For Manchester United today, there is only one last one of the most important battlefields of the season, and that is the Champions League.

All the trophies that can be competed for in the league have been won, and the name of "Treble" is indeed very bluffing, but in terms of gold content, it is slightly insufficient, except for the two Premier League championship trophies, whether it is the Community Shield or the FA Cup, they are all chicken ribs.

The Champions League is different, it represents the highest level of glory for European clubs, and Ferguson is an ambitious coach, so why not keep up the effort to win the Champions League and achieve the quadruple?

There have been rumors in the outside world before, Ferguson has more than once moved the idea of retirement, but in the end he still sits on the throne of Manchester United manager, there are two reasons, one is that he can't give up, now the Premier League is rising, Manchester United has the strength to compete for the title, but unable to maintain the hegemony, Ferguson is very aware of his importance to the team and the club, if he rashly hangs the seal, Manchester United is likely to fall into a period of turmoil, and even more unable to maintain the glory of the Red Devils. So until a suitable successor is found, the godfather of Manchester United will not dare to leave.

The other, and most important, reason is that Ferguson wants to lead the team to another Champions League trophy at the end of his coaching career and return to the top of the Champions League.

In addition to the extreme thirst for honor, the most important thing is to pave the way for Manchester United after his retirement, if Manchester United can reach the top again, then the follow-up impact will last for a long time, even if Manchester United falls into a turbulent period at a certain stage, resulting in poor results, but the Champions League title is there, it can still attract a lot of excellent players to join, as long as there are good players, coupled with the successor's not too bad coaching ability, Manchester United will always be able to recover glory one day.

The old man has dedicated his life to Manchester United, Manchester United is like his own child to him, everything he does is for Manchester United.

This season's Champions League trophy, Ferguson is bound to win, especially when the team has reached the semi-finals, and there are only three games away from the championship, Ferguson naturally has no reason to give up.

So, in the 34th round of the league against Everton, it was natural for Ferguson to use the rotation. After this round of league games, in midweek, the Champions League beacon will be rekindled, Manchester United will go to Germany to play Schalke 04, in order to let the main players get more time to rest and adjust, even if it is to temporarily abandon the league, Ferguson does not hesitate to - anyway, the league championship has been in advance, and he really doesn't care much about the result of the league later.

Of course, such words cannot be spoken. Ferguson knows exactly what his players are thinking, and the league has come to a close, with United unbeaten in the past 33 rounds, making it possible for United to replicate Arsenal's unbeaten myth in the 03-04 season.

No one wants to admit that they are inferior to others, especially for giants like Manchester United, Arsenal is Manchester United's biggest league rival before, even if Manchester United is recognized as the Premier League hegemon, but Arsenal's 03-04 season 49 games unbeaten myth, still make countless people admire and admire, now, the opportunity to catch up with the "myth" is in front of you, Manchester United soldiers are naturally high emotions want to take this glory into the bag.

The team's desire to win is strong, and Ferguson certainly can't hit the enthusiasm of the big guys, so after weighing, although there are still a lot of substitutes and young players, on the front line, Fan Bizhuang and Rooney still start together, and the midfield is led by Kaka.

This is a "concession" from Ferguson, Everton is barely a strong team, but there is no comparison with Manchester United, in his opinion, the half-main and half-substitute lineup is enough to solve the opponent's problem, especially the team is led by the two aces of Van Bizhuang and Kaka, it is not too difficult to win.

After all, everyone knows that the addition of Van Bizhuang and Kaka is absolutely crucial to Manchester United's invincibility this season, and the presence of these two, even if it is a rotation of the lineup, is enough to make the team explode into an extremely strong fighting force.

Of course, Ferguson didn't plan to let the two core players play the whole game, the other main players have time to rest and adjust, Fan Bizhuang and Kaka will also have, but the difference is just how much, Ferguson's plan is that it will be almost the same for half a game, no matter what the result is, anyway, he has already given the opportunity, and whether he can seize it is the players' own business.

He doesn't care how the game wins or loses, it is best if he can win or not, so it doesn't matter.

……

The game went somewhat smoothly as Ferguson had expected, with just 30 minutes into the game giving United a two-goal lead, with Owen netting twice in the seventh and 23rd minutes to seal the win early.

Van Bizhuang was also positive, and although he didn't score, Owen's second goal came from his assist.

Ferguson was undoubtedly pleased with the result, but the reporters outside the stadium and the commentators in the commentary box felt a little regretful.

Van Bizhuang is arguably the best and most goal-scorer in England this season, and he now has 31 goals in the league scorer list, six ahead of second-placed Arsenal striker Robin van Persie, and can be said to have sealed the Premier League Golden Boot early.

