Inter Milan defeated Barcelona at home, with a score of 3:1, which was considered a minor upset.
Will there be an upset in Manchester United's home game against Lyon?
The answer is no. Manchester United refuses any upset. Although Manchester United encountered a lot of trouble in the game that day, they still defeated their opponents cleanly 1:0 at home.
There were not many goals, which reflected the intensity of the game.
Lyon's style of play is very practical, and at Old Trafford it is a tight-knit formation.[
Although Manchester United sent out the strongest attacking combination of Li Yu and Rooney, they only scored one goal in front of the French's iron formation.
The goal occurred at the 31st minute of the first half. Li Yu broke through continuously and then scored the ball. Nani immediately hit the center from the wing. After Rooney got the ball, his shot missed the target due to interference from his opponent. The football just hit Li Yu.
At his feet, Manchester United's No. 9 scored in one stroke and sent the football into the French goal. 1:0. The only goal in the game came from a melee in the penalty area.
Ferguson admitted after the game that this game could be regarded as a slight upset. Manchester United did not gain enough advantage at home, and the suspense of advancing to the final remained until the second round.
Lyon also expressed great confidence in the second round. We struggled to create a situation that was favorable to us in the away game. Now what we have to do is seize the opportunity at home and reach the finals historically. There is no
What's more important than this.
Anyway, Li Yu scored again!
It was the only goal in the game. He increased his number of goals in the Champions League to 11. There is at least one game left to play. There are two games left in total. He leads the Champions League scorer list.
Second place Messi scored three goals!
This season, Li Yu's explosion is comprehensive. Whether in the league or the Champions League, he has used his goals to ensure Manchester United's continued glory.
How could other clubs not see that a few days ago, Real Madrid even announced that it wanted 100 million to bring in Li Yu, but in fact, Manchester United had already labeled Li Yu as not for sale. The economic environment of Manchester United is not very good.
But everyone knows that even if you sell Li Yu for 100 million, you won't be able to buy players of corresponding strength. Many people suggest that Manchester United can sell Rooney, but Rooney now has a very important status as England's leading star.
Li Yu and Rooney, whoever Manchester United loses now is playing with fire. They have just calmed down some fans, which will definitely make them more noisy. The Glazer family will not be stupid enough to put themselves on the fire like this!
Three days after the first leg of the Champions League, Manchester United is about to return to the league. They will face Tottenham at home. If they win this game, the final league championship will almost be won. Ferguson said that he will not give up winning the cup at home at Old Trafford.
opportunity.
Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson has denied that he will retire at the end of next season, saying that this is purely a media report, while Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger also believes that Ferguson is unlikely to retire in the near future.
British media recently reported that Ferguson told Manchester United's senior management that he would retire at the end of next season and designated Moyes as his successor, but Ferguson said that this was just a rumor and that he currently has no plans in this regard.
"This is rubbish, absolutely not true," Ferguson said. "If I really had this intention, I would only tell David Gill (Manchester United CEO) and the Glazer family."
"The only factor that determines whether I stay or not is my health, and maybe unfortunately for you (referring to the media), I am in good health, so you have to continue to put up with me, and I will be here when you are gone.
"
Ferguson also said that the schedule in the next few weeks will be a severe test for him and Manchester United. "I think the next few weeks will definitely be detrimental to health, but now that you are here, you have to accept the pressure in life, and I
Can handle it.”
Solskjaer, the head coach of Manchester United's reserve team and Ferguson's former disciple, also said that Sir Alex Ferguson is still passionate about football and is unlikely to retire. Solskjaer said: "Ferguson is very passionate and he has more energy than any of us.
, he drives the club forward and his desire to win is incredible, which is why we hope to keep him in charge for a long time."
Regarding this old rival, Arsenal head coach Wenger believes that Ferguson will never retire early because he is still full of desire for victory. Wenger said: "You can see the way he coaches, he is still full of desire, as long as
When he is here, he is full of desire for success, and this is something that will not fade away.”
"When you get older you have to think about your health, but for me at the moment there's nothing wrong with him and it's always interesting to play against him."
When talking about his future, Wenger said: "My future will be determined by how good I can be, and whether I enjoy what I do, that's it. I still think I can do a lot more.
years, if I can stay healthy."[
However, the media soon refuted Ferguson's point of view. If Ferguson wins the league and the Champions League this season, plus the previous cup championship, Manchester United will once again continue the glorious triple crown. This is the year
The best time for Ferguson to retire in the past 70 years may be that he himself is not aware of this, but it is certain that this is definitely the best time.
The old Scottish man has allowed everyone to witness the glory of Manchester United in the Premier League for 20 years, but everyone also knows that no matter what it is, it will end one day, and this day may be coming soon!
On the eve of a crucial game, such rumors spread again. It is no wonder that Ferguson would deny it with all his strength. This is not difficult to understand, because it is not the time now and the game is the key.
