future king

Manchester United stars Li Yu and Wayne Rooney opened their personal twitter, and they immediately welcomed countless fans, but the experience of another Red Devils player was much more miserable. Just two hours after midfielder Gibson opened twitter, he was scolded by Manchester United fans , had to close the account, and his twitter was declared "dead" after only two hours of survival.

Perhaps inspired by twitter expert Leo Ferdinand, Gibson recently opened his own account under the name of "bbo28". Ferdinand confirmed the arrival of his teammates in his twitter, and called on his 842000 fans to welcome Gibson.

Unexpectedly, in just two hours, Gibson had to close the account because Manchester United's own fans crazily insulted the Irish midfielder on it.One fan wrote: "Team working so hard on the ball and then you shoot in the last row and damn every time!"

Another wrote: "You're shit, Ferguson will sell you in the summer!" Another wrote: "You're a disgrace as a player, what does Ferguson see in you? I don't know."

Gibson performed poorly in Manchester United's last game. He was criticized for often choosing long-range shots himself.Seeing the attack from the Red Devils fans, the Irish midfielder sadly closed his twitter account. Ferdinand confirmed: "Gibson said he came up to see what the fans wrote. He left because he didn't want to be disturbed."

Of course, not all Manchester United fans are so harsh, some people began to defend Gibson, and some people launched the twitter campaign of "bring Jibo back", hoping to let the Manchester United midfielder reopen twitter.In the Red Devils, the 23-year-old Gibson is just a substitute and rotation player, and he probably shouldn't be under such heavy pressure.

Meanwhile, United boss Ferguson admitted he would feel jealous if he compared the Red Devils' Champions League successes with other European giants, who have won the competition four times and are only tied for the most times in history fifth.

Ferguson said: "We should have reached the semi-finals. Expectations are always high in the European arena, and for other clubs' European results, you will feel jealous."

“看看皇马(9次冠军3次亚军)、ac米兰(7次冠军4次亚军)、拜仁慕尼黑(4次冠军4次亚军)、阿贾克斯(4次冠军2次亚军)和利物浦(5次冠军2次亚军)。我们试图拉近距离。”

"We need to reach this height as soon as possible. The current squad has enough European experience."

Facing the semi-final opponent Schalke 04, Ferguson did not dare to underestimate it. "At this stage, you always have some apprehension. The semi-finals are never easy. We had that in 1999 when we faced Juventus in the semi-finals. We were too anxious at home, okay. It was loose in the second leg. Three years ago in the semi-final against Barcelona, ​​we got what we wanted in the first leg, but in the last 10 minutes of the second leg we got a little nervous."

It is worth mentioning that during Ferguson's career coaching Manchester United, he has never eliminated a German team in two rounds. The Red Devils were eliminated by Bayern in the Champions League last season. After Dortmund and Leverkusen, Ferguson said that in order to break this "German curse", we must pay attention to the opponent Schalke.

"Manchester United will never be misled by public opinion into thinking that the game is easy to play," Ferguson said. "Schalke have beaten all teams at home in the Champions League this season, including Valencia and Inter Milan. Good form, so the game will be very difficult, we have to pay attention."

Li Yu will be a key figure for Manchester United in the semi-finals. Ferguson praised the Chinese striker's stable and efficient performance since the season. He said: "It's hard to believe that a player can maintain such a good state for a year. For any player, It seems normal to have troughs. But Li Yu broke this rule, especially when he always stood up at critical moments. Manchester United can have such players, which is the best guarantee for the Champions League!"

In the Champions League semi-final against Schalke, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar will set a record. This is the No.13 time in his personal career to participate in the Champions League semi-final, and he will be tied with former Real Madrid and Chelsea midfielder Makelele as the record holder By.

But Van der Sar himself is more concerned about the team's performance. "It's always good when you're in a winning team," said the 40-year-old Dutch veteran. It's been a good career, and hopefully I can end well."

In the semi-finals, Van der Sar will face the threat of Raul, and the Dutchman praised the opponent. "Raul is an amazing player, he played at Real Madrid for so many years at a high level, scored so many goals for them in the league, and he is also a top scorer in the Champions League."

"With Raúl you can't relax, he's such a threat, he scores goals with the slightest chance and when we face him, our defenders need to concentrate."

In the game that night, it was hard to imagine such a one-sided Champions League semi-final. Schalke 04, who is currently ranked tenth in the Bundesliga, is far behind in strength.After experiencing three draws and three losses in the past, Manchester United broke the "curse" of being invincible as a guest in Germany in the knockout stage, setting multiple records and further strengthening their defense confidence.

Schalke 04 has undergone a coaching change not long ago. It is not easy to eliminate Valencia and Inter Milan to break into the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time despite the sluggish league results.

Also because he has accumulated enough self-confidence at the Schalke Stadium, coach Rangnick decided to continue to adopt a full-scale offensive approach to deal with Manchester United.

