"The Times" was worried that Manchester United would encounter a strong team too early, but Ferguson's response was: "As long as we get a draw in the last round, we can guarantee the first place in the group. However, is it actually the first place in the group?
It doesn't matter, because Manchester United's goal is to win the championship and we are not afraid of any opponent."
However, different voices still emerged. Some media believe that Manchester United is taking advantage of the rules to systematically avoid strong opponents. In terms of the current chaotic form of each group, except for Chelsea and Arsenal, as predicted before the game
Generally speaking, if you stand at the top of the group, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Bayern, Juventus and other powers are still fighting for the last chance. The top of the group may not get the lottery in the top 16. Take a look.
In the standings, Manchester United loses, but can advance or retreat in the final round.
No matter what, rumors will spread because the next league game is about to begin!
It has been a long time since the Premier League has seen two giant teams locked together in the standings. The former Arsenal has become Chelsea this year. The only thing that remains unchanged is that Manchester United is still competing for the title.
among.
In the 14th round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Portsmouth away.
Before the game, the media had basically concluded that although Portsmouth was at home, facing Manchester United, which had hidden its main force in the last game, it was simply a game without suspense. It was completely reasonable for Manchester United to take away three points.
The media has focused all its attention on another big game in this round. Arsenal faces Chelsea at home. It is related to the battle for the top spot. Whether Chelsea can maintain its advantage in the standings. This battle.
Manchester United easily defeated Portsmouth with a score of 4:1 in the away game earlier and are waiting for the result of Chelsea's game later.
In this campaign, Li Yu's starting performance was remarkable, with one assist and one goal. He gradually matured in his new position. Li Yu, who has a wider range of activities, sometimes no longer appears on the front line of the offense.
, but Manchester United's offensive power is still terrifying. The only difference is that other players have begun to perform. Rooney scored 1 goal, and Nani also proved himself with goals. The remaining goal was the icing on the cake of veteran Giggs.
Got it!
Giggs will reach the age of 36, and there is no better birthday gift than a goal to commemorate a priceless goal. In an away game at Portsmouth, the Welsh flying general scored his personal Premier League goal with a wonderful arcing free kick.
The 100th goal in the league marked another brilliant chapter in his legendary Manchester United career.
In the 86th minute of the game, Evra broke through and caused a foul on Utaka. Giggs, Li Yu, and Rooney all stood in front of the ball. The focus of attention on the field was that Li Yu and Rooney took the free kick, but in the end it was
Giggs, the most amazing left foot in the history of the Premier League, drew an arc around the wall, and the track was close to the post. The home team's goalkeeper stretched out his arm and was still half a point away. Sky Sports selected this shot as the best moment: "
The iconic arcing free kick scored his 100th Premier League goal."
Since the creation of the Premier League, Giggs has celebrated scoring for the 100th time in the league. Of course, the Welshman has also scored five times in the English League. After Speed left Bolton last year, only Giggs is left in the Premier League.
He is a veteran of three dynasties in the English League One era. After 18 seasons and 534 Premier League games, he finally broke through the 100-goal mark. There are many people who have scored more than 100 goals in the Premier League. Current players include Giggs’ new comrade Owen, but
The only player who has scored more than 100 goals at Manchester United is the Red Devils number 11, a number that has never changed hands in this Premier League era.
This phenomenon is what Ferguson most hopes to see. Other positions in the team begin to be stimulated. Manchester United's Christmas devil schedule is more certain. Of course, the veteran's surprise is also what the coach hopes to see. What's next is waiting for him over there.
The result is the result!
At 7 o'clock in the evening in England, the London war finally started. This was also the last game of the 14th round of the Premier League. Arsenal, who had scored the most goals in the new season, was originally favored at home, but who would have thought that the final score would be Chelsea's away game.
Defeated the opponent with 3 goals.
In the last 5 minutes of the first half, Chelsea scored the first goal through Drogba, and then he forced Vermaelen to score an own goal. In the second half, Arsenal scored a goal from Arshavin but it was disallowed, and Drogba made a free goal.