On April 22, with only 50 days left before the World Cup in South Africa, the British media will inevitably talk about the Three Lions' lineup. The media broke the news that the former No. 1 goalkeeper favorite, 27-year-old Foster, is now at the Carrington training base.
It has been reduced to the point of training alone and silently.
The insider who broke the news was the famous Manchester United goalkeeper Gary Bailey. He told the Manchester City Evening News: "I went to Carrington before playing Chelsea and watched the goalkeeper training. Foster performed very well and his reaction to the save was outstanding.
"Color", I even applauded him once. But he was training alone, while Van der Sar and Kuszczak were guarding the gates in the five-a-side training game next to them."
This clearly illustrates Foster's embarrassing position as the third goalkeeper in the Red Devils. During Edwin van der Sar's injury, Foster made 10 consecutive appearances, but a series of mistakes caused him to lose his position immediately after the Dutch goalkeeper returned.
Since then, he has only guarded three goals, and has not appeared in public games since February 23.
Bailey said: "It's really sad to see that the former number one choice in England is now reduced to the number three goalkeeper at Old Trafford. He has no chance to go to South Africa or even participate in Manchester United training matches!"
Former England goalkeeper Hilton also suggested that Foster consider a transfer. "In the past, Foster was at least on par with Green, but he is no longer playing for the first team, which is obviously not good for him. In November last year, he played for Brazil in a friendly match.
England has kept goalkeepers and performed well, but his long-term inability to play has put a question mark on him. I think he may have to miss the World Cup this summer. If I were to choose Green now, I would choose Green, which may disappoint Forster. Although he may not
Would love to leave a team like Manchester United, who knows when Van der Sar will retire, but I think he may have to go."
In this case, being loaned out may be an option that can be considered. Currently, Birmingham, coached by Ferguson's disciple McLeish, is interested in Foster. This is a good choice: it is considered to have taken away Foster's position.
Hart showed his ability during the season he was loaned to St. Andrews Stadium from Manchester City; currently, it is difficult for McLeish to buy Hart, so he is also willing to consider the possibility of introducing Foster.
』.
Bailey believes: "Foster can learn from Hart. If Birmingham comes to him, I think it is a good choice to rent him out for training. Van der Sar signed for another year. Although he is 39 years old, he is still one of the top five goalkeepers in the world.
One, he should still be the main force next season. Under such circumstances, Foster will definitely not be happy. I have been on the bench in England for 8 years. Who said that I am in the same era as Hilton and Clemens! So
I think it would be better for Foster to go to Birmingham and play as the main player rather than stay at Manchester United as the third choice."
Foster has made many low-level mistakes in the past, but Bailey believes that which goalkeeper does not make mistakes? Gomez made many mistakes last season and was criticized as a parallel import, but Gomez went to Old Trafford with Tottenham on Sunday.
, has entered the best form since the Premier League! James, Hart, and Robinson have all gone through painful stages, and Foster can also come out of it.
At the same time, Newcastle has won the English Championship this season two rounds ahead of schedule after defeating Plymouth 2-0 in an away game. This Saturday, Newcastle will face Roy Keane's Ipps at home at St. James' Park.
Switch. The "Daily Mail" stated that as the captain of Newcastle, the 35-year-old veteran captain Nicky Butt will lift this season's British Championship trophy before kick-off, and after that, Butt will
Will announce his retirement in front of his old captain Roy Keane.
Nicky Butt has only played 16 league games for Newcastle this season. His contract with Newcastle will expire at the end of this season. Magpies coach Hughton admitted that Butt may choose to retire this weekend. "I don't think he has officially
He said he would retire, but I know this will be an important decision for him."
Nicky Butt is one of the representatives of Manchester United's 1992 golden generation and is a native of Manchester.
In the 1992-93 season, Bart made his debut in the Manchester United first team; but since then, Bart has not had a chance to play in the Manchester United team; in the 1994-95 season, Bart was Roy Keane's substitute; in 1995, Paul -
Ince moved to Inter Milan, and Sir Alex Ferguson used Bart Roy Keane to form a central midfield partner; with Scholes' position moving back, Bart's chances of starting dropped sharply, but he is still on the bench at any time.
Waiting for Sir Alex Ferguson's call-up. It is worth mentioning that due to the suspension of Scholes and Roy Keane, Butt performed well in the starting lineup when Manchester United reversed Bayern in the 1998-99 Champions League final at Camp Nou.
.
Bart played for Manchester United for 12 seasons, winning 14 championships, and played 387 games for Manchester United and scored 26 goals. Before moving to Newcastle, Bart won 6 Premier League titles and 3 Football League titles with Manchester United.
Total Cup champion and 1 Champions League champion, 1 Toyota Cup champion and 3 Charity Shield (English Super Cup) champions.
In January 2004, Butt rejected Birmingham's invitation and joined Newcastle coached by Sir Bobby Robson for a transfer fee of 2.5 million pounds. Sir Robson regarded him as Speed's successor. He played for Newcastle for 5 years.
