future king

The first team to advance to the Champions League final has been determined. Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona to advance to the final and waited for another final opponent.

It is very likely to be Manchester United, but Manchester United's weak 1:0 at home kept the suspense of the semi-finals until the second round.

The French team still has a chance to make a comeback at home. The good news is that Manchester United's main striker Wayne Rooney will still be unable to play due to a thigh muscle strain.

But Li Yu will still start the game, and now no matter which country’s media admits that as long as Li Yu appears on the field, the team that is playing against Manchester United must try their best to deal with Manchester United’s No. 9. One result, scored!

It is full of offensive power and impact, and it seems that Manchester United's No. 9 is not afraid of any big scenes. In fact, it proves that in the most critical games, Li Yu will always hand in a good answer.

Facing the almost unsolvable Manchester United striker, the French team and how to deal with it, this is the first problem that people who pay attention to the second round of the game pay attention to.

On the field, people will find that there will always be two or three Lyon players around Li Yu. The Frenchman's team has done its best to defend Manchester United's No. 9 with all possible strength.

This is at the Frenchman's home court, but it still didn't have any obvious effect. Li Yu once again proved with a goal that he can't be defended by a large number of people. The sharp breakthrough made the Frenchman's defender feel at a loss. If you can't pull it down, any foul strategy is just a cloud, and scoring goals becomes a matter of course!

The suspense before the game became so pale on the field. Facts also proved that the Lyon team's ability to reach the semi-finals was already their limit. Here they seemed too conservative. Even in their own home court, they continued With the strategy of defensive counterattack, facing Manchester United's blind defense, the final result can only be scored by Manchester United's No. 9.

In the second round of the away game, it was still 0:1, and Li Yu scored the only goal again.

Ferguson said with regret after the game, "We did a great job in the game, but unfortunately we only scored one goal. We didn't grasp many good opportunities, but we advanced to the final, and we have advanced to the final for three consecutive years. , one goal is enough!"

Li Yu also expressed the same point of view, "There were other opportunities in the game, but it was a pity that we did not score a goal. We entered the Champions League final again. This is definitely a great moment. Next, we must prepare for the final. Already!"

In addition to the Champions League final, Manchester United is about to face Sunderland in the league, which has also become the focus of media attention. Although it is an away game, Manchester United only needs to score one point to complete the Premier League quadruple.

Whether Sunderland can stop Manchester United's progress, maybe even they don't have that confidence.

Before the start of the penultimate round of the Premier League, Li Yu also returned to China Hong Kong for a World Cup warm-up match. Their opponent was the South American team Peru!

Li Yu came off the bench in the second half, maybe Eriksson wanted to see what kind of game China Hong Kong would play without Li Yu in the 45 minutes of the first half, but the effect was very bad, lacking Li Yu in the front line In the first half, the Huaxia Hong Kong team fell behind the Peruvian team by one goal!

Facts have also proved that without Li Yu, the China Hong Kong team can barely be regarded as a third-rate team in the world.

Li Yu was replaced at the beginning of the second half. With Li Yu's appearance, the dissatisfied local fans once again broke out in the loudest shouts. This is the cheering sound that Hong Kong Stadium should send out.

Li Yu also lived up to the expectations of the fans after he came on the field. He scored two goals with a long-range shot and a goal in the penalty area. The Peruvian team also lacked a good solution for Li Yu. This problem has to be left to other teams to solve.

2:1, Huaxia Hong Kong team defeated the visiting Peruvian national team with Li Yu's two goals, and got a good start to the warm-up match!

Eriksson also had to admit after the game that the Huaxia Hong Kong team showed strength in the first half and the second half were completely two-level teams. The difference between the first half and the second half can be seen intuitively from the completely different reactions of the fans.

After Li Yu came on the field, the team seemed to be injected with vitality in an instant. Both offense and defense have improved significantly. Regarding this problem, Eriksson believes that he has not yet found a good solution. The only thing that can be confirmed One point, it is necessary to protect Li Yu, he is really important to Huaxia Hong Kong team.

At the end of the warm-up match, Li Yu hurried back to England to prepare for the Premier League.

In the earlier match between Chelsea and Liverpool, no one would have thought that the Chelsea people would explode with such a strong combat effectiveness when they were basically hopeless in winning the championship. They defeated Liverpool 2-0 in the away game and continued to catch up with Manchester United. Footsteps, expecting a miracle to appear.

Chelsea and Liverpool have faced each other for the 04th time in various competitions since October 10, and the protagonists have changed one after another.The last time the Blues beat the Reds in an away game in the league was in the Mourinho era (26-05 in 4). Among the scorers were Duff and other names. Now the Blues under the command of Ancelotti have also come to a lineup The threshold of blood exchange.

