717 Rooney's Gift

In fact, everyone can see that the Red Rebels want to touch Barcelona, and the surname may be very small. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In Group C, Barcelona's advantage is still obvious, they beat Bayern, currently firmly occupy the top position of the group, Fiorentina although they performed well, but after all, they still can't challenge the strength of Barcelona and Bayern, the only thing they can do at the moment is to compete with Glasgow Rangers for the League Cup qualification.
In Group D, the Red Rebels will also finish top of the group if nothing else, which makes the chance of the Red Rebels meeting Barcelona have to be postponed until after the last eight, and the same is true for Manchester United.
However, it has also made people more concerned about the future of the Champions League.
Football, especially modern professional football, can often have a greater impact on the game!
The Red Rebels were not too concerned about the future and their opponents, and immediately returned to the Red Rebels after drawing with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Although in the fifth leg of the Champions League group stage, Mourinho saw that there was not much pressure to qualify, and made a small adjustment to the lineup, replacing Kaka with Mesut Ozil, but the German still does not seem to be able to integrate well into the Red Rebels, and his play in the forward position still cannot be integrated with the team.
This made the performance of the Red Rebels not very good throughout the game, and the players were very tired after fighting on multiple fronts, and they couldn't open the situation for a long time.
At the critical moment, it was the Red Rebels academy players who stepped up again, Michael? In the 73rd minute, Johnson suddenly stepped forward into the box, received Alves' cross from the right, and headed past Mandanda.
It was also the only goal of the game for the Red Rebels, giving them three points and ensuring they qualified as top of the group, followed by Marseille and Atletico Madrid's bid for second place in the group, while the hapless Werder Bremen failed to repeat the magic this time around, regardless of the score in the sixth leg, they will leave the European competition.
Three days later, the Red Rebels travelled to take on Aston Villa.
The likes of Kaka and Cesc Fabregas, who had been well rested, returned to the starting line-up and put in a standout performance on the road, with Kaka setting up Sergio Aguero's opener in the 18th minute.
Aston Villa then stubbornly equalised, but the Red Rebels soon overtook the score again with Cesc Fabregas's goal, and then Messi scored twice to help the Red Rebels win 1:4 away at Aston Villa.
In the other two key games in the round of 15, Manchester United won 0-1 away at Manchester City, with Wayne Rooney scoring the winning goal in first-half stoppage time before neither side could find the back of the net.
Chelsea scored a goal first, but Benzema scored twice to lead Arsenal to a super comeback.
After Rijkaard took charge of Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's performance has been unsatisfactory, they are currently ranked 6th in the league, the situation is very serious, Rijkaard has repeatedly said that it needs time, the main core of the team Ronaldinho has also frequently called for Rijkaard to build more time, he believes that the Black Swan will be able to succeed in the Premier League.
It's just that no one knows if Rijkaard will be patient enough with him if he doesn't do well in the end.
…………………… After all the competitions in November, it was a busy December.
Due to the introduction of the winter break, the Premier League's schedule in December is very tight, dense, almost all of them are two games a week, especially around Christmas, which is almost breathless.
Therefore, many people say that the battle for the real Premier League title starts in December, and December is a hurdle to verify the quality of the top team in the Premier League, and only those who can cross it are eligible to compete for the title.
But as if even God wants to deliberately give the Red Rebels a little tribulation, in the first Premier League game after December, the Red Rebels were forced to draw 1:1 at home by Louis van Gaal's Manchester City again, Xiao Xiaoluo opened the scoring for the Red Rebels, but Tevez's goal in the 90th minute helped Manchester City recover the score.
Although Mourinho did not scold the players for this game after the game, watching Manchester City's tough 1-0 win at home to Sunderland, which shortened the gap between them and the Red Rebels to one point, the Red Rebels players were very nervous, after all, this was the first game in December.
