future king

Being able to catch up with Chelsea before the Christmas Devil's schedule, Manchester United has not played well recently, but Chelsea have lost too many points in the recent stage.

At the beginning of the season, the thriving and murderous Chelsea was finally tired, and injuries began to come!

Everyone knows what the upcoming Christmas war means!

The Premier League is the only one in Europe that entertains the public during Christmas!

Fatigue injuries are a big test for every team.

Especially for the rich teams in the Premier League, if they want to win the final Premier League title, the Christmas Devil's schedule is a watershed.

In the last round, Ferguson let Li Yu rest in order to preserve Li Yu's physical fitness as much as possible, so that the main players can use their strength in key games.

In the Champions League game, Ferguson put the long-lost Rooney in the starting lineup, but Li Yu was still excluded from the squad.

Ferguson's determination to gamble heavily on the Premier League for the Christmas game can be seen. The media also understood the old man's intentions and immediately reported the internal reasons for Li Yu's absence.

In the era of advanced information, if you want to play some tricks and tricks, you can always do it.

Ferguson's conspiracy is to keep Manchester United's biggest killer in the best physical and competitive state before December.

The Glasgow Rangers team was full of injuries in the British derby and their competitiveness declined.Ferguson also boldly rotated a pair of main central defenders, and let Van der Sar lead the rookies in defense.

They are still the main force in the midfield, the purpose is to help the comeback Rooney regain his confidence.

After returning from the "shelter" in the United States, Rooney may only have 50% combat effectiveness compared with last season.

The few bright spots were the header hitting the crossbar in the first half and the cooperation with Hernandez in the middle in the second half to create a good chance for Carrick.

After all, as the opponent's physical fitness declines, the defense line gets further and further back, and the possibility of making mistakes is greater.If he really waited for a penalty kick opportunity to let him handle it, Lu Xiaopang did not waste his painstaking efforts. He scored his 22nd goal in the European war, tying his predecessor Bobby Charlton and ranking fifth in the Manchester United record list. .It can also be witnessed from his running and screaming with relief after scoring a goal, how important this goal is to him after a series of "storms", it can be regarded as the first step towards recovery.

Manchester United's continuation of the record of zero goals conceded despite the rotation of central defenders is also worthy of recognition, but a mistake by Evans almost ruined the efforts of his teammates. In the future selection of central defenders in the team, I am afraid that he will be reduced to the youngster Smalling. .

Fabio, who helped the team win key penalties, has good offense and defense. Like his twin brother Rafael, he has made repeated achievements recently. His overall performance has obviously matured, making Manchester United's reserve of full-back candidates very rich.Their next goal is to help the Red Devils become the first team in the history of the Champions League to keep a clean sheet in all 6 group matches.

However, we also need to see that Manchester United only scored 6 goals in the Champions League this season, the least of all the early qualifying.Wayne Rooney has only scored two penalties at the club since the end of March this year, and there is still a long way to go before his heyday. They still need to work hard on offense if they want to continue their hard-won unbeaten record of 3 games in all competitions this season.

As long as this game is tied, Arsenal will set the best record of 11 consecutive Premier League teams qualifying in the Champions League group stage ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, the referee's obvious misjudgment and Wenger's risky use of troops caused the team to suffer a double blow.The next few weeks, which would have been the perfect time to welcome a baby, are looking a little more daunting now.

Drawing lessons from the 0:6 fiasco in the first round, the Braga team still did not take the initiative to attack at home, and adopted a destructive style of play to prevent the Gunners from advancing in the midfield.

There are only two Portuguese players in their starting lineup, and most of the others are from South America. Familiar with ground warfare and individual confrontation will not suffer a lot, which will bring a lot of trouble for the Gunners to enter the rhythm and organize the attack.It is no accident that the previous four consecutive expeditions to Portugal were invincible.

But the turning point of the game was the referee's misjudgment of the penalty kick. Bella was obviously tripped by the opponent's Peruvian defender Rodriguez, but got a yellow card and was sentenced to diving.

