future king

After the victory over Wigan, entering March, the last month before the closing period of the Premier League, the next two games are extremely critical for Manchester United. The next opponents are Chelsea and Liverpool!

The two opponents are not good, especially Chelsea, who have been in the title race with Manchester United before.

Liverpool at home has always been Manchester United's nemesis. Manchester United has not performed well at Anfield. The fans of the Red Army will also put great pressure on Manchester United.

Even Ferguson is eager to break the "curse" of Stamford Bridge.

Since 1999, Manchester United have visited the Blue Bridge 12 times in the league and only won once.

This was 10 years ago. At that time, Solskjaer, who scored goals, had already become a coach, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's clubs had all changed from La Liga to the Bundesliga.The strong defensive ability of the Blues made Ferguson helpless, but he was defeated 1-0 by his opponents four times.

Chelsea are no longer contenders for the Premier League title this season.

Ferguson, who has had a bloody fight with Ancelotti in the past few years, got worse: "At the beginning of the season, I really didn't expect that I would be so much ahead of Chelsea now. In the past few years, we have always been with Chelsea. The top of the list is chasing after. It is too difficult for Chelsea to win the championship. They have to surpass two teams-us and Arsenal. Of course it is not impossible. In 1998, Arsenal regained the 12-point gap and beat us. Winning the championship, we also caught up with Newcastle by 1996 points in 12 to win the Premier League trophy, Chelsea still have a role to play."

He is polite, but in fact Ferguson has said that the championship is the prey of Arsenal and Manchester United, and even Manchester City is not in the competition.

Unlike last season, the battle at Stamford Bridge became a watershed for the two teams to win the championship. This season, Ferguson as a guest at Stamford Bridge hopes to end the fate of Chelsea's invincible away game. "It is not easy to beat Chelsea, especially at their home court. Mo They had a remarkable home unbeaten run when Rinho was in charge, not so much since Jose left, but it's still going to be hard to beat them at Stamford Bridge."

The real pressure to win the championship comes from the young Arsenal. Currently, the Gunners are only 4 points behind. In the Champions League, they reversed Barcelona at home and gave the youth a boost of self-confidence.

Both teams easily did not lose points on the underdogs. Arsenal defeated the "demon" Stoke City, while Manchester United beat Wigan under the disadvantage.The home team had a lot of opportunities. Martinez was very annoyed after the game, complaining that the players were punished by their opponents for their poor ability to seize opportunities, but "the score of 4 to 0 is a bit unfair."

Taking time to win under adversity is a must for any team that wants to dominate the Premier League.Therefore, the outcome between the Gunners and the Red Devils may also depend on the outcome of the dialogue between the strong.

Teams like Wigan who are afraid of Manchester United are rare in the Premier League.

This team has never defeated the Red Devils after being promoted to the Premier League, and 13 games have been exhausted.

Wigan just spent £9 resurfacing the dw pitch last week. The dw stadium is equally notorious as the Madejski Stadium of the Premier League team Reading in the past, and it is the vegetable garden that the Premier League teams are least willing to go to.Spanish coach Martinez felt that the turf "limited the performance of the team's players". He didn't say it clearly, but the implication was that Wigan had only 14 victories in 3 home games so far this season, which is due to the poor quality of the turf.

The new turf was paved in time, but unfortunately the team was still weak in the face of the Red Devils.

Wigan had an absolute advantage in the first 20 minutes and created many excellent scoring opportunities in a row.Scholes made a mistake in the backcourt and gave Moses a one-handed chance. The Wigan striker broke into the penalty area with the ball and faced Van der Sar with obvious lack of confidence. He kicked the ball on the shoulder of the Dutchman.The siege failed, Manchester United only needed a chance to counterattack and sent their opponents on the road.The triangular cooperation between Rooney, Nani and Li Yu quickly pushed the flames of war from the center circle arc to the opponent's small penalty area, and Manchester United's No. 9 goal was achieved overnight.Ferguson was complacent, "The perfect kick in front of the goal, he is best at this, and the absolute chance of scoring is extremely high." In contrast, Moses wasted single-handedly making high and low judgments.

