v5 Chapter 255： Fight Manchester United

At the same time Manchester City eliminated PSV and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the other sixteen finalists also ended.

The finalized teams were Roma, Bayern Munich, Milan, Manchester United, Liverpool, Valencia, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Among the eliminated teams, the most notable ones are Barcelona and Inter Milan.

Barcelona ’s opponent is Liverpool. The two teams are the winners of the two-time UEFA Champions League. The match between them is also the focus of the UEFA Champions League.

The life-and-death battle between the two teams is also a duel between the two core players on both sides. Gerrard and Ronaldinho are one of the most concerned players in European football.

In the end Gerrard's Liverpool eliminated Ronaldinho's Barcelona.

When the referee van der blew the final whistle, Ronaldinho's dismal scene seemed to be a revision of the German World Cup when Brazil was out.

Ronaldinho's recovery in the second half was unable to save Barcelona from the lack of skills, and Gerrard's wonderful game made him get a higher evaluation than Ronaldinho after the game.

From the scene alone, Ronaldinho was completely submerged in Liverpool's defense in the first half, while Gerrard, who was placed on the right, repeatedly sent shells to his teammates, and Ronaldinho was like an elf in the second half. 'S skill is Barcelona's biggest threat, and Gerrard acts as the main attacker of Liverpool's counterattack.

At the beginning of the opening stage, Gerrard and Kuyt's two consecutive cooperation made Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes early busy. Since then, Liverpool, the main defender, has concentrated on the defensive counterattack, but also harvested a wave of offensive.

Among them, Liverpool midfielders are crucial to the interception of Barcelona players. Often, Gerald, Sissoko and other players fight decisively to pass the ball and organize the attack after winning the ball in the midfield.

Liverpool's tackle success rate in the whole game was as high as 90%, enough to counter the repeated setbacks of Barcelona's offensive players.

Among them, captain Gerrard contributed 4 successful tackles. And Ronaldinho is zero.

Ronaldinho is well-known for the unique skills of Brazilian players. But when it comes to defensive abilities. This will make people dare not compliment. Gerald, who is capable of attacking and defending, has demonstrated his comprehensiveness in this game.

Gerrard was only willing to play when the team had the advantage. Gerald stepped up as the main attacker when Barcelona counterattacked in the second half. This is the team leader.

Long before the game, the Red Army captain warned his teammates that "the revolution has not yet succeeded."

Because of Barcelona with Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Messi, it is not impossible to make a comeback. While the Brazilian is active in the second half, Gerald, who was not willing to be weak, contributed 4 dribbling attacks.

The first time there was a slight misalignment, the second was destroyed by Marcos, and the other two forced Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes to make a wonderful save.

Other than that. The Red Army captain has 16 more great passes, one of which almost made Bellamy's close-range lore, but unfortunately the Welshman was out of position but was not stable. At the last minute of the game, Gerrard was still making every effort. In the free kick, Sky Sports pointed out that Gerald was still inspiring other Liverpool players at the end of the game, and the "Daily Mail" praised Gerald's "tires" throughout the game.

After comparing the technical statistics after the game, Gerald is on par with Ronaldinho both in shooting and passing.

However, in terms of defense and range of activities, Gerald, who is active in the offensive midfielder on the right, defensive midfielder on the right, and three positions in the front midfielder, can win the recognition of the outside world.

After the Sky Sports game, Gerrard scored the highest score of 9 points in the audience, accompanied by a 5 and 6 points. This number is even more eye-catching.

Senior Liverpool expert Tomkins once said, "The 27-year-old Gerrard can also improve himself by accumulating experience, especially when he understands the tactics of the game from the head coach."

Liverpool captains have often performed amazingly in cup finals in the past few seasons. Such as the FA Cup with West Ham and the Champions League with a Milan.

With such a trump card, Liverpool fans have begun to look forward to the ultimate honor of this season.

The British media also claimed that after crossing Barcelona, ​​Liverpool began to dream of Greece.

In addition to the lively battle between Liverpool and Barcelona, ​​the match between Inter Milan and Valencia is also very noticeable. The biggest focus of the match between the two is not the game, but the post-match.

After the match between Valencia and Inter Milan, Inter Milan has been determined to be eliminated. What happened next was dazzling-Inter Milan and Valencia players fought in a group fight!

After a 2-2 away draw with Inter Milan in the first round, the Valencia team tied the opponent again at 0: 0 with a solid defense at home. And by virtue of many goals scored away and promoted.

Originally the game ended like this, but because of the contradictions on the field. Valencia player Marchena clashed with Inter Milan's Buldiso. Marchena kicked him in the face.

Marchena's actions became the trigger for large-scale conflicts.

Valencia's substitute Navarro rushed into the court, pushing Buldiso to the ground. Several Inter Milan players tried to chase Navarro, but Navarro quickly ran out of the court.

The two sides have further friction in the player channel.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo entered the Valencia team's locker room. His teammates Figo and Cambiasso were also involved in the scuffle.

It was not until the stadium security stepped in that it prevented the escalation of the situation.

This incident became the biggest news after the 16th round. Almost all European media are reporting. UEFA also specifically stated that it will impose a "global" penalty on the "player", which means Valencia and international Several players in Milan may therefore not be able to participate in the rest of the season.

While paying attention to this 'court violence', the most exciting thing for the English media is the performance of various teams in England. There are four English teams participating in the UEFA Champions League this season, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. All four teams have entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

The English media said happily, "This shows that the Premier League has surpassed other leagues and become the world's largest league!"

However, whether the Premier League is the largest league or not has no direct relationship with the clubs. After the second round of the 16th round, the focus of each team was on the draw of the Champions League quarterfinals.

