Chapter 479

Finally ushered in the last round of the championship battle, Manchester United played away against Sunderland!Manchester City v Park Rangers!

Although Manchester United only won a small away goal!And Manchester City relied on Tevez's goal in the final stoppage time to beat the Park Rangers in a thrilling manner.

Everything becomes settled!

Manchester United ushered in the 21st trophy, and it was also Ancelotti's first trophy led by Manchester United!

In this season, Manchester United, which has been eliminated in all other battlefields, finally seized the last fig leaf, allowing Manchester United to save face.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Manchester United's dominance in the Premier League is gone today!

The team's third line, only the attack line is still good, but that is when Manchester United's No. 9 Li Yu can play.

The other two lines are no longer luxurious!

If it weren't for Scholes' timely return to fight the fire in the second half of the season, the final league title would likely fall by the wayside.

This is not just a problem in the midfield, but a decline in overall strength. The performance of Mata introduced this season is not satisfactory, and there are occasional flashes, but he cannot continue to output.

To some extent, the attacking lineup of the Manchester United midfielder is not bad, but the interception ability is declining.

The problem of defense is also quite serious, the old ones are old, and the young ones are few!

It's a bit embarrassing that this adjective, which is so unacceptable, appears on the Premier League overlord Manchester United!

Is this still the old Manchester United?

From the strength of the three lines, of course not!

Now Manchester United must sign in, a large number of signings, a brand new dynasty, must have new courtiers to assist.

A difficult championship is not a good result. When did Manchester United make people so nervous.

The rise of Manchester City cannot be ignored, but many people believe that more is the decline of Manchester United's own strength.

When did Manchester United no longer buy big-name players, but rely on transferring big-name players to maintain the team?

Everything has to wait for the plan for the new season. I hope that in the new season, Manchester United will bring no small surprises.

This season's Premier League has come to an end. Although the championship trophy was won at the last moment, Manchester United still proved the background of the giants with their actual performance.As usual, Manchester United held a grand awards ceremony after the end of the season to commend players who have performed outstandingly this season. The most eye-catching player at this year's awards ceremony is undoubtedly Manchester United's No. 9 core Li Yu.

Li Yu's outstanding performance this season is obvious to all. In addition to 34 goals, he also contributed an astonishing 13 assists, only 1 times less than No.2 Silva.Manchester United's No. 9 today can be described as three blessings. In addition to being the most important player of the season voted by Manchester United fans in the world, Manchester United No. 9 was also elected as the best player of the season voted by the club players, and the team's best player of the season. The ball is in the bag.

The best team of the season voted by fans will be awarded the "Matt Busby Award". This award was established in 1988 and is awarded to the most popular Manchester United player after each season. The first winner is McClair.Valencia is the eighth foreign player to receive this honor since the award was founded, the other seven are Cantona, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Kanchelski, Hernandez, Nemanja Vidic, Heinze and C Luo.

"I am very happy to be able to win three awards," said Li Yu, who stood on the podium for the third time today. Before that, he also received the player's vote for the best of the season and the best goal of the season. There should be 3 awards because every one of my team-mates deserves one and I want to thank them and I want to thank my fans, whether they are in the UK or anywhere else in the world."

Li Yu received a total of 57% of the votes from the fans, followed by Mata, Wonder Boy with 24% of the votes, and Scholes ranked third with 3% of the votes. In the ball selection, Li Yu's earth-shattering goal in Manchester United's 12-2012 victory over Blackburn on April 4, 2 was selected as the best of the season. The 2-year-old Michael Keane won the title of best player in the reserve team, winning a total of 0% of the votes.Mats Daly, a 19-year-old supernova from Norway, was named Young Player of the Year.

The Premier League has come to an end, and there is still a Premier League team that has not completed all the tasks of this season, so Chelsea, who changed coaches in the middle of this season!

After the soul-stirring two-round semi-finals and the thrilling elimination of Barcelona, ​​fans have reason to believe that Chelsea will also perform miracles in the final.

Before the game, they were not favored at all because of the lack of major generals, and they had the last laugh in the "away game" Champions League final. The efforts of all Chelsea players are admirable.

In this game, "Warcraft" Drogba should be the first to contribute. He used his brave performance to turn a difficult "away game" into an exhibition game for himself, and it is also logical to become the team of this game. The best player of the game, accepting the worship of all Blues fans.In addition to Drogba, under the gaze of hundreds of millions of people, people were pleasantly surprised to see Mikel, the "Silver Ball" winner who was able to equalize Messi in the 2005 World Youth Championship, is back.

Although the Ghanaian "Buffalo" Essien, who will play as the main defensive midfielder as long as he is healthy, has recovered from his injury and is in a very good state in training before the game, the head coach still chose the Nigerian Mikel who is also in good shape.Judging from Mikel's performance throughout the game, if Drogba alone dominated the game, then Mikel used his skillful performance to limit Bayern Munich's offense to the greatest extent.

