spnBenitez and Gerrard failed to see Manchester United make mistakes as they wished.
In the 151st Manchester Derby, relying on two first-half goals from Ronaldo and Tevez, the Red Devils defeated their city rivals 2-0 cleanly and continued to maintain their lead over Liverpool, which had defeated West Ham 3-0 as a guest the day before.
.
If they visit **B Stadium this Wednesday, the Red Devils can win Wigan and will be 6 points ahead of Liverpool. This means that in the last two rounds of the league against Arsenal and Hull City, as long as Manchester United gets one point, Liverpool will only be able to win.
We can watch Ferguson's team win three consecutive championships from 1999 to 2001 and equal his record of 18 English top league titles.
In the past 115 years, Manchester United and Manchester City have met 150 times, and Manchester United has achieved a superior record of 60 wins, 49 draws and 41 losses.
The two sides met for the 140th time in the league.[
Last season, Manchester City beat Manchester United twice in the league for the first time since 1974. The Red Devils lost 1-2 to Manchester City at home 15 months ago. It was Manchester United's first home game after commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster. Ferdinand
I have never forgotten that humiliating defeat, but due to a minor injury, the England defender was not included in the squad and sat on the bench to watch the game, while Li Yu simply sat in the stands.
Ferguson, who just won the Premier League's Best Coach of the Month in April, received the unfortunate news before Tuesday's Champions League semi-final with Arsenal that his 10-year-old grandson Charlie was involved in a car accident and was seriously injured.
After defeating Arsenal, Ferguson quickly rushed back to Manchester and stayed at his grandson Charlie's bedside all night.
Before the game, fans and Mark Hughes sent their blessings to Ferguson's grandson.
In addition, Wes Brown's foot injury worsened seriously and he was forced to bid farewell to this season.
Rooney, Tevez, Giggs, Evans and Rafael rotated into the starting lineup, with the Italian Jr. on the bench.
Giggs, who participated in the derby for the 27th time in 18 years, wore the captain's armband.
In the first round of this season, Manchester United visited Manchester City and defeated their opponent with Rooney's only goal, but Ronaldo received a red card and left the game.
Manchester City captain Dunn criticized Manchester United superstar Ronaldo before the game for liking to act and accuse the referee, implying that Portugal always likes to dive!
Ronaldo did not receive a red card in this battle, but he directly sealed Dunn's mouth with a beautiful free kick goal.
Robinho, who hoped to challenge Ronaldo in the league's top scorer list, threatened Manchester United's goal with a long shot in the 29th minute, but he was not accurate.
Two minutes later, Tevez's shot hit the crossbar. The Argentine complained about his status at Manchester United before the game and hinted that he would leave Manchester United at the end of the season, but he still showed his fighting spirit on the court.
In the 45th minute, the beast's efforts were rewarded. Berba unloaded the ball beautifully and turned around to knock it across. Tevez hit the right post from the far corner and into the net. 2-0, Manchester United was almost over in the first half.
fighting.
Ronaldo's outburst was not limited to the field. In order to save time for the make-up match at Wigan next Wednesday, Ferguson replaced Ronaldo, Park Ji-sung and Evans successively in the second half.
But the Portuguese was on the rise. When he was replaced by Scholes in the 59th minute, he was extremely dissatisfied and took away the coat given to him by the coaching staff and threw it to the ground. After returning to the bench, Ronaldo also
He shook his head.
After the game, Ferguson did not criticize Ronaldo's mood. "He just wants to stay on the field, but I want to keep every player in good condition. We still have many games." When talking about Tevez, Ferguson emphasized that Argentina He is still a Manchester United player. As for the game, "The game is not beautiful, but that's how Derby usually goes." Three days later, Manchester United will visit Wigan. Sir Alex Ferguson said, "They will fight hard and so will we, if we win If you win, you will win this season.”
In the early days of taking charge of Manchester City, Mark Hughes said that he would lead Manchester City to get better and better.
After defeating Blackburn in the last round, Mark Hughes' Manchester City achieved their best result so far this season, winning three consecutive league games.
If you include the UEFA Cup victory over Hamburg, Manchester City has won four consecutive games.[
However, such results are different from those of the Red Devils in their heyday.
"Manchester City is the more popular team in Manchester." Dutch midfielder De Jong of Manchester City has already felt this atmosphere shortly after arriving. "Manchester City is the real people's team. In this city, more fans are blue. se instead of red. It's true, this is a working class club. People in Manchester can love this club because they are workers. They are very proud of it and that's why Manchester City is so important locally. The reason is, not globally, but locally.”