After defeating Wigan in the final round, Chelsea will win the Premier League title. After the FA Cup final, they may also win the double crown. However, the general trend of personnel replacement in the summer is inevitable. Take the 13 players who played in this crucial battle as an example. Among them Including those who are on the verge of leaving the team.

As the starting midfielder, Ballack has a very stable performance. He has a large interception area and the ability to organize transition balls. When Mikel and Essien can't play, he is the most ideal candidate for the midfielder.However, the fate of the German is still unknown, and his contract renewal negotiations are temporarily on hold. Chelsea may first see who can be introduced in the same position in the summer, and then make a decision.Judging from Ballack's performance, he can still play the leading role in the midfield. Although the 33-year-old is a bit too old, the left-back midfielder position requires relatively low physical fitness for the players. Makelele and Ballack's compatriot Ma Teus has served as a defensive barrier excellently at an advanced age.

In the 92nd minute of the field, Joe Cole came off the bench to replace Anelka, and the Englishman appeared as a "time-delaying piece".Among the 13 people who played for Chelsea today, Joe Cole is most likely to leave the team. His contract renewal negotiations with Chelsea have broken down. He will face free departure after his contract expires this summer. The British media have always said that Manchester United is interested in him. Now Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger expressed his affection for Joe Cole.

"Joe Cole is an interesting target," Wenger said, "but whether I have enough players in these positions, we will have to wait and see." - Cole's zero worth. Although his state and ability have shown signs of decline this season, it is obviously tempting to get such an international player for free.

For Chelsea, the price of retaining Joe Cole seems to be too high. The Englishman's contract renewal request is a weekly salary of 12 pounds. His contribution this season is not worth the price. If the salary is reduced on the basis of 8 yuan, it is difficult to negotiate the price gap between the two parties.Another factor that is unfavorable to Joe Cole is that Kalou was reused at the end of the season, and he seized the opportunity to perform very eye-catchingly. He scored a hat-trick in the last round and has an excellent competitive state in this round. The status and importance of the team further declined.

The recent public opinion has also been unfavorable to the 28-year-old Joe Cole. More and more voices believe that he is a talented player.Joe Cole hit back angrily: "Those who say I'm only talented are lazy. They should come and see me five or six games in a row. I don't think there is any winger or attacking midfielder who works like me. defense. I'm tough, I've got guts."

Although Joe Cole is dissatisfied with such comments, it is an indisputable fact that this is his worst season since he came to Chelsea, and it shows a clear downward trend. One can imagine how difficult it is for an England talent who seems to have exhausted his potential to stay in the team.

Shouting, waving, cursing, furious... You rarely see these excited expressions on Ancelotti who is calm and stiff. How powerful the fire will be!

Not really what he said before the game: the atmosphere at Anfield was exciting.There is only one reason --- in this game that must be won, the Italian used his expression to accurately convey the signal to his players: there is no room for loss in this game.But as his expression changed to clenched fists and cheers, people knew that the catharsis at the moment represented how much pressure the Italians were carrying.

In the 2-0 victory over Liverpool, it was not just the Red Army that Ancelotti doubled.A weary and underwhelmed Liverpool was underwhelming, but that didn't take away from Ancelotti's and his team's efforts and his undisputed five wins.From this point of view, the combat effectiveness Chelsea has shown this season is daunting. They are only two goals away from Manchester United's 97 goals in a single season.

In particular, he faced Benitez, who had humiliated himself.No one can forget that soul-stirring night in Istanbul, how Liverpool completed a shocking reversal on An Shuai's Milan.Two years later, Ancelotti made a comeback and led Milan to a successful comeback. This season, he led Chelsea to defeat the Red Army twice, and hatred has been replaced by sweetness.

In the final stage of the league, facing the chasing Manchester United, Chelsea had a lot of pressure, but Ancelotti laughed it off with his "casual".This kind of casualness has repeatedly hindered his team away from home, and even in the lead, it was overturned by teams such as Manchester City, Villa, and Everton.But at the last moment of the league, Ancelotti has begun to be serious, showing his colors at the most critical time, and the Italian has done a good job.

After losing to Tottenham, he repeatedly reminded his players that the situation cannot be lost, they must concentrate and not underestimate any opponent, as evidenced by the 7-0 massacre against the poor Stoke City, but in the face of Manchester United Instead, Chelsea exploded with unprecedented fighting power. It may be very promising earlier, but now Chelsea can only look at Manchester United's face.