During the game, Mikel was placed in the midfielder position by the head coach. With a height of 1 meters, Mikel is tall and strong, and has become an impenetrable "bronze wall" in front of two not very reliable central defenders: For tall and strong players such as Gomez and Muller, Mikel used his stronger body to withstand them; facing the dexterous cruising of Ribery and Robben, Mikel's skills and speed can also keep up.Therefore, as long as the ball is within Mikel's defensive range, he will basically get it very safely.It can be said that he relied entirely on his own strength to withstand Bayern Munich's impact at the top of the penalty area for almost 90 minutes.

While completing the defense, as long as he receives a clearance or pass from his teammates, Mikel will complete the forward transportation very well. This is Mikel's second biggest task in this field.

Because his team closed too far back and had few spots in the frontcourt, Mikel could only use his strong body to control the ball, and then wait for his teammates to advance forward before completing the pass, ensuring that the team did not pass the ball because of Implementing the defensive strategy and turning it into a blind defense that only clears the siege is very important for Chelsea, which has limited counterattack opportunities.

As a result, in the game, there are often pictures of Mikel using his strong body and flexible skills to protect the ball, and Bayern Munich will have 3-4 players in the frontcourt to grab the ball at his feet.After the game, Sky Sports scored 6 points for Mikel, and we can only think that they are used to such a strong performance against Mikel.In the ratings in the fan area, Mikel scored 8.1 points, second only to Drogba and Ashley Cole.

As an extremely dazzling technical midfielder in the 2005 World Youth Championship, Mikel was gradually transformed into a defensive midfielder after being signed by Mourinho, but he has always been because of another "" With the existence of "beast waist" Essien, it is difficult to have a chance to shine for many years.

However, even though he was playing a football he was not used to in a position that he was not good at, Mikel still relied on his strong technical foundation and football talent to continue to grow.In the last two seasons, because of Essien's injury, Mikel became the team's main midfielder, but because the use of coach Villas-Boas was not successful at the beginning of this season, Mikel was used as a substitute most of the time. Since DiMatteo took office, the most obvious change he has made to the team is to let Mikel start and play almost 90 minutes every game.

In addition, Mikel, who seems to be an experienced football player, has just passed his 25th birthday. If there is no accident, Mikel will provide a strong midfielder for the Blues in the next 6 or 7 years. Strong support.At the beginning of the season, Mikel under Villas-Boas lost momentum for a while, and even Romeu couldn't compete, and he was even on the verge of leaving the team. However, the strong performance under Di Matteo at the end of the season will obviously make Chelsea more valuable to him. Reappraise, sell?It is no longer possible.

In addition, before the game, many British media predicted that Di Matteo would make a risky move and arrange Bertrand, a teenager who had never had any experience in the Champions League, as the starting left midfielder, which made many fans feel unbelievable. The young players who have played as substitutes in the league have proved through this battle that the head coach's move is not a dangerous move, but a wise move.

Bertrand is only 22 years old this year. This season, he only got 7 league appearances when the main left back Ashley Cole was resting, and he has always played as a left back.

In this game, Di Matteo nominally arranged for Bertrand to be the left midfielder, but actually arranged for him to act as Ashley Cole's "deputy" to assist him in completing the defense on the left, and this trick really worked. To the effect.In the game, Robben, the starting right winger with the most individual assault ability in the Bayern team and who can pass and shoot, did not take advantage of Bertrand from the very beginning. He began to look for opportunities on the center and left, and only after Bertrand was off the field did he focus on his handy right. It can be seen that the defense of Bertrand and Ashley Cole made Robben almost impossible take.

Moreover, as a left midfielder, Bertrand also blocked Robben's two powerful shots in the 18th and 68th minutes, and he will definitely be praised by Di Matteo after the game.In addition, Bertrand also became the first player to make his Champions League debut in the final and will surely be remembered by history.

In addition, due to the suspension of the main right back Ivanovic, Bosingwa has become the main right gate again, and the area he guards has always been jittery.

Less than 8 minutes into the game, Di Matteo on the sidelines saw that Bosingwa's defense was a little difficult, and shouted at him twice in a row, reminding him to pay attention to guard Ribery.

And that's it, Ribery leaned on his back in the 21st minute and missed the ball to Robben who slipped past him, creating a chance to face the goal. Fortunately, Cech blocked it with his legs.In the 32nd minute, when he was defending Franck Ribery, he directly kicked him down from behind, but fortunately the referee was merciful.As for Kalou, who won the starting right midfielder, he almost did nothing in the game. The only chance to be on camera was wasting an excellent shot in the penalty area in the penalty area in the 37th minute, which made the calm Di Matteo scratch his head. , The performance is far inferior to Torres who replaced him.

