Some people laughed and joked that the Glazer family was really unlucky, because since they took a stake in Manchester United, Manchester United has fewer and fewer titles, and the Red Devils' combat effectiveness has become more and more subpar.

Especially this season, Manchester United almost squeezed out of the top four of the league with Everton, although in the end, Manchester United relied on Ferguson's strategy at a critical moment, successfully trampled Everton under his feet, and successfully entered the top four of the league, but it was far from the expectations of Red Devils fans.

The giants of the Premier League have always had a habit of not winning the league championship, and it is not bad to compete for the cup championship, at least they can get a fig leaf, so that their hands will not be empty and embarrassing.

United also reached the final of the Carabao Cup, only to lose to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.

The Blues made a name for themselves with the League Cup and Premier League doubles, especially Jose Mourinho, who has become a Premier League upstart, but there are still people who think that he is following the old path of Yang Cheng.

Look, last season's Caesar won the League Cup and the Premier League, and now Mourinho is following in his footsteps to win these two titles, but last year Caesar also had the League Cup, but now Chelsea can only live with the double crown, and endure the shame of being killed five times by Liverpool in one season.

Jose Mourinho's life is really difficult, but Ferguson is even harder.

After the end of the Premier League game, the Glazer family announced a strong entry into Manchester United, they will withdraw Manchester United from the stock market and turn it into a family business, at the same time, the Glazer family promised to give Ferguson a huge transfer fee, let Manchester United operate in the transfer market, strengthen the team itself.

But they have also said that they hope to win the FA Cup, which is the only title that United can compete for this season.

But in fact, with the current strength of Manchester United, it is really difficult to beat Liverpool, whose morale is high.

When the game reached the 29th minute, Larsson pulled to the right side, received the pass of Robben who forced the breakthrough, knocked back in front of the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, Gerrard inserted in the back row, and made an earth-shattering volley about 10 meters on the right side of the penalty area, Carroll made a save, but could not prevent the ball from going into the net, 0:1!

The young Manchester United goalkeeper looked frustrated, and after replacing Howard as a famous player, he always wanted to show his best quality and form to keep his place in the main line, but he proved that he was not much better than Howard after game.

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, a player who was already doomed to miss the Champions League final, showed very, very good form in this game and threatened the United goal from the start.

It was also Gerrard's outstanding performance in the 43rd minute, after taking the ball and pushing forward, he made a low cross into the penalty area, and after Larsson successfully countered offside, he entered the penalty area and scored the goal of Manchester United again with a low shot, 0:2!

With two goals in a row, Liverpool looked like they were in the limelight, especially Gerrard's performance, which made people see his role in the Liverpool team.

The better Gerrard performs, the more pessimistic Liverpool's prospects in the Champions League final will be, because will Liverpool be able to perform so well without Gerrard? Can Yang Cheng's team still beat Juventus like Manchester United?

Seriously, Manchester United and Juventus are fundamentally different in terms of tactics.

Ferguson is a tough guy, and it is rare to see him choose conservative tactics, even if he dies, he must die standing up; But Fabio Capello's side are more defensive, with the Italians believing in putting their goal tight, making sure I don't concede a goal, then waiting for you to make a mistake before I score your goal.

Undoubtedly, the latter is even more of a headache.

After the rematch in the second half, Yang Cheng made a substitution adjustment, he replaced Davis with Arshavin, Gerrard retreated to play a double back near Carrick, and Arshavin played a forward midfielder to cooperate with the trident in front.

Everyone can see that this is Yang Cheng's conscious desire to try Arshavin and prepare for the loss of Gerrard in the Champions League final.

But it is clear that it does not work out well!

…………

............ "Facing Roy Keane directly, there is nothing Ashavin can do!" Benitez shook his head.

The Russian is indeed very technical, with excellent awareness and game reading, but the problem is that his body has never been able to show his technical skills in the face of high-intensity pressing. ,

This has become the biggest obstacle to his performance in the Premier League.

Yang Cheng watched silently, because he replaced Ashavin to try a style of play without Gerrard, but Ashavin was obviously unable to take on this responsibility at this time.

Although Manchester United's style of play in this game is very oppressive, the defense line has not shrunk, that is to say, there is still a lot of space for Arshavin, but the Russians have completely lost their temper when they meet Keane, especially the shock of the Manchester United captain, in the case of 2 goals behind in the game, Keane killed the red eye.

After encountering Keane with the ball several times in a row, Arshavin began to avoid Keane to get the ball, which lengthened the distance between him and the trident in front of him.

"The lack of physical confrontation, if this problem is not changed, he will never expect to gain a foothold in the Premier League!" Yang Cheng said with some distress.

He likes to attack, so he prefers to have Arshavin replace Gerrard because the Russian is very good in attack and passing, and he has a lot of characteristics on the ball and can help Liverpool hold the ball up front.