Facing a game that must be won, he sent three strikers.The team was tense in the first half, and even captain John Terry made mistakes.Uncharacteristically, Ancelotti repeatedly stood on the sidelines and directed loudly, furious at the referee for not giving Kalou a penalty.He has always respected the referee and put pressure on the referee with his own attitude, because he is smart and has learned that in England, you can not get mercy just by forbearance, and you need to fight at critical moments.And now, only 90 minutes away from the final victory, at Stamford Bridge, the Italian still maintains the hope of enjoying the fans' "Champion Song" for the first time.

On the other hand, on Manchester United's side, they are completing their contract renewal plan in an orderly manner!

Captain Neville renewed his contract for one year, including the 1-year-old Van der Sar, 39-year-old Giggs and 36-year-old Scholes, the "four elders" will all appear in the Manchester United lineup in the new season.The reason given by Ferguson is that Neville, like Brian Robson, Bruce and Keane, has the unique spirit and temperament of Manchester United: "They are a huge asset, and it is very important to keep them in the locker room. "

Two years ago, Neville suffered a serious ankle injury and had to rest for 2 months.Ferguson said frankly that he was very worried that he would not be able to survive. Fortunately, he still played a wonderful season two years later.For this reason, Ferguson also recommended Capello, hoping that the Italians can bring Neville to South Africa: "The England national team needs such an experienced player. I think, at present, he is still the best right-hand man in the England national team." Defender."

According to the plan, Ferguson will set aside a coaching seat for the four elders, allowing them to play their remaining heat in the Theater of Dreams.Solskjaer is the best precedent. The Norwegian has just coached Manchester United's reserve team to win the Northern Division of the Reserve League. "Neville, Giggs and Scholes are as important to this generation of young people in England as Charlton, Denis Law and Best were to them. They play an important role in the development of the youth academy, just as they do on the pitch."

There are those who renew their contracts and stay brilliant, and there are also those who are sad and ready to leave at any time!

This season, Portuguese flying wing Nani seems to have gotten the hang of it, but another genius in Ferguson's eyes, Foster, is still sitting on the bench. "The Sun" said that if Birmingham could not rent or buy Manchester City's British goalkeeper Joe Hart next season, they will buy British goalkeeper Foster from Manchester United for a transfer fee of 500 million pounds.

Since joining from Stoke City with a transfer fee of £2005 million in the summer of 100, Foster has only played 12 times for Manchester United.This year, Foster is 27 years old, and he can't wait anymore.See Fraser Campbell, who has played well at Sunderland after failing to get a chance at Manchester United, and Joe Hart, who was loaned to Birmingham by Manchester City and won the honor of the best goalkeeper of the season However, Foster, who is also an Englishman but is no longer young, will inevitably have the idea of ​​​​leaving the team.

However, Manchester United coach Ferguson does not want to let Foster go, even though Foster is now only Manchester United's third goalkeeper, and even when playing in the team's group match, he is a substitute. "The Times" said that Ferguson still has great confidence in Foster. "Ben was a bit unlucky, he made a lot of mistakes early in the season. Kuzzak took Ben's place and he did a great job. So, what can I do? Take Ben because he's English? Who does the status choose to play? I have to make a choice based on the status. Ben will return (in the lineup). He has a lot of talent and I am sure he will perform very well next year. He has just signed a new contract with the club , he never talks to me about his future. So I will not worry, he will stay."

Ferguson does not want to sell Foster, but for the two teenagers Welbeck and Fabio, the old man will most likely agree to loan them out.

"Daily Mail" said Ferguson's son Darren hopes to continue to loan Welbeck next season.The 19-year-old Welbeck was loaned to Preston in January, but only played 1 games on behalf of the team, and had to return to Manchester United because of a serious knee injury. "Now it is possible to bring Welbeck back on loan for 8 months, I will talk to my father about Welbeck next season (plans)."

Another possible departure is the young left-back Fabio, and his destination may be Sporting Lisbon.Although at the beginning of this month, Fabio just renewed his contract with Manchester United until 2014, but because of the lack of opportunities to play in Manchester United, Fabio hopes that Sir Alex Ferguson will loan himself out for exercise.And if Sporting Lisbon is willing to commit to the main or semi-main position, Ferguson may fulfill this "marriage".

It now appears that a player who may leave the team permanently this summer is the Serbian international Tosic.During Tosic's one-year joining Manchester United, he has never started a game on behalf of Manchester United in any competition.Despite his outstanding performance in the Bundesliga, Tosic also expressed his willingness to stay in Cologne in an interview a few days ago.For Tosic, who is reluctant to leave, Ferguson intends to sell it in order to recover a little economic loss.After all, Tosic's body has proven unsuitable for England.

The personnel movement of Manchester United before the World Cup attracted the attention of the media at all. What many people actually wanted to see was the movement of Rooney and Li Yu, the two strikers. A combination of killing gods.
