437. Follow the Europa League

On the evening of the 15th, the second leg between Manchester United and Athletic Bilbao started at the San Mames Stadium.

Wen Sheng vaguely remembers that Manchester United did not enter the UEFA Cup final this season. As for where he took it, he really doesn't remember it.

But he is a little butterfly after all, and some people and some things have changed because of him. It is hard to say that Manchester United will continue to move forward along the trajectory in the memory of his previous life.

However, Manchester United lost 2:3 at home in the first leg, which allowed Athletic Bilbao to score three away goals. Wensheng felt that it was difficult for Manchester United to make a comeback away. After all, Athletic Bilbao on the opposite side is really not a soft persimmon. Their head coach Bielsa is known as a madman and is very good at offensive training.

On weekdays, Wensheng has relatively little time to watch live broadcasts, and most of them watch videos. There is too much moisture in each game. Most of the videos he watches are edited versions provided by Joey and the others.

But today Wen Sheng sat in front of the TV and waited for the start of the game.

Cheryl "mocked" Wensheng's unusual attention to Manchester United came from Ferguson's provocation a week ago, and "criticized" Wensheng's failure to respect the elderly and love the young.

Wen Sheng defended with serene comments, "I'm not because of that old guy's provocation! You forgot that they will come to Croydon in a few days! Of course I will pay attention to all their performance in this game!"

Sitting down beside Wensheng, Cheryl asked with a smile, "Who are you going to support?!"

"Of course it's Bi... No, I will definitely support the Jazz! Of course I will support Manchester United!" Wen Sheng, so I naturally hope that Manchester United will spend more effort in the UEFA Cup.

Cheryl laughed, "Then I'll cheer for Athletic Bilbao today!"

"Why don't you have the same heart as me?"

"That's boring?!" Cheryl pursed.

In the BBC live broadcast room, two commentators, Leinker and Ince, are having pre-match discussions with the beautiful host. Manchester United's first leg is indeed awful, but this does not prevent them from still be optimistic that Manchester United can turn the table away and successfully advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa League.

"Dear, it seems that Manchester United is very hopeful!" Cheryl squeezed his eyes at Wensheng after hearing Leinkell's comments.

"They only know how to do paper articles, and they have a strong subjective emotion! I really understand what Manchester United's advantages lies?!" Wensheng didn't care.

Being a commentator is a very simple job. Of course, it is too easy to become a top player like Reinkell. Reinkell and others must have studied the game before the game, but in Wensheng's opinion, it is still not in-depth enough. They still lack understanding of Athletic Bilbao.

Besides, they are Englishmen, and Ringkele does not hate Manchester United, and Ince is even an old Manchester United player. There is no reason why Ferguson poured cold water before the game when he was there. It would be bad if this thing was passed into the petty Ferguson's ears.

Of course, if Manchester United loses its mark after the game, they can complain as much as they want and avoid Ferguson.

Cheryl said he didn't understand Wensheng's words, "Manchester United is still very powerful!"

"Where are they strong?! It's reasonable to say on the front line. Rooney and Berbatov are good at abilities, and the others are just making up for the numbers. As for the midfield and defense line, who else can do the trick except the veteran?!" Wen Sheng asked a rebel question.

"People have hallucinated Manchester United's strength because of Ferguson. In fact, I think Manchester United is getting worse every year now. There are too many young people and too many inexperienced! Athletic Bilbao is different. People will ignore one thing, this team has a strong cohesion!"

Wensheng's illusion made Cheryl laugh, but Wensheng didn't care and continued to talk.

"Their team has always only players of Basque blood! It sounds a bit old and stubborn, but because of this factor, no matter how much Athletic Bilbao changes coaches, the possibility of turmoil will be smaller than that of other teams! How many have they changed coaches over the years?! Staying firmly in the "Basque" bloodline can still gain a foothold in the era of commercial football. What do they rely on?! Without strong cohesion, how could their team not be relegated?!"

As he spoke, Wensheng thought of Chinese football in his mind.

Athletic Bilbao is really special. They have discovered many geniuses and have never been relegated in La Liga. In terms of population base, there are not many Basque people who can provide blood to Athletic Bilbao, and there are only more than 1 million people around the world.

China is so big that you can learn how to explore football talents from Athletic Bilbao.

"Well, when can I talk about this idea to Wei Zhong? I can organize a good inspection in the Basque Country!" Wen Sheng wrote down this idea in his mind.

"Then, who is stronger than Manchester United now than Crystal Palace?!" Cheryl asked curiously.

"Of course it's us!" Wen Sheng said without hesitation, "If Manchester United were not seriously injured, they might be worthy of us, but Vidic was injured. Smalling, Jones, Evans, etc. cannot take the lead. How old is Ferdinand?! It's almost 34 years old! It's the end of his career! The problem of Manchester United's lack of a playmaker in the midfield is very serious. Scholes has made a comeback, but his age is there!"

"Tell me, can Manchester United compare with us like this?!"

Cheryl nodded in agreement, but there was no way Wensheng said what he said.

"It seems you are likely to lose today?!"

"That's not necessarily!" Wen Sheng smiled, "They have Ferguson!"

......

Ferguson was basically the main player in this game. Berbatov did not appear in the starting lineup without healing in this game. Only God knows whether it was a real injury or a fake injury. Rooney stood in front, Giggs, Ashley Young and separated on both sides. The midfield consisted of Park Ji-sung, Carrick and Clevily. The defense line Rafael, Evans, Ferdinand and Evra lined up.

Wen Sheng saw Manchester United's starting lineup and felt that Manchester United was afraid of being in trouble in this game.

Lu Xiaopang is not unable to play single forward, but he is not a striker who is particularly good at grabbing points. He thinks that Lu Xiaopang is more technical, and the ball is even more threatening when it is under his feet. He will often retreat to get the ball, and the second striker has many attributes.

If he withdraws from the penalty area and takes the support, who will go to the penalty area? Giggs? Ashley Young?!

Wensheng doesn't think they can do this job well.

If Ferguson really wants to win, he should send Hernandez.

Besides, their midfield lacks control. Wensheng doesn't think Carrick, Park Sanfei, and Clevily, who was praised, can have strong midfield control.

Clevily received extraordinary attention because of her debut at Manchester United, but she was blown up to the sky after playing one or two good goals. Then she could enter the Three Lions. The English players at Crystal Palace performed much better than him. Not to mention Hills, just say that Zaha, who performed well in West Blumwich, was not a little better than Clevily.

Looking at the start of the sir, hehe, Wen Sheng knew that you were being beaten up.
Chapter completed!