But against Manchester United, he can't bear the pressure, and against Juventus, who are more defensive and have better pressing ability, can he be reassured? You must know that Capello's 442 double-back play this season has worn out countless strong teams and stifled the play of countless talents.

Just when Yang Cheng and Benitez were thinking and considering countermeasures, Giggs broke through from the left side and passed to the penalty area, and Forlan inserted in the back row to pull one back for Manchester United, 1:2!

For a time, Manchester United played its own morale and attacked like a tide, but on the contrary, Liverpool's side was a little defeated.

Yang Cheng immediately made a substitution, first replacing Robben on the right with Murphy, letting Arshavin play as a right winger, Murphy to play in the middle of the attack, and then replacing Gerrard with Essien, with Essien and Carrick forming a double midfield.

The substitution was very effective in containing United's attack, Essien's defensive ability is still very good, and his running ability is very good, and he can protect Carrick and ensure that Liverpool's midfield is comfortable.

As for Murphy, he has good awareness and technique, and belongs to the kind of practical player, the Manchester United killer seems to have a real psychological advantage in the face of Manchester United, and he is very confident in winning the ball on several occasions, especially against Keane.

In the 85th minute, when Xiao Xiaoluo broke through on the left side, he was tripped by Gary Neville, the referee did not hesitate to award a free kick in front, Murphy personally took a free kick, Vidic deliberately missed the front point, and Larsson scored with a header at the back point, 1:3!

This goal also completely pronounced Manchester United's death sentence.

But even more ironically, when Liverpool scored the third goal, the entire Millennium Stadium United fans chanted in unison: "Manchester United is dead!" Manchester United is dead! ”

Instead of wearing the club's traditional red jersey, they wore black clothes as if they were going to a memorial service, which makes people have to sigh, is this group of Manchester United fans mourning the death of Manchester United?

Maybe it was because he saw the actions of Manchester United fans, or maybe he was really unhappy with the team's nearly 800 million pound deal, and in the last minute of the game, there was still one chance, but Keane directly fired a long shot in anger, kicked the ball into the stands, and then walked away without looking back.

Manchester United is dead!

It's really dead!

"In the words of Houston, the vice-president of the Manchester United Shareholders Association before the game, they didn't come to disrupt the stadium, they wanted to come and see the final performance of the Red Devils spirit of Manchester United, and they wore black just to mourn the death of the club and the spirit of the Red Devils who were about to leave them." The on-site commentator said with emotion.

The live TV camera is aimed at many Manchester United fans, many of whom have a black armband wrapped around their arms, on which are written "RIP" three white letters, which are very conspicuous, which means "rest in peace".

"I wonder if Rezer will regret his acquisition when he sees such a frantic rebellion by Manchester United fans? You know, this group of Manchester United fans had protested long before the game, and their actions were even sympathetic and approved by the Welsh police. ”,

Just as the on-site commentator expressed his feelings, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"It's over!" The on-site commentator looked a little excited, as he saw Liverpool rushing into the pitch to celebrate their FA Cup victory, "Let's congratulate Liverpool, they finally got the first trophy of the season with a little weight, out of the shadow of losing the Premier League title, I believe that with this FA Cup, they will be more confident to face Juventus in the Champions League final!" ”

"Let's wish Liverpool a memorable night in Istanbul and hope they can bring back the Champions League trophy that has been absent from England for 20 years!" The on-site commentator is also English, and is obviously on Liverpool's side. It can be said that throughout the late 70s and early 80s, English football was still very competitive in Europe, with Liverpool in 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1984, including the 85th time when they lost the championship because of the Heysel tragedy; At Nottingham Forest in 1979 and 1980, the magical Clough's team took Europe by storm; Aston Villa also won the only Champions League in the club's history in 1982.

Throughout the early 80s, English football swept the entire Europa continent, but since the Heysel tragedy in 85, Margaret Thatcher took the initiative to admit her mistake, England faced a 5-year European ban, and Liverpool suffered a 7-year European ban, which made the strength of English football come to an abrupt end.

All of this is inseparable from the political factor, as well as the methods of some of the UEFA politicians, the competing interests of all parties, and if you really want to explore it, you may be able to write a long novel.

In the past 20 years, only Manchester United has reached the Champions League final, but it has encountered the miraculous Kaiserslautern led by Yang Cheng, and finally returned with hatred.

Ordinary fans will not pay attention to these, they will only care, in the Premier League has now ushered in the title of the world's first league, the Champions League has long been occupied by Serie A and La Liga teams, which makes the Premier League's world first league seem somewhat unconvincing, they desperately want a Premier League team to stand up and win a Champions League.

In this context, not only Liverpool fans, but also fans of other teams, and even some fans of Manchester United and Chelsea, they will support Liverpool as English fans, hoping that the Reds can do their best to compete for the Champions League and win the first Champions League in the history of the Premier League, which is also the Champions League after 21 years of English football.

