Manchester United's special plane landed at Manchester International Airport.
Soon, the stars got on the team bus that was already on standby at the airport and headed to the Carrington training base, 10 kilometers away.
The airport is in the southern suburbs of the city, and Carrington is in the western suburbs of the city. There is no need to pass through the bustling area along the way.
The whole bus was silent, and the players were either sleepy, closed their eyes, or put on headphones, did not hear him, or just stared dumbly out the window.
After midnight, there are already few vehicles on the highway. Occasionally, there are vehicles meeting, or after passing a section of street lights. The lights hit the car, and we can clearly see the desolation and frustration of Manchester United players.
They lost one to three on the road.
This is certainly not a satisfactory result, because it means that they have to work harder in the second round.
However, they will face Chelsea next, this is a top battle, not to be missed.
Is it really necessary to stop at the quarterfinals?
Manchester United, from Ferguson to players, no one will be convinced.
The Red Devils Manchester United, never lost time!
...
The bus traversed the trail in Carrington familiarly, and soon reached the training base.
With a rattle, the door opened.
Chief assistant coach Mike Ferran obviously still wants to get up from his seat as usual, loudly reminding players that the team disbands on the spot and they can go home.
But at this moment, Ferguson sitting next to him suddenly reached out and took Mike Ferran's arm.
The assistant coach sat back again, but Ferguson stood up.
In the compartment, all the players looked directly at Ferguson. In the dim light, he seemed to be older than usual.
He is already sixty-eight!
The passions on weekdays are often easy for people to ignore Ferguson ’s age, especially when he uses a nirvana hair dryer, everyone feels more, this somewhat annoying Scottish old man is more like a fifties, A middle-aged man with a strong age.
But at this moment, they suddenly realized that the old man was really old.
Sixty-eight, with a heart problem, God knows how long he can coach?
Since the team won the Champions League, the outside world has been rumored that Ferguson will retire, but if he retires, who will be in charge of Manchester United?
Manchester United, everyone up and down, I am afraid they can not adapt to a club without Ferguson.
He is like a legend, an immortal monument.
Even many times, he does n’t need to do anything at all, he does n’t need to say anything, he just needs to stand there, standing in front of the coach on the sidelines, everyone will feel an unprecedented spiritual strength, willing to work hard for him .
At this moment, he stood up, standing in the middle of the carriage aisle, looking at the long bus, looking at the players in rows.
Everyone was looking at him as well, waiting for him to speak.
But he didn't say a word for a long time.
Strangely, there was no embarrassment in the carriage at all. As if at this time, although he didn't speak, everyone could understand Ferguson's meaning of silence and get confidence and encouragement from him.
Whether it is thirty seconds, one minute, or two minutes, no one cares.
Until Ferguson broke the silence himself.
He used a kind of lightness, as if the cloud was light and windy, but it made people feel very weighty, and said slowly, "Do n’t worry, guys, just two goals, we are in Lao Te next Wednesday Promote at Laford Stadium! "
Suddenly, everyone believed!
Everyone in the whole car was just convinced by him in this way!

Real Madrid reversed Manchester United 3-1, causing uproar in football around the world.
Everyone knows that Real Madrid is strong, and all know that gaming companies have high hopes for Real Madrid, but in fact, almost all professionals are not optimistic about Real Madrid, because this is a team that has just undergone reorganization.
Breaking up the reorganization and breaking the spell of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals just now, it is very difficult for such a team to get results in a short period of time.
But Real Madrid did it, reversing Manchester United 3-1 at home, allowing everyone to see the strength and potential of this team.
The reputation of the King of the Benitez Cup is once again recognized, and Yang Yang, who has two shots and one pass, was elected as the best player in the game and once again became the first person in the world to compete in the world.
Also affirmed are Ibrahimovic, Robben and Sneijder. Real Madrid ’s attacking frontcourt showed incredible strength, and everyone is looking forward to Kaka ’s return, hoping to restart The offensive phalanx early in the season.
...
In a good situation, Real Madrid ushered in Atletico Madrid at home.
Because of the UEFA Champions League weekend, Benitez has properly rotated the team's lineup, and the intensity is not small.
Las Diarra replaced Mascherano, Maxwell, Granero, Raul and Higuain were all qualified, but Yang Yang, Xavi Alonso, Ramos and Ferma The main players like Lun are still there.
The Bed Linen Team attaches great importance to this game, and the head coach Flores said that this will be the most important game for Atletico Madrid so far this season. The team has prepared for this for a long time.