However, after the United Arab Emirates Abu Dhabi United Development and Investment Group acquired Manchester City, it wanted "the most popular team in the world". Therefore, the team made aggressive signings in the summer and winter transfer markets to acquire Robinho. Bellamy and other stars attract subordinates.
Just one Robinho is not enough, and the Brazilians also understand that the club needs to increase investment in the next few years to truly compete with world-class clubs like Manchester United.
Ferdinand said that Manchester City is not afraid yet, because it will take time for them to become the top player in the Premier League. "I don't know whether the level of Manchester Derby has improved as a whole. It is indeed a bit strange." The current owner of Manchester City has injected huge amounts of money into the club, but I don't think they have changed much. If they get more financial support, I am sure they will be more successful, both in the cup and in the league. Ranking.”
The media are discussing how much money Mark Hughes will have to spend after the season. It is said that the Manchester City board of directors has decided to make a series of major acquisitions to ensure that the team will be more competitive in the second year. Media reports say that Mark Hughes has planned to Spanish midfielder Alonso was acquired from Liverpool this summer for £18 million.
But in Ferguson's view, getting the right person is not as simple as fans think: "It will be a busy summer for Manchester City. The most important thing is the player's utility. Many clubs do not want to use them players are sold to any club, which is admirable. Buying and selling players this summer will be difficult. You may have made a list of players you are interested in, but now that list has been reduced by 50%. Because clubs are all They don’t want to sell their players. And then there are many clubs. They know that Manchester City has money. So they will increase the price of all the players that Manchester City likes and sell them to Manchester City at unreasonable high prices. Hughes must try to verify all his players. The real value of the players you want, and that's a difficult thing."
This is also true. If Manchester City wants to truly compete with Manchester United, even spending money is not a problem that can be solved in a short time. Before that, the influence of the Manchester Derby can only stay in this city.
When the media summarizes this game, they always briefly state what happened in the second half.
Although Li Yu did not watch the second half of the game, the second half was not inferior to the first half at all.
However, it is not the excitement on the playing field, but the two accidents that happened during the game that attracted attention!
In the 59th minute, Ferguson felt that he had a chance to win, so he replaced Ronaldo with Scholes. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xng started to kill. He was still interested and did not want to end the game. He was very dissatisfied with Ferguson's scheduling and showed his displeasure with various body language. He was dissatisfied.
He was replaced early, and when he came off the field, he threw the shirt handed to him from the bench hard to the side.
The media saw this and swarmed after the game to make headlines.
Ferguson's reaction was: "We have three days to prepare for a tough game in Wigan. I will keep the team energetic. Manchester United has such a huge lineup, and I must make the best use of it." Ferguson has already participated in this midweek game.
Ferdinand, Carrick, Rooney, Anderson and O'Shea were excluded from the main lineup in the Champions League.
In this world, Ronaldo is probably the only person who dares to act arrogantly with Ferguson in public. In the 59th minute of last week's Derby, Ferguson made a move and replaced Ronaldo with Scholes, who was present.
Bian showed an expression of disbelief. Not only did he react coldly to the Italian young player who stretched out his hands to give a high five, but he also got angry on the way back to the bench and knocked the shirt handed by a staff member to the ground. The camera captured him saying
He said: "What a joke!" For the remaining half hour, he kept shaking his head and frowning, and left the court less than 15 minutes after the game ended.
The hype value of Ronaldo's above-mentioned behavior far exceeds that of his beautiful free kick. Almost all British media used the same words to describe his impudent attitude.
Ferguson was as lenient as ever, looking at his favorite's willfulness from a positive perspective. It's a good thing that he wants to play football: "He wants to continue playing. He is in such good condition, but I have to take the overall situation into consideration. We have to keep him as sharp as possible. He wants to
Then he played very well. You know his character. His physical fitness is really strong. He ran from the beginning to the end against Arsenal on Tuesday and worked very hard. I have to consider visiting Wigan on Wednesday and facing Arsenal on Saturday. He has nothing to do with it.
The problem is, Wednesday's game is not easy to play, I have to continue to rotate, let's change two or three people, we have so many players, I have to have everyone play."
Ferguson didn't take offense to Ronaldo playing tricks on him, but several of Manchester United's seniors couldn't stand it.
