Chapter 311 Bringing the Last Card in English Football(1/3)

"It's like a piece of chewing gum that can't be cleaned off. It just wants to stick to us. Can't we just lose the game? Manchester United is a bunch of uncomfortable bastards."

After the game, Vardy inevitably muttered a few words after learning that Manchester United had also defeated their opponents.

This requires a new team. With Sheffield United so strong in front of them, they have already lost confidence and fallen behind.

Only Manchester United has been double-killed by Sheffield United this season, but it is still firmly behind Sheffield United in the league.

Is it possible that they thought that Sheffield United, like Manchester City last season, had a double kill and they could still hand over the championship?

However, this kind of muttering is just to vent their frustration. All the players in the Sheffield United team understand that if they want to win the championship, they can only rely on themselves in the end.

If Manchester United can follow, let him follow. There is a full nine-point gap. If Manchester United dares to follow, why should Sheffield United panic?

After the game, Speed ​​gave all the players on the team two days off.

In the next round of the FA Cup quarter-finals, Sheffield United will send a rotating lineup to play. The game will only start on March 10. There are still eight days left. It is no problem for the rotating players to take the holidays.

Of course, the best news is that the Sheffield United match in the 29th round of the Premier League has been postponed to April.

Therefore, the main players of Sheffield United will have ten days of rest after this league game. Then, they can recharge their batteries and defeat Galatasaray at home, which means that the third line will continue to be popular.

This schedule gave Sheffield United fans a rare compliment to the Football Association.

But for Manchester United fans, their hearts are completely unbalanced.

As one of the teams in the Premier League that is still in the Champions League this season, Manchester United's league match on March 2 was not postponed and they will face Real Madrid at home on the evening of March 5. This shitty schedule makes Manchester United completely exhausted.

Unacceptable.

If Ferguson hadn't commanded the bench to beat Norwich, it would have had a huge impact on Manchester United's preparations for the Champions League.

So even after a four-goal victory in the league, Manchester United fans were still very angry and criticized the FA online.

But after fighting, we still have to face the difficulties that we should face.

The consumption of rotating players put Manchester United at a disadvantage in terms of back-hand arrangements and substitutions, so Ferguson had to try to resolve the battle before the 70 minutes of the game.

For Manchester United, the only good news now is that the main players are well rested, and the second is that they have an away goal in hand.

If they can tie Real Madrid in this game and draw 0-0, then they can advance to the Champions League quarter-finals by relying on this away goal advantage.

It sounds quite simple, but Manchester United's current main lineup does not support them setting up a bus. If they force it, they may be beaten by Real Madrid.

Manchester United fans all know where the team's advantages lie. If they give up offense, Manchester United will lose the magic weapon to win. Of course, Ferguson also knows that the key now is how he arranges his offensive troops and back-ups.

Fans of other Premier League teams are also very interested in the Champions League battle between Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Everyone in the league really wants Manchester United to die, but in the Champions League, Premier League fans naturally prefer Premier League teams.

But even if Manchester United wins, fans don't want Manchester United to win simply.

It would be best to lose both sides in a fight with Real Madrid, and then lose a thousand miles in the league. Such an ending could not be better.

Li Mo understands the complicated hopes and feelings of fans. After all, he was also a member of the fan group back then.

And now he still hopes that Manchester United can go as far as they can in the Champions League, even if they win the championship in the end, they just need to lose a few more games in the league after spending a lot of energy.

On the night of March 5th, after the first day of training after the vacation, seven or eight relatively idle players in the Sheffield United team ran to Li Mo's small villa. Everyone gathered together to watch Manchester United and Real Madrid on time.

’s Champions League second round.

Before the game, Li Mo also took a photo of him and his teammates sitting on the sofa preparing to watch the game, and wrote a contrasting text to cheer for Manchester United.

As soon as this tweet was posted, many Chigua fans became interested and rushed to Li Mo's tweet to leave comments and question marks.

The fans of Manchester United were also surprised, but they were still very happy to be cheered by a superstar, even though Li Mo was the one who poked Manchester United the most enthusiastically every time.

But for tonight, Manchester United fans put aside their dissatisfaction and dislike of Li Mo, retweeted his tweets in large numbers, and left messages to express their gratitude.

Such a scene made the Sheffield United players overjoyed. Even if Manchester United won this Champions League game, they would be severely depleted. However, Manchester United fans thanked their direct competitors before the game. Li Mo was so lively.

So sexy.

After some laughter, the living room became quiet as the game started.

After all, this is the focus of the battle between Manchester United and Real Madrid. On the one hand, wanting to see Manchester United's losses, Sheffield United players are also very yearning for such a classic battle.

If we cross Galatasaray, Sheffield United should also encounter real European giants, but there are few giants that can compare with Real Madrid.

If they could choose their opponents, most players in the Sheffield United team would choose Barcelona or Bayern Munich.

After playing all over the Premier League, the entire Sheffield United team is eager for stronger opponents. Unlike the aging Manchester United and the rebuilt Chelsea, it can be said that the current Barcelona and Bayern Munich are at their respective peaks.

That is a lineup and combat strength that can truly match their background, and only such opponents can allow Sheffield United to further transform and grow.

After all, the first Champions League season is used to sharpen oneself and test the combat effectiveness of the current team. So instead of praying for big gift packages to go further, it is better to compete vigorously with powerful giants.

