the game, which is also an important reason why Bayern has the upper hand.

从历史交锋看，拜仁对曼联也是稍占优势的一方，两队在98-99赛季欧冠小组赛中以2比2、1比1言和、决赛曼联逆转胜，但在2000-01赛季，拜仁在欧冠双杀(主场2比1、客场1比0)曼联，01-02赛季欧冠小组赛，双方又打成平手(1比1、0比0)，而在赛季前的奔驰杯邀请赛上，拜仁曾靠点球击败曼联夺冠。

But history has become history after all, and the reality is the most important.In all fairness, although today's Bayern has famous players such as Robben and Ribery, its status and heavyweight in European football are no longer comparable to that giant team in the late 90s and early 20th century. Compared with the top clubs like Manchester United, the overall combat effectiveness is far behind. Moreover, in the first season under the leadership of Van Gaal, the team's situation is hardly stable, and the elimination of Fiorentina in the 18 finals was even more exhausting. Force plus no small controversy.In contrast to Manchester United, the traces of Rottweis's departure have been wiped out by Ferguson in the past year. Rooney and Li Yu are in the best condition of their careers. In addition, the Red Devils 451's style of play has become more stable, with defensive and offensive capabilities. They've all been built to perfection. [

Fighting Bayern again, Ferguson must be full of words of respect. Ferguson has always had a lot of respect for the "giants" with historical background.But just like in the 18 finals against Milan, history is just the past, and the reality of strength comparison and status determine everything. This is the eternal truth on the football field. Milan was Manchester United's European nemesis. But now the Rossoneri have long been difficult to compare with the dynasty era. Manchester United's 3-2, 4-0 sweep shows the "realistic gap" between the two teams.

From the point of view of public opinion, in the face of Manchester United, which is gaining momentum, Bayern's situation is similar to that of Milan. The odds change of William Hill bookmaker before and after the draw shows this point of view. It was even less favored before, while Manchester United changed from 1100 to 1300, and the heat continued to rise. Obviously, the reality is more valuable than the historical record. This is why Manchester United beat Milan and continued to be favored after being drawn to Bayern.

Manchester United drew Bayern Munich in the Champions League 14 finals. Everyone in the club believes that the team has a good chance to advance. Coach Ferguson said that he hopes that the team will have a complete lineup to face the match.

Ferguson said: "The history of facing Bayern Munich in European competitions in the past shows that this will be a very difficult matchup."

"There will be a very good atmosphere for both games, they have an excellent stadium, good turf and we are playing against a good, experienced team."

"Hopefully we'll be able to have a full squad with everyone we need to play and we have a good chance (to qualify)."

Manchester United club secretary Ramsden expressed optimism: "If we can choose the result of the draw, then this will be a good draw, but the game needs to be won, and we are still a long way from the final. I am sure there will be no underestimation at Old Trafford."

The overall combat effectiveness is dominant, but Manchester United has some off-court troubles.

The first is the influence and schedule of the Premier League.At present, the competition for the league has become fierce, and the Red Magic have both trade-offs.

On March 3th, Manchester United will be a guest in Munich to start the first round. On April 30th, they will return to Old Trafford to play Bayern at home. In between these two Champions League games, they will play Chelsea at home on April 4rd. In just 7 days, the Red Devils have to fight three tough battles, and these three are key battles that may determine the fate of the season. The pressure and the resulting physical and psychological fatigue can be imagined.

It can be said that Chelsea's performance and how much pressure they can put on Manchester United in the league will largely determine the Red Devils' preparations for the Champions League.

If they can successfully pass the hurdle of the schedule and defeat Bayern, Manchester United's prospects in the semi-finals are widely optimistic. Both Lyon and Bordeaux are regarded as "underdogs" with a difference in strength, but the reality But this may not be the case. The two French teams are not as easy to deal with as people imagined. The former eliminated Real Madrid, while the latter is a team with amazing stability. Whoever plays against Manchester United may become a difficult team. The predicted team.

曼联的欧冠历史上曾吃过对法国球队轻敌的亏，97-98赛季，红魔不敌摩纳哥(客场0比0、主场1比1)，而05-06赛季，曼联未能从欧冠小组中出线，其中对里尔一平一负(主场0比0、客场0比1)的战绩是关键。

In this UEFA Champions League draw, the two French teams met in the 14-finals. It seems that they can kill each other, but from the point of view of "conspiracy theory", this is tantamount to ensuring that there is a French team in the semi-finals. In the final, will this French team be "escorted" to advance to the Bernabeu final?Of course, this is just a wild guess. Platini will never admit that there are any stains and shady scenes in his Champions League.

