MTL - The Day I Played with Ronaldo-Chapter 528 Mr. 300 million
In the 32nd round of the league, Manchester United made a large rotation, including players such as Ricardo sitting on the bench. Because the opponent is Bolton, Ferguson does not despise the opponent, but this opponent does need only the bench lineup to win.
Sure enough, Manchester United led away by 2 goals in the first half and scored 3 goals after entering the second half. They defeated their opponents 5: 0 and continued to maintain their lead in the league.
Chelsea swept Aston Villa 7: 1 and continued to maintain pressure on Manchester United.
The next round of the league is Red and Blue.
The result of this direct match will, to a certain extent, determine the question of the league title.
If Manchester United beats the opponent, it goes without saying that a lead of 10 points is enough to win the championship several rounds in advance.
If tied, Manchester United, who leads 7 points, can still laugh to the end.
For Chelsea, they are indispensable. Even if they win Manchester United away, there is still a 4 point gap with Manchester United, waiting for Manchester United to make mistakes in the last 5 rounds of the league.
In other words, if they tie or lose, they have no hope at all. Even if they win Manchester United, they retain only a glimmer of hope.
Chelsea have been eliminated by Inter Milan in the Champions League and can only focus on the league; Manchester United still has to fight in the third line and have a physical stamina.
In just 8 days, Manchester United have two games against Bayern Munich and also against Chelsea. It is unrealistic to want to play all three games.
Ferguson's mind was also broken.
In the end he decided to take a little risk and give up his home game against Chelsea in order to compete fully in the Champions League.
Even if they lose to Chelsea, they still lead by 4 points. As long as they don't make mistakes later, the league championship can still be reached.
The old man wanted to replicate the glory of 99 years.
Compared with the match against Liverpool, Ferguson only made one adjustment, Rooney mentioned the forward position, and Scholes took the position of the forward.
Bayern Munich set up a 442 formation response, goalkeeper Bout, defenders Ram, Van Bitten, Demichelis, Bad Stuber, midfielders Altengtorp, Van Bommel, Pranich and Li Bailey, forwards Mueller and Olich.
Before the game, the media generally believed that Manchester United had a bigger win. This Manchester United is actually stronger and more balanced than the 99 Triple Crown era.
At the Allianz Arena on March 30, Manchester United played with a positive attitude and played very smoothly.
The opening time was only more than 50 seconds. Nani took the ball on the right and was broken by Demichelis. Manchester United won the free kick. Ricardo took the penalty. He accurately delivered the ball to the front. Rooney took a hard shot and broke the ball.
Premature goals conceded Bayern Munich for a while, but after 20 minutes of kicking, they gradually stabilized and began to counterattack.
However, Manchester United was committed to controlling the midfield. Ricardo's retreat made up the disadvantage of Manchester United's midfield. Manchester United was mainly anti-offensive. The ball control rate reached 61% at one time. The scene completely suppressed Bayern Munich.
In the 37th minute, Ricardo sent a ground pass after a breakthrough on the left. Rooney stopped the ball and pushed the far corner. Bout sealed the ball. The follower Nani shot hard and hit the post, wasting the score. The best chance.
After entering the second half, Bayern Munich's offensive rose, Manchester United began to recover, Scholes retreated to the midfield, Rooney retreated to the front waist, and Ricardo topped the front line and became a counter knife.
In the 66th minute, Carrick sent a top long pass, and Ricardo used the speed to get rid of the chase.
Even at this time, Bayern Munich did not collapse.
In the 77th minute, Muller made a good pass on the heel after receiving the ball in the penalty area. Olich pushed the ball with his left foot, which caused Van der Sar to pick up the ball from the goal.
In the injury stoppage time, Bayern Munich got a free kick, Ribery shot directly from the free kick, magically helped Bayern Munich equalize the score.
With a score of 2: 2, Ferguson is quite satisfied. He said at the post-match press conference: "This is a good result, we have two away goals. Of course, we could have won this game and we have a better chance. But Bayern Munich It was very tenacious. "
"After returning home, I am confident of a victory. Ricardo is very good. As long as he can stay healthy, he can always bring victory to the team. Some people say that we paid him 140 million sky-high transfer fees to buy him. It's crazy, but now those voices have disappeared, and everyone can see his contribution to the team. In my opinion, it's really good to buy him at this price. He is worth at least 300 million. "
Bayern Munich coach Van Gaal also agrees with Ferguson: "I have met many talented players during my long coaching career, but Ricardo is different. Last season he was already in Real Madrid. The best football player in the world, my team ca n’t freeze him. In today ’s game, he continued to cause us trouble, and it was useless to deal with any of his tactics. Only two or three defensive players could be used to mark him. He. Such a player is indeed worth 300 million. Frankly speaking, if the senior management of Bayern Munich can give me 300 million transfer funds, I will definitely use it to buy Ricardo. "
After this press conference, "Mr. 300 million" replaced "Mr. 140 million" and became a new nickname for Li Cador for some time.
In the afternoon of April 3, Manchester United faced the Blues Chelsea at home.
Chelsea, without the pressure of the Champions League, sent the strongest lineup, and Ferguson rotated most of the players in order to stay in the second round of the Champions League.
Without Ricardo, the core player, Manchester United played very hard at Old Trafford. Chelsea gradually took the initiative from around 10 minutes and continued to launch offensive.
Manchester United lacks the belief that they must win. Before the game, everyone knew that even if they lost, they still lost 3 points. The team can still lead by 4 points ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ This is not the end of the world. So in the face of the aggressive Chelsea in the game, these players of Manchester United do not want to head up, but to avoid the edge.
This has also led to bitter results. In the 32nd minute, Lampard and Malouda hit the wall to cooperate, Lampard shot from the edge of the penalty area and broke the vandersa ten fingers.
After entering the second half, Ferguson wanted to put Ricardo and other players on the court for a draw. However, in the 55th minute of the game, Ashley Cole made a cross from the bottom, Drogba followed the header and attacked the goal, rewriting the score to 2: 0.
Come on, they don't need to play Ricardo.
Ferguson calmly accepted the defeat, accepting the result of this season's double kill by Chelsea.
"A two-game loss doesn't mean anything, as long as we can finally win the championship." Ferguson said in a post-match press conference, "Of course, our main focus now is on Bayern Munich. We want to make sure to enter the 4 Strong. "
For Manchester United, entering the quarter-finals is equivalent to entering the finals, because their opponents in the quarter-finals will be the winners between Lyon and Bordeaux. Neither team currently has the threat to Manchester United.