But there is clearly more expectation for the in-form Fan Bizhuang and the desire to see him score more beautiful goals. But in these two rounds, Fan Bizhuang has not scored anything, which is not much different from Fan Bizhuang's previous performance of scoring goals in almost every game.

"In these games, Fan's form is still very good, but for some reason, his goal goal seems to have slowed down temporarily!"

"Maybe the overall situation of the league has been decided, and Fan is starting to slack off?"

"Maybe Fan should be more positive, as the top player in football today, he has to be more strict with himself!"

These voices have a somewhat "critical" connotation.

That's the way it is in football, when you are high, everyone gives you praise, and when you don't perform as well as what people expect, there are dissonances.

In the past two weeks, Fan Bizhuang has also seen a lot of voices on the Internet asking why he has fallen into a "goal drought", but he didn't take it to heart, he knows very well that there is no problem with his state, and he has not scored in two consecutive rounds, which does not mean anything, and his excellent performance in the game has also proved this.

Sometimes, scoring goals is a matter of course, and sometimes you don't have to force it if you don't score a goal, do what you have to do, and then the goal will always come.

Fan Bizhuang didn't take these voices to heart, but he was still somewhat affected, so in this game, he also showed more effort.

It is precisely because of his positivity that he has brought a huge threat to Everton's defence, which has allowed other teammates to get more opportunities, and whether Manchester United can take a two-goal lead in less than half an hour, Van Bizhuang can be said to have contributed a lot.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines with a satisfied expression on his face. He is in a very good mood, the team is two goals ahead, the most important core players are also very good, although he has not scored for the time being, but his role is undoubted, as long as this good form is maintained and brought to the Champions League, then Manchester United will defeat their opponents and advance to the final, undoubtedly more certain.

Ferguson also hopes that Fan Bizhuang can score goals and take the league goals one step further, but he did not force it, he will only give Fan Bizhuang half a game, and then let the opponent return to the bench to rest, or that sentence, when the overall situation of the league has been decided, you can put it first, and everyone's main energy must be concentrated on the Champions League.

It's just that the next game made Ferguson feel that his heart was pulled by an invisible hand.

In the 36th minute, Fan Bizhuang collided with Everton left wing-back Baines in an attack, and although Fan Bizhuang fell to the ground and quickly stood up, two minutes later, Fan Bizhuang was facing the coach's bench and made a gesture.

It's a gesture to request a substitution!

Fan made a gesture to the coach's bench asking for a substitution! What happened? ”

"Is it because of that collision? Did Fan get hurt in any way? Everyone knows that Fan is always persistent on the football field and has never asked to be replaced on his own initiative, which is the first time in history...... It seems that there is something unexpected in Fan's body! ”

"That's really bad news! You know, in a few days, Manchester United will go to Germany for the Champions League semi-finals, and if Van misses due to injury, it will be a big blow for Manchester United......"

"Substitution! Substitution! ”

"Javier! Javier! You're on! ”

"Robb! Rob! You bastard, why don't you go over and take a look! ”

Ferguson's expression suddenly became solemn, he quickly ordered his assistant to replace Hernandez, and then motioned to the team doctor Robb to hurry up, and he was also waiting anxiously on the sidelines.

After receiving the referee's signal, Robb took his medical assistant and ran into the field quickly, asked a few simple questions, and then walked towards the field with Fan Bizhuang with his assistant.

His expression was a little grim, the injury after the collision was actually not too worrying, I was afraid that it was the kind of sudden injury without any contact, because this situation would generally be very serious, and it could be a muscle strain.

"How?"

Ferguson greeted him anxiously, when he was about to face the most important Champions League battle, if Fan Bizhuang was injured and absent, it would have a huge impact on the team's strength and morale, and Ferguson was not nervous.

"Not sure for the time being. I need to check this in more detail. ”

Luo Bo replied like this, Fan Bizhuang, who was being supported, smiled reluctantly, he was very clear about his physical condition, and said, "There is no discomfort in the collision, but ...... The toe of my right foot seemed to be twisted, and it hurt when I stood on the ground, and I didn't dare to run hard, so I ......"

Hearing Fan Bizhuang say this, Ferguson's hanging heart finally let go gently, which is much better than an injury such as a muscle strain or a ruptured cruciate ligament.

But then Ferguson's face was solemn again, this is nothing to be happy about, the toe injury is also an injury, and I don't know how much time it will take to recover. It's okay for a short time, but if it's a long time and you can't catch up with the Champions League semi-finals, that's ......

Ferguson sighed helplessly and shook his head.