However, some people criticized Mourinho, believing that the reason why he was drawn by Manchester City in the league was more because he used half of his main players in the first three days of the league in the Carabao Cup, although the away victory over Tottenham Hotspur advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup, but the team was forced to draw by Manchester City in the league.
"Is it worth it to lose two points for the Carabao Cup?"
In response to the doubts from the outside world, Mourinho chose not to comment, he only cares about the next games.
Since the Red Rebels have already qualified for the top spot in the Champions League group stage in advance, Mourinho did not care about the sixth leg, the away game against Werder Bremen, and sent a lot of substitutes to play, but with goals from Mesut Ozil, Ismael and Theo Walcott, the Red Rebels won 1:3 away against Werder Bremen.
The victory in this game also once again verified one thing, that is, the Red Rebels are really not afraid of attack!
Of course, this also has something to do with Werder Bremen's ineffective attack.
And with the final leg of the group stage over, the dust has settled on the eight Champions League group standings.
The Red Rebels or Manchester United were finally dashed in their desire to meet Barcelona, with all three teams topping their groups, the other five topping the group being Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus, Porto and Real Madrid.
Among them, Juventus was also a surprise, the old lady actually beat last season's runner-up De Roysden in Group F, and qualified from the first place in the group by one point, and De Roysden could only qualify in second place.
The biggest upset in the group stage is AC Milan in Group G, the Rossoneri have no choice but to participate in the rest of the League Cup as the third in the group under the strong attack of Manchester City and Porto, and Porto finally qualified first in the group, while Manchester City was second.
The eight second-placed teams in the group are Bordeaux, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Lyon, Droisden, Manchester City and Schalke 04.
At the UEFA meeting at the end of December, UEFA will conduct the draw for the round of 16 knockout rounds, but in fact, due to the principle of avoiding the same team in the same country, everyone has begun to speculate about the next draw, and many collisions have already been arranged by fans in various combinations, and it is inevitable that some people will guess correctly.
…………………… As the winner of last season's European Golden Boot Award and the best player in various European leagues, Xiao Xiaoluo deservedly became the biggest favorite.
Although the Red Rebels failed to reach the last four of the Champions League, the Red Rebels eventually won the Premier League, which made Ronaldo have enough capital to win these two awards, but it has also been suggested that as an even-numbered year, performance in the European Championship will also be one of the criteria for these two selections.
There is no doubt that Ronaldo's journey to the European Championship is dark, which adds some suspense to whether he wins or not, and last season's Champions League team was Manchester United, and the team's stars Rooney, Robinho and others have performed very well, and have the qualifications and strength to challenge Ronaldo.
All of this makes people pay attention to the two upcoming awards.
However, the Red Rebels were not, and after playing the final round of the Champions League group, they returned to England and immediately headed away to take on Stoke City.
This is another team that has been promoted to the next impressive performance, Stoke City are currently ranked 11th in the Premier League, which can be said to be a very impressive team, and they have also beaten Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal at home, if you simply count on the home record, Stoke City's home record points are enough to rank 6th in the Premier League.
It is precisely because of this that Mourinho attaches great importance to this game, after all, the current points gap between the Red Rebels and Manchester United has narrowed to 1 point, if this game can not win the Stoke City team, the Red Rebels are likely to be overtaken by Manchester United, with Ferguson's old spiciness, and Manchester United's state this season, it will be difficult to reverse at that time.
However, Manchester United's opponents in this round of the league are not good, and Tottenham Hotspur led by the elder Redknapp has also performed well this season, and it is at home again, and it is not easy for Manchester United to win the opponent easily.
In this case, Mourinho played with his main force.
In recent times, Ronaldo seems to feel that the World Footballer of the Year selection is approaching, and he is in surprisingly good form, especially in the league, and he started this game, and he directly scored three goals for the team, helping the Red Rebels beat their opponents 0-3.
Stoke City caused a lot of problems for the Red Rebels in the first half, especially after Alves' injury went off, the Red Rebels' attack was slow to open the situation, and Messi on the right was in a difficult battle without Alves' support.