Judging from the position of the Hungarian referee at the time, such a mistake should not have occurred, not to mention the assistance of the bottom line referee!If you can take the lead through a penalty kick, maybe there will be no situation where you will be counterattacked by the opponent after 6 minutes.Coach Wenger took the risk of continuing to use the recent hamstring injury. As a result, he will miss three weeks because of the leg injury. He missed the key away game against Villa on the weekend. It is very likely that he will not be able to return in time for the away game against Manchester United in early December. sad.

In fact, Nasri has proved that he can play the role of midfield commander in the French team and Arsenal last season, and there is no need to overuse Xiaofa.In addition, Denilson's performance in the North London Derby last weekend was already very poor. As a defensive midfielder, his recovery speed is too slow, and he suffers from opponents who are good at counterattacks. He is also responsible for the last two goals lost in this game. .Choosing to let him start instead of the irreplaceable Alexander Song at this stage is probably also the professor's "failure".

Naturally, there was nothing good about the blocked attack in the midfield. There was only one shot on target in the game.

The "Confidence Emperor" Bendtner has scored twice as a substitute this season, and has been complaining about not being able to play games recently.In the past three weeks, he finally started for the first time, but the efficiency of frontcourt possession and activities in the penalty area is very low.

"Little Tiger" Walcott also couldn't get back the feeling he had when he staged a hat-trick at the beginning of the season and broke Newcastle in the League Cup not long ago.

The fluctuating performance of these second-tier stars, including Denilson, also affected the Gunners' performance. Now they must defeat the bottom Partizan at home in two weeks to ensure their qualification, and there is also the possibility of second place in the group.Originally, the opponents Villa and Fulham in the next two rounds of the Premier League are not a big threat. The League Cup wins the top 8 match against Wigan. The Gunners are expected to build a strong momentum before playing Manchester United early next month. Now they have lost two games In addition, Xiaofa and Eboue were folded, and the rebound became more difficult.

What about the Blues Chelsea?

The Slovak League champion Zilina is one of the three teams without a single point in this UEFA Champions League group stage. They have conceded 15 goals and only scored 1 goal in the first four games.

As long as Chelsea score one point, they will be sure to lock in the top spot. It is the most suitable time to train newcomers.The average age of the starting lineup is 24 years and 164 days, setting a new record for the team's youngest starter in the Champions League.In the end, they came back and won without any risk. This is the first time that the club has been able to score three points in the first 5 group matches in the Champions League.The last time a team achieved such a perfect start in the Champions League was Manchester United in the '07-08 season, when they finally won the championship trophy.

The most important purpose of the Blues in this battle is to get rid of the slump of losing three games in the last four rounds of the Premier League, and strive to train new players to re-condense their home deterrence.

Among the five rookies in the starting lineup, only relatively experienced Sturridge and 5-year-old McElan performed better.Sturridge is fast, moves fast, and is best at lateral dribbling in the frontcourt.If we can attack more deeply in the future like this battle and increase the threat in the penalty area, we can gradually become a surprise soldier on the side.

McElane is regarded as Chelsea's "Wilshere". Although he is a little thinner, he has a good overall view and delivery skills.

If Essien and Lampard are around, I believe his role will be more prominent.

The contrast between the team's performance in the first and second half also reflected the fact that there were many rookies in the first 45 minutes. The oppression given to the opponents in the frontcourt was not enough. Drogba and the two teenagers behind him could not spark.In the second half, after Kalou Jr. came into battle, the offense became more active immediately. When Anelka reappeared, the opponent gradually became overwhelmed.

The Blues had a 16-game unbeaten record in the Champions League at home before the round of 21 last season. At the beginning of this season, both the Premier League and the Champions League played at Stamford Bridge with a spirit of "who can give me up". The away team is easy to make mistakes under pressure. .Including the away game against Birmingham in the league last weekend, the Blues had a total of 60 shots in two games. Although they only scored two goals + four pillars and crossbars, we can see that the team's momentum is gradually returning. It only needs a little more luck and one or two shots. The comeback of a key star will be able to "break out of the cocoon".

If you had seen United's starting XI against Rangers before the game, you would have thought that Ferguson was playing with his old man Walter Smith on purpose.