Sometimes it seems to be a smooth road, but if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the abyss. Chelsea in the 03-04 season is a lesson for Manchester United.That was Abramovich's first year in charge, and Ranieri's team overturned Arsenal, which suppressed him for a whole season, in the 14 finals. Runia), Chelsea's prospect of winning the championship looks very good. However, in the semi-finals, the Blues fell to the feet of Monaco 1-3 away and 2-2 at home. It was a pity that they were eliminated.

When Li Yu was interviewed, he was also asked whether Manchester United's excessive consumption in the domestic league would affect the Champions League.

"It's a difficult process. Next we will face Liverpool. This game has a great impact on the final trend of the league. Now every game is the focus. However, enjoying this difficult process also helps My growth, I hope to be able to get through this difficult stage with Manchester United!"

It seems that Manchester United's No. 9 is still very confident, describing the difficult game as a process of growth.

Ferguson is not so calm! [

The old man was furious again, and in the tense title race, he took aim at the FA over Gerrard's elbow.

The Reds captain elbowed Michael Brown in Liverpool's thrashing of Portsmouth, and Gerrard could miss Sunday's game against Manchester United if the FA penalizes him on video, but the FA did nothing Punishment measures, which made Ferguson furious.

"I didn't expect Gerrard to be charged at all because the FA body (the Disciplinary Committee) is completely out of business, I don't know if they know what they are doing, some decisions are scratching their heads, and there is no continuity. "

"But I definitely think that if a Manchester United player did this, he would be punished. Look at the example of Ferdinand." Ferdinand was suspended for four games by the FA for a similar elbow. .

Ferguson also called for some former coaches to replace the current establishment: "I thought maybe it would be worthwhile to have some coaches who are not currently working to take over the department, people who have been involved in the game and that's a huge advantage for them, especially with the current ones. guy compared."

In addition, Manchester United midfielder Nani is also launching an offensive against Liverpool. He publicly mobilized Gerrard to transfer, and said that if the Englishman is really ambitious, he should not stay in the Liverpool team.

"I don't know Gerrard's plans this summer, but a player of his quality definitely wants to win the championship. It didn't happen in Liverpool. He can consider leaving the team."

"Last summer I included Liverpool in the championship group. I was surprised by their performance. It will not be easy for them to enter the top four this year. The other teams are doing well. The slightest change may affect the whole situation."

No matter what you say, the game is still on schedule.

No one thought that Liverpool would turn away from home in the opening game and give Manchester United, who was sitting in Old Trafford, a blow.

Liverpool got off to a perfect start. In the 5th minute, Torres intercepted the midfielder and passed the ball to Gerrard. The captain of the Red Army made a direct pass. 10th goal of the season.

After conceding the goal, Manchester United immediately launched an offensive, and the strikers led by Li Yu and Rooney also joined in the crazy counterattack.

No. In the 12th minute, Li Yu broke into the penalty area and was pulled down by Mascherano. He took a penalty kick. Li Yu won a penalty kick for Manchester United.

Li Yu personally acted to send the football into the goal of Liverpool controlled by Reina. Only 4 minutes later, Manchester United relied on Li Yu's penalty kick to equalize the score.

The two sides pulled back the balance of power, Insua intercepted Carrick's pass and then made a long pass to Torres, and Vidic got it first again.And Park Ji-sung made a mistake in stopping the ball in front of the penalty area and missed the chance to shoot.

In the 21st minute, Dirk Dirk split the side, Torres' cross won a corner kick, Gerrard opened, and Lucas's header was confiscated by Van der Sar.But Manchester United missed the opportunity to overtake after 1 minute. Valencia broke through Insua from the right and made a pass.In the 25th minute, Torres was given a yellow card for a foul on Park Ji-sung. In the 29th minute, Fletcher passed the ball, and Nani's long shot from the left was saved by Reina.

The two sides were in a stalemate, with Manchester United having 59% more ball possession than Liverpool in the first half.Although Manchester United's pass success rate is only 822%, it is still 10 percentage points higher than that of the Red Army. From the data on the field, it is very intuitive to draw a conclusion. Not small.

In the 40th minute, Evra made a diagonal pass from the left, and Park Ji-sung headed the goal from 12 yards away, and the ball missed the right post.In stoppage time at halftime, Carragher was given a yellow card for fouling Fletcher in front of the penalty area, and the referee took a free kick.

Rooney and Li Yu stood in front of the ball, looked at each other tacitly, and nodded at the same time. The two had already decided on the penalty plan.

Li Yu stayed in front of the football, while Rooney ran into the wall, trying to squeeze a gap and gain more space for Li Yu's shot.

