Chapter 119: Rotation

It seems to be the most exciting in the history of the Champions League.

The seven superstars of the Real Madrid Galaxy battleship gathered, Xiao Luo led the revival of Barcelona's dream two, Mourinho entered Chelsea to start the pace of giants, Arsenal 49 games unbeaten afterglow, Juventus is unbeatable, Milan is in full swing (in fact, the strongest Milan under Ancelotti is not 0203, nor is it 0607 later, but this year, they just lost to the sky), although Manchester United is still rebuilding, but Lyon, Leverkusen and other giants are also forces that cannot be ignored.

The formation of the top four of the Premier League opened the prelude to the Champions League and the Premier League in the following years, La Liga is not far behind, the final climax before the Serie A phone door, the three teams of the Bundesliga small glory entered the round of 16, Eindhoven represented the Eredivisie to achieve the best results in the Champions League in the past two decades, and then the Eredivisie slumped and declined repeatedly.

Therefore, except for Manchester United VSAC Milan, the signing luck of other Premier League teams is not necessarily much better.

Before the draw came out, the English media ridiculed Manchester United, thinking that Manchester United would draw a sign no matter what, but after the draw results came out, the English media also began to mourn for other teams.

Arsenal VS Bayern Munich, no matter how you look at it, Bayern Munich is stronger than Arsenal, and Arsenal also drew an unexpected team. It seems that since the beginning of this season, Arsenal has begun an indissoluble bond with Bayern Munich and Barcelona, anyway, every time the Champions League knockout round, it is either Bayern Munich or Barcelona, and the reputation of the Champions League Sixteen Lang is more resounding than Real Madrid.

Chelsea, on the other hand, drew another opponent, Barcelona, who have the reigning champions of the Champions League of World Footballer of the Year Ronaldinho. Chelsea's future does not look good, with Jose Mourinho looking to be in the dark in the Premier League but they seem to have no hope of winning against Barcelona.

As for Liverpool, they drew Bayer Leverkusen, who beat Real Madrid 3:0 in the group stage, and this Leverkusen team is not easy to mess with.

So much so that as soon as the draw results came out, the English media exclaimed that the Premier League teams may be about to fall en masse. The most underestimated is still Manchester United, because in the past two seasons, Manchester United has been too unstable, and in the face of the powerful Milan, Manchester United really can't find a reason to win.

It's a bad feeling to be underestimated, especially for a club like Manchester United.

For Dong Fangzhuo, knowing the result of the game in advance is a great pain and sorrow, he clearly remembers that Manchester United lost 0:1 at home and away, lost without a temper, and the powerful Milan did not give Manchester United a chance at all.

Although Arsenal had previously walked sideways in the Premier League, they were also lying under the iron rider of Bayern Munich.

Instead, Chelsea and Liverpool won their opponents.

Of course, this is all in the previous life, it may not happen in this life, maybe fate will change, just like in the league, Dong Fangzhuo replaced Rooney to defeat the invincible Arsenal.

But Manchester United still can't escape the media bombardment, because they lost away games in the Champions League, so many people are not optimistic about Manchester United's performance in the league against Fulham.

Manchester United's away games have been inconsistent this season and can be highly variable regardless of who the opponent is.

'Away at Fulham, the most likely thing for United is to get a draw or lose the game. When Alex Ferguson doesn't find a reasonable starting line-up, United will continue to be as inconsistent as they did in the Champions League. “

Ferguson did have a headache up front, and the defeat away from home in the Champions League made him negate a lot of previous ideas.

The trident of Dong Fangzhuo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney did not bring victory to the team, and the introduction of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saha did not change the outcome of the match.

This increased the pressure on him.

The coaching staff gave Alex Ferguson a report and asked him to take a fresh look at United's strikers.

Manchester United's biggest killers have detailed accounts.

One of them mentioned that Ruud van Nistelrooy has been inconsistent in the league, but when he scores, he often acts as a corkscrew for the team, can score early for the team, and has been as consistent in the Champions League as ever.

As for Wayne Rooney, the report given by the coaching staff is that although the goals are inconsistent and he often loses his shooting boots, Rooney's role in the game is quite huge, and Rooney, who can pass suddenly, is the first choice for Manchester United's forward line.

Saha - Saha's lack of playing time has made his form more erratic, and of course, more importantly, Saha's self-confidence has not been built up, and more minutes should be given.

Dong Fangzhuo, a player in the team who is second only to Keane in his fighting will, can provide great help to the team no matter when the team is behind or ahead, but he lacks personal technical characteristics, and it is difficult for him to become a front line.

Conclusion: We should take a rotational approach and keep every striker in shape. Allocate the playing time of each player in the League Cup, Champions League and FA Cup.

Ferguson read the coaching staff's report and nodded seriously, as if he also found himself on the same path as the previous two seasons.

Stubbornness makes people ignore a lot of objective facts, just like he has been trying to give Fran too many opportunities who have left the love song court, but he has not put Fran on the right track.

I don't seem to have a reason to keep Ruud van Nistelrooy on the bench, and while Dong's ability has been improving, it's unfair to Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Ferguson is thinking to himself that rotation seems to be the best option.

His heart was shaken, and when the Champions League was drawn to Milan, he began to miss Ruud van Nistelrooy, after all, in the Champions League, he is still a veteran who is more trustworthy, not to mention that Ruud van Nistelrooy is now the top scorer in the Champions League.

Coupled with the start of the Christmas schedule, Manchester United will play almost every three days in the next month and a half, and rotation is very necessary.

Not only the forward line, but also the central and backfield will be stretched, especially in the midfield, with Keane still unable to return, he does not have many players to rotate in the midfield, and Manchester United feel a bit top-heavy.

As a result, when we traveled to Fulham, Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to the starting line-up alongside Wayne Rooney, while Dong Fangzhuo and Saha were on the bench.

"It's definitely not a good thing for the old man to repeat it like this."

When he saw the starting lineup, Ronaldo whispered.

"That guy is so psychopathic now, how can he possibly score a goal?"

Ronaldo is not optimistic about such an arrangement at all, of course, he is thinking from Dong Fangzhuo's point of view, but Vanney is not good, Dong Fangzhuo may not be able to, and no one can guarantee that he will be able to score in the game......

'I bet he won't score.'

"Such a bet, okay?"
