Chapter 423 Suspense Rebirth

Manchester United striker Hernandez believes that Red Devils star Li Yu is better than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in some respects.

The Mexican has scored 15 goals this season, and Li Yu has maintained a very high scoring efficiency throughout the season, often staged a lore savior at critical moments.Regarding the striker partner, Hernandez commented: "Before I came to Manchester United, I have always admired Li Yu, and now it is a pleasant feeling to be able to partner with him. Our cooperation is very good. "

"There is no doubt that Li Yu is the best striker in the world. In my opinion, there is no one. His shooting is better than Messi, and his header is better than Luo. They have different styles, but Li Yu Jade is a super striker."

Hernandez said these words in an interview with the "Sun". As for whether Li Yu's shooting is better than Messi's and whether his header is better than Luo's, it is obviously a matter of opinion. If the interview is true, then The Mexicans clearly made their point.

In addition, Hernandez also said that in order to adapt to the Premier League, he has done a lot of physical exercises. "Football these days is not just about technique, it's about physical preparation and adaptation."

"I run a lot, to build my muscles and to increase my speed. In Mexico, the rhythm is not as intense as here. In the Premier League, physical strength is very important. I have to make some sacrifices to be able to do it just last summer. Something that seemed impossible when it came.”

"I wanted to keep learning and take my chances, but I never expected the success I have now, now I'm a player in the best club competition in the world (the Champions League), in Mexico I watched the Champions League, but now I'm One of them."

Speaking of the Champions League, Hernandez said that now the whole team is looking forward to reaching the final and fighting against Barcelona again: "We have a good chance to enter the final, Barcelona is also a favorite to enter the final, everyone at Manchester United I hope it can be like winning Barcelona in the 2009 final, if it can be achieved at Wembley, it will be absolutely extraordinary."

Next Manchester United will face strong opponents in the Premier League against Arsenal and Chelsea. Hernandez said: "I believe Arsenal are very difficult to deal with. They have excellent players. Maybe the pressure has damaged them, including losing to Barcelona and Sa and lost to Birmingham in the League Cup final. But this time Arsenal will still be very difficult to beat, we must go all out.”[

"But the spirit and history of Manchester United will scare our opponents. Even if we are 10-0 down with 2 minutes to go, people know we will come back. It is difficult for other teams to do it. We have to play. Chelsea, I know they will fight until the last minute but we have the initiative and if we win these games we will win the Premier League."

Hernandez's success this season has earned him praise from many celebrities. Former Liverpool star McManaman said: "Herenandez's achievements this season are unbelievable. He is a man from Mexico. I don’t know how good his English was when he first came to Manchester United, but the fact is he’s adapted to everything amazingly.”

"You think he's going to be great in a few years, but he's been really good so far, he's running the game really well, he's always in good positions, and that's what only really good shooters do. This, it’s something inherent.”

Even Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted that Hernandez has been fantastic this season. "He played very well this season, very good, has been outstanding. And he also put Rooney in a new position, as a playmaker."

"Li Yu can adapt to any requirement, which is very suitable for Manchester United. Hernandez runs around in front, and Li Yu has been wandering around, always maintaining the determination to score goals. Such a player is really scary."

For Arsenal, Manchester United's next-round opponent, the past two weeks have been a nightmare. Almost everyone doesn't know why Arsenal collapsed at this time.

The 19 shots in the game were far higher than the opponent's 12 shots, and the possession rate of 672% was double that of the home team Bolton. However, it was such a game of suppression and suppression, and the losing side was the theory Arsenal with an absolute advantage in data!

What's even more shameful is that the opponent scored the lore goal in the 90th minute of the game.Of course, this kind of "disgrace" is probably used to the Arsenal people. From Sunderland at the beginning of the season, to the 4-goal lead against Newcastle being equalized, and to the recent Liverpool, the Gunners are always used to it. Conceding goals towards the end of the game, until they lost their last hope of winning this season.

After losing to Bolton, the Arsenal team led by Arsene Wenger only achieved an embarrassing record of 7 win, 1 draws and 5 loss in the last 1 rounds of the league. Their position in the standings was also overtaken by Chelsea. Afterwards, Wenger, who was still obsessed with winning the championship, was even 2 points behind the No.3 Chelsea, and even 9 points behind the leader Manchester United. Winning the championship has become empty talk. The nightmare is approaching them step by step.

"I said a few weeks ago that Chelsea were our main challengers, but I don't know if anyone would have listened to that at the time. Yes, Arsenal play good football, but the Chelsea guys are obviously better. , They are more experienced than Arsenal, they have a strong lineup, the key is more experience in the championship." A few weeks ago, when Arsenal were still "biting" Manchester United in the standings, Ferguson had already foreseen When it came to the collapse of the Arsenal people, it was just that Ferguson's remarks at that time were more likely to be understood as a "provocation" against Wenger.

