Losing to Manchester United away, the Barcelona generals naturally expressed their dissatisfaction.

The Barcelona players agreed that the defeat to Manchester United was unlucky and that they were the stronger sides. The young Iniesta said: "If we had scored first, the excitement would have been indescribable, and the rest would have been inexorable. Unfortunately we conceded a goal and we were chasing points the whole game, and we went into the dressing room with a regret and everyone started to think about the next round. ”

Puyol made excuses for not being able to see Dong Fangzhuo score, and he didn't feel that he was at fault: "We are so unlucky, if Xiao Luo had scored at the post, everything would have been different. The only mistake we made was not taking advantage of the opportunities we created. Compared to Lyon, we improved, but the process was different from that game. No way, our opponent is a team that can settle the game with just a few passes. ”

Ronaldinho is the most optimistic: "We should never be disappointed or doubt ourselves, just think about getting fit and focus on the second leg. Manchester United did a good job of taking advantage of our chances, punishing us and we were all surprised when we scored, we didn't expect it at all. United's short passes are good, but they don't have certainty in front of goal, anything is possible, and if we continue to play the way we played before the goal, they will suffer in the second leg. I repeat, we created more than they did, and that was enough to push us to save the score in Spain. I didn't think they could decide the game on their own, we controlled Dong and Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney well before conceding the goal. ”

In order to prepare for the second leg of the match, the Spanish Football Federation deliberately postponed the match between Barcelona and Sevilla, and Barcelona, who had no pressure to win the league, could wait for the arrival of Manchester United.

But Manchester United can't, Manchester United are still only two points away from Chelsea, and in the next game, Manchester United will focus on the Champions League? Or go all out to catch up with Chelsea in the Premier League? Ferguson gave the answer in an interview with Sky Sports.

Ferguson believes that it will be more difficult to turn the tables in the league than in the Champions Cup. He said: 'Chelsea have a small lead, but they are two points above us and they will do their best to grasp and exploit those two points. On the contrary, against Barcelona away we can have our fate in our own hands and we have to believe in ourselves in the away game. ”

'Our confidence came from the first leg, where we played a good football for an hour,' said Ferguson, "and then as you can see, the 2-1 score will allow us to drop our baggage and be more calm in the second leg. ”

However, the current personnel situation of Manchester United is not optimistic, Scholes, Heinze, Brown and Smith have all been reimbursed for the season, and Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra are unable to play in the second leg due to red cards, Manchester United is definitely short of major generals.

But Ferguson is still full of confidence: "We are a young team and playing in a tournament like this gives us extra enthusiasm, and they are an experienced team, we have seen a lot of similar situations, and we are a team that has a lot of defensive play, so I think the two teams are on the same level. ”

But Ferguson still can't escape the shackles of the league, and against Tottenham away, Ferguson can only win.

At White Hart Lane, Ferguson was brave again, in the selection of midfielders, Fletcher, Park Ji-sung and Fu Qiong partnered in the midfield, and the forward trident was also changed by him, Rossi replaced Ronaldo, Rooney was replaced by Ryan Giggs, and only Dong Fangzhuo stayed at the front.

He has to rotate, and without rotation, United may not be able to continue on either front.

Such a rotation was already very bold, and the Manchester Evening News immediately interpreted: "Is Ferguson going to give up the league? This is too child's play, did he calculate that there was no chance of winning at Stamford Bridge later? As he said, the odds of a league win against Chelsea are not as good as the chances of reaching the Champions League final? ”

Either way, that day at White Hart Lane, many people were not optimistic that Manchester United would win on the road.

"Giuseppe,"

"It's an opportunity."

"You have to take it, what we need is victory."

Before the game, Dong Fangzhuo encouraged Giuseppe Rossi, although the partners were replaced by Giggs and Rossi, but Dong Fangzhuo did not think that the lord had given up the league, but just wanted everyone to get the opportunity to rest.

Before the start of the game, what made Dong Fangzhuo a little depressed was that Arsenal took the lead in ending the game, Henry scored twice in two consecutive rounds, and the number of league goals reached 32 goals, while Dong Fangzhuo still stayed at 27, and the goal gap between the two was widened to 5 goals.

Including this one, there are only four rounds left in the league, and it is obviously unrealistic to chase five goals in four rounds of the league.

32 goals, making Henry himself the "strongest scorer king" after the Premier League restructuring. surpassed Shearer's single-season record of 31 goals and enjoyed the glory of the Premier League's single-season scoring record.

There are also good reasons for Ferguson to rotate, this season's Tottenham team has no desire, the Champions Cup is hopeless, but has already qualified for the League Cup, so Ferguson dares to rotate so many players.

Of course, the most important point is that Tottenham Hotspur has lost to Manchester United in the last four home games in the league, and Tottenham is a point boy.

Carrick returned to his old club and was booed to his heart's content. Fans were unhappy with Carrick's departure to join Manchester United, but it was Carrick's stunning performance that allowed United to score first.

In front of Tottenham fans, Carrick performed his best long pass. In the 34th minute of the game, Carrick found the teenager Rossi on the right side with a long pass, and Rossi easily broke through the opponent with the ball on the right side, and then knocked Dong Fangzhuo in the middle.

Dong Fangzhuo struck a cold arrow from 28 yards out to score the furthest goal he has ever scored since joining United, bringing his tally to 28 league goals.

With that goal, United led Tottenham in the first half and restarted in the second half, when Rossi once again tore through the Tottenham defence on the right and scored his fourth league goal of the season.

In the end, Manchester United won 2-0 away at Tottenham.

"Ferguson wanted to give up, but the captain said no." The Manchester Evening News teased Alex Ferguson and Dong Fangzhuo after the game.

"Dong scored a great goal, and that distance was too far for him. At 28 and 32, Dong still has hope of catching up with Henry, and with three league games, everything is possible. ”

Possible?

Dong Fangzhuo didn't think about it, he was thinking about the second leg against Barcelona, and he would rather exchange 28 league goals for a Champions League goal, as long as he can win Barcelona.

On April 25, Ferguson showed up in Barcelona with the disciples he could bring with him......

He was accompanied by Scholes and Smith's wounded men......

'Manchester United have arrived in Barcelona and they need to get at least one draw here, Manchester United are stretched thin in midfield and if Paul Scholes and Keane are still in the team, Manchester United will have a much better time.

Rustling......

Keane, who was far away in England, finally turned off the television.

I don't know why, I just can't be in Barcelona in this life...... ()
