Judging from Ferguson's usual style, this is a slap in the face of Li Yu's challenge to authority.
In any case, players under Sir Alex Ferguson are not allowed to openly question the head coach's decisions on the pitch.
The media found the two parties immediately. Ferguson himself did not pay attention to the media's deliberate hype and just used normal rotation to deal with all the media.
This is normal. A series of tough battles in the next stage will give the team's absolute main force sufficient time to adjust their state and physical fitness. There is nothing to make a fuss about.
Although Li Yu had some opinions on this decision, he could not show it at all in front of the media. He just wanted to play more games, and Ferguson was also thinking about the club's record. There was no essential conflict between the two.
Anyway, it’s all about the team’s record!
"What I have to do now is to have a good rest and prepare for the competition I should participate in!"
Looking at the historical confrontation between the two teams, Manchester United has only lost 1 game in the past 14 games between the two sides. This is also Manchester United's only defeat at the Reebok Stadium in the Premier League. There have been 21 historical encounters between the two teams in the Premier League, and Manchester United has the upper hand with 14 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses.
Among them, there are 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in away games. There have been 116 historical encounters between the two sides, and Manchester United has the upper hand with 50 wins, 24 draws and 42 losses.
Rooney had a recurrence of his knee and Ferdinand was out due to injury. Evans and Owen started the game, while Scholes and Giggs started in rotation.
Judging from the lineup, Manchester United seems to have left some suspense in the game.
But in fact, Bolton is no match for this rotating Manchester United team. The first goal conceded was an own goal by a Bolton player.
In the league, when facing teams like Manchester United and Bolton Wanderers, they always seem to lack confidence. It seems that when they see Manchester United players dressed in red, they have to take three or four points first.
Manchester United's domineering power in winning three consecutive championships was clearly evident in the game, controlling the rhythm of the game throughout the game.
Give Bolton a big score of 4:0 at the Reebok Stadium.
Manchester United will face Chelsea at home at Old Trafford. For both sides, this is a game that cannot be missed.
But for Manchester United, they can completely afford a draw in this game, while for Chelsea, there is only one way to win this game.
This is because there are still 6 rounds left in the Premier League this season. After 32 rounds, Manchester United is 3 points ahead of Chelsea.
Once the two sides draw at Old Trafford next Saturday, Manchester United will still be 3 points ahead of Chelsea after 33 games.
In the last five rounds of the league, Manchester United has challenged Blackburn away, Manchester City away, Tottenham at home, Sunderland away and Stoke City at home.
Chelsea's next five league rounds are against Bolton at home, Tottenham away, Stoke City at home, Liverpool away, and Wigan Athletic at home. Compared to Manchester United, who only have an away challenge against Manchester City, Chelsea is more difficult.
Big, because the Blues will challenge Tottenham and Liverpool away from home, and it will be extremely difficult to win them all.
Therefore, in next Saturday's showdown, Chelsea will try their best to win, while Manchester United will aim to ensure that they cannot lose.
As long as they don't lose, the initiative is still in Manchester United's hands.
Of course, physical fitness is definitely at a disadvantage for Manchester United. On Tuesday night, Manchester United will challenge Bayern away from home in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, while Chelsea can recharge their batteries at home. Top scorer Drogba even got a goal this round.
The opportunity to rest in order to go all out for the decisive battle with Manchester United.
Generally speaking, for the competition for the initiative to win the championship, Manchester United can score 1 point against Chelsea; and Chelsea will lose if they do not win away; and for Wenger and his Arsenal, of course they most want to see the two teams
A draw, there is no result more favorable to the Gunners than a draw.
Of course, if Chelsea can defeat Manchester United in an away game, they will take back the title initiative from Manchester United. However, due to schedule reasons, the Red Devils still have a chance, but they must wait for Chelsea to make mistakes in the last five rounds; and if Manchester United defeats Chelsea at home,
The Red Devils will be 6 points ahead of Chelsea (even if they win by one goal, the total goal difference between the two sides is the same), they will be at least 4 points ahead of Arsenal (prerequisite is that Arsenal wins at home against Wolves), and there are still five rounds left in the league.
Under the circumstances, a 6-point advantage is almost insurmountable.
Therefore, in this sense, in the decisive battle at Old Trafford, if Manchester United wins, they have great hope of achieving a fourth consecutive championship; if there is a draw, Manchester United will still occupy the leading position after the league and still hold the initiative in the championship.
Manchester United is on the fast track to the championship, and there is a magic called championship aura.
Counting this 4-0, Manchester United has only lost 1 game in the last 14 games and scored 39 goals in total; in the last 11 league rounds, Manchester United has won 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
His record is that he scored 30 goals and only conceded 6 goals. His attack power is terrifying and his defense is airtight. The only game he lost was at Goodison Park after defeating Milan in an away game due to lack of physical strength.