"Gan! It would be great if we were drawn against Real Madrid. I really want to compete with Mourinho's Real Madrid. If we can defeat this Real Madrid and break into the quarterfinals, that would be the real glory!"

Maguire hammered his palms, his eyes full of passion and desire for battle.

Even though the victory over Galatasaray in the first round made Sheffield United more famous in Europe, the reputation of supporting players really dissatisfied the young guys at Sheffield United.

In contrast, AC Milan's 2-0 home victory over Barcelona was truly shocking to the football world.

If you want to become famous in today's football world, there is nothing better than smashing the two teams of the Spanish Super League.

These two teams have accumulated a huge number of fans and popularity in just a few years. If they can beat them in the Champions League, it will be enough for at least a month!

The other Sheffield United players nodded in agreement with Maguire's desire. Only Li Mo remained calmly leaning on the sofa without any emotional fluctuations.

He knows how the Bundesliga duo overturned the Spanish Super League duo this year.

If Dortmund lacked stamina and was almost defeated by Real Madrid in the second round, then Bayern Munich was suppressing Barcelona throughout the game.

From the first round to the second round, seven goals were scored in the two rounds. In the first round, Barcelona players still had two unconfirmed handballs in the penalty area. This was really a fight on the ground.

So Li Mo really knows that Bayern Munich in the past two years is actually the real football devil, the football universe team!

It can be said that Chelsea was extremely favored by the goddess of luck last year, otherwise Bayern Munich would probably have completed the defending feat of the Champions League after the reform of Real Madrid one step ahead of Real Madrid.

So unlike his teammates who are eager to meet the two Western Premier League heroes, Li Mo hopes from the bottom of his heart to compete with Bayern this season!

Only such a team can be called a dominant and terrifying opponent. If he missed Bayern this year, Li Mo feels that he will regret it for a long time.

"Oh!!! Manchester United scored first, Robin van Persie is awesome! Ramos didn't react at all!"

Li Mo's reverie was interrupted by Vardy's exclamation next to him. He quickly looked at the TV screen. At this moment, the moment of the goal had passed, and the live footage could only see the scenes of Manchester United players celebrating wildly near the baseline.

.

When the replay came, Li Mo couldn't help but applaud Van Persie after watching the goal.

There was no problem with Real Madrid's defense position. The moment Van Persie advanced, Pepe followed suit. However, facing Nani's mid-air pass, Van Persie threw his entire body out and took a step inside the penalty area.

The position completed a special side-lying volley!

Ramos, who was guarding Rooney at the back post, never expected that Van Persie would dare to hit the goal like this, and did not even try to intercept the shot.

Casillas failed to save Van Persie's magical shot. Real Madrid, which was confident of winning, actually fell behind at Manchester United's home court!

Manchester United's home fans naturally celebrated passionately with the players.

Li Mo became interested. Looking at Ronaldo's sudden actions to encourage his teammates in the live broadcast, he felt that this game was interesting.

Sure enough, with Real Madrid's targeted offensive in the middle, Manchester United's life was once again blocked.

Mourinho's tactical vision is still sophisticated. He did not make a fuss about Manchester United's midfield defense in the first round. In the second round, Mourinho corrected his mistakes decisively, allowing Ronaldo and Di Maria to continuously cut in from the wing and directly attack.

Manchester United's two defensive midfield areas.

This trick worked repeatedly, and in the end Real Madrid evened the score in the 36th minute of the first half when Cristiano Ronaldo broke into the rib area and took a long shot.

This goal brought Manchester United and Real Madrid back to the same starting line, but now Real Madrid is obviously the more dominant side. As long as they score one goal, Manchester United must score two goals to win.

Such a cruel situation made Manchester United's players a little timid, but Real Madrid struck while the iron was hot, relying on Ronaldo's strong containment effect to score two goals in the second half, and finally won 3-1 at Manchester United's home court.

of complete victory.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was at his peak, scored twice to help Real Madrid successfully eliminate his old club. Although he did not celebrate the goal at Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo's high spirits after the game was undoubtedly revealed.

His performance in La Liga this season cannot be considered bad, but compared with Messi, he was indeed blown away.

Winning the Champions League has become his only possibility for a comeback, so Ronaldo still attaches great importance to winning in the Champions League.

The Sheffield United players also enjoyed watching this game. Manchester United's restraint after Real Madrid scored an away goal was a wake-up call for them.

Galatasaray, who came to play at their home court in the second round, may not really have any hope of making a comeback.

After all, as long as Galatasaray scores one goal, then for Sheffield United, their situation will be no different from Manchester United in this game.

Therefore, there is no need to attach too much importance to away goals. Forget about the score in the first round and beat Galatasaray one more time and that's it.

Calculating this and that, it is not as convenient as directly crushing the opponent. Is Galatasaray awesome? Without the home advantage, it is just a small Everton. Hit him with three goals and let him know the strength of the top of the Premier League.

Ouch!

The Sheffield United players were contentedly engaged in preparations, and Manchester United's elimination made the entire English football world howl.

After all, Chelsea and Manchester City, two unlucky players this season, failed in the group stage. Chelsea still has a chance to compete in the Europa League, while Manchester City lost their Europa League qualification to Ajax.

With only two teams left to compete in the Champions League, Manchester United and Sheffield United, the British media will naturally be more optimistic about Manchester United.

Although Sheffield United is strong, it is their first time playing in the Champions League and they are far less experienced than Manchester United.