Former captain Bryan Robson and defender Parker, as well as the forward combination of York and Cole, belong to two generations of Red Devils. They publicly criticized Mr. Sanli for not giving Ferguson face, and warned him: Going against Ferguson will never end well!
There is no precedent for Manchester United players to confront Ferguson, but the future of each one is uncertain: Stam insisted on publishing an autobiography to expose the inside story of Manchester United, but was sold to Lazio; Beckham's high-profile private life made Ferguson intolerable, and his flying boots broke.
He was later sold to Real Madrid; because of his personal expansion, he proclaimed himself the "Governor", and Ferguson gave him the nickname "Big Fool" before selling him to Inter Milan; Ruud van Nistelrooy is the darling of Old Trafford.
, but the relationship with Ronaldo was at loggerheads. Ferguson did not allow him to participate in the League Cup final and Keane's farewell game. After the 2006 World Cup, he was also sold to Real Madrid as a military favorite. The leader was so fierce. Ronaldo openly challenged Ferguson's authority.
The media interpreted it as: Mr. Sanliu will definitely leave in the summer.
Robson is now Manchester United's global goodwill ambassador. He thinks Ronaldo has not led the way: "I think Ronaldo's reaction was wrong. It sets a bad example for children watching the game around the world. Players disobeying the coach's decision is
No, they have to respect the coach, especially a coach like Sir Alex Ferguson."
Parker pointed out that Ronaldo offended his teammates by doing this: "To put it lightly, it is disrespectful to the staff, and to put it seriously, it is disrespectful to the coach and teammates. Even if he has great ambitions, Ronaldo is not as good as the other 10 teammates.
It can't be done. Some people say that Manchester United can't do it without Ronaldo. Ferguson has to coax Ronaldo like he appeased Cantona. But Cantona doesn't play football to applaud the stands, and he will never be as unruly as Ronaldo. He
Need to apologize to the team."[
Ronaldo recently clarified his future at Manchester United. Parker jng warned that it is best to match his words with his deeds. If you take yourself too seriously, you will not stay at Manchester United for long: "Only Ferguson knows how to deal with these things. He made many people leave Manchester United and Manchester United still won."
League and Champions League.”
As the most tacit and productive combination in the history of Manchester United, Yorke and Cole, the two most powerful strikers back then, were deeply touched by this.
Cole joked that Ronaldo might need a hairdryer if he made such a fuss: "I was surprised to see Ronaldo lose his temper. We can make wild guesses about what the boss will do, but Ferguson always has his own way of dealing with such things." Cole understood Ronaldo.
Motives for hoping to score more goals: "You want to play, yes, professional players think so. He must be thinking about the Golden Boot Award. He saw Gerrard scored two goals the day before and was anxious. Ronaldo must be unhappy, but the head coach
Know how to treat them with love."
Yorke directly offended Ferguson, you are dead: "Throwing things and pouting is not cool, the head coach is the helmsman, he has the final say. If you are unhappy, you can go to the office and tell him, and you must not do it in public. I represented the representative at that time
I had a chance to score a hat-trick on my debut for Manchester United, but I was substituted after scoring two goals. I was also unhappy. I haven't started in the FA Cup final yet, but I've never been like Ronaldo. Solskjaer scored a lot of goals.
Aren’t you willing to be a substitute?”
Ronaldo was dissatisfied with Ferguson's substitutions, while Tevez was equally dissatisfied with his situation at Manchester United.
After scoring the team's second goal in the Manchester derby, Tevez ran to the fans on the sidelines of the south stand, put his hands behind his ears and listened to the cheers. The top of the stand in that direction was where the directors' box was. Manchester United president David Gill and
Director Sir Bobby Charlton was watching.
Coupled with the Argentinian's complaints before the game, Tevez's move was seen as a demonstration to the club's senior management.
But Tevez said after the game that his celebration towards the south stand was not directed at David Gill, but at the press box.
Joorabchian said, "He was just running in the wrong direction, and he asked me before the game last week if there was an article in the newspaper about him, and I said, 'Yeah, they said you weren't a prolific shooter.
’ And he said, ‘I wonder where the press box is? I’m going to give them my ears when I score.’”
Tevez's defense may be true, but his embarrassment at Manchester United is equally true.
Last summer transfer, Gil had stated that he would finalize the Argentinian's signing in September, but the deal was not completed until the end of the winter transfer.
The transfer fee is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for Tevez to stay at Old Trafford, but everything depends on Ferguson's attitude. However, after acquiring Manchester United's golden boy Li Yu, Sir Alex Ferguson began to be vague about Tevez's future.