It's a pity that there is a big gap between the players of the two sides in terms of passing and receiving, personal confrontation and speed. Schalke 04's third line is too far away, the midfield recovery protection is insufficient, and the defense line is full of loopholes.

The number one goalkeeper of the national team, Neuer, is like the "upper body" of Spiderman. He "weaves" an invisible web in front of the goal entirely by his personal ability. In the first half alone, he blocked the opponent's 8 shots on target. Block Rooney, Hernandez and Giggs from close range.The strange thing is that coach Rangnick did not change his tactics and adjust personnel to shrink the defensive line at halftime because he was lucky enough to hold 0:0 in the first half. , transfer.Neuer's "miracle" finally could not be sustained in 67 minutes.

As Ferguson said after the game, Li Yu's invalid offside goal was a psychological turning point, letting his teammates know that the gate of "Spider-Man" can be broken.

Giggs, who was able to do well throughout the game, has kept his best form in the Champions League for the past two months. After assisting the team for nearly four goals in the Champions League, this time he was blocked by Neuer. With his left foot, he scored the 10th Champions League away goal in his career, scored in Germany for the first time in the past 10 years, and scored goals in the 15th Champions League (same as Raul).

Moreover, he also surpassed Inzaghi to become the oldest goal scorer in the Champions League, and continued to write a unique legend of agelessness.

Manchester United is lucky this season. Manchester United's No. 9 has performed outstandingly throughout the season. No one can replace him in the Manchester United team. There are Giggs, Nani and the comeback Valencia and Park Ji-sung.

More importantly, after experiencing a series of personal and family crises in the first half of the season, the number one star Rooney has reproduced last year's omnipotent performance in the sprint stage of this season.With plenty of physical fitness, he can run all over the field, assist in the conversion of offense and defense, organize the offense and directly threaten the opponent's gate. These aspects are almost impeccable.

The goals scored in the three games in the past month are worth a lot of money, including the hat-trick of the away game against West Ham. When the decision was made to attack in the third line (at that time), the situation in the Premier League was stabilized. 8 minutes after assisting Ryan Giggs to seal the victory, 2 of his nearly 8 Champions League goals were scored in away games, which shows the stability of his home and away games.

The only key game that he could not play due to suspension this month: Manchester United lost to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final!He also bid farewell to the shadow of the red card in the 2006 World Cup as a winner in this stadium. The mature Rooney finally showed the world the glorious side of his world-class star.

After the semi-finals of the first round, Manchester United also became the first team since the restructuring of the Champions League without conceding a goal in all 6 away games in a single season. Van der Sar, who appeared in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the 13th time (tying Makelele's record), also saved the opponent's goal Several cold shots did not give Raul any chance to make up shots. He became the first goalkeeper to "zero block" opponents in 50 games in the Champions League.

The strongest central defender combination Vidic + Ferdinand is very focused and cooperates tacitly to ensure that the two fullbacks let go and step forward to assist.Fabio is a new addition to the defensive line. You must know that he has only started two games in the Premier League this season!

The first time he started in the knockout stage of the Champions League was an away game in the semi-finals, and it was an unfamiliar right-back position in the past. However, Fabio not only was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the opponents Baumjohn and Farfan, but also played several times. The long-distance raid showed great explosive power and dribbling ability, and he did not suffer at all in dealing with high-altitude balls in the penalty area in the final stage.

O'Shea and Brown were often injured, and Gary Neville hung up his boots. The original right back position was not very reliable for Manchester United (Raphael also made a mistake in the battle with Bayern last season), but now Fabio's excellent performance in the past month The worries of the whole team were relieved.Manchester United has never lost by more than one goal at home in European wars. Now they have a 2-0 advantage in their hands. It can be said that they will appear again at the new Wembley Stadium on May 5 and compete for this year's "Big Ears Cup". become a foregone conclusion.

What does 5 years mean to a professional player? Five years can take Ronaldo from the top of Europe to a tearful curtain call; five years can make the once unknown Messi double his worth five times, and step onto the altar of worship; five years can make a hasty The 5-year-old reckless boy who ended his first World Cup trip-Rooney, the current king of Manchester United (Manchester United news), was reborn as a phoenix five years later on the same turf, just like Odysseus, perfectly interpreting a period Mythical journey of self-salvation.

In the World Cup in Germany 5 years ago, Rooney, who was under 21 years old, was on the Gelsenkirchen Stadium. He received a red card for viciously stamping on Carvalho, ruining his World Cup trip and becoming the number one sinner of England's exit.

Five years later, when the king of Manchester United set foot on the same lawn again, under the gaze of more than a billion eyeballs, he dominated the game with a gorgeous goal and a perfect assist, and he left the field with his head held high, this time It is the real pride to go to Schalke!From the World Cup to the Champions League, in these two most important competitions in world football, Rooney threw the nightmare of the past thousands of miles away. He tried his best to return to the place of sadness through five years, just for today's moment of rectification !