Many years later, we can still clearly recall that gloomy and rainy night in Moscow. Terry, who held the key to the lore, slipped and fell unbelievably, ruining Chelsea, which was sure of winning.

Terry at the time was 28 years old, and Lampard and Drogba at the time had just entered the 30-year-old mark. Four years of waiting, although the veterans are still mighty, can still bring joy to Stamford Bridge fans, but the passage of time , In fact, they have developed too much vigor and combat power. Chelsea's league record this year is proof, but the Champions League is still a paradise for old guys. Among the players who participated in the final match in Moscow, 9 people entered today's competition There is a big roster with 6 starting players. The only players under the age of 30 are Kalou in 85 and Mikel in 87. The others are already established. Large-scale personnel rotation in the club is imperative.

But it is such an old boys club that brought the greatest shock and joy to the fans tonight!

The previous Champions League 16-to-8 game reversed Naples, which was the most unexpected gift from the three elders to the fans. Drogba, Terry and Lampard, together, the three old guns who are 100 years old, scored three golden goals, Greetings to all blue blood fans: the fighting spirit is still there, the spirit is always there, and the ability is not diminished!In the two battles against Barcelona, ​​it was still the core force composed of these old guys. They withstood the "cosmic team" for two rounds, which meant that they played wherever they wanted!

Today, although Terry can only watch the game from the sidelines, the team spirit conveys his strength in the dark. Although Lampard is suppressed and cannot play in the frontcourt at all, his defense is as effective as it was against Barcelona , although Drogba's header was the only one in the audience, it was a world wave that was enough to turn things around! The 30-year-old Cech, the 32-year-old Acor, etc., continue to fight when they come, and when they fight, they must have a "constant" performance of bravery.

This is the extraordinary strength of the "old guy", on and off the field.Maybe they can't give you astonishingly brilliant statistics throughout the season as they did in the past, but they can completely turn the disadvantages into one by relying on their solid foundation, stable performance and consistent belief in a game with great pressure. own advantage.

Just like the performance of Lampard and Drogba in the penalty shootout, either bravely shot or deftly pushed, the once brave Neuer was completely at a loss.

Who said that penalty kicks are not a manifestation of strength?

With a bold and tricky shot, the man who is about to turn 35 has performed better than a bunch of younger boys!And when you saw Didier Drogba run wildly in tears after winning the championship, Lampard and Terry lifted the Champions Cup that was so close to them but so far away at the same time, did you ever have the urge to cry ? !

9 years!Dream come true! Where were you and what were you doing when Abramovich first arrived 9 years ago?

Time flies by like this, but the blue-bloods' pursuit of honor never stops.In a different time and space, in a different state of mind, when you think back to the group of Chelsea people who were young at the time, and compared to the veterans who are persistent and have a long-cherished wish, you will sincerely shout: We are willing to accompany you to chase your dreams and grow old!

Once upon a time, Lampard, Terry, and Joe Cole were so green and full of cuteness. Almost all of them became famous when they were young. Relying on their talents and talents, they entered the top league without pressure and gained a foothold.However, in a wealthy club, it is impossible to hold the top salary of a professional football player without any pressure. The championship is the goal they must rush to, but although they have won so many championships for Chelsea, the only thing they lack is the Champions League. big ear cup.

Counting from the 2003 season when Abramovich took over, Chelsea stopped in the semi-finals in the 0304 season, the semi-finals in the 0405 season, the top 0506 in the 16 season, the semi-finals in the 0607 season, the finals in the 0708 season, and the semi-finals for the fourth time in the 0809 season. The 0910 season stopped at the top 16, and the 1011 season stopped at the top 8. So many stops and stops. In countless disappointments, Drogba's total goals in the Champions League can reach the top ten in the rankings, but he really belongs to his championship. The ball never came.

Not to mention that athletes who once looked so romantic have become vicissitudes. Abramovich, who was once so full of ambition and in full bloom, has signs of aging.

Well, there is no regret here, no matter where Drogba, Lampard, or other veterans end up next, they have completed the ultimate mission entrusted to them by the Chelsea club.

Just like Didier Drogba applauded with deep meaning after the last game of the league, these lovely and respectable veterans can smile contentedly, full of pride and satisfaction in their hearts, whistle and laugh with those around them The back of the passing youth rubbed shoulders, and set off alone for the next destination of hard work.After all, after the end of their professional football career, their life journey has only gone a little bit.

All the regrets and depressions were released tonight, and the veteran's silent perseverance and dedication finally won the highest honor of engraving the words of Chelsea Club on the championship trophy.What better and more realistic inspirational teaching material than this?What they performed vividly was originally just the plot outlined in Hollywood movies: at the last moment of their professional life, they bloomed with the most brilliant sparks!
