Chapter 624: Happiness and Sorrow

Beckenbauer, whose hair was already gray, took down the frame of the glass, sat back in his seat with some weakness, and did not speak for a long time.

I don't know why, he always thinks about the end of Real Madrid.

1:2 at home, especially at Manchester United's home stadium, is there really any hope?

He had to think so.

Historically, with such a home score, the chance of a comeback is less than 18% when he goes to play away games, and he doesn't think Bayern Munich has such good luck, especially the strength of this Manchester United team is beyond his thinking.

But that's just his personal thoughts, he can't put this depression into his mind, manager Heathfield is an old friend, he's done quite well, he doesn't know what else needs to change in this team.

Bang Bang Bang,

In the distance, in the stands opposite, he stared silently for several seconds.

What, the fight started?

Yes, it seemed that the Bayern Munich fans were fighting with the Manchester United fans, and then the on-site security intervened, and the scene became very chaotic in an instant......

It's terrible!

He sighed again, turned around and walked out of the rostrum indifferently.

What can he do about this kind of thing?

Beckenbauer is leaving, but the stadium is still in turmoil, how can the weak Manchester United fans be opponents? The security guards couldn't deal with so many Bayern fans, and in the end they could only surround more than 200 Manchester United fans and escort them out, saying that they were escorts, but in the end they were all arrested......

At the press conference, as Ferguson was talking about the game, a tragedy soon followed.

A policeman was killed, and it was a Bayern fan who did it!

Tragic!

Ferguson immediately turned cold and ended the press conference, because all the glory seemed meaningless in front of a dead person. Originally, he wanted to talk about the referee's decision at the press conference, but now it seems that there is no point in dwelling on this......

※※※※

"It's crazy,"

"I didn't expect something like this to happen in Germany."

The news of the police being killed soon spread to the dressing room, and Ronaldo and they began to talk about it.

"I thought that such an accident would only happen in poor countries, but I didn't expect it." Wayne Rooney joined the discussion.

"But our country's fans go to other places to watch football games, really have to be careful, foreign media have reported British football hooligans, always smearing our fan image, in fact, there are not many such guys in their country?" For the first time, Rooney analyzed the problem rationally, and this guy himself was like a rogue leader, and now he has become a little impressive.

"There will be football hooligans everywhere, not that developed countries are quiet, in fact, they are all full of food and have nothing to do. Excessive fanaticism, there will always be extreme ......" Dong Fangzhuo is more rational, "I heard that there are still many Manchester United fans who have been arrested, I don't know what to do, I guess it's a fine, specially, every time the Champions League knockout game always happens a little scary, it's better to stay safe at home." ”

Manchester United rushed back to Manchester overnight, and as for those Manchester United fans, I heard that in the end, the Munich Police Department only arrested 18 fans, and the others were released directly.

Of course, these fans are all die-hard Manchester United fans, and Manchester United officials immediately issued a statement.

The statement called the Bayern Munich fans' move "seriously excessive". The statement said: "The club warmly welcomes the government's investigation into this matter and we will also collect evidence from the fans present and hand it over to the Home Office." ”

The statement added: "The constant beating of Manchester United fans by Bayern Munich fans has shocked everyone at Old Trafford. ”

The Home Office has confirmed that they will gather information from all relevant sources before deciding whether to engage with UEFA about it.

However, the reaction from the German side was different, and the president of the German Football Association stood up and sarcastically said: "If the Manchester United fans don't act too aggressively before the game, Bayern fans will do the same after the game?" How innocent the dead policeman was! ”

Before the game, there were indeed a lot of things going on, Bayern and Manchester United were aware of the tension before the game, and both put forward some suggestions to avoid conflicts, such as Manchester United repeatedly warned fans to avoid places where Bayern fans like to gather. However, an extremist fan group at Bayern still issued statements before the game that it was going to attack Manchester United fans, which made the game dark before the game.

Before the game, there was a fierce "street battle" between fans on both sides. According to witnesses at the time, there were about 300 United fans at the time, and many of them were clearly drunk. And the number of Bayern fans involved in the brawl was much higher. However, it is unclear exactly what caused the brawl.

