Chapter 484

Manchester United captured the Bernabeu, and the English media was jubilant.

"The Times": Manchester United defeated Real Madrid 1-0 away in the Champions League quarter-finals and took the lead in the two-legged competition. David Beckham scored the winning goal for the team.In the final stage of the game, the home team was on the verge of collapse under the attack of the Premier League champions. In addition to David's free kick, Manchester United also had two shots hitting the crossbar and goal post.I believe that after returning to the home court, the defending champion can fully expand its advantage and advance to the next round.

"The Sun": Double player David Beckham scored the winning goal at the last moment in the first round of the just-concluded Champions League quarter-finals. The way of scoring is still his good free kick.It is worth noting that Savio, who was facing him, was replaced early due to physical exhaustion in less than 80 minutes.With David's presence, Manchester United's right flank has an overwhelming advantage against all opponents.

Other national media also cheered in unison for the teams participating in Europe.In addition to Manchester United conquering Real Madrid's home court, Chelsea also defeated Barcelona, ​​which had won consecutive victories in the group stage, 3-1 at home, and the mood of the media was jubilant.According to the current development trend, the media have begun to imagine the grand occasion of the Premier League duo meeting in the final.

The media also mentioned that Arsenal, which only finished third in the group in the first stage, fell into the Europa League, which may not be a bad thing for the Premier League's European points.This club, which is recognized as second only to Manchester United in the Premier League, falls into the Europa League, which has relatively low competition, which is basically equal to a dimensionality reduction blow.

If the Premier League team can secure the championship of the two competitions, the European points this season will far exceed other opponents. Coupled with the excellent performances of Manchester United and Arsenal last season, the Premier League is very likely to surpass Serie A within five years and become the top five European leagues.

Everyone believes that according to UEFA's current competition system and development trend, the Premier League will surely surpass Serie A and La Liga in a few years, and enjoy the biggest dividend of European football development.

How many teams the Premier League can have in the two major European competitions depends on the results of the clubs participating in the European competition. Coupled with the fact that the European competition is unanimous, English footballers can temporarily put aside old grievances and speak for their own league.

BBC host Alan Hansen also sided with Manchester United in the replay: "Many Manchester United players were not in good condition in the first half. Some of them respected Real Madrid's history too much. They just wasted this time in vain. Precious 45 minutes. If they fail to advance to the semi-finals, then these 45 minutes will probably be their biggest failure in the match between the two sides.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis.Judging from the alignment of players on both sides, Manchester United beat their opponents in midfield.Real Madrid can only rely on Raul alone in the frontcourt when the scene is passive, but the young striker's personal ability is not suitable for handling this work in such an important game. He is just a shooter, and his partner Morientes can't play a role at all at this time. "

Then he played a few videos of Manchester United in a defensive position. In the screen, Beckham, Giggs and Yorke were all able to pass the ball to the frontcourt and successfully defuse the opponent's offensive.

"Manchester United failed to seize the opportunity when the opponent's mentality was on the verge of collapse, which also left hidden dangers for the second round. Although Real Madrid was a little embarrassed at the last moment, they only lost one goal at home. This is not an irreparable gap.

There will be different developments in each game. We have noticed that the referee's penalty has always been clearly biased towards the home team.

Of course, in the midst of 7 fans at the Bernabéu, such a situation is inevitable.

But if the referee does not favor the home team at Old Trafford, or even favors Real Madrid, how Manchester United will respond will become a big problem, and a 1-goal lead is not safe. "

Alan Hansen's words caused ridicule from Manchester United fans. Everyone thought that the former Liverpool player could not eat grapes, saying that grapes were sour.The show didn't care about the ratings, and dared to say anything, for fear that no one would watch it.

Beckham watched the whole program. He felt that Alan Hansen had no problem with the replay of the game. After all, this guy had been in the commentary industry for many years, and he ate like this. He basically showed the whole picture of the game.

As for the second half, it cannot be said that it is completely unreasonable.