Now it seems that Ferguson's disdain has become the naked truth.From a distance, the next round of Arsenal's key league battle against Manchester United at home was originally defined as a key battle between Manchester United and Arsenal for the championship, so this is more like a kind of irony.Because what Wenger fought was not a battle for the title, but a pure "blocking war", a "blocking war" of making wedding dresses for Chelsea people.

From the perspective of player performance, look at Jolu's "suicidal" performance at the Reebok Stadium tonight, and then look at the god-level performance of Gary Cahill, who was missed in the winter. How does it feel to know Wenger on the sidelines? "Chelsea's strength is even stronger." Ferguson's warning is still in my ears, and it can be said to be right!With such a dilapidated lineup and full of holes in the defense, how can Arsenal compete with teams like Manchester United and Chelsea?

We can see this in a recent Premier League coach transfer spending list and money burning list published by British media.On this list, Mark Hughes, who was the coach of Manchester City at the time, ranked first with an average burn of 146 billion pounds a season. There are many top ten players like Mourinho, Benitez, and Carlo Ancelotti. Like Mancini, the "burning money" of these famous coaches also objectively reflects the investment, expenditure and expenditure of teams such as Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc., which is a symbol of the money burning of giants.

However, in the top 15 of this list, it is difficult for us to find the figure of Arsenal professor Arsene Wenger. After looking carefully, the Frenchman was ranked 18th in the "money burning list", which is the same as that of Sunderland. Coaches like McCarthy and Bruce are in the company.

Of course, there are even more shabby statistics. Since Wenger coached Arsenal for 15 seasons, the average investment per season is only 168 million pounds!This is almost equal to one-ninth of what Manchester City invested in Mark Hughes!Close to one percent of the investment!A hundred times!With such a low investment and such a huge disparity, it is no wonder that Arsenal will encounter the embarrassment of 6 championships in 0 years.After all, Wenger is not a god. How can he compete with the giants of the Premier League just by relying on his "touching stone"? [

It is true that in today's world football, spending money may not necessarily bring heavy trophies one after another, but conversely, if you don't spend money, it can be said that it is impossible to win a championship.

Such giants as Barcelona have a strong youth training system and their own "blood-making" ability is the best in football. They still invest a lot of money every year: they bought Mascherano and Villa last summer, and introduced Ibrahimovic the year before. and Ziglinski; Inter Milan introduced such giants as Sneijder, Milito, Motta and Lucio in one breath the summer before last, and as a result, they won three golden trophies and the unprecedented "three trophies" after one season. "The Champion" is brilliant; Chelsea spent 3 million pounds in the winter transfer period, and finally made a strong comeback in the middle and late stages of the league...

So, why is only Arsenal slow to do it?Is it really financially strapped because of the construction of the Emirates Stadium a few years ago?

"The only thing I can say is that the club is in a healthy financial position and we can afford to spend a lot of money if we need to. But the average age of our team is 23, why do we have to make big changes after the season and Buy someone?" Wenger's words can be said to have chilled the hearts of Arsenal fans a lot. Since the finances are healthy and they don't want to buy people to strengthen their strength, will the Gunners' road to the championship continue like this?

After the tragic lore by Bolton, Arsenal has been drawn to 3 points in the standings by Chelsea, who came from behind, and also 9 points behind the leader Manchester United. It can be said that the championship is basically hopeless. Crown's embarrassing ending.After the game, coach Wenger looked depressed, and he finally admitted that winning the championship was "very slim" for his team.

"It is true that winning the championship is very slim for us, but we will still do our best. We have lost too many points, which makes us frustrated. We should have scored 9 points this week ( Liverpool, Tottenham, Bolton), but we only got two points, this season is really a story."

Wenger said angrily: "Our players have shown a positive attitude this season. Our players can be blamed. If there is really a culprit to be named, then this person is me. I am leading this team. Team."

"We created a lot of chances in this game, but we still couldn't score as many goals, which makes me very dissatisfied. Our team is still immature, and sometimes experience and mentality are very important." Wen Greg finally said.

No matter what kind of mentality Wenger is now, a battle with Manchester United is inevitable.

It is such an Arsenal, but defeated the Red Devils in the home game against Manchester United.

Manchester United lost a goal at the Emirates Stadium. Ferguson couldn't hide his disappointment with the result of the game after the game, but he insisted that the referee missed a penalty at the last moment. At the same time, he also admitted Vidic's handball in the first half Being missed also saved Manchester United. He told Sky Sports: "In such a major game, the referee should make as few mistakes as possible."

"Although I think Vidic's handball was very hidden and it was difficult to see clearly, it also found a balance. But about the last penalty, Clichy must have known it himself. He raised it in horror. It's gone," Ferguson added. "Obviously, Chelsea's chance has come and that's what these decisions have led to."

In the following game, Manchester United will face Ancelotti's Chelsea challenge at Old Trafford. For this game that will determine the title of the Premier League champion this season, Ferguson also expressed his concern: "Last season they played in the Premier League. It happened once at Old Trafford (implying a misjudgment), and that's what worries me now." He changed the subject, and continued: "Speaking of the game at Old Trafford, our supporters Will be ready and so will the players."