The last time the two teams met, Ferguson replaced 1 starters. Although Manchester United played all the elite in the midfield today, they directly placed 10 substitutes on the back line: O'Shea, Smalling , Evans and Fabio. A draw can make Sir Alex's team successfully advance, and Manchester United will win with their lives?At least not from the intensity of the competition.If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the teenager Fabio throughout the game, it would be reasonable for the Red Devils to shake hands with their opponents in the away game.

As a guest in Glasgow, the three main defensive players Vidic, Ferdinand and Rafal simply stayed in Manchester, and the only main left-back Evra sat on the bench. Don't worry.However, the performance of the teenager Fabio today gave Ferguson a reassurance. With such a performance, why worry about the aging Evra who has no successor?After seeing Fabio's performance, any recent buying plans of the Red Devils at the left-back position seem superfluous.

After the game, "Sky Sports" gave Fabio the highest score of 8 points. This score is the same as that of Wayne Rooney who scored a penalty. Afterwards are still rare.

After the start of the game, one of the Brazilian twin stars of the Red Devils entered the state early. In the 7th minute, he made a breakthrough from the left and sent a very comfortable cross. Berbatov rushed in front of the goal and shook his head. Home team goalkeeper McGregor easily confiscated.In the 41st minute, Fabio broke through again from the left and passed the ball. The ball drew a strange trajectory and found Rooney who was waiting in the penalty area impartially. Champions on the crossbar!This offensive instigated by Fabio can be said to be Manchester United's closest chance to score in the first half.

After the easy side battle, Fabio let his opponent get a yellow card twice.

In the 83rd minute, when the Brazilian teenager made a breakthrough in the middle, he was pulled to the ground by the home team's midfielder Hutton. The referee Busacca decisively showed a yellow card and gave him a warning.

Four minutes later, Manchester United found a good opportunity. This time, the Brazilian teenager appeared in the penalty area at the right time. He received a clever pass from Carrick and made a breakthrough in the penalty area. At this time, the whole game played well The home team's midfielder, the former Toffee player Naismith, directly swept the leg and hit Fabio in the face!yellow card!penalty!

Although Naismith's foul didn't seem to be malicious, and he didn't see Fabio behind him when he retreated, the visual impact of this foul was enough to catch up with De Jong in the World Cup final against Ahmedabad. Long Suo kicked in the chest, you know, today's kick was in the face!

With Rooney's penalty kick, the 20-year-old Fabio also successfully completed the curtain call of the game.

Made 1 penalty kick, 2 yellow cards for opponents, and many threatening crosses. The Brazilian teenager, who doesn't play many games on weekdays, performed no worse than his twin brother today.The pain caused by a physical injury to Fabio is certainly not as exciting as directly helping the team win.This season, the young man only got 5 chances to play for Manchester United, 4 of which were starts. Manchester United won 4 wins and 1 tie. Obviously, with this blessing, Manchester United's winning rate is reassuring.

In terms of ability, Fabio may still have a certain distance from Evra, but in comparison with his own brother, Fabio has advantages that Rafal does not have.

In terms of passing ability, although the left-back of Manchester United also passed a lot of good goals today, Rafal's arc pass level is definitely not something that Fabio can develop overnight; but when it comes to breakthrough ability, as an older brother Fabio is definitely better and has a tendency to catch up with Evra.

The former Brazilian national youth team captain is relying on his unremitting efforts to gain Ferguson's approval step by step.You must know that the two brothers were only discovered by Ferguson in a youth championship held in Hong Kong by chance five years ago.Ferguson's unintentional trip allowed him to harvest a pair of strong men comparable to the Neville brothers, which can be described as a value-for-money deal.

Of course, when you make money in business, there are times when you don’t make money or even lose money.The performance of Evans who played today is in stark contrast to Fabio.Manchester United had one absolute danger in the first and second half of today, both of which were "made by Evans". If it weren't for the rough work of the Soviet Super League shooters and Van der Sar's brave performance, today's Manchester United can retreat completely. is a question.

In the 44th minute of the first half, Naismith made a pass in front of the penalty area. Rangers striker Miller cleverly cut into the right side of the penalty area. A 1-on-1 shot from a small angle was blocked by Van der Sar with his legs.

Naismith's pass found the space behind Evans. The Northern Irishman turned around a beat slower than his opponent. When Miller shot, Evans didn't even have time to reach the scene and stretch his legs to block it. .