A number of United fans were injured in the brawl, including one with serious neck injuries, and the fan was rushed to hospital after the police calmed the situation down a bit, although he is still out of danger and still struggling on the death line.

From this, it is not difficult to imagine another conflict after the game......

Dong Fangzhuo felt that this matter was not a simple matter, he took the initiative to contact Manchester United TV and did an interview, in the interview, Dong Fangzhuo called on fans to be rational and protect themselves when they went to watch the game away......

While the clashes and deaths made United's victory look a bit heavy, the English media went on a frantic basis to cover the Champions Cup the following day.

The Times directly compared the two games played last night, "In London, Arsenal lost completely, they not only did not win AC Milan at home, but lost 2-3 at the stadium, last year's Champions League runners-up look like they are going to say goodbye to the Champions Cup in advance, poor defense is the reason why Wenger has not been able to lead his team to the last four, if they go to the San Siro, they will not have any hope." ”

"At the Allianz Arena in Munich, Manchester United once again played a stunning finish, after conquering the Camp Nou and the Bernabeu, they conquered the Allianz Arena, although the game was very difficult and the referee misjudged a goal, but United still left with a victory, and now they can wait for Bayern Munich at home, as long as the referee's mediocrity does not return, United have actually stepped into the threshold of the semi-finals."

"Of course, we also want to be the deceased policeman in Munich, whose sacrifice protected Manchester United fans, and we urge England fans to exercise restraint when they go abroad to watch football, stay away from the opposing fans, and never let the tragedy happen again."

"The Times" is not optimistic about Wenger's team at all, although Wenger led Arsenal to the Champions Cup runner-up last year, but Wenger's team is disappointing year by year, and this year's Arsenal has not played well in either the league or the cup.

"The Times" is optimistic about Chelsea that night, believing that Chelsea can go further in the Champions Cup, "Chelsea is basically hopeless to win the league title, they will definitely beat Inter Milan in the Champions Cup, as for Liverpool, they may not really be able to beat Barcelona because they are not Manchester United." ”

The Times' prophecy came true that night, with Liverpool being held to a draw at home to Barcelona and Chelsea winning Inter Milan on the road. In the Premier League BIG4, two teams playing away from home won, and two teams playing at home did not, such a result is simply too unexpected......

※※※※

The two legs of the Champions Cup quarter-finals are played very closely, unlike the quarter-finals, which have a two-week gap, and the quarter-finals are only spaced by one week. In other words, after playing Portsmouth away at the weekend, Manchester United will play the second leg at home to Bayern Munich in midweek.

As a result, Ferguson made a big rotation in the squad when he played Portsmouth away at the weekend, with only four players starting in the Champions League in midweek: Brown, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Luka Modric. Brown's starting point is mainly that there is no replacement at right-back, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand must be a problem of defensive stability, as for Modric, this is the brain of the midfield, and Ferguson does not want to replace him.

Manchester United's front trident also did not make an appearance, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League, did not even make the squad.

But the game was nowhere near as simple as Ferguson had imagined, with United's substitutes not surprising Ferguson once the game began.

Although there were as many as 10 shots on goal in the whole first half, there was no one to threaten Portsmouth's goal, and after fifteen minutes of the second half, Ferguson finally pushed Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo up, but at this time it was raining heavily, and the poor field made it difficult for Manchester United players, and at the last moment, Portsmouth players actually stabbed the ball into the Manchester United goal in a scuffle.

Manchester United actually lost in an upset! 0:1, bad weather, bad results, bad day!

On the other hand, Chelsea won 1-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur thanks to a long-range strike from centre-back Carvalho, which naturally narrowed the gap with Manchester United to three points.

Of course, it's actually 3.5 points, as Manchester United's huge goal advantage is unmatched by Chelsea. So even if it's the same score, Manchester United is still the champion, so 3.5 points is very reasonable.

'It means we just have to win at home and wait for them to make another mistake and we can take back the league initiative.' Mourinho naturally sees hope of winning the league again.

"I hope Manchester United will have a little more trouble before the penultimate round of the showdown......