Even if Manchester United lead 1-0, Wigan still have a chance to equalize.After receiving the cross in the penalty area, Rodlaiga slammed his heel to McCarthy who was following behind. The midfielder who was elbowed by Rooney for a long time did not slow down and shot angrily, hitting Van der Sar. Another golden opportunity wasted.The difference in players' ability to seize opportunities determines the outcome of the game. The scoreline of 4-0 may seem like a disparity in advantage, but it is by no means one of the best games played by Manchester United.

Wigan really collapsed in the last 10 minutes of the second half.After Li Yu scored the second goal after receiving a wonderful pass from Rooney, Wigan saw no hope of winning, and the defense collapsed. Rooney and Silva scored the third and fourth goals respectively, almost without marking a ball.

After this game without much suspense, Manchester United will usher in a real test.

This weekend is almost perfect for Manchester United. They beat Wigan 4-0 in the away game, extending the points and goal difference advantages ahead of Arsenal to 4 points and 6 goals respectively. In addition, Arsenal lost the league on Sunday. The Cup is likely to further affect the Gunners' state and confidence in the league. Therefore, with only 11 rounds left in the season, Manchester United has actually taken the absolute lead and initiative in the Premier League title battle.

However, Rooney's uncool elbow may change all that.

According to the "Daily Mail", the FA will consult the on-duty referee Clattenburg on this Monday local time. Rooney will face a three-game suspension, while the "Sun" reported that It is believed that Rooney's suspension period may be up to four games.Before [-] pm local time on Monday, if Rooney accepts the FA's allegations, he will be suspended for three games. If he appeals, the suspension will be postponed for one game, but the number of games is likely to be increased to four games. Rooney's appeal is likely to be deemed baseless and frivolous by the FA.

In Saturday's game, according to the replay of the TV camera, Wayne Rooney obviously elbowed the other side's McCarthy, but the referee only awarded Wigan a free kick, and did not even give Rooney a yellow card. show.

The "Daily Mail" stated that the referee Clattenburg had already known that he had made a mistake after the game. According to the rules and practices of the FA, only the referee said in his report to the FA after the game that he did not see this mistake. Rooney could be suspended for another foul, but Clattenburg awarded the opponent a free kick. Obviously he saw the foul, but he didn't find a serious elbow. If he admitted this, Rooney would definitely be suspended.Therefore, how Clattenburg explains his penalty to the FA will directly determine whether Rooney will be suspended.

根据英足总的规定，这样的暴力犯规一般会被停赛三场，而按照赛程，曼联接下来的三场国内比赛分别是3月1日客场打切尔西、3月6日客场战利物浦、3月12日足总杯遭遇阿森纳或者莱顿东方、3月19日主场打博尔顿。如果曼联提出上诉，鲁尼的禁赛期将会从本周末与利物浦的比赛开始。

In previous similar violent fouls, Newcastle's Williamson was suspended by the FA, but there are also many examples of escaping punishment.

In 2010, both De Jong and Ridgewell had rough fouls. Coincidentally, the victim was the unlucky McCarthy, but neither of them received an additional suspension. In the Community Shield game in 2009, Ferguson accused Ballack of elbowing after the game Evra, but the Germany international also escaped punishment.It is not the first time that Clattenburg has caused trouble for Ferguson. In 2007, Ferguson was fined 5000 pounds and suspended for two games because he was dissatisfied with the penalty and yelled at Clattenburg during the half-time break.

Regardless of whether Rooney is suspended in the end, Stamford Bridge, where Manchester United will go to next game, has never been his blessed land.

Except for the FA Cup, Rooney has won all the championships in the club competition, but since signing for Manchester United in 2004, Rooney has never tasted the taste of victory at Stamford Bridge.Even on the eve of the 2006 World Cup, in the key battle with Chelsea to win the championship, Manchester United not only lost 0-3, Rooney also suffered a metatarsal fracture. tortured.

