Chapter 75 Competitions are coming one after another
,
spnManchester United fans have discovered that their favorite club will usher in major changes to the roster next season. The midfield and forwards will all make major adjustments. After a great season, Manchester United's current lineup is likely to fall apart, especially Manchester United.
The fans are proud of the offensive line. Tevez has little chance of staying. Although there have been no rumors about Ronaldo recently, everyone knows that after the change of Real Madrid president, Ronaldo is likely to leave. So what about Li Yu?
We can’t all leave!
The Premier League Player of the Month award for March was also won by Li Yu. This was a huge advantage. In the matches in March, Li Yu scored key goals every time and deservedly won the Player of the Month award.
Sir Alex Ferguson still won the best coach award, and Manchester United won the best coach award in March.
When Li Yudang heard the news, he seemed very excited. In fact, he was excited about the monthly best point reward. The advanced special training points he had just spent came back. The media did not know that there were still points in it this time.
They all thought Li Yu was excited because she was the best of the month!
While the players are happy, let’s quickly ask a question, “Winning Player of the Month will give me another bargaining chip in contract renewal negotiations with Manchester United?” [
"Contract extension? I'm still a newbie! You'd better visit my agent on this issue. He is usually responsible for contract matters, but I can say that I am very happy at Manchester United, no matter in the game.
I am still in my usual life, and I like everything here!”
Li Yu answered the question about contract renewal very sincerely, and his words also revealed his desire to stay at the club for a long time.
The media is also very satisfied with his answer. They also know all the news they want to know. The player himself has no objections to Li Yu's contract renewal. The most important issue now is the price. What will the renewed contract be like?
No one on either side will talk about the numbers anymore. They can only be known after everything is over.
"You have been living in seclusion recently. Have you encountered any problems?"
Finally, a reporter asked about Li Yu's inability to go out in the recent period. There are various versions of explanations outside. Now let's see what the player himself will say.
"Haha, in fact, there is nothing special. First of all, I want to thank everyone for caring about me. I am fine and there is no problem with my condition! There is no problem. I just don't want to move and want to have a good rest for a while. I haven't been able to
I want to have a good rest like this, and I will do the same at the end of the season. Except for necessary training, I will not go anywhere and rest at home! I am preparing for the next season's games, and for this reason I have also stopped a lot of business activities!"
Li Yu can basically explain the past, and media reporters can also understand that some professional players like to go on vacation, while Li Yu likes to stay at home. This is not surprising. Each person has his own way of resting.
As for dropping commercial activities, it shows that Li Yu still attaches great importance to football. This can only bring praise to Li Yu, but will not bring negative news at all. But by then, those brands that Li Yu endorses will not be mentioned by him.
Just a big name!
"Lee? I want to ask a question on behalf of the majority of female fans!"
Li Yu motioned for the reporter to continue, but he also knew in his heart that issues in private life, especially emotional issues, would always be the public's favorite hot-button issue no matter how to avoid it, and the media would not let it go easily if they had the opportunity.
Coming!
"Do you have a girlfriend? Please give us an accurate answer!"
"have!"
"Aren't you afraid that your answer will hurt the hearts of other female fans? Another question is, why does your girlfriend seem to have disappeared?"
"It's just a temporary separation. You may also know who my girlfriend is. She is in the United States!"
Li Yu answered simply. He didn't want to get entangled with the media on emotional issues anymore. After speaking, he bowed and left the media circle.
Media reporters are also Nai, why do they run away when they talk about personal relationship issues?
It is better to keep it secret than to openly let the public know, but Li Yu's own problem is not like this. After all, his girlfriend's father is opposed to their being together. Now he can't even make phone calls. It would be embarrassing enough to announce it!
In Li Yu's heart, the matter of dealing with Jenny has undergone certain changes after more than half a year of precipitation. After all, waiting like this is not the answer. After the end of next season, Li Yu will have to have an explanation.
, can the relationship between the two continue? Anyway, the rule of the nobleman now seems to be an impossible condition. It takes two years to stick to a relationship, which is enough!
When the time comes and we have to separate, it is better to make it clear. It is always not good to be unclear!
With the relationship issues having a general direction, Li Yu put all his thoughts on the upcoming Premier League. Although Manchester United is in first place in terms of points, they are only 4 points ahead of their opponent Liverpool. Manchester United's advantage is
With one game in hand, as long as they win this round's opponent Aston Villa and maintain a 4-point lead, Manchester United's pressure in the league will be reduced a lot.[
Manchester United has remained unbeaten with 20 wins and 3 draws in the past 23 meetings between the two sides.
The last time Villa defeated Manchester United was in the League Cup in October 1999. The league victory dates back to August 1995, and the victory at Old Trafford dates back to November 1983. The two sides have played 33 Premier League games, Manchester United 23
They have the upper hand with 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, including 12 wins and 5 draws at home. This is the 171st match between the two sides. Manchester United has the advantage with 86 wins, 36 draws and 48 losses.