However, in the second half, Mourinho took advantage of the halftime break to make tactical adjustments, and immediately sounded the clarion call for the Red Rebels to attack.
In the 52nd minute, after Messi cut the ball along the front of the penalty area in the middle, he suddenly passed a through ball, Xiao Xiaoluo entered the penalty area, and scored before everyone scored, 0:1!
After that, Stoke City obviously tightened their camp again, cautiously not daring to advance, but even so, it still couldn't prevent the Red Rebels from scoring again.
In the 77th minute, Kaka switched to the right side, suddenly crossed with his feet, and Xiao Luo pressed Stoke City defender Wilkinson to score with a header, and once again broke through the goal guarded by Sorensen, 0:2!
After the Red Rebels attacked, Stoke City was forced to retreat into the penalty area, set up a bucket formation, but still could not stop the unstoppable Xiao Luo, the Portuguese in the 87th minute, with a direct free kick from outside the penalty area, once again broke through the goal guarded by Sorensen, and the score was rewritten to 0:3!
After the end of this game, the media suddenly set off a new round of hype about Xiao Xiaoluo's excellent state, especially in the last moments of the game, he still has the strength to sprint, as if at the beginning of the game, the straight coach was amazed by his physical fitness.
You must know that Xiao Xiaoluo has always attached great importance to physical training, and he even opened a professional fitness room in his luxury villa, the purpose of which is to carry out professional physical fitness training during the vacation period.
Over the past few seasons, the Red Rebels' laboratory has given him a lot of advice, which has made him more and more physical, but all this has been done without diminishing his flexible surname.
According to the general law, the body is stronger, the muscle strength increases, and then the flexibility decreases.
For example, in Xiao Yu's previous life, Xiao Xiaoluo changed from a fancy boy when he first landed in the Premier League to a powerful scorer who later relied on a perverted body, and everyone could see that his flexibility had decreased and his skills had begun to become rough, all because his body had become stronger.
But now, although the Red Rebels' laboratory proposes to let Xiao Xiao Luo improve his physical fitness and confrontation strength, they do not want to sacrifice his physical flexibility, but try their best to tap his potential in other aspects, which makes Xiao Xiao Luo's skills not weakened at all, as delicate as when he first landed in the Premier League, but his physical fitness has been greatly improved.
It can be said that today's Xiao Xiaoluo is the result of scientific training and systematic training, and there are also players such as Curtis, Messi, and Fabregas like him, who are all a group of finished stars under the supervision and systematic training of the Red Rebels Laboratory, which also represents the contribution of the Red Rebels Laboratory to the team!
Speaking to the media after the hat-trick, Ronaldo was thrilled and said in his post-match media interview that he is in excellent form at the moment and that he hopes to help the team score more goals and bring more wins.
However, for his friend Kaka, who has maintained a goal drought for more than 4 months, as the team's top scorer, Xiao Xiaoluo, who is in a very hot state of scoring this season, gave his own advice, he believes that Kaka should take advantage of the winter break to rest and rest, and don't care too much about the so-called goals.
"Kaka, who doesn't score, is still the most important and indispensable member of our team!"
In addition to Ronaldo's hat-trick, the Red Rebels received other good news after the 17th round of the league.
Arsenal 1:1 Middlesbrough; Liverpool drew 2-2 at home; Everton beat Manchester City 0-1 away; Droysden beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0 and Chelsea drew 1-1 at home to West Ham United.
There have been plenty of draws in this round of the Premier League, but none of them were the happiest for the Red Rebels, who were really excited when Tottenham Hotspur held Alex Ferguson to a 0-0 draw at home to Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, which allowed the Red Rebels to extend the gap to three points again.
It was a generous gift from Wayne Rooney, who missed the game after a pre-match training stop, and the absence of Diego left United weak to find the back of the net.
And this game also let everyone see the importance of Rooney to Manchester United!