Rooney said: "I really have a lot of bad memories in that place, such as the metatarsal fracture before the 2006 World Cup. In my career, I have never won there. There are some things in the football world that are difficult to explain. But it doesn't affect us, it just makes our desire to win stronger, it's a crucial game and Chelsea need it more than we do, hopefully the pressure is on their side."

In fact, since 1999, Stamford Bridge has been a "devil's away game" for Manchester United.In Manchester United's previous 12 league visits to Chelsea, they only won one victory, with a total score of 1 win, 5 draws and 6 losses, with a goal-to-goal ratio of 8 to 17.

However, Rooney, who worried people, escaped the FA punishment two days later and was able to play against Chelsea, which made Wigan boss Whelan very angry. He believed that the FA was too afraid of Manchester United and The Red Devils were treated so specially that no penalty was imposed.

Wayne Rooney elbowed James McCarthy during Manchester United's match against Wigan, and footage showed Rooney hitting the opponent's head after McCarthy blocked his run.However, the FA said it would not impose additional penalties on Rooney, on the grounds that referee Clattenburg believed that he had awarded a free kick, which was already an appropriate treatment.

Whelan was very angry about the attitude of the FA. He said: "An international player like Rooney did such a thing, but was able to escape with impunity. Obviously something is wrong."

"If it had been another team or another player, you could bet your life he would have been sent off, but the FA seem to be a little bit intimidated by words like 'Rooney', 'Manchester United'."

"These things would have been punished severely if it had happened to any of our other teams, but Manchester United were allowed to get away with it and you can't have one set of rules for one team and another set for another. "

"In my opinion, Clattenburg is one of the better referees. Maybe he didn't see how bad Wayne Rooney's action was, but didn't the other three referees see it? It was an obvious red card action. If it was changed to yes McCarthy hit Rooney and he's definitely going to be sent off."

"I don't care how the FA explain it, they and the rest of football know in their hearts that justice has not been served this time. The FA are happy that they can hide behind their rules and let Rooney get away because they Afraid to take action against Rooney and Manchester United."

Wigan coach Martinez also insisted that Rooney should be sent off. "I saw it very clearly and the referee saw it because he awarded the free-kick. Once you take the free-kick, it's very clear that it should be a red card. If you look at the video, it's very clear that it was He elbowed McCarthy in the face."

For this conflict, former England coach Kevin Keegan believes that Rooney needs to restrain himself. "You always think Wayne Rooney can be more mature in these things, but he keeps making mistakes like that, he's young and he's still learning."

"It was lucky not to get a red card. To be fair, the opponent fouled him and the opponent ran to block him, but this is not an excuse for Rooney to hit someone."

The Trident of Li Yu, Nani and Rooney can all appear at Stamford Bridge, which is definitely a good news for Manchester United!

When the media paid too much attention to Rooney, Li Yu seemed very calm. This kind of contrast has become a habit of the British media. It may be that Li Yu has too much influence in the world, and the British media have to pay attention to their own stars. , and then deliberately ignored the report of International Li.

Anyway, Li Yu doesn't care much about the reaction of the British media. This is actually a good thing. Without too many off-site factors, Li Yu can maintain a good state and maintain a very tacit relationship with the media. , and the media can be in such a relatively harmonious state, among the popular players, Li Yu can be regarded as one who has done a good job.

Coming to Stamford Bridge, Manchester United had good wishes, but the actual game poured cold water on Manchester United.

The Chelsea people played the most classic game this season at their home court. They beat the leader Manchester United in the final stage.

The king of the lore world was beaten by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which is somewhat surprising.

The goal was the Spanish golden boy Torres who spent a lot of money to introduce during the winter break!

The Spanish golden boy has continued his good form in Liverpool. It seems that this expensive transfer deal is still valuable!

After an epic comeback, Chelsea, who have played a game less, are still 12 points behind Manchester United, and with only 10 rounds left in the league, even if Chelsea win the make-up game, the gap of 9 points will make the Blues Winning the championship is only a theoretical possibility.But this does not mean that Chelsea have no goals this season. If they can win the Champions League "Big Ears" Cup when they have no championship hopes in England, it will make all the difference and will make the 2010-11 season Turned into a season full of success, brilliance, historic significance.