Words.
Ruoko, another agent of Tevez, said in an interview with "Ole" not long ago that Manchester United executives and coaches have indeed not mentioned a new contract. "By May 31st, he will have no club and no contract.
I don't know why, but Manchester United didn't make any request to renew or sign him for next season."
If Manchester United cannot finalize Tevez's official transfer before May 31st, the Argentinian will have to leave Manchester United. Tevez's agent Joorabchian said, "This has always been his attitude. He hopes to do the best he can."
Well, he will let the season end and then sit down and assess the situation. He wants to go to a club that really has ambitious goals, a team that can really fight to be champions of England, Europe and any competition. It's clear that leaving Manchester United
He would have to join a rival club to achieve that goal."
"The Sun" revealed that the Red Army had contacted Joorabchian, and Tevez had no objection to going to Liverpool. The Daily Mail also showed Tevez wearing a Red Army fan and appearing with Benidis.
Composite picture.
Another possible buyer is Manchester City, but the Guardian said that Tevez himself had expressed his unwillingness to choose Manchester City because he would not be able to face Manchester United fans.
The "Daily Star" revealed that Milan may buy Tevez for 20 million pounds, with a four-year contract and an annual salary of 5 million pounds. The origin of this rumor may be Tevez's agent Joorabchian Zhou R
Watch Milan's 1-1 Serie A draw with Juventus at San Siro.
Ferguson certainly does not want the Beast to join the Red Devils' arch-enemy, and Manchester United is not doing nothing. "The Sun" revealed that Manchester United is appointing the most outstanding legal experts to study whether MS Group's ownership of Tevez is applicable to the Bosman Act.
Players under the age of 28 can join other teams freely as long as they pay the remaining salary of the contract after three years of the contract. The key to the question now is whether the Bosman Act can be applied to MS Group, which is not a football club.
The media quoted words from all parties, making this incident more likely to get worse. When Li Yu saw these reports the next day, his first reaction was that these media were just looking for trouble, and they could handle no matter how big the issue was.
The news is quite big, and now Li Yu can only hope that it will not affect the next events.
The matter is far from over. Just when people thought it was over, a piece of news made Manchester United fans worried.
Agence France-Presse quoted Spanish "El Pais" news as saying that Cristiano Ronaldo, the World Footballer, Manchester United and Real Madrid have a three-party agreement. Ronaldo will transfer to Real Madrid after July 1st this year, but the condition is that Real Madrid
The bid reached 80 million euros, and it was paid in one lump sum.
El Pais, Spain's largest-selling comprehensive newspaper, reported that as long as Real Madrid pays a transfer fee of no less than 80 million euros, Manchester United will allow Ronaldo to leave the team after July 1st this year.
On the same day, Portugal's "Record" quoted Ronaldo's close friends as saying that the Portuguese may become a Real Madrid player next season, and Real Madrid is also willing to pay a transfer fee to Manchester United for this, but it is not a one-time payment as "El Pais" said
80 million euros, the actual price is only 30 million euros plus some other players including Pepe.
Yesterday, Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas said in an interview with the media that Ronaldo is worth 100 million euros, but he prefers that Real Madrid buy Spanish players.
Former Real Madrid chairman Florentino will announce his candidacy for chairman on Thursday local time. According to El Pais, Florentino has previously discussed the amount of the transfer fee with Ronaldo's agent Mendes.
.But the newspaper believes that Florentino's final choice may not be Ronaldo, but Kaká, because the latter is "relatively cheaper, which will allow Florentino to buy more players."
Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United ends in 2012, and there are constant rumors linking him with Real Madrid. When answering this question recently, Ronaldo said that he was very happy at Manchester United.
Kaká also claimed that he wanted to stay at Milan.
From 2000 to 2006, Florentino served as the chairman of Real Madrid and signed big-name stars such as Figo, Zidane and Beckham for Real Madrid. The three of them teamed up with Ronaldo, Raul, Casillas and Roberto
- Carlos formed the "Real Madrid Seven Stars". At that time, Real Madrid was also called the Galactic Battleship.
But this season, Real Madrid has been firmly suppressed by Barcelona in the domestic league, and winning the championship has become impossible; and in the Champions League, Real Madrid was eliminated early in the two rounds of the 1\8 finals.
Real Madrid will begin presidential elections in June this year. Although Florentino has not publicly announced his participation in the candidacy, polls show that he has the highest support among Real Madrid members.
