Chapter 630: Dog Eats Dog (Waiver only, ask for a monthly pass)
'It's a great chance for us to get revenge, we lost to them in the group stage and we have to win it back in the semi-finals.' In an interview with Catalan TV, Messi showed extreme eagerness.
"I don't think they're really strong enough to beat them."
After the strong rise of Barcelona, Messi has a lot more confidence in speaking.
Speaking about Dong Fangzhuo, Messi said: "He is very strong, but the strongest players are in Barcelona. The rest of Manchester United's players are also strong, but none of them are as good as Barcelona's players, and we have no reason to lose the third or fourth game. I wish they were coming to Camp Nou now! ”
'We have the technical ability and the ability to control the ball is outstanding. When the opposition wanted to play fast and speed up the game, Barcelona were able to defuse it with possession, and we were able to try to slow down the pace of the game and drag the game into our own pace. ”
Crazy!
In the face of Messi's words, the captain of Manchester United, who is far away in England, replied like this: "I only know that in the Champions League scorer list, I am ranked first, Kaka is second, and Ronaldo is third. ”
"This season we won against Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich."
'We'll go to Camp Nou, but not now, we're thinking about the FA Cup now, Manchester United have a tradition of capsizing in the FA Cup gutter, so the lord has put us all on the pitch, Watford the day after tomorrow, we have to go to the final, and then, maybe Chelsea.'
"Why not Liverpool?"
"Liverpool? Because they can't even win against Barcelona, I'm more confident that Chelsea will make it to the final. ”
Dong Fangzhuo's words are that Chi Guoguo is not optimistic that Liverpool will be able to reach the final in the other semi-final, compared with Liverpool, Chelsea is more resilient, and a resilient team can go far.
Meanwhile, England's annual prize is here.
The Professional Footballers Association (PFA) has announced the nominations for Player of the Year and includes seven of the Premier League's biggest stars: Didier Drogba (Chelsea), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) and Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), as well as four Manchester United players, Luka Modric, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo.
The award's all-time honours are engraved with a number of dazzling names, including Thierry Henry in 2003 and 2004 and Terry in 2005, as well as the FA's Rookie of the Year nominations, including Kevin Doyle (Reading), Aaron Lennon (Tottenham), Mikach Richards (Manchester City), Sesc Fabregas (Arsenal), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United). Dong Fangzhuo won this award last season.
The award is voted for by all four levels of professional football in England, with the winner to be announced this Sunday.
William Hill Company not only put Dong Fangzhuo in the first place, but also adjusted to the lowest water level, it can be said that there is almost no suspense about Dong Fangzhuo's election.
"Man, you're going to get a prize."
Before the start of the game against Watford, Ronaldo spoke to Dong Fangzhuo in the dressing room.
"What award?"
"Player of the Year, don't you know?" Ronaldo was surprised, and said to himself, doesn't this guy care about football.
"Well, I just remembered, but I didn't care much. I want to win the quadruple now, that's what I care about. With team honors, individual honors come naturally. ”
"Why not the five crowns? The Community Shield counts as well. "Speaking of the championship, Ronaldo's eyes also lit up, five crowns, what an honor, in 1999 Manchester United won the treble, in 2007, can Manchester United win five crowns?
Five crowns!
It wasn't just Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo's eyes that lit up, but the other teammates in the locker room were moved at the same time when they heard the word 'five crowns'.
"Yes, guys, Cristiano is right, we're going to win the five crowns this season," Dong Fangzhuo said, waving his fist, "Now, let's go and get rid of Watford first, we're going to the final and waiting for our opponents." ”
"Five crowns!"
"Five crowns!"
"Five crowns!"
United's home dressing room suddenly soared.
Ferguson had just walked in, and he happened to see this passionate scene, and he thought to himself, it doesn't look like he needs to say anything, everyone knows what our goal is, and these guys are really maturing.
His old face burst out laughing.
And the result proved his point, with Manchester United beating Watford 4-1. Dong Fangzhuo scored twice, Ronaldo and Rooney scored a goal each, and the trident went crazy at the same time again.
Watford's desire to reach the final is a fool's dream.
To the surprise of the Manchester United players, the semi-final between Chelsea and Liverpool went to extra-time, with Chelsea having the last laugh.
The FA Cup final will be Manchester United vs Chelsea!
The Reds are on all three fronts, three points clear of Chelsea in the Premier League, a 7-1 win over Bayern Munich in the FA Cup to reach the final against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
Magnificent!
Even Cruyff, who was far away in Barcelona, jumped out to comment a few words, as a football celebrity, although Cruyff's mouth is vicious, he does not underestimate Manchester United like Messi.
Cruyff, the representative of Dutch football and the "godfather" of Barcelona, was invited by the Spanish newspaper "Vanguard" to write a column to analyze the recent situation in European football.
"Now we're in the final phase of the season, which is where the championship is decided. Regardless of who wins the title, there are three European teams that deserve our praise: Manchester United, Chelsea and Sevilla. Either of them could win all the championships or nothing, but for me it's secondary. From what I know about football, the fact that they still have a chance to win three titles heading into April is beyond reproach for them. And then one, two, three titles, or none at all, but I'm going to congratulate those three teams now, anyway. ”
'But if I had to choose a team that could be successful, then I would choose Manchester United.'
"Manchester United played football that resembled the Dutch 'all-attack, all-defending' style of play in all years, and Ferguson's side played a similar flavor to the orange team back then. ”
Cruyff watched Manchester United's 7-1 win over Bayern Munich and felt a little incredible.
"I sat on the edge of my chair all the time, I never sat still, and it was a bit of a suffocating game for Manchester United to play with one kick and all the ball in attack. They played a pleasing attacking game and are now favourites to win the Champions League. ”
"Now the question is, can Barcelona win Manchester United at home? Considering the previous two head-to-head records, I think Barcelona will have to play the football of the Barcelona philosophy if they want to beat Manchester United at home, Manchester United can do 'all in attack', why can't Barcelona? ”
"The players in our team, almost everyone is more talented than Manchester United's players, that is, the most talented Chinese Dong, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, I don't think they can compare to Ronaldinho, Messi and Iniesta, so the question is, why do we still lose to them?"
"It's all about attitude."
"Rijkaard has also been unable to control the Barcelona dressing room, so Barcelona's results have been very bleak this season."
Rijkaard was very upset, Cruyff jumped out at this time to accuse the Barcelona players and what did he mean? Adding fuel to the fire?
"Cruyff has the right to speak, but there is no such thing as attitude with our players, everyone is dedicated and fighting for the final title, and he will regret what he said."
'Everyone has a lot of respect for me, the dressing room is harmonious, it's nowhere near as bad as he says.
And the reaction of some Barcelona fans was even more extreme.
"Has Cruyff become a Manchester United? He was supposed to go to live at Manchester United, to publish his opinion in the newspapers of England, and he forgot that he was from Barcelona. ”
"Manchester United are so good, what are you doing in Barcelona?"
Just as the Barcelona were in the midst of a civil war, Dong attended the England Awards of the Year over the weekend......