This season, Chelsea started with great momentum, two 6-0 and five consecutive victories showed the momentum of the defending champion.

But then the Blues encountered very big troubles. The continuous injuries and the poor state of the core players made them quickly surpassed by Manchester United, Arsenal and the upstart Manchester City.

In the League Cup and the FA Cup, their luck was not ideal and they were all eliminated, and all four were empty, which seemed to be their fate this season. "Injuries have taken a toll on us. Lampard was out for three months, John Terry was out for a lot of games, Alex had a knee injury, Drogba and Essien were out too. We need me List more? This has affected the team." Ancelotti once complained.

At the most difficult moment, the Blues need a turning point and an important morale-boosting victory, and the victory over the leaders Manchester United is a perfect opportunity.

Chelsea's soldiers did not let this opportunity slip away, even though Li Yu's wonderful long-range shot put them in a 0-1 deficit, even though the opponent was in good form and had only lost one game in the entire season.

Lampard, Petr Cech, Zhirkov, and David Luiz showed their tenacity and courage. They never stopped attacking and never gave up hope throughout the game. In the end, Luiz's wonderful shot, Lampard's A key penalty kick helped the Blues achieve a 2-1 reversal.Stamford Bridge was in a frenzy, having kept United out of victory here for nine consecutive years.

This timely victory is believed to be a great encouragement to the struggling Chelsea, and will give them more confidence in this season's Champions League and next season's Champions League qualification competition.

Currently in the Premier League standings, both Chelsea and Tottenham have played one less game. The Blues have 48 points, which is only one point more than No.5 Tottenham. No.6 Liverpool has only 39 points in the case of an extra round. , so only Tottenham can threaten Chelsea's Champions League qualification.

Chelsea needs to widen the point gap with Tottenham as soon as possible in the next games, and establish the Champions League qualification as soon as possible, so that they can concentrate more on playing the Champions League this season.

The favorable situation for Chelsea is that the team's current situation of dealing with injuries has improved.On the one hand, the injured such as Lampard and Zhirkov returned from injury one after another. On the other hand, Abramovich finally spent a lot of money and attracted Torres and David Luiz, which greatly increased the team's strength and bench depth. There can be two or three players with outstanding strength competing at each position, and they have entered a healthy development track.

In Maradona's words, "In Europe, Chelsea and Real Madrid are the teams with the most lineup selections." Therefore, Maradona is optimistic about Chelsea's ability to reach the final and believes that the Blues have the ability to fight against Real Madrid and Barcelona. I believe that Real Madrid and Barcelona will enter the final of the Champions League, but in the competition for the Champions League, we should not forget about Chelsea. Chelsea has very good players, there is still a lot of money to buy players, and the club chairman is not stingy. Real Madrid and Chelsea have Ability to form a new team to challenge Barcelona's team."

In this game between Chelsea and Manchester United, the Blues showed the strength that Maradona said.

Although Chelsea's ball possession rate throughout the game was not as good as Manchester United, they were actually the more dominant side on the field. Chelsea accounted for 46.7% of the ball in their own half, which means that the ball spent more time in it. United's half-time run.

Moreover, Chelsea's shots reached 20 times, with 7 shots on goal, while Manchester United only had 9 shots, 2 of which were on goal; Chelsea had as many as 10 corner kicks, and Manchester United only 2 times. The dominant side (especially in the second half).

Ancelotti's three midfielders Lampard, Essien, and Ramirez all showed excellent form, and the new aid "Mr. 5000 Million" Torres also found a sense of scoring, but David- Luiz brought a huge surprise, being extremely aggressive on the defensive end and contributing a goal to tie the score on the offensive end.The current Chelsea have returned to the strength they had at the beginning of the season. They can indeed fight against any giants in Europe. Looking at the strong dialogue in the Premier League this season, they can exert such pressure on Manchester United and make the Red Devils so passive in 45 minutes. And only Chelsea.
