Chapter Seventy-Five: If Li Qingshan Didn't Leave Manchester United......

The game is about to start, and the rain shows no signs of stopping. The Atletico Madrid players standing in the stadium were almost beaten by the thunderbolts and couldn't open their eyes, Diego Costa smeared several taels of hairspray before the game was quickly washed away by the rain, and the big back that was originally erected now has his hair drooping down and sticking to his beautiful forehead........

But he wasn't the most embarrassed, the most embarrassing was David Luiz from Chelsea, whose explosive head had been turned shoulder-length into shoulder-length hair by the rain.....

Chelsea's owner, Abou, appeared in the box, and when the TV camera swept the Russian giant who brought a lot of money to the London team that was on the verge of bankruptcy and ushered in the era of golden dollar football, Abu stood up leisurely and waved to the Chelsea fans at the scene, and the heavy rain did not affect the image of the Chelsea big financier at all.

"Looks like Abu is in a good mood today!"

Speaking from the commentary box in front of Stamford Bridge, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

'It's natural, the first season he brought Jose Mourinho back to Chelsea this season, Chelsea made it back to the last four of the Champions League and the chances of winning this home game are still very high. Gary Neville says the former Manchester United captain is now a guest commentator based on Sky Sports.

On his other side is his old rival Carragher, who also joined Sky Sports' commentary squad after his retirement last season.

The two England stars, who are the former Manchester United captain and the former Liverpool vice-captain respectively, commented on the same stage, and Sky Sports An's mind is also Sima Zhao's heart.....

Sure enough, hearing Gary Neville say this, Carragher habitually sang the opposite.

'I don't think Chelsea can win this game easily! Atletico Madrid, despite their apparent appearance as far apart from Chelsea, are a very mature team that Simeone has been honing for years. And this Chelsea team is still the first year since Mourinho's return, and they are not particularly consistent. The early loss of hope for the league title is proof of this! ”

Andy Gray also has his own camera as a commentator, so he took Carragher's words and said: "Speaking of which, there is another player in the Atletico Madrid squad that we are somewhat familiar with, and he led FC a year and a half ago; Li Qingshan, an amateur team of Manchester United who reached the fifth round of the FA Cup! ”

"Yes, that's right, I was very impressed with this Chinese guy at the time. At that time, in the match between FC United and Liverpool, you were the one who was playing against him, Jamie! Gary Neville said to Carragher with a wicked grin.

For Sky Sports viewers, the duo is a repertoire for every game.

Sure enough, Carragher was not to be outdone: "I have to admit that this is a very good player. Maybe David Moyes had chosen to keep him at Manchester United, and now Manchester United may not be seventh...... But in this way, Moyes is still the manager of Manchester United, which is really exciting. ”

Gary Neville's face is a little unpleasant, Manchester United this season has indeed surprised everyone, and the departure of Alex Ferguson has had a bigger impact on Manchester United than expected.

In the Champions League quarterfinals, defeated Bayern Munich away, after exiting the Champions League, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 0-2 away to Everton, which made Manchester United theoretically enter the top four There is no possibility - after all the matches in the 35th round of the Premier League, Manchester United has 60 points, and Arsenal, which ranks fourth, has 60 points, even if Arsenal loses all the next three rounds, the fourth cannot be Manchester United........

David Moyes set a humiliating record in his first season at the Reds, who fell out of the top three for the first time in the Premier League era and will miss out on the Champions League for the first time.....

David Moyes was sacked by Manchester United – last season they were Premier League champions, and the defending champions ended up seventh in the league.

What makes Gary Neville even more unhappy is that Manchester United's arch-rival Liverpool is now at the top of the Premier League with 80 points, three points more than second-place Manchester City, and is likely to win Liverpool's first Premier League title in Liverpool history this season.

Carragher looked at Gary Neville with smugness, and after his retirement, it was a great pleasure for him to play against an old rival who had been fighting on the court for more than a decade. What's more, this time it was a rare time for him to have the upper hand.

Seeing that Gary Neville was a little speechless, Andy Gray came out to play a round, "Li Qingshan's performance in La Liga is indeed quite eye-catching, he is in the winter transfer window this season, Atletico Madrid spent 8 million euros to bring in from Manchester United, and as a result, so far, he has scored 27 goals for Atletico Madrid, second only to Diego Costa, and is the second scorer in Atletico Madrid this season!" And it only took him half a season to do it all. If he is allowed to have a full La Liga season, God knows how many goals he can score! ”

'David Moyes made a lot of mistakes at Manchester United, but looking back, maybe letting Li Qingshan go was the most regrettable thing to do. Li Qingshan's style of play is very suitable for the Premier League, and he is not yet 21 years old, a player so young, if Moyes can sign Li Qingshan in the Premier League in the winter, maybe Manchester United's results will not be so bad, and even the team in this semi-final may be Manchester United..... who knows. And more importantly, Manchester United's selection of the centre-forward position for the next decade will not have to be worried. With Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie getting older, and Danny Welbeck delaying his succession, the centre-forward position is a big concern for the future. Gary Neville lamented.

Just below the Sky Sports commentary trio, is the front commentary team of CCTV to London, Duan Xuan and Xu Yang went to London this time to explain the second leg of the Champions League semifinals on the spot - this is generally the Champions League final CCTV will send a live commentary team, but this time it is only the semi-finals, and the more important reason is that this game has attracted too much attention in China, even far beyond the game between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

The reason is naturally because Atletico Madrid has a key Chinese player in the team.

Now Duan Xuan has already debugged the equipment, just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the start of the game.

"Okay, audience friends, here is the 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League semi-final match that CCTV will give you a live commentary, the match between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, this game will be played at Chelsea's home stadium at Stamford Bridge, and the two sides will compete fiercely to qualify for the Champions League final!"

As the referee's whistle blew, Duan Xuan's voice came from the TV, and a flying cat shot perpendicular to the ground was aimed at the center circle of the stadium, and Atletico Madrid, who had won the right to kick off, sent the ball out.

The game has officially begun!