The ball scored directly and scored twice. After this campaign, the difference between Arsenal and Chelsea widened to 11 points, and the ranking slipped to fourth. After losing to Chelsea, their 13-game winning streak at home was once again ended by Chelsea. And Chelsea this season
The number of goals scored equaled Arsenal's, and Chelsea continued to lead Manchester United by 2 points in the standings.
In the eyes of the ancient Greeks, diamonds were a drop of tears dropped by the gods on the mortal world; in medieval religious classics, the breastplate of the high priest Aaron and the cornerstone of the New Jerusalem gained divine power because they were inlaid with diamonds, which could bless people with good fortune.
Strength and courage. Science believes that diamond is a polished diamond, a carbon crystal with extremely high density. The English name of the diamond midfielder is diamond (mon). Teams that use diamond midfielders in modern football have
There are fewer and fewer of them, but Ancelotti’s Chelsea have maximized the beauty and tenacity of diamonds.
The diamond-shaped midfielder has a classic and romantic color. Each of the four midfielders has its own division of labor. The attacking midfielder stands at the top of the diamond and is responsible for the offense. The defensive midfielder protects the defense at the end. The left and right wings each perform their duties.
It is a formation with the beauty of symmetry. But Ancelotti has always been a tactical inventor. In Ancelotti's eyes, even a diamond-shaped midfielder does not need to be symmetrical, but an asymmetrical diamond can often exert greater power.
"Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" is Ancelotti's greatest skill. There are few pure wingers at Stamford Bridge, but there are a lot of strong players in the middle. After taking over, Ancelotti made full use of this imbalance in personnel reserves, not only reusing Lampard
, Essien and other former main players have also fully mobilized the enthusiasm of Deco, Ballack, Mikel and others. At least three of them can get a chance to play in every game, and the other midfielder spot is reserved for Malouda.
Joe Cole and other wide players. But this formation with only one wing, or simply destroying both wings, has greatly improved the Blues' midfield control.
Facing Arsenal away from home, Ancelotti put on a "unilateralist diamond" as usual, Joe Cole moved on the sideline, Lampard and Mikel went one behind the other, Essien was nominally the right midfielder, but he was nicknamed "
How could the Ghanaian midfielder of "Bison" feel comfortable positioning on the right? Essien ran in an astonishing range throughout the game, almost covering the entire Emirates Stadium. During the attack, the "Bison of Ghana" broke through sharply, and the back-and-forth sprint made the home team exhausted.
Essien did not tightly guard the right wing, but also expanded the defense area to the center to help Mikel control the midfield.
Under the outstanding performance of Essien and other midfielders, the arsenal, which had always been running smoothly, could no longer withstand it. Although the overall possession time was still slightly advantageous, there were too many cross passes and back passes, and there were few threats.
"Sexy" straight-line attack. On the other hand, Chelsea, except for Joe Cole, the major midfielders are all tough players whose muscles, strength and physical fitness are better than their skills. Naturally, they will not pursue any fancy tricks. Direct deep strikes are very effective.
After one round, the home team's defense was completely knocked to pieces.[
Mikel's appearance is a coup. Except for the Charity Shield match at the beginning of the season, Mikel has not had an appearance record against strong opponents this season. Since the seventh round match against Wigan on September 26
, Mikel was sidelined for a month and a half due to injury and did not return until the home game against Wolves on November 21. However, Ancelotti was confident in his employment and gave the Nigerian midfielder two games to adapt.
Mikel was used in this crucial game against Arsenal.
Ancelotti had his own reasons. The reason why he put Ballack and Deco on the bench was because compared to the first two, although the Nigerians were slightly inferior in experience and technology, they fought hard and were full of strength.
Being able to effectively use his physical advantage against technical midfielders such as Cesc Fabregas, coupled with the assistance of Essien, is equivalent to putting up another fence in front of the already impregnable back line to keep the enemy out of the country.
Making good use of talents is the symbol of a wise man. Ancelotti makes good use of the diamond midfield but does not stick to the rules. He can use different personnel according to different opponents. On the bench for this game are Deco, Ballack and Malu.
Da, but who can say that they will definitely be substitutes in the next game.