Without Cristiano Ronaldo, Tevez, or even Li Yu, Rooney, Ferdinand, Carrick and Park Ji-sung, who has been in excellent form recently, Manchester United can still beat Bolton Wanderers 4-0 away from home. The Red Devils have now entered
They have been on the fast track to the championship that they were familiar with in the past, and the championship aura they displayed is even more shocking.
Sir Alex Ferguson said before the game, "Do we have to win home games (Manchester United have 14 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss at home this season, tied for first place with Chelsea) in order to win the championship? I very much agree with this statement, but the other two teams will also
Think so.
Chelsea beat Portsmouth 5-0 with a lot of goal difference and I have a feeling this (goal difference) could be decisive and it's counting down now. I will look at the Bolton game as a
It's a cup final, that's what everyone should be thinking now. Winning the league is not easy, that's why I say our experience is an extremely important factor in winning the title."
Ferguson talked a lot about his winning experience before the game, which obviously put pressure on Arsenal.
You know, among these three teams, Arsenal is of course the one with the least championship experience, and the Gunners' current championship situation is also the least optimistic.
After this round, the wily Ferguson still insisted that the league championship is still a three-horse race. According to his experience, the Premier League championship this season will last until the last round in May. In recent years, the Premier League has gone from
Never before has there been such a stalemate between the three teams in the standings with the last six rounds of the league remaining like this year.
Manchester United's rich experience and the aura of champions who stand in its way has intimidated many opponents and made them timid before fighting. This aura is exactly what Chelsea and Arsenal lack.
Manchester United defeated Bolton 4-0 in an away game and ushered in the Champions League quarter-finals with a victory. Facing their opponent Bayern Munich in the Champions League, what kind of lineup Manchester United will respond to is probably what people are most concerned about at the moment.
Manchester United easily won the away game with a mixed lineup of main substitutes, but their opponent Bayern Munich did not go so smoothly.
In this weekend's Bundesliga, Bayern lost to Stuttgart at home. Coach Louis van Gaal hid two absolute main players Robben and Franck Ribery, but with a 1-goal lead, Bayern won before the end of the first half.
The score was evened.
In the second half, although Robben and Franck Ribery both came off the bench, they still could not prevent Bayern from being reversed. It is worth mentioning that this is Bayern's second consecutive defeat. In front of Manchester United, Bayern's lineup has no strength in terms of strength.
There is no comparison in terms of height or thickness. Fortunately, they will have the home field advantage in the first round.
However, media such as "The Guardian" and "Daily Mail" said that Robben strained his calf muscle in the 86th minute of the game and is very likely to miss the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Manchester United.
.
As for Manchester United, they achieved a big victory using less than their entire main lineup, which undoubtedly increased the team's confidence.
Now it seems that Rooney, Ferdinand and Park Ji-sung, who have been hidden in this league, and Carrick, who only played less than 20 minutes in order to exercise his body, will almost certainly occupy the four starting spots.
Looking ahead to the Champions League three days later, there will be no doubts about Manchester United's goalkeeper and defense personnel, and it is almost certain that Wayne Rooney and Li Yu will serve as forwards.
The only variable may be in the midfield. In Manchester United's 4-5-1 formation, the double defensive midfielders will be Fletcher and Carrick, but if the Red Devils need experience, then Carrick's position may also be replaced by Scott.
However, the probability of another veteran playing may not be that high, that is Ryan Giggs. Nani, who has performed well recently, is likely to serve as the left midfielder.
Li Yu will serve as the shadow forward, using his ability to run in two penalty areas to provide support for Rooney. Of course, no one will ignore the terrifying offensive power of Manchester United's No. 9.
Manchester United must score in Munich. This is Ferguson's final instruction before tomorrow morning's battle. Manchester United will visit the Allianz Arena in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
"Getting away goals gives you a big advantage," Ferguson said at the pre-match press conference. "We will try our best to do this. In 1983, when I came here with Aberdeen
, the draw was 0-0, everyone was happy, except me. I sensed the crisis. Although we were able to escape unscathed, in the second round, Bayern scored two goals at our home court.
So it’s very important to score in tomorrow’s game.”
In recent seasons, Manchester United's performance on the road has been very stable. It has been three years since the team last lost on the road, and they remained unbeaten in 16 games.
"Our record is very good," Ferguson said. "It proves the maturity of the team and that they know how to compete in the European arena."
"During these 16 unbeaten games, we have also encountered very severe challenges. A few years ago, our performance on the road was far different from that at home, which became our weakness, but now, we have
Overcome this problem."
Ferguson was quite confident before the game. He believed that Manchester United had advantages in all aspects and would be able to win in both rounds. "I respect Bayern and admire this team very much. They have a long history and have achieved brilliance."
We need to go all out in tomorrow's game."
"I have not watched all Bayern's games this season, but in the past two days, I have watched a lot of their game videos. They have played poorly in one or two games recently, but they are obviously not a bad team.
team."
"In the first round of the game, playing at home is an incentive for them. We must be cautious and never think that this is an easy game to deal with at any time. Such a thing will never happen.
occur."