At least for this moment, their thoughts are aligned!

…………

…………

"If you want to play Juventus with this lineup, it's difficult!"

On the sidelines of the pitch, Ferguson and Yang Cheng stood side by side.

The FA Cup final is over, and Ferguson is more of a friend to talk to Yang Cheng, and he will not help Yang Cheng with advice, but just put forward some of his own opinions.

At their point, it's hard to influence their decision-making.

Yang Cheng knew and smiled, losing Gerrard would be a very big loss to Liverpool.

Davies has been injured this season and his form is hard to guarantee, while Carrick has been consistent, but the problem is that he is a playmaker who needs someone to help him, and he can't do it alone.

If Davies is in good form, maybe he can, but if Juventus cut off the link between Davies and Carrick, then Liverpool will need another man in midfield to help Carrick.

It used to be Gerald, but now someone else has to step up.

"You must know better than me, you can't be in a hurry to play Juventus, you have to be stable!" Ferguson reminded.

In fact, Yang Cheng is more experienced than Ferguson in this regard, because he has been in Serie A for four years, and has competed with Capello and Juventus for four years, and he has almost crushed Capello and Juventus in these four years.

But the problem is that he had the enviable luxury of Inter Milan's squad back then, but Liverpool today does not have the strength of Inter's squad at that time.

The likes of Ronaldo and Arjen Robben are really strong, but it's more about talent and potential, at the end of the day they are still young, and the only world-class attacker in the team is Steven Gerrard, but the problem is that he was absent in the crucial final. , which also directly leads to the pessimism of the outside world about Liverpool!

Yang Cheng patted Ferguson on the shoulder and sent the old man away, who asked Yang Cheng for a few tickets before leaving, saying that he would definitely go to the scene to cheer for him in person, so that Yang Cheng promised again and again that he would let the club send him when he turned back.

"All of England is pinning its hopes on you, come on!" Ferguson's last words were a smile of encouragement.

The fact that they haven't won the Champions League for 21 years has made the Premier League, which has the world's number one league, feel a little embarrassed, and it is indeed desperate for a team to help the Premier League accomplish this feat.

Seeing off Alex Ferguson, Yang Cheng began to put aside everything about the final for the time being and threw himself into the celebration of winning the FA Cup.

After all, this is Liverpool's first trophy of the season!

The Liverpool players were so excited that they sprayed each other with champagne, and even Yang Cheng didn't let go, until the last one was covered in champagne, wet, and looked indescribably embarrassed, like a chicken in soup.

At the medal ceremony, Ferguson did not go on stage to receive the runner-up medal, but the Manchester United players walked on the podium one by one under the leadership of Keane, while Rio Ferdinand cried on the spot after receiving the medal.

Yang Cheng and the Liverpool players followed the Manchester United players on stage to receive their medals.

When Yang Cheng walked on the podium, the stands of the entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium burst into applause and boiling, and Liverpool fans shouted Caesar's name one after another, affirming Yang Cheng's contribution to Liverpool in the past two seasons and his outstanding leadership results.

As is customary in the FA Cup, a member of the royal family will come to each final to present the awards, and this time they will be the crown prince of the United Kingdom, Prince Charles.

"Congratulations, Caesar!" Prince Charles smiled and handed the medal to Yang Cheng's hand and congratulated with a smile.

"Thank you!" Yang Cheng responded politely.

Prince Charles always maintained a kind smile that made people feel kind, "We all hope that you can lead Liverpool to beat Juventus in the next Champions League final and win a Champions League for us!" ”

Yang Cheng couldn't help nodding, "I'll do my best!" ”

Prince Charles laughed, "We all have confidence in you, Caesar!" ”

After a pause, he said: "We are preparing, and when the time comes, we will organize some members of the royal family to come to Istanbul in person to watch this game live and cheer for you!" ”

Liverpool still has a certain influence in England, and the mood of the English people generally hopes that Liverpool will win the championship, so in this context, it seems that the whole of England is standing behind Liverpool and becoming their strong backing.

Of course, this kind of thing is also relatively normal, for example, the Spanish prime minister didn't come to Camp Nou to watch the game in person when he was in the knockout round, but Barcelona still lost that game, and the Spanish prime minister and the domestic media did not criticize Barcelona much, so Yang Cheng will not feel pressured by this.

To put it bluntly, whether it is the Spanish Prime Minister or the members of the British royal family, they go to the stadium to watch the game, they are just a group of ordinary fans, at best, they have a certain status symbol, but that's all.

Fundamentally, they are on an equal footing with ordinary fans, and they simply cannot be above other fans, let alone the team, and the leader of the team.

You know, in the Premier League, the manager has the most power in the field of competition, which no one can question.

But with the involvement of the British royal family, there is no doubt that this final will be even more eye-catching.