As a striker, Rooney played for 83 minutes and ran nearly 10 kilometers in the whole game. He worked tirelessly to retreat the ball and thread the needle. He successfully gave the Red Devils an overwhelming advantage in the away game and directly helped his predecessor Giger. Stephen knocked on the door of victory.

In the 67th minute, Rooney received a pass from Evra's left side with his back in the middle of the front court. After turning around flexibly, he first pretended to shoot, and then made a horizontal move to attract two Schalke players to rush up. The arch of his foot pushed an extremely concealed pass. Veteran Giggs faced the brave Neuer 1-on-1 with no one marking him. He calmly pushed and scored. Manchester United worked hard Relying on the exquisite cooperation of the old and the young, the Germans finally broke through the psychological defense line of the Germans.

Only 2 minutes after the first goal, Li Yu sent a wonderful pass at the top of the penalty area. The chubby who broke into the penalty area played Giggs' calmness. His push went straight to the dead corner, like a god. Neuer finally fell at his feet, and lost his confidence in desperation.After scoring the goal, Rooney celebrated like a glider, and then pointed to his partner Li Yu who assisted him. At this moment, Rooney has nothing else to do except the happiness that football brings him, and let the 1-4 shame in the World Cup go to hell.

Of course, Rooney's contribution to the game was more than that. In the 3rd minute after the opening of the first half, his long shot hit Atsuto Uchida and went straight to the dead corner of the goal. If it weren't for Neuer's brave save, Manchester United would have Grasp the situation of the game early.

In the 34th minute, Rooney changed speed with a beautiful fake move, and the header passed Metzelder. The German central defender was forced to pull down Xiaopang and received a yellow card, thus becoming timid for the rest of the game.

In the 78th minute, the team had already led the opponent by two goals. Rooney still relentlessly steals the opponent who lost his center of gravity in the frontcourt, and still tries to create the third goal.When he was replaced by Nani in the 3rd minute, Schalke fans booed a little unfriendlyly, but compared with their previous cheers of up to 83 decibels, Rooney's wonderful performance obviously won the respect of more fans of the home team .

In an interview with the media before the game, the German goalkeeper expressed his fear of Rooney and hoped that his teammates could stare at the striker composed of Rooney and Li Yu. But he also said: "In the (2010) World Cup, I I already had the experience against Wayne Rooney once when Germany had the last laugh and I hope it will be the same against Manchester United. Manchester United are a star team and I must admit I admire their style of play."

In an interview with the "Daily Express" before the game, Ferguson also expressed his recognition of Rooney's recent state: "His state in the last two months is unparalleled. Excellent players have the ability to self-regulate their own state. I Think Wayne is a special kid, he understands better than anyone that his performance on the court will be judged directly by others. You see, he has proved himself thoroughly now, you have to forget the bad moments, this is a profession The quality of the players, Wayne did it."

The "unpleasant moment" in Ferguson's mouth may be alluding to Rooney's 9-month ball drought since last year.In the 8-to-4 knockout match against Bayern in the Champions League last season, Rooney was accidentally injured and Manchester United was also eliminated.

After losing to the German, Rooney seemed to be in a slump, the ball shortage spread, and the off-court news continued. Today, being able to pay back to the opponent at the German's home court can be regarded as a sigh of relief.Although Rooney's return has been said countless times, being able to fully explode in such a crucial Champions League game shows that Rooney has indeed returned to his peak state.In the "Sun" recently selected the best team of the Premier League season, Wayne Rooney overwhelmed his teammates and the current Premier League striker Beba was selected. It seems that good things happen one after another. Ace is really back.

For Rooney, not everything is smooth sailing.This week, under the instigation of Ferdinand, Fatty opened Weibo. Although he attracted more than 10 fans in just one hour, many of them came with the purpose of ridiculing him. Some people also satirized the relationship between Rooney and his wife Colleen with the incident of Rooney recruiting prostitutes.

But Rooney didn't seem to mind. In his subsequent Weibo messages, he always praised his new partner Hernandez, calling him Manchester United's "deal of the century".After Xiaopea beat Everton last weekend, instead of making Rooney feel the pressure, it inspired Rooney to cooperate with him **, no matter from the perspective of the individual or the team, this is a good thing for both of them .

In contrast, the other hero in the game seems to have long been used to hiding behind the spotlight, and the role of Manchester United's No. 9 has been ignored by everyone again. I don't know when this phenomenon has become an established habit. Although Li Yu didn't want to argue about anything, many Huaxia fans were complaining. This was intentional by the English media.

Everything is nothing to Li Yu. Winning the game is the most important thing. As for the media's reaction?It's nice to have some rest without them.