This is the eighth time the two sides have met in the European War in 12 years. Bayern previously had the upper hand with 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. Manchester United's only victory was the miraculous reversal in the 1999 Champions League final, but Manchester United has never won in the away game with 2 draws and 1 loss.
Bayern. Robben, who has been in good form recently, was unable to enter the match list due to injury. Manchester United's two main players Rooney and Ferdinand both returned from injury, Li Yu returned to the lineup, and Park Ji-sung and Carrick entered the starting lineup in rotation.
After coming to Germany, except for the active head coach Ferguson, other players at the Manchester United club, including Li Yu, deliberately avoided the media.
Before the game, they received a notice from the club and were strictly prohibited from accepting interviews with any media.
Manchester United, which arrived just one day in advance, only had time to adapt to the venue. This is relatively common in the Champions League. After the day's game, Manchester United will rush back to Manchester overnight to prepare for the Tianwangshan battle with Chelsea.
Rooney has been suffering from a knee injury recently, and he stayed in the hotel room with Li Yu. When he was bored, he watched some interesting programs on the hotel's premium channels.
It was also the first time for Li Yu to see such a talk show. This was an Italian show, so sit back and relax!
Some well-known people were invited to answer various questions raised by the host under the constant dancing of beautiful women.
The beauty was still taking off her clothes one by one, and the guests were still answering questions in an extremely embarrassing situation.
"If I were to participate, I would definitely perform better than him!" Rooney pointed at the TV and commented.
"The scale of this show is also too big. Our country cannot accept such a scale at all. Whoever gets on will be in trouble!" Li Yu also expressed his own views on this. It's a pity that he has no chance to participate in this show!
"You still don't know that Mourinho has participated in this show. While the beautiful woman danced, the old boy answered various questions with a blank face. Do you think that old boy is a pervert?" Rooney watched it.
In many episodes of the program, Li Yu is still talking about interesting past classics.
"I'm sure we don't know if we're perverted or not, but we have to pretend to be sexy!" Li Yule said casually, but it made Rooney very funny.
"I didn't realize it, but you're pretty good at pretending! Haha, what if..." Before Rooney could finish his words, there was a violent slamming of the door outside the room.
Who is it? So arrogant!
Li Yu looked through the peephole and was shocked. The person knocking on the door so fiercely was none other than Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Just after returning to the hotel from the pre-match press conference, I was notified that someone was watching pay TV in the room where the Manchester United players lived.
The old man was furious when he heard this. How could he still bother to read these things?
When he learned that the room where he was watching was the room of Manchester United's two main strikers, the old man rushed to the door without saying a word and started banging on the door.
It was definitely a precursor to using the hair dryer. Ferguson's movement had already alerted the players in other rooms. They opened the door and wanted to complain a few times. Who was fooling around here? When they saw it was Ferguson, they all swallowed his words alive.
Hurry and close the door, the old man is going crazy!
Li Yu didn't think anything. When he saw it was Ferguson, he quickly opened the door.
Ferguson heard the door open, opened it and went in. Rooney was still watching TV leisurely!
An old man with a red face rushed in, "Oh my god, no!" Rooney quickly wanted to turn off the TV, picked up the remote control and started pressing it, but he was a little too panicked, which turned out to be a bad thing.
I don’t know which button I pressed, but a loud scream came from the TV screen. In line with the old man’s footsteps, he would occasionally shout, “Eonbaby!”
Rooney was even more panicked now. His hands were shaking and he finally turned off the TV!
As soon as Li Yu heard this voice, he knew something was wrong. Rooney was on his lap, but his brain was not working properly. He was just watching an entertainment program. Is there any need to be so nervous? It wasn't a big deal at first, but now it's fine.
, no one can explain clearly, he went straight to the rhythm of seeking death, I have never seen such self-mutilation, and the problem Li Yu will definitely be unlucky soon.
Ferguson rushed to Rooney's side, picked up the remote control, pressed the switch, and heard the screams of a man and a woman having sex on the TV, and checked again.
"Ci'ao!" The remote control in Ferguson's hand had already flown out. Fortunately, Li Yu hid in time, otherwise it would have been a tragedy.
The old man was really angry. Rooney stood up immediately.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
"We were just watching an entertainment program. When you came in, I got nervous and pressed the wrong button!" Rooney lowered his head and told the truth, but now even he feels helpless. Who would believe it!
"Li, you said that too?"
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have shared a room with him!" Li Yu said it from the bottom of his heart. It didn't matter much at first, but after what Rooney did, no one believed him anymore.
"Very good, Ci'ao. I'm still in the mood to watch these before the game. Do you want to know how I feel now? Do you want something more exciting?" Ferguson roared one after another. If there are any objects in his hand, it must be the fate of the remote control.
.
Rooney and Li Yu stood on both sides of the case, waiting for the final verdict.
The old man vented for a while, "Look up, tomorrow's game..."
