Chapter 106 Looking forward to the Champions League final
,
spn During Manchester United's draw with Arsenal and the crowning champions, Tevez was replaced in the second half. He waved to the audience in the stands, seemingly saying goodbye, and the moment he sat in the stands, Tevez was captured on camera
Tears appeared in eyes.
After the game, Tevez admitted that he was a little emotional, "It was an emotional moment. I like Manchester United and I like the fans here, but maybe this is farewell and it is difficult." When told that Tevez might shed tears, Ferguson
But it was interpreted from another perspective: "If this is the case, this is a good thing, it means that he wants to stay, and we also hope that he will stay."
That being said, Manchester United is cautious about signing Tevez permanently. CEO Gill said that Manchester United will wait until June to make a statement. "The situation will be clear in early June."
Ferguson more clearly stated the reason for Manchester United's hesitation, that is, the transfer fee of 28 million pounds, which the Red Devils think is a bit too high. Ferguson said: "The original asking price was a bit unrealistic, just like other clubs.
, we must also consider the impact of the economic crisis, now is not the time to spend money carelessly."
Manchester United's hesitation has actually made Tevez unhappy. In an interview with Argentina's ty TV station, Tevez expressed more thoughts. "I know that I will not stay at Manchester United. I feel that they lack respect for me.
I feel that I have been treated unfairly. I have been at the club for two years and the senior management has never spoken to me, so it is best for me to leave Manchester United and not conflict with Ferguson and the senior management. In addition, I cannot understand that I am not the main player.
"[
"I have asked Joorabchian not to talk to me about transfers in the next 10 days. I want to focus on the final game, and then I have a month to decide and choose where to go in the future."
The current relationship between Manchester United and Tevez's owner Joorabchian has also become tense. When negotiating a loan two years ago, the two parties agreed to complete a permanent transfer at the beginning of this year, but Manchester United did not fulfill their promise. They informed Joorabchian:
He said that due to the economic crisis and changes in the general environment, the price originally negotiated was no longer appropriate, which made Horabchian very angry.
Manchester United said it was still negotiating with Joorabchian, but the latter claimed that the Red Devils were misleading fans and that the two sides had no contact at all. Manchester United did this just because they did not want to offend fans who wanted Tevez to stay. In fact, recently,
There have been many small-scale protests outside Old Trafford by fans protesting against the club's failure to retain Tevez, and the club has also been under considerable pressure.
"Although the players have changed over the past ten years, people feel that the spirit and temperament of the Manchester United team have not changed." Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson said that it was Ferguson who inherited Sir Busby's tradition and brought it to
Manchester United’s iron-blooded spirit, and this kind of spirit ensures that the Red Devils continue to make progress. After making history several times, they still hope to continue to break through themselves. Where will the next breakthrough be?
On May 27th, in the decisive battle with Barcelona in Rome, if Manchester United can win the championship, Manchester United will become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since its reform. The last time a team defended this championship was in the old Champions League era. Milan was in
They won the title twice in 1989 and 1990. If they can do it, Manchester United will not only be a dynasty in England, but also a team of kings that truly dominates the entire Europe and even the world.
Ferguson and his players are well aware of the value of defending the Champions League. "We won it again at home, which was a fantastic achievement and all the fans were great. I always wanted to do the best and we won the league and now
We are ready to win the Champions League. In the next two or three days, we have to focus on the Champions League, everyone wants to win it," Ronaldo said.
"Champion, another championship. It has only been a year since I came to Manchester United. I have already won a lot of honors, but no honor can excite me more than standing on top of Europe. I am eager to hold the big ears after the game.
Cup, for which I am willing to give everything I have!" Li Yu also expressed his desire for the Champions League for a while.
Regardless of the outcome of the Champions League, Ferguson and his Manchester United will continue to pursue their dreams, and this is the most respectable aspect of the Red Devils in addition to their achievements.
Many football professionals also stood up immediately to express their views on the Rome final.
Among them is Ferguson's former rival Mourinho. As a former rival, Mourinho publicly supported Manchester United.
If Manchester United defeats Barcelona, it will become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after its restructuring, and will also win its fifth championship this season after the Community Shield, Club World Cup, League Cup, and Premier League.
Mourinho said: "Ferguson is a super coach. A victory or defeat at this time in his coaching career will not affect his status. He has already had an extraordinary coaching career."
"But of course, if he wins the Champions League final, that will make him the greatest club manager."
"Ferguson built a super team, won three consecutive Premier League titles and reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive years. This is a truly top-notch achievement."
"Manchester United has strength and experience. Ferdinand, Vidic, Ronaldo and Rooney are all outstanding. Li Yu's performance this season has made the whole world envious of their offensive line. They have everything a team has: strength, willpower,
Speed, magic and solutions.”
