"Yes, Frank Ribery, who played in the lower leagues of France, became the French Footballer of the Year. Cristiano Ronaldo, who only made his mark in the Portuguese League, has become the European Footballer of the Year and was almost eliminated by Southampton. Gareth Bale, who was rejected, is now the youngest international player and goal scorer in the history of Wales Of course, we can't help but mention Esteban Cambiaso. Who can think of him today? What if he was ordered to leave the training field early because he was thin and could not meet the requirements of the head coach in training? Now Cambiaso is the best runner at Manchester United. He is a player who can cover the entire football field. As a person, his performance in today¡¯s game can definitely be scored as a nine!¡±
"Why not ten?" his partner asked.
"Ah, because he is still young and still has enough room for growth. His future is worth looking forward to. When the time comes, I don't want to give him a shocking eleven points."
? These players, like Esteban Cambiaso, gathered around Alex Ferguson and celebrated the victory with him. Who cares about the mood of Barcelona people?
Ferguson didn¡¯t even have a chance to shake hands with Rijkaard. He saw Rijkaard walking away alone from above. He knew that Rijkaard's coaching position was no longer guaranteed, but he did not feel the slightest sadness for Rijkaard. He just looked at Rijkaard's back gradually disappearing into the crowd, and warned himself for the umpteenth time in his heart. : If I lose, he is who I was then.

When Manchester United reached the Champions League final for the fourth consecutive time, the "Manchester United Evening Post" printed the headline "Athens" on their account to show their excitement. This time the "Manchester Evening Post" did not make such a move. The carnival had already started on the night of the game. The league was about to start at the beginning of the next day. It was really not the time to celebrate.
Last night, all the bars in Manchester where Manchester United fans gathered were sold out of beer. A large number of police officers were waiting on the streets and near the bars to guard against disturbances caused by drunken fans. fortunately. In addition to a few small-scale fights, more verbal conflicts were stopped.
Because they are all supporters of the same team, their verbal conflicts are nothing more than who is the biggest contributor to this game. Some people say it is Esteban Cambiaso, others say it is Franck Ribery who scored the goal. Some people say it¡¯s Ferguson, others say it¡¯s the boss of the world¡¯s richest man. But no matter how much they argued, after the sober people came out to smooth things over, everyone laughed, put their arms around each other's shoulders, and drank to each other.
"What's there to argue about? Aren't they all members of our Manchester United team?"

