"Chelsea."

Ferguson almost wanted to strangle him, just say it or it will be over, and he will talk nonsense.

Chelsea.

This name has been under pressure this season.

Because they sit top of the league table, they have only one defeat so far, while Manchester United are four points away from them.

This team seems to have found their way to survive and no one can beat them.

After their only defeat on penalties to Manchester City, they continued to soar in the league, with Alex Ferguson's Manchester United and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal looking up to them.

Chelsea, Ferguson muttered, but his mind was full of Mourinho's shadow, the self-proclaimed God first and him second, he was a special one, arrogant guy.

Manchester United have just knocked out Arsenal in the Carabao Cup and have met Chelsea again. With Mourinho's character, he will definitely not let go of every title, and it will certainly be two tough battles.

The English League Cup semi-finals are played over two legs, home and away, which also means that the two teams will have to play two battles.

The rest of the Christmas schedule is just the beginning, with the Carabao Cup semi-finals in January and the Champions League knockout rounds in February.

Although only one Chelsea was the most difficult during this period, it was actually difficult to play any team in three days, and the Christmas schedule in previous years often decided the ownership of the league title, and whoever couldn't hold on was left behind.

This season, none other than Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are the hopefuls of winning the league title, with fourth-placed Liverpool already falling behind. The three teams fall out first, and whoever falls out of the championship group first.

To Ferguson's dismay, Spinach is not optimistic about Manchester United at all this year.

The strongest contenders for the league title have only taken place between Chelsea and Arsenal.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea are the favourites, followed by defending champions Arsenal, who are unbeaten in 49 games.

As for Manchester United, the reason given by Spinach is - instability.

From the start of the season, United's first dozen games have not been enough for the spinach company to think they can win the league title this season.

As soon as I returned to China, the news from the media was flying all over the sky.

Most of the media ridiculed Manchester United, especially The Times in London.

'Even Fenerbahce can't take it, how far can they go in the Champions League? While Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are making strong progress, Ferguson still has to worry about their erratic forward line......

Even the city's media, the Manchester Evening News, criticized, "As the top scorer in the Champions League this season, Ruud van Nistelrooy should have been in the starting lineup, but the bench wore off his sharpness to score. ”

"There is a lack of decisive characters in the team, there is no fixed forward core in the frontcourt, and wasting opportunities is like drinking water......"

Defeat will naturally not be praised, not to mention that Manchester United did not play a sense of glory despite defeat in the match against Fenerbahce, which was a completely humiliating game. And Liverpool were praised for their thrilling promotion in the final round.

This game also put them at an absolute disadvantage in the draw for the Champions League knockout round on the third day.

When Ferguson rushed to UEFA headquarters, he was still cursing the scribbling media.

Manchester United was praised when they won, once Manchester United loses? Everyone stepped on it, as if Manchester United lost the game and was the happiest thing for them!

In Nyon, Switzerland, Ferguson and Wenger met unexpectedly, but the two of them didn't even say hello as if they didn't know each other, and their faces looked in one direction.

Then he saw Mourinho talking in the spotlight, and Benitez hiding in the corner in a daze......

There was a strange feeling that England's managers didn't seem to like to be in a crowd, just looking out for themselves or just being strangers.

On the other hand, the manager of an Italian club? People sit in the same row and talk and laugh. Although they are rivals at home, they are united abroad.

Ferguson shook his head and sat down. He knows almost all the coaches of the Champions League round of 16.

There has been no weak team in the Champions League knockout rounds over the years, and I feel very strong when I look at any of them. Ferguson rolled his eyes, hard to believe he could have such an idea.

Manchester United, Lyon, Juventus, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Porto, Real Madrid, Chelsea, AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco, PSV Eindhoven, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Bremen.

In this era, the strongest European clubs are here.

According to the principle of avoidance by the same country, Manchester United will certainly not face their opponents in the quarter-finals. But eight groups topped, with only Arsenal and Chelsea topping the group.

AC Milan, Inter Milan, Monaco, Juventus, Chelsea, Arsenal, Lyon and Bayer Leverkusen are the top of the group.

From this list, it can be seen that the Serie A team was the strongest at that time, and the group leader actually occupied three. Ligue 1 is also very competitive, occupying two spots.

The mighty Arsenal and Chelsea have secured two Premier League places, with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on the rise.

Manchester United will only draw AC Milan and Inter Milan, or Monaco, Juventus or Bayer Leverkusen.

Rivals in the same group, Leon, were the first to draw Germany's Bremen. Then it was AC Milan's turn.

Manchester United's name popped up.

"AC Milan ......"

Ferguson raised his eyebrows, at this moment, he couldn't cry or laugh, who is not good, draw to AC Milan, Milan at this time, at the peak.

This is the worst draw, and it is much easier to draw against any other opponent!

God, it's unimaginable. Why Milan?

Ferguson was even more remorseful for not winning Fenerbahce away from home. If Fenerbahce is taken, his side will not meet AC Milan.

But this is a fact that cannot be changed.

"Milan,"

"It hasn't changed at all."

Dong Fangzhuo Chiguo wore his upper body and stood in the living room watching the TV.

At this time, the draw for the knockout round of the Champions League was being broadcast live on television.

History hasn't changed, Manchester United still met AC Milan in the knockout rounds.

No one knows better than him what happens.

In fact, after the match with Fenerbahce, he vaguely guessed who his opponent was......

What should come is still coming back after all.

AC Milan in 2004-05?

Dong Fangzhuo remembered a lot of thunderous player names, such as Shepchenko, Kaka, Pirlo, Maldini, Seedorf......

Unfortunately, they were eventually reversed by Liverpool with a 3-0 lead in Istanbul......
