Chapter 499 The most critical month
"GOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!! Giggs! Giggs! He scored for Manchester United! 1:1! Manchester United equalized away!" John Mortensen yelled, "After Manchester United's tackle from midfield, A quick counter-attack, Yin Jun, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Yin Jun, Giggs, Manchester United's talented stars combined to deliver a wonderful goal."

“比赛进行到81分钟，曼联1:1埃因霍温，两回合总比分则是3:2！”

After scoring the goal, Giggs looked very excited. He turned around and pointed excitedly at Yin Jun who passed the ball to him. Yin Jun opened his arms, laughed and hugged Giggs who ran over.

The other Manchester United players also ran over excitedly and gathered together to celebrate.

This game is too difficult. If this goal finally advances to the semi-finals, it will be the best reward for everyone's efforts.

The players of Manchester United were celebrating wildly, while the players of Eindhoven were depressed, even a little depressed.

Conceding the ball at this time point is really hurting morale.

"Coach Hiddink was too conservative at home," Lineker said.

………………

1: 1!

This is also the final score of the game.

After conceding the ball, Hiddink "woke up from a dream" and hurriedly replaced Cocu with Beasley to strengthen the offense.

For Manchester United, Ferguson immediately replaced Cristiano Ronaldo with Phil Neville to strengthen the midfield defense.

In the end, Eindhoven's helpless counterattack at the last moment did not achieve results. When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score did not change again. Manchester United drew with Eindhoven 1:1 away. As a result, in the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals, they eliminated their opponents with a total score of 3:2 and broke into the semi-finals.

This is Manchester United's four consecutive years since the 2001-2002 season, at least broke into the Champions League semi-finals, is currently the only team in Europe to achieve this achievement!
If you go back further, Manchester United has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for 9 consecutive years, which is also an achievement unmatched by any other team!

………………

At the same time, in Turin, Italy, another Premier League team, Liverpool, also drew 0:0 with Juventus, the Serie A class leader, at the Alpine Stadium and broke into the Champions League semi-finals.

As a result, including the blue team Chelsea, who were the first to advance a day ago, three Premier League teams appeared in the top four of this season's Champions League!

The Premier League just reached the top of the UEFA standings not long ago, and now the top three have gathered in the top four. This undoubtedly shows that the Premier League is entering a heyday.

Domestic fans are even more talented. Some people linked the situation of the top three in the Premier League and the Serie A giants AC Milan competing for the Champions League with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", calling it the Three Kingdoms vs. Lu Bu, and positioning Liverpool, which has the best record in history, as The eldest brother Liu Bei, followed by Manchester United is positioned as the second brother Guan Yu, and the newly rising Chelsea is positioned as the third brother Zhang Fei.

However, the domestic Manchester United fans are not happy. Why is our family Manchester United the second brother instead of the eldest brother?Whether it is based on the time when the team was established or the status in football, we are the undisputed number one, right?

Liverpool fans: we are the first in history!And according to historical records, Guan Yu was older than Liu Bei!
Manchester United fans: It is true that Liu Bei is the best of the three brothers who can beat Liu Bei, so let the eldest brother be given to you!

Liverpool fans: MMP...

Chelsea fans: Zhang Fei is the best player among the three brothers, and also the richest!
Manchester United and Liverpool fans: MMP!

………………

At the press conference after the game, Ferguson was not humble, he boasted about his players.

"Eindhoven is a respectable team, they are strong and tough, the Philips Stadium is a horrible stadium, it is very difficult to get out of here. So I have to praise all the players, they did a great job , I am proud and proud of the fighting spirit and hard work shown by the players, and the competitive state they have shown."

Listening to Ferguson boasting about his players, some reporters felt bored, while others nodded in approval with excited expressions. The former was from the Dutch media, while the latter was not only from the British media, but also from the Chinese media. They were also happy.

Only a few people can understand why Ferguson did what he did.

Ferguson has praised his players before, but he has never been so explicit, or even exaggerated.

"Since the speech a few days ago, the Jazz have been preparing for the team's next devil's schedule." Queiroz quickly understood Ferguson's intentions, "He has been playing to encourage the players come on."

Yes, Manchester United are about to face a horrific Devil's schedule.

Anyone who follows the Manchester United schedule will know that Manchester United will have at least 9 games in the next month.

After Manchester United broke into the Champions League semi-finals, from April 4 to the Premier League finale on May 17, Manchester United will play 5 Premier League games, 15 FA Cup semi-final and 6 games in less than a month. A Champions League semi-final!

On April 4, the FA Cup semi-final, Manchester United's opponent is the traditional Premier League team Newcastle;

On April 4th, in the 20th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will be a guest at Goodison Park to challenge Everton, who is currently ranked fourth in the league!

On April 4, in the 23th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face Newcastle again at Old Trafford!

On April 4, in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Manchester United will be a guest in Italy to challenge the Rossoneri.

On May 5, in the 1th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will be a guest to challenge Charlton, who has performed well this season.

On May 5th, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Manchester United will face AC Milan at Old Trafford to compete for tickets to the final.

On May 5, in the 7th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face relegation team West Brom at Old Trafford.Everyone knows that at the end of the season, the most difficult thing to deal with is the relegation team. In order to survive and stay in the Premier League, they dare to follow them desperately!

On May 5th, the 10rd round of the Premier League make-up match, this is the battle between Manchester United and Chelsea, and it may also be the final battle of the Premier League champions!
On May 5th, the 15th round of the Premier League, the final battle of the Premier League, Manchester United will play away against Saints Southampton!
The whole process is a double match a week!
And every game is very critical. Once Manchester United makes a mistake, it means that they may miss a championship!

In the face of the devil's schedule and the pressure, some coaches will choose to keep a low profile in order to decompress the players, but Ferguson is not like this.

As the overlord of the Premier League, as the European overlord who has won the Champions League for two consecutive years, the pressure on the players' hearts cannot be easily relieved.

Moreover, with Ferguson's character, he will not take the initiative to show weakness.

Of course, the most important thing is that with Manchester United's current status and demonstrated strength, it is impossible for opponents to lower their vigilance because of Ferguson's initiative to show weakness.

Manchester United, only tough fight to the end!