The match against Barcelona was held on the evening of April 29th. Early the next morning, Ferguson took Queiroz to London with him. Keane stayed to supervise the team's training, and the two of them went to Stamford Bridge to observe the opponents in the final. The life and death battle between Manchester United and Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals begins.
Before this game, Chelsea had a slight advantage because they scored a goal away from Liverpool in the first round and tied with Liverpool 1:1.
It¡¯s really unexpected that Grant¡¯s team could reach this point and draw with Liverpool at Anfield. Even Ferguson himself. He must also admit that Chelsea's results were beyond his expectation when Grant came to power.
It is unfair to say that Grant relied on what Mourinho left behind to reach the semi-finals. After this game, Ferguson got to know the man he once despised again.
Chelsea took the lead in the 33rd minute with a direct pass from Lampard. Arbeloa failed to intercept, Kalou passed Hyypia and his shot from 16 yards was saved by Reina. Drogba shot from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area into the near corner. This was his first goal this season. 31 goals scored.
Liverpool equalized the score in the 64th minute. Benayoun cut from the right and passed straight to the middle. Carvalho failed to tackle, and Gerrard shot low into the lower right corner from 12 yards.
Chelsea took the lead again in the 98th minute. Hyypia tackled Ballack on the edge of the penalty area, and Lampard's penalty kick went into the net in one fell swoop. This was his 19th goal of the season. After scoring the goal, Lampard raised his hands in tears and dedicated the goal to his mother who had just passed away.
Chelsea expanded the score in the 105th minute. Malouda made a direct pass. Liverpool failed to prevent offside. Anelka broke into the penalty area and passed back. Drogba pushed the shot from 8 yards into the near corner and scored twice. This was his natural goal. The 15th goal of the season.
Liverpool narrowed the gap in the 117th minute. Alonso passed the ball and Babel shot from 30 yards. Cech made a save and let the ball go into the net. This is his 10th goal this season.
At the end of the 120 minutes of the game, Chelsea eliminated Liverpool and entered the Champions League final for the first time in history.
Arrival at Stamford Bridge StadiumChelsea fans were everywhere cheering and jumping with their arms raised high, and the stands where Ferguson and the others were standing were trembling slightly. Ferguson had no intention of participating in the celebrations of his future foe, and he and Queiroz quietly left.
This result made him slightly disappointed.
In fact, he hopes that Liverpool can defeat Chelsea and enter the Champions League final. After all, the current strength of Liverpool is not comparable to Chelsea at all, at least one level behind. It would be nice to be able to pick a weaker opponent in the final.
Of course, the main reason is that Ferguson hopes to step on his mortal enemy to win the seventh Champions League trophy in the club's history. That is, after he leads Manchester United to completely knock Liverpool off the altar, he then steps on his mortal enemy. That is undoubtedly the happiest enjoyment.
Ferguson has no doubts about whether Manchester United can win the 19th top league title in the club's history before the Champions League final.
Now, Liverpool has been eliminated, and Ferguson¡¯s idea of ??stepping on the corpse of his mortal enemy to celebrate the championship is completely shattered.
"I didn't like Grant from the beginning, and there was a reason" On the way back to Manchester, the old man complained endlessly to Queiroz.
And while Ferguson and Queiroz were complaining, in a luxury box at Stamford Bridge, Jiang Feng was congratulating Abramovich. At the same time, Jiang Feng was also grateful in his heart that history was still moving forward according to its inherent track. In this way, Manchester United's fifth consecutive Champions League title is safe again.
Jiang Feng didn¡¯t know what Ferguson was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t agree with Ferguson¡¯s thoughts. Although Liverpool's strength is worse than Chelsea, as a mortal enemy, Liverpool will definitely try their best in the game. The power they unleash is definitely not inferior to Chelsea, and may even be more difficult than Chelsea, because this is the only team in England. As a club that can be compared with Manchester United, Jiang Feng will not despise it just because it has been in decline in recent years.
From Jiang Feng¡¯s point of view, one should never underestimate a mortal enemy, and when competing against him, one must have a high spirit of 120,000 points.
¡°Moreover, if Liverpool reaches the final, they will definitely fight for the fifth Champions League trophy in the club¡¯s history. This is not good news.
Abramovich was very happy to receive Jiang Feng¡¯s congratulations and invited Jiang Feng to go to Moscow to watch the Champions League final. Of course, Jiang Feng will not refuse this. After all, this game is very important to Manchester United. Moreover, the Champions League final is at the end of May, and Jiang Feng doesn't have much to do at that time.

For Ferguson, disappointment is a disappointment, complaints are complaints, and the game must continue. In the thirty-seventh round of the league, this is likely to be a game for Manchester United to win the 19th top league championship in the club's history. In this game, as long as Manchester United can get a draw, they can win at Old Terrace. Ford Stadium celebrates winning the championship.
Manchester United's home game against West Ham United is the first game of this league. Because a wonderful prospect is in front of us, the morale of all Manchester United players has been inflated to the extreme. Poor West Ham United appeared at the wrong time. Wrong place Of course, for the Manchester United wolves, it was the right opponent at the right place at the right time.
? 4:0, West Ham United had no power to fight back. Manchester United, which had already advanced to the FA Cup final and the Champions League final, did not show any mercy because it only needed a draw to win the championship, and slaughtered the Hammers cleanly.
When the game reached the 90th minute, the referee blew the whistle to end the game without giving a second of stoppage time. He had already seen that the Manchester United people were waiting to celebrate winning the championship, and West Ham United was not interested in playing.
In fact, when the game reached the 75th minute, both sides were just grinding away.
Under such an obvious signal, if the referee still doesn¡¯t know how to play, then his decades of work have been in vain.
After the game, the players of West Ham United evacuated very much. They were unwilling to be the foil for Manchester United's celebration. It felt very bad, even if they had no chance of winning the championship.
¡¡
¡°The Champions League final is on May 21st and the FA Cup final is on May 17th.¡± Ferguson looked at the schedule and then drew a red circle on the corresponding day on the wall calendar.
After finishing this, he threw down the pen, clapped his hands, turned to Queiroz and said: "The last two games of this season are the two games that determine whether we will be heroes or bears."
"It's not that exaggerated, bear"
"That's the truth. There is nothing more shameful in the world than being a double king No, there is." Ferguson suddenly deniedAfter deciding on his own statement, "That is King Sanya, King Siya and King Wuya" He stretched out three, four and five fingers in turn.
Queiroz knew that Ferguson was ready to extend his sixth and seventh fingers, but he did not extend them in the end because Manchester United had already won two championships: the English League Cup and the Premier League. (To be continued)