Ferguson believes that the team gradually took control of the game after conceding the ball, but it is a pity that we did not score: "We dominated the game after conceding the ball. I think we should pay back. We handled the ball unreasonably, but we conceded the ball. After that, it was basically in the opponent's half."

In an interview with MUTV, Ferguson said: "I think the team didn't really enter the game until we conceded a goal. We were in a bad state before that. In fairness, the game should be a draw. They only had one shot on goal. It’s disappointing.” In fact, the post-match opt statistics showed that Van Persie also had another shot on goal, which threatened the goal guarded by Van der Sar.

"It's hard for me to say it's due to the fatigue of the players because they fought hard in the last 30 minutes, which is good. They gave it their all, but it was a bit late. The important thing is that we pass the ball better and use the Space, we didn't do enough in the first half. Wayne had a good shot saved and Nani had a chance."

"Nani had a great cross, and Li Yu missed it. During that time, we all performed very well, but it's a pity that we didn't get the goal we wanted."

"Vidic's handball may have touched the fingertips. It is difficult for you to ask the referee or the linesman to see the ball clearly. Owen's ball is an obvious penalty. I am worried that in important games, the penalty will be against us. "

"I don't think Van der Sar had a lot of chances to save at all, Arsenal played well, it was smooth, but I'll be honest, they didn't have a few real decent chances. When we came off Anderson, Park Ji-sung didn't adjust his position in time, Still in the position of the left midfielder, this gave Ramsey an opportunity." At the end, he did not forget to say stiffly: "The conceded goal is the only chance we gave our opponent today."

After Manchester United's Premier League title match against Arsenal, Owen, who almost got a penalty for Manchester United after coming off the bench, said, "We are not happy. Today's result makes the next two games more critical, but we are still in the middle." In a great location."

Li Yu said, "Today is a bad result, but (the championship) is still in our hands." Sir Alex Ferguson put pressure on the referee in due course, "Obviously, these misjudgments have now given Chelsea a huge opportunity. They A misjudgment beat us at Old Trafford last season and that's what worries me at this point."

After losing in this campaign, Manchester United's advantage in the championship group is getting smaller and smaller, but as the number of rounds decreases, Manchester United is getting closer and closer to the finish line.

As Irving and Li Yu said, "The championship is still in the hands of Manchester United." Now, with three rounds left in the Premier League this season, Manchester United is 3 points ahead of second-ranked Chelsea and third-ranked Arsenal. Receive 3 points.The highest score that Manchester United can theoretically get is 3 points!

The highest score Chelsea can theoretically get is 79 points, and the highest score Arsenal can theoretically get is 76 points.

On Wednesday evening, Manchester United will host Schalke 04 at Old Trafford in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. Since the Red Devils won 2-0 away in the first leg, it is not ruled out that the Red Devils will send some substitute players and let many main players take turns. possibility.On Sunday afternoon, Manchester United will continue to sit at Old Trafford to face their direct rivals Chelsea, while Arsenal will go away to challenge Stoke City, which has not yet been fully relegated.

Let's assume for the time being that Arsenal can beat Stoke City away.

Under this premise, if Manchester United beat Chelsea in the next round, Manchester United will lead Chelsea and Arsenal by 6 points. With 2 rounds left in the league, the Red Devils have almost firmly grasped the Premier League trophy. With 2 point in the middle, there is no need to look at the faces of Chelsea and Arsenal, and won the championship with 1 points.

If Manchester United and Chelsea shake hands, Manchester United has 74 points leading Chelsea by 3 points and Arsenal by 4 points. Since Manchester United will sit at home against newly promoted Blackpool in the final round, it is very likely to win the game.

Therefore, as long as Manchester United draws away with Blackburn in the penultimate round, the Red Devils will win the championship with 78 points.

If Manchester United loses to Chelsea at home, the Blues will tie the Red Devils in points, while Arsenal's points will be 3 points less than them. With the last two rounds of the league remaining, the title race will heat up.The most extreme situation is that Manchester United loses away to Blackburn, Chelsea loses away to Everton, and Arsenal wins all three rounds. In the end, the three teams may end up with the same score and rely on goal difference to determine the final result. champion.

Now, after 35 rounds, both Manchester United and Chelsea have a goal difference of 38 goals, while Arsenal's goal difference is 32 goals, which is a little bit disadvantaged.

If Manchester United loses to their direct rival Chelsea at home in the next round, the Red Devils' goal difference will be at least 2 goals less than Chelsea's. This is undoubtedly very unfavorable in the last two rounds of competition including goal difference.

Therefore, Manchester United must not afford to lose at home in the next round.It is worth mentioning that if Manchester United wins the last 3 rounds and finally wins the championship with a record of 82 points, this will be the lowest score winner of the Premier League in the last 10 seasons. The last time was in the 00-01 season, Manchester United scored 80 points. If Manchester United wins the championship with only 77 points, it will be the second-lowest Premier League championship in the last 1996 seasons after the Red Devils won the championship with 97 points in the 75-14 season.