The biggest selling point of sports such as football is the competition for hegemony. If a club dominates the championship for a long time, it is actually a kind of harm to a sport.

After the full commercialization of football, games like the Champions League are actually a commodity.Only when more and more viewers watch the game will TV stations buy broadcast rights.

The larger the group watching the game, the more commercial brand sponsorship it will attract.

If Manchester United takes the biggest cake every year, and other European giants simply deal with it when they encounter them, then the Champions League brand will be smashed.

After getting in touch with capital predators like Murdoch Sr. and Anschutz, Beckham also gradually learned about the thinking patterns of these groups.

Events like the Champions League certainly focus on fairness, but fairness is only relative, and the most important thing is the excitement of the event.

In the eyes of the high-level designers of these events, evenly matched confrontations and confusing situations are the biggest selling points of the games.

Football has only been commercialized for more than ten years. Maybe everyone is afraid of cultivating a giant with a big tail and breaking the balance of the entire project. This will do more harm than good to the overall development of the project.

As an upstart among the European giants, Manchester United's influence in football is increasing day by day, especially in the transfer market.

Many players say "I want to be faithful to the current contract and give everything for the club I play for" every day, but Manchester United is very honest after releasing the information.

Andriy Shevchenko is the best example. This kid was destined to be with AC Milan 800 years ago. As a result, he met Beckham sincerely once when exchanging jerseys, and kissed the Manchester United team badge when he turned around.

According to everyone's assumptions, the current Manchester United team is just the embryonic form of the future overlord. Given time, they will cultivate a "Class 02" mixed lineup of monsters from various countries, and they will dominate for another ten years in the future. Who can bear this.

Beckham doesn't care what the big men at the top think, and he doesn't have that much influence. The only thing he can do now is to give everything to the extreme.

Speaking of influence, his "transfer market" has been freshly released, and it has now entered the testing phase. Los Angeles Galaxy and Manchester United season ticket fans can log in through their identity information, and they are already on the road to becoming the overlord of football websites.

According to Musk’s practical experience over the years, there are only two paths for this website to take in the future. The first is to produce a set of beautiful data, and then wait for the acquisition of capital tycoons and become part of their capital empire. The online payment system he fiddled with is this path.

The second way is to go public. Beckham thinks that "returning to the market" should take this way and let him become his own asset.

Of course, there is no way to think so far now. The first step now is to make the website well, at least to win the competition, and to become the head of a football website is valuable.

Beckham left things to Musk and put all his energies on football.

This year is very important to him. The Champions League has ushered in the most intense schedule, and there will be the European Cup at the end of the season.

2000 was the most important year for him. He missed the World Series once less. No one knows how many times this level of competition can be played in a lifetime, so he cherishes it very much.

At the end of every day's training, he will still stay on the court to continue training. Time has not let him slack off in the slightest.

He knows very well that his career is about to usher in a golden period, and these few years are precious to every professional player.

If you want to enjoy life, there are opportunities at the end of your career.

Now is the prime time to make a career. If you want to match your achievements with fame, you must have works.

Every World Series is the best opportunity for everyone to write history and leave their footprints.

No matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, he will give his all, just like when he was 20 years old.

Desperate, forget everything.

The second round between Manchester United and Real Madrid will be held on April 4. Before that, the team still has two league games.

On April 4, Manchester United, who played in a rotation lineup, defeated Middlesbrough 11-4 away.

Middlesbrough, who had no desires, played against Manchester United. The two teams contributed 7 goals in total. Manchester United locked the victory with Yorke at the last moment.

With the last 5 rounds left in the league, Manchester United leads the second-ranked Arsenal by 15 points, and they only need one more point to win the league championship.

Leeds United, Liverpool and Chelsea have already fought for the last Champions League qualification. Leeds United, which is still at the top of the standings for more than half of the league, has fallen behind. Their only goal is to get the top three in the league and get the last Champions League spot.