One side is exhausted for a long time, the other side is waiting for work, the start is obvious, Atletico Madrid seized the opportunity.
Surprisingly, when the game reached the tenth minute, Las Diarra's midfield dribble was interrupted. After Atlético Madrid passed the match continuously, the former Real Madrid player Reyes quickly inserted the left back Maxwell Behind him, an arc shot at the edge of the penalty area directly penetrated Casillas' goal.
Subsequently, Real Madrid launched a continuous offensive, but never failed to break the goal of Atletico Madrid.
The running and forcing capabilities of the Bed Linen Legion made Real Madrid very passive on the scene.
Until the forty-ninth minute of the second half, Yang Yang made a cross from the left and made a corner. Granero made a corner kick. Fermalen headed the ferry and Xavi Alonso volleyed the goal.
Just five minutes later, Xavi Alonso's straight pass tore Atletico Madrid's defense. Yang Yang succeeded in the offside. After the chest stopped the ball, he dribble the ball into the penalty area. An agile pendulum passed by After the goalkeeper De Gea, the empty goal was successful.
Then Yang Yang made two consecutive shots, one long shot missed, once de Geya flew under him, failed to break the goal of Atletico Madrid twice.
In the 63rd minute, Yang Yang took the ball on the left to attract defensive attention and scored the ball to the left rib Granero. The latter was sent to the penalty area. Iguazia went to the city for Real Madrid.
Three to one!
Real Madrid reversed again!
However, after consecutive goals, Real Madrid's offensive came to rest, Atletico Madrid instead used a corner kick in the 68th minute to create Xavi Alonso's foul while defending in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty. , Fran calmly took a penalty.
Afterwards, the two sides attacked and defended each other, but neither Atletico Madrid nor Real Madrid failed to break the other team's goal again, and the score of 3 to 2 has been maintained until the end of the game.
In the end, Real Madrid reversed the bed linen corps three to two in the Madrid derby.
Two consecutive games were reversed, and after losing a ball first, chasing three goals in a row, Real Madrid ’s performance in the last two games was once again worrying, and it also exposed some problems, such as the lack of bench thickness of the offensive player Soft underbelly.
The reason for the poor performance in the first half of this game, in addition to the tenacity of Atletico Madrid and the exhaustion of Real Madrid for a long time, another important reason is that Robben and Ibrahimovic did not debut No player in Real Madrid's frontcourt can replace the role of these two players.
Except for Yang Yang and Robben, no third person in Real Madrid has the ability to attack on the sidelines. After Robben's absence, Yang Yang's left side immediately became the focus of the opponent's strict defense.
Especially after Atlético Madrid scored a counter-attack goal, Maxwell's penetration on this side was also significantly reduced, causing Yang Yang to fall into a lonely hand in the frontcourt.
This is obviously also a problem.

Manchester United's game against Chelsea is at noon, Manchester United lost to Chelsea 1-2 at home.
But in this powerful dialogue, Ferguson has hidden many main stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Carrick, and even arranged four players over the age of 35 in the lineup.
After Gary Neville could not stop Yang Yang in the Champions League away in the middle of the week, he could not stop Malouda in the league this weekend. The first goal of the game was the goal assisted by Chelsea left by Malouda, which made Ferguson was very worried.
Gary Neville is thirty-five years old, and his competitive level is no longer as good as he was then. How much confidence can he hold in the face of Yang Yang next Wednesday?
And Berbatov, the Bulgarian center continues to be disappointing. In the strong dialogue, the dashing brother is always invisible and sluggish, which makes Ferguson feel very upset.
He is very optimistic about Berbatov's characteristics, but he really did not expect that the psychological quality of the Bulgarian center will be so bad that it is useless to beat repeatedly.
If Berbatov can have 80% of Drogba's dominance in the penalty area, Manchester United's striker combination can sweep Europa.
Ferguson was originally worried, and was very worried about the midweek game, even sleepless all night.
However, after seeing Real Madrid's home game against Atletico Madrid, Ferguson suddenly shined, flashing a smile, he saw Real Madrid's very terrible weakness, but also Benitez's weakness.
In addition to the well-known offense left behind the left back, Benitez ’s team is still so bad when defensive corner kicks, the regional mark defense is too complicated, from Liverpool to Real Madrid, Beni Tes has never been able to find an effective solution to make up for this weakness.
At that time, Chelsea used this to kill Liverpool with three goals at Anfield.
Now, it's Manchester United's turn!