In this campaign, Manchester United sat at home to face the challenge of Aston Villa. The two sides met 16 times at Old Trafford. The Red Devils had an overwhelming advantage with 13 wins and 3 draws, and they had won the last 6 times.
Ferdinand and Vidic both missed due to injuries, Rooney and Scholes were suspended, Gary Neville and Evans partnered as central defenders, O'Shea, Carrick and Nani rotated in.
Li Yu and Ronaldo both got the chance to start in the game and both appeared at the forward position. Ferguson's intention to score 3 points at home has been very obvious. As long as 3 points, there is no other choice.
Tevez sat on the bench. The news that he will leave Manchester United at the end of this season has been confirmed again from another aspect. Now he can only accept the position of substitute at Manchester United. It is just like Ferguson said, a substitute
Not that much transfer fee.
Liverpool had already scored 3 points on Fulham in the earlier game, and Manchester United must win to ensure their relatively safe 4-point lead!
Aston Villa, who is playing away from home, has been in very bad shape recently. Before this, Villa had been winless for 5 rounds in the Premier League. The fourth position in the standings has been taken away by Arsenal. Arsenal are missing center Hess in this game.
base.
The game was played at Old Trafford, creating a goal-scoring battle for the fans. In this battle, Manchester United passed the test 3:2. Ronaldo and Li Yu scored respectively, and the Portuguese scored 2 goals.
Aston Villa quickly equalized the game after Manchester United took the lead, and even overtook the score in the second half. At the end of the game, Li Yu stepped forward again and made the final decision to help Manchester United get 3 points as they wished. During the game
It was thrilling, it was almost a 1-point draw.
Manchester United took the lead in the 14th minute of the game. Friedel received Milner's back pass and was awarded an indirect free kick in the penalty area by referee Riley. Milner failed to retreat far enough and was given a yellow card. Giggs took the free kick.
- Ronaldo met the ball from 14 yards on the left side of the penalty area and fired the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Aston Villa equalized the score in the 30th minute. Barry got rid of two people on the right and passed in. Gary Neville's height limit restricted Kalu, allowing the Norwegian to easily swing his head 10 yards in front of the goal. Vander
Sa was also capable of such a header, and Villa equalized the game.
After that, Manchester United adjusted their defense, with Gary Neville switching to the wing and O'Shea moving to the center to make up for the height disadvantage of the defense.
After 1-1, the two sides reached a deadlock, and no one changed the score until the end of the first half.
The deadlock continued at the beginning of the second half. In the first 10 minutes, only Fletcher's shot in the penalty area missed.
Villa took the lead in the 58th minute. Petrov stole the ball in the backcourt and Ronaldo passed the ball. Carew made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Agbonlahor, who was defending from 5 yards, scored with a header before Van der Sar attacked.
It's his first goal in nearly 2 months.
1:2 Manchester United allowed Aston Villa to reverse the score at their home court. This situation may not have been expected by anyone before the game. Facing the powerful Manchester United, the Villa players actually burst out with strong fighting power. There was no trace of it at all.
It is a common phenomenon for Premier League teams to be weak when encountering Manchester United.
The lagging Manchester United continued to exert pressure, but the score never changed. The away team was still in the lead, Aston Villa. It was not until the 80th minute of the game that Manchester United tied the score. Carrick passed the ball from the middle of the penalty area, Ronaldo
Direct left-footed low shot from 22 yards
, the ball went straight into the lower right corner, 2 to 2, Ronaldo brought the two teams back to the same starting line, but Ferguson on the sidelines was obviously not very satisfied with the score. He was using gestures to instruct the Manchester United players to quickly return to their own half.
field, quickly resume the game.
Li Yu was also looking anxious. His previous shots were not very lucky. They were either blocked or missed. He himself was also surprised. Once something good happens, such as winning the monthly award, there must be some problems later. This time
It seems that the wind of the foot is not smooth in the game. The placement is accurately judged, but it is useless to shoot without the wind of the foot. The standard of a forward on the crossbar is not how many balls he grabs but where the ball lands, but the goal. There is no goal.
Nothing happened, the media found fault.
You must score, there are still 10 minutes left in the game, there is still time!
By the time the fourth official raised the stoppage time card, the score was still 2-2, but the big red letters on the injury time card made Villa fans go into an uproar. Five minutes of stoppage time were required.
It was in these 5 minutes that Manchester United completed a magical reversal in the 93rd minute. Giggs passed the ball from the wing. Li Yu stopped the ball and turned around to easily get rid of Luke Young behind him. At this time, in this position
, allowing Li Yu to escape so easily. It has to be said that in the final stoppage time, Aston Villa's defense, which had always performed well before,
The defensive system was in chaos at this moment. No Villa players appeared in front of Li Yu to block it. Li Yu knew that this was a good opportunity to score a goal. In order to increase his chances of scoring, Li Yu did not choose to hit the goal vigorously.