In the 34th round, Manchester United met Sunderland at home. As long as they draw, they can create a record of 5 consecutive Premier League titles.

Before the game, the head coach put Robben on the bench. If all goes well, this guy who is not yet 16 years old will represent Manchester United in the league for the first time.

In the 15th minute, Keane made a steal in the midfield. He passed the ball to Beckham immediately. The heartthrob took the ball and then transferred it to Giggs. The Welsh winger cut inward along the penalty area line, and then passed the ball into the penalty area.

Almost all Manchester United fans raised their arms high, the goal came at the right time.

Sunderland then launched a counterattack, but the formation was too forward and the goal was missed again.

In the second half, Manchester United, which had a 2-goal advantage, played more easily. Sunderland, who was at a loss, made mistakes in defense. The goalkeeper's throw was directly intercepted by Beckham.

Beckham adjusted and immediately passed the ball to the middle, and Shevchenko, who was unmarked, easily pushed and scored.

3 is better than 0!

Seeing that Manchester United's victory has been decided, the old craftsman responsible for engraving the trophy has already put on his reading glasses and is immersed in his work.

In the 76th minute, Robben was already standing on the sidelines, jumping on the spot with excitement on his face. The smiling Ferguson told him the precautions while chewing gum.

The fans in the stands stood up collectively and applauded Ryan Giggs and Robben who was about to play.

"Today is Arjan's first appearance in the league on behalf of Manchester United. Let us bless this young man with warm applause!"

In the applause, Giggs smiled and high-fived Robben, then hugged.

Giggs touched Robben's head and was knocked off.

Um?If you don't let me touch it, I will touch it!

Giggs caught Robben and continued to touch him, but he was ruthlessly rejected. Master Wales quickly grabbed Robben who was about to flee, and rubbed the opponent's head, so angry that Robben glared and almost burst into tears.

Seeing this scene, everyone didn't understand why, they just thought this child was a bit weird.

In everyone's impression, Robben, who should have been at a loss, exploded after his appearance, as if the Sunderland players had a grudge against him.

Unlike Ryan Giggs' body feint, Robben's foot is like a suction cup, and the football keeps sticking to his foot.

The Sunderland defender made a horrible violent charge. Robben pushed the ball forward, his body flashed from the side, and the ball was controlled and slammed into the penalty area. The defender who hit him fell and slid on the ground. out two meters.

Sunderland's central defender over 1 meters hurriedly defended. He covered Robben with his body in the penalty area to restrict his movement.

Robben then performed in front of 5 Old Trafford fans a series of starts, brakes, and the ball rolled from the goalkeeper's armpit into the net after the centre-back fell.

Seeing Robben's performance, all the fans in the audience were crazy. A guy under 15 years old is so fierce!You must know that Giggs was only 17 years old before gaining a foothold in the first team.

4 to 0, this goal directly caused a problem with the mentality of the Sunderland players. They had no hatred with Robben before, but now they have.

In the subsequent game, Sunderland's right-back caught Robben's dislike of passing the ball and educated the kid severely, but he paid the price of two yellow cards, which simply added luster to Peter Pan's first game.

The celebration ceremony after the game was still the same, but everyone laughed happily. Irvine won 7 league championships in his career, but this time he still cried.

He didn't know if he would be able to last another season when he came back next season. The bad guy Bart said that he should have retired a long time ago, which made the other party emotionally messy.

Red and white balloons flew into the sky behind the podium as Keane lifted the trophy aloft.

It was originally blue and white, but Manchester United negotiated with the competition organizing committee. Anyway, Manchester United won the championship every time. Red and white are so good. Light blue is the color of Manchester City.

The celebration ceremony is the same every year, but every year has different joys.

Back home, Beckham told Old John about Robben's refusal to touch his head, and laughed out loud after getting the correct answer.

I didn't expect this kid to be able to reflect sunlight after the age of 20. He should take advantage of his hair and quickly solve the lifelong problem in advance.