"Manchester United's defeat of Arsenal in the semi-finals did not surprise me. This is normal, but three consecutive Premier League titles and two Champions League finals, you need to use words to describe how strong they are."
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo also expressed his gratitude to Ferguson, saying: "Manchester United is my home, my heart is here, this is the team I want to play for."
"The manager believes in the team, and so do I. Ever since I joined Manchester United, Ferguson has been like a second father to me."
"Ferguson played two roles, both of which helped me become who I am today. Firstly, he was probably the most talented manager in the world and I learned something from him every day. About me
No matter what progress I make, I know that Ferguson can always teach me something more. I know that any advice he gives me may make me better."
"Secondly, he is like a father to me. Since I joined Manchester United, he has been like a second father to me. I not only respect him, I have a feeling for him, like a child to his father. When he
Give me some advice outside of football and I will listen carefully because that will make me a better person."
Of course, some people have also raised the issue of tactical xng. Who will mark Messi? This is the first issue facing every team that plays against Barcelona.
Premier League teams don't seem to be scratching their heads about this problem. Bosingwa and Ashley Cole took turns playing in Chelsea's semi-finals, and they fulfilled their mission.
In the Rome final on May 27th, Messi will face his old rival in the European war: Red Devils left goalkeeper Evra.[
Evra played against Messi twice in last year's Champions League semi-finals, but the Argentine genius did not take advantage. In the end, Barcelona was still a duck after 180 minutes.
Despite his successful experience, Evra still dared not be careless. "I feel like I am standing on the top of a pyramid. I am not stupid. I know that even the slightest carelessness will make me fall down. There is no doubt that I will definitely face Messi when I meet him."
It was an extremely difficult night, and I was fully mentally prepared for it. I have full respect for him, and I also have the confidence to deal with him."
Evra knows that staying vigilant throughout the game is the key to successfully tracking Messi. "I am very confident now. People may think I am arrogant, but why should I brag? If I have to face him in the game
20 challenges, I know that as long as he is careless once, he
I may seize the opportunity to score goals, and people will then think that I am the loser in this contest. I will try my best to make this contest have a positive ending. Sir Alex Ferguson once said in front of the media, 'Messi?
Pat can handle it.' I hope I don't let him down."
In the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United defeated the Gunners 4-2 away from home. After the game, Evra proudly said that it was just a "contest between adults and children."
These words angered the Gunners youth team. A week later, the league challenged Manchester United. Fabregas, Robin van Persie and Nasri all received yellow cards for fouling Evra. After the game, Evra's remarks once again caused an uproar in the media, "It's very sad."
Obviously they don't want me to play in the Champions League final just because I've
Those words that were said, some flagrant fouls were called on me. I am quite disappointed with this. If you like to attack others, it is better to box instead of wasting time on football. I am also willing to fight with them off the court to the end.
But there will be no referee to give a red card to start the fight."
Evra's personal label is to be flamboyant and talk unscrupulously in front of the media. He has no intention of changing his habits. He even reminded the media that he has maintained the flamboyance of a winner from the first day he joined Manchester United. "I still have the flamboyance to be a winner."
I remember my first interview when I first joined Manchester United. I said at the time that I didn’t come here to get playing time in the Champions League. I came here to win the European Championship trophy for the team. Now that I have won a Champions League, I still want to
Winning the second one this year and then the third one is my goal."
The answer given by many people is Evra, but Ferguson himself dismissed such an answer. In the eyes of the Scottish old man, defense cannot solve the problem at all. The key lies in Manchester United's offense. Li Yu, Ronaldo, and Rooney are enough.
Let the defense of any European team suddenly
Collapse, no one can sworn to guarantee that there will be no loopholes in Manchester United's front line. This is what Ferguson values , "Winning the final championship for us must be our offensive power. I think Barcelona must be thinking about all kinds of things at this time."
A way to contain Manchester United’s attacking power!”
Guardiola's speaking style is obviously different from Ferguson. When facing the media, he always compliments his opponents and talks about his difficulties, "Manchester United is very strong, and there are many things we need to do, but Manchester United
The team also has the greatest head coach in Europe, and the final will be full of suspense. If Barcelona wants to win the championship, they must use all their energy to prepare for the final!"
The Champions League final has become the focus of fans around the world. Perhaps this game will be destined to become a history-making Champions League final. The most famous European survey agency has already conducted a ratings survey around the world before the game begins.
More than 1 billion people will watch the game in Europe and Asia alone.
And many people seem to have forgotten that the Premier League still has its final round of games.