It was a shot from 16 yards on the left side of the penalty area. The ball hit the right post and entered the net. Li Yu's timely adjustment achieved immediate results.[
This goal was not Li Yu’s previous powerful style, but Manchester United fans were still extremely excited. This goal came at such a critical time, and the winner in stoppage time said, "leelee!"
The shouts and cheers definitely far exceeded Ronaldo's first two goals. Ferguson was jumping up and down on the sidelines with excitement. At this moment, the coach in charge of Manchester United was more like a naughty boy. One goal changed a lot, and it was so exciting.
, Li Yu, who had bad foot conditions throughout the game, also used this pill.
The goals proved his worth. At critical moments, this young man from China can always step forward. In the words of the media after the game, Li Yu was born for the big scene, and he also has a powerful heart.
Heart, only he can play a role at critical moments.
In fact, it was not easy for Manchester United to win this game.
In terms of personnel, Ferguson's team is seriously unorganized. Ferdinand is injured and Vidic cannot play. Rooney is suspended. O'Neal may have said this when mobilizing before the game: "Facing such a Manchester United, what are you afraid of?!"
In terms of schedule and physical effort, Manchester United also worked to the limit.
In the last 77 days, the Red Devils have played a total of 20 games, averaging one game every 385 days.
Coupled with the impact of the international match day in the middle of last week, Ronaldo, Fletcher and others also participated in their respective national team games. Manchester United can fight back despite fatigue and unfavorable situations. The support for them is largely due to their mental strength.
This is reminiscent of a game in the 2005-06 season. At that time, Manchester United was closing in on Chelsea at the top of the list. In the home game against West Ham, the Blues conceded a goal first and then was sent off in the 16th minute.
Man, it looks like Mourinho's team is facing collapse.
But at this time, Chelsea showed amazing enthusiasm, relying on the unity of 10 people to score 4 goals in a row.
Facts have proved that that game from almost losing to a miraculous comeback set the final tone for the season's championship. Manchester United continued to catch up, and Chelsea won the championship smoothly.
In a sense, winning such key goals is not only the key to points and situation, but more importantly, it sends a strong declaration, which has an immeasurable effect on boosting one's own morale and dampening Liverpool's arrogance. Ferguson said:
"We've been through this process many times before, and I think you can
It's a bit like the dramatic victory in 1993." 16 years ago, in the match against Sheffield Wednesday, Bruce's stoppage-time header won Manchester United the first league title under Ferguson. Both history and reality show that when they need it most,
When gritting their teeth and resisting, Manchester United never lacks tenacity and bloodiness.
Ronaldo and Li Yu also scored 8 points after the game and were elected as the highest-scoring players in the Manchester United team. However, Ferguson focused on Li Yu after the game.
After the game, Ferguson praised Li Yudao: "I noticed at the beginning that his foot wind was not very good, and he has been working hard to adjust. He has some good running positions and is always a threat. In the second half, he once stole the ball.
point, i think that could have been a
Penalty kick. After the game, I said to him, well done. He always makes people get excited about the game. The key goal will make him the focus of the media in the next few days. This kind of thing has happened often. I think
There is no need to tell him how to face the media."
Two days later, Manchester United was still at home, but the opponent had been replaced by the Portuguese Super League team Porto. With Manchester United's current state, the media were not sure whether they could establish the advantage of promotion in one home game. One fact proved that the media's worries were not
It doesn't make sense.
Manchester United's defense, which used to be strong, seems to have become very fragile recently. Injuries and fatigue have made Europe's most solid defense full of holes. Ferdinand's situation is also worrying. His groin injury has not healed. The young man
Defender Evans may miss some games due to the same problem.
This is no longer the Manchester United defense that often kept clean sheets against opponents at the beginning of the season, and the opponents they face next are not weaklings. Everyone knows that an away goal in such a Champions League knockout round is definitely worth a fortune. The first leg away game
The fighting Portuguese team will definitely try every means to score valuable away goals.
Whether Manchester United can successfully advance to the Champions League semi-finals depends on the performance of Manchester United's defense.
There is another biggest hidden danger, which was also exposed by the British media.
Before the start of the 31st round of the league, the Premier League asked Manchester United whether the game against Aston Villa would be scheduled on Saturday or Sunday. Ferguson chose Sunday, hoping to slow down the impact of the midweek international match.
But this also means that Manchester United will face Porto two days after playing Villa. Can the players return to their best condition in two days?
Obviously no. Sunday's game was extremely intense. Aston Villa did not give the Manchester United players any chance to relax on the field. Fatigue is certain. The only question is whether the Manchester United players can persist in completing the crucial Champions League knockout round.
In the Champions League, even if there are differences in strength between teams, the difference will not be too big. A mistake in a detail may change the balance between the two teams. Whether Ferguson's choice is correct depends on this.
Comments will be made after the game is over!
The British media placed almost all their bets on Manchester United's forward attack. This was the only thing that satisfied the media before the game. As long as Ronaldo and Li Yu performed well, there should be no problem in defeating the opponent.
