spnThe focus battle between Manchester United and Arsenal has not yet begun, but good news has come from Manchester United.
The official website of Manchester United announced that captain Gary Neville has reached a consensus with the club to extend his contract at Old Trafford until June 2010. He has also become the "three old men of Manchester United" as the relay player for Scholes and Gil After Gus, he is the third Red Devils veteran to sign a contract extension. At this point, Manchester United's "92 Golden Generation" has also completed a Grand Slam contract extension, with the contract period ending in June 2010.
As the current captain of Manchester United, this is Gary Neville's 17th season at Old Trafford. Since the UEFA Cup match against Torpedo Moscow on September 16, 1992, he has represented Manchester United in a total of official games. He played 565 times and scored 7 goals. Among the current players of the Red Devils, Gary Neville ranks third in the number of appearances, second only to Giggs' 788 games and Scholes' 590 games.
Regarding this contract extension, Gary Neville is happy but also said that it is difficult to imagine that he will play for a second club besides Manchester United. "Manchester United is the only one in my mind. I just want to play for Manchester United." , I am very happy to extend my contract for one year."
Last week, Manchester United's appearance record holder Ryan Giggs just completed his contract extension, followed closely by Gary Neville, and Paul Scholes, who successfully renewed his contract on October 3 last year. The "three veterans of Manchester United" have already All of them have renewed their contracts with the club until June 2010. For his three proud disciples, Ferguson said that their contract renewals can continue the team's tradition. "Gary, Ryan and Paul symbolize the spirit of Manchester United. For Gary, "I am very happy to renew my contract for one year," Sir Alex Ferguson told Manchester United's official website. "Gary is a truly professional player. Although he has been recovering from injuries for more than a year, I admire him for his brave return to the game. , he deserves this contract extension, and we are all very happy to have him in the team."[
In March 2007, Gary Neville was sidelined for a long time due to groin and ankle injuries. He only appeared once in the Champions League against Roma last season. During this period, Brown has been the team's main right back and performed well. This time As young player Rafael began to emerge this season, Gary Neville's playing time was further reduced. However, Ferguson still has great trust in this 17-year veteran, and this one-year contract extension is the best proof. And Scott Johns, Ryan Giggs and Neville also renewed their contracts until June 2010.
There is no such thing as Chinese superstition in Britain, but it is doubtful that good news before the war can boost morale.
Although they are tired, their opponents are not much better. What remains is the morale competition between the players of the two teams. Manchester United has a huge strength advantage in terms of personnel. Manchester United fans have reason to believe that with the continuous good news, Manchester United will win. His home stadium, Old Trafford, will definitely provide fans with a wonderful game.
Chinese fans are also waiting for the game. Many bars have displayed posters of Li Yu early. Come and cheer for Manchester United!
In fact, these advertising slogans already seem a bit redundant. By then, the bar will definitely usher in a peak of watching football. After all, watching football at home will still be scrupulous. There is no way to compare with it. Just invite a few friends to have a lively time in the bar. Watching football, but this habit of watching football is not yet popular among the older generation in China. Watching football in bars is still the first choice for the younger generation of fans.
Li Yu did not feel how important this game was as people said. Arsenal is an extremely familiar opponent. No one between the two teams is too unfamiliar. When he was at Everton,
Li Yu can always hear Arsenal being linked to his then teammate Arteta, no
But now it seems that the British media's ability to deceive is really good. Currently, Arteta is still in the Everton team, but he has already joined the Manchester United team. Facing an unfamiliar opponent, he lacks the excitement in his heart.
It makes him feel confident, which is better, and he will be more confident when facing familiar opponents.
Especially now that the morale of the Manchester United team is high and the game is at home, Li Yu can't think of anything detrimental to Manchester United. Now he is just waiting for the game to come and go to the stadium to enjoy the game.
Li Yu's thoughts were a bit too simple. When he walked out of the players' tunnel, he still felt the difference from previous games. The theme song of the Champions League was played on the spot, and the players from both teams stood side by side with solemn expressions.
In the row, the huge Champions League logo was held high by many ball boys.
At this moment, Li Yu realized that the semi-finals of the Champions League were no ordinary Premier League match, and his heart was throbbing unconsciously. The blood in his body seemed to be tumbling in his body with the throbbing of his heart at this moment.
I don’t know why, but the music before the start alone can make everyone feel the importance of the game.
Li Yu looked at the stands in front of him, where there were already Manchester United fans who raised the proposed Big Ear Cup and kept waving it in their hands, "Just wait, the real trophy will definitely come, just like last season.
Manchester United will have it!"
Seeing all this, Li Yu secretly vowed in his heart that he would get a real trophy for the fans.
On the way to the stadium, Li Yu has seen the trophy in the hands of the fans more than once. Although it is all fake and made of paper, as long as he sees their excitement, he will never forget this paper trophy.
It can also make them so crazy, kissing, raising their hands high, and shaking their hands, just like the moment when the players get the real trophy. What lovely fans!