According to the rules of the draw of the Champions League quarter-finals, the game has not avoided the same team. It also does not circumvent the teams that met in the group stage, the home and away will also be determined by the lottery. This means that four teams in England are likely to have a civil war, and each team is likely to meet seven other teams.

Of the eight teams, the opponent Manchester City wants to meet is naturally the 'weak team', but in fact, no dark horses have appeared this season, even if Rome has not turned in the European War, this season is quite equivalent. Strong. So Wansheng didn't think much about drawing lots.

"Whether we meet any opponent, we will try our best to win!" This is what Wan Sheng said to the media before the draw.

But after the draw, Wan Sheng still smiled bitterly.

a Milan.

This is definitely an opponent that other teams do not want to meet. Although a Milan has not recovered from the 'Phone Gate' scandal last season, they are still quite strong in Europe.

This can be seen from the odds of various bookmakers.

Up to now, the top four odds offered by various bookmakers are Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and a Milan. In contrast, Liverpool and Bayern Munich belong to the second echelon, and Rome and Valencia are completely Not optimistic, their odds of winning the championship still remain more than 30 times.

The bookmaker ’s odds do not tell everything. But the public opinion can also be seen.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and a Milan four teams are undoubtedly the most difficult team to deal with, Manchester City is also one of them. However, Wan Sheng would rather want to meet Chelsea and Manchester United who are more familiar with, rather than meet a Milan, the team has little experience in the European War, and has played twice with Bayern Munich. And Valencia is a 'weak team', the most difficult thing to count is a Milan.

But the draw result has been determined, Manchester City can only accept this opponent.

At the same time, the English media was very excited. Because of the battle between the quarter-finals, there was no so-called 'English Premier League Civil War'. Chelsea reached Valencia and Manchester United's opponent was Roma. Liverpool are playing Bayern Munich, Manchester City against a Milan, the four Premier League teams are all staggered, and play against other national teams.

This also means that the Premier League team is likely to meet in the final!

The English football team is even more delighted. After England fans have enough reasons to look forward to Liverpool in 2005, the four Premier League clubs will ensure that the English team will once again bring the championship trophy back to England.

After the UEFA Champions League, it was the FA Cup Round of 16, and Manchester City's opponent was Norwich.

Wan Sheng was very impressed with Norwich. In the first season of officially coaching Derbyshire, Norwich was the league's biggest competitor.

After a failed Premier League season, Norwich fell to the British Championship again. The results in the British Championship are very stable, and they also strive to play in the cup. Now they have met Manchester City.

Manchester City have been in very good shape recently. Although this game is an away game, it still performs well.

Manchester City beat Norwich in the final 3: 1.

The result of this game also made Wan Sheng a little surprised. It was not a score. In fact, Wan Sheng ’s mind was not in the FA Cup. The team also adopted a 'rotation' in this game, and several major generals did not play. What he considers is that the FA Cup game can be won if it can be won, even if it can't be won. After all, the team has more important leagues and the Champions League.

But in the end, Manchester City won the FA Cup quarter-finals.

At this stage, it is a pity not to take the initiative to fight for it, so Wan Sheng feels that he still has to fight for a meaningful event in the FA Cup.

March is about to pass, the battle for the league ’s top spot is still quite fierce. In the face of Manchester City ’s strength, Manchester United is a little bit unconvinced. In recent games, they have all but the Arsenal draw at the Emirates Victory, but nevertheless, as some media said, "Manchester City's results are a bit desperate", since Christmas, Manchester City have not even tied a game, and remain unbeaten in the league, so Manchester United and Manchester City opened The two points gap, coupled with the delay in the game between Manchester United and Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have reached a difference of as much as 9 points.

Because Manchester City and Arsenal have also been postponed, the match times between Manchester City and Manchester United are the same, so these 9 points are pure 9 points, and Manchester Lenovo has little hope of catching up with Manchester City.

Another Chelsea who hoped to compete for the league title before Christmas fell a bit after Christmas. The two consecutive draws and the defeat to Liverpool made the gap between them and Manchester City up to 14 points, even if they have always been big. Mourinho's mouth also has to admit, "Chelsea has no hope of participating in the championship this season."

So everything is still a chance for Manchester United.

Therefore, the English media began to analyze the league competition. The public's view is that whether there is suspense in the battle for the top of the Premier League, and the next Manchester Derby battle. If Manchester United can beat Manchester City and find a 3 point gap, then the two There are 6 points left between the teams. With 7 rounds left in the league, it can't be said that there is no chance, but Manchester United lost the game, it is really hopeless.

The gap of 12 points, 7 rounds of competition, there is only theoretical possibility to catch up.

In all kinds of public opinion, Manchester City ushered in the game with Newcastle United. In order to prepare for the more important Manchester Derby, Wansheng chose to rotate again.

Even so, Manchester City beat Newcastle United 4: 3 away.

Newcastle United lost the game, but after the game they were considered to be 'very good'. It is very important that they scored three goals. So far, there are no teams in the league in a game two. Newcastle United did it in the second break of Manchester City's goal, which shows Newcastle United's offensive ability.

Wan Sheng didn't care about it ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The team sent this game was originally a semi-backup lineup.

If the full main force comes on, the game will not be so difficult. Fortunately, in the end, the team won, without losing two points in vain, which is a good result.

After this victory, Manchester City's winning streak has reached 14 games.

A 14-game winning streak, a very good result, but it does n’t make sense to Wan Sheng, because the season ’s streak task requires a 15-game winning streak. In the task of the football training master system, 14-game winning streak and 10-game winning streak are nothing. The difference is to receive a 10-game winning streak.

So he attached great importance to the next game with Manchester United.

As long as you can win this game, the 15-game winning streak can be completed. At the same time, pulling down 12 points for Manchester United is enough to ensure the team's league title!