In the first half of the season, Butt played 172 games for the Magpies in all competitions and scored 5 goals. Between 1997 and 2004, Butt played a total of 39 games for the England team.
It's not all bad news before the game. There are three happy events to celebrate at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The first one is that "Forbes" magazine announced on the 21st that Manchester United topped the list of "Clubs with the Most Brand Value" for the sixth consecutive year at a cost of 11.9 billion pounds. Although Ronaldo was sold last summer, it did not reduce the Red Devils' brand value.
, Real Madrid still only ranks second. The Premier League accounts for 7 places in the 20th place, Arsenal is 3rd, Liverpool is 6th, Chelsea is 9th, Tottenham is 12th, Manchester City is 19th, and Newcastle is 20th.
The second happy event is related to Solskjaer: Due to the unexpected defeat of the title rival Liverpool, the Manchester United reserve team led by the young coach won the Premier League Reserve League North Championship two rounds in advance. This is the first time that Manchester United's reserve team won the Premier League Reserve League North Championship in 2006 (that team
The team won this league title for the first time since the team had Pique, Rossi and Shawcross). Coach Ferguson was overjoyed when he heard the news, "Congratulations to Ole (Solskjaer)! When he was appointed, I talked to him
I have said that it is not easy to be a reserve team coach, because I may transfer personnel at any time, but he did a really good job!"
The third happy event falls on Li Yu. On Sunday, the Professional Players Union PF annual award will be announced. Li Yu is likely to win the "Annual Award" at the same time like Andy Gray in the 1976-77 season and Ronaldo in the 2006-07 season.
"Best Player" and "Young Player of the Year" trophies. Andy Gray believes that Li Yu has great hope, "With Luo gone, Li Yu has proven himself with the release of energy in one season. He has only joined the Premier League for three years."
Year, this is a great moment, and he is also the youngest player to win these two honors at the same time. He will only be 22 years old!
With three good things coming, how can we allow Tottenham to disrupt the situation? Former White Hart Lane player Carrick, who has not played since his mistake in the Champions League against Bayern, took the initiative to ask for help. "Tottenham has been near the top four this season.
The talents accumulated over the past two years are really of a high standard. But this season is really interesting. Last week you were supporting Tottenham (defeating Arsenal and Chelsea), and then you have to play against them again! Will you watch (weekly)
(Japan) Chelsea vs. Stoke? I can’t stand it. It’s too hard to watch a game that I can’t control.”[
Since Manchester United has the first game, as long as they win Tottenham, they can continue to consolidate their advantage in the standings. Tottenham is not easy to beat. They have recently defeated the London duo, clearing the way for the Red Devils to regain the top. But those two
All games were played at White Hart Lane, and this game was played at Old Trafford, which Tottenham had never conquered in the Premier League. What a coincidence, almost at the same time last season (April 25, 2009), Manchester United faced Tottenham at home.
Well, at that time the Red Devils were in a difficult situation of falling behind 0-2 in the first half and finally completed a 5-2 comeback.
In this campaign, although Manchester United also played a Champions League semi-final in midweek. Rooney, who has not completed 90 minutes in the last three games, is expected to continue to start. Ferdinand and Brown have also recovered from injuries. Tottenham Kranjca has confirmed that this will
The season is over, but Lennon, who has been away from the team for a long time, is expected to sit on the bench. The most popular player in their team is actually the "strong man" Bell on the left who scored consecutive goals against Arsenal and Chelsea. Pavlyuchenko said: "
As long as we are not afraid, we can beat Manchester United.
For Manchester United, the only dissatisfaction is with the referee. After Atkinson refereed the two rounds of the Manchester City derby, Marriner will also referee the two rounds of the Manchester City derby. The two teams last met at White Hart Lane.
Marriner sent off Scholes with a red card. Marriner also sent off Vidic in the loss to Liverpool in October.
The World Cup has not even started yet, but already there is a heated discussion.
Manchester United head coach Ferguson insists that the most dazzling player in the team in the World Cup is Manchester United No. 9, Li Yu!
After two years of fantastic performance, Li Yu responded to previous doubts with her outstanding performance.
"Li Yu will definitely go to the World Cup in South Africa. I am not surprised at all if he scores a goal!" Ferguson said, "His performance now is enough to prove this. No matter what game and under what circumstances, he is capable of playing world-class football."
Goal!"
In last week's derby with Manchester City, people were always talking about Scholes' final winner, but many people ignored who scored the two goals for Scholes' final winner.
Conditions, and in the Champions League semi-finals, he still maintained his excellent form.
This Saturday, Manchester United will face Tottenham in the league. If they want to win the final championship, this game must be won. Li Yu will definitely appear in the starting lineup.
Let us wait and see what wonderful performance Manchester United No. 9 will perform again!
This difficult season was also the season when Li Yu fully broke out. Today, he is almost at the pinnacle of world football. However, he is still a young man, and this peak will continue to be written!