The on-site commentary at Old Trafford has begun to introduce the lineups of the two teams. When the Spanish captain in Arsenal's starting team raised his arm and waved to the fans, Manchester United fans were responding to the Spaniard with their boos.
, of course, the fans of Arsenal who traveled with the team to the away game were also shouting hard for their captain, but compared with the boos produced by Manchester United fans, the visiting team fans were obviously weak.
This season, the Spanish genius has taken on the captain's armband at Arsenal. One of the youngest captains in the history of the Premier League, he is Cesc Fabregas, the Spanish genius midfielder. Now he has become a controversial figure in Arsenal's midfield.
The brain, all offenses must move forward with him.
Obviously Manchester United fans also understand the role of Cesc Fabregas in the Arsenal team. When the visiting team was introduced, he was the one who booed the loudest in the Arsenal team, and the one who was slightly less booed than him was Theo Walcott.
This young player has good speed and can always score amazing goals from the right wing, but all of this is nothing, because the next one to introduce is the Manchester United generals.
The goalkeeper is still the familiar Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar. This veteran goalkeeper is known as the fat head in China and has always been the best choice to start the Manchester United goalkeeper position.
"It still lacks a hanging bead, and he is exactly like Fat Tou Tuo from The Deer and the Cauldron!" People's joking voices have already been heard in many bars in China.[
The names of the Manchester United generals were shouted out one by one by the on-site commentator, and the players were greeted with a stronger response than the one just heard from the loudspeaker. Who else could it be? Manchester United fans were cheering for the players they supported.
When Ronaldo was shouted, the scene erupted into a small climax. The slogans shouted by the fans made everyone intuitively feel how much the Manchester United fans love the Portuguese number 7 of Manchester United next to them.
people.
However, the players in the second group may not be as loud as Ronaldo in terms of fans' movements, but they are absolutely shocking. Moreover, Manchester United has several players in the second group, including Rooney, Li Yu, and Ferdinand.
The number of shouts won is second only to Ronaldo.
The game was about to start. On the sidelines, Ferguson and Wenger were preparing to shake hands.
This is actually very interesting. When Arsenal and Manchester United play, Ferguson and Wenger can always shake hands with a smile and occasionally exchange a few words, even though the two have been fighting for nearly 10 years.
The subway fans in the main stand of Old Trafford kept shouting "Manchester United" and "Defending", creating a huge momentum. Although there were only a few thousand people in the away team's stands, Arsenal fans
Not showing weakness, they tried their best to chant Arsenal's name and cheer for their team. However, compared with the loudness of the home fans, the shouts of the visiting fans seemed a bit insignificant and more like the noisy live environment.
A little noise coming from the room.
'European Champions Cup... the semi-finals are here, here I come!!', Li Yu took a deep breath and said in her heart while kicking her legs.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded and the game officially started.
No, it should be said that the battle has begun. The battle between Manchester United and Arsenal will always be full of passion. There is no need for the double-playing head coach to say anything more before the game. The players of the two teams will rush out like warriors!
After the game started, the home team Manchester United, with the belief that they must win, broke out into a crazy offensive climax. In fact, Old Trafford is definitely one of the stadiums with the highest winning rate among all the stadiums in Europe. The Red Devils
The Theater of Dreams is often the birthplace of nightmares for other teams. Their combat effectiveness can often be improved by dozens of percentage points compared to the away game. In this regard, a Manchester United fan once said with a pious face that this is because the heroes in the plane crash are all
Cheering for their children in heaven.
No probing attacks!
The game quickly became intense at the opening stage. The two teams were so familiar with each other that they could no longer be familiar with each other. Manchester United launched a tidal wave of attacks towards Arsenal's goal.
Under Manchester United's offensive, the Manchester United fans in the stands at Old Trafford went crazy. As long as a Manchester United player controlled the ball, they would burst into crazy applause and cheers.
And as soon as an Arsenal player gets the ball, the cheers that were boiling like boiling water half a second ago immediately turn into boos, and as soon as Arsenal's young captain Cesc Fabregas gets the ball, the entire Old Terrace
Ford Stadium was absolutely filled with overwhelming boos. Unless the football left the Spaniard's feet, the boos would not stop but intensify!
Who makes him the captain of the mortal enemy Arsenal? It seems that the captain is sometimes the primary target of everyone's attacks, especially when playing away games.
Li Yu received the pass from Anderson, and he controlled the football at his feet. The boos immediately broke out. There was no need to warm up at all, and they reached a climax immediately.
Li Yu and Fabregas were entangled in the midfield. Li Yu fell to the ground. He sat on the ground and raised his hand to indicate that Fabregas had fouled him. The referee shook his finger and asked Li Yu to get up quickly.
Shhhhh!!
The fans at Manchester United's home court became even more disengaged, seeing that their players were suffering, and it was Cesc Fabregas who was responsible for it.
Fortunately, when the Huaxia fans were watching the live broadcast, even though the director had minimized the noise at the scene, the Huaxia fans watching the live broadcast could still clearly hear the huge boos from the fans at the scene.
Li Yu also felt a different atmosphere. Not only the players, but also the fans in the stands were more excited and intense than usual games.
Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack.[
Adebayor received a pass from Fabregas and planned to break through and shoot.
Evra immediately came up to defend, and the two got entangled. Evra thought he had blocked the angle of Adebayor's shot. The next second, he saw the Togolese shooter dexterously flicking the football.
At the same time, he pulled his body horizontally, found this fleeting shooting opening, and shot with his feet!
Even though Adebayor is tall, his skills at his feet are equally good and his shooting is very powerful. To be able to establish himself as the main shooter in a Premier League giant like Arsenal, it is impossible without two brushes.
The ball was in front of the goal. It was very dangerous. Van der Sar did not dare to be careless and threw the ball out of the bottom line.
Then the Dutch veteran got up and roared at Evra for his victory, "Lean on, you are too weak!"
Cesc Fabregas's corner kick passed into the penalty area and Toure grabbed the point. However, his header failed to withstand the force and went wide.
Even so, several exclamations could still be heard clearly at Old Trafford. The home Manchester United fans did not want their team to be scored by their opponents right now.
Then, the next moment, Li Yu received a pass from O'Shea in the frontcourt. The cheers immediately turned into shouts. The camera kept following Li Yu. His face was cold and scary. It was his fall to the ground just now that caused this
Continuous threats in front of the goal.
Is this a precursor to an outbreak?
In the 13th minute of the game, Anderson was fouled by Song in the frontcourt and he immediately took a free kick.
The football came to Ronaldo's feet. Diaby knew how powerful the Portuguese was and immediately stepped forward to intercept it.
Ronaldo stepped on the football and used his skillful foot skills to ensure that the football would not be taken away. Then he leaned to the left and suddenly pulled the ball.
Diaby immediately judged that he was about to break through, stretched his legs to intercept, but saw the football rolling past his feet. Faced with Diaby's entanglement, Ronaldo passed the ball.
Rooney came up to respond, and the little fat man leaned on Sylvester behind him, but he made a half-turn shovel pass, and the football flew into the penalty area.
"Nice pass!!" Ferguson couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Li Yu rushed towards the ball, and Arsenal's strong central defender Toure followed him closely. The Senegalese central defender made many small moves with his hands. He pulled Li Yu's clothes back, and at the same time he was preparing to tackle with his feet.
, as long as the football is shoveled out of the bottom line, even giving Manchester United a corner kick is no big deal.
Li Yu's feet were guarding the football, looking for opportunities.
The fans at the Old Trafford Stadium had already stood up and were concentrating on the Arsenal penalty area. When Li Yu ran towards the football, the stadium had become quiet. At this time, seeing him entangled with Toure, the scene
Manchester United fans are even more nervous!
In the sudden silence, even the Chinese fans watching the live broadcast felt the tension. Some fans who were pouring wine did not notice at all that the beer in the cup was already full and overflowed at this time. They had been pouring wine.
Staring at the big screen.
On the sidelines, Ferguson stood up. The old man clenched his fists and murmured: "Don't give them face! They should shoot! No. 9 should shoot!"
At this time, in front of the goal, Almunia has already attacked. He is the kind of goalkeeper who is very active in front of the goal. Arsenal's goalkeepers have always required a wide range of activities and bold attacks.
However, at this time, Almunia's attack allowed Li Yu to see the fleeting opportunity. He leaned back as hard as possible, balanced with his other hand, stretched his body, and then touched the football with the toe of his right foot.
, poke in the opposite direction!
The football flew up, and Almunia, who was already attacking, was startled when he noticed Li Yu's movements. He was about to make some move, but suddenly found that the football was not moving towards the goal at all, but was stabbed out of the ball by Li Yu.
restricted area.
"No, don't let him shoot!" Almunia immediately discovered the threat and shouted loudly to the defensive player.
As Li Yu cleverly passed the ball out of the penalty area, people discovered that O'Shea had assisted to the edge of the opponent's penalty area, and now there was an open space in front of him, and no Arsenal player stepped forward to defend.
When O'Shea received Li Yu's pass, he raised his foot and shot without any hesitation.
Although Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia, who was halfway through the attack, touched the ball with his hand, he could not change the ball's path and could only watch the score on the field become 1-0, and Manchester United took the lead.
A golden goal. It can be said that most of the credit for this goal must be recorded on Li Yu. Without his perfect distribution of the ball, O'Shea, a defender with his footwork, would not know how long it would take to score a goal.
Woolen cloth!
After scoring the goal, O'Shea ran to Li Yu immediately, "Boy, the pass was really great. This is the best shot I have ever made, and the ball went in, haha!"
"It's a feeling, it's just a feeling!" Li Yu didn't dare to tell the truth. He didn't pay attention at all. He just felt that his teammates were there. Judging from the position, it should be where Rooney appeared. Then he passed the ball and said
To be honest, if he knew where O'Shea was, he might have handled it himself, but now it seems that the ball was passed correctly!
ps: I’m finally back. I’ve been taken to the deep mountains and forests for the past two days to expand, and my mobile phone has no signal. I’m worried. It’s not easy to come back. I can resume updates today!