How could the Liverpool players not know the skill of Manchester United's No. 9 free kick? How many seven people formed a human wall, and they moved forward secretly while the referee was not paying attention.

Li Yu started to run up, but the powerful free kick that people imagined did not appear. Suddenly, Li Yu lightly shot Rooney out of the wall and went straight. [

God, God!

Li Yu and Rooney played a free kick in front of the Liverpool penalty area. Without Li Yu's absolute speed, this kind of cooperation would have been impossible. Besides, the penalty area is full of people. As long as one of them stretches out and calls, this free kick attack That's it.

Wearing No. 9, he rushed into Liverpool's penalty area like lightning. When the ball arrived, all the Liverpool players seemed to have realized it. The funniest thing was Agger. After jumping up to block, he turned around and was still looking for the football trail.

After Li Yu received the ball, he immediately blasted the goal vigorously, and the football went in close to the near post.

Reina didn't react at all, it was really wonderful, almost perfect free kick coordination.

The score was fixed at 2:1 in the first half, and Manchester United led Liverpool at home.

The half-time struggle is still fierce.In the 52nd minute, Rooney passed the ball, and Park Ji-sung's volley in front of the penalty area was obtained by Reina again.Manchester United gradually took advantage of the home court to take the initiative, and Liverpool's counterattack force investment was obviously insufficient.Manchester United expanded the score in the 60th minute. Rooney scored from the right, Fletcher made a cross, and Park Ji-sung scored a header from the edge of the penalty area before Glenn Johnson. This was the Korean winger's second goal in the last 3 games.

3:1, the Double Red Club has completely lost suspense, Manchester United has already led by two goals at home.

Ferguson immediately made substitution adjustments, and Li Yu was replaced by Scholes. This time it was the turn of Manchester United's No. 9 to enjoy the early rest.

However, after Li Yu left the field, he still seemed a little unsatisfied, and walked to the sidelines unwillingly.

"Boy, the hard battle is yet to come. Your task now is to rest well!" Ferguson frowned, but he still explained to Li Yu the original intention of the substitution while shaking hands.

"Boss, I know, it's just that I'm not used to being replaced so early!" Li Yu took the towels and clothes handed over by the staff, and also expressed his thoughts.

I am afraid that there is no communication, and a few simple sentences have avoided many unnecessary misunderstandings.

Especially facing a head coach like Ferguson who is known for his strong iron fist, it is not easy to explain it to his players.

Ferguson nodded and asked Li Yu to sit on the bench.

In the 76th minute, Fletcher passed the ball, and Rooney shot over the crossbar from 25 yards after passing the two.Then Babel replaced Maxi Rodriguez.In the 79th minute, Giggs replaced Nani.Liverpool completed the final adjustment in the 83rd minute, Benayoun replaced Lucas.In the 86th minute, Park Ji-sung passed the ball, and Rooney broke into the penalty area and shot a low shot from 15 yards to the left rib and missed it.

In the 90th minute, Gerrard made a cross from the right side of the restricted area. Torres missed a good opportunity at 12 yards.With 5 minutes of stoppage time, Manchester United maintained the victory until the end.Manchester United has won 4 consecutive victories and is 2 points ahead of Chelsea, which has 9 games less.

Liverpool have gone 6 consecutive league away games without a win.

Today's game was very intense. Weber showed five yellow cards, but Ferguson thought it was too light. In his opinion, the team's penalty kick was fine, but Mascherano deserved a red card for fouling Leave, but Webb didn't do that.Ferguson said: "I think the penalty decision should be a red card. Because I don't understand, if I use normal movements, how can I block Valencia's shot. It is an absolute goal. Chance."

When talking about the whole game, Ferguson said: "It was very intense. Liverpool were very good at intercepting. We knew they did it because of our strength. So you have to be patient. Park played He scored a wonderful goal, and he played another important role for us today." When asked if this game was considered a classic, Ferguson replied: "I'm sure I don't deserve it. On. But the fight is very intense, you can't take your eyes away, I don't think anyone can watch the TV broadcast quietly with a cup of tea, I'm sure of this."

At the last moment of the game, Torres missed a rare good opportunity, and Ferguson also had some lingering fears. He said: "Torres may have played too hastily, and this was the only big defensive loophole in our entire game."

When the media asked that Li Yu was replaced in advance, Ferguson didn't express much, insisting that it was just a necessary rotation. As for the rest, there was nothing to talk about!

Li Yu also answered similar questions in the same tone, and said that he had no problems communicating with the head coach at all!

However, in the league three days later, Li Yu did not appear in Manchester United's starting roster, which caused another big commotion.