The dangerous situation did not end there. In the 58th minute of the second half, Evans was not decisive in making a clearance on the penalty area line. While waiting for Van der Sar to attack, Naismith shot around. This time it was Van der Sar. Sa Ligong blocked the ball with both hands.The 1 chances that Evans gave to the opponent in the whole game were far better than the shooting chances his teammates worked hard to create today. If it weren't for the Dutchman's high catch and low block, Evans' low-level mistakes made Ferguson's ball It is very possible for the team to change from 2 points to 3 points.

Ferguson was willing to let go of the current World Cup champion and the world's number one defender Pique in the eyes of Maldini. It is precisely because of the existence of Evans that he has confidence in the future.However, time flies, the Northern Ireland teenager born in 88 did not bring Ferguson the expected surprise, but kept declining.At the beginning of the season, from the games against Fulham to Everton and then to Bolton, the Manchester United penalty area guarded by Evans was almost defenseless against high balls. Any random kick from the side of the opponent made Ferguson on the bench terrified.

For the purpose of protecting the players, Ferguson took Evans from the position of the main central defender, but the Northern Irishman himself did not live up to his confidence and his confidence did not recover. Such a rare opportunity to play ended in a near failure. People are speechless.In terms of staffing, the once popular man in the eyes of the old man has been ranked behind Vidic, Ferdinand, Smalling and even Brown, and is gradually becoming the last choice of Old Trafford.

In any case, with Rooney's final goal, Manchester United defeated Rangers 1-0 in the away game, thus advancing to the top 1 of the Champions League one round ahead of schedule.After the game, in an interview with ITV, Sir Alex Ferguson praised Rooney for his great courage.After Fabio earned a penalty for Manchester United, Rooney took the ball without hesitation and made a steady kick.

"It was a high-quality penalty. It showed Rooney's courage to come forward and take it. It wasn't the easiest night for him. He missed a lot of chances. He still hasn't reached the goal. At his best, he needs to play. Everything we do is to have him on the pitch for 90 minutes. We deserved to win and we want to keep going now until we win the group. We also have to fight Valencia ( Dec. 12) at home, we might make a change or two in the starting XI depending on the other games. But we're looking forward to that game and hopefully we can get the results we want. "

And Rooney, who scored a penalty kick, said, "There's nothing to be nervous about. I know what I'm doing and I know which side I'm going to shoot. If the goalkeeper guesses the right direction and saves it, that's it. .Thank god that didn't happen.No doubt the goal was a relief for me.Hopefully I'm reborn from now on.I want to celebrate with our fans,it's always good to beat Rangers away .Hopefully I keep scoring goals from here on out, I'm really happy to be back."

Meanwhile, Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has admitted he never really wanted to join City.Last month, in Rooney's contract renewal soap opera, Manchester United's chubby name was frequently associated with Manchester City.But in the end, Rooney successfully renewed his contract with Manchester United for 5 years.And Sir Alex Ferguson also said with relief that Rooney finally understood "what a great club Manchester United is."

Wayne Rooney stated on Manchester United's official website that he never thought about joining Manchester United's rivals Manchester City. "Everyone says I'm definitely going to Manchester City but believe me, if I leave Manchester United, I'm not going to any other club in England. I spoke to the manager and David Gill and obviously they put me off. Doubts. It took maybe two or three hours of negotiation, and I signed the contract extension."

"Was that the biggest mistake I've ever made? Yes, of course it was. I've seen a lot of players leave Manchester United and not do very well, so I'm glad I stayed. I will definitely give my allegiance. for Manchester United and want to help them be successful for a long time to come."

"I feel like I've apologized to the fans, but everyone says I haven't. If that's the case, I apologize to the Manchester United fans for the mess I caused. People are saying how much I'm playing right now. Bad, but I don't think I'm getting enough game time, you know, it's not good for my form."

"Without a doubt, the most important thing for me is to play well. I hope to keep scoring goals and I'm happy to finally be playing again. I'm mentally strong, I'm confident and I think I can get back To where I was last season. I know I'm not at 100% yet and the week of training in the US really helped me a lot. I'm happy because that's over and I want to put those things behind me Look ahead."
